I EnUu.EeEs
There is very little reason to doubt
that the Administration Is exceedingly
anxious to bring about the annexation of
the northern provinces Of Mexico. Be.
sides the significant illusions contained
in the President inaugural, there are
recent declarations of opinion by promi-
nent members of the Government, all
pointing strongly in the same direction
Some go so far as to say that the moye>
ments Of Col Mckenzie were expressly
eontriVed to bring on a crisis, which
would lead to annexation as a solution of
the difficulty about Indian incursions. 1t
is also stated that there is a good anBeXa-
ton combination on foot, far surpassin g
the San Domingo arrangement, and ems
bracing such leading capitalists and
politicians as Ben Butler, Tom Scott,
Delano. John w Forney, Simon Came
ron, Gen Babcock, and others directly
connected with the President What
progress has been made in negotiating
with the Mexican Government is not
known, but fri ends Of the measure ailege
that the Mexican Government has given
its consent On the other hand, the
Mexican minister here is not regarded as
very favorable to the general idea of an
neXatiOn.

Some people may fancy the postal
cards, they may come into general use,
hut We don't admire them at present,
They are not as convenient for filing as
ordinary paper, and most business letters,
orders, etc, should be preserved. Per-
aonal letters not worth IN envelope had
better be left urwritten. We would not
thank man to send us business letters
on cheap PASTE board unless he was too
POOR to buy envelopes. The English
press has said great deal about ~ an
kee aenuriousness, but wooden nutmegs

where the aristocracy mail their papers
without wrappers, but we do not predict
warm welcome for them in America

There is no dirt contract yet let out
that will bring the P. & VI. Railroad to
Dyersburg, though President Norton has
over 100000 in MS fob realized by the
sale Of first mortgage bonds on the rOId.

Nortoa's attempt to force all bidders fer
the contract 70 take pay in the Dyersburg
bonds. Mr. Norton, open your pocket

SENsIBLE.-Judge Barbour Lewis made
n most sensible and telling speech at the
decoration of Federal graves near Meme
rhis one day last week We are glad of
the opportunity to quote his language,
which goes to show that he is not a roar
ing lion seeking whom he may devour:
Among generous minded men and wo-
men there can be no unkind feeling to-
wards those who are gone to the spirit
land. No, let US honor our opponents
who had the manhood to die fighting for
principles they deemed Just. They, too,
were Americans, and their courage and
devotion for what they believed to be q
sacred cause viii be part Of the great
history Of our common country. Sad in
some respects, it will be bright and
glorious in others. We, who were the
victors in that painful, awful strife,
should be generous to those who for
brief time were our foes, but now and
forever are our cOuntrvmen Show
me the grave OF a man who fell fighting
for what he thought was right, and | will
honor his heroi- IN / will strew his grave
with flowers, whether he fought with me
or against me. You would do the same.
as his honor is to serve US in Congress
we hope he Will prove as considerate to
the dying as to the dead, and administer
all the remedies in his power to alleviate
our suferings, The opportunity is his.

the 18th Of July next, for the purpose Of
forming a league similar to the German
Union for social and benevolent purposes.
Some of the leading Trismen of New
York, Philadelphia, and other cities en-
courage the movement on the ground that
the Irish element in this country has
not the standing politically or CONNER
cially. which their numbers and import
ance entitle them. They say the Ger
mans exceed them in almost every sphere,
and that this is due to their default or
cohension and harmony, and to religious
and political contention. Irishmen. like
the members Of the German Union, will
be pledged to support one another in
preference to persons of other nationals
tics, without distinction of sect or parties.

we avoid alLbrldgeS and the heavy
grading descendingto and ascending
from Augusta. We should appeal
to. the State pride to keep the road
within our own Borders, and, most
important ofsan, we should be pre-

subscripten
Itswi1sbe saidsour people are too
poorsto aid. Too poor with near
$l0,0O0,000 of taxable property in
tile two counties of Edge6eld and
Aiken to- raise 100000 to build a
road which promises such advantages
as this does. -
If we show a disposition to help
ourselves, and cooperate with others
whose interests are allied to ours, we
can succeed. On the other hand, if
we are Indifferent and luSe-warm the
opportunity will pass away.
It is the poor men who need the
road, who will have to build it, for
we cannot expect a few to work and
give large sums for tie general bene-
fl.
Allowing we could get capitalists
from abroad to build the road we
would loose a large portion Of the
advantages, for they would manage
tie road in their. own interests with
out reference to ours. No. our own
people should have controlling in
terest in the stock and elect directors
who would develop the resources of
this section.
The building Of this road would
not only place us in connection with
the Mississippi Valley, but, would
also connect us with the Mountain
section of our own State and Norsh
Carolina, and give us most direct
route to the North by extending the
read to connect with Port Royal Road
near the Runs; it would place lis.
nearer to Savannah and Florida as
we'll as Port Royal. By affording
us competing line, both East ard
West, freights would be materially
reduced. Then let every person
present at this meeting take an active
interest in creating a favorable senti-
ment for this project. Let us after
this meeting adjourns continue to aei-
tate the subject and urge our friends
and neighbors to aid to the full ex-
tent Of their ability.
In determining the amount farmer
should subscribe, let it be borne in

nearly two years. Others might
help by subscribing crossties, materi-
