The First Narrow-GauEe.

The gentlemen selected by COM
mon consent to build the narrow
gauge road from Jackson TO Bolivar
by way of SOmerville partial list
of whomwe gave yesterday morning
will make no effort or do nothing,
until an answer is returned from
New York as to whether the bonds
can be negotiated. If the bonds
cannot be negotiated, the matter
will end; and the people will not be
harrassed by parties asking for sub
scriptiOns. But if a favorable an
swer is returned, we are given to
understand that matters will be
made to move at quick time. The
new road will keep as nearly on the
middle ground between the NJ en-
phis and Charleston and Memphis
and Louisville roads as practicable,
passing into Fayette near Fisher
vile, and on through the richest ter
ritory. Parties acquainted with the
county tell US that no line could be
projected in the State which will,
in the same number of miles, pass in
sight of as many houses, and through
as much rich and well-cultiVated
land. CHANGING at our county map
we see hundreds of farms and houses
near the line in Shelby county, and
the same is the case in Fayette, Har-
deman and Madison For our part
we believe that the financial part of
the scheme IS well grounded. and
will meet with success in New York,
IN which event we have made a be-
ginning, which viii end in placing
memphis IN the front rank of pros
perity.-APpeaL

IL Until the last few days the
Cholera in Nashville was confine d
to the Wilson spring branch and the
lick branch, two low, fat unhe althy
localities, but now the disease seems
to be in all parts of the city; and
the deaths which were at first con-
fined almost entirely to the colored
population, is now taking whites
and blacks promiscously, and in
nearly equal proportion.

How to stop demonstrating.

We beg leave to suggest to the
owners Of horses in this county that
they have a meeting at the Court
House, in Jackson, on the first Mon
day in July, and organize q society
to prevent demonstrating. We re-
member hearing our old friend, Pc
ter Transou, Esq, NOV deceased,
say that about fifty years ago a soci-
ETY. was formed in a county, in North
Carolina, that effectually put a stop
to DEMONSTRATING in that county
Each member Of the society paid an
annual fee of one dollar-s Presi-
dent, Secretary and Treasurer were
elected, to hold their offices for
twelve months. When any one of
the members of the society lost a
horse, all he had to do was to give
information to the officers, when
ten pursuers were started, in COM
panies of two, with instructions to
20 for three days, and if they did
not get on the track of the thief
then return. The result was, that
in nearly every case the rouge was
caught and the property recovered.
In few years horse-thieves ceased
to visit that county. 1t is frequent
ly the case that poor farmer has
but one horse, and that is stolen
from him, and he is unable to pursue
the thief. By the formation of So
ciety of this kind we will guarantee
that not a member would lose q
horse, and the county would soon
cease to be visited by rogues. 1t is
perfectly practicable and easy to be
carried out. Where is the farmer,
and all owners Of horses, who would
not willingly pay one dollar a year
for this protection. We merely
throw out the suggestion, with the
hope that those who are interested
in horse property will act upon it.

A mail clerk named William N.
Smith was yesterday before United
States Commissioners Garrett for
stealing money-letters on his postal
route between Jackson, Mississippi,
and Humboldt, Tennessee. Smith
admitted his guilt and is now in
Jail. Only few months ago he
married a beautiful young lady
Miss Robinson, at Huntsville, Ala
hama.
There is evidently some mistake
in the above paragraph, which we
clip from the Appeal. Mr.. Shelton
Smith, of this place, is the only
Smith that we know Of on the road
who married a Miss Robinson, al
Huntsville, Ala, and he is not the
man who was arrested. The SmitI
who was arrested is, we learn, from
Meridian, Miss, and we do MOI
learn whether he is married OF
single.

Farmers, WAS. Conrentlon.

A Convention of the farmers of
West Tennessee is called to meet at
Humboldt on Wednesday, July I'd,
at ten O'Clock, A. NJ, for the discus
sion of those questions which are
now agitating the entire farming
population of the country, and for
consultation in reference to the spe-
cial farming and planting interests
of West Tennessee.
There are abundant reasons for
asking a general attendance. Our
district is realizing but u small pro-
portion of the prosperity which it's
great natural resources will warrant.
The labor system is unsatisfactory,
and in this as other matters there is
great need for cooperative action
on the part of the farmers.
Let every society now organized
within West Tennessee send dele
gates, and every civil district have
representative present. An efIi-
cient committee has been appointed
and will attend to the local arrange
ments. Reductions from the regu-
lar hotel rates and railroad fares
will be obtained.
Gen. A. j. Vaughn also gives no
tice that the State Grange of the

ganized at the same time and place.
