Mr.. WoJdridge's Lecture.


We mentioned last week the fact that
Lieut.. Jno. Il, Woodbridge would deliver
a lecture at Antoinette Hall next Tues
day night upon "Light and the Human
Eye" We mentioned also something
as to the character of the lecture, a re-
iteration of which we do not think nee
essary, but simply to remind our people
of the time. No people are more char
liable than ours, and none who enter
tain higher regard for or appreciation
of merit in any form. Mr.. Woodbridge
asks not your charity, but that yOu pat
ronize and sustain him in his efforts to
make livelihood. We all know him
and the circumstances that surround
him, and if we do not at least give him
such an attendance as we give travelling
foreign entertainments, we will deserve
the opprobrious imputation of ingrati-
tude, and be devoid of principle that
should animate every Southern heart.
These remarks are useless, however, for
certainly ali viii go to hear the Blind
Lecturer next Tuesday night.

Tbe lSoad to KnoxyilIe.

We have received pamphlet copy OF
san address of the president and direc-
tors Of Memphis and Knoxville eOTnpa-
ny to the people of Memphis and of
Shelby county," an extract from which
we publish elsewhere. This address is
full of striking facts, showing the i'm
pOrtance of dis road to (he prosperity
Of Memphis. It gives the statistics in
regard 10 the wealth of the counties be-
tween this city and the Nashville and
Decatur road. The county of Shelby is
not included in the estimate. The val
ne of taxable property in these counties
is tIirty-seVen millions six hundred and
sixteen thousand four hundred and for
ty-nine dollars, and the amount of farm
productions in 1870 was sixteen mil
lions three hundred and forty-One
thousand two hundred and three dol
lars. More than one third of all the
cotton raised in Tennessee was in the
counties on the line of this road, and
between Memphis and Columbia and
Pulaski. The distance from Memphis
to Columbia is two hundred miles, and
from Memphis to Pulaski is one hun
dred and ninety miles. Columbia is
twenty~eight miles nearer to Memphis
than Louisville, and Pulaski is seventy
miles nearer. This gives Memphis the
advantage in all that rich region. This
road, says the address, combines all the
advantages of other proposed roads,
and possesses some peculiar to itself. 1t
viii not only bring cotton, corn, pork
and beef cattle, but it will open to Mem
phis the great iron region Of Tennessee.
Iron can be brought over this road TO
Memphis at a cost of two dollars per
ton, and can be made there cheaper
than charcoal iron can be made any
where in the United States. 1t now
costs four dollars per ton to transport
this iron to the Tennessee river by
wagons. The limestone, cedar timber,
hydraulic cement, marble and iron
would supply this road with constant
employment. 1t passes through two
of the best watered counties in the
State-Wayne and which
have water-Dower enough to manufac-
ture all the cotton raised in Tennessee,
but which is now almost useless.
Memphis could control a large portion
of the trade of southwest Tennessee if
this road were built. We learn that it
only requires a subscription of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars 10 bring
this road to Memphis. Hardeman and
Fayette counties are already TO furnish
the means to build it through their re-
spective counties. What viii Shelby
do? Shall the road stop at Bolivar or
Somcryiile, or shall it come to Mem
phis? We hope the address may be
generally read, and its Important truths
laid to heart.-AempbiS appeal.

A Nnrrn,v Escnnn-

On Saturday evening last two negro
boys named respectively Tobe Jones
and Tom Richardson were swimming
in Richland Just below the Dishoghn
mill. They had crossed the creek and
were returning, when, about midway
the stream, Toms who was not an ex-
pert in the art, found himself unable to
stem the swift current between him
and the shore, gave up and called for
help. Tobe~ who had reached the
shore, went Immediately 70 the receue,
but Tom, who was By this time in q
drowning condition and had lost his
presence ei ptnd, seized Tobe about
tho waist and So confined his arms as 70
rendes lin helplelis In this condition
they would have drowned but for the
timely assistance Fepdered chem by our
friend Danl B. Garrett. who happened
70 be passing. lie brought them ashore
more dead than alive.

The Cholera.

Up to yesterday there has not been a
single case of anything like cholera in
Pulaski. Several have been pretty Sc
riously frightened about it, but the ply
sieians say there has net been the least
symptom of it in any case they have
seen. Some of our citizens who have
passed through several seasons of choI-
era say that there is not the least sign
of its appearance in the condition OF the
atmosphere or weather. The disease is
abating in Nashville, and the probable
ity IS that it win not reach Pulaski, bet
preventlves should be used nevertheless
to make this result more certain. A
lack of vigilance frequently occasions
disasters, and every effort should be ex-
erted by our authorities and people to
prevent the appearance of the dire dis
ease in our midst. If we take the re-
ports of our UndertaNers as a criterion,
Pulaski and vicinity was never more
healthy than now.

Bunker HfIl.

Mr.. EDITOR As you have published
communications from Bunker Hill in
time past, I suppose you would like to
hear from her again. Business is rath-
er dull. Crops, though backward, look
pretty well; cotton very good. The
wheat crop is very good, though we
don't believe there is half the crop this
year that there was last. Oats look
very well, gardens are good, and Irish
potatoes are splendid. There was a rat
tlesnake killed on the farm Of w. NJ.
Stevenson, three miles southwest of
this place, last week, that measured five
feet in length. It had eight lattles.
Magistrates court convened in this city
last Friday took in about fifty dollars.
The corporation is getting rich enough
to erect another horseraek. Hooks
wants to know why a pot leg burns in
to ia the middle. The young folks Of
this city arc trying to break dogs of
barking by throwing rocks at 'em.

Larceny, Arson and Murder.
The house Of Jim McEwen, col, who
lives upon the place of Esq. Jesse Fry,
near LynnYille. was burned last SUN
day night between z and 8 O'Clock,
while he and his wife were absent at
church, burning to death two of his
children, aged about eight and ten years,
who were locked up and asleep upstairs.
A negro namsd General Griggsby, aged
about 10 years, was arrested in Maury
county by some negroes Monday and
brought to Lynnville aud turned over
to Constable John Hindman-of the 18th
district, charged with having commit
ted tho crime, was tried before Esq. J.
w. McLaurine and committed without
bail, Mr.. Hindman arriving here with
him Tuesday morning. Griggsby was
identified by the popularity of his track
and his guilt further established from
threats previously made by him and
from clothes in his possession identified
by McEwen. It appears that he first
robbed the house and then set fire to it,
attempting thus to obliterate all eviden-
ees Of robbery. His crime is the most
hideous we have ever recorded or known
and the law viii certainly visit upon
him its Jlirest vengeance.

RY ALEXANDER, only child of Benz. j.
and Dru j. Orgain, aged / year 3
months and 10 days.
How many fond hopes are blighted
by the early death of this dear child
Her unusual loneliness, her great fond
ness for all that is pure and beautiful,
joyous music, warbling birds and blush
ing flowers, her happy and loving
disposition had made her indeed a ''bud
of promise" to her parents, but vain
were all human efforts to save, for
'sThe angels were crowding. her coming to see
And sweet lips were calling the dear child
away"
The flowers she loved to gather in her
tiny hands now bloom above her little
grave and the dear ''birdies' sing sweet
ly yet, but she hears them not. Home
is sad, and hearts are sadder that long
to hear the patter eff little feet that
walk the golden shore, the music of a
little tongue that sings the angels song.

dear little lamb.
He gave, he took, He Will restore;
He dOcth all things Wel.''

Before making your arrangements to
follow the advice of the thousands who
have already gOne,' it would be well to
consider what has been done to make
the journey to your "HOme in the
Vest as pleasant and as free from dan
ger as human skill and foresight can
accomplish.
By consolidation and construction a
road has been put into operation on the
shortest possible line from Nashville to
st. Louis, "the future great City of the
world. This line, the
ST. LOUIS AND SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAY,
has, during the past year, earned an en-
Viable reputation by its smooth track,
prompt time, sure connections, and the
magnificence of its passenger equip
ment. Its trains are made up of new
and cOmmOdious day cars, provided
with the celebrated Miller coupler and
platform, and the Westinghouse air
brake.
II is pOSitiURIy the only line running

Numbering that the
