How True

In Maj. Sykes letter, which we published
several weeks ago, occurs the following SEN
tenee, the truth and force of which is known
to all who have been engaged in building rail
roads in the South since the war and even be-
fore that time. He says: at takes time, pa
thence, hard labor and almost obstinate per-
sistence to build railroads in a country so
destitute of means as our Southern country, is,
and especially in our State, where there is no
State aid and where it requires three-fodrths
majority, as it does in most of our counties, to
carry county subscription"
And yet there are men who, if road is not
completed and in running order IN a few
months, begin to say lit never will be done, .
aud they are often the men who have done
the least towards carrying forward the enter
prise. In regard to our Duck River Valley
Railroad, there are many who complain that
it is not under contract, forgetting the condi>
ton OF financial affairs and not remembering
how small have been the subscriptions and
now relucts Mt some counties pay what they
have subscribed. We feel satisfied il viii soon
be under contract

Deserved Compliments.

A correspondent of the Memphis Register,
writing from Hickman county some weeks
since, thus alludes to some of the distinguish
ed persons in that county and pays them
compliments no greater than they deserve:
Among the distinguished citizens OF this
county is Maj Boiling Gordon who, although
more than seventy years of age, is an active
90 ahead man. He has been a member of two
Constitutional conventions and was elected to q
third, which was never held, and if there
should be a convention held within the next
two or three years, he would probably be
again member. His house is the abode of
elegant hospi'ality, presided over as it is by
his accomplished wife, who is one of the most
interesting and intelligent ladies in Tennessee,
and one of the sweetest singers and finest mu-
sicians in the State lives in CenterVille, the
fascinating wife ofthat estimable gentleman,
the Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court,
and the daughter of one of the most worthy
and popular men that ever lived in Hick-
man county, who was often a member of the
Legislature, sometimes in the Senate and
so netimesin the House of Representatives"

lady living on Bear creek went to sit up
with suffering neighbor about the first of this
month, found other company there, and as
people usually have stimulants at such times,
and she seeing the coffee-po was not heated,
m sTely asked a gentleman who happened to
be present to give her box IF snuff, which in
suited her husband so grossly that he immedi-
ately applied to the honorable Chancellor at
Columbia, for a divorce, which was granted on
the 10th, and on the 18th, he married lady
who owned three likely ablebodied negroes an
was living at Judge Hughes. Our Moses be-
ing SO much opposed to the filthy habit of using
snuff Immediately determined TO seek better
country, moved and settled ON Brush creek,
between Chappell Hill and PhilippI, where, be.
ing surrounded with ministers his family will
not dare to walk niforbiddeu paths. Now Mr..
Editor should not the ladies OF Knob creek

LINES TO MISS vi

Thou art as fair as the flower
An exotic from other climes,
The queen of all the bowers,
Where the sun perennial shines.
And thy voice in song is as sweet,
As the nightmgale's softest strain,
That woos back wandering mate
To its forest home again.
Thine eyes are ike the azure hues,
Such soft blue orbs are they,
Through which thy gentle soul doth muse
And charm all our cares away.
And the white wonder of thy brow,
With bushes tinged like crimson tests
And glowing cheeks and red ripe lips,
On which all sweetness seems to rest.
Thy soul too, is as pure as the snow,
Just born Of its native heavens,
Ere it reaches the tsiuts below,
When to the earth it is driven.
Brighter the sphere on which we dwell,
ThsthIgh born spirits like thine,
With music's holy magic spell,
Reveal TO US a love divine.
The shades of woe upon the earth,
Thine ministry ever dispels,
Around Affections humble hearth,
Or where the great and mighty dwell.
Then most pure and emile spirit.
Be to Us an angel given,
To show the strait and narrow way,
And point our prayers to Heaven

on many OF them, and embarrassed our
selves in doing SO; and now that they
have sold their cotton, or some of it at

The Epfscopal Coueert.

The Episcopal concert last Wednes-
day night was brilliant success, so far
as the music was concerned. We are
sorry that the unpropitious state of the
weather prevented large attendance.
The leading features of the entertain-
ment, not noticed in cur last, were a
tenor solo and quartette, by joe Dew,
Joe Herndon, Miss Mary Barnett and
Miss Mamie Baird. The piece was adj
mirably rendered. Miss Rosa Barnett
sang Casta Diva, from the Opera La
Norma, perfectly. The enraptured au-
dience encored her loudly when she
had finished. She returned again to the
stage and sang ""Twas liz a mile of Ed
inborough Town." in happy style.
She sang Casta Diva at Memphis last
winter, and received the most extrava
CANT, but merited, enconiums of the
press. A duett, the Alpine Horn, on
the harp and horn, by Mrs. Mckinney
and Frank Smith, was highly appreci-
ated. The miller, his wife and three
sons, was highly humorous, and
drought down the house," The Quak-
er Courtship, by Geo. Martin and Miss
Carrie WaIker-one of the prettiest and
brightest girls in town-was excellent.
