Cox. on the subject OF Railroad
Freights, and eur comments thereon,
Ikst week, we have had a lengthy
eenyersadon or two upon the SUBJ
Ject with certain prominent East
Tennessee Ruilroad men. Spend
ing three days OF the last week
away from our Office duties, we have
not the time or space this week to
i say what we wish to say in addition
on this subject. We will sax- how
ever, that we do not intend TO do
wrong TO any Railroad Company. We
viii do Justice, il we know how, to
all parties We-are stilB og opinion
that the freigh5 charges on East
Tennessee products, between the
points CT production and the mark
cts TO which they are sent, are far
1itOo high, and although they may
have been lessened materially since
the consolidation, they yet ought at
faPee to be greatly reduced. We
2 propose to give the subject further
impartial investigation and ventilIa-
tion--perhaps in our next.

A furrow orstwo on each side of the

for slightly eleyating the centre, to
turn the water into the bitches on

increased IN wealth, gravel would be
carted on TO the road, wet places
drained and bridges improved. But
in Tennessee those settlements were
commenced some eighty years ago,
the inhabitants have necer begun to
nuke public roads. The highways
were fenced off from the natural soil,
and the art and labor of the road
master limited, to rendering passable
the few spots that were naturally
impossible. The use of such high
waya form channels for water in the
