From an Occasional Correspondent
HUNTsvfLLE, June 3, lS74.-I send
yOu speech Of Horace NJ. Polk, of
Bolivar, at the railroad convention. j
think II is a good speech, and praises
Memphis q great deal and deservedly.
They will build the Memphis and Knox
VILE road. ! hope We viii make some
thing in agricultural products from 1t, as
that would tighten the taxes more than
the operating OF small-fry politicians.
A country that is well cultivated is able
10 pay more taxes with less inconve-
nience than one which is badly culti-
waited. This is The reason WY Indiana,
Illinois, kentucky and Missouri can
pay so much more taxes than Tennessee
does with less complaint. Let there be
as great an effort 10 arouse the people TO
3 sense Of the danger of bad cultivation
as there is TO create opposition to taxa
ton, and the good effects will be felt.
Alabama pays more tax than Tennessee,
and is also worse cultivated, and as \
consequence she suffers. The prosperity
OF the agricultural classes is the source
OF general prosperity, and to secure this
nothing is more needed than an inn
prOvement in our agriculture. Let the
grauCers direct their attention to this,
and they will do great good.

New ORLEANS, June A Galveston
NetUs special from Brownsville, June 4th,
says the chief Of police has found Joseph
De Lavio, alias James Shane, alias
American Joe, alias e. l.. Chine, who is
supposed to the leader Of the Penseal
muTderers. De Lsvio was q sergeant in
an Iowa regiment during the war, but
later belonged TO the tenth infantry,

eighth of May, with an escort of Mexi-
can cavalry to Overtake and arrest
Hamilton, the Jersey City detaulter.

ing Hamilton's trail, which they struck
at San Fernando. At San Luis Potosi,
they were only twelve hours behind
Hamilton, but were informed by the
district judge that If they attempted to
arrest Hamilton without approval of
the warrant by the government Of the
State, they would be arrested them
selves. This warrant, he stated, must
explain Hamilton's crime, and Governor
Canales, OF Tamaulipas, should make

agreed that II the officers would pay GER
tain amounts, he would have Hamilton
arrested. They could not comply, and
therefore returned. 1t is said that

That NHpEIaI FIpEteF,

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Journal Of Com
merce states that the father Of Mr..
Sartoris, Conservative, and one OF
the best known members of the Carl
ton Club, is a prominent merchant,
and does a large East India business.
His uncle, Mr.. Samunda, M. P, also
of the HHgenpt refugees, is known
as the largest shipbuifder on the
Thames, and an authority in the ma
Wy debates in Parliament. 1t is not
generally known that Queen Vieto-
ria, as soon as she heard of the pro-
posed marriage, made inquiries re-
garding Mr.. Sartoris and wrote alet.
ter to the President, in which she
confdentially endorsed him. This
letter probably arose from the sin
cere personal attachment which the
Queen felt towards Miss Grant, and
the esteem she felt for the President
of the repulic of his official capaci-
ty. 1t is limited by those cognizant
of the situation, that the royal heart
will be moved to some special mark
of appreciation in connection with
this marriage. 1t is believed among
Englishmen who know, or affect to
know, a little about the court, that
the Queen will invite the couple to
visit Windsor Castle, and confer
some title of nobility upon the bride
groom. There is a confident belief
that President Grant will visit Europe
after his Presidential term; and the
idea OF rendering him the freedom
of the city IN such event Is already
favorably talked over in the London
clubs. As to temporalities, Mr.. Sar-
toris succeeds to more money than
be can easily spend. The BRIDES
father is estimated to own half 3
million dollars worth of property.
To sum it all up the agreeable an
nouncement may be truthfully made
that the bride has a good husband,
Mr.. Sartoris has a good wife, and the
union assumes-at least in Wash
ingtonian eyes, the significance of
national affair which cannot fail to
cement more strongly the bonds of
friendship that now exists between
Great Britain and the United States.
Mr.. and Mys, SartoFis will probably
be residents of Europe for 3 year or
SO, and then become permanent resi-
dents of this country

Unaerground LONDON.


Underground, the city of London
is certainly the most wonderful IN
the world. 1t is labyrinth of drain
pipes, gas pipes, water pipes and un-
derground railways. There are points
in the soil of London where it would
be extremely dicfiult to find room
for another pipe. One company
alone-the Gas Light q Coke CO.
supplies two districts with nearly
400 miles of pipe, varying in diane
ter from three inches to four feet.
These are the main pipes merely aIiG
from them every. house and street
lamp reeeiees an All syEfage si* nT
eight feet of small piping. In addl-
ton to these and the underground
telegraph wires, there are no less
than 2,50o miles of drain pipes of
various dimensions. Less familiar
to us, but no less important, are the
lead and iron tubes-leaden pipes
with outer castings of iron-along
which WFitten MESSAGES, packed in
felt aud ggtta peFcha cases, are
blown from station to station. The
convenience of these messages is
Immense. A steam engine forces IN
blast of air, and in about minute
il travels the distance of $50 yards.
There are at present IS stations on
the underground railway, and as the
prople walk upon the streets Of Lon
don, electricity Is flashing messages
above their heads, aud little missives
are Yhizzing and darting just unde..
their feet. AS many as 4,5l9 mes:
ages pass to and fro fn aday. The
drainage system OF London presents
a system of underground streets,
some 1000 OF 5000 miles in extent.
All the drains empty into three great
sewers, which connect IN the neigh.
borhood of. Victoria Park, and
through Barking Greek discharge in
to the river. Men are constantly en-
ployed keeping these drains in re.
pair. Londoners never pour pail
qf gateF dewH 4 drain but at the
depths Of that mysterious spaFtFre
somebody is making way for It: a
stranger, properly 6astlmed, can ex-
plore these depths, which resemble
vaulted galleries, in the sides of
which are traps forming various
small channels. When the storm
waters e9me-as they sometimes dc
during a thnnder stSrm-the torFent
is fearful4so much SO, that on sever,
al occasions men have lost theiI
| lives
