I see from the newspapers that Wayne

phis and Knox vile Railroad, it is said
this secures the building of the road in
Middle Tenness. se. What say the citi-
zens of Bolivar and of Somerv.ille to
building this roa without delay from
SomerviIIe to 30 hvar. This will give
the people Of Some, vile and of Fayet te
county direct Quite t to st. Louis, Lou
isv;ue and New Orleans. They can
come to Bolivar aud here get on this
road. which will take them both to the
Northern and Souther cities. 1t will
also give them a much more direct road
than thew now have to Nashville. Pas
sengers can leave Sonler Tille in the morn
ing and arrive at Nashvil le at 4.50 p M.
the same day. AS 1t now is, 1t takes a
dav a half to go from Somerville to
Nashville, there is also 'ss OF twelve
hours in going to Louisville and st.
Louis. this road would make SOmerville
independent of that Monopoly, the
Memphis and Charleston road which
now charges the people of Fayette coun-
~ enormous prices. This road to Boil
var would force the Charleston road to
| reduce their charges at least fifty per
cent because Somervilis would then be
a competing point, the opening up of
the trade of Fayelte county would great
| " benefit Bolivar also, and when this
road is extended to and beyond the Ten
nessee river, no one can calculate the
baseft il would be both to SOmervill c
and To Bolivar. If Memphis does not

plaees can torn their trade away from

Is There a Portrait of POoabO ntas /?

There has been among the descend
ants of the Indian princess q considera-
Bile interest respecting a veritaSle por-
trait of her. a gentleman of this city
has for several months been conducting
a correspondence with gentlemen in En-
gland on this subject, and there is reason
to believe that there are several portraits
still extant which are authentic, and that
an original of true copy" may be OBJ
tanned for our gallery of historic Virgil
mans. There is no doubt that portrait
was taken OF PocahOntas when in En-
gland, and it is natural to suppose that
the original, or copy thereof, may be
in possession of the Rolfe family, of
which Poeahontas' husband was cadet
The last advice from England is that
theFs IS still extant q portrait Of the
prineess and her SOM z Sun.

THE BALTIMORE FAILURE.

THE FIRM OF STIRLING, AHRENS IL CO.
WHAT CAUSED THEIR DOWNFALL.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA special dispatch
from Baltimore states that the firm of
Stirling, Ahrens & Co., which suspended
yesterday, has imported, since the LIST :
January, $4,000 hogshesds of sugar and
40 coo hogsheads of molasses, nearly two
thirds as much as their whole trade of 1874
They have been carrying great quantities of
molasS9s at heavy loss ever since the COM
mencement of the year, the market prices
not paying for manufacture. The principal
Baltimore creditors are Alexander Brown &
Sons, bankers, and Bonninger Brothers,
shippers. The Browns are creditors to the
amount of about $500, 000 That firm suspened
the first of January, and it was their re-
fusal to make further loan of $l50, 600 that
precipitated the suspension. Besides their
importitrade, Stirling, Ahrens & Co. have
largely exported -four and provisions to the
West Indies and are consequently in debt
to the flour trade and packers. The
firm own the Chesapeake d Merchants
refineries, lease the Maryland and operate
the Calvert for its owners. All except the
latter they converted into molasses retiner
les and so accumulated the heavy stock that
broke them down. They also own large
barrel factory and nine vessels engaged in
trade with Cuba and Brazil. Their coffee
business has not been great Of late and has
not affected their interests.

ECHOES OF THE CRASH.
IN LONDON.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga London
dispatch says that the president of
the Oriental Bank of London, the
agents for the Bank of California, states that
the failure will in no way affect his institu-
ton. To prevent loss and annoyance, if
possible, the Oriental bank is endeavoring
to arrange by cable with the Bank OF Cali
fornia for guarantee, so that it can honor
the drafts Of travellers when presented.
When the news of the failure of the Bank of
California first reached London, it was
feared by some that the result would be
most disastrous, but as yet il has bad
no effect either on money or values. On
the Stock Exchange, at the opening of bust
ness ia London this morning the general
markets were rather weaker, but there were
no very great changes in American railroad
securities, the market for them being quiet.

RALSTON,s CHARACTER.

AS REVIEWED BY AN OPPONENT AN
EDITORIAL FROM THE BULLETIN.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 2S.-As far as can at
present be learned concerning affairs be-
tween the Central Pacific and the Bank of
California, the bank owes Stanford S4OO,O
advanced some time ago. The Central
Pacific officials are disposed TO
be reticent, but say that the
company had but small amount
on DEPOSIT in the bank. The Bulletin
this evening has the following editorial on
the death of Mr.. Ralston: The community
was more painfully surprised by the an
nouncement of the death of MIR. Ralston
yesterday afternoon, than by the failure of
the Bank OF California, which had just pre-
coded the tragic event. The failure OF that
institution was the elimination of Mr..
Ralston's financial management. He had
been allowed full swing, or SO nearly so
management and probably for long
time past he alone knew its actual
condition. Therefore on Tuesday, after the
late president had made his statement to the
directors of the bank, they promptly took
the further management Of affairs out OF
his hands. MIR. Raiston ceased to live al
most simultaneously with his ceasing to be
president. 1t was an unfortunate ending OF
powerful institution and the tragic end
ing of life. Great as
were the financial abilities OF
Nj. Ralston, when he was advanced to the
head of the bank, nere WAS the inception OF
that failure which eliminated yesterday.
Mr.. Raiston had the dash. nerve and quick
impulses which belong to that class of men
who make brilliant speculations, and are as
often overtaken by disastrous effects
He had bold, strong will
which, while it bordered on
recklessness, was taken for financial
genius. He was at the same time man OF
great reach and enterprise, so that the man.
ager1ent of great banking institution, in
| stead of being made an exclusive busin ess,
was only an item in the multiplicity Of his
affairs. Mr.. Ralston engaged largely and
lost heavily from time to time in outside
speculations. He was
