A'special term ofthe Chancery Court
was held at Elizabethton, Friday and
Saturday, 10th and llth inst. No impor-
tant business was transacted except the
action in regard to the f. T. & W. N. G,
Railroad. This important suit has at last
been finally adjusted. The road has
gone into the hands Of Messrs. Pardee
& Co., who have bound themselves to
build it in Two years to Doe River Cove.
1t Is understood that they will commence
operations in the Spring. They have
paid $4,000, 90 to the parties owning the
Road. This is $4,000 more than the
twelve apostles paid to the State for it,
and serves as a bone over which to COM
tend. Had il not been for the conten>
tiou Of one Of these gentlemen, the road
might have been completed. But now
we think the people may rest assured that
