From an Occasional Correspondent
FAYETTEVILLE, June IS, lS75.-This
IS the county site Of one of the best cOun-
ties in Middle Tennessee, and county
which now is very anxious to get direct
railroad connection with Memphis. II
the Memphis and Knoxville could be
built IS far from Memphis as Heuder-
SOL, on the Mobile and Ohio road, dis
lance Of eighty-siX miles, there would
be no difficulty in extending il to this
place. They, however, at present, have
more hope OF getting the road from
Columbia, which is graded TO Lewis
burg. in Marshall county, a distance OF
twenty-five miles, ana which will, in
all probability, be ironed and equipped
this year. If the counties on the various
lines had many such men as Colonel D.
w. Holman, Of this place, all the roads
would soon be completed. have never
seen 8 more enlightened, public-spirited
man than he is. Your citizens all re-
member him rs the able president of the
Memphis and Knoxville railroad con-
ventiOn which met in your city last
tee, is president OF the Lin
coin savings bank, and is
largely Interested in the Newcastle coal
has what is considered, and perhaps cor
rectly, the best test OF merit, individual
success; but he is unlike many men
that are successful, being at the same
time remarkably liberal and public
spirited. Out OF the one thousand three
hundred dollars paid for the survey of
the Memphis and Knoxville road iD his
county, lac paid himself two hundred
dollars. II One-half Of the property
holders in Memphis would pay One-helf
for the building of the road that he did
merely for the survey OF the route III
Lincoln county, 1t would be built within
a wear. He Is the best illustration that
| have ever seen Of the Divine proverb:
1.-THE liberal soul shall be made fat, and
he that wateTeth shall be- watered
again. Our old friend, J. B bam0,
who made so good q representative Of
Fayette, Shelby, aud Upton in former
DAYS, and who was deservedly popular
ia Memphis in the days of King, Searcy,
Stanton, YeygeT, Sale, Coe, Dunlap, and
others, is here practicing law with all the
vigor and ability OF his Memphis days.
Can you not get him back to Memphis?
Ii vii not do to lose such men perma-
nently. The crop prospects here, as
in all other parts OF the State,
are very fine. 1t is estimated that Lin
coin county will have this year five
hundred thousand bushels Of wheat,
which is now selling here at ninety
cents per bushel. They are threshing
out their wheat here very rapidly. They
are using some steam-threshers, and
others that require ten horses to work
them. There are some, however, that
require only two or four horses. The
corn crop is as promising as the wheat
crop wag, and this is one Of the great
corn counties OF the State, and is also
celebrated for its fine whisky. The peo-
pie OF Lincoln, although very fine whiS'
Ky is made ia this county, are as sober
and temperate as are the people OF any
county in the State. They have just
completed a Lew and beautiful court
UOuse, which cost thirty thousand dol
lars. 1t is an ornament to the town.
Hon. John NJ. Bright lives within two
miles OF this place. He has Teputa-
ton which is national, and well does be
deserve it. They have but one hotel
here, which is kept, and well kept, by
DR.. 5affOli. Let all who so to Fayette.
vile feel assured that they will he well
entertained at the Safiold house. Hon.
Geo. w. jones' is now on visit to his
friends in North Carolina. Fayetteville
has long been celebrated for its great lie"
gal talent. This was the home OF Full
Ton and Ross, aud the present bar re-
tains the reputation Of the former bsr,
Passengers leaving Memphis on the
i've O'clock ievening) train on the
Louisville road can reach here the next
day at half-psst three O'Clock (eVening),
q little less than twenty-fOur hours.
Persons leaving here at half-past six in
the morning can make Memphis, by
going by Nashville and M'keuZie, the
next morning at iOrty-tive minutes past
eight. The present schedule on the
Memphis and Louisville, and ca the
Nashville, Northwestern and Cb8tta-
noOga roads, is very convenient 10 per-
SONS coming TO Nashville and 10 the
various watering places in Middle Ten
nessee, among the most famous OF
which are tie Bon Aqua springs, in
Hickman; the Kingston, in Chesthami
the Hurricane, in Franklin, and the
Beersheba, in Grundy counties. They
have 8 railroad that runs from this
Mace TO DecheTd once a day, and there
connects with the Nashville and Chat
taunoga, and returns the same day.
They nave wooden factory here that
runs Sve hundred spindles, thirteen
looms, and makes four thousand yards
Of cloth per month. They employ
twenty-five hands, and have capital
OF thirty-fye thousand dollars. They
make the very finest blankets, fannels,
csssimeres, linseys, jeans, and shswls,
ali Of wool except the jeans and llns6ys.
/ know whereof / write when | say
this. They have no shOddy and no cot
ton In their articles protesting to be Of
wool. Such things as these should
command the market, not only because
made at home but because they are
better, and when We consider their quail
ity 50 much cheaper. How can We eX-
pect manufactures to be erected unless
we encourage them by buying articles
