We see 1t stated that the Southern Pacific
company has Withdrawn for the presen from
the fight before congress. The officers say
chat for four years they have been endeavor-
ing to secure the cooperation Of the south
in the attempt to build southern road in its
interests, and that having failed in this they
do not propose to continue the struggle. This
IS to be regretted. The construction of this
important enterprise was the great need Of
the south, It would have given employment
to much idle labor, and new lille to all that
section oil the Union devastated and paralyz
by the war. The refusal of the north to aid
this great enterprise, after so many extrava-
giant appropriations have been given to SINH
lar roads Ia the north, was great injustice
TO the south. But cur people are much to
blame themselves for the failure to secure aid
to the Southern Pacific road. Tney were
divided among themselves. They cou not
agree as to the eastern terminus of the rosd.
There were many antagonistic organizations
clamcring for different routes Had the
south been unitCd, and presented a solid front
in demanding a southern Pacific road, the
result would have been different. When the
south again appears before congress
and demands that aid to this great
enterprise to which she is Justly entitled,
she must command the united support of the
people and cur representatives in congress.
Without this, nothing can be accomplished.
But for the personal popularity OF Governor
John G. Brown, Of this State, the hope of
securing an appropriation to the Southern
Pacific road would have been abandoned long
since. But the great energy aad unbounded
popularity of Governor Brown kept the pro
iect alive for the past two years. Visitors
from the south to Washington uuiFe in the
opinion that no man in the Union stands
higher at the capitol of the nation than the
late executive of this State. Governor
Brown may be regarded as one Of the for
most men of the south. Tennessee is now
honored with member of the

SILVER HINES IN ARKANSAS AND
ETESEOTRs

From time to time attention is excited by
accounts Of the discovery of veins Of silver
Ia Arkansas and the southeastern. parts Of
Missouri. The st. Louis Republican states
ihat within the boundaries of that State in
creased discoveries have been made during
TIE last twelve months. These statements
have been little regarded as previous discov-
cries had usually resulted IN little more than
"a mingiing of small amounts of silver with
lead and other metals. OF late the newspa-
pers Of southwest Missouri assert vigorously
that in Iron, Madison and Wayne counties,
the yield OF silver is of more value than that
of the other metals. Only a week ago the
lronton Journal had the following: "Ten
miles a little south of cast of Ironton is the
great Silver mountain mine Exactly the
same distance a little south of west is the
Lott mine, very promising, but now idle for
want Of capital to work it. The same dis
lance a little north Of west are several fine |
as yet unopened, for the same |
reason. Then south, at Dzs Arc, is the old |
Emerson mine, and little further east, |

ANOrHKH sTAs a. MEnPHIs.

The persistency with which attempts are
made to alarm persons at distance about
the sanitary condition Of Memphis, and the
existence of yellow-fever here, after ne very
exceptional cold weather We have had, has
the appearance of being prompted by some
selfish or malignant motive. Our board Of
health has records which any polite inquirer
can see; the mortuary reports are published
weekly, and Memphis has never been back
ward to recommend care to its own citizens
and to warn strangers to stay away when
there was risk IN entering the city. Yet,
with all this, persons protesting to write from
Memphis tell the most dismal and improbable
stories, apparently with the object of iujuriuR
trade here, for the benefit Of those who get
what Memphis temporarily loses in her shines
of distress. Before US is a copy Of "corre-
spondence of the Louisville EUening Post.
Memphis, February q, 1872 in which the
writer, altogether neglecting to mention the
active cleaning up that has been carried on
by the board OF health, assures his readers
that "taere are people here now, sick in bed,
with an infrmity showing all of the promi-
nent symptoms of yeliow-tever, and physi-
clans say that if it was the proper season
they would unhesitatingly pronounce it
SUCH" To make sure of this being accepted
for gospel, the writer backs it up with an
account Of a death near DeSoto street on the
fourth of December-three months ago. He
states that the population of the city are
generally preparing 10 leave, and there are
not a dozen retail merchants in tie city in
any branch of trade, that are not conducting
their business with strict reference to an
early suspension of business Such repre-
sensations rs these have caused hundreds OF
people to come here for a chance Of doing
something, who have expressed their sur
prise to see everybody looking well, the
streets crowded, and business bouyant, and
they had to return disappointed. The fact Is
that Memphis is never as safe from fever as
the year succeeding fever. Those whose con-
ditlon subjected them to It's ravages are
gone, and the general liability to it is re-
duced to its lowest point. Misfortune has
left its mark in the hearts of our citizens, who
are yet mourning their dear ones, and TO
have such Misrepresentation as these we
speak of added az irritants, is, under the |
a cruelty and wrong that it |
is not easy to bear with patience.

it observes that, Sd far as cotton is con-
cerned, the price Is kept down by the
raournful condition Of business IN Europe,
and the consequent Idle splndles in Man
chester. la other branches Of commerce,
also. the aimc universal depression on the
other side Of the Atlantic delays the process
Of recuperati0n on this. But If the process
is retarded, it Is not auuihiiAted; on the con-
trary, the last few months have shown that
progress ia very marked, although the un-
certainty as to what changes congress might
introduce has been against 1t. The railroad
interest demonstrates the increase Of bust
ness by its increase Of freight and passen-
gers, and 10y the increasing inquiry for rail-
road securities recently considered dead. In
New York State alone there Is an increase in
railroad interest and dividends distributed Of
two and a quarter million dollars, and rail-
road business can increase only in conse-
1ueuce Of Increase in other businesses. 1t is
to be remembered that the outstanding cur
rency Of the country to-day is more than
three times as large, in relation 10 the sum
OF values to Be handled with f., 70 Was FIVE
years ago. This cireumst-ac' assur-
ance that, from the superaluo3- money,
values will shortly begia 10 Sc, and
with increasing values viii com crease Of
business, a greater capacity Of consumption,
and a stimulation Of tr fl, ert-rprise and
production. The New Or's oicaysne
speaks very confidently OF o. state Of
things that exists, and ssys: volume
Of business Is well up to the figures of Feb
uary, as indicated by the report of the
clearinghouse association. The February
cIsarinqs were indicative of larger business
than III 1873, and from the suspicious open
ing of this month there is reason to believe
that the spring and summer trade will be
very large should nothing intervene to stag
nate commerce. The commercial outlook
was never better, and, aside from sanitary
considerations, there is nothing discouraging
in the future
