The Cincinnati Southern railroad
is now finished to Boyce Station,
about six miles from Chattanooga
This gives Cincinnati a great outlet
to the South, and probably her near
est to the seaboard. This is an
event in the history of that city. 1t
opens to her the trade of large ex-
tent of country, if she will just man
age things right. But if her leading
journals, like the Gazette, persist in
heaping opprobrium upon that pco-
pie, charging them with all kinds of
hcathcnish crimes, which they know
to be false, sclf-respect will certainly
lead them to send their trade else

Our Republican exchanges take up
instances, of some one having been
killed in the Southern States, and
with a flourish of satisfaction, in the
fact that they have made out a case,
say, this shows that human life is
in great jeopardy in the South. Well
this is true, So the murder of Mrs.
Hall and Mrs. Greenfield in N. Y.
proves the same thing and of that
Methodist minister in Washington
Co, Indiana, and of poor Harry
Baldwin in Cincinnati. All these
things teach us "Nlan's inhumanity
to man" Which is painfully true
in all sections of our country.
