much earlier, and the weather makes il
decidedly more dangerous than then. The
only advantage we have is that we have
learned much in 1878 to profit by now.
Memphis is already practically depopulated.
The government Is promptly supplying
tents, medicines and provisions The re-
ports received by the National Board OF
Health here are of the most painful char
acter. 1t IS evident that the North and
West must repeat their noble work Of last
year. They cannot organize for it too soon,
and it is necessary to take extraordinary
precautions against the fevers spread.

DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE
BLUE RIDGE.
Completion of the Great Tunnel
Through SWannanOa Noun
tain,
AsheYine On. CT Citizen, March 20.

AsheYine On. CT Citizen, March 20.
There has been rejoicing in the
West over daylight" through the
Blue Ridge. We must not expect
the road to reach US, however, in
week or two. We understand that
Major Wilson has succeeded in plac-
ing his track down through MUD
Cut" is now laying it down to the
eastern approach of the tunnel, and
intends ID. W being there with his
train by the first of April. But the
clearing out of the bench now re-
naming in the Swannanoa Tunnel
will probably take from three to i've
months. In the meantime Major
Wilson intends throwing his whole
force, outside of the tunnel force, on
the work coming down the Swanna-
noa Valley, will run the track iron
the tunnel, and expects to
have several miles of the track down
in this direction by the time his
train comes through the Blue Ridge.
All in all, we have every reason to
hope that the trains will come down
the Swannanoa before the summer is
over. The Legislature has done
everything for the road that was
asked for by our Western members,
and we may now expect Major Will
son to push the work forward with
all the rapidity possible.
Our Western section has positive
cause for congratulation, Our men,
oers obtained all they asked for their
people and section, and our great
natural interest, the Western North
Carolina Railroad, was left in the
most favorable position it has been
IN. Instead of stopping the appro-
priation and otherwise hampering
The work and destroying the efforts
Of Major Wilson, that material help
vas given him which will enable him
TO prosecute the work with renewed
energy, and with much greater effec-
5iveness. We may now hope with
some degree of certainty, to see the
IRON horse plowing through our val
Ieys before the end of the present
year and to this extent most GER
tainly we can give praise to the Leg
stature of 1879, had we no other
reason for doing so.
