For more than a week past tho air has
been filed with rumors to the effect that
that part of tho Knox 7ille and Augusta
Railroad running through East Tennessee
was about to be sold. Tho name of the
purchaser was not revealed, but it was uns
dcrstood to bo a company that would extend
the line 20 as to connect with tho Georgia
system of railroads. Tho transaction has
been completed and the road sold to the
owners oil the Atlanta s. Charlotte Air
Line. The purchasers propose, as we un-
derstano, at an early day to construct the
line necessary to connect Knoxville with
their line at Toccoa City, thus giving us
another route to tho scaboard. This will
place Knoxville on a great thoroaghfaro

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

The many rumors circulating about tho
Bluo Ridge Railroad arc very perploxing,
and frequently excite our citizens with
grave alarm, lest tho coveted prizo be
graspsd from our section and FROM this
State,' 1t is well known that the Air Limo
Neilroad is figuring to control certain links
in the ohain with the view of blocking any
movement for its completion. Some weeks
ago i was positively announced that this
Koad had control Of tho charter in North
Carolina, but this was promptly ascertoincd
to bo "a mistake. Now the rumor comes
thut it owns tho Tennessee end of the Road,
with all OF the chartered privileges iu that
State. We do not believe this rumor, be-
cause it would not secure tho Air Line
ngalnSt tho building Of tho Bluo Ridge
Road TO the Tennessee line, aud there pro
curing another charter to Knoxville or
some, point on tho Cincinnati Southern
RoaaS The State of Tennessee wants on
outlet, and would choerfu!ly graut new
charter if necessary, and would further bo
willing to help in the completion of tho
ROAD if it were built to the line of that
State. This link would also do the Air
Liuc no good unless it can control the iu-
termediato link in North Carolina. In
purchasing the Tennessee end of the Road
from three to five thousand dollars would
be necessary, and the prospect of any re-
turn to tho Air Liuo would be too yuguo for
them to undertake it. While it is proba-
bic no actual sale has been made, still we
have information that Influences hostile to
the Blue Ridge Road arc at work to defeat
nny possibility of its construction, and tho
friends of the enterprise should be arrung-
Jog for consolidation of all tho charters
and an onward move to its completion by
combination Of the owners of oil its links.

The Galveston Banquet tl

GALVESTON, TEXAS, March 25.-At tho

"Gencral Grunt, our honored guest
greater armies than Napoleon's have marched
at Lis command, and greater glores than

after acknowledging the cordial reception
given him: "lt was my fortune moro than

the conflict which was to settle tho bound
ary of that State. am glad to como back
on this occasion to behold territory which

that they may go on developing their re-
sources and become more great and power
ful, add in prosperity forget, os the worthy
Mayor expressed it, that there is boundary
between the North and South IProlonged
applause am sure we will all be happier
and much more prosperous when tho day
comes that there shall be no sectional feel
ing" After referring to his recent foreign
experience, he continued: "With tho dense
population aud worn out soil of European
countries it takes great deal Of govern
'ncnt to enable the people to &c. from tho
soil bure subsistence. Here we have
rich virgin soil and room enough for OK
pansion and development with very little

be able TO get along without beiug SO much

A reception, which was largely attended
by the business mon, was given to the
General at 12 o'clock to day at tho Cotton

The Air Lines Flank Movement.

The Grcenville Nc,os is informed that
the Air Line Railroad has bought the
railroad FROM Knoxville to NarysviIlo, and
that the line will be built withou. delay to
Mount Airy, Ga. Wo wish wo could bo
satisfied that this will be beneficial to
Charleston. Our belief is that tho Air
Line Railroad, looking to its own interests
will draw business from Louisville and
force it FROM Mount Airy to Charlotte,
instead of allowing it to find it's natural
outlet at Charleston.
There is no short route from Mount
Airy to this port unless the Air Line Road
can acquire the Bluo Ridge Railroad, in
which case freight might come down over
the Blue Bidgo and Grecnvi!c and Colum.
bia Railroads, if the roads consent to work
together. The natural course would then
be take to the Greenwood and Augusta Rail
road, when built, or some parallel route, to
Augusta, where Savannah, Port Royal
and Charleston would fight for the bust
ness.
Tie air is thick with rumors of new
railroad combinations, and tho attitude of
Charleston is to wait patiently for somebody
somewhere to make her fortune. This is
not tho way that Savannah, Atlanta aud
Augusta manage. They go to work for
themselves, and for that reaeon find capi-
talists ready to help them, 1t is unsafe
for nry city to rely on the belief that it is
80 noocssary to outsiders that it must bo
bultnp in spite of itself. The capital can
be had, if we have the men to show that it
can be proGtnbIy employed
The loss of the Marysville Road and the
completion of the line to Mount Airy will
certainly bring Charleston nearer to Louis
vile, by rail, than she now is, but the city
needs, in order to reap tho full advantage
Of Western trade, the CO operation of the
lines from Charleston to Knoxville, in the
interest of this port. We do not soc that
the Air Line project will bring this about
Perhaps tho AshcVillo route will, at last.

To nominate Gen. Grant for third term,
in the face of tho usage to the contrary
running through tho entire existence of tho

The fight between Senators Hill and
Gordon, over tho nomination of Simmons
as Supervisor Of the Census, was more in
portant than it seemed. 1t was u contest
between the Independents and the Regular
Democrats, Senator Hill representing the
Independents and Senator Gordon being
the champion of pure and unadultcratcd
Democracy. The victory of Senator Cor
don, therefore, is check to an insiduuus
movement which tho Georgia Democracy
cannot afford to ignore.
The Georgia Democracy have not worse
enemy ti'un Congressman Stephens. In

he seems to bo able to do as he likes and act
