The river this side of Cairo has in
terfered very seriously with the run
ming Of trains this week. The water
is over the track and washing it in
places, so that the trains have not
been able to get through. Passengers
have been ferried across, and through
travel kept up.
Passenger train No. 4, south bound,
on the c., st. l.. d n. O. road, was
derailed in cut at College Hill, near

THE TENNESSEE CENTRAL.

While in Memphis last week, we
met and talked with Captain Inman,
engineer Of the Tennessee Central
Railroad. He is now employed on
the Chesapeake and Ohio, north of
Memphis, and has frequent communi,
cation with the high officers of that
company. Captain Inman thinks,
with united and proper effort on the
part of the people along the line of
our dormant road, that Mr.. Hunting.
don, president of the g. Il o. road,
can be induced to iron and equip ours
and give us the benefit of it. lie thinks
we should take prompt steps to lay
before Mr.. Huntingdon the advanta.
ges we can offer him, the amount of
produce which would probably be
shipped along the line, the population,
etc. We utge the people, and espec.
tally the officers, directors and stock
holders, to awake and push this en-.
terprise forward to completion. 1t
will be of vast Importance to every.
body on the line, and especially so to
Huntingdon, Milan and Trenton. We
honestly believe that we can now have
the road finished in short time if the
right kind of offort is made. Mr..
Huntington wants all the feeders to
his great line that he can secure, and
we think he will be liberal to us. Let
US arouse ourselves and go to work.

DESPERATE DCrf!sa AFFRAY.
Sylvester Robertson, ColOred, Spt end
Stabbed In Ten Places.

On last Monday, at the old Guns
ningham farm, about four miles east
of here, bloody fight occIrred be~
tween Sylvester Robertson, colored,
and three white men by the name of
McVeagh. 1t seems that Robertson
went to McVeagh's house and charged
him with setting his (McVeagh's) dog
on the dog belonging to him, (Rob>
ertson.) John McVeagh said he did
it for fun, to see the race. After FIR
ther talk, the negro called him id
liar, when McVeagh started toward
him with an axe, which he had in his
hand, but they were checked oy the
father of McVeagh. They both then
turned away, when Robertson again
stopped and said he could whip the
whole id set of them. The old
man said he was not well, but he
could not whip him. lhen John
came up, when the negro knocked him
down with brick. He also knock
ed James, another brother, down.
The brothers both arose with their
knives in their hands, caught the
negro and cut him in ten places. The
worst places were across the abdomen,
neck and chest. Drs. Jordan, Hen
derson, and Harrison were called in
and dressed the wounds, which are
thought not to be fatal, although Sc.
we're. The McVeaghs were tried by
Esquire Jordan on Thursday, when
the father was discharged and the two
sons held in bonds OF $3.50 each.

APARENT'S LAMENT.
tSuggested by the death of an infant da lighter
of W j. and NJ. Hine.

My lovely iii;ls fsiry one,
NV seautiful. my bright
Whose radiact face to ga.e upon
Entranced me with delight; -,
Whose artless tones enrapt my soul,
And charmed my listening ear,
And with magic. sweet control.
Thy mothers heart could cheer.
0, thou art gone art passed awayl
Thine eye Of azure blue
Is closed in darkness; in decay
Thy form Is sinking now;
Thy voice is hushea, its spell Is stayed,
Thy roseate flush is gone,
Thy graceful motion death has laid
His iron hand upon.
And as through bursting tears / gaze,
Thy lifeless form to view,
My soul, all stepped in sad amaze,
Scarce thinks the vision true.
Seems ii some hideOus dream Of night,
That holds me in its thrall,
That mocking, cheats my fearful sight,
In anguish binds my soul.
But yesterday thou vast thing
Ofairy life and joy,
That o. er my path didst roses fling
To smooth each days annoy.
And now it cannot be but when
Thy paid cheek kiss,
And icy lips-my visions then
Are stern realities.
My God. thou asst resumed thy boon,
A boon for earth too good
o, whilst with seraph choirs she's gone
To share their blest abode,
In. patient fai h thy paths to tread,
May | to thee be given,
And life's last trial finished,
My sweet one jsin in heaven.

Both Legs Cut OF.

A terrible accident betel a Miss
Tienan yesterday in Jackson. AS the
north bound train on the c., st. l..
IL N. o. railroad was passing slowly
through the city, about noon, she at
tempted to run across the track in
front of the engine. Being feeble
from recent illness, she miscalculated
her strength, and fell in front of the
approaching train. Before she could
escape, the front wheels passed over
her lower limbs, cutting both off be-
low the knees. Brakes were applied
and the train stopped instantly, when
the engineer drew her from beneath
the wheels in a mangled condition. 1t
is thought she cannot recover from
the terrible shock. The engineer is
not blamed. as he was going slowly,
and using all due caution.
