of the freight departments of the
several railroads operating IN West
Tennessee, namely: the Memphis d
Charleston; Louisville IL Nashville;
Chesapeake, Ohio u Southwestern;
Illinois Central; Mobile u Ohio and
the Nashville, Chattanooga ~ St.
Louis, and that the officers and man
agemen,s of said roads be respectful
ly but most earnestly requested and
urged to adopt the classification here
in set forth and to give us the rates
herein suggested to the markets here>
in named.
Your committee begs to insist upon
this, for they are convinced that the
successful growing and continued pro-
duction of many, at least, of the pro-
ducts named essentially depend upon
the rate Of tariff to be paid for their
transportation to market. And this
committee is of the confident opinion
that the granting of such rates by the
railroads would tend largely to the
increased production of fruits and
vegetables and result IN a mutual
benefit to the roads and the producers
while the present rates are discour-
aging producers and greatly disturb-
ing their plans and purposes.
And your committe would further
suggest that a copy of this report be
sent to the Railroad Commissioners
of the State at Nashville, and that
they be asked to unite with us in this
request and appeal to the railroads
and to give us their friendly co opera
tion and assistance in this matter.

GEN. SHERMAN's CAREER.-Very
few people know what a varied life
Gen. Sherman has led. He left the
army in 1853, when a Lieutenant,
and went into the banking business
in San Francisco. In three years the
firm was unsuccessful. He went into
II law partnership in Leavenworth,
Kansas, with Tom Ewing, and left
that after year. In 1859 he was ter
ribly hard pushed. His father-in-
law, Mr.. Ewing, had been Secretary
Of the Interior in President TaylOr's
Cabinet, when one Of his colleagues
was Charles Wickliffe, of Kentucky,
and the latter's son was now Govern
or Of Louisiana. He had also known
Capt. Sherman when he was sta
toned at New Orleans. His aid was
invoked, and through his influence
the eX-Captain was made Superin-
tendent Of the State Military School
at $4,000 a year. He was strong
Democrat, but when the war broke
out he came North, although offered
a Brigadier's command in rebeldom.
Gen. Bragg was the bearer Of the
protfer, but he says that Gen. Sher-
man seemed never to dream Of ac-
cepting it. Those who were intimate
with him at the time say that it was
his wife, old Thomas Ewing's daught-
er, who kept his loyalty bright in
those days. Sherman had consider
able difficulty in getting rank in the
Union army. For two years he was
called "Mad Tecumseh," andyit was
only when Grant became prominent
that Sherman's merits were recOg-
nized and he was pushed ahead. The
General, after his retirement, will
continue to draw Sl5,OOO a year aud
allowances.

of a Branch to HALEY.

Sheriff Furey returned night before
last from San Fancisco via Ogden and
Shoshone. Mr.. Furey remained at
the Golden Gate eight days. He re-
ports business lively, and considerable
interest manifested in the prosperity
of Wood River. He had am inter
view, while there, with Mr.. Goodman,
General Passenger Agent of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company, and
other officers of the road. These
gentlemen made pointed inquiries as
to the product of the mines, prospects
for permanence, and quantity of popu-
lation counted on as permanent here,
and discussed the situation with great
interest. Mr.. Furey gave them full
particulars, and was assured that San
Francisco desired to form close bust
ness relations with Idaho, and that
the {. p. II. II. management would
endeavor, as early as possible, to com.
plete a line to this point to secure the
traffic.

The Messrs. Dyer, the contractors
who came in from Butte, Montana, a
couple of weeks ago, to look into the
Immediate prospects of this section in
general and of Haley in particular,
have concluded to settle in this city
and engage in the manufacture of
brick and lime. They have therefore
sent for two of their matchmaking ma.
chimes, and have located a limestone
ledge in Strahorn gulch, where they
intend to make all the lime that will
be neededin Haley and vicinity. In
the time business they will be associ-
ated with Robert Il. Strahorn.
These are only two of the many en-
terprises in which the Messrs. Dyer in
tend to engage.

They live in a fine house in San Fran

known as the Madison Square Theat-

Six feet from the bottom drift is run

10 feet above this level south
drift was run about 80 feet, showing
Is inches of very rich ore, and an
equal width of second-class ore. On
the same level north drift 40 feet

All the ore found in this mine is of

There is said to be over $4,000

The deed is in escrow, and will re-

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Their Quarterly Meeting to he Held
April 3.

During the session Of the last Leg
islaturc the time for the meeting of
the County Commissioners was
changed from the first to the second
Monday in April. The act making
this change was approved February
last, and is now operative. This
change makes each quarterly meeting
the second Monday in January, April,
July, and October. AS the bills
passed were sent to San Francisco the
official notice of the change has not
been received yet by the County Com
missioncrs, but the quarterly meeting
will be postponed, and all bills which
were to have been presented Mon
day next for action by the Board will
be held over until Monday, April O.
as we'll as all other business. The de-
lay is unfortunate, as it retards action
upon the courthouse bill.
John Van Setback will arrive here
next week from Rocky Bar, and full
board will doubtless sit at the time
stated.
