SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.l

ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.l
CHATTANOOGA November 5.-The whole
sale removal Of passenger agents in this
territory of their rivals, made under agree
ment of the Louisville and Nashville,
Nashville snd Chattanooga, East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia and other
Southern trunk lines, has created a de-
cided sensaticn in railroad circles, and has
deprived from fifty to 100 men of fat
jobs. Why the agreement wae made is
not known, but it was doubtless caused
by the bitter warfare that has prevailed
between the Western and Atlantic and
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
roads. The discharge OF the agents took
effect to-day.

termination of the nailers' strike at the
next meeting of the nail manufacturers,
which will be held in Cincinnati on the
18th instant. The fact that the Eastern
manufacturers have advanced 10 per cent.
to their nailers is regarded as virtually
ending the contest, which, however, is not
for an advance here, but simply the res
toration of the old price. The strike is
now in its sixth month.

Black Diamond survey to Norfolk

more than q hundred miles less

ny way OF Baltimore or further
north. The road would run
through a country unsurpassed in
mineral wealth, fine timber and
fertile soil. From its completion
the road would be taxed to its ut.
most capacity to meet the demands
Of travel and transportation. The
route is Of easy grade, therefore the
construction would not cost much
more than half the amount some
other roads Of equal length have
cost and still paid a handsome diyi

long isolated. Capital is seeking
investment. A railroad will come
before a great while. Let US en-.
