The Flora Road.

A MERCURY reporter interviewed Hon.
Oscar r. Hundley, yesterday, anent the
progress of the Nashville & North Ala
bama r. r. Some Of our citizens were
anxious to know why a charter had not
been obtained at the present session OF
the Legislature, ,and we asked Mr.. Humid
lev, why? He informed us when the
Legislature met, he applied, for char
ter in the House, Senator Rice applied for
it also in the Senate, but owing to the
fact that it was local measure the rules
required that proof be submitted that a
notice of the measure was advertised in
a newspaper for 20 days preceding. He
then telegraphed Lawrence Cooper Esq,
of this city, who is one OF the r. r..
Committee, to publish such notice, and
our readers will remember that it ap>
peared in these columns.
Mr.. Hundley, informed us further that
a charter would be obtained in few
days under the general law, and then le-
gal steps will be taken to condemn the
property of those who has refused to
give the right OF way through their
lanGs.
The surveying party, have completed
their labors, made the final survey and
have returned to Nashville. The sub
scriptions have been accepted by Gen.
Thomas, and the only obstacle now in
the way of the great enterprise, is the
right OF way which few parties still re-
fuse to grant. We lay the blame where
it belongs, and that is at the doors of a
few who will not give the right of way

concluded its labors Monday.
Rev. j. B. Loveless, of the Ala
bama Conference, was a visitor
DR.. c. w. Grees and wife, Supt.
Of the Missionary work in South
America, were present.
Rev. w. P. Thirkield, Dean OF
Cannon Theological School, Allan
ia, Ga, was an interested and inter>
esting visitor.
Rev. Friendly j. Brown, of Ope-
lika, and his church with 45 members,
formerly connected with the A. NJ.
E. Church, joined this conference.s
Prior to adjournment, the confer
ence passed resolutions Of thanks to
the citizens of Huntsville, for their
hospitable treatment and entertain
ment.
Strong resolutions were passed,
adopting the Rust Normal Institute
as the conference school, and provid>
ing for the erection Of an additional
building, financial agent being ap
pointed in each Presiding Elders
District, to raise money for the pur-
pose.
Friday night was devoted to liter
airy exercises by the students of the
Rust Institute, and speeches by dis
tinguished visitors, among whom
were Bishop j M Walden, DIR Car
ter, Prof Thirkield aud DR. co Fish
er. All the speeches were able and
timely, but it detracts from none of
them to say that the event of the
evening, was the remarks of the
venerable Bishop Walden, giving
"reminiscences Of the early struggles
for freedom, the Fremont campaign,
in which he then mere lad with
another young man, was the only
two abolitionists to speak on Ken
lucky soil, the organization Of Freed
mans Aid Society, \ for which he
carried around the first subscription
paper, commissioned the first teacher
to 90 South to teach colored schoo.p,
and in the great work of which he
has been main spoke ever since. He
expressed himselfas well pleased..wlth
the evidences Of progress witness d
in the South, and said that he would
esteem more thau the proudest mon
ument of marble over his grave, the
simple epitaph, telling of his work as
one Of the organizers of the Freed
mans Aid Society.
Another interesting incident Of the
evening was solo, "Jesus, Lover OF
My Soul" by Miss Maria l.. Clay, a
student of Rust. The beautiful, ten.
der words Of the sacred hymn, were
sung with an expressiveness and
melody that touched all hearts. So
deeply was the audience impressed
that before the notes died away. a
subscription of about $50 was raised,
started by some one subscribing sl0,
for the purpose Of completing the
Young ladies musical education. The
solo was called for three times. Mrs.
DR.. B. Z. Scruggs, coaxed from the
organ its sweetest notes.
At the Temperance Anniversary,
Saturday night, the church was again
crowded, and the cause of Temper
ance was most ably championed by
DR.. G. O. Fisher, DIR. Carter, Prot.
Thirkield and j. B. Loveless. Miss
Julia Hicks, contributed much to the
interest of the occasion by her rendi-
tion Of the solo, "Oh How Delight
