J This Lodge having been caik'd to pay the last tad tri bute to the memory ot our late worthy Past Matter, Thomas B. Carroll, we fed, that as Mastns, It is right and proper that our records should bear testimony to our estimate of his character. He was a man of positive mind, and never occupied a negative erdaubitilpssltlon. No one could mistake bis convictions on any subject, for they were ever clearly, forcibly and fearlessly expressed, regardless of Centura or praise. Honesty of action and purpose were tbe mott prominent traits in hit character, and were never denied htm by hit most decided opponents. Admitted at an early age as a member of our Fraternltr. he soon evinced a strong attachnitut to the tenets of our profession ; ever prompt to aid with hit counsel, support with hltinnuenceand relieve with his pur.etheditti eased Brother, the widow and tbe fatherless. At a Matter of thlt Lodge, he presided with flrmnera and dignity; administered our laws without favor, par tla'.ityai prejudice; never palliating or aggravating an offense; Judging with candor, admonishing with kindness and reproving with jutiice. this was nis character as a man and Mason, We, bit brethrrn of the mystic tie, knew him long and knew him well; hence we honored him while living, and now mourn bit death and respect his memory ; therefore, be it Ketowea. That we will at a ltd a attend hit funeral. and d posit bis body in the grave according to the cere monies of our ancient and time-honored Institution Retolvei, Tbat tbe lodge be clothed In mourning, and that tbe members wear the usual badge for thirty days.

Wear surrounded by a rich, fertile couniry vtbha matt find an outlet at tbis point, far superior in extent aad fertility to that in the vicinity of any towa or ci tt in tha union. KKatmrg Is four hindrtd mites South, and Louisville or St. Louis are tbe nearest cities North that ca t command any trade, and these ara tbe neareat points to Memphis that are worthy of notice on tte Mississippi sr Ohio i lrers, approachable from the Interior without artificial meant. Of thu vast extent af country, which' is sn ceptibte of One ealttvatioa, Jonr-fifths ot It is yet In a state of nature. Our bluff Is washed by the Father at W ters, tbat never freetea up or gets too low for navigation, upon whose besom floats twenty-five steamers tbat w-t caa dalra a. our regular pack. tt. plying regularly up the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland Big Hatchle, St. Fraaets, White and Arkansas rivers, pouring tbeir immense prod net ions imo our city dally. We have at tbis time four Railroads radialtec f rem Ibis point, viz : The Mtmphls and Cbarletton the Memphis and Oblo. tbe Mississippi an-l Tanaesaae. aad Memphis and Little Rock. These roads lead out o- the city to the East, North, South and W.as, at Memphis is tbe recipient of all tbe trade and trawl produced l-y them. Tbe Memphis and Cbarletton Railroad it cuaipieted, aad passenger, are able to go from here to New York in less than three d.yt, and trace the rompietlo. ot ibis road we are now receiving Cotton fram North Alabama and Eatl of the Tencesaee river. Tbe Misalrs'ppl and Tennessee road will tap the Mlsisslppi Central road, having a direct communication with Mobile and New Or. leans, and passengers far Louisville and tbat section will come toMempbls and take tha Memphis and Ohio road. Alt tbreear tbese roads wll: bring pastengers to M-mphls destined for the great West and Pacific coast, the Memphis aad Little Rack Railroad being ttrjlrtt link in that great vork. It there has heretofore been any doubts of Mm phla being the crossing point of the Atlantic aad Paculc Railroad, tbe cold weather ot last winter haa settled the qantton. for while the Nothweatern reads were f men np for montM, we never lest an I oar on any or our reads. The day is sat distant when we will have a road trom here to St Louis, that will traversea section of-tounlty eqaal la fertility to any in the Union. The State of Missouri hat appropriated $2 SCO.OOO to be expended South ef the Irvn Mountain, bringing this read to to the dividing .Ice between this State and Arkansas. Engineers have been examining, tbe past tammer, tbe line ot thit road through the rich bottom lands of Mississippi and Crittenden eoaaltes, opposite Memphis, aad with the most satisfactory rcnlti ; giving thereby iron, coal and provision ehrai aad atraad-nt to Memphis, wbMa will greatly increase its manufacturing Indaatry and capital No country to ths worM surpsMtet ia rkhnest and festility tbese alluvial lands.

In making this statement, of coarse I d nat laeia ie any description ot maauf aetared articles, but simply Produce, brouiht Into market bylke farm rs, far sale as their tecasnt. A reference to the respective annual price-currents warrants this sisertun. Memphis was made a port af entry only a few years ago, and her Imports now ran np to b,ut $500,000 per an num, arid Is Increasing very rapidly. Oar manufacturing interest is in a very flourishing coadltlon wa manufacture all our Hour, besides as porting largely.
