lAILT APPEAL.
MEMPHIS.
SATTJBDiY HORSHJG KA.Y 15, 18S8
largest Circulation in the City.
TEE HAIXKOAD QUESTION.
We agree with our cotecoporary, the .Bulle
tin, in its well expressed opinion, that the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen ought not to
act-apon the question of connecting the Mem
phis a Etd Charleston Railroad with the river,
in the present immature state of the public
rated on that question. We have already- ex
pressed a very decided opinion in favor of the
sieasare as a movemeat of good policy for
Memphis and of advantage to all concerned.
Bert we prefer to rest the whole qiestion upon
the verdict of the citizens of Memphis, whose
province it Is to determine it. And we are
therefore opposed to the Mayor and Aldermen
hastily attempting to legislate Upon a question
of so much importance, and which involves so
swell of interest to every citizen, until they are
distinctly Instructed by the people of the city
as to the course they shall psrsue in the prem
ises. If they act at present, either far or
against the extension, it will only bj a source
of irritation hereafter, and.a vote of the people
wM finally be called for the purpose of ascer
t&itting the sense of the citizens touching the
question. There can not fail to be aroused
atreatg prejudice against the party assuming to
farce measures without the consent and appro
bation of the voters, which will inevitably re,
act against that side.
It is moreover just and proper, in every Bense,
that the people eheuW be consulted to uchlpg a
aeasure which has excited so wide a contrari
ety of sentimefit. The most judicious course
that can be pursued by the Board, is to order
aa election, specially to take the sense of the
voters on this question, and thus totally to sep
a rate it from all other questions and interests.
It appears plain to us that this is both the
B3et satisfactory and the most summary meth
ed) sVsnosifig of the question, and of brin;-
iog aoont a feseral acquiescence in the resale.
Beading Matter on Every Page.
S"Mr. Tooxss' bYikn.pt law (says the
Wash tag ton correspondent of the New York
IltraM) is .being actively considered by the
Jsslklary Coamittee, and it will probably be
presented to the Senate early next week. It
is Mderetoed'K will be a general bill, including
iadivMaals, corporations, chartered banks and
acty association of persons authorized to issue
Betes, WHs, tc. It will provide for voluntary
aad involuntary bankruptcy, and wW be ratro-
Mtive. The retroactive feature will be guarded
as to exclude all who, scbseqoeat to January
last or any other time, have made assignments,
ia contemplation of the passage of a bankrupt
law, which gave preference to one creditor
w aaether, and the bankrupt in such caees
sbmM not receive a discharge unless with the
flMBtat of a majority of his creditors who
have been so preferred. The involuntary
baakraatey applies to cases 'where the debts
exef two thousand dollars, and the person
declared naaknpt is entitled to trial by jury
aH U ansfers of property of any kind, for the
latrpase of giviag any creditor, endorser or
ether pervoo any preference or priority over
gaaerat creditors, to be nail and void, and the
parties obtaining them to be sued for such
assouet as assets of the bankruptcy. With
rags id to banks and other issuers of paper
nwaoy, they are to corae under the bead of in
vsuntary fcaakrapts ; and, in addition to all
the KabMties which attach to individuals, they
xaay he declared bankrupt for the non-payment
far tea days after detsand of atjy bill, note or
nttur.KafrBity all the expeases of proceedings
to he paid by the parties interested, and under
aa pretease to be paid by the United States.
These are the general .features of the bill, we

EOUTHEKH PACIFIC SAILSOiD.
We judge from tbe following, which we clip
from the New Orleans Dtlta of the Jllh last,
that this road Is likely to ba seriously Involved
in difficulties, and that there is a projjabllKyof
its being sold out under a deed of trust. In
this event, of course, a large number of inno
cent stockholders must suffer loss :
The Delia says:
There was oulte a laree attendance yes
terday at the office of the Company, of the
stockholders of tbe Southern Pacific Railroad,
in pursuance of the call by President Yergtr.
PrlVnt rrrrr exnlained the nnrDoae of
tbe meeting in a speech of considerable length,
recapitulating tne conmuon, prospects a do gan
gers of tbe company, substantially as we britflv
set them forth a day or two a go. He laid much
irf on theureencv of the claims of the com
pany's creditors ; they had done honest work,
he said ; they had postponed their just demands
time ami again ; mey naa graniea every ucmj
and indulgence until patience had ceased to be a
virtue, and now thev should be paid. And
President Yerger did not hesitate to say that,
after the Directors had failed to meet and talce
the important subject in consideration, if the
stockholders to whom he appealed refased to
take steps for satisfying or for coming to a
good understanding with those creditors, it
would be just that the company's property in
Tfin should be sold under the deed of trust,
as advertised already fer aale on tbe first of
June next. It was by mat oeea or irust tuai
materials were procured and work was done at
a critical time; it was by that work that tbe
charter was saved; and now, if those who
secured the road from forfeiture can get pay in
another way, they are entitled to have it by
the sale of the road itself.
President Yerger said much more in regard,
ro aisucguisaing oeiween, oono jiie uti uejj'is
stockholders, and intimated that one conse
quence at least of the deed ef trust in Texts,
would be to purse the Ceopaay of the latter in
cumbrance, that is, of stockholders who re
joice in fabulous amounts of stock for which
they paid nothing, and which, thrown into the
market, detract from the general value ef stock
aa well as the reputation of the Company.
Mr. Richard T. Archer, of Mississippi, one
of tbe Company's Directors, replied to Presi
dent Yerger In a somewhat pointed and forci
ble manner. He complained that when he sub
scribed $6 000 in cash for stock under the new
rrasgemect last year, Mr. Terser headed the
list with a subscription of $30 000 for himself
and friends an amount that that gentleman
and his friends afterward declined to make
good. He also complained of having been
arawa in, seme way, by Robert J. Walker, to
sacrifice a Mississippi plantation worth every
Mt of $23 800, fer that much stock ia tbe old
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad project, the im
mediate progenitor of the present Southern Pa
cific He also spoke of the injustice tf the
Texas Leeislature having affixed to tbe dona
tion or 10,240 acres of land aad .O0O in
money per mile offthe road, the condition that
t domicile of the company should be re
moved to Texas, and concluded by the feeling
expression of the wish that he was " out of
tbe scrape" altogether.
Col. Wiefall, or lexas, men speice, mingling
(he facetious, felicitous and forcible in such a
manner as to smooth the troubled waters, ban
ish personal feeling, crimination and recrimi
nation, and bring tbe meetingte the direct con
sideration of the practical question before it,
He commiserated tbe case of Mr. Archer, but
be would recommend to bim the example of
David, who mourned in sackcloth and ashesfor
bis sick child, but when tbe child was dead,
arose, washed himself, and went about his;
business like a sensible man. r. Archer bad
better let by-gones be by-goaes, resign himself
te irretrievable losses, and go about bis busi-
ae;s. i-or bis part, ne considered mac me
exchange of Mr. Archer's worn-out plantation
in Holmes county, worth about $S,000, for
$28,000 of stock In the Bob Walker project, a
very eood bet, if it was lost. He would have
ttaked quite as much on the same game. Col
VTigfall concluded by eta ting plainly what was
the real question before the meeting, and urg
ing them to reso've upon some practical course
tc satisfy creditors, prevent, the sale of the
road, and nrotet COM fide stockholders.
A motion was men maue 10 can on. a. a

That eentleman declined to take the

Mr. Verier from iasiouatioas made against
him. He bad known bim from bo v eood, and
it be was distineaished for anything more tban

resolution was unanimously adopted :

SOUTHERN C0HKEBCIAL C0KVE5TI0X
FIRST DAT.
This Convention assembled at Montgomery,
Alabama, on Monday last. We cvmplle from
tte Mrrrtittr, ef that city, such proceedings
of .the first day As we deem ef public interest.
Tbe Jirtrliifr" says the delegations ia atten
dance were resMrkaMy welt filted, especially
these from Alabama, Georgia, aad Virginia.
South Carolina also made a very respectable
appearance.
At 12 o'clock, precisely, our distinguished
townsman, Hon. Wo. L. Yancey, mounted the
platform and called the Ceaveatiea to order ia
a short, extempore but forcible speech. He
said:
Mj Cetmirywm of ihe SouUi: At thereqaest,
and in behalf of the Mayer and Public Author
ities ef the city ot Montgomery, I bid you wel
ee ne. I have designated you as my country
men of the South, for this is to be a convention
of Southern men, assembled on Southern roil,
for the purpose, strange to say, of counteract
ing the utijxst and deleterious iiifluences of our
own national legislation ; of raising up and in
vigorating a commerce for our own section, of
which it has been deprived by means ef unjust
navigation laws ; In short, for tte purpose of
encouraging and stimulating by the wisdom of
your suggestions, tbe industry of a section
which has effectively bone the burthens of
government and buiH up a rival section, while
enjoying but little of its favor.
1 welcome you as the representative of a peo
ple, who, confident in their own resources and
in themselves, and having a proper regard for
the great principle of ntum el iuum, ask noth
ing of their general government but te be let
alone who, if they can be permitted to enter
into the great contest of Industry, UBtrammel
ed, will look alone to their energy, prudence
and wisdom, for success.
I welcome you, as tte forsbadowiog of that
other more important convention which, if in
justice and wrong continue to rule the hour and
councils of the dominant section of our divided
and estranged land, must, ere leeg, assemble
for the noble purpose of putting the political
relations of tbe South upon the safe basis of
an iadependeLt sovereignty ; whose climate and
soil, protections and social institutions, will
have that unity which experience seems to have
demenstrated to be the only permanent basis
ef successful gevernment.
The Oo vention was organized by tbe ap
pointment of tbe following officers:
President Andrew P. C&lboun, of South
uarouaa.

On taking tbe Chair, tbe President spoke ia
substance as folio ws : ,
Gextlemek: While I thank you most sin
cerely lor tae aistinguisDea nonor you Dave
conferred upon me, I assure you I approach
tbe duties you have imposed upon me with
great distrust in my capacity te fill them equal
to your expectation. That there is aa unani
mous feeling now existing throughout the
Souib upon tbe all-abeorhiag and vital ques
tions which we are assembled here to discusa,
no me will deny. Since 1546, when I had tbe
honor to represent this, mj adopted State, 1l
the Memphis Convention, 1 felt satisfied tbat
the large collection of Southern energy and
Southrr. talent which assembled at these con
ventions, would, by the intrchauge of opinion,
which takes place on seen occasions, be uiti
mately productive of good, i relt tnat if we
were but tu uuite the South, and cause her to
act with one half th energy fer tbe mainte
nance of ber rlgbts that her enemies display in
taking them away, she would long since have
accomplished all at which she alms. But,gen
tlmes, we are an agricultural people ; we are
aisiategratea in our society roe ownership
f slaves and tbe working of her soil necessa
rily affects us. Bat naturally it produces an
independence of character which marks us,
amoag all people, as a peculiar race.
We have now, for the first time, struck the
chord ef tbe great Southern heart, and a coal
men pulsation is felt along the American slave
States, striking deep into the interior. We are
new aroused, fer the first time, to a sense of,
the fact tbat ereat causes have been at work
from the formation of tbe government to the
present time, tbat hare changed socially, po
litically, agriculturally, and commercially, tbe
intervening causes which produce tbe distrac
tion of the social fabric of our society.
Gntlemn, it matters not wnal toe area or
tbe South or her triumphant resources may be;
what her position to be powerful is. na'urally,
f we permit the pressure from the North to go
further than it has at tbls moment, we cannot
expect (it will be idle to do so) that one jot ef
tbe power claimed by our foe will ever be
yielded. Ic is all tbe same to us; the slave
holder and his slave 'he slave States and their
tsstittttiMii are the objects of their hostility;
and now they claim the victory as wen they
say tbat time, will consummate all tbe rest they
wane nui nine, geoiiemen, rime is at raiua
bit to e to our tutmitt. Let a common In
terest unite u, and, gentlemen, let us, as far
aa the reeerved power in these States will
enable u, seek t d-velop every atom of our
strength and delegated power to the general gov
ernment. We must respect tbe laws as long as
we live In this Union.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I beg to assure tbe
Convention that 1 come to this chair with no
other purpose or desire tban to fill it with im
partiality, and I throw myself on your kindness
to exeuse any errors wbieb I might Inadvert
antly commit.

After some further debate relative to rules
of order, business, &e.,
Mr. L. W. Spratt, of S. C., offered and read
a report from the committee appointed at the
last Convention to take into consideration the
practicability of re-opening the African slave
trade. This report Is very lengthy, so much so
that its publication in the -MrrrXutrlalmprao
tieable.
Some remarks were made by Messrs. Yan
cey and Pryor In relation to the report the
former statins; that he considered the movement,
under preteaf circvmttartcu, Impracticable;
and tbe latter requesting permission to bs
beard this morning in opposition to the report
not that he was influenced by any thing like
tbe false philanthropy and cant of the day, but
mat he wished time to sqow to me uonvestion
reasons wbjPhe opposed its recommendation.
Tbe report was on motion tabled for tbe pres

On motion of Mr. Robert G. Scott, of Ala
bama, tbe Conventien adjourned till 9 o'clock,

What Bsill'bs DJte with the BeeuiaaU ?
There is a contrariety of opinion in the Dem
ocratic ranks as to what course of policy shall
be pursued toward those members of tbe party
who have acted with the opposition during the
present session of Congress on tbe Kansas
question. The New York correspondent of the
Washington Uaieu says on this subject :
lac jisniu oj oramrrc, ui uiis uuuimt;,
DTonoscs tbat tbe doer of tbe Democratic fold
be opened to all who may have strayed from
it, and wbo " may hereafter prefer to act with
their forn-er political atsocictes rather than
enter into permanent relations with the opposl
Uon." Tbe tone of the article is so concilia.
tory, so thoroughly good natured, abd full of
practical good sense, mat many wno, nice my
self, were very indignant at tbe course pursued
by some or our " loraer political associates,"
are now inclined to smoke the calumet of
peace, and bury the httchef, if tbe temporary
eeceders will only come back at once, and not
41 make a fuss about it." W'tb regard to Sen
ator Douglas, every man who admired the vast
ability and energy wmca D? displayed in". me
passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, arid
wbo that is a Democrat has not admired his fa
mous report on tbat bill?) and wbo has ob
served bis consistent political career up to a
certain period, has deeply regretted his partial
opposition, and has never ceased to hope that
some lucky chance will bring him back from
the path on which has strayed, ahd rescue bim
from tbe fatal embrace ef Know-Nothings and
Black Republicans, whose very touch Is death
to any Democrat, We hope still tbat be will
come back, and true to the party to which he
was an ornamect, shake off the Republican
barsales that are clinging to bis skirts. Be
sides, I am assured by those wbo are In a po
sition to know, that the Republicans of Illinois
are ready to throw him over. Long John
Wentwortb and Abraham Lincoln do not dis
guise their distrust of tbe u little giant," and it
is really revolting to ueartoese political am
ssalctNz talk of refusing tbe overtures of the
political mastadon wbo framel and passed the
Kansas-Nebraska bill.
The Journal of Commerce, whose chief edi
tor is among tbe oldest, most experienced, most
independent, and deservedly respected editors of
the New York press, evidently advocates a
"pacific policy," and the manifestation of "a
spirit of moderation and kindness." I have
infinite respect for bis judgment, and believe
that he speaks the sentiments of a large por
tion of the party. I confess tbat they were
not myown, but I would adopt them sooner
than that tbe Republicans shonldtjiave the
glory of enrolling in their ranks menwbo once
enjoyed popular confidence as Democrats. Tbe
Republicans of this city will insist oh it tbat
tbe passage of tbe " English" bill is a victory
for Intra, and the actual assertion of their doc
trines with regard to Kansas. They are lost in
amazement at tbe idea that Democrats presume
to celebrate it as a triumph for their side, and
crack tbe most doleful jokes about "funeral
salutes," &.e. Simple Democrats cannot real
ize" the Republican victory. We cannot im
agine a Republican victory with regard to Kan
sas that does not repeal the Kansas Nebraska
bill, assert the absolute right of Congress (pro
vided the majority be Black Republican) to
legislate for tbe Territories, or, at least, de
clare the Topeka constitution tbe acme of
statesmanship and political wisdom.
From tha Boston Courier J
There are few things no wide apart in human
life as speculation and fact. We have a set of
men and women, toot in this country, and fur
some reason they seem to congregate in Mas
sachusetts, who are mere speculatists, tbat is,
tbeorisers. upon a great variety of subjects
which affect the concerns of society, ihey
urge abstract doctrines to their extremes t limit,
Everything in this world ought to be perfectly
right, according to their notions of right, It
is evident tbat a ereat many things are appa
rently wrong. Tbe world is like a tangled
web, nmcn is unliseiy ever to be completely
straightened out. Nothing can be done to im
prove its condition, except by pains which will
be requisite until tbe very tai of time, and by
tbe most careful and geatle treatment. Yet tbe
idea ef these theoretical philosophers is to
seize hold of a loose string here and a loop
there, and to pull away with all their might
and main. Tbe consequence is that they break
it, and every effert wbich they employ only
makes the snarl still more complicated and un
manageable than before.
So in England, more than in any country of
Europe, there has been a predominant set of
these philosophers wbo wait for neither tide
nor time. They eet themselves to work some
years ago, to effect tbe emancipation of tbe
negroes ia the British colonies. We do not say
what influence was exercised upon tbe British
Parliament, by the consideration tbat such an
act might prove embarrassing to our own
Southern States, and promote such causes of
disagreement between tbe South and tbe North,
as would make tbe United States a far less
dangerous rival to Great Britain, when dis
united and perhaps broken in two, tban when
they stood firmly leagued together. Our own
philosophers of this sort increased amazingly
in numbers and zeal under this lead of British
pbilanthrophy. Tbe billing and cooing, back
and forth, between them on both sides of tbe
water was something truly edifying and mar
velous to behold.
We say cothinr against emancipation in
itself, or as a substitute for and a relief from
actual cruelty and oppression. But If there be
reason In the roasting of an egg, there Is also
a reason, a judgment and a propriety to bs ex
ercised upon the subject of negro slavery, as
upon all others. To tbe sort ef freedom
claimed now-a-days, by the philosophers in
ques ion, for black men and white men too, we
are very much opposed ; and touching tbe civil
freedom of Uie former class, there are very
many considerations of justice, humanity and
discretion, affecting both the slave and his
master, to be taken into account, whenever any
such question is to be disposed of. Nor is it
necessary for us to say anything of the well
known effects of negro-emanc7patin in the
British West India colonies. It is sufficient
for our purpose, mat the tide of sentiment has
taken an altogether backward turn among our
English brethren, at least so far as tbe action
of the Government is concerned. Philanthropy
was ail very well on the other side, of tbe
water, until they found by experience how pro
foundly their interests were affected by the in
dulgence of Jt. It was a very cheap sort of
philanthropy Indeed, among our own ne 'to
phi list philosophers, because not one of them
bad the slightest personal interest wbich could
be injured by giving it free course. On the
contrary, it was z species of humanity, to be
gratified entirely at tbe expense of others; and
so talking is the cry of freedom among the
multitude tbat they wbo raised tbe cry tbe
leu, est often also raised themselves into tbe
list of heroes and martyrs, upon the score of
their negrophilism alone, without reference to
any other qualities or virtues whatsoever.
The test of Heroism was begro worship; tbe
reward of martyrdom consisted in procuring
a seat in Congress, or some other place of
similar self-sacrifice.
Bt.t our readers must have observed the
queries and intimations, from time to time, ic
the British Parliament, of late, unon thn nS.
jectof procuring laborers for the Weatlndlu
Islands, tbe project certainly was entertained
or transporting emigrants" from Africa.
Every one in the slightest degree acquainted
with the subject, knows that tuch immigration
must be necessarily an enforced one, in a
word, that the negroes must be obtained froci
the chiefs, and that they are captives taken by
violence for the purpose. This is the svntern
pursued, by the French, with the connivance of
the British Government, although the latter as
yet only employ Coolies in their own planta
tions, procured and transported they best know
how. Much information is afforded on this
subject from papers recently transmitted by
me rresKiem io iuo ocuaic, m regara to Afri
can and Coolie laborers. Among other docu
ments is a late letter from Mr. Mason, oar
Minister to France. It appears that to an in
quiry of Us address to Count Walewskl, thht
Minister replied that there was "no truth In
the statements In the English newspapers, thht
the French vessels freighted with African em
igrants would be regarded by British cruisers
as engaged in me Airican siave traae." ioe
good Count enlarged very much upon tbe phyii
ical and moral improvement of which the emi
grants would have the benefit in fact, tbnt
they weoM become humacized and Christian
ized by being placeS in contact with tbe Eng
lish colonists wbo, we suppose, will naturally
think more of these objects than of raisirir
aagar and coffee, though it ought to be said
that the French in their famous West India
colonies of old times were distinguished amorg
other nations, tbe Englisa not excepted, fur
their superior humanity to their slaves.
Upon this ebowin;, Mr. Mason, it seenvi.
feels confident, as well he may
" Tbat in future we will see fanatical de
nunciation ef American slavery greatly mod
erated, if not silenced, In France perhaps In
England. He adda that it is quite evident lbs
conviction is gaining strength, both in England
and France, that the corapuliory emaDcipition
of slaves In their tropical colonies by author
ity of their governments; was a grave political
eiror an error unjust to the colonists, whose
rights of property were destroyed, and to the
colonies by the annihilation of the labor which
mads them productive, without securing any
compensating benefit."
In fact, if these are the Ideas which are en
tertained and which are gaining. currency In
France and England, it is evident enough, that
the sentiment of negrophilism is sensibly
abated and the course of Abolitionism is draw
leg .to a close, ipstead of hastening to Its ex
pected millennium. Our own philosopher!
drew their chief sympathy and encouragement
from the philanthropic spirits, that is, the
chief radicals of France aad England. What
will ihev do now? This Is of little conse-
anencej but we hope one result will be, that
is people whom they have led bo blindly away
will begin to exhibit a Utile more patriotic emo
tion toward their own country, nor forget her
best Interests, in their devotion to tbe cause of
tbe human race In general.
- .LOCAL MATTERS.
RtvKn. The officers of the Boom, which
cam? up yesterday, inform us tbat a rise of 2

General Twigos Convicted. It will be
seen by our telegraphic column that General
Twigos was convicted before the Court-Mar
tlal, at Newport, Ky., of " insubordinate con.
duct," The President, however, on account of
bis distingulshel services, in approving of the
sentence, remits the reprimand to which tbe
General was sentenced.
- Fxank A. DcVal, of the Panola Star,

to solicit subscriptions and advertisements
from bur business men. The Star is pub
lished in'one of tbe wealthiest regions of Mis
slssippl in which it will be advantageous to
merchants and tradesmen to make known their
business.
Tbe impression has preva iled with many
that out friend L. J. DoraEE, Esq., is the au
thor of tbe article commenting on the meeting
in tbe Eighth Ward, and which was replied to
by Michael Magevenet, E;q., In the Ar
PEAL- It Is due to truth to s(atethat Mr. Do

A Hakd Case. The police arrested an
Irishman yesterday at noon, at tbe corner of
Shelby and Union streets, wbere he had been
guilty of disgusting condoct. So averse was
the man to face tbe representative of justice,
that be fought desperately against tbe officers.
He was at length lodged in jail, but the officers
bad not a few rips and scratches Inflicted
during tbe conflict.
The Weather. The weather yesterday was
tbe warmest tbls season, according to the
indications of tbe thermometer ; a delicious
breeze, however, prevailed, which made tbe
day very agreeable. At 7 o'clock in the
morning the thermomete stood at 72 in
the shade. On the previous day tie
thermometer stood, at 7 a. m. 65,
.,82,9 t. m.j 72. This offers a great
contrast to the weather of Tuesday, when, at
the bours above mentioned, the thermometer
was no higher than 54, 57 and 56.
Sentenced. At the Circuit Court, Panola
county, Mississippi, A. B. Hcdjon, was two or
three days ago, found guilty of boras stealing
and sentenced to fifteen years' imprissnmenL
Aa this man bad killed three men before tbe
commission of this last crime and escaped pun
ishment, we suppose the present sentence is an
infliction to punish tbe man for not having
kill tbe owner of tbe horse. It be bad done
tbat, be would, no doubt, have gone free to
continue Indulging bis taste for providing em
ployment for undertakers. Tbe Panola Court
set six days, bat the.above was tbe only case in
which there was a conviction.
The Abt or Fencixg. Among all the ex-
ercies wbich reason has suggested or experi
ence taught, for tbe development of the physi
cal frame, none can be more highly recom
mended than the art of fencing. It is a manly
exercise, and at tbe same time It is an accom
pliehment upon which any gentleman might
pride himself. Its use Is not confined merely
to a defense of the person, but.it is promotive
of health as well as a graceful and manly de
meanor. Tbe dancing master may do much
to impart grace and elegance to tbe carriage.
but it is the fencing master or drill sergeant
who must complete tbe job by giving polish to
the whole bearing and demeanor.
iapt. XjPward uekeu, wno comes te our
city highly recommended as an adept and pro-
fieent in bis art, has a class of some fifteen at
present, some of whom have made great pro
gress in acqtiring a knowledge of the science,
The editor of tbe Charleston reinc Nevt, wbo
Is himself an accomplished fencer, says that
Capt. DeReu is "certainly a master ef
bis art and an accomplished professor of the
science of fence. He Is one of a very few,
whom we have met, to whom we could accord
this deserved commendation."
We would suggest to tbe young men and
youths of our city the propriety of spendicg
a portion or tneir evenings at tbe Academy of
Capt. DeReu. They will never regret in after
life tbe time and money spent In the aequlsi
Uon of an art'so useful, and one wbich brings
with it so many graces and accomplishments.

upon me subject, I am Individually opposed
to moving the depot to the river. But whilst
entertaining mis optnten, If honored with the
office of Mayor, I would not hesitate to coo-
lorm my action to me Known wisnes of a ma
jority of the people of tbe city, though it might
bs in conflict with my own private views,
have no wish or dslre to embarrass the com.
merce and productions seeking to pass through
the city, further tban is necessary for tbe pro
tection of our own people, and should a ma
jority of tbe people desire a branch road lead
ing from tbe depot to tbe river, with proper
guards and restrictions, I should Interpose no
objection as Mayor. Respectfully,

I sometime ago stated In your paper that tbe
East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad would
be finished by the 1st day pf-Jnne. I take
pleasure now in saying that tbe last spike will
be driven down to-day (Friday,) and a train of
cars will pass there from Knoxvllle to Bristol.
Memphis is at last connected with tbe North
ern cities by a direct line of railroad, and tbe
State of Tennessee more firmly united with tbe
Old Dominion. Tbe character of country
through wblcb this line of roads passes, and
the directness of the route, must at once com
mand an Immense travel. Tbe pleasure-seeker
and the Invalid need no tooger look to tbe
White Mountains or Saratoga for a summer re
sort, whin tbey can, by railroad, reach tbe
magnificent mountains and delightful watering
places of the South. Respectfully,

The river continues to swell here, and ba
risen altogether fourteen inches since Tuesday
evening. The weather continues fair,-and
growing wanner each day.
The Mississippi is reported as rising ripMty
at Cape Giradeau, from the heavy rains wblcb
have fallen throughout tbat section. The quan

singers. From her polite clerk, Mr. Archer,
we learn that on Tuesday night tbe Ohio, at
Louisville, was rising at the rate of three feet
In twenty-four hoars. Tbe Wabash is also
reported to bs higher than any other time since

The Daniel Boone left VIcksburg on Wed
nesday, at 1 oclock, made sixty landings, lost
four hours running time, and arrived here at 2
o'clock on Friday morning. She made an un
usually quick trip, and run out of sight of
V icksburg In six minutes. She left at 2 o'cock
last evening for Napoleon, and will return on
Monday, ami leave at 6 o'clock that evening
for her regular vicksburg trip.
The old favorite mail packet, Kate Frlsbee,
left at 3 o'clock yesterday for Napoleon, with
a fair trip of freight and passengers. The
Boone bantered her for a race, but she did not
accept the challenge.
New Orleans freights are reported as very
scarce along tbe Ohio, and several packets
have laid up at New Albany, Indiana.
The Louisville Courier ot Wednesday says :
The river, as we predicted, is rising with al
most unexampiea rap'dlty, and the falls to-day
will be abundantly navigable for anv sized
boats. Last evening at the head of the falls
me river was rising at me rate of an inch and
a half per hour, while at Portland the river
bad risen five and a half feet in 24 bours. On
me raits last evening there was nearly nine
feet water in the Indian chute, fully six feet in
the middle chute, and the Chattanooga came
up the Kentneky chute, Inside of tbe island,
while the Cincinnati chute is wholly neglected.
Tbe weather, as usual of late, was rainy, but
in the evening it turned quite cold, with symp-
luian vi clearing on.
The rains have been tremendous everywhere,
and at Rock Haven, ten miles below the month
of Salriver, tbe river Monday nigbt rose five
feet in six hours. Old Salt was nourin? out a
perfect flood ot waters, and a freshet may be
expeeteu in me unto from rittsburgu to me
mouth.
Tbe Wabaeb is out over Its banks and all tbe
railroads In Indiana submerged In places, thus
checking and cutting off the railroad travel for
the present.
The river, however, may be set down as being
in an excellent navigable condition, and me
river travel just now is the most expeditious, as
wen as pleasant, tnat could be made.
If the rise in the Ohio overtakes the Missis
slppi flood before it subsides, the lower country
win nave a slim cbance of escape from ruin
ana aevastation.
