LETTER FROH LAUDERDALE.
Double Biiidoes, "i
LAUDERDALE Co., TEBNEtSEE, Feb. 2S, 1BC9.
Bince writing lay letter at Covington I
have traveled upwards of sixty miles
through Tipton and Lauderdale counties,
and have been present at two large and
respectable meetings of the oltizsns of
the latter, called in the interest if the
Mississippi River Bsilroad. At these
meetings a fair opportunity has been
afforded of judging of the men who own
and cultivate the soil of Lauderdale, and
who have made the county what it is In
wealth and Intelligence. Isolated as
they are from the great stream and cur
rent of humanity without railroad or
telegraphic communication, and denied
the postal facilities that before the wtr
they enjoyed it was a surprise to find
these men eo far advanced in knowledge
of whatis needed to a complete devel
opment of their country and possessed of
a spirit and energy for modern improve
ment that indexed an uncontrollable
eagerness for the railroad and all that it
will bring to them. Two or three out of
so many nunurea opposed tne scheme
captiously, but these were overborne by
their neighbors and friends, and suc
cumbed with what grace they could. to
the inevitable destiny forced by the In
dustry of Mr. Mitchell, and in epite of
the feeble opposition of the Memphis
'ring." At Durhamville, a very
pleasantly Eituated town, but
consisting of not more than half a
dozen houses, a meeting was held in the
school-house of Mr. Thompson, and was
presided over by Mr. Hardin J. Tur
ner, one of tbe most Influential gentle
men of the neighborhood, as peculiar for
bis mental attainments as for his phy
sique, whicn is mat or a large ana pow
erful man. He Is a philosopher in tbe
real sense of the term. A constant and
steady, if not a profound thinker, a close
reaioner, and a good " talker," with a
capacious memory ; you may well im
agine him one of the most sociable of
men and the best of companions. He
was just the man for the situation.
Briefly reciting the objects of the meet
ing, he introduced the speaker and took
his seat. His presence and position as
chairman inspired the friends of tbe
measure with confidence, and justly so,
since the result was a unanimous
conclusion in favor of the Missis-
ippl Kiver Bailro&d. Myself and
companion spent that (Thursday) night
at Mr. Turner's house, and most enjoy
ably. The annals of "West Tennessee
were repeated to us, and anecdote after
anecdote, illustrative of the lives of the
pioneer worthies, most of whom have
long blnce been laid away at rest. The
history of the bar of Lsuderdale was
given us, and its members painted to
tbe life; preachers and thoir mission
were discussed, ana doctrinal points,
with a quaint gravity that no
character that I have ever rsad of or met
with could Illustrate for your apprecia
tion. We left our philosopher with
much regret, and mado the journey to
this place, twenty-three miles, by night
fall of Friday, stopping on the way for
Gen. William Conner, so well known
through the length and breadth of the
State. At this thriving village we were
met by more than one hundred and fifty
of the respectable, hardy and industrious
yeomanry of this part of Lauderdale.
The meeting was held at the Presby
terian Church, and notwithstanding the
cold weather that prevailed, tho speak
ers were listened to with marked atten
tion and the best possible result only
one of all those present dissenting from
support of the railroad. At tke close
of tho meeting, and in a few minutes,
we return to Gen. Conner's, where wo
remain until Monday, when wo attend
tho.meeting of the County Court at B'p-
ley, and will urge the subsidy of the
road, already proposed.
Wherever I have traveled, 1 am happy
to say, I have met none but friends of
Ihe APPEAL. In many Instances sub
scribers of twenty years' or more prof
fered klndneeses and congratulations
that the old newspaper that for so many
years had carried the history of tbe
times into their households, was flourish
ing, and likely to flourish long after they
and the writer were miugllDg with
kindred dust. The interest thus mani
fested in the paper was, you may be sure,
a passport to my heart, and is something
to be treasured. At this place quite a
club of subscribers was made up for our
WEEKLY,and more was promised when I
reach Kipley. The uncompromising at
titude of the Appeal on all questions
affecting the welfare of the people was
the theme of its supporters In this re
glon.
In traveling through Lauderdale I
havo been astonished at the immense
quantity and variety of merchantable
timber that on every hand awaits the
coming of tbe railroad to find buyers
and a market. Not the least of the val
ues of tbe county, even under present
disadvantages, it must become, with the
Mississippi River Railroad to carry it
North or Sjuth, a source of Immense
profit to the people and revenue to the
State. Oak, poplar, walnut, hickory
and gum are in great abundance, and of
a growth that mmt insure to the owners
fortunes from those alone. In conversa
tions with many of the largest property
owners, I found a disposition prevalent
to encourage Immigration by such sub
divisions of land as will suit, not alone
those of tbe people of the Northern States
who desire to settle here, but tbe hardy
thousands who are leaving Europe for
homes and Independence in the West
How many of these can be accommo
dated in Lauderdale county it would be
difficult to compute. You con, however,
havo some idea, when you know that
not one-fonrth of all the lands are under
cultivation, The want of a means of
communication, such as tbe Mississippi
River Railroad will afford, ha3 operated
as a seal to close to tbe outside world
these millions of acres of the best lands
is the State of Tennessee. In order to
reach Memphis by tho river, tbe Missis
sippi bottom, nearly eight mlleg In ex
tent, has to be traversed, with many
riskB of stalling and utter break down.
In the other direction, towards the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad, the roads
are longer and In some places still
more diflloult ; Indeed, for many months
in the year, Brownsvillo and Mason's or
Ball's depot, are inaccessible. By the
proposed road, passing up to Cairo,
all this trouble ' and trial will
be obviated. At the most distant
point in its whole length, the
line will reach within ten miles of the
Mississippi, generally within seven, and
within nine miles of the Ohio road.
With such facilities as these two great
highweys can afford, and the shorter
and better county and public roads that
will be made and krptin good repair,
there can be no doubt of the future of
the garden spot of Tennessee. Immi
erauts will Dour in in answer to the
hearty invitation of a hospitable, warm
hearted people : acres now lying Idle and
uncultivated for want of men to work
them will then answer back to the labor
of willtiiK bands the most bounteous of
harvests. Memphis will no longer be
compelled to look to Illinois and
the far. west for butter, eggs, pota
toes, flour, chickens, hay, and
other essentials to life. These
will all be raised in abundance up hero
in Lauderdale, in Tipton, Dyer, Obion
aud Hardeman ; and, by the new rail
road, will find quick transit to our mar
ket, and there be purchased by the hun
dreds whose business they make it to
retail these necessaries to the needy
thousands. Gentlemen of wealth in
this section are alive to the changes that
are taking place, and that will be forced
by the railroad, and are making prepa
tions to avail themselves of them. They
speak of factories cotton and woolen
and already have projected at Ripley
what promises to be the largest flouring
mill in tbo State. But of this I will
write you when I reach that point. I
make my hearty acknowledgments to
the people of Lauderdale for many kind
nesses and unbounded hospitality, and
a thousand kind wishes and eflbrls for
the success of tho Appeal. j. m. k.
LETTER FROH RIPLEY, TENN.
BlfXJEY, LAUDIKDALK COUNTT, TEW.,
March 1,1869.
We enjoyed the generous hospitality
of Gen. William Conner Saturday
night and Sunday, and, at his attractive
home-place, met a number of leading
gentlemen of this and Tipton and Hay
wood counties, all of whom we found
hearty supporters of the Mississippi River
Railroad. Early on Monday morning
we started for this pleasant town and
airlred here about eleven o'clock. At
twelve the Railroad meeting was called
to order in the Presbyterian Church,
and Mr. Mitchell Immediately com
menced his explanation of the chart
of his Railroad, fur which I found
the people clamorous. His speech
extended over two houis, and was
replete with every argument that
could be adduced in favor of the great
enterprise. His audience of over one
hundred and fifty persons, wero attentive
listeners, frequently applauding and gen
erally acquiescing in all tho points he so
ably elucidated. Dr. Lea, President of
the Tennessee C antral Railroad, some
day, perhaps, to run from Fulton,
on the Mississippi river, to Nash
ville, was tho only out-spoken op
ponont that Mr. .Mitchell encoun
tered, and what ho Bald was so evidently
suggested in the Interest of his own en
terprise that bis remarks were rather
beneficial than otherwise. After the
close of tho meeting, dismissed by Mr,
M. with a pungent reply to Dr. Lea, the
magistrates assembled, and upon a thor
ough official investigation of the plans
and prospects of the Company, a vote
was called for, Judge Thompson leading
off with an affirmative that was followed
by ten others, leaving but two negatives
out of thirteen magistrates present. In
accordance with this very decisive vote
an order was entered that Lauderdale
county subscribe 150,000 to the capital
stock of the Mississippi River Railroad,
payable in five annual instalments of
S30.C00 each, to be certified to by tbe
County Judge and the Clerk of the Court.
This complied with we left, and with
such evidence of the good will of the
people of Ripley for the Appeal as
twenty subscribers can afford.
In passing through this county from
Double Bridges to Ripley, we met up
with a great many of its well-to-do peo
ple, some of whom were quite anxious
in regard to tbe possibilities of litigation
with Shelby county on the part of " the
ring," with a view to break down and
ruhi tbe enterprise they have sought In
so many ways to control. Yonr corres
pondent was not long in tracing such
rumors to their source. Emanating
from that well of malice whence has is
sued so much that is unjust towards this
corporation and its officers, it was, you
may be assured, very thoroughly neu
tralized by tbe testimony of two or three
Memphians present, and several influ
ential citizens whose frequent corres
pondence With Memphis, eaablcs them
to be posted as to her affairs and public
sentiment within her limits. The prob
ability of "the ring" engaging in any
thing of the kind was denied, and the
possibility of any other number of cltl
zna of Memphis embarking in an at
tempt to inflict damage upon a railroad
that promises so much for our city,
was derided. I mention this merely
to show to your readers the extent
to which tho persons who want to pos
sess themselves of the Mississippi River
Rtilroad have gone to break down the
integrity and standing of the officers and
stockholders. After the above emphatic
endorsement of the people of Lauder
dale, wo do not again expect to hear of
movements so unworthy persons of sense
and character. If your correspondent
has learned anything by this brief trip
to Tipton and Lauderdale, it is that the
people are enthusiastic in their desire
for communication with Memphis, by
the Mississippi River Railroad ; and the
man or men, who for selfish pur
pose, would interfere, In the slightest
way, with the furtherance of the present
project to that end can but be viewed
ai enemies to the progress and welfare
of our young and thriving city.
Ripley promises to be a place of impor
tance. The citizens are publio spirited
and energetio, andonly await the com
ing of the Railroad to onter upon a
career of almost unexampled prosperity.
A new court-house is now in course of
construction, and a large flouring mill
will shortly be la operation.
A cotton mill is talked of as among
tho possibilities In the near future and
thrifty and enterprising farmers of tho
vicinity are preparing for the mpletlon
cf the railroad by the establishment of
nurseries and orchards and the organiza
tion of an agricultural and horticultural
society. As an earnest of their dispo
sition In this respect I am credibly in
formed that, notwithstanding a defective
postal service, agricultural papers arc
well patronized and a thriving business
already established, in the sale of seeds
and fruit trees of all kinds. Cotton, the
farmers of Tipton and Lauderdale
promise, is to be a surplus crop. Wheat
Is engaging their attention ; and corn
and stock share largely. After they
have prepared for their "homes and
hearths " they will look up something
for the peoplo of the cities and towns to
whom they are naturally tributary.
Pears from this vicinity sold last year in
Chicago for 313 per bushel and apples $9,
and other fiuita in like proportion;
while snaps, squashes, potatoes
and other vegetables brought prices
equally favorable to the grower.
These are facts not to be forgotten and
that have bad a marked effect Ih quick
ening the enterprising spirit of this peo
ple. Dr. Allston and Mr. Given, of
Fulton, are preparing to enter largely
into the business of fruit and vegetable
growing for foreign markets, and have
flattering prospects of realizing hand
somely from it.
I make my acknowledgements for
many courtesies and kindnesses to Gen.
Conner and the members of his accom
plished family ; to Sheriff Slaughter,
of Tipton, Sheriff Wardlaw, of Lau
derdale, and nis deputies, Belote and
McAlabe, the former of whom proved
himself a warm friend of the Appeal.

CIHffESE-AMEItlCAS PIRATE.
An American Vessel
Seized by
Coolies.
Some months since, our readers will
rsmember, the Admiral commanding cur
Asiatic equaaron received information
that a merchant bark named Cayolti
had put into Hakodadi nnder very pecu
liar circumstance?. It was supposed she
was a pirate, sailing unuer American
colors. The Admiral accordinclv di

Rear Admiral S.C. Rowan, Commanding Asi-
Sir: I have the honor to report that in
obedience te your orders of October 22. I
proceeded to Hakodadi, where
I arrived on the afternoon of the 1st of
JNovemoer. Tne following morning I
visited the birk Cayolti, In company
with the United States Consul, and gave
her a thorough overhauling, which re-
suiieu in me discovery or ner sea letter,

board one United States flag and an
Jbuglien and bpanish ensien. A China.
man who had been on board of her some
two or three years stated that during
that time she had always sailed under
tne American uig. .Having satisfied
myself that she had undoubtedly been
usiug our uuiura, j. oegan an investiga
tion of the Chinaman, to arrive, if possi
oie, at some 01 tne facte, and solve the
great mys'.ery connected with the affair,
ine vessel cleared irom Uallao on the
i&tn 01 January last, and sailed for Pas-
camayo and other ports in the north of
trexu, navmg received on board, from
the snip iiperanza and another vessel
then lying in the harbor, some forty
eight Chineoe coolies. On the mornin
oi tne mini day out, the Chinese, armed
with hatchets and spades, rusned on
deck and drove the mate and watch
overboard ; they then lowered the boat
anu uispatcned them while struggling in
tne water, and returning, hoisted the
boat, ine watcn below were then
brought on deck, and all but the cantaln
and his Chinese servants were made fast
to an anchor, which was let go, taklne
uieuj nu it tu me uouom oi me sen.
All the statements agree that the captain
.l ,.n . : . i . . . .
was iiiiaiucu uu cuiiuiuou iiiai ne would
take the vessel to China. There is no
doubt that she brought up on the coast
of Kamascnat&a, or some of tbe islands
in that vicinity; and they were evi
dently In the ice, as they say that some
of the natives came alongside of the ves
sel dressed iu furs, and rode on sledges
drawn by dogs. Besides, a quantitv of
furs was found abiut the vemel and on
the persons of the Chinese. The capper
is likewise torn off in several places. A
fow days after arriving at the island (a3
they call it) the captain, who, up to that
time, had been confined in the mate's
room, was allowed to go on shore for
provisions, taking with him his Chinese
servant. Neither of them returned to
tho bark. A few days after the captain
had left, a gale sprung up which parted
the Chain. Eventually thev brought nn
In Volcano Bay, to the north of Hako
dadi, where they remained for two or
three weeks, and then were piloted into
Hakodadi by two Japanese. After the
investigation 1 ordered a survey usou
the vessel. Finding it impossible to fit
her for a winter voyage to Shanghai, I
overhauled her as thoroughly as possible,
caulked the hatches, moored her securely
and left her In charee of thelTnitwi
States Consul, who reports all the cir
cumstances connected with the case to
Gen. Van Valkenbureh. our Minister tn
Japan. The Japanese authorities agreed
to Kesp charge of the Chinese and lonlr
out for the vessel. From the statement
of the captain of the shin. Dolerea X v.
yarte, bsfore the Governor of Macao, it
would appear that there were $12,000 or
S15.000 on board the Cayolti. About
S1800 in gold and silver were recovered,
and are now In the hands of the United
States Consul at Hakodadi. Bifore leav

A Story about Prince SXeUcrnicb.
A Hungarian paper tells an amusinc
Btory about tho late Prince Metternich.
One morning the Danish ambassador
desired an audience from the Minister.
who ordered his valet to get him the Or-
aer oi tne JMepnant, in which he wished
to receive tne ambassador. The valet
looted through ail tbe minister's orders.
but was unable to discover that of the
Elephant. Time pressed, so the prince
sent in all haste to some brother diplo
matist, and borrowed tho decoration in
question for half an hour or so. This
done, he received the ambassador, his
breast duly adorned with the Danish or
der. The sight of this, however, seemed
to act as an -extraordinary spell unon the
visitor. He could not take his eyes off
iao ouinisier' coar, nesitated in his
speech, and exhibited altogether such
distinct signs of distress that Metternich
could not forbear at last asking him
whether anything had happened to him.
"Nothing," the other replied, greatly
embarrassed, " but just this, that there
must be some exfraordInary mistake in
our book of orders at Copenhagen. I
had begged an audience from von in or
der to decorate you with the Order nf
the Elephant, which we seemed to have
forgotten to bestow upon your excellency

The Slave Trade Ih Esypt.
The Paris Debate reviews an interest
ing account of his voyage to tho two
Nilps, in 1860 and 1864, just written by
M. Gulllaume Lejean. Such a book, the
jjeoais otuerves, is particularly worthy
of remark In France, where a taste for
voyages and for geography is by no
means eeneral, and whoro people readily
believe that Bucharest is the capital of
uoKnara. M. Jbf jean's discoveries as to
the extent to which the slave trade Is
carried on in these regions are especially
valuable. Knartoum, at the northern
extremity of the Great Delta, may be
considered, he tells us, one of the chief
centers of this odious traffic. The deal
ers settled there under pretence of trad
ing in ivory, send out at their own ex
pense small corps d'armee on slave-re
cruiting expeditions among the unhappy
negroes and their wives and children.
From Khartoum the slaves are very
often sent to Massowab, to be transported
tnence by u led an to tne Arabian Denic
sula. M. Ldean calculates that, be
tween IS3S and 1862, about six thousand
slaves a year have been poured into the
.bgypuan territory along the course of
the White river, and that since then this
total has reached tbe enormous figure cf
niteen tnousand. .Uarope nas protested,
but in answer to her remonstrances the
Ejyptitn government contents itself
witn remarking that the traffic is abol
ished by law.
