The farm that has a ' itnu.l r Idi.tin.- ihrnitfh nf In il. s.-iil afli! 0iher tliinp-? beinir piitial, is lliree 'iinrs , IIlore vhIu.iIiIp than tlie one that can onlv ap,roached by a break neck eow trail. Everv farmer knows this, and vet no soon .1 ii 1 rrnnniillnn mnrle lo imnrnve the roads, or to lav off and construct such ones as will be passable at all limes, than it is met by a most serious opposition, and that too nl the hands of Ihe people who are to be most benefined by Ihe contemplated ini provements. Two years ago the Legisla ture passed an act authorizing the con struction of a good road front Alliens lo Tellico Plains, in Monroe couniy, from which point there is a first class thorough fare extending into NorthCarolina, tapping some ten or twelve counties. Commis sioners were appointed, a survey made and it is said a practicable route obtained. This however was no sooner done than the cry of opposition was raised by some wise men who never take the trouble to look beyond their own barnyards, and the whole matter was dropped and allowed to take "the sleep that knows no waking." And thus the people of a large extent of fertile country are in a measure cut off from the advantages of the Railroad. And for what? Because a few men thought that il might be of more odvantage to the people of one section than to themselves, nan tuey taken the trouble to look into the subject a little they would have come to quite a dif ferent conclusion. We have been induced to refer to the mailer at this time, hy the enquiry being repeatedly made, whv we did not say something about the Tellico Road. We have already published several articles about it, but they appear to have fallen upon the ears ofthoee for whom they were intended with but lillle impression. We would publish article after article il we thought it would have the desired effec'. But all the wriiins we can do won't make the road. We can but call public attention to the sul ject and urge its importance. Those interested must press it throtish. A good and direct road Irom this point to the Norih Carolina line would secure the trade from some ten or twelve counties in thnt direction, and lo a greater or less ex tent benefit every farmer along the whole .. . i in. I route. To suppose inai goou puunc hiehw.y running tbroush or by a planta tion will injure it, is preposterous. We aaain earnestly invite ihe aiteniion of the people to the subject particularly the citi zens of Athens. The trade and travel it would bring here would add no little to the business of the place, and is worth an effort. If we don't make that ef fort, it will be diverted to seme other point ,t, rt.lrnad. Let us at least have good wagon road il ooihing more.

The political complexion of these dis tricts is, probably, 13 whig, 10 democratic, and 2 doubtlul for the Senate, and 33 whig and 37 democratic, for the House of Rep resentatives. The Washington Correspondent of Ihe Boston Courier writing with nn air of au thority, says that "Mr. Webster will not withdraw from the cabinet, as has been af firmed. The present state of foreign rela tions demands hit presence at Washington and it is tho desire of the prominent men of all parlies that lie should remain. Mr. Webster himsoif feel that, however desire ab'e reiirini"nt would be to him, this is not Ihe moment to withdraw from the gov ernment.
