The Recent Railroad Convention
at Memthis.—While at Memphis, last
week, we attended the Railroitd Conven
tion. A synopsis of the proceedings will
be found in our columns, which embodies
the first and second series of resolutions
reported by the committee to whom was
referred, and re-referred, the task of giv
ing expression to the desires of the con
vention. That there is a fixed determi
nation on the part of many of our Mem
phis friends to build a railroad from St.
Louis to Memphis, without regarding the
route most beneficial to Arkansas, no one
can doubt who will read the resolutions
published. The route from the Missouri
line West of Crawley’s Ridge, thence to
Helena, is not only the most feasible, but
the people of the different counties inter
ested should urge upon the next Legisla
ture the folly of placing in the hands of
land speculators even the right of way
through a section of country that benefits
the few to the injury of the great mass
of the people.
Onr H fi'toml-s nrwl n t linen tvltn
feel an interest in the route west of Craw
ley’s Ridge, are indebted to J. C. O.
Smith, Esq., for the firm stand he took
and maintained in their behalf. Through
his suggestions, mainly, the first report of
the committee was not received, and the
second underwent several changes and
modifications before it was adopted.
Levee Convention.—We learn from
the Vicksburg Southern Sun that the levee
convention which convened in that city on
the 7th inst., resolved that a general sys
tem of cut-offs commencing at the mouth
of the Mississippi river and made wherev
er practicable as far as Cairo was condu
cive to the success of the levee system.
It was furthermore resolved that the Leg
islatures of the State of Mississippi and
Louisiana be petitioned to repeal the laws
on their Statute Books against the making
of the cut-offs.
The convention adjourned to meet again
in that city on the first Tuesday in Febru
ary 1860.
Judge Black is out with another
overwhelming article, overthrowing com
pletely the last effort of Judge Douglas.
This is Judge Black’s third.article which
ho has written on sovereignty in the ter
ritories, and it is boldly asserted tliul no
“public paper, whether pamphlet, speech,
essay or report ever went out from Wash
ington and received such universal appro
bation from the people and the press as
these articles have received.”
Masonic Grand Lodge.—The follow
ing are the officers for the next year:
E. H. Enrrlish. Grand Master.
Henry K. Brown, G. S. VV.
J. F. Hill, G. J. VV.
VV. F. Leake, G. Lecturer.

Mississippi State Fair.—The Jack
son Eagle, of the 14th, says:
The regular annual Fair of the State
commenced to-day. The weather is pro
pitious, and thousands of people are in
attendance. It bids fair to be a superb
exhibition, and the contributions of all ,
kinds are in a large number. To-morrow
the display will be in good earnest, and,
from all uppearances, it will be an occa
sion suitable to the pride and wealth of a ,
noble commonwealth.

Mississippi Legislature. — This '
body was regularly organized on Monday,
the 7th inst., by the election of the lion.
James Drane as President of the Senate,
and Hon. J. A. P. Campbell as Speaker
of the House of Representatives. F. T.
Cooper, Esq., of Lawrence, was elected
Secretary of the Senate, C. A. Brougher,
of Tippah, Clerk of the House.
--
The United States Senate.—The
Washington Constitution, of the 1 Ith
inst., says:
Throughout the Capitol the note of busy
preparation for the coming session of Con
gress has been heard, although as yet Hie
arrangements are incomplete. In the
hall of the House of Representatives the
new carpeting is nearly laid, the heavy
iron seats introduced instead of the desks
are in place. This new arrangement
will bring the House into a compact form,
more directly under the eye of the Speak
er, and have the effect of expediting pub
lic business. Large oaken tables, hand
somely ornamented, have been placed in
the vacant spaces left by the removal of
the desk on each side of the tribune oc
cupied by the presiding officer. These
are to be furnished for the purpose, and i
will, it is beiieved, suffice for all the vvri- ■,
ting that members n</ed to do duriug the !
session of the House. The inner floor j1
has been arranged with appertures of lat- j
lice-work in form of each seat for the ad- ,
mission of fresh air in the uew system of j;
ventilation. The same arrangement has!
been made in the floor of the Senate;
chamber.
We notice that bemath the towering
cast of “Freedom” intended to sur-1
mount the new dome (now in the old hall 1
of the House of Representatives) there j
has been lately placed a small bust of the
lamented sculptor Crawford, whose genius
has left behind him so many glorious
concept! jus iiubodied in stone.

Wji. Hoi mks, ®
Secretary of Committee. h
Messrs. Smith and Morrill, of the Ar- P
causa s delegation, made some Inquiry as
o the probable operation of the proposed fl
■oail with reference to the city of Helena. 0
Col. Tale explained that the committee o:
in recommending the direct St. Louis 11
oad, had no idea oi offering or raising a,
toy opposition to other roads or termini. c

EVEN'INO SESSION,
The Convention having reassembled, the
Committee to whom was referred the res
olutions embodying the sense of the Con
vention, through their chairman, Mr.
Holmes, reported them buck for action.
Pending the resolutions, Mr. Holmes,
of St. Louis, took the lloor and spoke at
length in support of them, afed was follow
ed by
Mr. Mitchell, of St. Louis, who like
wise advocuted their adoption.
The question on the adoption of the re
solutions was put, and they were unani
mously adopted, as follows:
Resolved, That a Railroad, connecting St.
Louis with New Orleans, is a want of the
times,the early completion of which i< ro
rjuiredto furnish proper facilities for tire trans
action of business, and a quick route for
travel.
Resolved. That an air-line Railroad between
points, is the most economical in operation,
and the most advantageous to commerce, and
that practically, such a line Way be obtained
between the cities of St Louis and New Or
leans.
Resolved, That the city of Memphis is an
important' pointon the line of such a road,
!which should be steadily kept in view, and that
her cooperation would greatly contribute to
the success of such an enterprise.
Resolved, That Helena and the country west
of Crawley’s Ridge, are desirable connec
tions for St. Louis, and should not be lost
sight of or disregarded in determining the lo
cation of. the road.
Resolved, That by extending the Iron Moun
tain Railroad to the southern boundary line of
the State, at a proper point. St. Louis will se
cure the advantages of the most direct connec
tions by railroad with Memphis, Helena, and
the eastern Mississippi valley south of that
boundary line.
Resolved, That such a line of railroad be
tween St. Louis and New Orleans, involving
confessedly, the largest interests of the Mis
sissippi valley, in its north and south direc
tion, would concentrate upon itself an amount
of means fully adequate to Us speedy construc
tion, and that in the opinion of this Conven
tion, no other projected line of railroad, uni
ting the two cities can command the sarine sup
port, or combine so great advantage.
Resolved, That this Convention, through a
competent committee, collect and issue, in an
authentic report, all necessary information
shedding light upon the propositions of the
foregoing resolutions, for the purpose of pre
senting the same to the Logislatuio of Mis
souri at its approaching session, to induce that
body to extend liberal aid tothe Iron Moun
tain Railroad in its effort to reach a more
southern terminus, it appearing to the satis
faction of this Convention, that the portion of
the contemplated line of railroad lying within
tile bounds of Missouri alone remains to be
provided tor to insure the accomplishment of
this grand design—an air-line railroad from
St Louis to New Orleans, by the extension of
he Iron Mountain Railroad.
The following preamble anti resolutions
were subsequently adopted:
Whereas, The most direct, practical, inde
pendent railroad route connecting the cities
jf Memphis and New Orleans, is proper to be
.ousidered at this time, Therefore

pointed by the Chair, charged with the duty
jf collecting the information contemplated by
.he Report of the Committee, to be embodied
hi pamphlet form and laid before the Legis
ature of Missouri at tUp earliest day practi
;aole.
Resolved, That the delegates to this Con
tention representing the interest south from
he Missoni i line via Memphis, pledge them
ie!ve . that so, soon as the State of Missouri
las indicated, in a decisive manner, its intuit
ion to proceed w-ith the extension of the Iron
Mountain Railroad to the southern boundary
ine of the State, and shall have located the
lame, they will undertake the immediate loca
ion and construction of that portion of the
oad lying between Memphis and the Missouri
ine, and will meet the iron Mountain liail
•oad on that line, thus completing the great
dr-lino road from St. Louis to New Orleans.
Resolved, That this Convention recommend
he propriety of immediately adopting mea
iures for building the Yazoo Valley, or Panola
fli anch Railroad, connecting on the north with
he Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad at
nine convenient point, and on the south at
danton, with the New Orleans and Great
Northern Rhilroad.

Tub First Gun for tiie Great
Eastern . — The Portland Advertiser
lays:
The residents in the eastern part of
mrcny were Qisturoea early on Monday
norning last by a signal gun off the en- \
ranee of our harbor. Those having faith .
n the early appearance of the Great <
Eastern, arose, dressed, and ran to their
louse-tops and attics, thinking the long
ixpected steamer had come ; others were
aithless, waiting snugly in bed for the
iecond, which did not come. The gun (
)roved to be a signal gun from the New e
fork steamer, which left New York Sat- s

Omen C. Sc F. 11. It. Company, ^ t
Little Rock, Nov. 4, 1859. y
It appears, by a report made to this s
jmpany, by the auditor, that he has made
ual examination of the proofs filed in
is office by parties claiming the right to ;
irehase any lands of the Cairo & Fulton j
ilroad company, at two dollars and ,
ty cents per acre, under the provisions '
the second and third sections of the act :
the General Assembly of Arkansas, ;
rproved November 126, 1S-56 ; and had •
iproved and allowed sundry of such <
aims, whereby the right of such claim- ;
3is’ purchase oi lands was affirmed.
The attention of all parties whose \
aims have been thus allowed, is invited !
i the provisions of the fourth section of
le act before referred to :
“Sec. 4. Said claimant shall, after three
lonths, or as soon thereafter as said compa-1
y shall be in a condition to make title, pay!
> said company the consideration of said j
ind, as hereinbefore provided : whe eupon he j
iall be entitled to receive from said company i
deed for the same ; but in case of failure to
le said proof or pay said consideration uni
fy. within the respective times specified, the
ight to make such purchase shall cease.”
And notice is hereby given—that this !
ornpany having acquired title to all of

M. BRYAN, President.
F. A. Staring, Secretary.
The Selma Courier, speaking of
Brown’s maps, says :
The people of Selma, Mount Meigs,
Kingston and other localities in Alabama,
marked with "crosses,” on Brown’s map,
ought to investigate closely and ascertain
as far as possible what communication has
been held with their slaves, by Free
Soil emissaries. To us the epidemic of
gin house burning looks as if it might
have some connection with the instruc
tions given by Brown and his followers to
destroy property. In any event, closest
scrutiny can do no harm.
Convicted.—George W. Oliver, a wealthy
planter, noar Oxford, Mississippi, was con
victed recently in the Circuit Court, of man
slaughter, for killing one of his negroes on
the 17th of March last.
