JUiIetson |ntcUitjtuW. Thursday Morning, Hay 27th, 186& THE GREAT SOUTHERN ROUTE ARB THE HL?E RIDGE EAILROAD.. Tho people of Cincinnati have been much en? gaged for the past several weeks in considering t'.e importance and advantages of the various pro? posed routes for their great Southern connection. Our readers are familiar with the action of the Legislature of Ohio, authorising Cincinnati to bor? row $10,000,000 and construct the contemplated road. The point is and has been, what route will be chosen, and further what connections will be made. The prominent connections are with Chat . tanooga and Knoxville. The latter, if determined upon, will ensure the early completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad, in which great enterprise our peo? ple have an abiding interest. Delegates from the chief railroad centres have visited Cincinnati, pre? sented the claims of their favorite routes, and urged the advantages to be gained by that city ia accepting as the other terminus either Ohatla ne-oga, Knoxville or some other point. These mat? ters are laid before a public meeting, composed of the railroad committees of the Ciiy Council, Cham? ber of Commerce -and Board of Trade, and the sev? eral meetings already held have excited public in - terest to a considerable extent. On Saturday, 15th instant, was the largest meeting that ha<j yet occurred in connection with this question, and among the gentlmen present we observe the names of Oov. Scott, of South Carolina; J. B. Lafittk and S. 0 Tkott, of Charleston; Gen. J. W. Hab bison, President, and Col. j. P. Lows, Chief Engi? neer of the Blue Ridge Railroad. Several of them made speeches in advocacy of the route to Knox? ville, to form a direct connection with the Blue Ridge Railroad and the city of Charleston, but our limited space will only admit the publication of Gen. Hariusos's remarks, which we find reported in the Cincinnati Gazette: He spoke of the evidences of prosperity that he saw in Ohio. The business, the railroads and shipping of Cincinnati had far exceeded his ex? pectations. He alluded to the early efforts to get ? a connection between Cincinnati and Charleston. There was then a mutual'understanding between nine States on the railroad question. There were inducements that entered into public transactions that could not be disregarded. He could not charge Cincinnati with bad faith, if she failed to make the road to Knoxville, but certainly South Carolina had gone on with her system, upon the supposition that Cincinnati could meet them. A railroad connection had been made with Co? lombia, at a cost of $3,000,000. Besides this the State has expended $2,500,000. on other roads with the same ultimate purpose? making in aU $7,500,000 of railway expenditures, hoping to reach Cincinnati and the inexhaustible resources of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys. Had we sufficient reason to hope that could we reach Knoxville you would meet us there ? Will you now turn back upon us ? He then spoke of other railway connections south and southwest of Knoxville and described the great mineral resources of the valley of North Carolina. He spoke of the railway meeting at Augusta, - Ga., held within a few days, that resolved to build, at once, a connection with the Blue Ridge road. This will afford a route for Cincinnati to Atlanta shorter than any other. The State of South Carolina has built nnd pro? jected a perfect net work of railways, thatwill give Cincinnati a direct communication with Charleston and Savannah. The speaker said that, instead of attempting to tell Cincinnati what benefits she will reap from the Knoxville connection, he would say something of its benefits to his own people. They had expected, for a generation, to enjoy the advantages of your grain fields and green pasturage. We have plan? ted cotton and rice, expecting to be fed from other sections. We have been compelled to transport provisions two thousand miles, and have lost more in freights from the immense roundabout distance than would build the road from end to end. [Ap? plause.] We cannot, as things now stand, raise rice, cot? ton, tobacco and sugar, without also ruising a large portion of our provisions. If you will bring us within five hundred miles of your corn fields, we can plant all our lands in such products as will grow most naturally with us, nnd exchange with you to the mutual advantage of yourselves and us. [Applause ] You cannot fully realize the changed condition of things in the South. For example, we now need a stove in every bouse. Before the war it was not so. The South wants a million of stoves to day. Would you not like to supply us ? We are now compelled to use machinery in ag? riculture. Do you not desire this patronage for your shops ? Very little that is used on (he farm is made at home. We have to look abroad Tor these things, but we cannot afford to pay freight on wagons, buggies, &c, for 2,000 miles aro'iud. In timber *e have the finest of walnut, cherry, &c, to offer you. The engineer said thai in sur? veying the rojtd from Walhalla to Franklin, it was not a rare thing to see a black walnut tinny feet in circumference aud seventy feet to the first limb; also cherry equally tall without a limb. These trees would he worth something in yourtnarket. The capitalists of the Southeast are waking up to the ocean trade. They cannot see why the pro ducts of the West Indies should all be curried past the best of harbors at Port Royal to Baltimore. New York and Boston, to be thence brought back to us. A change will be effected in this regard. Many of us will live to see the day when the rich? est trade of the country will ha from South America, Spain and the West Indies, through Southeastern ports. Port Royal will, at no distant day, be a great naval station, which will vastly aid us in attracting that trade which, by the laws of nature, should come to us instead of passing by us to Baltimore and New York. If you, of Cincinnati, will come to our aid, a great revolution will be speedily wrought ir. this regard. The State of South Carolina has loaned its credit to the Blue Ridge road to the amount of $4,000, 000. Tbis will enable us to push it to Knoxville in fourteen months, could a million of material aid from Cincinnati and another million from Louis jille be procured. Ue thought that he could so present (he argument that private capitalists of Cincinnati would at once subscribe a million. It may be that if you don't make Knoxville your Southern terminus, we shall be discouraged. Cin pinnaii is wonb more than the whole State of South Carolina; and yet our Stale has expended $7,500,000 on railways, and has given her credit for $4,000,000 more. With such aspirations as the people of Cincinnati have in reference to her future greatness, how can she neglect to extend some material aid to the great universe about her from which she expects to draw her resources ? ?? The Cincinnati Commercial says : "It is said that the Congressmen in Washington are trying to bring about a change in Grant's Cabinet. They are outspoken in their opinion that Grant's admin? istration thus far has been anything but soccessful or in harmony with the great mass of the Republi? can party. They deeply deplore his appointments, and express themselves as being tired of bolstering up bis mistaken and shielding him from the harsh criticism that he so richly deserves. ? Mr. Archibald M. Peurifoy, formerly of Charleston, died on the 14th instant, at his resi? dence near Buena Vista in Spartanburg District.. He was an amiable and excellent young man, re? markably efficient in his business relations, and emminetuly useful in promoting the moral and religious interests of the community. ? It is reported at Washington that official ad vices have been received there that twenty.one Stales have ratified the fifteenth constitutional amendment for universal manhood suffrage. The aasont of three more State? are still neoessary to make it a part of the Constitution. -rr Failure to.pay owe s hotel bill has been deci? ded by a New York, court to be a penitentiary of? fence. ? The Laurensv&ta Herald notes the appear? ance of frost at that place on last Thursday. THE MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. first dat'b pkockedixgs. The Convention assembled at noon- on Tuesday, i8th of May. Sixteen States were represented by large and respectnblo delegations. When the Con vent ion was ealled to order, the venerable Rev. Lovick Pierce, ef Georgia, invoked the blessings of Providence upon the efforts of the Convention to? ward building up the waste places of the South. Mayor Leftwitch, of Memphis, delivered the offi? cial address of welcome. On motion, Ex-Gover? nor Pauon,. of Alabama, was unanimously chosen temporary chairman. After a skirmishing debate upon the subject of credentials, a committee on permanent organization was appointed, consisting of one member from each State represented. A letter from Gen. Robert E. Lee to the Convention was announced, and as the name of the gallant chieftain was read the entire body broke into the wildest applause. The letter was in response to an invitation to attend, regretting his inability to accept the invitation, and expressing the hope that the questions before the Convention might be so determined as to secure the best interests of the country and people. While the letter was be? ing read, a breathless silence reigned, and as the magic name was reached at the conclusion, a storm of applause went forth in deafening volume. Mr. Fowler, one of the United States Senators from Tennessee, was called for at this time, and addressed the Convention at length, alluding to the importance of the cotton crop, the financial difficulties in the way of prosperity for the whole country, and the ultimate success of the Southern Pacific Knilro.nl, besides other points of interest. The committee on permanent organization report? ed, recommending Gov. Chas. G. Anderson, of Kentucky, for President, and one Vice President from every State. Capt. George H. Walter, of Charleston, was designated for this State. The President, who is a Rentuckian by birth,but has for many years lived iu Ohio, delivered an address on taking the chair, after which the Convention ad? journed. SECOND dat. At the opening of the Convention, the number of delegates was estimated at eight hundred. The committee on organization submitted a supplemen? tal report as to the order of business, reporting the following subjects for the consideration c-t the Convention: 1. Southern Pacific Railroad. 2. Railroads genera.ly. 3. Direct trade with Europo 4. Immigration. 5. Finance and banking. 6. Manufactures and mining. 7. Mississippi river levees and improvements. 8. Tennessee river improvement. 9 River navigation, canals, and other improve? ments. 10. Agriculture and other business? And that delegations of each State represented announce the chairman of the State delegation, aud that the delegations select one of their num? ber to constitute a committee on each of the above subjects, to whom all resolutions appertaining thereto shall be referred without debate. Also, that in order to expedite business, only, twenty I minutes be allowed the chairman of each commit ? tec for debate on any one subject, and ten minutes ? to other*. The report was unanimously adopted. On the call of the States, the chairmen of the delegations were announced?George \V. Willisms, ; from South Carolina. After a recess of about fifteen minutes the vari : ous standing committees were announced, at the conclusion of which it was announced that Sena? tor Sprague and Gen. Halstead were on (he floor, and a motion made to invite them to seats on the stage. After repeated calls, Senator Sprague was intro? duced by Gov. Anderson and spoke for half an hour, dwelling particularly upon the pernicious effects of the centralization of the money power, as in New York, and taking strong grounds against free trade, showing that by the combina? tion England and Franc* had formed for the cul? ture of cotton in Egypt, it would eventually be driven from America, unless measures are taken to reform and cheapen labor at the South. His re? marks were listened to with eagerness and well received. The Convention then adjourned until the after? noon session. On reassembling, Mr. Trezevant, of Tenessee, offered a resolution for the appointment of a com? mittee to memorialize Congress for aid in establish? ing a line of steamships from Norfolk to Liverpool, and for the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Referred to appropriate committees. The following resolutions introduced under the call of States, were appropriately referred without reading: For memorializing Congress- for government aid in rebuilding the levees of the Mississippi ;? For reducing the duty on railroad iron; Making the telegraph part of the postal system ; For the appointment of a special committee to conler with the Manchester, England, Board of Trade; In reference to the culture of cotton ; For an equal distribution of the national cur? rency ; For government aid for a railroad from Washing? ton through Virginia to Cincinnati; Same for railroad from Norfolk to Louisville and St. Louis, commencing at Cario as (he initial point for the Sum hern Pacific Railroad; For the appointment of a committee of three from each State for selecting the time aud place for the meeting of the next convention, which was announced by including n report from the same for the organization of a Commercial Convention on a permanent basis, and appointing standing com? mittees who shall hold over. A letter was received from Hon. M. Kerr, of In? diana, regretting his inability to attend, and hear? tily sympathizing with the work of the convention. When Khode Island was called, Senator Sprngue rose and said in reference to the Southern Pacific Railroad, that Congress was ready and willing to grant aid to this enterprise as to (he others, but owing to the absence of representation from Texas, through which the road would necessarily pass, it had deemed it proper to donate lands of that State for that purpose; but Congress wanted the route designated, and he hoped this convention would do so. After some other important business, adjourned until to-morrow, when reports from commutes will be received. THIRD SAT. The number of delegates estimated at eleven hundred, among those just arrived are delegations from Illinois and Pennsylvania. The Convention opened in regular form, when a committee of one from each State was appointed to select the time and place for the next meeting. Judge Williams of Rentucky, offered a resolu? tion appointing a Commute of five to memorialize Congress for aid in removing obstructions in the Tennessee river, and builuing a canal around the shonls. Referred. A communication was received from the Mem? phis and Charleston Railroad extending the time for the return of delegates to the first of Jnne. Under a call of Slates the following resolutions were read and referred, together with many not read: That the standing committee hold over until next session, the chairman of which shall have power to call them together any time, and reques? ting railroads to furnish transport at inn ; asking each State to hold conventions and appoint ten delegates to the general commercial convention ; for a committee to ascertain the expediency of formiag a permanent convention to meet from time to time ; requesting Southern railroads to hold a convention for the purpose of establishing an im? migration corporation and taking means to sys? tematize labor. Governor Patton introduced a resolution, which passed under a suspension of the rules, to mem? orialize Congress for the repeal of the direct land tax of 18?2. The Committee on the Southern Pacific Railroad made the following report, which was unanimously adopted amid great applause: Your committee, to whom was referred the mat? te?? relating to the Pacific Railroad, respectfully report the following resolutions for your consider? ation 5 Resolved, That m the opinion of this convention the interests of the whole country, especially the Southern States, could be subserved by amain trunk railroad line from- San Diego, California, through Junction River Colorado, and Gila and along the valley of Gila, south that river to El Paso, on the Rio Grande, and thence to a conveni? ent point near the 32d parallel latitude, and east of Brazon River, in the State of Texas, from which the main trunk feeder roads should lead from St. Louis, Cairo, Memphis, Vickeburg, New Orleans and other points, all of wkioh feeder roads having equal rights and connection with said main trunk, while simitar feeder roads from San Francisco and other points on the Pacific coast should have simi? lar equal rights and connections. Ruolvtd, That the President of this Convention bo requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, Vice Presi? dent, nnd Speaker of the House of Representatives, and request them to present the same to the re? spective houses of Congress. The committee, which is composed of represen? tatives from seventeen States including three mem? bers of Congress, give the following reason for the report: 1. It is the shortest line eonneeting the Gulf of Mexico and the va'Jey of the Mississippi with the coast of the Pacitio Ocean. 2. It is the line of most easy grades and cheap? est construction per mile. 3. It passes through less inhospitable and bar? ren country, atid over more fertile and hospitable lands thau any other unoccupied route proposed. 4. This line is touched by water transportations at three points, affording greatest facilities for cocstruction and consequently hastening and cheapening such constructions. 5. This line will open to the world the great mineral resources of Arizona andSonora, nnd ren? der more valuable the great stock raising districts of Texas, New Mexico and Northern Mexico, and will thus enjoy unrivalled traffic. 6. It will inevitably attract numerous feeders from the neighboring Republic, nnd thus not only stimulate enterprise there but secure to our ship? ping a greater portion of the bullion which now seeks Europe by hazardous conductors and smug? gling vessels. 7. It will open a new cotton growing area in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. 8. It is well known that some roads which would be among the feeder roads referred to in the reso? lution, have not only been projected but are al? ready in active course of coustruction without waiting for government subsidy or encouragement. 9. Last though not least, the construction of this route more than all else beside, will encourage and build up what we feel to be a great necessity of the hocr of immigration and direct trade with Europe. Respectfully submitted. Alter the applause caused by their ndoption, the Committee on Direct Trade with Europe, reported in favor of the formation of steamship lines from Southern ports, which should be encouraged by subscription ; that sard lines should be patronized by planters, merchants of the South, and approv? ing the scheme inaugurated between Norfolk and Liverpool, organized at the Norfolk convention. Dr. Lindsay, of Alabama, presented a minority report setting forth the claims of Charleston. New Orleans, Savannah and Mobile, which elicited a long debate. yocnrn ?at. The meeting opened to-day, and many letters and telegrams from distinguished persons, regret? ting their absence and endorsing work already done, were received. A dispatch from Ueauregard, tendering free passage to and from New Orleans to the Commercial Convention, was read. The Levee Committee made an elaborate report, showing the necessity of Government aid. The Banking Committee reported in favoi of a redis? tribution or expansion of the currency, (ogive the West and South a due proportion of circulation. The Navigation Committee report against the further bridging of navigable rivers, unless with provision for the passage of the largest vessels at high tide. The Convention favors a reduction of the interest of (he national debt by means consis? tent with a faithful discharge of duties to credi? tors. A resolution recommending all States to repeal the usury laws was adopted. The Committee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Mining reported in favor of States freeing from taxntion capital invested in works devtloping the resources of the country. Strong speeches were made in favor of an im? provement in water transportu'.ion, as beyond the reach of the machinations of bulls and bears. FIFTn dat. Resolutions were passed requesting Congress to put the telegraph under control of the Postmaster General, and opposing having bridges above the mouth of the Missouri river less than four or above the month of the Ohio less than three hun? dred feet span. The Convention thanked officers, citizens and press of Memphis, and ajourned tine die. WAS AND RUMORS OF WAR. There can be no question of deeper national in? terest than war or peace. The era of Essays is past, and we will not frlhiraster the field of politi? cal ethics. ? brief sentence, a vigorous idea is what the render wants-. "J/et us havepcaec" was the pledge of the last election; but Talleyrand has said that "language was made to conceal our thoughts," and it may have been only a sugges? tion. We have passed from the age of gold to the age of greenbacks. The days of a virtuous and simple people, undisturbed by glory and uncor rupted by luxury, are gone forever, and their penee is in the hands of ambition and power, un? der that oligarchical clause, "by and with the ad? vice and consent of the Senate." We are an Oli? garchy, not a Republic. A ready casus belli is al? ways kept by a sagacious ruler among his private papers, nnd the great problem is when to "bang the cannon" and when to "twang the lyre." The Republican party is falling to pieces from internal diseases and the daring attacks of Sprague and others. It rose to power through convulsion and war, and would die, despite the party lash, under the sunshine of peace. The compression of war can alone hold together its broken arches, and they know it. They, therefore, reject the Ala? bama treaty, and send England the ultimatum, not only of indemnity, but of humiliation. In the meanwhile, they re-open the recruiting service and stir up the navy yards, while gold is steadily rising. The defence of Canada is a matter of Eng? lish honor?not of interest?uud English honor is the weathercock of English diplomacy. When that fruit is ripe it will full from the tree, and it does not seem hardly worth the plucking. The Uuitecl Slates were secure before the re? cent trouble from foreign invasion, and in case of war, could privateer and destroy an enemies' commerce and retreat with little fear of retalia? tion. But now a large portion of the country groans under an unbearable despotism, with the heel of their former slaves forcibly kept on their necks, and it would he unsafe to rely on the sub? missive spirit of a people whoes heroism and de? votion have been the admira.ion of the world. Freedom first and loyally afterwards. It is the cardinal doctrine of American faith. What is the loyalty of a slave worth when the mailed hand of a stranger offers him even a momentary freedom. Is Ireland loyal to England? No! never 1 wait and see. If wur comes, the South will have to furnish its quota, and, perhaps, General Lee has told General Grant, the other day, that even his great name, written in golden letters upon the hearts of his people, couid not raise a corporal's guard until they were reconstructed some more. They would prefer to buy substitutes "without distinction of race, color or previous condition." The South wnnts peace and something of freedom. But growing out of the rottenness of the times, the smoke of the inevitable cigar sits upon the air like a crown, and we are asked to listen with satisfaction to the sounding tread of imperialism. Some say the splendid shadow is upon us, aud cry out, "Great is Diana of the Ephcsians !" We will search history in vain for the quiet passage of an Established Republic or Common? wealth under the magnificent columns of an Em? pire. The Roman Commonwealth, with its won? derful flexibility, could submit to the dictatorship of Sylla without despair, nnd witness the confu? sion of the Gracchi without anarchy. With Mount Avcntine in sight of her Cnpiiol she cher? ished the ashes of Virginnius for five hundred years, and expired, like Cleopatra, from the poi? son she had injected in her own bosom. But even in Rome imperialism came through despotism, and despotism from war. If in our Government, with its Utopian balances and checks, it required despotism to bang an innocent woman and suc? ceed in a difficult struggle, will it require less now ? The crowned height of Empire must be stormed and carried in blood. War brings despo? tism, and despotism will make the Imperialist an official organ?which some say it is now. If so, look out lor war !?not "short, sharp nnd deci? sive," but long enough to wear the people out completely, accustom them to arbitrary power, and make them shout, "The Empire is Peace I" "?Long live the Empire!" Then again that debt, taxes and loans included, $5,000,000,000! The average increase of property from 1600 to 18G6 is $450,000,000 per annum. This mnkea ut $2,500, 000,000 poorer! Who holds this surplus poverty invested in national bonds? A moneyed ar ist cu? racy anxious for the security of an Empire*. There may be something of honor concerned in the discharge of foreign obligations ; but the do? mestic bond-holder is the national Shylock. The soldier who dies for his country, pays his blood for the pension to his widow and children, is en? titled to a debt of grntilnde. But the bondhold? er neither fought, nor i9 taxed, nor bore in any way the burden and heat of the day, and no American citizen should be allowed to hold as a gratuity the blood money of the American Union. But in case of war, the despotism thnt must prevail will need this aristocracy and protect it \ and they, with the distinguished Generals, will be honored with titles, and become (hose essential pillars of nobility resting on the necks of the people and supporting the dome of the Empire. If war ensues with England, the Irish division will pass to the front, and with Canada as a mask and a general rising in Ireland, n powerful fleet might succeed in landing an armv ~s the Irish eoast. In some way like this, a .. .r with England may result in the sun-burst of Irish liberty, but otherwise it can only destroy the commerce of the world, effect the conquest of Canada, produce in? ternal dissensions, and end without any decisive advantage. The people want peace on all sides ; but, ambiti'.ion and party may insist upon war. We may know how it will begin, but who knows where it will end ? An Empire may be attempted, but the conntry would not hold together, and the Emperor will have scarcely fixed opon a residence before he will have found an unhonored grave!? Charleston Gazette.

Mr. Editor: As this is the season when farm? ers minds are naturally turned toward the wheat crop, they are made by past experience to feel great uncertainty about it in consequence of the fatal effects of the rust, and when he meets his neighbor the first question asked is : "Have you seen any rust yet ?" and the conversation then turns upon the causes aad effects. But I confess that I have never heard any one say he believed he knew precisely the causes and the manner in which it develops itself upon the wheat stalk and grain. Well, I do not say that I can give you an accu? rate solution of (his rust problem, but will give ray theory, and if you see proper, by publishing it, some farmer's mind may be drawn out on this subject, and we might thereby get at the cause, and probably be able to apply a remedy for the disaster. But to my theory. I believe there are two pri? mary causes, both of which are necessary to the production of rust, for we may have either of these causes and not- the other, and no rust will.be produced. These causes I believe to be?net, growing tceather and very hot sunshine. The 6rst produces an abundance of sap in the stalk, caus? ing it to become very tender ,* and from examina? tion I find the outer skin to be very thin?so thin as to be even transparent; and I have also found that under every speck of rust on the stalk there is a split. This speck is an accumulation of sap, which has exuded from the inside of the stalk through the split thus made, having dried by com? ing in contact with the atmosphere and sun. The second cause, which is the hot sunshine, causes or produces this split by heating the sap, thus causing it to expand, as you well know that anything when heated expands, especially any liquid substance?such as an abundance of sap in a wheat stalk. As a proof of this theory, all know that wheat which ripens early does not have rust; that is, it gets ripe before the temperature of the sunshine (which is every day rapidly increasing about har? vest time) is sufficient to produce this expansion of sap. which splits the stalk, thereby loosing the properties that would otherwise go to make a full' plump grain. Another proof of this theory is, that some SetfsorW the rust appears on the leaf of the wheat stalk, but never appears on the stalk, and the result is a tolerably good crop. Let us investigate this tiling a little. We know that all plants feed upon aud receive nutritive ingredients from the atmosphere by means of its leaves. For instance, the houscleek, parsley, pea-vine and the wheat plant, to a certain extent. The rust appearing on the wheat blade destroys it, crip? pling the plant by cutting off a part of its feed? ers, thereby lessening (he quantity of snp or liquid substance, and the skin of the stalk thus becoming tongh is not easily split by the hot sun. So you see a reftedy its applied, or in other words, (be disease in that case has applied its own reme? dy ; and the rust not appearing on the stalk, we get not a good crop, because the plant has been crippled, but a tolerable crop. Then if my theory is correct, early sowing, high manuring and proper selection of seed would be a remedy for rust. Respectfully, LARKIN NEWTON*. New Advertisements. A Horse for Sale!
