" CINCINNATI AND CHARLESTON. The Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 19tb, pub? lishes a leading article upon the Southern rail? way, which is as follows : We had the pleasure of mot-ting at the Bar? net House, last evening, Colonel Adrian Terry, of Knoxville; General J. W. Harrison, Presi? dent, and Colonel James P. Low, Chief Engi? neer ol the Blue Bidge Railroad; J. B. Laflttj, of Charleston, 8. C.; Colonel John H. Crozier, V. H. Sturm, ot Knoxville, ana other gentle? men, who are here for the purpose of impress? ing the business' men of Cincinnati with the importance of a Soatherc railway connection by tbe way of Knoxville. According to their showing, it w ll oe seen that the length of rosa required to fill the crap between Paris, Kentucky, and Elk Gap, Tennessee, to which point a railway ia now completed from Knox? ville, is but one hundred and forty-eight miles. At Knoxville this route connects with tbe B!u3 Ridge Road, in process of con? struction, th IIB opening up communication with Charleston. Tho Blue Ridge Road, it IB asserted, will be comple.ed whenever Knox? ville id named as the terminus, without a dollar of cost to the City of Cincinnati, whilo the connections mode at Kuoxvilie would place ns in easy communication with Chattanooga Dalton. Atlanta and East uni West Virginia. It is understood that there is a rival route to the one referred to which is pro? posed from Nicho.'asville to Chattanooga, a distance ot two hundred and forty-nine mues. This, tbe advocates of the other Imo claim, would bring us uo better or nearer conan uni ?ation with Cnatta-ooca than that which Louisville already possesses. TBe advantages which the Paris and Elk Gap route possess over the one last named, as shown by their representations, are as follows : A Southern connection can be formed with ono hundred miles less of ioad; the road can be completed j in from ooo to two years' less time, while the j country through which it passes is richer both in minerals and agricultural resources. The gentlemen above referred to will remain at the Barnet House several days longer, t hey aro anxious to ascertain the feeling of in? terested citizens upon the subject, and wish to carry borne with them an ex jression of some kind in reference to this great project. Tbey are prepared, with maps and statistical re ports, to present the claims of the Knoxville route, sud will be pleased to see as many gen- I tleman at their rooms as feel an interest in the early construction cf the propose 1 new railway. ] Their room is No. 61. Tho followin? telegram was received yester? day m relation to the projected Southern Rail? road: I "KNOXVILLE, May 18.1869. Colonel A. Terry, Svrnet House: Yon know the position always taken by tba officers of the East Tennessee aod Georgia and I East Tennessee and Virginia Railroads is to Ero rata per mile on any freight offered them j y any one of thea* connections. ' President Calloway will telegraph the Presi den t of tbe Board ot Trade to-day. You can fully commit both roads to this line of pohoy. ] R. C. JACKSON, Superintendent." And the same paper contains the following lucid aud cogent letter in regard to tbe Knox-1 rille mate : THE G HAND THUNK RAILROAD. The arguments in the papers of (he 17th I inst., in regard to the necessity of the direcfw ine to the South from* Cincinnati, are very forcibly stated ly the waiter, but, un/brtuuate y for him, there are some en ors of statement ( nat will not stand agaiust facts in the oase. In the drat place, what Cincinnati wants is I t region which she can supply with the pro-1 loots ot the Great West and ber own mann- I "acturea. lu the next place she wants a rail- 11 road line open at all seasons of the year, and I eading to a port through which she can ex- I x>rt her surplus and import the products of I >t the West Indi ?B, Sooth America and Europe, h the third place she wants a short route to be cotton belt from which she can bring 1 ?heaply the cotton whioh ehe requires for her J1 ion abe can never become a great ootton mar- I , et, that bulky article always seeking water ransportaticn. Now, the ootton region extends I < mm fho lina nf* fhn ^TnaipV.? mmM Phniilnn 1 on Railroad southward. Cattanooga is to I j he north and east ot the great cotton re ion. Chattanooga ie nearer by twenty miles Ic 0 Louisville by railroads already constructed 1 han to Cincinnati by the proposed air line. I ill the region immediately west of Chattanoo- . a is already tnbutnry to Louisville through J iver navigation, and (he ra iii o ad connecting 1 jQuisville with Nashville and Memphis aud I \ 1 ashville with Decatur and CU at t ai o oe a. be only ltgion that Cincinnati could gain y tbe proposed air Uno to Chattanooga would I ie that lying to the south of Cha11 mooga. J he i Vill's Val ley Railroad gives Chattanooga a short I j oute to toe mineral region of Northern Alaba- j na und tue cotton region of Mississippi But 1 0 order to roach the cotton region of Alabama, < >f which tolma is. as the writer remarks, tho 11 entre, the trade of Cincinnati must pass brough Dalton, Georgia, winch is fifteen miles ? tearer to Cincinnati, via Knoxville and (he rate proposed by that eily, than it is by way ot f Chattanooga and tuc proposed air line to that 1 ace. Now, Dalton, Georgia, is not only thc ? toiut through which the ti effie cf Chattanoo- < ;a with Soathern and Central Alabama, and J he important points of Mobile and Pensacola, I / ansi pass, but is also that through which sbe anet communicate with the whole of Georgia 1 nd Souita Carolina. It therefore results that i he route via Knoxville and Dalton gives the f oute proposed by Kn oxville fifteen miles thc dvantago bv roads already built io the com ounication between Cincinnati and the cotton f egion. Cincinnati now manufactures to a J t argo extent the very articles which aro most j leeded by tho Slates that produce the cotton. ] t follows, therefore, that the shortest lino to 1 he cotton region is the shortest line to the I egion that consumes her mannfactuies and (. urplus prod'iots, and that line is via Kuox ilte and Dalton, Georgia, by roads already ( milt. t The advocates ol' thc d rect Chattanooga c onie do not even assume to competo with ho Knoxville route to the States of Virginia nd North Carolina by roads already built, or / oon to bo completed, t r via the Blue Ridge ? toad to the entire sute of South Carolina; the I . tort of Savannah, and tho important inland 'tty of Augnsta. the greatest inland cotton i aar sot of the outh, and the point from which I L /lQCinnati eau most easily and cheaply draw ter supplies. Now tho West ladies and South America ' re tho largest consumers of those articles of c rtuob Cincinnati has the most to sparc, viz: j ? he surplus products of the West, and Cuarlcs on is unquestionably the nearest and J 1 cst port through wince that trade cao j s ass, open at all seasons of the year, and t a the shortest line between Cincinnati ant bat immense body of consumers. Charleston I also tho vor; through which Cinoiunan can I r est transao* ber European trade, being s: tu- J te midway betweet the hurncane regions of he tropics and thc North Atlantic, which is wept by storms ab least one-half the year. 1 ne cotton freighted from Charleston gives an t utward freight to Europe largely io excess of j f er imports, and thus makes the roturo I reiglit cheaper than to any North Atlantic ort. It is a well known fact that the mai >ri- r y of the vessels and steamers coming from j tarop? lo Cbiirk'Ston arrive iu ballast, and bat the port charges ?nd other expenses ol' huso ships oro less than those of any other ort in tbe United States. i As to tho advantage of reaching Pensacola . r any other Gu t port the increased rates of reight and insurance, owing to tue danger us navigation of the Cl ult, prohibit tbe idea ot ny of these being made the port of Cincin- j i tali. As.ta the point made by the writer that knoxville is too much to tho eastward. Cincin- | t ntl I? but thirty-five miles west ot Knoxville rbile it is at leaet fifty miles east of CUatta iooca. 1 The road via Chitwood'e, it is urged, will have 1 ho Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad a i a feed- ] r. but the facts are simply these: That this ? Odd will, m thal event, connect with the K .ox illo branch ol' ibe Louisville and Nashville 1 _dlroad over lighter grades and with a saving t it at leaet one year in tho tinte required for onstruction. As to the miner il region of the Chattanooga ?ir Une. that of the Knoxville and Kentucky lailroad can not ie surpassed, as th ? report ot he State Geologist of Tennessee will prove, [he writer speaks of tho great water courses hat feed Chattanooga, but we would simply sk if these fade are as stated, bow it happens hat the population of Chattanooga has not II reased -if, indeed, it has not diminisbeu ri hin the last three years-while that ?T knoxville has nearly doub'led ? The Knoxville nd Kentucky Road, between Knoxville and Hinton, a dit-tanoo ot twenty miles, bas a max mum trrado of ninety-five feet, twenty-one eet lees than the maximum grade of the Sal *~ r? timor? Md?b? Railroad, and twenty-five les a than tb/.t &t the Tc-nnsylvanta Central Rail? road. . . North of Clinton the road has been loaated to the ?ia'o line with a maximnm Krade of sixty-six feet, and has been so cons trac ted to its northern terminas, while the estimates for the oost of its completion are based upon tbat location. The twenty miles between Knox? ville and Clinton were originally located with crades of bat fifty-three feet to the mile, and can be reconstructed, if necessary, with no heavier grades than the remainder of the road. Even now, a twenty-seven ton engine takes a net load of one hundred tons of coal over these grades, and a single pusher put npon this section could easily assist three full trains each way daily, at a very small ex? pense. On the Chitwood route* the engineers admit that they have grades of eighty feet to thc mile, and its advantages on a ht not there? fore to insist too strenuously on those ot the Knoxville and Kentucky road, On the elm? wood route again there are ninety-six miles of mountain work from Cumberland Uiver to Emery Grap, and that m a country which hardly produces enough to feed its sparco pop? ulation, while on the Elk Gap route there are but thirty milos ot mountain work, and fifteen of these aro already grnded. The writer's argument, therefore, in regard to the wrough country through which the Knoxville route passes, falls to the ground." As to the immense saving of distance claim? ed tor tho direct Chattanooga route, as it is less than thirty miles further to Chattanooga by the Knoxville route than by his air Imo. how does it happen that he saves 114 miles in distance to the southwest? We will close with this question, and the sssortain that instead of connecting with only 3400 miles of railroad, the railroads centering at Knoxville connect with the entire railroad systems of thc United States and Canada. The Cincinnati Cbionicle, of Thursday, prints the following leading article on the same snbjcct : The important question now before our peo? ple is the establishment of the southern ter? minus o* our great railroad. A number of gen? tlemen bare boen io the city presenting the special reasons why their respective cities should be named by the City Council in their resolution submitting the matter to tue vote of the people, and the face has been fully devel? oped that the people of tho whole country, south, southeast and southwest of us. aro, and for years have been exceedingly anxious to cultivate the most intimate commercial reis, ions with us. The only wonder to those who have studied the matter is that Cin? cinnati bas so long stood indifferent to the de? sires and efforts of those who have been so earnestly struggling to come to ns and help onward in the road to commercial greatness. Without, however, stopping to regret the past, it now becomes us to go energetically and earnestly iuto the great voik. Not loo hastily, not >n ignorance ot what we aro doing, but, ignoring individual interests, and in the light of the beat informat on, the great work should be proceeded with in the mannt r to a eco mph.-h the greatest practical good with the least ex? pense and risk to thc city. In another column we print a statement in favor of Kucxville as the southern terminus, winch will well repay persual. It is clear and succinct, and unless its assertions ein bo dis? proved it seems to us that the writer makes a clear case in favor of that city. In order that the article may bj fully understood, the reader should have constant leterance to a map of the country through which the proposed routes ruo. All of the routes which h a vt, been dis? cussed present enc mee ?[ OR difficulties, but this, it seems to us, is the least objectionable on that score, while it may be completed at an earlier day than oither of the others.

The mon are ordinary-looting enough, but quiet and well-mannered. Tho women are ?resta, smooth and robust. Some of the gula are very pretty, and it is quite a con? trast to s o pouting lips, rosy trecke and roguish ey es. looking oat fiom tho pr.m edges of a square-cut cap, which is old inaidisbly si iff. p.. mt ully white, a.id Quakorishly ugly. I havo no: been able to attend thc conven? tion, and doubtless tue mere business proceed? ings would be dull for your readers, but some particulars of their peculiarities of creed and habits of life may not provo uninteresting. They aro etnet constructionists of ibo Bible, and the system of their church organization is patriarchal-the influence ot the pastor almost omnipotent. They settle all business matters arising between the brethren by action of the charch. There is never a law-suit between Duukards, though they may euo or bo sued by outsiders. And such a thing as a pauper has never been known among them. Ihe congre? gation supports its needy. It is oue ot the best, as well as strongest, of their laws that no member shall be a candidate tor public office-tue genuine effect of which rule is good, but its execution naturally engenders quito an indifference to poli'ical matters; and as they always vote unanimously as a charch, it is hara to bring them out upon ordinary issues. Then, they are timid ia such matters-the more so now, as in Virginia, they unanimously voted for secession, and, regarding it as a mistake, are more disposed than ever to let governmental matters alone. Io religious affairs they d'flVr chiefly hom other sects in the strictness of their live", tbough their form of worship has some pecu? liarities based, as they say, upon thc Scrip 1 lures and ancient practice. They baptize by immersion, plunging tho convert three times into the water, lace forward. Ia the com 1 manion-which always occurs at night, and in the open au*-they have first a substantial repast of so rps and meats, &\; at the end of j which they wash ea-:h other's feet, the men mu rehanging embraces and kisses, and tho womon caressing ea ah other, the dual feature being the taking of bread and wine. The unanimous estimation of these people by their foliow-citizans ia that they aro moral, moil-j u sive and thrifty, but tbev never contri? bute a cent to public improvements of any sort. ?bituarg.
