The following letter, first published in the Cincinnati Chronicle, of Thursday, contains an interesting and, it would seem, conclusive statement of the advantages ot Knoxville as one of the termini of the Southern Railroad to be built by the Oily of Cincinnati : To the Aditor of the Oincinn .Ui Chronicle: Much has already been written in regard io the different routes proposed for our Southam railroad, and we propose to bring before your readers a condonsod statement of the distances to be overcome by the rival routes, and their comparative cost, as shown by their own state? ments. To this we propoae to add some remarks as t > the character of the country through which these rival routes paES, and shall examine into the advantages we mav ex? pect to derive from the connections made at their respective termini. As to ihe proposed air lino from Cmoinnati to Lexington, since it shortens both lines, and does not materially affect the relative disiauces, wo mav leave lt out ot the discussion, and count the distances by the roadB already built to the diverging points.'

The distance from Knoxville to Chattanooga, by the Rast Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, which is in actual operation, IB 112 miles, mak? ing a total distance from Cincinnati to Chatta? nooga, ria Knoxville, ot 886 milos, or 28 miles further than by the Chitwood route. Xhe City of Louisville, by roads m actual operation, is but 886 miles from Chattanooga, or 22 miles nearer to that point than Cincinnati would be by the Chitwood or so-called air line. It therefore appears that Louisville, by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, with its con? nections, mest control the entire region weet of Chattanooga. The only region, therefore, left open to Cincinnati from Chattanooga is that lying to the South, with which Chattanoo? ga counects by way of Dalton, Qa., and the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The distance from Chattanooga to Dalton is 38 miles, making the total distance to that point from Cmoinnati 896 miles. Knoxville has also direct communication with Dalton by a road io actual operation. 110 miles in length, which makes the total distance from Cincinna? ti to Dalton via Elk Oap and Knoxville, 884 miles, or 12 miles less than byway of Chitwood and Chattanooga. It therefore appears that Cincinnati can reach Dalton, Georgia, the common point on both Unes, by way ol .Knoxville with a saving of eighty-eight miles of railroad construction, which, taking tbe average cost of railroads, will amount to at least $3 000 000, and with an actual saving in distance of 12 miles. Now, no one pretends to deny that Dalton, Georgia, is the key, by roads ut actual opera? tion, not only to the whole of Georgia, but also through the Selma, Rome and Dalton Rail? road to Central Alabama abd the non cotton region of which So ma is the centre, as well as the important ports of Mobile and Pensacola. An inspection of the military maps, which are certainly fr?e from all bias, as they were com pited from actual surveys by the ablest engineers in the United States service for government purposes during tue war, proves that Knoxville is but thirty-five miles to the east of a Une drawn due south from Cincinnati. It also proves that Knoxville is geographically the cantre of the great valley of East Tennessee, and that it must always control the immense trade which will arise from the development of the unsurpassed min? eral and agricultural resources of that region. The value of E ist Tennessee iron bas been so well established that it is unnecessary to com? ment upon it, and we have a sufficient evidence of the value of their coal io the fact that the Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad has been constantly shipping it to points from which their mines are nearly one hundred miles fur? ther than those of Chattanooga. We will now enumerate some of the ad van? tages offered by the railroads centerine at Knoxville, from which wc would he entirely excluded if we were to adopt the Chattanooga terminus. 1 brough the entire length of the Valley of East Tennessee from the State Line of Virginia to Dalton, Ga.. with a branch from Cleveland, Tenn., to Chattanooga, extends the great hue of East Tennessee railroads, with 272 miles of track lo actual operation, controlled by the capitalists of Knoxville, who offer to contract with Cincinnati to pro rate over their roads for all Cmoinnati freight, thus practically giving Cincinnati the control of those roads for its carrying trade. At the State Line of Virginia thesa roads connect with the Virginia railroads, and will give Cincin? nati a shorter communication than any now available with the' western' and central portions of that State, and a competing line to the port of Norfolk, until the com? pletion of tue Chesapeake and Ohio Road. At Morristown, Tenn,, a 2 miles east of Knox* ville, on tho East Tennessee and Virgin;a Rail? road, the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and Charleston Railroad diverges to the south, fol? lowing the Valley of the Fronen Broad to the State line or North Carolina at Faint Rock, a distance of 45 miles, of which 43 are ia actual operation. The State of North Carolina is ?ushing tts Western North Carolina Railroad } a connection with the above road at Paint Rook, and that road in actual operation to Mor? gantown, within 107 miles of Paint Rook. In addition to this they have completed their grade 25 miles further to Marion, and have the iron at Morgantown to complete this seotion, thoa practically leaving a gap of but 82 miles between the railroads ot East Tennessee and North Carolina. To fill this gap in the connec? tion the State of North Caroline' has appropri? ated 18 000,000 in State bonds, an amount , which1 is estimated to be amply sufficient to complete the work, as over one-half that distance is in the Valley of the Franoh Broad. The comple lion of this link will connect Knoxville with the railroad system of North Carolina, travers? ing the entire length and breadth of that great State, and terminating in the ports of New? born, Beaufort and Wilmington. From Knoxville the Blue Ridge Railroad is in actual operation for 16 miles, to Maryville, and from Anderson, South Carolina, its South? ern terminus- ia also completed and in opera? tion for 38 miles, to Walhalla, being one hun? dred and forty-six miles between its rails, upon whioh gap there were expended, prior to 1861. $1500,000 ill gold. This amount was expended in pushing forward the heaviest work, which was so far advanced that the entire lins can be completed within two years. To close this gnp, the States of south Carolina and Tennes? see have pledged fcheir orcdit to the extent of $4,370.000, an amount whish insures the com? pletion of the road within ?fae time specified. At the point whore the Blue Ridge Railroad emerges from the mountains on its way south? ward, lies the town of Clayton, Ga. The stock? holders of tfae Georgia Railroad Company, a wealthy corporation now paying largo divK dends, nt a recent meeting adopted a resolu? tion, instructing their officers to extend their Athen? branch to a eormecttOTwttfa' tlfe 'BTa? Ridge Railroad at Clayton, and this will beth? true air. line to Central Georgia, throwing ont tho circuitous route by wav of Dalton, ? TM &&$9Blii ***** southern terminus of the Blue Ridge Railroad, it connects with roads th actual operation traversing the whole interior of South Carolina, terminating M tho port ot? Charleston, and ?iso connecting with the City of Augusta end port of Savannah. The City of Angosto ls a large cotton market, and La the centre of trade for every large and wealth? region. It appears, we believe, that if Knoxville is designed as our southern terminus, all these important connections will ho completed with? in two years; that our connection with Knox? ville can bo completed within the same time; that Cincinnati can immediately recover the ti ade of an immense region, which will afford an inexhaustible market for our manufactures and the surplus produots of the West, sod that at the same time we secure a port which will give us tho ?hortest, cheapest and best route by which we can compete with the East? ern cities in direct trade, not only With Eorope, but a?so with the West Indies and South America. In conclusion, we will comparo the advan? tages from the localities through the rival routes in Kentucky. AU the counties of Ken? tucky lying east and north of the Kentucky Iii vor are geographically tributary to Cincin? nati. Those lying southwest of the Kentucky River are geographically tributary to Louis? ville, which city, by its Lebanon branch, has already reached thom. It is useless for Cin? cinnati to expend her moans in trying to reach these counties, because the lines to Louisville now in operation are shorter than any which Cincinnati can possibly construct. The only region in Kentucky naturally tributary to the trade of this city is the riob counties on and to the enstward of the Knoxville route, and the citizens of those counties have offered to con? tribute largely to the building of the road. \V. VAJtia G C.SS IF. A Fashionable Charity Ball ?n tr?<n Gav Capital-American Yoong Ladles int Frenen Soelety-Fsit Doings-Me Great Man-JW Milner- His Habits and Power. The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes : A French paper published the other day the following little bit of spitefulness about the charity ball ot tbe Princess Reauveau, at tbe Grand Hotel: "Dancing weat on till six o'clock. The noble Faubourg gatherrd up its skirts and got out of the way at midnight; alone, the Enclisli and American ladies, and th a Chinese of Mr. Burlingame, held on. All this exotic world danced, and fluttered, aud perspired; it WSB a regular danse Mac tore. Au American mother lost her daughter before the cotillion; another American lady was Been crying for the loss of her beau. At two o'clock came ;he invasion of the demi-monde, and the grand entry of Moos, and aime. Worth. This last was tho bouquet." Whether merited or not, this little notice is damaging to the last degree. French women go away before the invasion of the women ol ad character. American and English women do not. What ls worse, they engage pell-mell with these women in something very like tte can-can, tot they come ont of it dishevelled and all in perspiration I Then there is an in? cident in keeping with what precedes; a young lady leaves her mother's protection-an utterly unpardonable sm in France. Another lady compromises at least her good breeding by crying in public-oh, horror 1-for her lo it lover. Finally, ss the bouquet. Mr. Worth, the famous man-milliner of the Rue de la Paix, makes his entry. He has been told by the Frenoh ladies, whose dresses he made, at what hour he might come and find them gone; for although they like Mr. Woruh iu his shop, they prefer to' shift his entertainment upon tbe exotics who stay late at a chan y ball. English and American young ladies do not always observe the rules of French society, that's certain. But they did not come to Pans for that. They come to see what they om see, and to ff et the worth of their money. They know that French society is mixed-horridly mixed-and that if they, uninitiated foreigners, should undertake to sift it, and to separate the good from the damaged fruit, they would utterly "lose their Lelm." Frenoh people cannot do it themselves; they do not even try it, for it is note nous that they run more from the "common herd" than from the "immoral held." Gilded vice passes everywhere with the honora due to gold and beauly; the best boxes io the first ter of the opera axe occupied by notorious public women, and nobody protests; au contraire. The fashionable Mme, Trois Etoiles and her daughters are rather proud to . occupy seats next to the brilliant sinners, but their evening would bo quite, ob ! quite spoil? ed, if some honest, high-necked bourgeoise should occupy the place. It makes no differ? ence that their low-necked neighbors are the centre of a hundred lorgnettes; lu fact they are rather made happy by the admiring glances they receive by ricochet from them; they are willing to accept this admiration by proximity; they go home and dream happily on their vica? rious triumphs, and wake np each morning with an additional screw loose in their morai perceptions of right and wrong. It ia possible that the American girl does carry into her intercourse with foreigners too much of her native freedom of manner; but then, in general, she does not come abroad to get married, nor does she come here to con? vert foreigners to ber code of propriety. At any rate she could not do it if ene would. A certain number do come, perhaps, with m alica aforethought to get married; but these know well that to depart from the rigid rules that govern foreign young ladies ia to compromise their projects; for, however well individual for? eigners may reason on the subject, they take good oare not to run counter to tho prejudices of their own people by putting their reasoning into practice. After all, the principal evil that grows ont of the free and easy manners of our young ladies-for there would* be no sort of barm in their never marrying a foreigner at ail-la the kind of notice quoted above. These notices are multiply mg in the French press; it is quite a common thing to allude directly <.r indirectly to the last manners of oar young ladies, and thus a damaging impression is fixing itself in a permanent way in t he public mind. There? fore, not so much zeal, young ladies; when you are in Rome it is better to do as Romans do, than to try to convert the said Romans. It would not bo right to say anything against Mr. Worth, for he is the prince of industrials in his way. His es ablisbment ia a cariosity; nt least that ia what people generally say. There is certainly none other hko it. It is eunouB tho evening ol * fancy dress ball at the Tuileries to see the jam of created carriages before hu- door. 'It is curious to ?ce ladies as, deeply crested aa their' carnages take tickets at the door, eo as to be admitted in tura to the presence o? the great mah inside. It is curi? ous to witness their assault em the lunch, set out for them in the waiting-room, and Which suggest s that perhaps they clo not all penetrate further into the temple Of (??faion. Once in? side, it is something more than curious to wit? ness what takes place. The artist, a good looking man of forty, with black hair end pale, noe, dressed loosely in ?: black dress suit, . ana with white cravat-a man who speaks all languages, and does not know what country he b?louga to, although ho ec mo ?irnos forgets himself and says he is au Englishman-stands in the mid? dle of the floor, and, with his eye on the lady customer, examines ber as he would a hone he waye going to buy. He makes ?female as? sistant torn her around, trot ber up end down, sit dews, stand op. and finally be issues bis fiat, from which there is no appeal, and the customer most take the dross, tho ont and tho In-ice ho dictates. "That or nothing. Madam; f anything else both yon and I would be rained 1" Then, when the costume is finished, they mast return with- it OD; to see whether it does not need a touch here end there before ita advent in tbe world. Mr. Worrb goes through all this process with such decorum and with auob an evident eye t J art, that the fashionable world, from the Empress down, d?? clares that in fashion there ia bat one god and Worth is bia prophet. . But there is a go id side to Worth that the world in general does nat know of. Worth is liberal to tho trodo; ho does not charge fifty trance to a smaller tradesman for a pattern: he gives it to him. It may bo that fae considera his position so exalted that he need not fear ri? valry; bat, at any rate, he encourages poorer work-people by giving ?hem his inventions, *hd nobody else does that.

It may be a little late to celebrate the glories of the Pacific Railroad, but we fled in tho cor? respondence of the San Francisco Bulletin a few facts of interest even after the opening of the finished line. The correspondent found ons morning on the line of tho Central Paci?c road' a large force of carpenters handling rough lumber which they were to build into six water tanks to hold 8000 gallons each. Be? fore night the tanks were made, hooped and mounted on their supports. It took three days for another gong of workmen to dig a ditoh seven miles long to a spring in tho hills and lay pipe to connect it with the tanks. The dis? tance ordinarily travelled in a day by the track? layers, besides extra walking, was over ten miles, and during the same time each ot' the men carried a weight of 120 to 135 tons a dis? tance of thirty feet. Most of the men who did this work had been with the coipxany from tho first, and would not consent ti?e relieved, however long might be the hours of wcVk. They bars $75,000 of S&T?BRG in t^e m?o of one of the officers of the company, *nd are strict total abstinence men. ' The same correspondent gives jk lively sketch of four new towns, Winnemucca, Argem^^ar iine and Elko,ail of which thrive on expec.ai.on? of future greatness. Elko appels to have the host founded hopes. We copy* part of the description of this town : Elke is a great place; there are several lines of streets, though the town hos sprung up since January last, and thriven entirely on the White Pine excitement. Some people nick? name it 'Bagtown,' from its white cotton w. Hs. * * * At Elko, at this time, calico is the great building material, and, though there, are two brick yards-adobe-most of the supply of this kind of material goes for building chim? neys and fire-places. Lumber was $200 a thousand feet-not extravagant, considering that the first freight train only came through five days ago-and pine lumber, by express, is nesessarily costly. 8ome very neat cottages have bean built in rows, of tbe two groat pro? ducts of che country-sage brush and mud worked up into walls of lath and daub * * Within a mile of Elko, on the road to White Pine, is a large natural swimming bath, where visitors eau choose their temperature, from tepid to boiling. The depth is said to be very great, and some say that at 200 feet no bottom bas been found. The floating pooulation of' E.ko, which is very large, to their credit be it said, indulge in frequent bathing, and as far as is known, whether they can all swim or not, none of them have yet been drowned. A two horse wagon is kept hard at work taking and bringing back the bathers. AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. Marton. The village was visited on Saturday after? noon with a violent squall, accompanied by thunder and rain. The gust lasted about halt an hour, and blew with great violence so as to prc strate treas and ienoes, and smash up things pretty generally. The workshop of Mr Robert Lambert, east of the village was blown down, and some damage was done to material inside, but we are glad to say that we have not heard of anybody being hurt.
