. Proposed Southern Un. i5ron.il.
In compliance with a request, (says
the Cincinnati Gazelle, of the 20th,)
tho gentlemen sent as delegates, or
as a committee, from the State of
South Carolina, to confer with the
merchants of Cincinnati in regard to
the project of obtaining direct rail?
road communication with tho South,
were received on 'Change yesterday
af tomoo n. They were introduced to
a great many of our most influential
business men, and stated to them, in
detail, all matters pertaining to tho
proposed work.
At half-past 2 o'clock, the President
of tho Chamber, Theo. Cook, Esq.,
called, the Chamber to order, and
stated, iu a few words, the object of
the meeting. Mr. Cook then intro?
duced Hon. Cr. A. Trenholm, of
Charleston, S. C.. who proceeded to
address the merchants substantially
as follows:
I beg leave, in behalf of tho com?
mittees whom I have the honor of
j representing, to return you, Mr. Pre
\ sulent and gentlemen of the Chamber
I of Commerco of Cincinnati, their
sincere thanks for the favor of being
allowed to address and consult with
you hero to-day. Tho subject which
wo present to you for your considers
I tion is one in which i believe we all
have a common interest, und one
which tho welfare and prosperity of
tho whole people almost. I might
say, absolutely demands.
Nearly forty years ?go, a distin?
guished citizen of a neighboring
State, a gentleman of great financial
and business capacity, with a keen
eye peering into tho future of oui
great country, told us in South Caro
lina that Cincinnati, then compara
tively a small place, situated on th?
I banks of the Ohio, a rivor which, lo
said, dried up in summer and wa:
! frozen over in winter, would, at n<
\ distant day, la- the queen city ant
great commercial centre of the West
i Ho told us that, by thc eonstruetioi
j of a railroad, we would be enabled t<
j draw closer together, in the bonds o
I social, political and commercial inte
j rests, two great cities, Cincinnati an?
Charleston; andiu obedience to tites*
I views, we aro hero to-day to see if th
I bauds cannot be drawn closer, and si
j welded together that time nor oir
! cumstancos can intercept us from th
i desired end.
Since the time of the arrival ii
! this city of thc delegation, whom
hilve thc honor to represent, we hav
ascertained that your views in regar
I to the project do not exactly harmoi:
j izo with those heretofore eutertaine
j by the committee, and had I bee
unaided, T would not have laid befor
you tho views entertained by the pee
pie of South Carolina As it is,
feel a delicacy in presenting thom t
the Chamber as a body, knowing th:
we do not entirely agree in our view:
Nevertheless, by your kindness,
will state briefly tho details of th
subject, which we were sent to lay lu
fore you.
Our especial scheme at present i
the construction of what is called tl
Blue Ridge Railroad line. This ron
commences at the town of Andersen
S. C., and is intended to run throng
to Knoxville, Tenn., whore it wi
terminate in a connection with tl
Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad,
f The length of this road is li
I miles, or in round numbers, for coi
venionce sake, we will call it 2(
miles. Tlc condition of tho rout
amouut of monoy .subscribed and e
pended, Ac.,, I will explain to you i
a moment. Tho original estimate
cost of thc railroad was S7,.r>00,00
I or about $37,500 per milo. No otb
road was ever built across the inou
tains that cost less than 8(50,000 p
mile, and having a grado of not le
than seventy feet to tho milo. Tl
Blue Ridge Road will have a grut
going East of forty-five feet to tl
mile, and going West of sixty fet
Those figures aro plain truths, and
address you upon the subject as b
siness men, oras one business mt
endeavoring to make a trade with a
other. I am neither a politician ii
public speaker-I am merely a rn?
chant, and desire to deal with you
a body ns 1 would with a single in?
vicinal. It Mould be vain, if ri
wicked, to expect of you to do an
thing contrary to your own inter?s
and it would be wrong in von to
that for our welfare which, as bu
ness mon, would not enhance, evei
it was not detrimental to your ow
It would be impudent in me to a
you todo so, unless 1 could showy
that you were making a good bargi
for yourselves. If I fail in convi]
ingyou of this, then I should expi
you to dismiss the subject from yo
minds at once.
The estimated cost of the und
taking, as I have already said, at 1
timo the original surveys were mai
was $7,500,000, and the grade will
far less than that of any other rt
road over constructed over the mot
tains. In connection with this, he
ever, you will naturally ask. "WI
have your own people done towt
the furtherance of tho object?"
will teil you in a very few words.
Nearly thirty years ago, when
population of Cincinnati did not
ceed 25,000 persons, you burnell b
fires and illumimated houses at
prospect of this railroad coniim
cation being established. I am
director of that same corporation
whom you burned bonfires tin
years ago, and ?un here to talk to ;
on the same subject. At that ti
the proposed line was called tl io (
cinnati, Louisville and South Car
na Railroad, and your city gran
the Company a charter " At t
~*m****<" " i ililli* Iii i lhil.HU
tim? the State of South Carolina do?
nated to the object $1,000,000, and
endorsed the bonds of the Company
for $2,000,000, -while the people sub?
scribed $1,600,000 more, and the
work was commenced. The great
financial calamities which befell the
whole country in 1837-38, however,
brought tho enterprise to an unex?
pected end. In 1851 L-0 object waa
revived, and work was again com?
menced under tho auspices of thc
same corporation. The States of
?orth Carolina, Tennessee and Geor?
gia came forward at that time and
granted charters to the incorpora tors.
The people of these States subscribed
$i,300,000, Charleston donated an?
other $1,000,000, while privato sub?
scribers through tho State came for?
ward with $500,000. This made ar
I aggregate of nearly $7,500,000. whicL
: the people of the South invested ir.
' the enterprise, which would have
been carried through to a snccessfu
end, had it not been for the financia
crisis of 1837-38, and other difficul
ties which could not be overcome
Notwithstanding the difficulties to b<
I encountered alf that time, however
the Company succeeded in construct
ing thirty-four miles of the road
including masonry, tunneling, &c
Eighty per cent, of thia work ha:
been done in South Carolina, fift;
per cent, in Georgia, and twent;
miles have been graded in Tennessee
I In doing this work, 83,000,000 wer
I expended.
There are now remaining uueoni
j ploted 104 miles of tho road, am
j about $4,500,000 is now required t
I finish the work, and the object of ou
j visit is to solicit your aid and co-ope
! ration in tho matter, so that th
I great trunk line, which will conncc
! the South Atlantic coast with th
I Ohio may at no distant day bo
j fixed fact. Cars arc now ruunin
; over thirty-four miles of this roac
j The line can be completed, as 1 hav
already said, for $4,500,000, and w
, are willing to sacrifice a great, part <
\ what has already been dune, if yo
j will only come forward and assist m
You will ask what interest Ci neil
I nati has in this matter. I will te
I you. It is necessary for tho poop1.
' of the North, and those of the Soutl
j to exchange commodities. Wo wai
your manufactures and product
j while you want ours. Thc people <
i the South are at present dependei
I on yon for sustenance and resusciti
I tion. The expense of shipping the:
; products by tho present channels
very heavy and the time occupied i
I the same is very lengthy. By tl
construction of the railroad which v
propose, you will be brought :i<
miles nearer tho centre of the Soul
and cost of transportation will 1
! greatly reduced. All that separat
j you from that point at present is li
' mil*?s.
, W hat we propose is this: Wo ha
; already expended 83,000,000, and y
? have 164 mile's of the road to coi
plete. Now, we want you to consid
I whether if wo give you up onc-li!
i of what we have expendeel, you w
make an effort to raise the capital i
I quired to complete tho work. \
j will, of course, give you undivid
j control of this great trunk line.
The speaker then referred, at ?.?
sideiablo length, to the different hi
bors, means and way of trnnspor
tion, kc, on the South Atkin
coast.
In conclusion, Mr. Tren holm
quested that the Chamber appoint
committee to take the whole mat
under advisement, and to correspo

j "Declaration and Testimony" agai
I the acts of the previous Asseni
making political opinions a conelit
of union with the Church. For t
act, its commissioners to tho Asse
bly were excluded from tho iii
without trial. A resolution was oil
eel by a committee appointed to
vestigate the case, dissolving
Louisville Presbytery, and autho
ing the radical members to eonstit
a new one in sympathy with the
sembly. After much discussion, el
ing which one member- the Kev. '.
Ferguson-was expelled f?>r a let

was laid on tho table, ami a res?
tion, offered by Dr. Gurley, wh
would include ninny outside

to its sentiments, was adopted in
stead, by a vote of 196 to 38.

The Confederate Debt Recognised.
The Fessenden-Stevens faction, in
order to sustain themselves in deny?
ing the Southern States their rights
in the Union, aro driven to the nc
racy was a political organization out?
side tho Union; that whether right?
fully or wrongfully, the Southern
States were out of tho Union. But
this position entails upon them an
unexpected inconvenience. Tho Na?
tional Republican shows how it ex?
poses the United States, beyond con?
troversy, to the just demands of the j
creditors of the late Confederacy. It
concedes, indeed, tho very ground on '
which the English bondholders, in
their late meeting, rested their
claims.
Says tho Republican:
"The English holders of thc Con?
federate bonds claimed, at their re?
cent meeting at tho London Tavern,
on tho authority of Vattel and Whea?
ton, that if the American Union had
boen dissolved, as had been declared
in tho American Congress by Mr.
Thaddeus Stevens, it followed as a
resulting legal eonsequenco that the
I Confederates had tho power to set up
for themselves, as they did, a dc /acto
I government at Richmond, and they
further added, that all the world knew
that de fort,, governments had the
power to contract debts, and that tho
j conquering power was, by tho law of j
I nations, obligated to pay them,
j "We suppose no principle of law
I to bo better settled than that any
government entitled to be respected
as that of an independent State in
Christendom, may lawfully contract
debts; and that for debts contracted
in the name of tho State, by its au?
thorized agents for its publie uso, tho
succeeding government is liable Tho
doctrine is that tho government I
i which succeeds to thc fiseai rights of
?another, is bound to fulfill its fiscal j
l obligations.- Wheaton's International I

"Into such dilemmas domen intro- j
duce themselves when, instead of ar- i
guing for truth and justice, they lay I
down principles to suit a particular j
case. In their anxiety to outlaw i
the Southern people, tho Keeonstruc- j
1 tion Committee have argued the
? Washington Government into an ob- !
; ligation tu pay the Confederate fo- i
! reign debt, and perhaps laid the;
I foundation for a foreign war."

j THE CRISIS IN* EUROPE.- War be- j
j tween Austria and Prussia has vir- 1
j tually begun, although a formal do- !
duration of war has not yet been .
! made. The Prussians having entered i
j the Duchy of Holstein, invited tho'
I Austrian commanding general to ra-:
i establish a joint. Governm? ul tor j
! both Duchies. When this was de- j
j dined by Austria, the Prussians ra?
pidly advanced, in order to occupy?
; tho whole Duchy. The Austrian
General, being instructed not to fire
j tho first shot under any circumstances,
; withdrew the whole of bis command
j into Hauover. On the 12th of Juno,
1 tho Prussians were in peaceful pos- j
; session of the whole Duchy. Cn thc
I 11th, they had forcibly dispersed tho j
I Holstein Estates, which, in accord- !
i ance with the invitation of the Aus?
trian General, had assembled at Itze?
hoe. Prussia at once established a
'common Government for Schleswig
! and Holstein, at the head of which is
: a loading member of the nobility of
! tho Duchies, and promised to con?
voke, without delay, their common
I estates.
; Austria still shrinks from declaring
: war, and bas made a new effort to
1 prevail upon the Federal Diet to as
: sume tho responsibility for so mo
j mentons an act. She made a formal
j motion for the mobilization of the
whole Federal army, with a view to
! coercing Prussia into compliance
! with the decrees of the Diet. In re?
ply to this motion, Prussia, in a noto
to tho Governments of tho German
States, declared that she would re
! quest the adoption of the motion of
Austria as the dissolution of the Ger
' man Confederation. Tho Austrian
j motion was to bo decided upon by
j tho Diet on Thursday, tile 1 Ith of
j June.
Prussia, in the meantime, has pub?
lished the plan of Federal reform,
' which proposes tho exclusion from
j Germany ot' the Austrian Provinces.
' Austria, in her turn, in order to con?
ciliate tho Legislatures of the minor
, States, which unanimously demand
I thc establishment of a Central Exc
! entice and the convocation of a Ger
' man Parliament, has abandoned her
i former plan of Federal reform, and
j substantially adopted tho demands of
1 tho minor States. Her present plan
embraces the convocation <>f a Par
: liamcnt, to be chosen by a direct
I vote of the German people, and the
establishment of a Directory, consist
! ing of three members.

NORTH CAROLINA.-The North
Carolina State Convention adjourned
on Monday last. The Wilmington
Journal says: While we readily con?
cede to the Convention much ability,
legislation as we believe to be salu?
tary, still wo are confident that no
body of men ever assembled within
tho limits of the State in whom our
people had less confidence, took so
littJo interest, and hail with such
satisfaction their final adjournment.
Not satisfied of the legality of their
legislation, unless made so by the
subsequent approval of the people,
a vast majority felt that, elected at
a time when the ballot-box was not
free, the sentiment of the State was
not represented by the Convention.
We aro heartily glad that this body j
is now numbered with the things that
arc gone, and believe that many
years must elapse, and great changes
take place in the political sentiments I
of the people, lief ore just such another I
one assembles. But for a wholesome !
fear of the people, tho action of thc j
Convention would have been as
radical as that of Congress. What it
did well, we give it credit; what it
omitted to do, wo are thankful for; ita I
record is made, and to history, from
which there is no appeal, must it look
for judgment.

The attention of this Department
has been called to the case of Poter- j

Court of Lowndes County, Mississip- |
pi, and to your telegram to Mr.
Johnson, dated nt Vicksburg, '23d of ;
April, directing him to plead Gen. !

WHAT TAXES wr. PAY. -A Northern
paper gives some interesting statis- j
tics, which are of special interest just
now, when it is proposed to pledge
the faith of the Government to the ,
payment of tho debts of "friendly I
republics."
The public revenue from taxes, di?
rect and indirect, during each of the ?
fiscal years 1865-0 and 1866-7 is j
officially estimated at 8525,1(00,000,
say 816.50 per head of tho total popu- j
lation of the United States-being
thirty-four per cent, mon' than is I
paid by the population of Great
Britain and Ireland, and about 100
per cent, more than is paid by tho :
I people of France. It is clear that ,
when Jefferson Brick, in his next ;
Fourth of July oration, refers to the J
i "worn-out despotisms" of the Old ?
I World, it will be but prudent to omit
tlie usual sarcastic allusion to "tax- I
j ridden people."

at tho time, sleeping in his bed with ;
1 his son, a boy of twelve years. Both
were brutally murdered with an axe.
j The assassin then procured the key '
j of tho safe, but could only open one
? door. A negro man servant has been
i arrested. Upon his boot heel, was
i found thumb and linger prints in

a furious animal, wns found tied, the
: next morning, is a strong convicting
circumstance against the negro, as lie
! was tho only living person, besides

tie the dog. Dr. Webb hus lived in !
