?. The Tollowirg article twin the Knoxville ritbeian, of the 22nd nit., ia well calculated to attract the attention of our citizens. The importance ol this line ol railroad, we have urged on the attention of our readers for years, and are pleased to say it is now completed or provided for with ire exception of that portion of the route, between Dalton and Uxiugton, a distance of two hundred and eighty mile. 1 his is now the question, because thia lina will complete the preat arteries to and from thit city, North, South, Kast and West, "Twelve years ago, or therraboittv, the mercantile commtini'ics trom the Ohio river to the extreme southern soahoatd, were a'ive and astir in the stupendous scheme of a tailroad from Cincinnati, through the heart ol Kennies, Eastern Tennessee and Georgia or North and Sonth Carolina, to the South A'lantic. Conventions were held at divers r 'socs rri the pnhlie mind was everywhere itiV a I attracted to the momentous importance ol ti.o work. But the vastness of the scheme and the then seemingly insurmountable obstaclea thai l.iv in the way ol its eonsummaitn, soon overcome public confidence in its practicability, and the great railroad system I oS-?, was abandoned as wild and chimerical. Alter the lapse of eleven or twelve years, when the rrmrm?from even, of the railroad lever if those days has almost passed a wry, we are start'ed wi:h the reality burstirg unon -us," that bv the silent working ot the ouniere:al neorseitiVs ol the times, the Uvorite line of railway as then chalked out, betu. en the Ohio t.ver to Charleston, is now in a rocasiitv completed, with the exception of a hnk ot scarcely one hundr.d and seventy miUl I nder the pereverin7 miiiwnwnt nt d'ifferwnt or.

It has only been within the last nion'b. or two that any notice, whatever, has been elicited to this important subject, and that, even, to a very limited extent. The newspaper press of the cities and country nustlv directly interested in the work, have, with probably one or two exceptions, either lailsd to see. orsoeinar. to n-

pr:s9 the public of the gradual progress ot the giant railroad scheme. And so completely have the mcrcantile men of the J?outh-cast cities" lost sight of it, that they have been lor years laboring to form con

ess accessible routes, and have at lensth in a !

circtutciis route can nevrr tul'y meet the i-ommer-

cial w ants ot the people of Ohio and Kentucky on the iorih, and o txorgia. South Carolina ami

tionda, in thc Suth-east. A more direct than-i

nel must be adopted, and this channel we have seen, bv the silent wot kings of commercial enterprise, is already nearly ooened up.

1 he btate ot Ohio, though comparatively new. is

already further advanced in wealth and commercial

greatness than any State in the Union. Her people

ar energetic, industrious and enterprising, and her soil rich and fertile, yields yearly its full measure of strength to add to the wealth and independence ol her thrifty sons. And in comparison to the

trade of this great State, that of the other States ol the West and North-west hardly approaches rivalship. At present the south-eastern cities get not a dollar's worth of it. To secure it, would he a

triumph they nn-iht well lie proud ot. That it can

rv- secured, was ilemonst-at-:d many vears ago Despairing of a direct connection with the soutu At

lantic sea-be-ard, they have, it is true, pushed lor-

ward f etr connection by railroad with '-he cities ol

New Y ork ami Philadelphia, but the great superi

ority of the southern marts for the sale of their pro-

onets, wi;t reaotty present ltseit to trtem, and the

old will be abandoned tor the new, when the means

of reaching the latter are made as accessible as

those already peasstssed for reaching the former.

From Cincinnati, there arc railroads either in operation or in progress, branching out in every direction over the State. These a'.teedy draw a vast deal of the products of the State into that city.

whence it hnds us way to JNew Orleans, or, by cir

cuitous and expensive routes to most of the

southern States. Thus to secure this trade, Cin

cinnati presents itself as the natural terminus ol

the railroad artery through which it must covrse its way directly to the south-east. Iiouisville is too

haw down ever to be the permanent terminus of this

treat channel ot trade. A glance at the route ol this line of railway will substantiate our dcc!aratio,i.

.'A liCxington there are ti.rce rones branching

out. Two of them a;c now completed, and the

other is m ramJ pr -gress. t,ach ot these is about

eighty tni!o3 in length one striking the Ohio rive at Covington, opposite Cincinnati, i;i couise of con

s'rnction; another running to Louisville, and ano

ther to .uavsviiie the last two completed, we be

lieve. Thus it will be scon, that by the route pro-pasc-l, it will te but ten miles further tit indeed

any1! even to Lauisville, than by the route now de

pend"d up an. Again, while there is but one hundred and seventy miles wanting to complete the

route a? nerein law cown sty us, and lorm an un broken chain of railway Irom Cincinnati through

eastern iennessee, 10 me seanoant, there are

-.nting on the other tide three or (our hundred

miles, being ail that portion ot the line between

Nashville and Louisville and Louisvi e and Cin

cinnati, md the better half of that between Chata

nooga and ciashvihc.

Tnere are a hundred advantages presented in this

route ot railroad over all others that are or can be

devised, which will suggest themselves to the

minds ot the business men of the cities more di-

rect'y interested. We have thrown together

tew facts which all may understand. The people

ot Augusta, rjavr.nnan and Charleston, and ol t-in

cinnati, ougni to give tins important subject their

early attentiem. 1 he stock in this connecting link

will be equal to, if not more valuable, we venture to

say, than that of ary road in thecountry. It will lie

a vast tu'.ae, through which wnl now the immense produce and the live stock of Ohio and Indiana,

to Irtorgia, fcotith Carolina, and t londa. No rival read can ever spring up to dispute the commerce of this vast section of coutitry. Ohio would be draioed of its vast surplus products, which, concentrating at her great commercial emporium, Cin

cinnati, would flow through this channel to its al

most undisputed monopoly ot the south-eastern markets; and in return Charleston and Savat nah would soon become extensive importing cities, and instead of the present yearly drain upon our currency for stock and produce from Kentucky

and the W est, the phase ol things would he materially changed, and a great share of that now taken back and carried to Philadelphia and New Yotk,

w-iuld go to Savannah and Charleston, and b exchanged lor merchandiitf there. The people ol Cincinnati, Charleston and Savannah, are most direct v interested, and upon them to a considerable extent devolves its construction. We ho;ie the public journals ot the respective cities will at an

early day present the sulject to their readers for their consideration. We tee! that the connection is so important, and so plain'y practicable, as to need very little argument to commend it to th favorable consideration of the business men of these cities. Deamie1i F1i.

My life is like the summer rose, That opens to the morning sky, But ere the shades of evening close, Is scattered on the ground to die! Yet on the rose's humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed, As if she wept thc waste to see But none ihail weep a tear forme! Mv life is like the aittuni i leaf. That tr mhles in the moon's pale ray, Its hold is frail its date is briel Restless, and soon to pass away. Yet, ere that leaf ehall fall and lade. The parent tree w II mourn its shade, The winds bewail the leafless tree But none shall breathe a sigh for me! My life is like the prints which feet Have left on Tampa's desert strand; Soon as the rising tide shall beat. All trace will vanish from the sand; Yet, as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea But none, alas! shall mourn for me. ANSWER TO " MY LIFE 13 LIKE THE SUMMER ROSE." By Mrs Bvcklet. The dews of night may fall from Heaven, Upon the withered roe bed. And tears of fond regret le given, To mourn the virtues of the dead; Yet morning'- sun the dew will dry, And tears will fade from Sorrow's eye,

Affection s pangs he lulled to sleep, And even Ia-vb forget to tnerp. The free may mourn i's fallen leaf. And ati'utnn winds bew ail its bloom, And friends may heave the sigh of grief, O'er tl-,ofe who -deep within the tomb. et soon an-w will spring the flowers. And time will bring more smiling hours; In Friendship's heart ail grief w ill die, And even Love forget to ugh. The tet msy on the desert thorr Lament each trace it bears away; The lonely heart itsgriels may pour O'er cherished Friendship's last decay; Yet when all trace is lost and gone, The waves dance bright and gaily on; Thus soon Affection's bonds are torn, And even Love forgets to mourn.

The ocean wave may gaily swell, Receding from the storm-lashed shore; But Memory hears tho funeral knell, Amid its loud resounding roar Though Nature still her course may keep, Nor know o'er all its ills to weep; Devoted heirts, when rudtly lorn, Can never cao on earth 'o in. -urn.

The arrangemouts. it will be seen, are to include facilities tor emigration: "An cvttaordttiary meeting of Town and Harbor Commissi, nets was held to-day. at 2 o'clock, lor the purpo e of meeting an American gentleman, named WagstatY. who came over to Galway with the object ol establishing a line of steamers between this p..rt and New Y'ork.

him to come to the conclusion of placing a line of

steamers oetween uaiway and INew i ora, and he said he did so because he was impressed with the conviction that such a project would most undoubtedly pay.

was the intention of himself and his father to bring, by meai.s of oher communication, the goods and passenger trsllic of the con'inent through Ireland. He sought no pecuniary assistance; he merely wanted co-operation and kindly feeling on the part ol the people of Galway. "With regard to the emigrant accommodation, he was determined to make such an improvement in this particular as had been never before attempt

On Sunday, upwards of six hundred of the officers and men ol the regiments newly arrived in Paris were introduced to the President, who ad

dressI them as follows

"Gentlemen: In receiving the offk-ers of the dif

ferent regiments ol the army who succeed each oth

er in the garrison of Paris, 1 congratulate myself on seeing them animated with that spirit wvhich was our glory, and which now constitutes our securi-y. 1 will not speak to you, therefore, either

ol vour duties or ot your discipline. Y 0u have al

ways performed your duties with honor, whether in

the land of Africa or on the soil of France, and you

have always maintained discipline intact in the midst of the most difficult trials. 1 nope that these

trials will not return; but it the gravity ol circum

stances should renew them, and compel me to make an appeal to your devotedness, 1 am sure that 1 should not be disappointed, because you know that 1 demand nothing that 19 not in accotdance wi-h

my right, recogniied by thc constitution, with mill

tarv honor, and with the interests ol the country

because 1 have placed at your head men who have my entire confidence, and who merit yours; be-auso

it ever the day ot danger should arrive, 1 will not do as the governments that have preceded me

have done. 1 will not say to you, 'March, and I

will follow you. Bit 1 will say, '1 march led

I low me."

I The speech has been construed i-to a declaration

of his determination to take very decided grounds upon the more irrportantr recommendations ot his

message, and depend personally up n the support of the army. It is considered, in fact, a deuanc

of the Assembly. The speech was received very

tavorablv by the people, lut had caused ashghtde

adhere to tiie 'President in preference to the As

The majority ol the Assembly have already lost

their ground in the contest with the President about the repeal of the electoral law, and there appears to be no longer any doubt that the President will

virtually carrv his point, in spite ol tho virulent op position manifested against him by the Conserva

tives. The very first step made by the latter in the

Assembly caused them to stumble. 1 his was a

violent propesition brought forward by the ques tors, the effect of which would have been to. de

prive the President of his constitutional preroga

was so violent that 215 memhers of the majority

and by his side that same yonn creature of my midnight dream, a thousand times more beautiful in the morning sun. She was looking up to him with a sweet expression of childish inquiry, and I felt my head grow dizzy, as, a moment alterwards, I saw her place her small white hand on Irs with all the familiarity of long established friendship. 1 saw at once that this young girl mishtnrove th

salvation ot my friend, and that the hand of a wise Providence was evident in her presence. He was explaining to her the glories of religion, as unfolded in the mysteries of nature; and, all unconscious of himself, was drinking in a healthful

balm to his wounded soul.

1 he freshness of her vouner feel in on was i;b ti.o

Never shall I forget that scene. On a couch lav

a fair girl of some eighteen summers; her pale golden hair was thrown off her forehead, and her neautilul head was pillowed on an arm of purest sym.netry. As the deep blue eyes met those ol

her husband, an angelic smile lighted up her countenance, and in that impassioned glance beamed

all the love of her soul. He knelt by her side, he

pressed his lips upon her lorehead, he clasped her

hand in his, and laid it in bis bosom 1 he last

rays oi tiro setting sun streamed through the win

dow in a flood of rosy light, that rendered her mar

vellous beamy absolutely bewildering. The blueveined lids closed gently over those seraphic eyes.

The sweet breath was scarcely perceptible on

those exquisite lips a chill crept over her frame; and still ihe husband gazed on in a rapture ol in

tensest love. 1 hen, filled with emotion, raising

tin eyes to mine, he murmured, in tones scarcely audible "Do you think that she will live?"

words filled me. when 1 tell you already her mire

rors ol that night

From that day Walter Wood changed. Once the

most amiable and generous ot men. he now extii

bit.-d a bitterness ot spirit incomprehensible to those-

unacquaiuiea wun ins private history. As time

wore en, his manner became absolutely ferocious;

his denunciations thundered trom the pulpit wiU

increased virulence; and, notwithstanding his un

compromising maledic'ions, bis ministry continued

to be attended in even increased numbers; and lit

necame tne most popular ana successiu! preacher of tho day. While the contrary might have bevn

expected, his exceeding beauty became heighlen-d

and exalted, ivolhing could surpass the venera

tion with which ho was everywhere regarded, notwithstanding his youth. The severity of liilifc rendered him little less than a god in the eyes of his parishioners, without their being able to discover where or in what manner his days were

passed. During a ramble in the western part of the State, one summer, 1 came inadvertently upon the solu

tion of t iest mysterious absences. Wandering at

random in the beautiful county of , 1 came suddenly to an opening in one of the hills which border the lake of , having the appearance ot an extensive cave. The sun had just gone to rest.

and the loveliest and the sol tes tot twilights succeeded. The moon snin rose, and lake, hillside.

and vale were bathed in her gentle beams. It was

one of those evenings in which our senses revel

in the mere consciousness of existence. While 1

was still in wondering delight at tne charming ca

ptices of nature, in her inexhaustible combinations

ot the wild and oeautitui, a new onject gave a higher interest to the scene. The figure of a man

emerged from the cave, and, in itu lull moon

light, I instantly recognix:d the superb form and

classical leatures ol my tnend, Walter Wood. U approached a small mound, near which was rear ed a rude cross. From one of its mossy arms de

pended a flight vine ol jessamine, whose starry flowers gleamed in the ing it here and there like the eves of love-spirits watching over the form

which lay burn d in ihe hillock beneath. Walter

Wood knelt by its side, and 1 easily understood that this was the grave of his young wile.

Though lull five years had passed since her death, I perceived that tlie wound in his heart was si lit

unhealed. Alter long and earnest prayer, he arose, his eyes streaming with tears. He re-entered the

cave, and 1 saw him prostrate himself before

to torture. Even inanimate nature had it .q

and not a lily could be plucked but on its stem was left a tear. I'he greater the canahiliivni re

ceiving pleasure, the more acute became the sense of suffering. And man, if he could experience tlie

happiness ot angels, was also taught to endure the misery ol demons. While 1 was in this mood ol rebellious despondency, the sky became darkened.

ana i neara me inunaer rolling heavily in the distance. Large drops of rain began lo fall, and vivid flis.iesot lightning alone lighted the path belore me. I was in the midst of a thick wood; but the coming storm so well suited my sullen humeir, that I walked on, heedless of its violence, till at last a small stream, which had been lunninc sendv

along at my feet, overflowed i's banks, and, the

fury ol the storm increasing everv moment. I was

obliged to seek shelter as best I might. And 1

think, as 1 saw a majestic tree torn by the roots

irom its sncient bid, and hurled into the air, by that invisible power which "cometh and goeth as it liteth," and beheld thoe forest kings of a century's growth bow before its breath, "and a hoarv

oak shorn ot its noble arms bv the lightmnp a

touch 1 think the murmurings in my heart and on my lip became fainter in their tone, and a some

thing like supplication went up instead And trendy, and almost imperceptibly, my soul became filled with the grandeur and omnipitence ed God. I'he storm passed away. A momeut alter, sunshine and sung burst over the wikkJs; and as, from

the last drops ol ine slorm. 1 6aw springing the

r-tiiiDowot nope, my heart melted within me, and

1 learned a lesson 1 1 the philosetphy of endurance. I endeavored to put it in practice. I set oui immediate y, determined that, ii 1 found Walter, 1 would

make amends lor my rebellion against a kind Providence by the generous fulfillment of my duly. As I approached his retreat, there 1 beheld him, agisted by ihat lair girl, in recovering a young child, who appeared to have nearly perished by the storm. As 1 came near them, th. y imaiw-d that 1 had come to search fer ihe child, and called to me. The kindne-ss that beamed from her eyes nearly undid me. Waller instantly recognized me, and pressed me to his heart. 1 lelt mine choking in my throat. She was too good, too beautiful. Would she had not been there, to put me to a second trial! 1 was about to turn abruptly away, when Walter, calling to me in a ve.ico which reminded me ot early, joyous days, said "John why, ot what am 1 thinkiru? Let me present you to my sister Isabel." Sister! 1 was completely electrified. I had an indistinct idea ot tailing down to worship Walter, or sister, or somebody; but I believe I did nothing but look very awkward, and mutter over some very unintelligible words about happiness and angels, and but all this is nothing to the point. The result of the matter was, that a year from that day, 1 sat in that cave again, and looked out on the exquisite scenery which surrounded it. It was the hour of twilight; and again those merry eyes, which had so bewitched me, looked in mine; and again I heard that gleesome voice, which always fell like music on the ear; and again the crimson blush came to that fair cheek. But there was no mirth then in her deep blue eyes; there was no more gayety in those silver tones: but there was something holi r and more touching lar; and, in the deep gaze of tenderness which met mine, as that beautilul head rested upon my shoulder, and my arm encircled that slender waist, there was that ol joy which angels cannot know; and a prayer trom my heart went up to God for the happiness of that young and loving wile. Walter Wood lived on a while longer, sad and alone; but the sternness of his character gradually wore away beneath the dear influence ol his genile sister.- The real sympathy ot his nature became every day more apparent; and the awe with whijh he bad inspired those around him was changed in

to an idolatry of love for him w ho could weep with
