(BE lease of THE state road
Many of the political Views of men are
!since-; and determined by prejudice, and
«course by which they are directed is
Ijioted out by circumstances of a nature
Ittcriiy foreign to tlio matter in question.
I ffe are apt to judge ot a measure by the
j citracj r of its advocates, without a due
| ixtmiaation into its owu merits, just as a
i fs often judged by the association with

[ iitid company.
jsJ ip's in, many of our opinions are in
I by the opinion of others, and we are
I to prone to adopt the views of our friends
| without me trouble to think lor ourselves.
Serfi we opine has been the case with
I tin "f our contemporaries who have ar-

This provision guarantees the faithful
performance of the conditions agreed u on
by the lesees.
The mcney accruing from tho lease is.to
be applied to the isquidation of the outr
standing debts of the Road, if any, and ;iii
the event of none being found, i' is to bo
placed into the State Treasury. ■
Thus instead of, as now having to meet
bill of expenses every year, the State Treas
ury will receive the sum of $300,000,which
will be a saving of just that amount- to our
heavily burdened tax payers
Ample provisions have been made for
the return of the Road, rolling stock, etc.,
in the same or as good condition as it ms
when it entered into the hands of - the ies
In fact, the provisions of the bill are
so complete aod so closely guarded that we
cannot see the possible chance* of fraud.—
They are too lengthy to reproduce, or we
would again lay them before our readers
the best argument that could be urged to
refute the unjust charges that has been
brought against them. Wc would, how
ever, request our readers to refer
to the Tri-Weekly Courier of the 15th inat.
and the Weekly of the 21st, and examine
the bill carefully for themselves
One of tho greatest objections—or at
least a paramount one, urged against the
lease of the Road, is the apprehension that
the leseos wili make it a profitable job.—
Well, we sincerely hope that they will'.—
Unless they thought that there was money
in it, no man, or set of men who wonld be
compecent to direct it, would eugage in the
enterprise
We hope that the Memphis Branch
Boad will be a profitable job, and that ev
ery stockholder, director and officer conneo
ted with it will be largely tho gainer, bat
it does not argue that the measure ot grant
ing the charter and State aid to the Mem
phis Branch road is wroug, because its com
pany expect to make money by it.
Tbe question is not bow much the cor
poration is to mako, but is the State to
make or lose by the transsetion. Ti e past
experience of tbo Road is that for even the
minimum of twenty five thousand per
mouth, the State will bo largely tbe gainer
over the present system. Now it not only
takes all tnat the Road earns to p.iy its ex
penses, but the further sum of $500,000—
half a million of dollaas, is required to keep
the Road iq order. v7 ,,
Then the Comsany will pay ita own ex-,
penses, and the State Treasury will reeeivs
$300,000 per annum besides. These are
the figures, aod in this matter of fact age,
figures are the proper arguments to cou
suit.
We shall revert to the subject again in
our next. It is too exhaustive to be justly
considered in tbe limits of one article.
THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
This time-honored and Stirling Democrat
ic Journal has been removed from Washing
ton to New l'ork, and is now to be run un
der the editorial direction of Alexander,
Delmar.
The appearance of the Intelligencer, is
materially altered, we cannot say improv
ed—and its tone is sjmewh^so'tened—it
taking ground agaiust the Democratic pol
icy of free trade.
We let Mr. Delmar speak for him
self. ^
“To those who may wish to have an an
swer in brief to the -question, what the
special function of the intelligencer is to
be, we would say—putting in a gentle pro
test because of the cnormons difficulty of
such a nutshell programme:

Sunday News, after ten years careful study
a id close observation has come to the so.
ber conclusion that our republican institu
tions are really in danger after all, and
that too from tbe ‘ loiT’squealera them,
selves..
Here is what it says about the radical
conspiracy, that threatens the integrity 61
the constitution.
There is really now more danger to the
Constitution frou. the conspiracy of the
Radicals than there ever was from the arms
of the Southerners; aod oqr republican sys.
tern has more to fear from a bond and
stock aristoen cy than it ever had to fear,
frem the slave interests of the South.
THE NECESSITY OP RELIGIOUS
CULTURE.
Only in the light of a palpable contrast
are some truths drawn out—-just
“A• d»rkneM shows as' worlds of light
We could not see by day.”
And one of the great truths illustrated
by the disjuiuteduess of the times is that ol
the importance of a religiously trained and
educated people, to the conservation! of tho
best interests of society, and of a nation.
When we see tho hands into which the
government of onr country has fallen, and
see the blindness and - ignorance that fills
6ur high places, we can then more readily
realize the blessings of an enlightened,
Christian administration, and appreciate the
importance of.educating the youths of our
country, upon whom its government will
soon devolve, into those arts and sciences
which look to the blessed aesaofa Christian
intelligence for their highest degree of per
fection. V
Anything then, that leads to this end
should claim the interest of every good cit
izen, and it is with peculiar pleasure that
we give place io another column to an ex
tract froilijtho report of the Rt. Rev. C. T.
Quintard, Vice Chancellor of the Univer
sity of the South, to the. Board of Trustees
of that Institution.
We commend the report to the earnest
consideration of our readers, Dot merely in
the interest of this particular University,
bat in the interest of all such institutions,
whether Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist,
Presbyterian or any others. Each of these
diQominalious h-is under ts care some such
in-titutiou of learning, and each should re
ceive the earnest support 1 Inf its members.
It is a work that commends itself to every
patriot, as well as Christian, All should
Contribute'to its performanee-
cruclty by reprisals which wouldhave giv
en a character of needless savagery to the
war—bo h North and South owe a deep
debt-of -tralitude to him, aDd the time will
coum whet both will be equally proud of
hjm. And well they may, for his cliara<£
ter aud his life afford a complete answer to
the reproaches commonly cast on money-
grubbing. mechanical America. A coun
try which hasgirea birth to men like him
aud those wbo followed him. may look the
qbivalry of Europe in the face without
shame, for tbe fathemnds of Sidney and
of Bayard never produced a nobler soldier,
gentleman, and Christian than General R
E. Lee.

Th policy of arming whole nations,
whatever its merits, has, it is clear, one
enormous drawback. It may, aud in the
end we believe will, make wars more rare,
but, when they cocur, it will enormously
increase their resulting horrors. So vast
are the numbers which it compels generals
to handle, so direct is the tendency aris-
out of those masses fir battles to be
come “pouudiug-matches”—tactics on the
field beiDg actually impeded, as at Rczun
ville, by want of space—that the care of
tbe wounded transcends any possible organ
ization, and to be wonnded means for tbe
majority te die in lingering pain or under
the sharp torture of thirst. Supposing, for
example,, what is extremely probable that
after Gravelotte and Rezonvillc there were
fifty thousand wounded oo the grouud
nnund, what number of Surgcony aud at-
tcuuants must a i army carry to give them
any thing like effective aid and traus ort
them off tbe field, where, be it remember
ed, they cannot lie among the dead without
dying from the effects of pestilence ? The
work must be douc at once, within twenty-
four hours, or thousands will expire of ex
haustion and of thirst—that most terrible
of all tortures to the sick—aud done by one
army only, for the other has retreat
cd off tbe field.
We believe that wc do Dot oveistate the
case when, we say that the five hundred sur
geons and ten thousand men would not bo
too many for the work ; or, to put it iu an
other way, tho removal of suet a mass of
wounded would be twice or thrice us diffi
cult as that of two corps <ttimvfc of the us
ual st length. No army possesses a medical
organization of this magnitude, or could
possess one without an addition to its impe
dimenta which generals would find unendu
rable, os endangering the very safety of
their armies aud the countries they defend.
No hospitals, however extensive, could con
tain such crowds, aud no army is yet in a
position to furnish sufficient attendants,
means of conveyance, applicances,or return
transport to the cities selected as the de
pots for wounded.
As to appliances, a siuglc Staten eat in a
Bii minghaui paper reveals an abyss of mis-
yry. Birmingham, Sheffield, and, there
fore, doubtless London, have been literally
stripped .of surgical instruments, till there
It not in Shffield a pair of artery-forceps,
and the trade ‘cannot be suddenly expand-
ed.’ ,
The Prussian organization is believed to
be the best in the world, but it is strained
till the King is compelled to ask leave for
his wounded to pass through neutral terri
tory, till the dead lie unburied for days,
till correspondent after coi respondent hints
that ‘the wounded must be regarded as the
dead ’ Nor is the immense increase in the
area of bodily suffering the only evil con
sequence of the "arming Of entire nations.—
The area of suffering of another is equally
enlarged. Formerly, when,an army of six
ty thousand men was a gjeat one, it was
possible if their leaders had motives for len.
ieeny, to carry food for them, to abstain
from requisitions, or to confine reqositions
to a comparatively limited : atea. Now,
when an army may number a quarter of a
million, whole provinces most be plunder,
ed. to keep it fed. It is .next .to impossible
to'carry provision^ witfi it, and, if it were
possible; the burden, in a -i-flitary sense, of
such vast trains of carts would be unen Iu.
ruble to the generals. It would take eight
hundred carts a day merely to carry eatables
for such an army, and the trains would, in
the end, be more burdersome than the ar.
my itself. '.

Innistrahuai Island, asmail rock fclohd't
miles west of Donegal, and thirty, miles
west ofLondondery. -The vmsel instantly
began to fill Three large holes were stoye
iu the bottom
The fires were soon extinguished,
became evident that the steamer hopelessly
was lost, and efforts were directed to save
the lives of the passengers who were massed
upon the deck. ’* ,
Four boats crowded with passengers' Were
launched snd pnt off from the sinking
steamer. McGaitland entered one of these
He saw no more of the ship’s other boats.
He thinks there is no doubt that all tbe
boats were swamped, and that he is the
only survivor. Almost iuatautly upon get-
into the boat it capsized. He lost
consciousness-. Upon recyveriog he found
hioiself in the sea, but grasping the gun-,
whale of the boat, which had i righted, he
succeeded in getting in the boat's second
time. He fouud there a dead body, a lady-
dressed in black silk. Mr. McGartland was
tossed about many hours: but was picked
up by the Enterprise of Captain Gillespie,
who cruised about the scene of the disas
ter a long time in hopes of saviDg life' aud
property.
McG. says at almost tbe very time of the
disaster, tbe passengers and the crew were
congratulating themselves on the tempestu
ous voyage being nearly finished, and re
joicing io the fact that in one short hour
more they would land at Mavillc There
were certainly 180 souls on board, perhaps
more. .. j teimn

- Tests of Character. r
A great many admirable acts are over
looked by us, because they are so little and
common. Take, for inst,nee, the mother,
who has had broken slntnber, if any at all,
with tbe unrsing babe whose wants most
not be disregarded; she would fain sleep
awhile when the breakfast hour comes, but
patiently and uncomplainingly she takes
her timely scat at the table. Though ex
hausted and weary, serving atf with a re
freshing cup of tea or coffee before she sips
it herself, and often the cap is banded back
to ber to be refilled before she has bad time
to taste her own. lj( )
Do your hear her-complain—the weary
mother—that her breakfast is cold before
she has time to eat iti £ And this not'for
one, but every morning, perhaps, in the
year. ..Do you call this a small, thing -
Try it aud see. 0,how does woman shame
us by her forbearance and fortitude ip what
are called little things ! Ah 1 it ii these
little things Which are tests of character ;
it is by these little self denials, borne with
such self-forgotten gentleness,that tho hum
blest home is made beautiful to the eyes of
angels, thong t wo fail to see it, alas ! until
the chair is vacantand the hand' which kept
in motion all this domestic machinery is pow
erless and cold!-. vino loo boaoqqrq w J

the ornament of the church and the glory
of a nation which is -‘heir of all the ages,
and foremost in the files of time’7 . It in
former days such an insiitntion was a felt
necessity to the highest interests and secur
ity of Abe State; if in tho past the church
has fcltthc need of .-Uob.an 'institution for
the tr.iniog of souls in the doctrine and
dis.-ipliuc of Christ, surely its necessity is
nut lessened by _Jhe circumstances which
surround us aow: Everywhere there is a
chan.e, At home and abroad we see the
same sigus and tokens. Accomplished or
impending change; political and social rev-
olntiots of the'most rapid’and sweeping
character; subject races and subordintte
classes rateed politically to the level of
those who have hitherto been above them:
We need just such an institution to sincti
fy the common every-day life of our peo
ple; to sanctify all the relations of home; to
elevate the standard of public morality and
private: virtue; tp give to onr legislators trn
er uotions of State craft and State policy,
and to place the mark of Christ’s Cross on
the learning of onr country. Only the
church of Christ can bind in one' the peo
ples and tongues of this broad land. All
the multifarious influences, from without
and within; the infusion and transfusion of
the various races; the action, teaction and
counter-action of the various social, ecclesi-
cal aud political forces; the utilization of
material products, aod the application of
scientific discovery—all these, with innum
erable other agencies, are actively at work.
And can we sit idly by, and see the grand
opportunity which God has given ns pass
away forever? A thousand times no. Let
ns have faith—faith in ourselves, faith in
the church,and faith in tbe living God He
has thrown upon t he harden and the re-

ing here to-day with those who were our
enemies then but now happily in peace, are
our friends aud c mntrymen; and appreciat-
with them the personal character of Lee,
and admiring his rare accomplishments as
a great American,, whose fame and name
are the property of the nation, we all unite
together over this hallowed sepulchre in an
earnest prayer that old divisions may be
composed, and that a complete and perfect
conciliation of all estrangements may be af
fected at the tomb, where all alike in a fe-1
ing of common humanity and universal
Christian brotherho id, drop their tears of
heartfelt sorrow. Therefore, without re
gard .to our former relations towards each
other, but meeting as Americans by birth
or adoption, and in the broadest sense of
national unity, aod in a spirit above indi
cated, to do honor to a great man and
Christian gentleman, who has gone down to

which occnrred at Lexington, io the State

Thomas A. Hoyt, Vice President of the
Gold Exchange of that city, and brother of
our fellow citizens W-D and R T Hoyt,
next spoke upon what he called the “na
tions? loss”. His theme, he' said, overwhelm
edhim. If the hundreds who ha 1 assem
bled in the hall h»d Como to hear the prais
es o the great chieftain, he would be aa
able-to- do justice tothe character of him
who was gone; but he felt that they had
ORpeiqot tp praise,' but to mourn over the
tomb of the pride of the South.
The speaker went oh at some length and
with considerable pathos, to describe how
meekly and how manfully the dead hero had
borne himself after the strife of battle had
passed away; how he had kript^himself free
fatal all political entanglements, and had to
tlie last moment of his life done bat acts of
kindness, and bat uttered words of Icve and
gentleness.
' The speaker then closed by hoping tha
he decasion of the meeting would be tbe
occasion for a lasting peace between North
and South of all partisan strife, and that
rest and joy would come once more to a des
olafed'arid suffering people.
C K Marshall and several other gentle
