hiiH served to convince even a Chicago
journal (on Its direct runic (o Iho groat

sdutpiacy of tho existing Union Pacific
road.
But thcro nro stronger indications that
the interest which Northern railroad men
and cupitaliMts nro now taking in the

by an intention to muko it aggraudi/.e
Northern commerce rather than to benefit
that of tho Hoiitli. They ore not content
thut the initial point shall lie either Vicks
burg or Khrovoport, and they wish to
modify the selection of Marshall, Texas,
by an amendment providing for a branch
road from or near that place to Fulton,
Arkansas. Fulton will Imvo no other ruib
road couucuiiou ou or east of the Mishia-

The only amendment not merely ver

that the now waste water from this well

With respect to the A.si.dio markets,

Auguhta iu Hufety ; that guards were then
paid twenty.live dollars each for their
services and discharged: And while it
cannot be proved exactly wh«t became of
the gold, ret it U certain that our suffer

A* I a;n Hie officer with whom that gold
was entrusted, and os I Am able to prove
to the curious who desire to iuspert tho
vouchers that the gold wu* appropriated
in exact occordanc© with try orders to the
uttermost farthing, I think it is due to
myself that this much further should be
added to whst the writer in the liisputeh

It i* important that thi* mailer should

they have a right to expect it, and much

be expected.
My own position at this time is anoma

FJiTv Sold.—George YV. Evans, whom
we mentioned some days ago us having
been arrested on the charge of defraudiug
the State while actiog a* conductor on tho
Western and Atlautic Railroad, has sud
denly disapposred, and icithout hating
given bail, lio has not beeu visible iu
several days.
His property consisting of four two-
room tenement houses and one varaut
lot (ou Cain aud George s(roets), were sold
on Wednesday last st ouctiou for purchase
money in favor of Mrs. Catherine A. Cur
rier; and we learn the sale was made un
der the supervision of his wife. The
arnouut of purchase money due was
$580.70. The sale realized only $75U,the
property being sold at a great sacriffo*.—
The purchasers were Mr. Geo. Ogletree
and another geutlemsu—a prominent oitr-
izen, who was iuducod to make ihe in
vestment because it was represented to
him that Mrs. Carrier was fully authorised
to make perfect titles. Since Evans' dis
appearance,however, he disavows the pur
chase. beiug satisfied that he oonid uot
obtain perfect titles.
Evau*, as ia remembered, waived ex
amination and was required to give a
bond of $1,00(). He wu* released tem
porarily from oQStody upon his word of
honor, to give him an opportunity to se
cure the neeeeeary bondsmen. Several
reliable gentlemen, among them Mr. J.

bondsmen unttt he oowld have n prelimi

Houho of Representatives, as 1 wa* curi
ous through some one iu Washington to
ascertain whether tho bullion had boon
accounted for to the United State*; of
which fact I aui *till unadvised.
Another curious “historic incident" oc
curred about thi* time. The day after
tho gold (that wa* carried away by the
Confederate train') left Wa*Uington, a
cavalryman throw a bug over General
Toombs' fence, and galloped off. On ex
amining it, the bag contained $5,000 iu
gold coin. Gen. Toombs immediately
sent it by my son to tho Federal Quarter
master then stationed at Washington, to
be used for provisions to supply such
troops us might pass through Washington
unprovided for.

The following explanation* wet© made
by Mr. Gladstone in the House of Com
mon* on tho 7th:
The great bulk of tbefto claim* nro, I
believe, simply of this nature: they arc
instrument* held by .peraous wbo lent
uiouey, or purohoaod from those who leul
money to the Confederate States, and
purporting generally to he secured upon
cotton being the property of those Con
federate States. Thfe cotton war Appro
priated or destroyed by the American
Government, or w*b supposed to have
been au, within certain date* ; and there
upon arise these claim*. However, the
only act taken advisedly by the British
Government on the cotton loan claims
ho* been this: After conoidering, with
very defective information, the various
form* which these cotton loan claims
might assume, we came to the conclnsiou
that there might be q#ses in which tho.io
bonds had been actually exchanged for
particular specified parcel# of eotton, and
in our view in aucb a case aa that they
would ceaae to be in reality and in sub
stance cotton loan claim#, and would be
come claims for the loss of property if
that particular cotton should hsve been
appropriated or destroyed. With that
reservation as to bonda which had been
converted Into visible property, the de- bavannah...
cision of her Majesty's Government, al- . Mobile
though ootue to, I believe, after this j Gtmrlenton
transaction at Washington had occurred, , Virginia...
wa* that these cotton loan claim* could | Texas
not be snstained by ns before the nrbitra
tor, and ought not to be presented by tu
to him for arbitration.
