'llie Sickles Tragedy.
Afii' Knitxh. t.'tr. -A Wasliiugtou cor-
respondent cJ' the N Vork Time- w
Sunday as follows:
LaM evening I took tea with au old Itali
gentleman whom I met at Sickles' prison, and
who, though be has mingled little in the world
posse -es a most refined and cultivated mind
He told me that for thirty years lie had he
the intimate friend of Mr. and Mrs. Sickles'
family, ami his story of those years was at tho
present moment so interesting, when so many
fictions are floating about, that I thought I
would give it to you in the simple touching
words in whicli he told it.
Mrs. Bagioli, lie told me, the mother of Mrs
Sickles was born in the year 1319, at Croton
Falls. Westchester county. Her maiden name
was Cooke. At the age of fourteen she came
with her family to New York, nnd was short
ly after adopted by the well-known Italian
poet and nuthor, Lorenzo da Ponte. She was
a bright and somewhat beautiful girl, and very
shortly after her adoption was married to An
touio Bagioli, a composer and professor
music, who was a visitor at Da Ponte’s bou,-
M. Bagioli is a native of Italy, but has reside
in your.city.for thirty years, and by those who
know him, is said to be much respected and
esteemed. Mrs. Bagioli bore to her lm-baud
an only child. Therese Bagioli, the unhappy
wife of Daniel E. Sickles, upon whom was
lavished her parents’ undivided love. No ex
pensc was spared to afford her all those ac
eomplishments which form the best accompa
niment of Beauty. She was educated at the
best schools of New York, and, finally, sent
to the Manhattanville Convent of the Sacred
Heart. Da Ponte’s son, Lorenzo da Ponte
Jr., resided at this time with his father, and
was professor of belle* UUret, philosophy and
literature in the University of New York.—
With him, as with Dugatd Stewart, in Scot
land, were placed several young men of edn
cation. Of this number were Mr. Earncs,
this city, Mr. Bigelow, of the Evening Post,
aud Mr. Sickles. Tho Bagiolis also resided
in tho same house, and continued to live there
after the death of Prof. Da Ponte. Living in
the same house in which his wife was born,
Mr. Sickles saw her grow up from infancy to
womanhood. Their association gradually rip
ened into love. Ho pressed bis suit upon her
father, who at once made serious objections to
tho match, not from dislike to Mr. Sickles,
bnt from the belief that bis daughter was too
young for marriage, had seen nothing of the
world, and was of a mind too unformed to read
correctly her own heart Parental opposition
in this, as in so many other deplorable cases,
only ended in a clandestine marriage, which
was performed before Mayor Kingsland, the
Mayor of the city of New York.
The consequence of this secret wedding soon
made concealment impossible, and the marri
age, after the full confession required by the
Roman Catholic Church, was solemnized again,
and received, the seal of religious ratification
from the hands of Dr. Hughes, the Roman
Catholic Archbishop, at his private residence.
The fruit of that wedding was one fair child,
with a face like her mother's, who. unconcious
iy.at this moment suffers, perhaps, the deepest
injury from her mother’s surrender to sin. It
is, to day, precisely twelve mouths since that
father and mother, now so deeply stricken,
were making with affectionate zeal the gayest
preparations for the christening of this child
for whom, tho President, Mr. Buchanan, and
the charming Mrs. Senator Slidell bad volun
tarily sought the sponsorship. It is a singular
coincidence that this little girl, Mrs. Sickles,
and Mr. Sickles himself, were all three only
children, over whose miserable fate three liv
ing mothers now hang broken hearted.
Tim Big Bolt-Tailca Bull-Fly of
MISSOURI.
The following short speech lately delivered
before the Missouri Legislature, is well worthy
of the leader’s perusal. It is short, but to the
point, and enlivened throughout with the rid.
teutons:
Mr. Pitt offered the following :
Resolved, That the Speaker be authorized
to cause to be printed and posted, one hundred
bills, announcing the eighth of January, 1859.
Mr. Abney. I move to lay that resolution
on the table.
-Mr. Pitt.—Mr. Speaker, this House passed
resolutions, sir, to celebrate, in an appropriate
manner, the 8th of January. This is a reso
lution simply asking that notice be given to
the public of that day. AVe have declared
intention, and now, when we come to publish
it, some gentleman is suddenly seized with tho
“retrenchment gripes,” and squirms around
like a long red worm on a pin hook. (Laugh
ter.) Gentlemen keep continually talking a-
bout economy. I. myself, do not believe in
tying the public purse with cobweb strings,
but when retrenchment comes in contact with
patriotism, it assumes the form of “smallness. 1
Much economy is like that of Old Skinflint,
who had a pair of boots made for his littlo boy,
without soles, that they might last the longer
(Laughter.) I reverence “ the day we cele
brate.” It is fraught with reminiscences the
most stirring; it oriugs to mind one of the
~est events ever recorded in letters of liv-
firo upon the walls of Fame, by the strong
_ it arm of the god of war.' On such occasions
wc should rise above party lines aud political
distinctions. I never fought under the banner
of Old Hickory, but, “ by the eterna.” I wish
1 had. (Laughter and applause.) It'the old
war borsc wan here now, he would not know
his own children from the side of Joseph’s coat
of many colors—Wbigs, Know-Nothings, Dem
ocrats.'hard. -oft-boiled, scrambled and fried;
Lincolaites, Doaglasitcs, and blatherskites ?
I belong to no party; I am Free, unbridled,
unaadled. in the political pasture. Like a big
bobtailed bull in fly time, I charge around in
the high grass and light roy own flics. (Great
laughter.) Gentlemen, let us show our liber
ality on patriotic occasions. Why, some men
have no more patriotism than you could stuff
the eye of a knitting-needle. Let us not
squeeze five cents till the eagle on it squeals
like a locomotive or an old maid. Let us print
the bills and inform the country that wc are
at full of patriotism as Illinois swamps arc of
tad-poles. (Laughter.) I don’t believe in
doing things by halves. Permit me, Mr.
Speaker, to make a quotation from one of our
noblest authors

In Love.
UV JAMES W. HCDERiaff,
‘Dear me,” said Ford I-angdon, as he tossed
aside the stump of an old cigar and leaned hack
reflectively in liis easy chair, “what a sweet nui
sance it Is to be in love ; |>o- i ti vely all my affairs
are going to ruin and I am not able to prevent
it. ’Twas only this morning tliat I endeavored
to figure up some neglected accounts, and had
to give it up in despair. You see; Ed,” continu
ed he, more particularly addressing his com
panion, who was composedly replenishing the
grate with anthracite, “it went on reiy well at
tirst, but presently I began to think about Nel
lie, how she looked when I last saw her, wheth
er she was not vexed about something when we
parted, and then the figures began to multiply
and disappear until I had to commence over a-
gain, and finally desist.”
■ “Well, Fred, why don’t you end it, and know
whether you are to be happy or miserable for
the future, at once F*
“I mean to; but, you see; I’m so afraid of
“O, bother! you’d get over the effects of it in
a week. In my opinion it would be the best
thing that could happen. I’ve been “through
the mill,” and, let me tell you the more you
show your love the more women tyrannize; at
tirst everything is sweet, smiles for looking and
kixscs for asking, but when the Cur syren thinks
you are inextricably involved in the meshes of
her charms, a change at once comes o’er the
spirit of the dream, and you may discharge a
balloon full of sighs before you bring down a
single smile. Now just try his new brand; push
tho spittoon a little nearer, and I’ll tell some
thing that happened to me before I knew youF‘
“1 shall he delighted, I’m sure,’’ said "Fred;
“but give vs facts, Ed ; that is, don’t spin your
yam too literally as you proceed.”
“I promise you I wont, you only listen!—
Ten years ago I was of your age, studying
with old Doctor Clark in New Yon;, and found
it about as hard work to conquer the hidden
mysteries of medicine as you did yesterday to
balance your accounts. Yes, somehow. I’d got
the idea into my head that Emma Claverly was
perfection; tliat a glance from her eyes eclipsed
Venus, and that a smile from her rosy mouth
was the fairest flower nature could offer to gaze
upon.
“Every spare hour found me hovering around
the little rose-embowered cottage in the extreme
suburbs of the city, where she and her paternal
relative resided. ' I had the good fortune, as I
then considered it, to be acquainted with her
papa, and surely tho infinity of snuff I took,
and the quantity of old fogyism I discussed, to
creep into his good graces would have killed
any one but a 1 over.—Yet 1 don’t believe the
dear old gentleman ever for a moment inspected
that I loved Emma. Be that as it may, he al
ways went to sleep after tlie second game of
backgammon whicli I endeavored to consummate
with all decent celerity.
“Eiuma soon found out I was in Iore, and I
believe enjoyed it amazingly. Then 1 had a
peat deal or the sentiment clinging to me, and
1 remember, one evening departing with the
determination to stifle the little rascal who had
so skilfully used me as a target, because Emma
had played with the kitten the whole evening,
to the entire exclusion of every thing else; but
the next evening found ine tlicre again, and I
could see the sly little maiden's eyes sparkle as
she enjoyed the sport.
“I assure you, Fred—confidentially, of course
—I have often thought that women seldom love
really; with them it seems more a pleasure of
triumphing over some unfortunate beau until lie
become* too earnest to please longer, and then
cut the silken bonds, caring little whether there
arc other invisible bands that time alone can
sever. However, to ray stoiy.
“One evening I found I had a rival in the
Held, a regular pink and cream looking lady-
killer, who nursed a delicate moustache and im
maculate shirt bosom, and tlie tint hour of our
acquaintance, during a discussion, patronizingly
called me my “dear hoy.” I made up my mind
to bring matters to a focus pretty soon, and,
early the next evening, being dressed to kill,
took the cars with the firm determination to ven
ture, anil, If relUsed, to do something desperate;
wliat that should be I had not quite resolved
I got there in due time and found the fates
jropetious; Emma was all alone, her papahav-
ng gone to see an old friend, as she demurely
informed me. Somehow I never felt it so diffi
cult to talk as just then, it was my tirst attempt
in that line, and therefore couldn't be wondered
at I distinctly remember repeating three times
over what a delightful evening it was, which no
body contradicted, ami at length blundered out
a request for my Cair enslaver to accompany me
on a walk; to this she replied, shortly, in the ne
gative. I then said I had something particular
lo communicate, and that was the reason I wish-
ed her to accompany me out “Well, say it
here.’ replied she. I took her at her word, with a
sort of nervous courage, and commenced to recite
a well written declaration that I had committed
to memory for the occasion, and almost half got
through when I perceived her smiling I tell you,
Fred, I felt more blood aliout my cranium just
then,than usual,and I am afraid I finished rather
abruptly.
“I am taken so much by surprise, Mr. Al
len,” saidshe, (I could swear the littlo hypocrite
had ticen expecting it for the last month) that I
really do not know what to say.” I implored
her to say yes, but slic was perfectly obdurate,
and tlie most 1 could obtain was that she would
let me know.
‘Thus matters rcniaincd for a month or two,
and, evening after turning, I asked her to say
yes,—in lact I got quite in practice, and from
those first initiatory lessons learned to do the
nutter up in proper style, but all in vain. Em
ma would tell me not to tease her, and Fd go
away more inlatuated than ever. Just then
my 'father whom you know lives near Charles-
ton, S. C., was token suddenly ill, and I re
ceived a letter requesting my immediate attend
ance. A steamer sailed on the following day,
and I got all ready, and then, bad as you may
think me for it, went to see Emina, resolved on
carrying her consent by a coup de main. But
she defended the outposts gallantly, and tho ut
most I could obtain was a promise to write if
she resolved on a favorable answer.
I went, and the novelty of the journey drove
Emma a little out of my head. When I arrived
I found my lather last recovering, and in a week
or so was as well as ever; as I had not been home
for a year, of course they made considerable of a
fuss, and among other excitements, gave a par-
for my especial benefit, to which the neigh
boring chivalry and beauty were invited. It
was there I met Matilda Merton, and the glance
of her eyes shattered the armor thas the visions
of Emma had hitherto clothed me with; and
when I came to know and converse with her,
Emma's power was entirely destroyed.
the post office I met him returning with a smil
ing countenance beaming with the conscious
uesa of hai iug performed every thing right.
••Three davs after I had the pleasure of
learning that Miss Merton had been engaged
for six months to a lieutenant in the navy. After
that 1 departed for N. Y. and soberly applied
inyself to professional studies ; never saw Em
mu but once since, and that was the day she
was married; and feel now that I would uot
exchange uiy snug, bachelor condition to mai-
ry cither of them. Come, let’s be moving on
towards the academy, or we won't hear much
singing to-night.”
The Mirknnsaw Traveller.
Our friendly and gratify tug-coimnendful cor
respondent “ Saw Dust,” of Pass Christian,
Miss., must pardon us for presenting a some
what reduced copy of his clever sketch, where
in wc have endeavored to preserve the spirit
of the original: In the early settlement of
Arkansas, a traveller, after riding seme eight
or ten miles without meeting a human being,
or seeing a human habitation, came at length,
by a sudden turn of the wood-road, to a mis
erable “shanty,” tlie centre of a small clearing,
in what had originally been a Black-jack-
thicket,” whence the ouly sound that proceeds
is the discordant music of a broken-winded
fiddle, from the troubled bowels of which the
occupant is laboriously extorting the monoto
nous tune known as "The Arkansas), or Hack
ensack Traveller.” Our traveller rides up to
within a few feet of the door, which was once
the bed-frame of a cart body, now covered with
bear skins and hung upon two big wooden
hinges. After much shouting, the inmate ap
pears, fiddle in hand and evidently “wrathy”
at being interrupted in the exercise of his art
llie following colloquy ensues, tho indefatiga
ble fiddler still playing the first strain of “The
Arkansas Traveler,” which in fact he contin
ues, at sadden intervals, until the dialogue, as
will be seen, is brought to an unexpected con
clusion. If this be not seeking lodgings under
difficulties,” we should like to know what might
be legitimately so considered:
Traveller: “Friend can I obtain accommo
dation fov the night with vou ?”
Arkansas “Artist,” “ No, Sir—'nary ’com-
modation for the night with you ?”
Traveller: “ My dear sir, I have already
travelled thirty miles to day, and neither my
self nor :ny horse has had a mouthful to eat;
why can’t you accommodate me for to-night ?”
Ark. “ Artist,” “ Just case it can't he did.
We arc plum out of everything to eat in the
in the house: Bill’s gone to mill with the last
nubbin tf corn on these premises, and it’ll be
nigh onto the shank of to-morrow evenin’ afore
he comen home, unless sutbin oncommon hap
pens.”
Traveller : “ You surely have something
that I cin feed to my horse; even a few pota
toes would be better than no food.”
Ark. •’ Artist ” “ Stranger, our catin’-roots
'gin out about a week ago; so your chance U
slim thar.
Traveller: But my friend I must remain
with you, any way. I can’t go any father,
whether I obtain anything to eat or not. You
certainly will allow me the shelter of your
roof ?”'
Ark. “ Artist“It can't be did, old boss.
You see we’ve got only one dried hide on the
premises and me and the old ’oaian alius occu
pies that; so wbar’s your chauce ?“
and he'u take keer of him. Ole woman, you
call Sail and Nano.- up from the spring; tell
Nance to go into the spring boose and cut off a
good big piece ov harsteak; to brile for the
stranger's supjKT; tell Sail to knock over a
chicken or two, and git out some flour, and have
sum flour doted and chicken lixins for the stran
ger. (Bill heaves in sight twenty four hours
earlier than he was expected a half hour be
fore.) Bill, O Bill! there's a stranger here, and
he plays the turn of the “Hackensack Traveller;”
go to the corn crib and git a big pumpkin, and
bring it to the house, so the stranger can have
suthin to set on and skin a tatcr 'long with me
and the old woman, while the gals is gettin’
supper; and, Bill take the boss and give him
plenty of com; no nubbins, Bill; then rub him
down well; and then, when you couje to the
house, bring up a dried hide and a barskin, for
the stranger to sleep on; and then. Bill, I reck-
hc’II play the turn of the “ Rsckcnsack Travel
ler” for us.”
Tho pumpkin was brought; the “ taters ”
were “skinned" and eaten; tho “ turn * of the
“Hackensack Traveller” was repeatedly played,
to abundant edification; and the “gals” finally
announced tliat “ supper was ready;” and al
though instead "store-tea,” they only had “sax-
fluctea doing," without milk; yet the repast
was one to he long and gratefully remcmebered.
Tlie traveller remained all night, and was pilot
ed safely over the “ big creek ” early the next
morning. Of trutli, “music has'charms to
soothe the savage breast!”—Knickerbocker.
A Tougb nn.
A good story is told in an Eastern paper of a
drunken husband by his amiable spouse. Af
ter trying various expedients, she at last be
thought herself of a plan of reforming her lord.
She engaged a watchman for a stipulated reward
to cany Philander to the xvatch-housc, while yet
in a state insensibility, and to frighten him a
little when he recovered. Under this arrange
ment Philander woke about eleven o’clock at
night and found himself lying on a pine bench,
in a strange and dim apartment liaising him
self upon his elbow, ho looked around untjl
his eye rested upon a man seated by the stove,
smoking a cigar, ‘Where am I ?’’ said Philan
der.
“In a medical College," said the cigar smo
ker."
‘Wliat a-doing there
‘Going to be cut up.'
‘IIow came that T
‘Why, you died yesterday, while you were
drunk, and we bought your body to make an
anatomy 1
It’s a lie, I’m not dead.’
“No matter; we bought your carcarss of your
wife, who had right to sell it, for its all tiic pod
she ever could make of you If you’re not dead,
that’s no fault of the doctors, and they’ll cut you
up, dead or alive.’
‘You will do it, eh !' asked the old sot.
‘Ay, to be sure we will—now, directly,’ xvas
the resolute answer.
‘Well, can’t you let ine have something to

This last speech satisfied the watchman that

was contingent on successful treatment of the
patient, he was not a little cliagrined at the re

_ „ - . ... . , . JosiaU Goodwin, whoso death occurcd on Sun-
Traveller : Allow me to hitch my horse to j a y a t the age of 77, may well be called a
ma s power was entirely ucstroyeu.
Weeks glided by, ami I had ceased entirely
write to roy former New York enslaver, who
had never replied to any of my letters. Miss
Merton engrossed the wliolc of my thoughts,
and one morning, I was not alittlc surprised by
receiving, a letter from New York, evidently in
Emma’s liand writing. To tell you the truth,
I trembled a little aa I opened it, (perhaps with
curiosity) but my suspense was soon at an end ;
it merely contained tlie single word, “Yes,'’
written in largo letters, and, underneath, the
name “Emma."
Now that letter, some weeks ago, would
have caused something of nn excitement in the
ay of a dozen darkies flying round to pack
that peisimtnon tree, and witn my
blanket I'll make a bed in the' fence-corner.”
Ark. “ Artist,” “ Hitch your boss to that
’aiumon tree ?—in a horn! Why, you must
a be nat ral fool, stranger! Don’t you see that’s
me and the old woman’s only chance for ’siin-
mon bejr, in the fall of the year ? If your
boss is no tornal hongry as you say he is, he’d
girdle i ; as high up as he could reach, afore
inornin.” Hitch your boss to that tree! I
’spcct not; no, no, stranger, you can’t come
nary sith a dodge as that.”
Our traveller seeing that be had an original
to deal with, and being himself an amateur
performer upon the instrument to which the
settier was so ardently attached, thought he
would change his tactics, and draw his deter
mined rot to be “host,” out a little, before in
forming him of the fact, that he too could play
the “Arkansas Traveller;” which once being
known, he rightly conjectured, would be a pass
port to his better graces;
Traveller: “ Well, friend, if I can't stay,
how far is it to the neat house ?”
Ark. “Artist;” “Ten miles; and you’ll
think t'ley’re mighty long ones, too, afore you
get thar. I came nigh onto forgittin’ to tell
you, the big creek is up; the bridge is carried
off; there’s nary yearthly chance to ford it,
yer’ll hive to go about seven miles up stream,
to ole I'avc Lody’s puncheon bridge, through
one of ;he darndest bamboo swamps ever you
seed. I reckon the bridge is standin’yet —
'twas yesterday inornin’: though one end had
started down stream about fifteen feet, or sich
a matter.’
Traveller: “Friend, youscctn communica
tive ; aud if it's no offence. I’d like to know
what you do for a living here ?”
Ark. “ Artist:” “ No offence on ycarth.
ut you are wn-
mir acquaint
than vou do
stranger; we just keep a grocery."
Traveller: “ A grocery! Where in the
name of all that is mercantile do your custo
mers come from ? Your nearest neighbor is
ten miles distant
Ark. “Artist:” “The fact is, me and the
ole woman is the best customers yet; but we
’spcct these diggins will improve, and in course
business will improve too. Hows’ ever, we do
sutbin now, even. Me and the ole woman
took the cart t’other day, and went down
to towu; wo bort a bar’l of whis-key; and
arter we come home, nnd ’gin to count the
balance on hand, we found thar want but
jist one solitary picayune left, and as the
ole woman carries the pas, in course she had
it. Well. I sot the bar’l gin one side of the
room, and shortly arter, the old woman says:
“Supposin’ you tap youreend of the bar’l,” and
I did; and she bought a drink, and paid me
the picayune. Pretty soon, I begun to get
dry, and sez I: “Ole woman, sposin’ your
tap your eend of the bar’l F’—-and she did ;
and then she sells me a drink; and tho. way
that picayun lias travelled back'ards and lor ■
aids over the bung of that burl, is a caution to
them r.s loves “red eye.” But, stranger, losses
is apt to come with every business and me and
the ole woman has lost some in the grocery line;
and I’ll tell yow 'twas. Tliat boy Bill, our eld
est son, he seed how the liquor was goin’, and
he diil’nt have nary red to join in the retail
business; so one night be crawls under and
Ups the bar’l atwixt the cracks in the puncheon
floor, and 1 r'aily believe he's got more tlian me
or the old woman cither; the -good for nothin’
vagabond to come the gi raff over his nat era]
born parents; it’s chuff to make a man sour a-
gin all creation; that boy'll be the ruination of
us yet He takes to trickery jist as nateral as a
hungry possum takes to a hen roost Now,
stranger, what on ycarth am I to do ? He beats
me and the ole woman holler.”
Traveller: “It would be difficult for me to
advise in regard to your son, as I have no fiiin-
ily of my own. You say its ten miles to the
next house; the big erode is up. the bridge ear
ried away; no possibility of fording it anil sev
en through a swamp to the only bridge in the
vicinity f This is a rather gloomy prospect

Las vou have on-
strongest man in Jappa. Ho could swing a
barrel of flour by each arm, and jump a distance
of 12 feet He never lost sight of the smoke
that curled from his own chimney. He never
was out of this county, and but once out of this
town, when he visited a training at BoAford, a
distance of ten miles, which was the greatest feat
he ev«, undertook. From his residence to our
market is about a mile, but he seldom came
more tlian once a year, and then preferred to
row his boat up the river rattier than to walk.
He never ventured to enter 'the chains of Hy
men, and lived a life of single blessedness. lie
never had a sick Jay until liis last sickness.
He was never heard to utter a profane word, or
one unbecoming to a gentleman, lie never used
intoxicating drinks or played a game of cards.
He never had a case in court, and was never in
one, either as a juror, witness, or spectator. lie
never rode upon a steamboat or rail car, and not-
withstanding for 77 years he lived in that local
ity, lie was scarcely known out of bis own ward.
Being conscientiously honest from principle, lie
was governed in his intercourse with mankind
by tlie motives of justice and a purpose to do
righL—He was of strict integrity, firm in liis
convictions of truth and faithful to all trusts

ho was good natured, urbane and kind; gaining

CUTLERY!
Destructive JLnnd-Sldc at Troy.
Another great Ida Hill land-slide occurred last
evening about 8 o’clock, with destructive conse
quence, as it broke down and buried up a largo
portion of St Peter’s College, in course of erec
tion. Tho building was intended to be a very
large one; 200 feet in length and live stories
high, with two towers. Only two stories had
been completed, and the work of construction
was in vigorous prosecution at tho time of tlie
disaster. The walls of die building served as a
harrier to resist the moving mass, and though
they arc ruined and buried up, they probabl
served to avert the destruction of much proper
ty, and perhaps several lives, on lots farther
west The side was noiseless until it struck
the side of the college building, when there was
a fearful crash of walls and timber. The centre
of the building is buried up to the depth of sev
eral feet At the south about onc-quartcr of the
building is still standing; at the north lianlly
raore than the cml wall remain. It is said that
from $10,000 to $15,000 had been already expen
ded on the work—the foundation being very
solid. Probably two thirds of, this is a total
loss. No workmen had been in the building since
tlie previous day (St Patrick’s being a holiday;)
hut twenty minutes before the occurrence a
crowd of boys were playing upon the beams
and walls. The time of the accident prevented
a fearful loss of life—over one hundred mechan
ics being on the building.—Troy Bad get,

The Opelika Itail Koad meeting;.
On Saturday last a meeting of delegates as
sembled at Opelika, to consider the feasibility
of a Bail Road from Opelika to some point on
the Selina and Tennessee Road. Delegates
were present from Tallapoosa, Chambers, Russell
and Columbus. Thc claims of two routes
were presented, and strongly enforced by their
respective friends. Thc route from Opelika,
or some point on thc Selma Tennessee Road,
west of tne town of Talladega, was presented
and advocated by Messrs. Me Craw and Slaugh
ter, of Tallapoosa; and tliat from Opelika via
Lafayette, Jlilltown and, Louina, to Oxford, on
the Selma aud Tennessee Rpacl, was presented
and advocated by Mr. Smith, of Randolph, and
Messrs. Carlyle and Stone, of Layayctte. Each
party gave a vety favorable report of the, ad
vantages that would accrue to Opelika, Colum
bus and S avannah, from their respective routes.
In thc absence, however, of any definite infor
mation as to the probable cost of the respective
roads, or the prospects of liberal subscriptions
by tl ic people on the line of the routes, a motion
was made by the Opelika and Columbus dele
gations. to adjourn the meeting over to the 4th
