The Western and Atlantic Railroad
Just at present the merchants, and especially
teo commission merchants, of Chattanooga,
are most desirous of kaving some assurance
that there is to be no embarrassment created
here this winter by another blockade of freights
on the Western and 4-d au ^ c Railroad, such as
caused us so muchanaoyapce last winter. The
business of tee road will be greater by at least
half this year than it has been in any,former
one. The cotton cr«p is very large, and the
planters will have plenty of money to buy
goods from the North, to be shipped over this
road. Tho com crop of East Tennessee is tho
largest ever known, and it is probable that
nearly two millions 'of bnshels of com will
come to Chattanooga daring the next fomr
months, for shipment to the South over this
road, to say nothing of wheat and bacon.
The officers of the road admit that they can
not k with the road m its present condition,
avoid another and probably more disastrous
blockade. Col. E. W. Cole, President of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, has writ
ten a letter calling attention to this fact, which
is published in the Georgia papers. Foster
Blodgett, Superintendent of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, in a lottci? in reply, which
n» r-'-'^Ued. says that he is doing all he
can to put the road in good condition, but has
no hopes of being able io an so without an ap

tee railroad, and furnishes estimates from'
A L. Harris, Master of Transportation, show
ing the necessity for an immediate expendi
ture of $522,000, to put the road in proper
condition.
So far as we have seen, none uf il. nc • pa
pers of Georgia have contradicted tueso
statements, and all admit that the road is now
in miserable condition. Some of th papers
accuse the managers with .squandering the
proceeds of tee road for jvhn.'.u purposes.
, doro improbable things than this have hap
pened, and as thp road nas always been a sort
of political machine, there may be some
truth in the charges. But, of this we know
nothing and care less. The railroad belongs
to the State of Georgia, and if the people
choose to permit it to be managed as a politi
cal machine and its revenues expended for
party purposes, that is their affair and not
ours. We have no concern with the
local political issues of any other State
farther than as our own local inter
ests may be mixed with them. In this matter,
as we have said before, wo are deeply and al
most vilolly interested in having the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, the main trank line of
the whole South, placed in a condition to re
spond to the demands which the commerce of
Tennessee, and of the whole country, will
sorely make during tho approaching winter.
It is generally admitted that this can only be
into effeet tho suggestion made by tho honor
able Secretary. _

“Tho lecture that evening at the Musical

suspended at the back of the platform. Ex

his audience that his subject was Africa, and
alluding to some of tee natural productions of
that country. When he told them that it pro
duced ‘the red rose, the white rose and the
neg-rose,' they yelled with laughter. Never
once did he allow his countenance to relax
from its continuous-grave expression. In
stead of joining in the laughter he had elicited,
ho seemed to wonder whence it had arisen,
and to be slightly annoyed that lfo could not
speak without being laughed at Some of his

Divorce in High Li
The telegraph announces that the Lawton
divorce case was decided at Indianapolis on
Monday in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. L nvt. >n.
She was tho daughter of Horatio King, who
was first assistant postmaster general under
Buchanan, and her husband is a chief engineer
in the United States navy. The general charge
brought forward by her is of cruel treatment,
desertion and failure to provide. Lawton on
the other hand claims that she had deserted
him, and daring a three years’ stay in Europe
had given her affections to a Count Sehelen-
berg. Lawton was worth $25,000 at the time
of marriage, with a salary of $3,400. After
the marriage at Washington in 1862 he went
to Boston, where he was stationed, and
sought a cheap boarding house in that
city, where they remained several months.
In" the summer of 1862 she removed
to iter father’s lionse in Washington city,
while he remained in Boston. He never vis
ited her but once at her father’s. She was
about to give birth to a child. He was no
tified of her condition, but remained away
from he? aud never went until a dispatch from
his own sister summemed him to tne bedside
of his wife. Be reiuainod a few days after the
birth Qf his child, a^d then returned to his
post. When her b'&bo was a few weeks old, he j
directed her te* come to Fhiladfelphia, accom-'*
panted by UQ pne but her colored nurse. It is

How to Cause Dreams.
In order to prove that almost any dream can,
with tolerable certainty, be excited by special
classes of stimulants, M. Maury caused a se
ries of experiments to be performed ou himself
when asleep, which afforded vory satisfactory
results. 4 ~
First experiment.—Hb caused himself to be
tickled with a feather on the lips and inside of
the nostrils. He dreamod that ho was sub
jected to a horrible punishment. A mask of
pitch was applied to his face, ahd then tom
roughly off, takingvritli it the skin of his lips,
nose and Dace-
Second experiment—A pair of tweezers
was held a little distance from his ear, and
struck with a pair of scissors. Ho; dreamed

that he vas in Cairo, in the shop of Jean
Marie i’srjna. J^any sarpiising adventures
occmxed io him therp, t^-o dohiils of which
were forgotten.
Fourth experiment.-A burping lutifer ipntch
was held close, to lijs nostrils. Ijie dreauiqd
that he TU at rts (the. wind was blowing in
through the windows, and that th,c magazine
in the vessel blew up,
Fifth experiment.-r-He wns sjightly piimhcd
on the nape of the neqk. He dreamed that a
blister was applied, find this recalled tho
recollection of a physician that had treated
him in his infanoy.
Sixth experiment.—A piece of red-hot bon
was held close enough to him to communi-
cate a slight sensation of heat. He dreamed
teat robbers had got into the house and were
forcing tho inmates, by putting their feet to
tee fire, to reveal where their money was.
The idea of the robber suggested that glmSm
d’Abrantes, who, he supposed, had taken him
for her Secretary, and in whose memoirs he
bad read some account of bandits.
Seventh experiment.—The word parafagard-
miis was pronounced in his ear. He under*
stood nothing, and awoke with the recollection
of a very vague dream. The word woman ms
next used many timep.. He dreamed of differ
ent subjects, but heard a sound like , the hum
ming of bees. Several days after the experi
ment waa repeated with the words Azor,• Castor,
Leaore. On awakening he recollected that he
had heard the last two words, apd had attrib
uted teem to ono of the persons who had conr
duct at a sanitary lair in : Philaddpbm, where
he rudely insulted her in tee presence of a
number of strangers. They were passing
through one of tee halls, when she maue com
plaint teat lie was walking too fast for her to
follow him. He turned upon her in a rude
manner and told her she was a fool. Sooii
after this he was ordered to tee Chinese seas
with tee Asiatic squadron. He had always
shown a disposition to live as cheaply as he
could, and invariably selected the cheapest
hotels and cheapest boarding-houses that
could be found. He had made arrangements to
have a farewell interview with her before going
on shipboard, but instead of keeping his ap
pointment with his wife, he sent her a farewell
letter, excusing himself for not meeting her
according to promise, and inclosing a few
postage stamps and five cents in postal cur
rency, saying that was all he hack Before
starting he had arranged that his wife should
3 tend tho period of.his absence in Europe.
is farewell letter was a cold, inhuman and
insulting document.
. When'he returned to the United States he
spent a month in New York before taking
passage for Europe to join his wife and child,
and on the 4th of October arrived at Paris.
He then informed his wife that she could not
accompany him on a tdnr of teo continent as
she and the child would be troublesome. Ho
did hot wish her for his guide, although sho ;
had spent years in stndv to accomplish herself
to accompany him. They remained in Paris
two days, and went thence to Gfeneva. There,
in the presence of strangers, he whs heard to
curse and damn his wife, because ertie stood at
tho. do or* .too. Ion" with some‘of her friends.
She was oyenvhelmcd and terrified at his vio
lence, and attempted to ring the. Bell to Call
assistance. He then left her and started bn
his European tour atone. All these facts he
admitted to her brother (hjf. King,) who has
testified as a witness iq. this cage. • He loft her

[From Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China,
iting his homo ih Penn.]
Washington, Penn. ,
Dear Sins: During a residence of somo ton years as
a missionary in Siam and China, I found your Vegeta
ble Pain £iUor a most valuable remedy for that fear-
fhl scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine I found it most ef
fectual to give a tcaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of
hot water sweetened with sugar ; tHen, after about fif
teen minute? begin to givo about a teaspoonful of the,
same mixture every few minutes until relief was ob
tained. Apply hot applications to the extremities.—
Bathe tho stomach with tho Pain Killer, clear and rub
the limbs briskly. Of those who had tiio cholera, and
took the medicine faithfhlly in the way stated above,
eight out of ten recovered.

If attacked with tho Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cramp,

Fcngchow, China.
Dear Sirs: Dating a long residence in China I havo
used your invaluable Pain Killer, both In my own fam
ily and among the Chinese, and have found it a most
excellent medicine. In the summer of 1862 and *63,
whiT fl rowiAfng to fjhsngfiaf; I-found it an. almost cer
tain cure for cholera, if used in time. Indeed, using
it in a great many instances, I do not remember fail
ing in a single case. For threo years I have been re
siding in this place, more than fifty miles from a phy
sician, and have been obliged often to fall .upon my
resources in cases of sickness. The Chinese come
to us in great numbers for medicine and . advice.—
Though without medical knowledge ourselves, tho few
simple remedies we can command are so much in ad
vance even of their physicians, that we havo almost
daily applications. We allow them to come, because
it brings us in contact with them, aud opens a door of
usefulness. In diarrhoea, colic, vomiting, cholera,
coughs, etc..year Pain Killer has boon my chief med
icine. * ■* '* m ■" m
Yours very truly,

ach Bitters. Whether tha state of exhaustion has been
brought on byaxoestfi c physical labor, dissipation,
, of mind, exposure or any other cause, the re
medial effectof this great stomachic will be found
equally prompt and certain. As a restorative, after
vere sickness has prostrated the bodily and mental
energies, it is pronounced by competent medical mm
thority, ‘-the best tonic in use.” If men wa*e'^|
foolishly careless about their healfh, and over ebnfi-
dent in themselves, they would always, when engaged
in any work that rteqnircd great exertion, use corres-
ponding means of sustaining their strength. For this
purpose Hostetter’s Bitters are invaluable. AO toUerJ
should use them as an invigorant.
For those-constaatly employed in in-door occupa. I
tions, especially "in crowded workshops, they may bo
reckoned as the very best safeguard of health. Where
there is a predisposition to constipation, or a tenden
cy to bilioushess, they may be truly sold to be a specific
for which there is no substitute. oct 8-dfcWlw
