(Cnnst'rtntinnalist 'lf, JUpnblir.! JAMES GARDNER, JR., ) and / Editors. JAMES M. SMYTHE, ) [From the Knoxville Plebiau.] Rail Road from Cincinnati to the South Atlantic Seaboard. The Slate of Ohio, though comparatively new, is already further advanced in wealth and com mercial greatness than any state in the Union. Her people are energetic, industrious, and enter prising, and her soil, rich and fertile, yields year ly its full measure of strengthtoaddtothe wealth ami independence of her thrifty sons. And in com parison to the trade of this great State, that „f the otl er States of the West and North-west hardly pproaches rivalship. At present the South-eastern cities get not a dollar’s worth of it. To secure it, would l>e a triumph they might well 1 e proud 01. That it can he secured, was demonstrated many years ago. Despairingof a direct connection with the South-atlantic sea board, they have, it is true, pushed forward their connection by railroad with the cities of New York and Philadelphia, but the great superiority of the southern marts for the sale of their pro ducts. will readily present itself to them, and the old will be abandoned for the new, when the means of reaching the latter are made as acces sible us those already possessed lor reaching the Ibriner. From Cincinnati, there are railroads either in operation or in progress, branching odt in every direction over the State. These already draw a vast deal of the products of the State into that city, whence it finds its way to New Orleans, or, by circuitous and expensive routes, to most of the southern States. Thus to secure this trade, Cincinnati presents itself as the natural ter minus of the railroad artery through which it must course its way directly to the south-east. Louisville is two low down ever to be the per manent terminus of this great channel of trade. A glance at the route of this line of railway will substantiate our declaration. Thus, taking Dal ton, Georgia, as the starting |xrint south, it is for ty miles to Chattanooga; one hundred and forty miles from Chattanooga to Nashville; one hun dred and seventy miles from Nashville to Louis ville, thence tuCincinnati one hundred and thirty miles ; in all. four hundred and eighty miles from Dalton, via Chattanooga, Nashville, and Louis ville, to Cincinnati. We have put down the distance from point to point very low, but we w ish to be on sale grounds. Now, starting at the same point, we find the distance from Dalton to Cincinnati, through F.astern Tennessee and Kentucky, to be hut three hundred and sixty miles, as Inllows from Dalton to Knoxville, one hundred and ten miles; Knoxville to Lexington, Ky . one hundred and seventy miles : Lexington to Cincinnati, eighty miles: giving a difference in favor of the latter route of from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty miles; thus : Dalton to Chattanooga, >lO Chattanooga to Nashville, 110 Nashville to Louisville, 170 Louisville to Cincinnati, 130 480 Dalton to Knoxville, 110 Knoxville to Lexington, 170 Lexington to Cincinnati, SO 3(10 Distance via Nashville, ISO “ “ Knoxville, 360 In favor of last route, 1 JO At Lexington there are three roads branching out, two ol them are now completed and the other in rapid progress. K.ach of these is about eighty miles in length—one striking the Ohio at Cov ington,opposite Cincinnati, in course of construc tion; another running to Louisville, ami another to .Maysville, the last, two completed,we belrjve. Thus it will be seen, that by the route projiosed, it will be hut ten miles further if indeed any, even to Louisville, than by the route now de pended upon.—Again, while 0 /e is hut one hundred and seventy miles waiting to complete the route as herein laid down by iis, and Ibrm an unbroken chain of railway Irom Cincinnati through F.astern Tennessee, to the seaboard, there is wanting on the other side three or four hundred miles, being all that portion of the line between Nashville and Louisville and Louisville and Cincinnati, amt the better half of that be tween Chattanooga and Nashville. There are a hundred advantages presented in this route of railroad over all others that are or call he devised, which will suggest tliemseles to the minds of the business men of the cities more directly interested. We have thrown together a few facts which all may ‘understand. The people of Augusta, Savannah and Charleston and of Cincinnati, ought to give this important sub ject their early attention.—The stock in this connecting link will he equal to, if not more valuable, we venture to say, than that of any road ill the country. It will he a vast tube, through which will flow the immense produce and the live-stock of Ohio and Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. No rival road can ever spring up to dispute the commerce of this vast section of country. Ohio would be drain ed of its vast surplus products, which concen trating at her great commercial emporium, Cin einnati. would flow through this channel to its almost undisputed monopoly of the southeastern markets; and in return Charleston and Savannah would soon become extensive importing cities, and instead ot the present yearly drain upon our currency for stock and produce from Kcu tucky.aml the west, the phase of things would be materially changed and a great share of that now taken back and carried to Philadelphia and New York, would£go to Savannah and Charleston, ami ne exchanged for merchandize that the peo ple of Cincinnati,-Charleston and Savannah are most directly interested, and upon them to a considerable extent devolves its construction. We ho|ie the public journals of the respective cities will, at an early day, present the subject to their readers lor their consideration. We feel that the connection is so important and so plainly practicable as to need very little argument to commend it to the favorable consideration of the business men of these cities. Pi.axk Roads ro Columbus.— The citizens of Columbus, in public meeting, have passed reso lutions calling upon the authorities to subscribe, in city Bonds, the sum of S>1(),000 towards the construction of a Plank Road from Columbus to Lannahassee, Lumpkin, or some other point in Stewart county : also, the further sum of $40,000 towards the construction of another Plank Road from Columbus to Ellerslie, with branches to Greenville and Talbottom These bonds are to be issued, one half when the sum of $20,000 has been subscribed by private stockholders, and the other half when the additional sum of $20,000 has been taken—ten thousand dollars worth of the Bonds to be made payable January Ist, 1852, and the balance in live and ten years, at 7 per cent. The sum of $16,000 was subscribed in the meeting, and the further sum of $15,000 guaran teed by Messrs. Mustain, Lowe and others—thus leaving no doubt in regard to the success of both enterprises. The meeting was a large one, and the city authorities will doubtless issue the bonds, as requested.— Journal a>ul Messenger. Salting and Packing Pork. —Pork should not be cut up until the day after it is slaughtered, as it will take salt too freely, and become too hard, if packed the day it is butchered; then to one thousand pounds take half a bushel of tine blown, mixed with an equal quantity of St. Übes or xround alum salt, and ten lbs. of sugar or a gallon of molasses, and twelve green, peppers, such as we raise in gardens, pounded fine and all mixed together, and well rub the pork with the mixture—pack it dry, and let it remain three weeks in that state: then make a strong brine that will bear a medium sized potatoe. and put over it, letting it remain in this pickle three weeks longer; then smoke it with hickory wood, and you will have good bacon. The pepper not only keeps off the dies in warm weather, but gives the meat a fine flavor —Dollar Newspaper. I (From the A". O. Delta , 26 th ult.) j Texas.—By the steamship Louisiana, Cptain .

A raihoad meeting was held at Corsicana, Navara county, on the 21st ult., and addresses j were delivered by Judge Phschal and others. The meeting appointed Mr. H. B. Martin and Dr. B. Graham as delegates to attend the rail road convention, to be held in New Orleans in January next. Resolutions were adopted re commending the Legislature to grant a strip of vacant territory, ten to twenty miles wide, for the proposed railroad from Eastern Texas to El Paso, the land to be sold at one dollar per acre, and the State to be a stockholder in the com pany to the amount of the money thus raised. The money is to be paid over to the company. It was also recommended that the State should appropriate two millions out of the ten millions received for the Santa Fe territory, and also all the vacant territory west of the Red River, as an Internal Improvement Fund, to be applied by the Legislature to the improvement of our rivers and the construction of railroads, with a view to the equal benefit of all parts of the State.

Serious Aeeray.—We learn that an affray took place at j away station between Forsyth and Macon, on the Macon 8c Western Railroad, on Saturday last between Mi Barefield a conductor on the road, and two Italian organ grinders, in which the former was seriously, it not latally wounded. The particulars as communicated to us are these:—The organ grinders got on board the cars at away station, without piocuring tickets, and Mr. Barelield went to them for their fare which they refused to pay. He suffered them to pass one or two stations when he at length told them if they did not pay their fare he would put them off the ear, which he did at one of the stations, we understand, when one of them told Mr. Barefield if he would get off'the car he would whip him. When -Mr. B. stepped on the ground one of the Italians struck him, which Mr. B. returned with interest, when the other Italian ran up behind him and stabbed him, the wound penetrating the right lung. At our latest advices, Mr. Barefield was in a very .critical situ ation. The Italians were bound, and placed on board the baggage car and conveyed to Macon and lodged in jail to await their trial lor the deed.— Southern Democrat, 21th ult.

We copy that portion of the Message of the President of France, which relates to the exten- j sion of suffrage. The doctrines of the Message, j according to our opinions here, are republican j and democratic. The French President is charged ; by some, in his own country, with selfish and interested motives. He, however, disclaims such influences, and avows that bis object is the public good. It would seem to us that the people of France have had sufficient experience under a republican form of government, to know how to guard their rights and liberties even under the univer sal suffrage suggested by the President, and this opinion is sustained by the large and respectable portion of the N ational Assembly who voted for the measure. It is true it was lost, but we must remember, that it is but a few years since the splendor and the shadows of royalty have ceased to dazzle in one sense and darken in another, the minds of the French people. Long established customs are not easily given up. Under monarchy, suffrage was much more , restricted than it now is. It is not astonishing I I that many of the leading minds of France should r think that universal suffrage is too great a stretch 1 ol power yet to place in the hands of the people, t Even some of those, who favor the policy, may ■ oppose it, now, as premature in the infancy of • French republicanism. ’ We, however, have merely copied that por tion ot the Message as it indicates the progress i ot liberal principles in the French Republic, and ■ especially as it comes from its Chief Executive officer. , The President stales that the country has generally been quiet. There were some excep ; tions, however, as the departments of Ardeche Cher ami Marne, had to be placed in a state of . seige in consequence of disturbances. On this i subject the President says “A vast demagogical conspiracy is now orgau -1 izing in France and F.urope. Secret societies are endeavoring to extend their ramifications I eveu into the smallest communes. All the mad , ness and violence ot the party is brought forth, while these men are not even agreed on persons or things, they are agreed to meet in 1852, not to | construct but to overthow. Your patriotism an J , your courage, with which I shall endeavor to keep pace, will, I am sure, save France from the ' dangers wherewith she is threatened. Rut to I conquer those dangers we must look at them without exaggeration, while we are convinced I that, thanks to the strength of the administra tion, to the .enlightened zeal of the magistates J to the devotion of the army, France will yet be saved. Let us, therefore, unite our efforts to de- i prive the spirit ol evil even of the hope ol a momentary success." > He projioses to prevent danger and difficulty j by public justice, a due protection of legitimate interests, a proper regard for supplying the de mands of labor, by encourageing agriculture,duly ; sustaining commercial credit, and fostering all charitable institutions for the relief of the poor. The Finances of the Republic are rejiorted to be in good condition. We are pleased to see that the President recommends assistance to private 1 enterprise, in extending commercial relations with trans-Atlantic countries. Much attention lias been paid to public works ami a gratifying progress had been made in the increase of schools and the dissemination of the blessings of edu cation. The President congratulate the Assembly on the state of their relations with foreign . powers, and says: “From all sides we receive i assurances ot the desire they feel to see our dif ficulties peaceably ended." The message js generally interesting. It is to be ardently desired that France, may not only i maintain her present republican form of govern ment, but that she may hold out the strongest inducements to other nations to imitate her ex ample. Railroad from Cincinnati to the South Atlantic Sea ’ board, j We would call attention to an article in ahoth - er column, in reference to the above Railroad route, which we copy from the KnoxvUle Plebian. The editor of that paper refers to the interest ta i ken some twelve years ago, in a projected Rail - road from Charleston to Cincinnati, and which was abandoned then, because of the vastness of , the undertaking and the supposed insurmounta ble obstacles in the way of its construction. And yet, a link of scarcely one hundred and seventy r miles is all that is wanting to connect Cincinnati , with Charleston and Savannah. ; There can be no question that the trade with ' Ohio-would be of great advantage to our section \ of country. Her net-work of Railroads now r completed, or in progress of construction, with > others which will be built, concentrating a vast trade at Cincinnati, would furnish, in the event . of the connection, a large and profitable source of i commercial intercourse for our section and the I seaports before mentioned. We merely refer to the subject byway of calling attention to the . suggestions of the Knoxville Plebian. i Presidents Message- A special Government Messenger passed j through this city on Sunday last, having in charge sealed packages containing copies of the Presi dents Message, for distribution in the several Southern cities as soon as it shall be known that it has been communicated to the two houses of j Congress. It will, no doubt, be delivered to-day . at 12 o'clock. If so we will give it to our rea - ders to-morrow morning, if the telegraph wires • are in order. , The agent made the run between Charleston . and Augusta, on the South Carolina Rail Road, ‘ in about three hours and twenty minutes, run -1 ning time. This speaks well for the enterprise I of our sister state. With the awakening spirit I iu the South, in building Rail Roads and estab > lishing manufactories of various kinds, the dayi not far distant, when we will see her sons com peting, successfully, with their northern brethren not only as regards speed on their Rail Roads in spinning up her Cotton, and manufacturing it in to 1 coarse goods, but in making buckets, brooms, wooden nutmegs, &c. To do this, however, the South never will ask of the General Government any protection. We perceive that the snow fell nearly all day on Tuesday last, in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Cincinnati, which at night turn ed to rain. I New Books.

This makes the fraction 74,000 over the one representative al . lowed. The Savannah Republican of Sunday says the recent heavy rains have caused such a rise in | the creek between stations 13 and 14 of the Geor gia Central Rail Road, that the embankment has given way, and the communication is kept up by passing around the gap iu carriages. The Republican judges the damage to be large. South Carolina—Gov. Means' Message. The message is short, and is confined mainly to a review of the domestic affairs of the State. A statement of the finances show the assets of the State to be 85,1.33,414, and the liabilities $3,208,- IJI, leaving a balance in favor of the Treasury of $1,904,989. The Governor recommends additional appro priations to the Military Schools of the State; and suggests that the Brigade Encampments of the Militia be discontinued. On the subject of federal relations, Gov. Means says little. He concludes his message with a brief summary of the wrongs which he conceives the South has sustained, and although reiterating his formerly-expressed opinions as to the course j in his judgement, it should pursue, yet he patri otically expresses his determination to acquiesce | in any action that may be taken by her cousti- I tuted authorities. j Dr. Wm.

Nov. 14.—We have had another brisk week in the Cotton market, and this time speculators have entered more extensively into the businesss than they have done of late, though the speculation may be more correctly described as a mere jobbing upon the turn of the market. The trade have increased their i extra stocks hy about 40.000 bales during the last week, and possibly they may add another 20.000 bales to it before they withdraw from the market. Holders have continued to meet the demand very freely, and thus we have to record only an advance of |d. per lb. upon U. S. cotton up to middling, while the better descriptions continue at nearly the same prices as before. Brazils have been in fair demand at steady prices. A good deal lias been done in Egyptians, particularly in the common descriptions, jurats have been in extensive request, one half on speculation, and we raise our quo tations for the lower qualities and for the better per lb. The demaud has rather fallen off as the week advanced. Adverse winds have kept out all supplies, of which there are however only about 37.000 bales known to be on the waj’ from the United States. A large business was done in manufactured floods at Manchester up to the market day on Tuesday, when there was less doing on account of the advanced rates demanded ; the market was. however, very firm as the stocks have become once more very light. Yarns have been in improved demand, and a further advance has been realized ; more business would have been doue as the shipping season to the North draws to a close, if there had stocks, but most spinners are under contract. The"adyauce obtained is fully equal to the advance in the price of Cotton. Spinners continue to stock themselves up to a certain extent, and will cease purchasing as soon as they consider themselves suffi ciently independent, for they consider the present state of the Cotton market entirely fictitious, and that the increasing scarcity is limited to within a very short pe riod LIVERPOOL.
