ADDRESS OF THE DIRECTORY OF THE E\S !' TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA RAILROAD COMPANY TO THE PUBLIC. By the authority of the Directory of the East Ten n vs see and Georgia Kail o idCompa n\, the Committee charged with the duty would respectfully solicit the attention of the citizens of East Tennessee, and of others in terested, elsewhere, to a car did consideration ol the facts, statements and suggestions, in the following Address. It is well known, that about ten years a large amount of funds was expended on an East ienucssce work of improvement. We allude to the Iliwassee Railroad. Had that ■ improvement been carried on to completion. " ns originally designed, without the suspension that has taken place, Ea>t Tennessee w iuld doubtless this day be reaping a rich harvest of prospei ity. Embarrassments, however, of one kind or another, forced a suspension cf the work. With its failure were crushed, for a time, the hopes of its most ardent friends : and many of them were much injured and einbar- I rassed in their pecuniary condition. Cast down, yet not coi.quered, thev have not ceased to struggle, and recently have given evidence, | not to be mistaken, of their magnanimity an I devotion to the cause of improvement. Ko .u- I lar clamor charged that there had been extra vagance and an unpardonable waste of fun Is ; ' that the work hid cost much more than i was worth; and that new friends could not come into the partn ;rship on equal tern,. To re- I move this difficulty the L-ghlari.re of the JState, at the request of the friends of the en terprise, passed a law au’horiz ng and din cting the valuation of the work done, in its pre-ent k condition, and the valuation of the paid stock p in the Company to an equal amount with the valuation of the work. Messrs Luke Lea, oi Bradley, and David A. Deaderick, of Knox, Commissioners appointe I by the State, and Messrs, John Crawford and David Cle.ige, of McMinn, Commissioners on the part of the in dividual Stockholders—all gentlemen of the first respectability, and in every way well qualified to discharge the duties assigned them —after dui and patient deliberation, have as sessed and valued the work done on the road, in its present condition, at the sum of fjur hundred and fifty-four thousand dd/ars, being | just one-half of the amount expended up to the Ist of April, 1818 —the State losing one half of h r expenditures, and the individual Stockholders one-half of the amount paid in by individuals. It is proper to remark th it this reduction is not the work of the D neco ry the Committee represent. It was author- | i/.e l and sanctioned by the State, through the representatives of the people n the L gi-la ture, and by the assent of the individual Stockholders. The old Stockholders, by this ft surrender of their interest, have acted nobly, and have laid a broad ground for a great pub- I licbcnefit. Bv this reduction it is readi y seen that great advantages are presented, and will accrue to new Stockholders. By an am -mi I.ne.it to the C iart -r, and with the assent of the St -ckiiol lei-, the uam • of the Cc-mpany is changed am it now assumes and takes the corporate name and stvle of the *■ En-t Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Com- i puny.” Tie oil is ue initcly local d the whole dis tance fiom the Georgia line to Know 11 a distance of n nety-eight miles. The gra ling and masonry a;e complete I from the Ge rgia line to Blair’s F rry on the 1< nnessee riv.-r, u distance of sixty-six mi'ts, with the ex: option of a section of about tiiree miles, not vn v heavy work. A portion of the grading is also done on the North sale of th • Tennc-see ri ver. A good bridge is con-ti iicte I across the Iliwassee river. The road, though left so long unpro e.;te !, is in a good state of preset vati »n, and to repair it will cost verv little. The work ► is all of the most substantial charact -r. The road is ue.l located. I s grades in no instance exceed 38 feet to the mi e, and its most rapid curves have a radius of 3,100 leer. The origi nal estimate for its cost of constinotion wa- SI 1,500 per mile; which, had the work pro-; grossed without suspension, it would not, it is believed, have exceeded. The same am mat of work, the Committee believe, eann >t any where be shown for as small an expenditure as the amount of the present valuation, viz: $401,000, w hich includes also the real estate held, right of way procured, and all other as sets of the Conq any. The Committee bed ve they may safely challenge a cmnparis m < f cost with any improvement in the Union of the same character, taking the valuation of the Commissioners as t c cost ; and at w icd va'- uation the road is now put into tne new Com p inv. The State of Georgia, by a Legislative act, has giaired to the Coin] any the right and ] ow er to connect our road " ith the Western and Atlantic Radioed, at Dalton, or at any point we may select West ot that. If we connect at Dalton, the connecting link in Georgia will be about 15 mile- ; if West of the tunnel, it will be about 9 miles. W So large a portion of the road being already graded, and ready for the superstructure, cap - tal now vested will very soon yield a dividen !; hence an investment in it is much preferable to <nj in a new enterprise. Moreover, the track of the road is how well settled, and in good corn! tion for the superstructure, tiais rendering it less liable ? o get out of repair, and much less expensive in keeping-it tip. Thus you see. fellow-citizens, the main diffi culties under which the Hiwassee Railroad Company have labored are removed, an i the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Com pany takes’the place of'the old Company, un der more favorable auspices, and clear of its emi arrassmtllls. The new Company, under its new corporate name, through its Directory, * now appeals to you. With adequate means the road will very speedily approach the ccn- tre of East Tennessee. Till how, the d.flaeul m ties were not removed, and the appeal could A not, in good faith, be made. Now it comes in 7 good faith and in earnest. Will you listen ; will you reflect r We address ourselves to your judgment, your patriotism, yous interest. The question will not be asked, we presume, “ Will the construction of the E ist Tennes < e and Georgia llailroa I benefit East Tennessee:'' This is conceded by all. But the question may 1 be asked, “WiL it be productive will it pay?” This will be pertinent. We will, therefore, state a few facts and make a few suggestions, •which, in our estimation, will answer the ques tion in the affirmative. The construction of our road will unite the centre ot East Tennessee with the South, the natural market lor our products. Knoxvil e, and Greeneville, and Maryville, and Athens, and Cleveland, will be placed in jux’a-positlon xtith Augusta, and Savannah, and Charleston, and through them will have commercial in tercourse with the world. Who among you. fellow-citizens, can estimate the value, social ly and commercially, of suen an intimate union of interests. It woi Id be felt and acknowl edged in all departments of society, and in all branches of industrial interests. We will state a few facts, out ii many that rnight be given, to show that a Railroad ex tending into East Tennessee, and connected with Southern roads, will he productive. East Tennessee covers an area of 16,000 square miles, or over tea millions of acres, and con-’ ! Urns at this time, a population of not less than 350,000 and is capable, in every respect, of sustaining as dense a population as any section of country of the same extent. The trade of E ist Tennessee, includ ng exports and im ports, d.-es not, it is believed, fall short of fifteen millions of dollars. This estimate is i founded on data reasonably certain, an I is not i exaggerated. She is rich in mines of iron, lead, 7. iv, c )pper. co 1 and other mincra’s. and in qu lines of marble. Her water power abounds every where. Her soil is productive in all the I grains and root crops, which most cheaply sum am animal life anti su h as are most need c 1 in the Southern portion ofonr Union. With the increase of population and the stimulus that cheap and speedy transportation would H*get, product on might be increased to an almost unlimited extent. Ihe annual production of pork for market, in East ienucsseo, d >es not fall short ot 800.- 000 dollars. She can have an immense sur plus ofcorn. wheat, oats, Irish potatoes, hav, fruits, garden vegetables, poultry, butter, I cheese, eggs, &e. Lime, too, can be pioduc cd in immense quantities for market, and would sell readily at a profit t ) tno producer, and a saving to the consumer. The surplus of articles which will not now' ; bear the cost of transportation in wagons, would soon ho quadrupled, making a clear gain to the product r over his present income, for •such surplus articles are now wholly lost. S The iron business in East I ennessee, now large and of great importance is annually in cre .sing; and with the facilities and impulse j that would be given to this branch of produc tive industry, by the construnon of our Road, i i* s m ignitude and importance cannot now be even estimated. The construction of our Road would, at 1 once, enhance the value of our lands to an amount more than sufficient, if vested, to i ake the Road. Ihe history of Rulroad* proves, beyond dispute, that wh *r. Ter constructed they great ly increase theorcl nary business of the coun try earned on at the tiraj they goii to ope ration,an I that they create new business. More especially is this so when constructed along a m tine line of trade an 1 trave its ours will he. 1 he v stimuli tte and enc u age the agricultura list, and when he thrives all other branches of industry share in his prosperity. It i-. ascertained ceit duly, ‘ that Tlulroad stocks are more profitable than Bank stocks every where. They are more certain in their dividends—are safer, as the capital is attached to the soil—the capital cannot be burned can’t run away, nor can it be carried away in the pockets of a defaulter. Money ves ed in a Railroad is as safe as money vested in mortgages on real c.-t .tc—is as profitable, with much less trouble and ex- | pease attending thereto. As these facts, with many others that might be named, satisfy the Committee beyond d mbt, t ut our R »ad, if complete, would be of im mense benefit to East Tennessee, us well, as to our Southern neighbors, they as fully and conclusively satisfy the <■ ommittee that the Road will be productive—that it will pay. It may be asked, and indeed is asked fre quently, can hi ist Tennessee alone make her j improve non s? —is she able? We answer,; without hesitation, she can—she is able. The w Ting mind to the work is all that is needed to insure success. And to prove conclusively tout she has the ability, it is only necessary to remark, that one half of the funds alrea ly ex pended on our Hoad, were paid by less than 1-50 paying Stockholders. We d > not ask, nor do we think it the pro per policy, f>>r single individ .als to vest large sums in stork. We woul I prefer, and we deem it th • true policy, for the interests of the community, that every citizen should beco e inturi >te lin tno st ick ot the company ; and th r it shoui 1 be pare 11 d out and distributed in small amount'. In this wav the burden w mid he light, and n u oppressively felt by any. There juisite amount of funds cou,!d lie paid in more easily .and sooner, an 1 the eoun t y could sooner enjoy the great bon fits to be derived from the investment B inks arc u »\v opene I for the subscription of --to: k in the Eot To nu s-ee an 1 Georg a Rulroid Com; any; and w th the view of en denvoiing to have the stock distribute-1 accord ing t<> the suggestions of policy before stated, tiie D.rectory have appointed Agents in the different counties to receive subscriptions of >t >ek. -V li-t of A tents is appended, to w hit h others will be added a- may seem ueecssarv. L'he Agents are respectfully, but urg mtly re queue I to commence o icrations immediate'v. To the ap-nts appoiated, tie Dira-t.rv, through the Commit ec, would s y: Friends gce us your ai.L Try to obtain subscriptions from your fellow-citizens. Let us unitedly make the effort, and persevere i;i it. It love o.' country w.B not urg ; to act on, let us urge the desirn dencss ot improveme it of personal and social cone, tion ; and, big ;er. and above all. with some, love of cent per c nt . Nothing but an effort, a strong, a long, a unite I cffoit. will effect our ohje t. Let us make that effort, and the Uommitti'C will not permit th mm selves to doubt a favorable result. We will not in dulge in misgivings. We prefer to indulge | the anticipation of your favorable response; and therefore we appeal to our fellow-citizens, boldly, urgently, though respectfully. The Directory hope to obtain awl from our "Sonthi rn friends, and the effort is now ina kT.g. If su;;c ss ul, w kno \it will stimu late us all to rem wed and increased energy.— It uusuccesstul, let us not despond. IF- can accomplish the toor/c ourselves; and self-reliance is true dignity. Let us, if need lie, show to the world, that we are as ready and willing to put our-shoulders to the wheel, ami help our selves, as we have been to volunteer to fight the battles of our country. We outfit not to oimt mentioning that the Charter of the Company is one of the most favorable ever granted to a corporation. Its capital stock is forever free from taxation, and all the property of the Company is free from taxation for the term of twenty years from the completion of the toad. It is now submitted to you, fellow-citizens, ' whether this work shall be abandoned, and the amount already expended 1 c mine a total loss to the State and individual Stockholders ; and, more, whether East Tennessee shall remain in her present pent up condition, shut out from a profitable competition in the open markets of the world. Will you slumber over y >ur interests, and suffer the rich boon within your grasp to pass to others, less deserving, per haps, but more watchful of their interests? | Be not mistaken, or unmoved. E i>t Tennessee cannot enjoy full pros; e ity without the improvement for wh c i we plead. I She will never have fulfilled her duty, nor reached her true position and destiny, until she opens up to herself a highway to the ; world, ihe highway we point out to you. And we ho P e now, fell >w citizens, wo have fulfilled apart if our mission in this cau>e, when we have thus, in this hasty Address, held up to your gaze, and within your reach, the • magic wand, the appropriation of which to yourselves would injure your prosperity. Fellow-"itizens, it is fur you to decide. Our n ipeal is with you. We will n t permit our selves to doubt as to what will he the result of your calm and deliberate consideration of this subject. You will say the work must not, shall not, be abandoned. An enlightened pol icy forbids it—the honor and the best interests of our common country lorbid it—and we know that your best interest* and ours forbid it. We therefore look to you in confidence. If you «>ct pro rptly and vigorously in aid of this work, you will enjoy self-gratulution for haring dons right; and you will be entitled to. wmith l JiJuiMiaua and will receive the lasting gratitude of y u; IQ-teritv. avm.

Miss Clara Ellis, having no relative to contradict such unfounded rumors, lias only to suffer from unjust censure, or thus publicly offer an cxplana t o I. In Mr. Ward’s engagement with Miss E. it was expressly stipulated that hisname was in be put np for a Benefit on the third night of her man agement—Saturday. May 4th. This, when the time came,Mr. Ward objected to do, and,for his own purposes, held it in reserve till Miss E.’s term of management had expired, lie then indirectly proposed to ‘‘enter into some arrangement” for Miss E. to play on fiat night, and after h • opened the Theatre—which Miss E. declined. She had kept her treaty with him strictly to the letti r, and when lie bmhe his. of course all confidence had vanished. When it is taken into consideration that Miss E. paid Messrs. Ward and .Mrs. Ward fir, vkry kar, more than <■ ne-third th° gross receipts of her f nir nights m inageinent, and had not her self cleared one dollar for her services, it cannot bo alleged they had any cause to complain.

IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED. ,4 3IONG lhe many discoveries which are add- IjL ing to the hic-ssings of the present genera tion. the undersigned confidently assures the pub lic tliat he has discovered a remedy for that dread ful disease called Cancer, hitherto deemed meura- ! ble. The origin of the remedy was in bis own case, which almost against hope he succeeded in curing after many'trials of od.er remedies without success. He has been using the same remedy now f< r si.r urn s, and in all cases successfully, wl on ap plication was made in time. He considers it in udicious, pernaps improper, to boast of his treat ment. or to make promises beyond any possilile performance, for the>e are cases c o far gone as to he incurable; but ho invites the afHicted to consult Mr. L C. Service, and if be shall satisfy them of his ability to make cures, they can then try his remedy. Mr. Service is in possession of all the knowledge I have as regards this remedy. I have di-posed of rav recipe to him. BURNHAM SHEPARD. The undersigned ran be so nd at all times at the Drug Store of Wm.
