Gorms' remains were iuterred in an adjoining field, and his team cared for until his faiuilv could be advised of his fate. HIE HEWS. The weather throughout England the past few days has been fair.

The connection of Hopefield with Belmont Iron Mountain and St Louis with Memphis by rail, will result in advantages to this city almost incalculable.

The very means used in securing the interv ention of foreign capitalists ensures the greatest possible good results. These railway builders become landed proprietors and are thus forced to induce immigration They not only connect us with St Louis, but practically become cultivators of every possible acre between thl city and Belmont. As the road is a levee to protect the country against overflows, so it must burden every tillable acre with blooming cot ton and ripening wheat and corn. It happens that the richest area of cotton growing land in the valley of the Mississippi, where the boll worm was never known, and the cotton crop never failed, lies along the line of this road. Heretofore it has been subjected to disastrous floods.

The surcharged Mississippi has emptied its superabundant waters over the richest lands and into lakes and bayous con necting, in flood time, the Mississippi and St. Francis rivers. Large por tious of Crittenden, and of counties north of Crittenden, are annually sub-mere-ed. From this fact resulted the necessity for the elevation of the trackway of the Memphis and Little Rock Road between this city and the St. Francis river, a distance of forty miles.

The construction of Col. Porter's Road not only redeems a coun-t-y capable of building and enriching a more populous city tnan juempnis, but makes the Little Rock Road worthy oi being part and parcel of the great highway to the Pa cific. Not onlv is the city of St. Louis made accessible, but the Mobile and Ohio Road, which has done this city infinite detriment, is, to a great extent, shorn of capacity for evil. Since the Mississippi Valley Road will give direct and the shortest route to Chicago and Eastern cities, crossing the bridge at Paducah, so the Belmont and Hopefield line will give Memphis direct connection with St.

Louis. Goods and travelers from that city will come hither, whence railways diverge in all directions, rather than to Columbus, for distribution. These two parallel roads, on opposite shores of the Mississippi, are both indispensible, as they both assure the commercial greatness of Memphis. The one developes and controls absolutely the wealth of the western and the other of the eastern shore of the great river. Col.

Porter's Belmont Road prevents the traffic and travel between St. Louis and the South confining itself to the Mobile and Ohio Road, while the Mississippi River Railway draws through Memphis the trade and travel between New Orleans and Eastern cities. The importance of the Belmont and Hopefield Railway, to which Col. Porter has devoted many years of unremitting toil, has hardly been appreciated. If it accomplished no more than the redemption of adjacent counties just across the Mississippi, it would have achieved enough to be deemed invaluable.

If its builders, owners ol millions of acres of land along the route, can only realize enormous profits by causing the country to be densely populated, we may rest assured that money and labor will be lavishly expended in achieving the end most desired by this city. In truth no one can survey the whole field of Memphis railway operations without reaching the conclusion that the system is almost rer-fect, and when in operation it will become a splendid imperial metropolis, worthy of its name, borne by the chiefest city of another land of exhaustless wealth. The success which has attended Oen. Forrest's railway operations in Alabama and Mississippi has failed to excite proper attention in this city. The ieople of Alabama have almost forgotten that the original purpose of the builders of the road from Selma was to secure connection with the Mississippi river at Memphis, and with the system of Northern and Western roads converging at this point.

In Eastern Mississippi, at Columbus and elsewhere, it is said that the road will never pain beyond that beautiful inland city. In fact, Monroe county, just north of Columbus, refused to become a stockholder in tne Memphis and Selma Railroad Company. It may happen that Memphis will be compelled, unaided by the city of Aberdeen and the rich county of Monroe, to build the road, not only to Holly Springs, but lend it assistance through its whole length to Columbus, Mi. Cost what it may, this road must he extended from this city to Colun-ibus. The Mobile and Ohio road must have a rival line.

It has, cost fcs much to hip a bale of goods om this place to Columbus, by way of Corinth, as from New York to Columbus by way of Mob ile. Freight tariflfe are so adjusted hat tradesmen and farmers below Corinth are compelled to buy in St. xjuis, Chicago, Louisville or Mobile. The rates of freight are defined wholly in the interest of Mobile. We do not believe that President Murdock and the managers of the road are impelled by enmity to Memphis, but simply design to enrich Mobile.

Mobile was almost bankrupted by the construc tion of thir magnificent highway, and deserves all that it can be made to pay. Meanwhile it becomes the policy of Memphis to assert her power and commercial rights. Tne road to Columbus would instantly bring the Mobile road to terms, and the excellence of Memphis as a cotton market, and the cheapness and facility of rail way cotton transportation from this place to New York would cause the whole cotton crop of Eastern Missis sippi to be sold in this market. With the cotton, the farmers and merchants of Eastern Mississippi would come hither, and this single road, of itself a profitable investment, would double the trade of this city Not only would it render the Mobile and Ohio Road impotent for evil, but make it an agency of good. We would reap boundless wealth from the productive regions which it has popu la ted and enriched.

When we reflect that besides this, the Mississippi Cen tral Road would be tapped at Holly Springs, and the wealth of the rich county of Marshall appropriated by Memphis merchants our indifference to Gen. Forest's movements becomes almost criminal. When shall Memphis and Holly Springs be united bv a direct road The Chamber of Commerce should ventilate this all important subject. ARKANSAS AND MEMPHIS. Some time ago it was announced that Col.

D. C. Cross had transferred to an Eastern association of capitalists three or four million acres of Arkansas land, with county and individual sub scriptions amounting perhaps to one million dollars, on condition that a railroad should be built at once connecting St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Helena. Of late we have heard nothing of this scheme, and only hope that the hitrh contracting parties" will consummate their plans and make a wide district of Arkansas bloom like an oriental garden.

This proposed road crosses the Memphis and Little Rock line near Madison, forty miles west of this city, and however valuable the advantages which Helena may derive from the contemplated highway, those which Memphis will gain are unquestionably great. Col. Cross' road will be a branch of the Memphis and Little Rock line, and if this were prevented, and Helena made a prosperous city, Memphis would be the more enriched by the proximity and trade of stich an Arkan-saian metropolis. We would do nothing that may militate against the prosperity of a neighboring city in a neighboring State. In fact Memphis is as thoroughly a part of Arkansas and of Mississippi in its population, in trade and in every interest and sympathy, as it is geographically part and parcel of Tennessee.

A broad, deep river alone separates us from Arkansas, and a narrow strip of territory twelve miles in width, intervenes between this city and Mississippi. Our political, commercial and industrial fortnnes and habits of thought and action are indentieal, and any effort made to excite local prejudices would be as criminal as unavailing. Therefore we have felt a deep jnterest in the succes of Col. CRflta, whose plans were wisely conceived as his mode ol execution assured their speedy and successful consummation. The construction of this road will add vastly to the population of Arkansas, and countless cotton bales to the commercial resources of Memj lii-The country penetrated is a terra incognita.

Travelers have said that it was rich, healthful and capable of supporting a population denser than that of Connecticut. With this road in operation, and that of Col. Porter from Belmont to Hopefield, with the Memphis and Little Rock and the Cairo and Fulton Roads in operation, and in the near future a highway to Kansas City, the Northern half of Arkansas will become at once the seat of a magnificent civilization, and the most attractive portion of the Valley of the Mississippi From these reflections and facts how natural the deduction that Memphis must become the first city of the South. The treasures of an empire are almost within our grasp. 1ENNESSEE ELECTION.

The following from the New York Tribune shows pretty well how the result in Tennessee is viewed by the more liberal Republicans of the North. The Tribune says: The Senter Republicans of Tennessee are not so jolly as they had hoped to be. Their Conservative allies proved not only more ruinous but more exacting than they had anticipated. Though there was no outright bargain, it was clearly understood by those Republicans that Enfranchise ment was all that the "Conserva tives were to ask or claim at this election that, this being secured, they would vote not only for Senter but for especial friends for the Legislature. At the last moment, however, Conservative candidates for the Legislature were nominated or voted for without having been openly nominated and most of them easily elected over the divided and conflicting Re- Eublicans.

The Senter Republicans ae therefore carried Senter; the Conservatives" have clutched noarlv everything else. And there is, some hard feeling on the subject. Oen. Grant had 56,757 votes in the State last fall and these would have been about equally divided on Gov ernor; Dut tne later aeveiopments ot "Conservative" avidity probably changed some thousands of these from Senter to Stokes, who thus received some 30.000 to 40,000 votes. Senter's vote will probaDlyreaeh HXUM), made np nearly as follows: Republicans 20,000 Seymour votes last year 25.U00 Newly enfranchised .55,000 The "Conservatives" have won a triumph too sweeping to be secure.

Already some of the old rebel oracles begin to talk of a White Man's Government," and an open alliance on that platform with the Northern Democracy. They will doubtless so manage as to unite and invigorate the Republicans at an early day; but this they think they can afford. By our estimate they are 80,000 strong; while the Republicans are but 60,000. The former are not likely to ignore this disparity. "There you see the eflect of rebel enfranchisement says a Stokes man Certainly.

It would doubtless have been wiser in the Republicans to en franchise the rebels by a generous act of amnesty than to let them enfranchise themselves, as, by Senter's help, they have just done. There is always a right way to do whatever needs do ing ana "sing nnomer way, ur noting it be taken, involves trouble. But the champions of wholesale, indefinite proscription persistently shut their eyes to controlling facte. They talk as though a yramid would stand on its apex forever; but it won't. Had Seymour been elected last fidl, the Conservatives would have enfranchised tnemseives Dy me shortest way, law or no law.

There id Drobablv nave been collision, and a season ol anarchy possibly of blooasnea out tney woutu nawuwu voters in the end. They have now attained that end in a better way, thoue-h not the best. The last Legis lature should have enfranchised at least the better half of them. We horje soon to hear that the Re publicans of the South have every a hprp dUcnrdod the nohev of pro- seribiner or disfranchising the late rebels. True, they may be beaten by the votes now nullified bvthis policy; but triumphs won by confining the suffrage practically to one party are fragile and illusory, as Andrew Johnson found, when he mad? Tennessee vote for Lincoln and himself in '64 as Col.

Stokes has just discovered The onlv safe and solid ground to stand on is that of All Rights for All The Tribune is quite rigM in saying "there was no outright bargain" when there was no bargain at all. It was clearly enough understood that enfranchisement would be secured in this election, in the event of the elec tion of Senter. That was the great and chief end to be obtained. But there was no understanding, tacit or otherwise, that Republicans should elected to the Legislature, to the ex elusion of Conservatives. This must sufficiently appear from the fact that with such an understanding, the bar gain would be all on one side.

It would be you vote for Republican Sexter and for Republican Legisla tors, and we will vote for Republican Stokes and Republican Legislators There would be no quid pro quo. Who would be green enough to believe that? Was it to bo supposed the Conservatives and Democrats would "bargain" to vote lor a full set of Radical candidates, out and out, and get nothing? It is fortunate for us that such an absurdity is so patent on its face that bad faith cannot be reas onably charged, and that the luster of victory cannot be dimmed by any suspicion of unconscionable practices That victory was fairly won on the part of the Conservatives, not by frauds on their part, but in spite of them. The white man's flag of white enfranchisement floats proudly and unstained on the breeze of heaven The necessity for such a flag was an outrage on the rights of the people which the people have wiped out That is what the election means, and no more that the people of Ten nessee have taken into their own hands their ancient right to govern the State, which had been illegally wrested from them What next? Anarchy, injustice, re- hellion. Woodshed? No not one of khese things, but order, justice to all obedience to law and peace, that is what thejpeople mean by their verdict and it is what they mean, and have right to have. They propose, as the people of one of the States of the Union to govern the State, under the Constitution of the United States precisely as New York, Ohio or Massachusetts would do; ytejding no rights and usurping no powers, exercising such as pertain, indisputably under the American system, to a free people.

And thii they will do with such dignity, moderation and magnanimity as will brand the infamous charge of a disposition to persecute indwlihly on the foreheads of those, who, for party purposes, have been weak and brazen enough to utter it. Such restrictions or changes will be made in the franchise as the good of the State may require, whether it result in more restricted suffrage, or in universal suffrage, diluted with African and woman's rights." Officers and salaries may be abolished and changed, and some who have rioted for four years at the expense of the tax-ridden people may be displaced. But none who are not entitled to hold office forever, and to have salaries and perquisites they cannot earn, will have any reason to complain, when, by rotation in office they will have, according to their merits, every privilege which pertain to others of their fellow-citizens. The slander that Northern men will be socially ostracised or otherwise ill-treated is and will be especially put down. No respectable Northern man here will affirm any such thing.

That is exclusively the work of unprincipled partisan correspondents. We congratulate our fellow-citizens and the country that we now have it in our power, by discreet and magnanimous acts, to disarm every slander against us, which at last is nothing but words, words, words, infamous words. Such will be the "effect of rebel enfranchisement "fair justice, statesmanlike legislation, and a new career of public and private prosperity. That is the glory enough for one day which the election of the 5th instant has secured to us. It was the work of the people rather than the politiciansreaction against proscription, abuse and outrage.

And it is a result which there is no power to reverse. In an address before the Board of Directors of the Mississippi Valley Navigation Company, delivered on the occasion of his acceptance of the Presidency of the Institution, Judge Swayne says that, having once doubted the practicability of the company's enterprise, he had given it careful examination, and had now become not only satisfied, but more "even convinced that the project is meritorious, and if accomplished, must eventuate in the great advancement of all the commercial and material interests of the Mississippi valley:" He alludes to the originator of the enterprise as deserving for his private character the highest appreciation and "for his genius to rank with Ramsey and Fulton," whether his project should prove too far in advance of the age to succeed or not. He affirms, what those acquainted with him will believe, that he would not give countenance to the new project of Capt. DeHaven without be- ing first fairly convinced that It was meritorious, and not a means by which individuals or the public might be injured." Now that new organization is complete, we believe steps are at once to bo taken to procure subscriptions to stock. If the project should prove a complete success, as we think it likely to do, the stock will be very valuable.

If on the other hand, it should prove a failure as to the revolution in building boats generally it canuot fail to be as good as other steamboat stock, which seems to be good enough to induce capital ists to invest in that business. Ax important meeting, when its ob ject Is considered, was held yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce to ap point delegates to a meeting at Spring field, called for the purpose of in flating and furthering the great rail road enterprise by which it is proposed to connect Kansas with Mem phis. No more important matter to the Interests of this city has been broached before the Memphis public. Delegates were appointed to go to Springfield, and resolutions adopted which appear in another column. Roll on the great railroad enterprises to completion.

And while we are nrenaring to stretch our arms to the northwest, let us remember also that link which is now out connecting us with Selma and the Atlantic ocean, The railroad system of Memphis is bv no mean-, perfect. have great trunk line leading towards each cardinal point of the compass. Meni Dhis is not, however, on any line con necting the great cities of the North and South. This end will be attained bv the construction of the Mississippi River nisid. to be extended irom ra- ducah to Chicago.

It was stated day or two ago in our telegraphic col umn, that Messrs. Tate, est, dig ger and others had made a contract for the construction of a railway from Chicago to Paducah. If this be built the Ohio will soon be bridged at Paducah, and a road from Vincennes will connect Paducah with all great Eastern lines, padncsh thus becomes a most important railway center, and the Mississippi River Railway as v-Qbiflhle an that terminates at Memphis.
