It Is no less than the building of a spiral railway around and to tlx) top of the treat Iron ore mountain, It starts from tho level of the Cornwall Railroad, and revolves . around the - mountain, at some places over trestle work, at others over high embank ments. and again at others through ponder ous cuts in tlio solid iron ore, until it reaches tho rery top of the mountain. A great part of tho way is completed, -a greater part is ready for the sills, while the rest is progress iug actively. A powerful Locomotive has lieen obtained to do tho work of moving j tho trains, and is already at Cornwall.. Tho , spiral road proper, when completed, will be over two miles in length, and a work' tho equal of which cannot be found probably in tho world, ft The great improvements now going on at .Cornwall, are under the superintendence of A.

It is frequently alleged that the issue of National bank notes has .inflated the currency of tho country. This is not so. . Their issue has caused State bank notes to. bo relieved to such an extent that on the lsc of October, 1805, the total Lank-note currency of the-country, State und National, was several miilons less than tho amount of. State bank notes iu- circula tion on tho 1st of January, 1883. from the time of national currency in 1803, (lie circu-' hition of State bank notes has been constant ly diminishing as national bank notes have been issued. ,. . .. i TJie Iate Kail way .Accident JVear i ,. .

Dickinson does? et them1 ronkl wWkt ha o ioiUfntW saysi I am no stranger to President Johnson, nor a new convert to his policy nnd mea sures. Ho was a member of the House o( Representatives when I had tho honor of a seat ln the Senate, and fbr tbo even years t wag there I kner him well awl watched his course carefully then nnd since, for there were passages in our history not dissimilar. Resides, we agreed upon public questions, according ,W the i4d Jncksoninn creed finance, tariff, internal 'improvements, gene ral economy of ndministrntion, non-intervention in. tlio domestic concerns of States, gov ernment of Territories, &c, I always regard ed him as one of the most iruo and thorough DvKcrnts I ever knew. He seemed to have inherited the spirit, of Jackson.-., Ho had studied the theories of free government 'un der our Constitution, nnd of man's equality, until no had mastered the subjects complete-, iy, and iw Mewed everything political from no great commanding, stand point. This gave turn the vantage grnunu over uis Southwestern competitors ot more aspiring ambition, and enabled him to comprehend tho character of the rebellion with tho ra- tiiditv of intuition, and noblo indeed did he bear himself, from the earliest exhibition of its deformity. His tluties are now more dillicult and delicate tnan tuoso oi any Chief Magistrate who haft preceded him, and he is entitled to the generous, sincere, and cordial support of every true friend of l:is counttyi It costs comparatively very little but lip service, since .tlie tall oi oi ine rejei- lion, when there arq really no great issues in earnest contest before the country, and when President 'Johnson is holding the highest and most dignified station on earth, with unbounded patronago at uis command, to nprovc his policy. Thoso who resisted most in the rebellion are loudest now in de claring their approbation, aud in asserting exclusive fidelity.- For one, I not only ap prove it now, but I approved it wbon ho branded traitors and conspirators with their appropriate designation, as they were rear ing tho bloody standard of revolt at our nation's capital. I approved it when, as Provisional Governor of Tennessee, by his energetic measures he defied and scourged rebel traitors, and sent treoson to its hiding place when ho imprisoned its leaders and suppressed its malign papers. ' I approved it when by his clarion voice he encouraged our brave armies, urged on the war, which a national convention, bearing I regret to say, tho Democratic name a name he ad mired and honored was pronouncing it a failure. I approved it when ho stood firm w hile rebel hell-hounds sought his life, mur dered his family friends, and lighted up the darkness of midnight with tho flames of tlieir dwellings. 1 approved it when he forsook party for country, and rose above the clamors of his section to the generous nnd proud dignity ot a great statesman, in abashing treason in all its forms, at home and abroad, proclaiming universal freedom throughout Tennessee, and cheering on loy alty to the accomplishment of its good work. I npprved uis summary and speedy trial and execution of conspirators and as sassins, of his unconditional flat against slavery, and of his determination to tear up its last foundation stones. Ut uis recent tern perate and sensible address of advice and , encouragement to tlio returned colored rcgi ment when rebellion bad laid nown its arms of his liberal treatment of the erring but repentant South, so that all who will can meet again as equals, all assemble like children of a common father around the samo house-hearth of the Union. , , turriuiTk CALAMITY, v Holler Kiplokion on the' Steamer St.Joltn. ; From the N. Y. Tribune, SOlh u!t ' It again becomes the duty of tho reporter, to dip the pen in blood, nnd give a ghastly record of disaster. Shortly after 6 o'clock on Sunday nioning. omi of the boilers of the splendid Albany packet St. John exploded, rt hen just below Bull's Perry, on her trip down the HudsdO, flooding the cabin floor with scalding water, instantly killing six persons,- mortally ' wounding auullier, nod bddly scalding and mutilating many more. ' Shortly after the accident, 250 of the pas sengers werataken off. the St. John bv the -forrjsbbet Morristown. 'The steamor.. managed to reach her pier, at the font oft;Deabfts8ea-at., a few hours Inter, by the '.use of one boiler. Here she Wi iwWAdiftteJy boarded by the police, and a cumber of physicians,' who .proceeded to dress the wounds of the sufferers, and pre pare for burial those who were happily past all suffering. ' , . , . -i.. TllHILLINa ACCOUXT BY AS EYE-WITNESS. A gentleman who was on board tho boat at the time of the explosion gives the fol lowing thrilling account: .. , I think the accident occurred a few min utes before 0 in the morning. At least I remember that it was just 20 minutes before 0 when I arose from my berth to dress my self, as I thought we must .be. nearing the city, and I wanted to be on shore as aoon ns possible. .My stateroom was situated in the forward part of tho cabin, on the port side. 1 looked out of tho window and saw that the western sky was just brightening with the reflection of daylight from the east, and then, opening the door, stepped but into the saloon, which wag dimly lit,, only one or two burners of the main chandelier , being lighted. , I had hardly reached tho center of tlio sa loon, on my way out to the open air, before I heard a strange roport which thrilled me with unaccountable apprehension. It was not d loud as it was deep and terrible. 1 once heard some cun-qojtcn explode in a close apartment, and the present report resembled that nearer than anything I can compare it to. It was i in mediately followed, by a terri ble Bliock, whiclnshook )every plaok in the steamer; and before I could make up my mind what it meant, I saw the aide of the saloon, a short distance in front of the wheel-house, smashed in as if by a cannon shot, with a terrible crnshing sound, , ac pomponied by one wild yell which rings in my cars at this moment with terriblo dis tinctness, -. i, A great cjoud of steam ' rushed , through the aperture, speedily filling the entire sa loon; but first I saw a sbapclea rouse flying across the cabin. This proved to be a corpse of a child, who had been sleeping iu atate room No. 123, 1 think, although I am not certain. J Jh.eard the engines stop, , A treat light illumiuated the saloon through the drifting stoann I gavo myself up for lost, and for a moment could not stir, The steam was almost immediately followed by the vast bodies of hot water, which, seemed to burst into the saloon iu a perfect deluge. It covered the floor so rapidly that I had just time enough to apring uU gain a hold on tlie main chandeliur .V-t'ore it was acetlt-. ing under nij.feet. .,,',,: , it :.; . ., In a fer seconds I was aecuroly perqhed above the vfater, but I witnessed a scene of destruction and horror .which will abide with me to roy dying day.,. TUo water , did not spout nor gush into the saloon it abso lutely poured u. Had it not hadtha appear ance of being boiling hot I should have thought that w were sinking, and that; the brod river itself was engulfiug in,,.,,,,,;, Thto there, occurred terrible acene atBong the passengers, most of whom were asleep la their berths at lU Uiu ut' the vtv i ... .('. plosion. ' The Impulse which nearly all of them obeyed, upon being rudely awakened and terrified by the shock, was to apring to tha floor, and their screams and yells as their feet went ankle-deep into tho scalding flood are litterally indetcribablo. Few of thcnrltad presence of mind enough to climb again iato tlieir liunks.' ibut in a fow-moments, tn- rathcr.vSccondV, itho! snlodn was ptO.IM with terror -arrrcken Rnd agonized forms, mostly in tlieir nigni-ciomcs, spiusu ing wildly about in the boiling water. One man, in his agony, tried to pull me from my perch; but, by repented directions, I iit length induced' him id get Upon aohnir. I saw a mother, with n' littlo cWd on either arm, dashing frantically through tho water, nnd every time she would lift up her naked feet I could seo that they were boiled .to a crimson hue. Reaching dowrj, I .lifted one of the children to my side: but alio let the other one full into tho wntcr. scalding it se verely, but not fatally, I thmk, before I could also possess myself of it. I then seiz ed her. by tho hair, and assisted her to a posit Urn to a chair, where she managed to stand until the water had subsided.-, v . . I might relate numerous other instances, but, in all conscience, tho above are horri-' ble enough. . Tho water subsided Very rapid lyit having all run out in a very few min utes after its firet appearance. . But the groans and shrieks of tha scalded and muti lated was the most dreadful experience of my life. : In about fifteen minutes after the explosion the ferry-boat Morristown camo alongside and took off about 850 of the pas sengers. ' I :. ; .'.'.' aiAMI' FERUiriiOX..,, THE CONFESSION HE MADE BEFORE HIS EXECUTION. A. I.ona; 1 .1st f Crimrs as Perpc trntetl by Him. ' Tt dav before the execution, Champ Ferguson made a confession to the the local editor of the Nashville Dispatc h, which he requested might not be published until al ter his death. It is quite lengthy, and Champ said that tho statements comprised all the killing in which he figured. We subjoin some portions of this document : THE KILLISO OF n0G. The case of Frogg is another in which I am falsely placed. The Circumstances are well'known to many in that ncighborhrwd. lie was with the Home Guard9, and insti gated my arrest while I was peaceably pur suing my avocation as a farmer. Not satis fied with this he laid in wait on the high ways to kill me. He even went so far as to make his threats to the neighbors that he intended to' kill me. On the day that I passed down the road leading to Frogg's house, Mrs. Pleasant Beatty called to me, and warned me that Frogg was watching tor an opportunity to kill me. 1 Had ocen cautioned by a number of persons. There were two men with me at tho time Mrs, Beaty spoke to us, and I told the boya that I would settle the matter by going direct to Frogg's house and killing him. His wife was at the door peeling apples. I dis mounted and went in. He was lying in bed, ft.nd on seeing me,' pulled the cover over ids face. I then shot him twice. His wife ran - away, and as I passed out I met Miss Russel, who lives near there. She ask ed me what was the matter I told her that Frogg was killed, and that she had better go in and look after him. No words what ever were passed between Frogg and myself. I consider myself justified in killing lnm. THE SALTSVH.LB MASSACRE, as it lias been termed, was no work of mine. I was not in the fight, and did not kill any negroes as charged. I acknowledge, how ever, that I killed Lieut. Smith in Emory and Henry hospital. I had - a motive in committing the act. He captured a num ber of my men at different times, and al ways killed tho last one of them. I was instigated to kill him, but I will not say by whom, as I do not wish to criminate my friends. Smith belonged to the 13th Ken tucky, and operated around Burkesvillc. I will say this much he neVfr insulted my wife or daughter a'a reported. He was a rolatlte'bf my first wife, and always treated my family with respect. He is the only man I killed at or near Saltsville, and am not sorry for killing him. ' - FOUNT ZACITERT.

Some time since we announced tho result of tho trial, the finding and sentence of the court, and the action of the authorities ; and on tho following day the result was com municated by Col. Shaftcr to' the prisoner, in lite cell the otucini nnding ana sentence being read tn Wm. When the officer enter ed for that purpose, Chump was as firm and as relentless as when, in the midst of his mad career, he 'murdered alike the wounded, the sick, the aged, and the helpless child ; and when the last sentence had been read, he barely remarked: ' "As I expected, sir." ' .'-' n ' From that time, he was urged to prepare fot death; but for days he remained the tame firm, unflinching man ho had been through out the trial. ' He would talk of death as if it were a rather disagreeable matter, but a thins of no trteat moment; and as for futurity that scarcely entered his mind, or, if it did, his proud spirit would not admit of its presence. . ' .' Till within tne last tour days ot ins exist ence he was as profane as when heading his band of outlaws, and uttering impreca tions against all who remained true to the Union against even bis own brothers, one of whom died in support ot tne Mars aud Stripes, beneath which he had been reared, and which neither promise nor threats could induce him to - desert. Ho appeared as braced egainBt every feeling of humanity ns when, with hif own hand, he murdered the vencrnblo old man who had cradled him on his knee, and to whom he was indebted for a thousand favors. WHAT I'E THOUGHT OK DYING. "Have you any horror of the method of your deathT Would you prefer to be stiotl ' we inquired.' ... "No, I hare no particular objection to hanging," sd bo ; "it is no worse than shooting: itis only death, after all ; of course all of us hate to die, or be killed. It makes no difference to me, as to how I am killed." Ho then rtnted that he knew that he must die ; and alihough he liad not ' then heard the result ol his application for pardon, he had no ides that thero was the remotest hope ; but he would die without a shndder ; he had resdved upon it, and he claimed that he had sufficient self-control to meet bis end witiout giving way. ' This was on Thursday n'ght, and at that time, we must eay thnt ho did preserve as much enunuuni- tv as he ever possess! d.

' - INTERVIEW WITH, niS FAMrLW 1 " It was haf past ten o'clock yesterday when the parting with his family; and sel dom have we witnessed a scene more heart rending. Mrs. F. clung to her husband and wept aloud ; "My God 1 my God 1" said she, "have I not already suffered enough? ' Is my agony never to cease!" and her .tears choked her utterance, and she remained long, clasping her husband, who stood like a marble statue, showing nn outward signs -r motion.

He served himself up to the occasion ; not a shuddei marred the tranquility of his frame; not a change pass ed over his countenance, . , . Uis hands were pinioned behind him with a strong cord. Ilia dress was a black suit, of coarse cloth, but ueat aud clean; aud on his hands were black gloves. When he reached the scaffold, Colonel Shaftcr inquired : "Shall I help you to ascend?" .

And here is a nntublu fact: 1 he crop of 1800 was about Five Million bnlcs of 400 pounds each, worth to the growers (had no civil war intervened) $50 per bale, or Two Hundred nnd Fitty Millions ot dollars, jnow the Two Millions on hand last May, the Ono Million grown this - year, and the Two Millions which may be grown next year, have sold or will sell at tho nenrest railroad station or steamboat landing for an average of not less than 82J cents (gold standard) per pound, or f I.IO per bale that is, tor an aggregate of Six Hundred and Fifty Millions of Dollars. :tIn other word, the planters will receive' in tho average ns much for a Crop of Two Millions of bales ns they did for one of Five Millions. - Cotton-plnnting iu this country to-day the best business on earth far better than Goldmining in any State nr Territory. Good plantations in nbundance Can now be bought for $10 (nrcenback) ' per acre $10,- hiilf is ready for the plow. Let us suppose an individual, firm or compnny, to buy 8112I1 a one. suendinir. t3.000 for Stock and Im plements, and using $15,000 nmre ns work ing cupnai, lining np n more wiiii mien nu visions, wared nnd fabrics ns their laborers will buy, and paying every laborer two thirds of his wages in money or goods each Snturdav nicht: tho remainder in cash when the crop is marketed. Let us suppose fifty men hired at an average of 23 per month each living rent free 111 tho cottages on the plnotntion but boarding himself, and that by their labor, well directed, 5000 bales of Cotton nro grown on so many across, be side Corn, Pork nnd Vegetables. Allowing the Cotton to be worth 82J cents (gold) per pound, the year's business would sum up nearly taus:. 1. Cr. By Cotton made and sohl, . 500 bales at 32 'c. per lb $03,000 uy rood grown lor next year, say , 3,000 $118,000 $10,000 6.000 13,000 Total Dr. . By first cost of tilantntion By outfit of Stock, Tools, By Wages of Labor By Superintendence, Taxes, &c, &c, say . .' , 10,000 Total $10,000 Net profit: the plantation, stocks, Arc, nnd $28,000 do not think this an overstatement. We For, if planters could thrive on growing Cotton at 10 cents per pound, paying $1, 000 per head for their laborers, they surely can grow rapidly rich on growing just such Cotton with free labor nt II2J cent per pound. " As to the alleged deficiency of Labor, we regard it as off the samo piece with the pre tense thnt White men could not work in the Cotton-fields of the South; when Free White laboi was at that moment growing an ex cellent stnplo alike in Northern Alabama and in Southern Texas. The cry has changed now it is "Niggers won't work" which is lis groundless as that which it has supplanted. Open a store in any part of tho South, and say. "Here are Bacon, Flour, Corn Meat, Sugar, Ten, Sheet ings, t.'RlIeoeB, GinKhsms, Flannels, Satinets, &c., to be dealt out at cash prices fur Lahor; and they who don't wish or choose tn spend their wages as they earn them shall have tho full balance due them in cash so soon as the crop is made" aud you .will soon have laborers in abundance and more offering. ' Ccrruiiilyj we do not indorse tht assertion that "Niggers won't , work;" but they who put faith in it may do so in welcome.- Sup ply shelter and food; pay good -wages so last as earned; and you can have all the la borers yon want, and suit yourself as to col or. The South has lost, heavily in men by the wan but he has at -lenet , Ono Million White' Male adults to-day; two-thirds of whom must work or starve. Display the Meal, Meat nnd Frbrics where all who pass may see them, and the great majority no mutter of what race will work rather than sturve. And if Labor should any w here prove deficient, hundreds will, rush thither ao soon as apprised of tho wunt. More than ,Oue Million have recently been relieved of the Musket and restored to the Plow. lie who imagines that they would rather famish than work is grossly mistaken..' ' ' ' ' , Lot no man run in debt' In theso times; but let thoso who have spare means and capacity invest somewhat in Cotton-growing. It will pay. Xeie York Tribune. 1: u it o i 1: .

Bold And bhcom promising a' this, dogma may secmn tins age ana country 01 multitu dinous publication, so far from being fresh, original, nnd, as we may say, Stubbsian, it is a veritable antiqne, with the appropriate ancient and fish-like smell, nnd has been entertained and -avowed by:tnany priests, potentates and philosophers ..ander" many circumstances, in many forms, and in many countries.

"; '' The view of journalism entertained by the Rev. Mr. Stubbs ia a good, sound, Old Do minion' piece if -opinion, which was aired long ago in 'Congress. oy j Henry A. Wise, who thanked God that there were no news papers in his dioccse-i- we mean his district. We believe that bo rather than else objected to school-houses also, 1 and held the senti ments cf Mr. John Cade in regard to read ing and writing; Whethor ho was equally hostile to pulpits, we do not know but he might have been, unless he wcro fortunate enough to secure the services of the Kcv. Mr. Stubbs, from whose Hps nothing dang erous norliscorganizing could possibly fall. This silly affectation of undervaluing public education nnd its necessary instruments, was a legitimate result of the aristocratic notions engendered by Slavery. It was fashionable among the '.'upper flosses" of the South, and their nice-minded sympathizers at the North, to undervalue popular education, and to assert that it teilded to f'ngrarianisin," nnd infidelity, nnd public disorders. Whatever served to elevate the masses was hateful in the sight of those who would have doomed the masses to perpetual ignorance to hope less bondage and unquestioning submission. It wus tho natural custom of those who hated all freedom, except their own, to de nounce freedon of thought nnd of speech as dangerous to rdcr and religion nnd law. They were meh out of their time and place the victims of ' unreasonable fear und egregious vanity men who would have sent back all learning to the cloister, and who seriously mourned the invention of printing conservatives, who sincerely ' disbelieved in human progress, and who regretted the disappearance of every vestige of the world's infancy monkish-minded gropers, of whom the Ilev.
