RATHRR Street.-The editress of the Olive

communication from Nashville Tennessee in
quiring whether some female printers could be
hired there to go to Nashville, replied as fol-
lows:

work in printing Office, or any other office, has
lover, whom she would be just as likely to
trade for Tennessee article, as she would be
to swap him off for grizzly bear. The idea of
ID Boston girl, who goes to operas, patronlzes Ju-
liens concerts, wdltZes once week, eats ice
cream rides in the omnibus, wears satin slip
pers sometimes kisses the editor, going to Ten
nessee, except she goes there the wife of one
of your frs-cass citizens, editors excepted, is
truly ridiculous. Wouldn't girl with silk
dress. with lace edged pantalets, and shiny gait
er boots, look well trudging through the mud
and mire of Nashville to an old barn of a print
ing office WHILE III one corner of the same room,
two old darkies are jerking away at old ram
age press, and in the other the editor is squirt
ing tobacco juice over the floor. Wouldn't she
be in a nice fix when the editor and some great
brute of fellow. whom he offended, got play
ing at the game OF shooting their revolvers
across the office at each others heads! Who
would make the fire when the - had run
off, and the editor was drunk Who'd go home
with her dark nights? Who would take her
out to ride on Saturday afternoon, and go to
church with her on Sunday! No, sir, Boston
girl wouldn't go to Tennessee for love or mon
ey. She can get enough of both nearer home.

We may look in the next six months for most in
teresting phases of this standing quarrel between
Russia and Turkey. 1t is even yet possible thata
peace may be patched up; but probabilities are
against this suppositon. And if the war continues,
we may regard it as certain thai it will become
generalin Europe Nothing but the fear ofrevolu-
ton in Western Europe has hitherto prevented its
involving all the great powers And the vast re
sources and equally vast ambition of Russia seem
to furnish fuel for kindling confagration on an
immense scale. t-S 5FtEsh
1t is supposed that Lord JOHN Russell will take
the place of Lord PALMERsroN. r..f -
After the lst proxmo we may look for more
interesting speeches in Congress than any hitherto
made during this session. Mr.. CHAMBERLAfs-a
representative from Indians-is handling Mr..
BRIGHr without gloves in some correspondence to
the West The latter is supposed to have been the
democratic Senator who most actively arranged the
opposition to General ARMSTRONG in the Senate.

Biessrs Eli1rs Union and american:
After my congratulations and hearty good wish
Is for prosperity Of every description to you in the
ensuing year, I have record to make mp for the
last week of immense interest First, of the DO
rnestic news: On Monday Congress adjourned on
account Of the death Of that excellent member OF
the House, BRoOKMs CAAIruELL. He was, by the
testimony of many, man Of eminent moral char
acter and Of sound political judgment. Feeling trib-
utes were paid to HMM the House.
Many petitions and memorials have been pre-
scented during the week on subjects Of interest
some of which will he particularly noticed hereaf
ter. Mr. SEWARD has introduced a bill for a Rail
road norii Of the 40,h degree of latitude Mr..
SEWARD seems to have great pcaclum for so fixing
his measures that they sha. be sectional As to
feasibility believe in the practicabilty of all the
leading routes, l. E. in asouthern middle and north
EN- route but that is not he question on this sub
iect The question is as to commercial advantages,
counting expense The Reports which viii come
in about the middle of February viii serve to give
us more light on the subject than we yet have.
The Democracy of Georgia has endorsed Presi-
dent PIERcEs administration, as it had good reason
to do
What combinations may be made against the ad-
ministraton, it will require two months yet fully
TO deyelope, but from week to week some rays of
light may come from the Opaque of intrigues on
foot with respect to The designs Of those concerned
The foreign news is of vast interest. There has
been great naval batte-tho greatest since Ma
varno. Loss OF the Turkish vessels thirteen: Rus
SANS seven. Los of men. 1000 on the part of the
Turks; 1000 on the part u the Russians in this one
naval engagement In minor G.l,t since in
which three Turkish vessels We're erogo,o5 t,-, os
capped and the Captain Of one rather ,b,o s,,-r,,,
der, blew his vessel up The war Is ,yor,l ,,, Ill,
sides with all the anmosity OF a religions fs,,d
The Russians have gained considerab le yir,c~;.
Asia: but not enoughto counterbalance the e6..,
there of the brilliant successes Of the Turks in that
quarter and of Sheimyt in Circassa.
The Africa's news is the latest, being reported in
the St,, of this morning by telegraph. The result
OF the great naval engagement seems to be that the
allied fleets will 60 into the Black Sea. VIII they
take a decided part? BY this steamer we learn
that Lord PALMERsroN has resigned We know
hat he was for decisive and warlike measures
His resignation, therefore would seem to indicate
hat the do nothing party has the ascendency in the
British Cabinet To me 1t seems improbable that
England intends to become very actively party in
id of Turkey, and if the war continues she will
u one pretext or another deach herself from Tur-
ey, and make herself secure by occupying Syria.

1916, entitled an act to charter the Sewer turnpike
road. Report concurred in, and bill passed second
reading.
Mr. FARoUHARsoN introduced bill to defray the
expenses of the present General Assembly.
Mr.. REAGAN bill directory to the Comptroller

Mr.. REID a bin to create the common law and
chancery court Of the county of Davidson, to be
held at Nashville and
Mr. DUNLAP, Of Henry: a bill requiring all mort
cages be in writing and for other purposes which
bills severay passed first reading.
On motion by Mr.. DAVIS,
4 The Senate took up the verbal message from the
Governor requesting permission to withdraw his
nominations of Inspectors of the Penitentiary.
Mr.. REID spoke at some length in opposition to
granting permission for such withdrawal on the
ground that the confirmation was not the kind of
legislative action which could be reconsidered: that
1t was In the llgnt OF an election.
Mr.. BELL replied, arguing in favor of the right of
the Senate to reconsider their vote confirming the
nominations
Mr.. NAVE took the position that the new nspec-
tors now legally in possession of the peniten
tiary, and could not be got out of it by reconsid
Grafton Of the vote on their confirmation.
Mr.. Nixon spoke on the other side, maintaining
the right OF the Senate to reconsider and the nva
ldty Of the action of the present inspectors after
the vote confirming them is reconsidered.
Mr.. FARouHARsoN also defended the reconsidera-
ton, and spoke at length; in the course of his
speech stating the nominations had been 1cadraecR
by the Governor; that there were now consequently
no nominations before the Senate; that no action
of the Senate was now necessary, nor could be had
until other nominations were sent in by the Cover
nor.
Mr.. HAvRoN did not believe the Senate could le
gally reconsider the vote confirming the nomina-
TONS any more than the vote electing John Bell
as Senator could be reconsidered He defended
the character of the inspectors-Mr Sloan especial
ly; and hoped they would be permitted to stand.
Mr.. BELL took the floor to reply; but gave way to
motion for recess until p o'clock.

.B- The Richmond Enquirer, in abiding to
Washington affairs, says:
I'VE observe that the election of Mr. Tucker. of
the Sentinel printer to the Senate is the occas-
ION OF great exultaton the part of the opposition
They affect to regard this event as indicative of the
opposition which the administration is to encoun-
ter in the Senate. And doubtless they are correct
to certain extent In supporting Mr. Tucker the
wings and aboitonists did unquestionably aim
blow at the administration, but we will not believe
that any democratic Senator harbored such a pur-
pose As regards the Senators from Virginia we
are confident that other impulses than that of dis
content with the administration determined their
conduct in the matter. They will undoubtedly as
sert their independence of judgment which charac-
terises them men and BELTS them as Senators,
but they will extend to the administration a sup
port all the more effective in being the result of at
tachment TO principle. 1t is mistake to suppose
that the administration of President Pierce does
not possess the confidence of the democracy-
Whatsoever discomfort NAV have prevailed, in con-
sequence OF the course Of the administration in
respect to the New York feud has been entirely
propitiated by the development of principles and
policy made in the message of the President and
the reports from the departments. Democratic
Members of Congress will but represent the senti-
ment of the democratic party Of the country, in
sustaining the administration in its efforts to carry
out democratic principles in the policy of the gov
eminent We are confident that the adminstra-
ton will not fail to secure the confidence and SUD-
port Of a democratic Congress, notwithstanding
these indications Of dsafection which SO delight
the opposition"
