Education, the most sanguine of their friends.
Every Sag NIGHT Alderman elected will be
just one jaring note to disturb the harmony OF
the present arrangement. The present Board
has conceived, and prepared the way for
the execution of important plans of re-
trenchment, looking to the removal of the
large public debt of the city, and the eventual
reduction of the present burdensome taxation.
Let an opportunity be secured for the con-
summation of all this, by the election of the
whole American ticket. Every voter should
go to the polls, and especially every tax payer,
as with the latter the proper administration
of the city government is matter of dollars
and cents.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 2s.

The WEATHER.-The cool nights and mora
ings and days too, are upon us suddenly, and,
as far us we are concerned, are entirely well
come. We part with the mosquitoes right
willingly, and welcome jack frost, the con-
quering hero of ten billion victims of the in
sect tribe.

THEATEE.-The Adelphi has been well at
tended since its opening. Miss WYETTE is an
actress of merit, and promises to be a favorite.
Tonight she appears as Juliet, with Mr.. Nor
timer as Romeo The farce of Mr.. and Mrs.
LiLlY White concludes the entertainment.

The Legislature.

The members of the Legislature are arriving
slowly. GEO. L. HOLMES, one of the mem
bers of the House from Shelby county is
stopping at the City Hotel.
At the Verandah, Col G. II. Nixon, Sena-
tor from Giles, Lawrence and Wayne.
At the Hotel, ALFREDO. HALL, Senator from
the district composed OF the counties Of Ben
ton, Humphreys, Perry, Decatur and Hender-
son. J. B. ALeEE, joint Representative from
Carroll, Madison, Gibson and Henry.
At the Inn, ROBERT G. BURcH, Representa-
tive from Hamilton; and W. @. WHITTHoRNE,
Senator from Maury, Lewis, Hickman and
Dickson.
At the Sewanee, W. II. DEWITT, Joint
Representative from the counties Of Smith,
Sumner and Macon.
THE MECHANICS FAR.-Odd Fellows Hal is
now opened for the reception of articles for
exhibition, and gentlemen and ladies win be
constantly in attendance to receive and as
sign to their appropriate places all contribu-
tions. The Board of Directors are sparing no
pains, expense or labor, to make the Mechan-
les Fair pass off creditably 10 the city, and
rebound TO the promotion Of the great inter-
ess which it is designed to stimulate 1t de-
vOles upon our citizens to step forward prompt
ly and aid them in this important enterprise
Their labOrs alone, though ever so great and
unremitting will avail nothing without the
countenance and cooperation of the public
They are entitled to this, and the interest of
the city demand that they shoald get IT, Who
will be found hanging back,l No one, we
hope.
Absurd and Ridiculous Rumor-Health OF this City.
A gentleman in our office yesterday from
Mississippi, informs us that the report was
current in that country when he left a few
days since, that the cholera and yelIow .terer
were prevailing in Nashville. A second visitor
from Jefferson county in this State, informed
us that he heard the report in Knoxville that
the yellow fever was bad here.
Tie residents of Nashville, who know so well
with what unusual good health a kind Provi-
dence has blessed our city during the entire
summer, these rumors must appear intensely
absurd, and hardly worth a notice We deem
it proper, however, to state, that the city,
proverbial for its usual good health, has never
been freer from diseases, either of an ep-
idemic or sporadic character, than during the
entire summer, and especially at the present
time.
We hope cur contemporaries will give us
,ha hanafit of G contradiction of these absurd
