WE spoke last week, Of the steady pro-
gress of Clarksville in the march of i'm
provement, and this leads US to advert to
the prosperity of the neighboring town of
New Providence. It's progress has been
quite rapid, though silent, and it is doing
a much larger business than is generally
suspected. It's stores, groceries and work
shops are well patronized, and its location
North of Red River-gives it the con-
troll Of a large Forwarding and Commits
sion business. In addition to Linwood
and Trice's Landing-both well establish
ed and commedious Warehouses, Mr.. John
X. Smith is just completing a large fire.
proof Warehouse, at the mouth Of Red
River. The building is two stories, and
so arranged that produce can be delivered
into either story from the Wagons, by an
upper and a lower road. 1t is approached,
from the lower Bridge, by a new turnpike
well constructed and of easy grade, and
the wharf, now nearly finished, is a SUI
perior one, The building is $50 feet by
90. Contiguous to this, is a steam barrel
factory, the property of Ogden & Co.,
which is doing a large business, and pro-
wing to be a great acquisition to the Mills,
which are numerous in the vicinity. But
a few steps from the bridge, Mr.. James
Cummings is erecting a steam Distillery,
calculated to do a large bushes. The To-
cation is a perfect one, and the establish
ment promises to be profitable. 1t will be
in operation in about five weeks. There
are also two large tobacco Stemmeries in
Providence, both of which we learn, will
be in full operation SO soon as the season
opens.
We must not be understood as saving
that all these establishments are actually
within the corporate limits of Providence,
but they are so nearly so as to justify the
mention of them as a part of the town,
and of its business.

WE learn from the Columbia Mirror, of
the 10Th ult., that our townsman, Mr.. J..
M. Glascock, received the premium for the
best set of Buggy Harness exhibited at
the Fair recently held in that place. We
are pleased to record this fact, as we have
stated in another column, that "our city
can boast of the best class of mechanics in
the West" 1t is proper to state that the
Fair at Columbia was largely represented
with manufactured articles of every de-
s~cription.

MosT Of our citizens enjoyed an intel
lectual feast in the series of ermo upon
the Prophecies by Rev. s. D. Baldwin,
commencing last Sabbath morning and
closing on Tuesday night, at the M. Z.
Church. Mr.. Baldwin may properly be
ranked with the master spirits of the age
"a great intellect. We leave a descrip-
ton of these discourses to a more able
pen. We hope some one competent to the
task will furnish it for publication.
Since penning the above, We learn that
Mr.. Baldwin has a work in press, embra-
all his views upon this subject, which will
be ready for delivery about the first Of
January next. All who desire a copy
should subscribe for it now-it will be
furnished for 81 so per copy, to subscri.
~bers-others will have to pay a higher
rate.

THE Circuit Court of Cheatham County,
was organized by the Hon. W. W. Pepper,
on the Sd Monday in October, by authori-
ty of an act of the present Legislature.
1t is doubtful whether Cheatham will con
t'nue to be a county, for any great length
OF time, as the counties of Montgomery
and Davidson have filed bills in the Chan
Gerry Court, for the purpose of recovering
the portions of territory taken from them
in the formation of the new county.
