Economy.

Eveyy intelligent and prudent man strives
to reduce his household expenditures TO a
scale consistent with hs income. His con-
slant effort is to economist in groceries and
marketing. No item of expenditure is apt to
annoy him more than the heavy cost of mar
ketng. He is constantly surprised at the ex-
peusiveness of vegetables, meats and other
provisions, and is at IA loss To account for the
cause. The experiments of sundry persons
during the past year have resulted in discov-
cry of the secret with which every man, espe-
cialy every citizen of moderate means Is desi-
rous of knowing. The reason exists in the
system OF public markets Costumes of sub
sisteuce arises from combination which butch
ers, hucksters, DC, are enabled to form TO
keep up the price Of their commodities, while
they are associated together under II syste-
matte organization. The rvmad y for this evil
il rapidly growing, and the time is not very
far distant when tue community will rejoice
at the utter abolition of regular and stated
markets. That remedy Is the establishment
of private family markets. A casual obs, ry-
er taking mere superficial view If existing
facts, concludes thai rents paid by idviduals
engaged In private marketing must enhance
the cost of produce, and III, rcfUre insist that
, domestic expenses mast consequently be- in
creased in that ratio. Experience dlsproves
that argument. Proprietors Of private mar
kets are all competitors. Each seeks custom
ers for himself, aud refuses 10 combine with
others against the public. To gain customers,
superior inducements In the reduction OF
prices, in liberal dealing, or in the superior
qualities of commodities, must lac offered.
The man who j. enterprising, therefore, builds
up the best trade, and receives u profitable re-
ward Tor has enterprise. His profits GA any
single article are not 80 large a. those receiY-
cd by butchers, Sc., in the regular markets,
but the sum total nj the end ~ the year Is
greater, just ia proportion 10 the extent of his
trade. How this system result economi-
cally to the housekeeper. We've tried. and

FlOrentinO Gonzales, AttOrney-General of
New Granada, in report on the new Federal
Constitution which is now before that Con
grcss, recommends the eight States of New
Granada to apply for admission into the Union!
1t is not singular that the most enlightened
men of this Republic should despair of main
tanning much longer their nationality, pressed
down by a debt of forty millions of dollars,
which the interest is annually increasing,
while the Treasury exhibits yearly deficit of
100000 to SI,000,000. Gonzales is a liberal
minded man, educated in Europe, and has
lived here. He says:
Let us become a part of the American
Union. and the States of New Granada will
find themselves in the same condition as are
New York Pennsylvania and other States of
the Confederation: enjoying externally the
protection the power of that great people can
insure us. and preserving our Government
and the means of lettering our internal con-
ditiOn without risk from those vandalic incur
siOns with which we are at present threatened.
Our public lands will be in great demand for
cultivation. our rivers will be improved, and
our commerce be prodgiOusly extended.
"IncOrpOrate the Granadian States into the
American Union, and responsibility of that
great nation will preserve us from all incon-
veniences-will give us all the Importance
which they possess, and end the insecurity
which lessons our population and paralyzes
every business. We shall lose a nominal ma
tionality, to acquire potent, real one, that
will be respected throughout the world"

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE DAT
PHIN."-On Thursday evening, Sth inst, as the
Rev. Eleazer Williams, who claims to be the
son of Louis XVI. was sitting alone, at late
hour, in his room at No. 474, Pennsylvania
Avenue, Washington, a man entered the room
and rushed toward him with an uplifted dag
ger, eXclaiming, " I've got you at last, have
T." Mr.. Williams, although seventy-eight
years old, sprung up aud seized his assailant
by the arm, at the same time calling loudly
for help. y short but desperate struggle en-
sued, when the assassin, alarmed at the APP
proach of the family, fed. When the inmates
of the house reached the room, they found Mr..
Williams lying exhausted, with the dagger
near him on the floor. He is not injured, but
is almost Frustrated with excitement. He
thinks ne has seen the william before, and be-
lieves him to be man who stopped at the
house for several days, perhaps to learn his
room and habits.

EIIOpenent.

Some western papers are making merry
over the abduction of a young girl fifteen
years ofage, and marrying her against the con-
sent of her father. The fun of the thing is that
the adventurer is poor; the father wealthy, and
refused his consent to the marriage Of a
daughter but little more than a child i'll years.
What a treasure to community is Il discreet
press intoxicating such lessons of filial respect
and affection Ma. Haeligencr.
We commend the above, says the Philadel-
phia american, to the calm reflection of a
number of our exchanges. The habit referred
to is quite prevalent among a certain class of
editors, who chuckle over cases of elopcment
like the one quoted, as though there was some
thing delightful in the enterprise of pennless
adventures and romantic school girls. The
press must not expect people to respect it
when editors degrade its functions and inhict
an injury upon the moral tone of the rising
generation. Young America is pert. forward
and presumptuous enough, in all conscience,
without being encouraged and stimulated by
those who should represss its needless ardor
1t is the fault of our country and of our age,
that our youths are ungovernable and disObe-
dent. There is too little restraint exercised
over them. The lamentable absence Ofwhole-
some discipline is visible everywhere. But
surely journalists ought not to applaud or en-
courage il.

MIR. Eyerettss Route.

Hon. EDWARD EVERETT left Charleston last
Friday for Columbia, s c., where he was to
repeat his WAsnrNoroN Lecture Friday night.
The Courier states that he will then Pr oceed
via Augusta, to Atlanta, Macon, Milledgcville,
Columbus. Montgomery, Mobile and New Or
leans, and deliver his WASHINGTON Lecture,
successfully, at those places. lie will then
wend his way up the Mississippi, visiting
Vicksburg, Memphis and other cities OF the
West in his route Northwards. His acquaint-
ance with the Gulf cities and the Father OF
Rivers, will doubtless furnish him with new
materials and illustrations for The assimilating
power of that magic eloquence, which has al
ready placed him on the summit of oratorial
fame"
We insist upon it that a committee of our
citizens shall wait upon him at Memphis and
bring him to Nashville, by force of arms, or
something else.

TUIIAHonA, April 10, 1858.
-Nessrs. Editors: As a warm summer has been
prophesied by the knowing ones, and the citi-
zens of Nashville are not partial to heat, and
dust, believe it would be but Just to call
their attention to the many advantages that
our town is blest with as a summer retreat.
Tullahoma is situated II miles from Nashville
and 80 miles from Chattanooga; and is, ae-
cording to the statement of engineers, the
highest point on the n. & C. r. r. To the
invalid this place has many advantages. such
as pure air, and good water; the town and
country around has an unlimited supply OF
good freestone water, as well as mineral ;
there is a pure stream of water running
through the town, which is formed by two
large springs one-half mile above the town;
the water of which is quite cool enough to
drink at this place through the summer; the
nights are quite pleasant. and your inveterate
enemies the mosquitoes are unheard here, as
753 feet above the level of the Cumberland
is rather a high flight for them. We are
within twenty minutes ride by Railroad of
Elk and Duck rivers. where the angler can
WELD his tackle to his hearts content. The
huntsman can here find turkies and deer in
abundance. Our town is now about seven
years old, and has a population of about
1900; there are now some fifteen or twenty
new buildings being erected, among which
are two churches, a Baptist and Cumberland
Presbyterian; there is already good Church
owned by the Methodists, and although our
town has had a great deal of opposition to
contend with, it bids fair yet to surpass any
point on the road. The Railroad from this
point, known as the Southwestern Road, de-
signed to connect with the great Central Ken
lucky Road, leading from Cincinnati through
Lexington and Danvilfe is going ahead
There are now about one hundred hands at
work between McMnnville and Sparta. and
Notwithstanding the hard times, the friends of
the road are quite sanguine of its success.
And should the friends of the Southern Epis-
copal University see proper to change their
opinions relative to the location of this insti-
tuition, they would do well to examine our
beautiful table lands, which can be had at
quite reasonable price, and weigh well the
many advantages that can be had here.
FRIEND.

These are facts. fully and satisfactorily de-
monstrated by numerous citizens who have
experimental. One householder assures us
that his meat bills in market formerly cost
him SIS per week. He now deals with pri-
vate butcher, consumes an equal or greater
quantity of meat, and his weekly bills for six
months have not exceeded an average of So
The prices paid for beef in each place were
precisely equal. Another, whose meat bills
formerly amounted to $40 per week. has dealt
with private butcher during the past two
months. and his weekly account now varies
from Sc to So. We could cite many similar
instances. but it is not necessary. These facts
satisfy US that the public markets must finally
become obsolete. People are discovering the
economy of dealing at private markets, and
these concerns are multiplying rapidly. A
year ago but thirty existed in this city. To-
day they exceed hundred. A hard struggle
will be made TO sustain the old system, be-
cause it involves the interests of influential
persons, and because it makes places 10 re,cdrd
