Our New Dress.

In pursuance of discrimination heretofore
IN mentioned, We send out the PATRIOT this morn
ing in a new dress We think ii will be gem
orally conced d that its appearance is neat and
elegant. The new types which we are using,
are from the foundry of Messrs- JAS. CONNER IL
SON, New York, are made OF new description
of metal, and we venture TO say, are, in every
respect, the most superior ever used in Nash
vile. 1t is really treat to an " old jour " to
finger them. The Messrs. CoNNER not only
make good types; but are oblging, enterpris-
ing business men, whom we take great pleasure
IN commenting to the attention of the craft.
We cannot let this occasion pass without re-
turning our pro.ouHdest thanks to our patrons,
and the public, generally, for the liberal man
ner in which the PATRIOT has been sustained.
With some misgivings, little more than two
years ago, we purchased the establishment, but
have had no causc to regret the venture. On
the contrary we have had occasion to felici-
tate ourselves upon the large accessions to orr
subscription list, and the great increase in the
advertising and job printing patronage Of the
Office. The march Of the PATRIOT has been
steadily onward, and with the continued favor
OF our friends, it shall know s. 10 step back
ward The expenditure which we have made,
in the midst Of a severe monetary pressure, to
keep up the genteelappearance Of our paper, is
an earnest Of our desire to give Ourreaders, and
our advertising customers, all the advantages OF
good IMPRESSIONS as well as to sustain the favor
able impression already made upon the popular
heart. May we not hope for still greater
Using patrons.

From the London Times
Rachel the Great Actress.


DEATH OF MADEMOISEILE RACHEI~-Many of
our readers who, till within the past two or
three years have been accustomed to regard
the performance Of series of characters by
Madcmoisclle Rachel one of the regular
events Of the London season. will be shocked
to learn that on Sunday last she depart d this
life at her estate in Cannes That her Illness
would have any other than a fatal result few
indeed ventured to hope. but nevertheless,
death. whenever it comes. is sudden in its as
pect, especially when it brings with it Il change
of tastes ard habits.
Madpmoiselle Rachel was of humble origin
Her father was a hawker, of the Hebrew per-
snasiOn, and she was born on the 2ith of March,
1920, at the Swiss village of NUM-. while her
parents were engaged OH professional tour.
The family afterw: rds settled for some time t
Lyons, where the eldest child, Sarah. pursued
the vocation Of a vocalist at the various
"cafcs" while Rachel. the future actress, col
lccted money from admiring connoisscurs.-
In 1880 Paris became the residence of the Fee
liX family. aud little Rachel, rising from the
merely financial department joined with her
sist a singer at the cafes on the Boule-
wards While thus employed. il seems she at
acted the attention of NJ ChOron, founder {
the Royal Institution for the study of sacr d
music, who ut once took charge of her fortunes.
However he soon discovered that she was
more suited for the dramatic than the musical
profession, and he accordingly placed her un-
der the tuition of VI. st. Auare. In 1886
she WAS admitted rs pupil at the Conscrva-
toire.
Her first appearln ce in public rs an actress
was in April, 1887, at the Gymnase, when she
played in II farce called LA Eendeene, " with
out making any particular sensation. 1t is
from her performance Of Camille" at the
Tn alter Franchise, on the "a of June. 1888,
that her European reputation is to DE dated.
and to the end this character has remained
the most celebrated in her repertory.
After her last engagement in this country,
which took place in the year 1855 she paid thu I
visit To the United States which brings the IT,
cord OF her professional life to its close. Re
ports of declining health or of couvalescence
formed the staple Of intelligence T, specting
Mad cmoisclle Rachel since her return from
the other side OF the Atlantic, until conjecture
was dissipated by the melancholy fact record
ell at the head of this article.
The y. Y. Tribune says:
The fatal malady of which she died was con-
tracted i'll this country during her visit to
Boston in the autumn Of 1853. 1t was great
ly aggravated ut Philadelphis where she
played a single night in a cold theater, the
performance being followed by violent pne-
umoaic attack. Her last appearance on the
stage WAS at Charleston, 5. C., where she play
''Adrienne Lecouvrcur" A lady in the au-
dience. on that occasion, wrote the next day
to friend in this city that Rachel would
never act again, a prophecy but too exactly
fulfilled.

Farewell 10 Nashville.

Fair city of the "hills" adieu,
With tears of fond regret
Thy fast receding shores l view,
For how can forget
The scenes of youthful hope and joy
When all seemed bright and gay,
And not a grief care arose,
To cloud my LIES young day
Sweet Cumberland, - by thee I've strayed,
And culled Springs earliest flowers;
And on thy verdant banks have played,
In childhood's happy hours
But, oh, no more III pensive view,
Thy chrystal waters glide;
1 go where Mississippi rolls
Majestic, deep and wild.
Yet tho wander from thee;
There is a hallowed spot
Within thy bounds that never can be
Whilst life remains-sforyot.
For there in Deaths dark slumbers rest,
The friends so kind and dear,
Whose memory IS shrined within my heart
With fond religious
But when gentle Spring returns,
With all her vernal showers;
Some other hand than mine shall strew
Each lowly grave with flowers
Yet oft will fancy sadly trace,
The deep sequtstered shade;
And linger DER the grassy mound
Where they are softly laid
And dear loved ones leave in grief,
Whose hearts are warm and true;
And deep the anguish Of my soul
As bid them a1ieu.
And yet to sOOthe each aching heart,
hope divine is given;
friends sIyTb
We all can meet ia heaUen;
And now, the last embrace is DER,
The boat hath lett the strand
And perhaps shall see no more,
One of that dear-iOved band.
And as l gaze the winding shore
Conceals them from my view;
Ye friends so dear, a long farewell,
Home of my youth adieu.

Some of the Washington letter writers report
that advices received by the War Department
from the Utah expedition are of disastrous
character, that Brigham Young will bring S.
600 men in the field aad that large lumber
of Mormons from Texas and California will
hasten to Salt Lake. But Ion, the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. says that
Col. Johnson's force squite safe. His officers
and men were only anxious that no reinforce
ments should arrive prior to an engagement
with the Mormons, if one they mean TO have.
The Mormons, as a body, it is report d by
some, cannot be driven into actual resistance
to the troops, even 10y the ord of Br.g ham
Young. Some will probably migrate and
others will submit, and be arr, stod tried, and
punished for crimes and Inisdemeaaors.
dispatch to the Philad lphia Journal says ::
The nomination of Joseph A. Wright. of In
diana, minister to Berlin, is withheld by the
President, and it is probable that even if sent
to the Senate, it could not be confirmed 1t
appears that Governor Wright has rendered
himself an object of ridicule at the Prussian
court by his total abstinence demonstration.
But that is not the main reason of the Presi-
dents action in this case. Wright is the pol
itcal rival of Jesse ID. Bright, in Indiana, and
a strong friend of Senator Douglas This ac-
counts for the milk in the cocOanut If the
President persists in sighting Gov. Wright, he
will add most influential politician to the
ranks or his opponents. and throw Indiana into
the hands of the Senator from Illinois
a letter is said to he in existence, written
by the President to Gov. Wise, assuring him
of the hearty support of the Administration in
his contest with Senator Hunter, and stating
that its policy was firmly fixed in favor Of sub
hitting the Kansas Constitution to the people
Mr.. Hunter totally repud;ated that principle !;
the Administration saw he was the strongest
and went over to him. betraying Gov. Wise to
his enemies.
Gov. Wise is laying his plans and will have
his revenge. He is preparing letter expo
sing the treachery and criminal conduct of the
Administration towards Kansas He cares
nothing for the Legislature. He will appeal
to the people. He will take the stump, and
invoke the power of that magnificent oratory
which crushed Know Nothingism in Virginia
in 1854. He has already triumphed before the
people of Virginia on this very issue of the
right of the people to form by their representa-
tives and to confirm and adopt by their own
votes the constitution under which thev will
choose to live. This was the issue which he
fought out in the convention and on the stump
in lS49 or 80, between the sections of tide
water and trans montane Virginia. His own
constituents of the Southeast were unani-
mously hostile to him, but he argued them out
of their opposition, AID made them yield to the
thin settlements of the West.
