TION,
Mr.. Editor:
observe posted on the bulletin boards
along the street, a notice addressed "to
the citizens Of Bridgeport Township"
calling . meeting Of the residents of
the township at North San Juan, on
Sunday, Dec. 10, Go-morrow,) for the
purpose Of forming Mutual Relief So
eiety, after the plan of the French and
German benevolent societies in San
Francisco. The object of this society is
expressed in its title, and there is no
doubt, if it could be carried into success
full operation, it would prove of decided
benefit to its members. The advantages
of insurance in individual cases are well
known, and society Of this character
ought to he well patronized whether
it will be or not, is question to be well
considered before starting.
It is obvious that thesocieties referred
to above cannot afford criterion by
which to consider this There is a
clanishness obout the French and Ger
mans, as there would be about Ameri-
cans in foreign county, pride in
La Belle France and the Faderland,
which induces them for the honor of
the soil to protect their brethren against
the necessity Of applying for charity to
people of different race in whose coun-
try they arc sojourning, and in the case
of the French, particularly, where they
have 40 intention of becoming citizens.
They speak common language, have
the same recolleotions and nearly the
same desires, and association is with
them comparatively an easy matter.
Such is not the case with the residents
of this township, coming as they do
from many States and countries, with
little in common save their daily labor
for their daily bread. You know, sir,
that the desire ofthe larger part of your
acquaintances is to obtain as much money
as they can honestly within convent
ent time, and then 60 home to enjoy it.
That large majority of them are mis-
taken in their views; that in fact their
home is here and here they will remain,
makes no difference, as long as they hold
their present opinions. As result per-
haps of these opinions, in this town, or
rather in this village, associated effort
for mutual advantage has not succeeded
proftably enough thus far, SO that one
would expect now society to start with
life assured. Those who have been
living here for the two years last past
will remcmber the attempts to provide
a supply Of water in case of FIRE, to
plank the street a year ago; and even
now, the lack of interest shewn by the
members, as well as by the residents Of
the township, in the Bridgeport Town
ship Library Association does not give
a favorable augury for society to be
started which shall depend upon month
ly dues for its support. AS long as the
present spirit holds I see no way but to
do as we have done, give sympathy
and personal assistance always in cases
Of distress, and Of this worlds goods
Is We can spare; trusting for returns to
that Providence who reoompenses with
in for all that is given without.

A FRACAs IN THE Tenn EssEE SENATE.
The Senators from Maury and Shelby
counties, Messrs. Whitthorne and WAL
ker, varied the proceedings of that body
on Monday by engaging in a small fsti-
cuff. The circumstances, as we learn
them from the Nashville Union and Ame-
rican, are:
Mr.. Whitthorne rose to a point of Or
der. Mr.. Walker, interrupting, said the
gentleman from Maury hasd risen to a
point Of order, but was proceeding to the
discussion of something else. Mr.. Walker
rejoined that Mr.. Whitthorne had been
drunk all the morning and wondered if
he thought him so. MIR. Whitthorne re-
torted that it was id lie. Whereupon
MIR. Walker struck him in the face with a
book, and the parties clinched. They
were separated without material injury to
either, and the matter was reported the
neXtmorning as amicably and honorably
adjusted both making apologies to the
Senate for the violation OF its dignity and
decorum.

Direct Communication wiz

rHNHE commercial intercourse to. be estab
Il lished between the Port of Norfolk and
the coast OF France, renders an acquaintance
with the language of that country, not only
necessity for those whose business NAV be
thus directed, but enhances its value as 4 So
cial accomplishment both to Ladies and Gen
tlemen. The undersigned having possessed
peculiar facilities in qualifying himself for
that capacity, respectfully offers his services
to the Ladies and Gentlemen of Norfolk and
Portsmouth as a French Precepter;. to the
Ladies at their residences-to Gentlemen at
his office at Mrs. Freeman's Boarding house
No. 50, e. Main street.
Schools attended both for classes of French
and Book Keeping on moder tie terms.
Merchants and others requiring Temporary
assistance in arranging their books, making
up accounts &c, will do well to apply to him
before his time is fully occupied. A thorough
knowledge of the French and sufficient ac-
quaintance with the German and Spanish
languages to keep mercantile accounts in
them if required, may render his services
useful to those engaged in the foreign CONT
mental trade.
