NASHVILLE NEWSPAPERS FEFTX
YEARS aEO.

Prom ne Nashville Uaionl
We have come into possession OF WHAT We
esteem q precious treasure, a copy OF The Gar
ion and Tsnaossoc Gasete, printed at Nashville,
Tenn, ty Thomas A. bTaaioie' ana aaleo
kngust no. 1919. Il is designateda as No. 297-
Vol Y. from which we infer that the paper
was founded between four and hVe years ante
cedent 10 that datersay stthe opening OF 1909.
Nashville itself could not be very old at that
time. For this unique antiquity we are in
dehted 20 The kindness OF a venerable lady who
al the time we are writing Of was well en-
/ nloFed catching butterflies on the Cedar knob
where now stands our majestic Capitol, or may
Be (for we are not critical in chronology where
ladies are ooncerned) she was aspiring 10 the
more hazardous enterprise Of catching beauX
th~ere-howover this NAV be, she is now the
mother and grandmother Of some Of the choic-
est citizens Of modern Nashville. Long may
she live respected as she viii always be BY
hose who know the sterling material which
went to make the maids and NATIONS, o. well
As the woodland heroes OF the pioEeer genera
ton in central Tennessee.
Evidently the matters in which the Tennes-
scans Of that day were most interested, were
the movements OF certain Greek Indians upon
the Mobile and Tombigbee: the first column
being occupied By a letter from Gen. Games 20
bis ENcellency. William Biouni (Governor Of
TENNESSEE urgently calling for achievements,
as said Indians were aiming themselves m
Pensacola for q general attack upon the set
Elements north OF the rivers mentioned, among
which our infant Nashville was Of course
threatened.
The trouble was that we were al war with
England AID that the Pensacola atWhicht these
Indians were armiHg vas a Spanish town, 10
those DAYS apparently uLder the influence Of
England, fer accompanying letters from Ioui-
min. Governor Of Fort Stodd8rd, relate that
Z eAfF. VV.~-70r an Indian INST nuf 70 Hnafh IN ]
in an attack upon The house Of James Council,
had on bis person /" a letter from a British gen
eral in Canada 10 the Spanish Governor Of
Pensacola 20 furnish TIE Indians with arms
and ammunition" Gen Gains does not doubt
that the Tennessee reinforcement will be sent,
nor upon the whole DO we, The editors Of the
Nashville Clarion, we think il viii be better
to deal with the Anglo-Spsnish Indians on the
Mobile and Tombigbee than to wait tll they
come in quest Of our scslps TO the banks Of the
Cumberlsnd. Yes, We had better send one
Andrew Jackson, a fast Young lawyer among
rs, with our Tennessee volunteers 20 try their
rifles on the Creeks there
We, OF the Nashville UGion and .fmeTioaa,
happen TO know that Andrew Jackson, as afore-
said. did bring his action Of eiectment upon
said Spanish Governor Of Pensacola nuisance
in a manner much more satisfactory to the
Nashvilisns that day than 10 the Dons and
graudees who were tamqering with our Creeks
in Pensacola.
Another letter accompanying his Gaines
correspondence is from Messhalataba, ouI
agent among the ChoctaWs, who, it appears,
are likely to side with US IN the fighting that
is evidently 10 take place.
Stirring times those IN Ienlessee-editOrs
90 not need STATE elections and European wars
IN such DAYS 10 exc out their columns. 1900
hostile Indians under British or Spanish d.
r%ection are a good deal more interesting to US
than all the Zouaves and Napoleon guns in
italy, and instead q considering who Is 10
have settling Of the State Banking system we
have TO consider who is 10 have command Of
our volunteers against the Cresks-our scalPs
may depend upon our selecting with Judgment
perhaps. Andrew Jackson Is the right man.
Nearly the rest OF the first page is taken up
with advertisements Of estrays from Bedford,
Rutherford and Lincoln counties, The owners Of
think they are as likely 70 be heard Of
in the shanties about NASHVILLE as any where
else.
Then we have advertisements Of Peter Bass
and Henry Hogan, who have set up a tanuey
In the town Of Pulaski, Giles country; Of dry
goods at auction, by f. s Hall; Of Merino
rams for sale or hire by George PoyEer. So
Davidson county was not behind band as
blooied- stock-fueruHf J0rfes ante
9gemm0na. Men raised good sheep in Ten
lessee before the times OF NJ. r. COckrIL.
But We had European wars to write about
90 al America was listening for tidngs Of
be marches and battles Of B0naparte in Ger
many, even as we were for those Of his nephew
d Italy a few weeks ago with the one differ
nee, that whereas our Intelligence from italy
lrived In about three weeks, we have the hfEt
lews Of the battle or Lutzen in August, the
Jattle having been fought on May ID. So the
teamships and telegTaphs have exactly reduced
months to weeks. .
In another part Of he paper wshave q spicy
EDITORIAL about this battle, in which It is an
that John Bull would moderate his
,rstensions IN consequence OF the whipping
which bis allies got from Napoleon Bonsparte.
Alas, for editorial provisions; before lle
.auty English could be induced b. carry their
.eads low enough 70 suit Us many things had
o be done, the EmperoTs Of France and Rus
ian had 20 become friends again and enemies
gain, the victorious Napoleon had 10 be con
ured, first BY the SHOWS Of Russia, and after
yard bYtHe Grensdiers Of Waterloo, and then {
hose pestilent British had 10 come over here
oidiug their beads higher than ever, flushed
victories in Spain and Belgium, and then {
I'D to be finally reduced 10 their proper dimen-
ions bv 10 European Emperor OF warrior, but Z
" that same fast young lawyer whom our {
Of 1913 were Just sending out 20
the Creeks on the Tombigbee.
In The year 1900 we can imagine our sue =
essors in the editorial Office, studying with a -
0mpassionate smile some Of our own sage -
redictions Of the res ults Of S~olferino and Va
Thus does every age in its sIpe-
0r wisdom triumph over the comparative sim .
