Tho FAN Trade.

We are gratifed to find that the fall trade
of Nashville has opened auspicionsly. and
that the prospects justify our merchants in
expecting heavy increase Of business For
years past the inducements held out by them,
in large supplies and low prices, have been
gradually convincing business men, in GER
tain sections of Tennessee, Kentucky, Ala
bama and Georgia, that this is the market
for them, that they can do as we'll here as in
distant cities where they had been previously
going. They have found that, as a grocery
market, Nashville can relieve them OF the
necessity of purchasing in New Orleans
whilst, as a market for dry goods, hats, shoe
stock, hardware, dtugs, medicines, &C., and
all the articles which make up a retail stock,
she can and does compete with the great
commercial emporiums of the East. These
facts have been established-they are no
longer questioned. The immense trade in
all thesdepartments o. business alluded to
above is the result OF the establishment of
these facts. And this trade will continue
to expand, causing its beneficial influences
to be felt in every nook and corner of society.
Line recent lucredse Oh our TdlirOdu IdCliiLlts,
opening to US new territory in Kentucky,
and elsewhere, will prove of essential advan-
tage in this respect. The human food which
poured in upon US last Tuesday, is an earn
est of the desire of the people of Kentucky,
on the line the railroad, to become acquainted
here, and when once they have tested our
markets, we may feel assured that they can
not be drawn away by any but the most sub
stantial causes. Confident that Nashville
can stand the test of the closest scrutiny,
and hold her own in a contest with any rival,
we predict for her most remunerative trade
with the new territory thrown open to her.
Her business men invite a comparison of
their goods and prices with those of other
leading commercial cities Their stocks. par
ticularly dry goods, are now very large and
comprehensive and they will take pleasure
in giving all the information desired.

RIFLE CANNON.-Expermenta trials con-
tinue to be regularly made at the Washing
ton navy yard ON this interesting branch of
projectiles. The guns tried are of various
weight and size, some proving more efficient
and controllable than Others. There was a
trial yesterday morning, for instance, wherein
five classes of cannon were tested by actual
firing. OF these. Nos. and 8. which were
from boat gun throwing a ten pound shell,
were delivered at distances very close to
each other, viz 3,430 and BAG yards each
of them just short of two miles. These shells,
we believe, are two pounds heavier than
those which were hurled with snch execution
by the French in their recent battles in Italy.
A large and most formidable looking iron
gun, made apparently of the best materials,
has been cast at the yard, and is now ready
for rifing. 1t will throw a fifty-pound she'll,
and must prove terribly destructive. 1t re-
mains to be seen what the range will be, but
three and half to four miles we should
hardly deem to be extravagaut.
From the appearance of things in the
ordinance shops it is plain that keen intell-
gence and watchful vigor preside over their
operations, leaving it manifest that no
country will be allowed to be in advance OF
this in whatever appertains to effective wea-
pOns of war.

A sudden Sensation.

A Philadelphia paper tells the following
singular story:
While the fire was burning at Ninth and
Market street, gentleman was passing that
vicinity. He was a man of large stature.
great dignity of appearance, and walked
with the air of one who was above all anxi-
cites as to the things of this world, being
evidently the possessor of ample wealth. AS
he passed up North street, on the other side
of the way from the fire, he was saluted by
two splendidly attired ladies. Greatly to
their surprise, at the very instant, instead of
a bland reception of the courtesy, the gentle
man Sprang into the air about six feet. and
gave utterance to yell that would have
done no discredit TO a most ambitious supe IN
the tragedy of "Metamora." AS be alighted
on his feet he struck off his hat and began to
tear his hair in such manner that the ladies
shrieked with mortal fear, evidently appre-
bending that their friend had gone insane.
A policeman picked up the gentleman's hat,
an inspection of which satisfactorily eluci-
dated the cause of so violent demonstration.
A red hot cinder, as large as pigeons egg,
thrown from the funnel Of one of the steam
fire engines, had fallen upon the top of his
hat, burned hole through it. fallen again
upon the gentleman's head. and burned its
way down upon the scalp.

~ The Memphis Avalanche names the
man whom it had "hid away in quiet Sc
questered spot" as the democratic candidate
for the Presidency. He is Gen. JOSEPH LANE,
of the State OF Oregon. According to the
Avalanche, he is just now the greatest man
alive. As general, as statesman, and as
an orator be is equally great. The Union and
American concurs in the estimate of the Aud-
tdache, aud we infer that he is The iavorite of
both. The Union and American also mentions
the name of ID. S. DICKINSON, OF New York,
with favor, in the same connection.
1t is noticeable that while the democratic
press OF Tennessee profess peculiar friendship
for the institutions of the South, nene Of
them have presented the name of Southern
statesman for the Presidency. They denounce
Southern Opposition men as the enemies of
the South, aud hold up Northern men as the
firm friends of the South. The intelligent
people will draw their own conclusion.

New York. and will sail in the steamer of the
9th for Central America The aspect of af-
fairs in Central America, so far as the ratifica-
ton of the treaty Is concerned, is entirely
satisfactory to the Administration. The
form, however, which Martinez's decree has
given to the question of the supposed free
transit route, leaves an appearance of still
lingering difficulties. The instructions have
been prepared by the Secretary of State with
| great care; they are firm and decided and
breathe the right kind OF spirit. The Adj
minisiration have learned that the arrange
ments for the mail line via Nicaragua to
| California, are now so far completed that
mails will undoubtedly leave New York and
| San Francisco on the 9Th of October. This
secures the opening of that favorite route
for passengers. 1t is rumored that General
| Walker at the instignation OF the opponents
of this line, is organizing another expedition,
| with a view to interrupt the arrangements of
the Company. His enterprise will fail, as
the Government is prepared to counterfeit his
movements. The Administration will use
all its power to protect the rights of the mail
carriers over the Transit route.
