Ladies' FeStiUal-The Ladies of the
First Congregational Churchin this city propose
to give Festival at Coles Hall on Thursday
evening next, for the benefit of that Church
There viii be good supper, of course, for we
believe the ladies having the matter in charge
have never yet been known to get up any other
in all the enterprises Of that character with
which they have been connected. The COM
mittee, we believe, have adopted little differ
ent plan from that generally in vogue on such
occasions and propose to leave it to the liberal
ity of their guests to make such payment as
they may see fit for the entertainment provided
for them, instead of charging them fixed price.
1t is to be hoped that the attendance will be
large, and the contributions liberal. The pub

Tennessee Speaks.-Beware of ultraism.
Let no good Democrat give the least coun-
tenance to the sentiments of disunion
which now prevail to such an alarming ex-
tent in the South. Try to get consrev-
alive men from the Boilers and from the
Bell party, to unite with US in our high
and holy mission of saving this glorious
Confederacy of States. We must forget
former animosity towards those parties,
and let the good, safe, and Union loving
portions of both these parties join us
Let us cordially invite their cooperation.
We are for our contry, and our whole con-
try. We are for the American bag of
the whole Confederacy of States. We are
for guaranteeing the rights of every Sec
ton Of the Union, and with the cooper
alton of national men, we will be able to
secure to every section their just rights
within the Union Let no contingency
lead US into disunion Let this be our
motto ''TFE FEDERAL UNION-IT
MUST BE PRESERVED" Let us
cling to this as the shipwrecked mariner
does to the last plank UNION NOW
AND UNION FOREVER {! !-NashUiELe

sulting the table at the head of this column,
that material changes have been made in the
time of arrival and departure Of Rail Road

Retrenchnlent We understand that the
Board of Supervisors of this county, at its late
session, reduced the salary of the District
Attorney fifty dollars per annum, making it FIVE
hundred dollars the change to take effect ON
the incoming of the next administration Very
material reductions were also made in the fees
to be paid the Treasurer and Clerk of the Board
of Supervisors. This, it must be remembered,
is done by Republican Board, and is a direct
thrust at the pockets of Republican officials
Had the officers whose fees are thus effected,
been of different political faith from that of a
majority of the Supervisors, this action would
not have been at all singular, In the present
instance, however, we regard it as worthy of
notice, for the occurrence is rather an unusual
one if not entirely unheard of in the political
history of the county and proclaims fact
which we trust will be borne in mind by the
tax payers for whose benefit this legislation was
had The Republican party stood pledged
through its organs, in the late canvass in case
that party came into power here TO retreneh
the county expenses, and reform tie abuses
that have from year to year been perpetrated nu-
der the cover of law upon the people by corrupt
officials and a Republican Board of SuPervi--
sors has inaugurated the good work and shown
the sincerity of the pledges given, by making
such reduction in the fees of the officers we
have named as must necessarily diminish con-
sileraby tue county expenses for the coming
year. Weiregard this as but;the beginning Of
the end' ld have no doubt that when the old
dynasty gIes out and the new one comes in,
there will be an entire reform in the admins
tration of the county government. So mote it

On City BOndS.-We understand that
within a few days past a letter has been re-
'ceived by one of our leading citizens, from an
eastern party representing number of our
bondholders, in which irtimations are made
that unless there is some movement made on
the part of the city towards the settlement of
the bonds, an immediate attempt will be made
to enforce their collection. We do not know
whether the matter has been laid before the
Common Council or not. 1t is question that
seems to puzzle the brains of all our citizens,
none of whom so far as we have been able to
learn, have any very definite idea as to what
disposition shall be made of it. There is no
Disgusting the fact, that some day or other,
sooner or late-, it viii have to be met, and that
the parties holding the bonds viii have to be
Unidentified in whole or in part for them. Our
property holders and others interested in the
matter, should give it their attention, and see
if some plan cannot be devised by means of
which they and the city may be relieved from
the uncomfortable situation they are now in
Our columns are open to any one wishing to
discuss the question, or for the advancement of
any views having bearing upon it.

nyP We stated last week that the pop
ulation of Jefferson county as ascertained by
the recent census is 81, 450 Our information
was derived from table we found going the
rounds of the papers, giving the figures as COM
piled from the returns in the office Of the u S.
Marshal, and we supposed the same was refa-
BILE. The Dodge County Citizen, however
claims that there is an error, and says: {" The
five southern towns in this county, formerly be-
longed to Jefferson county, and are included in
the Assembly Districts Of that county. The
census tables published are made up from the
Marshals returns, and these five towns have
been counted in Jefferson county" Whether
the Citizen is correct or not in what it says we
cannot TELL having no knowledge about the mat
ter one way or the other. One of these days
we presume, ''the powers that be" will conde-
scend to give to the public the result of their
labors and deign to enlighten it upon the vari-
GUS points in which it is interested as regards
the facts elected by the taking of the census
In the meantime we must content ourselves
with guessing at what they are

A Step Backward-We are told that
at the late ses sion Of the Board of Supervi-
sors that body resolved to petition the Legisla-
ture this winter to abolish the Office of Police
Justice in this city. We have no particular OBJ
Jections to its memoralizing the Legislature to
DO this or any other thing that it may see fit for
buncombe or any other cause to do. but we do
object most strenuously to the Legislatures
| complying with the prayer of the petition to
which we have alluded The idea, as we I'M
| derstand it, is to return to the old system and
confer criminal jurisdiction upon all the JUS
tees of the Peace in the city. This is just
what the people do not want DONE Both sys-
! TENS have been fairly tried and we are sure
that under the one now in force, the county ex-
penses are fifty per cent. less on account of the
criminal business arising in this city, than they
would be under that formerly in vogue.
| We think the Board must have acted unad-
visedly, or it never would have committed itself
in the manner it has. An examination of its
records will attest the fact that great many
hundreds of dollars are saved the county an
nually by having one court here only in which
criminal matters can be heard, instead of four.
1t must be obvious, we think, to the mind of
any man that there would be much more crimi-
nal business done in the four courts. than is
now done in the one. There are hundreds of
trivial cases here every year in which warrants
would be issued and the county mulcted in
costs, if the belligerent complainant had four
Justices of the Peace instead of one to whom
to apply for redress. If he could not get a war
rant from one of them, he would make applica
| ton to another, and we know just enough about
the timber Of which Justices of the Peace are
generally, though not always, made here to
warrant US in saying that before he went the
rounds he would get his warrant, though the
cause of complaint might be ever so groundless.
There areother reasons to be urged against the
proposed change, but we have not time to al
lude to them at this time. We may perhaps ad-
vert to them hereafter.

For thousands Of years--far beyond the
dawn of history, vesuvius has bleched forth
fire and smoke. But population is becoming
more den Sc. Vesuvius would open up
field for enterprise. il the glowing fires with
in could be qusnced. Its sides could be
planted with vineyards. and thousands upon
thousands could there raise " happy homes"
So Vesuvius is to be extinguished, and Vul-
can and the Cyclop are to be forced to quit
their ancient workshop. The German jour
nails announce that company of English
capitalist have made an application TO the
King OF Naples for concession for the ex-
tinction of Vesuvius. The principal seat Of
the fire OF that volcano is situated several
thousands feet below the level Of the sea.
Cutting canal which would carry the wa
ter into the crater, the fire would be com
pletely extinguished. and the operation,
which would only cost two millions Of francs
would restore to cultivation land Of ten

appear. from the records, that there was an

II is shrewdly suspected, however, that the

As everything in relation 10 the extraction
Of gold and silver from their ores is read
with interest, at the present moment, we
offer the following process which recently
obtained for the inventor provisional pro
lection from the English Government. 1t is
valuable, beyond doubt
The ore is broken fine and passed through
a sise, after which chloride Of sodium (com-
mon salD, is added, and throughly incorpor-
ated with the ere the mixture il roasted
at dull heat, so as to avoid the volatliza-
iion of the precious metals The ore is next
ground with the admixture OF wood ash and
bolted fine. The mass is placed in the ANAL
gamator and water is added until il il re-
duced to a consistency suitable 10 cause the
mercury TO seperate into globules aud filter
through it, instead Of passing through in
body soda ash is also added to cleanse the
mercury and minute metallic particles Of all
earthly and greasey substances. Pieces Of
bar iron are added to facilitate the trituri-
tion. and decomposes any chloride of silver
that may have been formed during the pre-
vious operations, and sulphate Of iron TO de-
compose any chloride of gold. The ANAL
/ gam being obtained, the precious metals are
separated as usual.
