tie poison was contained IN tubes, IN quantities Of
about two ounces. Among other difficulties one was

to attach to each end Of the ~harpoon, near the blade,
one end ola strong copper wire, the other end Of

CARNDEN.-We can conceive of no higher compli-
ment to Planter than that which paid to Col.
JoHN McGAvoCK, of Williamson, by the Annual
County Fair, lately held at Franklin. One of the
handsome cups or prizes distributed by the COM
missoners was awarded for the best Farming Es-
tate in the county, and of which Col. MCGAvoCK is
the deserving recipient.
Camden the premium place-is about one mile
from Franklin, the cOunty-town of Williamson. 1t
consists of one thousand acres handsomely and du-
rably fenced at all points with rock walls and plank
Its after the fashion OF the
old English Farmsits crops are inferior to none that
our State has this year producedits fruitorchards
are abundant in their yeld-its meadows are thick
" carpeted with rich and valuable grasses from
the variety of feed and the unfahng springs which
so numerously gush out upon the hlFsldes' It's
stock of all kinds it appears are IN most eXcel!ent
coulition-and the ample groves of lofty wood
which embrace so many acres Of the tract, throw
their shades over fields of perennial bluegrass.
Indeed the entire place and its excellent condition
bear indispHtabe evidence that the premium has
been rightfully awarded, and cordially congrat-
ulate its fortunate proprietor and occupant upon
this handsome compliment which his neighbOrs
who know him best have so handsomely paid
him.
Carnden has its name from the ancestral estate
of the NcGAvoCKs in Great Britain, and we cannot
but admire the highly becoming pride with which
the owner is making equal in all desirable respects
to its old baronical namesake.

The RACES Notwithstanding yester-
day was rather a cool and clustering day. the at
tendance at the Course was quite as large, if not
larger than on any other day The first race was
colt stake. two years old. for one mile There were
but two Of the entries that to the scratch.
DOUGLAS d TURNER'S ch. c. by imp. Albion and W.
II. JoHNsoN's ch. c. Bulletin by Lexington. The
Albion was decidedly the favorte at about three to
one. This resulted from the known disposition of
Bulletin to sulk. But at the tap of the drum they
both got of well together. The Albion had the in
side and going around the first turn, took the lead
by a length and thus they went without any change
Of positon until they got well into the home stretch
when there telling brush made for the stand.
Both came down to their work in their best stvle.
Just before getting to the score, Bulletin stretched
his neck out to its fullest length ard got his nose
under the string two OF three feet ahead of the
Albion. This was decidedly the most exciting race
that we have had this week As a matter of course
the sympathy Of the outsiders was rather against
the knowing ores, and when Bulletin came IN win
her, they made the welkin ring. We have never
Pretter race from the head of the stretch to
the sand. The heat was made in $50
The SECOND RACE-There were three contestants
for the purse in the second race, two ne heats.
Capt MooRE's CHI f. Mollic Jackson by Yandal;
Col. CNmELs b. c. by Glencoe and CHAs. LEWIS
ch. f. Ion Keller, by Wagner. Mollic was the IA
vorite against the field at four to one with more
hackers than takers at that odds. The result usti
fed the confidence of her friends. Ion had the in
side, Mollie next. and Campbell on the outside.
When the racing began Campbell took the lead, Ion
next. and Mollie dropped just in the rear. At the
half mile post Mollie changed places with Ion. and
thus they went, Ion getting considerably behind.

Tapped Campbell and run with him until near the
head Of the stretch when she gave him the goby
and came on home winning the neat by two lengths

Mollic near by, and lon behind \ little beyond the

Tue merchants MEETING-THE LOUISVILLE AND
NASHVILLE RAIEo4D.-In the preparation of the
report Of the proceedings of the Merchants Meeting,
the speakers were incorrectly reported in two or
three instances, which it is but just to them should
be corrected.
Mr.. HuGH McCREA Is reported to have said, in
reference to the refusal to permit the stock owned
by the State in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
to be voted upon, that the Judge-a lawyer by the
name of SPEED 1cboa argument, has refused to re-
ceiven the vote when he said: Zone of the Judges
Mr.. SPEED, after an argument by Mr.. Nancy, ruled
the vote ont without consultation with his as
sociates"
In the report Of the remarks of Mr.. X. J. MoRRIs.
be is reported to have said A Louisville merchant
had shipped freights through Nashville further
South at zoe. per 100 lbs. but had to paw 25c per
100 lbs to Nashville, when he said. "a Louisville
Merchant then present had informed him thai
he had shipped from Louisville freight for
points beyond Nashville at 27c per 100 lbs
for the distance between Louisville and Nash
vile, but had been required TO pay 45c per 100 lbs
on freight going to Nashville and no further1
We have received the following note from GEO
Nancy, Esq in correction of his remarks:
To The Editors Of NashUiae Union and American
and Banner: | regret TO find my remarks before
meeting Of the Nashville Merchants with respect TO
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, misappre-
hended by the Reporter for your papers. A press
OF engagements prevents my making so full an ex-
PLANTATION as wish Your reporters represent me
as saying
In regard to discriminating Mr.. Nancy said it |
was useless appealing to the honor of the Louisville
mef They were going TO make much money |
out OF the road they could, and the only remedy
Of Nashville was protection under the laws"
This Is more personal TO individuals than was my |
expression. Without accurate memory OF my |
words, my idea that railroads were the sub
Jects of the laws creating them. and II to these
Creating laws shippers must look for redress of
grievances, and not to hOHOrS Of people. If the
road in question made determinations volative of
the rights Of any parties interested appeal to
laws more effcaciOus than any
other means. The merchants here advs-
ed and believed that they were, under the charter
OF the road, entitled to ship at the minimum charges,
but IN fact the road was shipping for others at less
charges than for them The right of this action on
the part Of the road could be tested by any Nash
Vile shipper offering to the road for his shipments
the smallest price charged others for the arti-
eles and refusing TO pay more. Let the Courts of
the country decide whether, under the charter and
amendments, the road compel the payment of
more from such Nashville shipper, than is eXacted
irom any other shippers. BY making public the
above explanations you viii Oblige me.
Respectfully, GEO. Nancy.
