How to reach the Fair from the city, II
will be the care Of the railroad to demon.

own teams. From the city to Brighton the
routes offered are varied to suit every taste,
The tugs On the river will land passengers at
Bridgeport, one mile distant. This route does
not promise much, but may after all be well
patronized- Certainly the tugs will run if
business Offers.
The railroad track Of the st. Louis, Alton &
Chicago Railroad will be the main artery of
communication, and BY means Of half hour
trains carry all that may desire, landing them
directly at the north entrance to the Fair
Grounds.
As to d1iyes in private or public vehicles,
there is an even more varied opportunity for
selection, and no one need to ride in a throuS-

THEATRE.9T establishment has been
doing a thriving business lately We re-
joice at the fact, inasmuch as the Northern
ers have been so much in the habit of attrib-
uting to themselves ell the merits due to the
cultivation of literature, fine arts and the
drama. They have said, time and again,
that without tie endorsement of Boston or
New York, it would be impossible for an act
or or artist to be appreciated South of Ma
son and Dixon's line; but by our liberal pa
tronage Of the Theatre during even these
hard times, we have proven that the South
is independent, even in that respect, of its
once self-constituted patron.
During the past week We have had the
pleasure of witnessing the re-entree, Of Miss
KATIE EsTELLE, alady, who by her careful
and correct delineations of dramatic charac-
ter has already won hosts of friends amongst
our citizens. Her rendition of Macbeth,
without being absolutely great, was the very
best we have witnessed for many day. On
Wednesday night, Tom Taylor's Comedy of
Sill Voters Run Dep, was produced and ex-
cellently acted. lis perfect representation
convinced many of the patrons of Mr.. kee-
ble's Theatre that his company was fully Ca
pable of all that could be expected from
them. The Golden F1RlT was enacted last
evening, and in it We had the opportunity OF
seeing the best piece of acting we ever re-
member We allnde 10 the performance OF
"Jemmy Twiteher," by Mr.. EVERETT. We
ION
and several others in the part, but until last
night, we never knew what the character
really was. Mr.. EvERETT's representation OF
the exceedingly difficult role was absolutely
perfect, and we are glad to be able to con-
graduate him upon his success.
Tonight, we are TO have "Lucretia Borgia
and Robert McCaire."

To the Editor. of the City Papers.

SRs:I desire through yonr journals to
acknowledge the receipt of one car load OF
coal--part of one thousand bushels donated
by Col. 81. C.. RICHARDSON, of Franklin coun-
ty, Tenn.,-for the benefit of the families of
soldiers who are destitute, in and about
Nashville
Too much cannot be said in commentator
of such praisewortby and patriotic generosity,
on the part of Col. RICHARDSON.
This notice would have been given before
now, but as there was no person especially 10
whom the coal was to be delivered, suppose
each waited for the other to come forward and
take upon himself the distribution. My atten-
ton was called to the fact that no distribu-
zion was being made, and upon inquiry of the
freight agent of the n. & G. R. R., (Which
road brings the coal here free of charge,) I
was informed that no contribution could take
place unless some person would accept the
coal and give orders for its distribution.
at once told him that would undertake the
distribution of the coal, and take this occa-
sion to return to Col. RICHARDSON and the N.
& C. r. R. Co. my thanks, and the thanks of
the whole community, for the generous dona-
tion and shipment of the same.
therefore announce that will give orders
to such as are entitled to coal, upon applica-
ton by the Justice of the Peace drawing
money for the applicants, at my Office at the
Court House. JAMES WENTWORTH. /.

To the Citizens of Davidson and tint
Surroun ding Country.

Surrounding Country.
The Hospital for the sick and wounded sol
diers in the service of the Confederate States,
which has been established in the city of
Nashville, is now open for the reception of
patients, several hundred of whom have ar
rived, and are now under treatment. Those
having the Institution in charge are advised
that the number of sick soldiers to be cared
for here will be greatly increased within the
next three or four days, thus greatly increas-
ing the pressing necessity for additional
contributions of hospitnl stores, food, &c.
The members of the Ladies' Tennessee Hos
pital Association, therefore, deem i: their
duty to make these facts known to the peo-
pie of Davidson and the surrounding country,
and ask them to the exercise of renewed eff
fort and generosity in behalf of these afflicted
defenders of our homes. Besides the bedding,
sheeting, towels and other articles necessarily
in the line of hospital furniture, an immense
amount of the right kind of food is absolutely
required for the large number of sick men,
For this, to great extent, we must depend
upon the patriotic liberality of our citizens,
and earnestly ask for donations of butter,
eggs, milk, vegetables, fowls, etc. Assured
that this appeal is not made in vain, we res
pectfully call upon persons able to make
such contributions to send them as soon as
possible to the Hospital, North Market street,
hitherto known as the Douglas Building
Contributors aeed entertain no fear but what
the articles they give will be received and
properly appropriated. @

A SUGGESTION FOR COTroN PLANTERs.-An
excellent practical suggestion has been made,
which we would commend to the considera
tion of Southern planters. 1t is that in the
event the blockade is not broken before the
coming Spring. the planters shall not plant
a single Cotton seed, but employ their entire
labor and land in raising provisions and cat
tie, and spinning, weaving, &c. The aceu-
mutation of two crops of Cotton in the South
ern States will reduce the price of Cotton to
Eve cents, and VIII give the manufacturer
such an advantage in stocks as will paralyze
the market for many years.
