We are indebted to the courtesy of friend for the
use of two Glasgow papers, the &c Morning Journal -
and the Glasgow Herald" both of the date of the l4th
November. As usual, the topic, par excellence is the
war in America TO that every other seems to yield
in interest and Importance.
Both rather lean to the Confederate side. The Morn.
ing Journal indeed thinks that "the proposal of media
ton in America which has issued frem the French
ernment merits in opinion the favourable consider
alton Of the great powers to which it is addressed
1t then goes to argue tie question to the effect of
armistice upon the parties to the struggle and con-
tends that it would change their relative position
confer any greater benefits upon the South than it
would upon the North 1t adds There appears to be
little weight whatever in the objections Of the
Times, which resolve themselves indeed, into mere
tauns at France that without any reasonable foun
dalton. With the unemployed and starving opera
tVes OF our manufacturing districts increasing at the
rate of 10000 week. We are not in position to tell
our French nehbors that they need cotton more than
and it betrays, indeed, Rppant and senseless in
difference to the dreadful and accommodating suferings
of our working classes to fout at any proposition which
oilers reasonable hope of exercising pacific influence
in America"
The same topic is also the FIRST item referred to TN
der the editorial head of the Glasgow He, ad which
paper however expresses opinion while its extracts
is natural all from Northern papers, such as the
Washington Star, the Washington Republican, etc,
etc.
From the journal" we learn that Messrs. JONES
QUIaeIN, OF Liverpool, will shortly launch steamer
of $50 tons burden, built of steel plates only threesx
teenths of inch in thickness The Liverpool Journal
OF Commerce states that she is intended for peculiar
trade, and that she will steam twenty knots hour.
The peculiar trade is understood to the running
OF the blockade. We shouldn't be surprised to this
vessel dashing up our river some of these days.

The Treasury Department. Nv a r,cepl

The Treasury Department, by receut
regulation ALLOTTED to loyal retail mer-
chants and dealers, doing business in the
counties Of Davidson, Smith, Wilson,
Rutherford, Cheatham, Sumner, Rob-
ertson, Williamson and Mac n, per-
mits not exceeding S20O6Os per month,
in the aggregate, to bring goods to their
respective counties. The allotment is
based upon the census Of 1860, and al
lows goods amounting to Sl50 per capita
each month TO be brought in, The regu-
lation does not include supplies pur-
chased at other points for family use,
but has reference 10 dealers only. So
soon asst was known that Secretary East,
President Of the Board Of Trade at this
point, had received his Commission aud
Instructions from the Revenue De-
partmeht the rush of traders TO his of
fee was very lively and exciting one.
Although but limited amount Of goods
was permitted to each applicant, the
President of the Board, on adding up the
amounts of the various permits at the
close Of the second day, found, TO his
surprise, that the whole allotment of
S2S0608 had been taken up. A large
number Of dealers applied for permits
the following morning, and, very nat
urally, retired with elongated faces, par
ticularly those who had bought goods
months ago, on the faith of old permits,
and had them checked by subsequent
orders, in Cincinnati and Louisville.
After losing the use Of their capital for
months, they again found that the new
regulations brought them no relief
The situation of these dealers demands
the consideration of tho department
at Washington. They purchased
goods on the faith Of what they
supposed to be valid permits; and they
were so at the time. Now, is II not I'M
fair and unjust TO let these men suffer
Unless special relief be afforded in these
cases, many Of them will lose heavily by
the damage of goods, etc. all will lose
more or less.
In the opinion Of those who are thor
oughly acquainted with the wants of this
community, the allowance is altogether
too mesger, and should he increased con-
siderSbly. If the people are put on so
short rstions, the consequence will be
that goods will be sold at starvation
prices We do not wish to see the city
overstocked with goods, but we want TO
see the trade confined TO legitimate
dealers, and competition enough to bring
prices down TO reasonable figure. At
present we are told that suffers are SELL
ing large quantity of goods to citizens,
thereby not only underselling resident
dealers few cents, but defrauding the
Treasury out Of the tax paid by ordinary
merchants. Let us have justice, liber-
Atty, and fair play.

The Anniversary OF AmerIcan Hu-
dependence.
q TDao

Ene Anniversary OF American Hu-
dependence.
NASHVILLE, June 3, 1868.
Ei.tor o. tie MasluHs Union:
We would respectfully suggest TO the
City and Military Authorities, and TO the
citizens Of Nashville, tho propriety Of
commencing preparations Immediately
for an appropriate celebration in this
city Of tho Anniversary of American
Independence. In crisis like the pres
emf, when the the Nation is struggling
with giant despotism, which seeks to
overthrow the government instituted by
the Revolutionary Fathers, IL bchooves
us all to refresh our remembrance o, the
glorious Past, and TO renew our love Of
country by drsughts from the hallowed
sources of patriotic inspiration. Let us,
therefore, prepare for such a celebration
Of the 4th of July as shall be worthy of
the occasion, and of the illustrious heroes
and ssges from whom we inherited our
slime honored institutions"
CITIZENS.
Most cordially do we unite with our
correspondent in his suggestion. Never
letit be said that the 4th day of July,
in the year eighteen hundred and sixty
three, passed without proper recognition
here. If there be q people anywhere
within the limits Of the Model Repub-
lie, who ought to hail the Birth Day of
American Liberty, with extraordinary
demonstrations Of gratitude and venera-
tion it is the people of Nashville. Let
the "notes of preparation" soon be heard.
TIE SEVEN SIsTERs-BENEFIr or MISS
LOFTY HoUoH. The popular play of the
"Seven Sisters" will be repeated to-
Dight, and every night this week, at the
New Theatre. We have never known
such a run of success on I" the boards"
in Nashville, as has attended this pro-
duction 1t is surely not to be ascAbed
to it's literary merits, for il has none
whatever. The originator, having an eye
for effect has made of il, handsome
piece Of Mosaic; and Civ his dranatis
pe,Sonae the advantage Of unrestrained
license of posture and speech, SO as
to avail themselves Of whatever may
please the eye, amuse, or fascinate, or
arouse the sense of the ridiculous. Cn3
may witness its representation repeated
ly and not grow weary, for that which
touches the mind lightly, and like the
brief transit of a beautifully yarieg ated
panorama, is calculated rather to relieve
than Cypress.
Much of the success of the piece is
due to the natural, pleasing, and viva
cious acting of Miss Lofty HOugh.
Whatever she does, is done with spirit
and effect, in an easy off-hand style,
without pretension, and with charming
naivete. No wonder the New Workers.
were at her call for hundred nights.
She is irresistible. She draws you to
her feet letters and makes you her slave
all unconcious Of the art by which it is
done. Her adjuncts here are of much
aid-they heighten the cOlors or soften
the shades of the picture but do not
diminish her influence or power.
1t lis announced that she is TO take a
benefit tomorrow night. OF course all
the town will try TO "scrouge in" The
little temple will not hold them. So
those who would be sure, had better get
their seats to- day.

The Board of Claims continues to
meet daily at the Capitol. The amount
Of business transacted by it is very
large. The numerous claims presented
are taken up separately, the testimony
heard, Thoroughly sifted, aud recorded.
By this process, whilst handed JUS
tice is melted out TO the claimant, the
interests of the Government are properly
protected. The result will be vast re-
duclion in the aggregate amount of the
claims, and a corresponding saving to
the United States Treasury, taking it
for granted that it is the intention
of the Federal authorities to pay all the
claims thus Rdjudicated. Theloyalty or
disloyalty Of the claimant is not consid-
cred by the Board That is matter
for those higher in authority TO take
cogniEance Of
II was a fortunate thing that Gen.
Rosecrans adopted this method Of in
vestigatiOn. II has relieved him Of a
source of infinite annoyance, and placed
the matter before those who have am
pie time 20 examine all claims here
where the witnesses eau be questioned
face to face with the Board aud the
claimant, and precludes the engineering
process by which unjust claims are often
palmed or upon the Government Il
would be well for the commanders Of
ether Departments to take a lesson from
the practical experience Of the comman-
der of this.
