THE COLOREp TENNEssEEAN.

We found upon our editorial. table this
morning little stranger of newspaper,
printed IN Nashville, Tenn, bearing the
above name, and edited by colored men, for
the interest and elevation of the colored race.
Happy thought, Mr.. Tennesseean. Accept an
invitation to the throne of grace with Mr..
Black Republican, on the first Thursday in
June next, in solemn prayer to Almighty
God, asking Heavens choicest blessings
upon our new President, our country, and
for the elevation of our race. 1t fills our
hearts with Joy to think that the Freedman,
once . slave, but now free and can exchange
thoughts one with another, through the col
umns of their own organ. We hope that
our old friends, Anderson Cheatam, Wade
Hickman, Charles Bassett, Rev. Randsom
Harris, Peter Harris, James Hendrick,
Daniel Watkins, Rev. Peter Lowery, and
many Others whose names we have forgot
ten are supporters of that noble organ, the
pride of the Nashville boy. Mr.. Editor of
the Tennesseean-ma great success attend
your cause.
We would to God that every Southern
State would start colOred organ, and all
advocate one course and get subscribers for
each other. Gentlemen, We are your we'll
wishers in this glorious cause.

well attended by all classes of people of

cially the part assigned to Miss Jennie
James, who is Il good singer and a fine natu-
raj actress. Several of the tableaux were
very appropriate. Much taste was displayed
in the dress of the performers, especially in
that Of Miss Davis, one Of the lady singers
on the occasion. The entire absence of the
