! yers from Franklin.
When HARPER made his raid on the Jail
at that place he asked this young man if he
desired to make his escape. He replied
| that he did not-that lac was innocent of the
charges against him and was going to stand
his ground lctthe results be what they might.
Though innocent of the charge there is not
one person in a thousand but what would
nave availed themselves of the opportunity
Of escape.
THE Nashville Duly Union, published
| by BECKETT, BRowN, HANKS & Co., amp
which was started in 1862, on the ruins of
the UNION AND AMERICAN, ceased its pub
| LEGATION for want of patronage. The latter
journal is 1ourishing, having resumed pub
LEGATION since the conclusion of the war
Memphis Avalanche.
The Union was not founded on the ruins
of the UNION AND AMERICAN. 1t was the
first paper established in this city after the
Confederate evacuation, and the total sus-
pension of all the papers published in the
city at that date 1t was printed and pub
published from the materials and office of
the Nashville Patriot which were seized for
that purpose. Those materials were subse-
quently libelled and sold by the Government
being the only press in this city, and, so
far as we know, in the State, subjected to
this process.
THE KESNALLY MURDERERs.-The three
men belonging to the 10th Regulars who
are confined in the city Jail, charged with
the murder of officer KENNALLY, Of the
night police, made application to General
THOMAS, yesterday, to be taken out of the
custody of the civil authorities and tried at
once by a special court-martial The APP
plication was returned with the following
significant and important endorsement:
Notwithstanding these men are soldiers
they are, nevertheless, citizens of the Uni
ted States and responsible to the civil law,
and they will have to answer for the ohense
to the civil courts, inasmuch as it is not my
intention to interfere in their behalf"
CRIMINAL COURT.-There was consider
able excitement Yesterday in this court, du-
ring the examination of the witnesses in the
case of the State rs HYMAN, GREEN and
DTLsoN, charged with the murder of By
ROM, the toll gate keeper. So far the bur
den of the testimony is clearly in favor Of
the prosecution. Several of the witnesses
recognized the prisoner as being the man
who committed the murder. There are to
be several more Witnesses examined this
morning, when the argument will commence,
which will consume not only to-day, but to-
morrow. Some of the ablest lawyers in the
city are counsel on both sides.
CoIN CoMING.-It is announced from
Washington that the Treasury Department
commenced on Tuesday to issue the new five
cent coin pieces. We trust they will shortly
reach this region of country. We are tired
of the dirty, ragged fractional currency
halves and quarters and dimes, and shoppers
and buyers would all prefer carrying wallet
of coins, rather than handle the vile trash
we are now compelled to use. We saw a
man the other day chew up a wad Of them
thinking it was leaf tobacco. Let us have
some small change that wont wear out, and
wear fellows eyes out trying to see how
much it is worth.
