Meeting Of those Interested In the tx :
tension Of the southern Telegraph
lines 10 this City.
In response TO the invitation of Gen.
Kirby Smith, quite number Of the solid
men of Nashville assembled at the rooms
81 the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
evening, TO discuss the Propriety of extend
ing the Southern telegraph lines from the
Kentucky line to this city. Gen. Smith
sci forth the advantages which would ac-
crue to the citizens Of Nashville By the
extension of this line. He said wherever
this line had been brought into competition
with other lines, that the tariff of prices
had been reduced fifty per cent. He said
any merchant doing an ordinary business
wonld in the year realize the amount of
his subscription in the amount saved by
this reduction Of the prices now paid for
telegraphing. Before this line was opened
to Louisville. the price of telegraphing
from Louisville to New York was two doll
lars; now the price is only one dollar. He
thought $4,000 would build and equip
the line from here TO the State line, and
that If the amount is subscribed he can
have the line in operation in thirty days.
On motion Of Col. VIM. H. Gordon the
following gentlemen were appointed
committee to wait upon the citizens of
Nashville to procure subscription Thos.

SECOND BOARD.

Our mail advices from New York to the
afternoon of the 23d inst. report that the
demand for money is moderately active,
both from speculative borrowers and for
purposes of legitimate business, but the
supply of capital has somewhat increased,
and call loans are readily obtained upon
good collaterals at per cent. The Post
says: 'The discount demand is small and
choice bills pass at 7910, bat there is less
freedom in consequence of the failures re-
Gently announced and the sensation reports
of others yet to come The movements of
currency to the South and West are moi
very considerable"
The New York Journal Of Commerce of
the 23d inst. says of the drygoods trade:
There has been more animation in the
trade since our last, and portion of the
time the demand has been as active a. at
any period Of the season. The presence Of
a number Of country buyers and the receipt
of considerable orders have given to few
Of the largest houses an opportunity not
only to clear of a portion Of their old
stock, but TO job many fresh purchases.
One large firm, 1t is said, has sold as many
goods in three days as during any similar
period since the house was formed. Of
course this is an exceptional case, but the
history Of the week fully vindicates our
judgment as to the probability of a revival
of the trade before the final closing in for
the winters prediction which was sueered
at by some responding critics. The effect
upon prices has been favorable. Some de-
sirable goods which had been crowded be-
low the average Of the market have re-
coFerd portion Of the concession, and all
classes Of standard fabrics are more firmly
held. There is still large overstoek ei
undesirable woolens, but in most other
fabrics the market is in 3 good position Tor
the season. Standard domestiss are hrn-
ly held and in moderate supply, the
export trade having taken OF the surplus.
Fancy cottons are freely offered, but good

ADMIEAL SESnEEs IN MURFREEsBoRo.-
We learn that the citizens Of Murfreesboro
were perfectly delighted with the lecture
Of Admiral Semmes, on Friday night last.
During his stay at Murfreesboro the Ad-
miral visited the Soule Female College
and other institutions Of learning and in
terest. Al the Soule College he made
neat and felicitous little speech, expressive
Of his qualification at the aourishing con-
diiion Of learning in Tennessee and at
seeing the many evidences Of physical re-
cuperation that met him everywhere
throughout the State. The fearless Admi-
raj made many friends during his recent
soiourn in our city, and his talents and ur-
banity will secure the same result wherever
he NAV go.

RAILROAD REcETvERs-The Senate
bill introduced by Senator Echel, requir-
ing the Receivers on all railroads to make
out a monthly statement Of receipts and
disbursements, and requiring every Re-
ceiver 10 give bond in the sum of $50, 900
to insure faithful performance of these
duties, was eminently proper at this time.
The wisdom Of the legislative enactment
appointing Receivers for those railroads
which have failed to pay the interest due
on theiE bonds, has not been verified by the
actual results. The Comptroller in his
last report says: THE records of this of
fee, however, do not show that Receivers
are more successful than the regular Of
fcers of the railroad in collecting and pay
ing into the Treasury less so, for
from the roads in the hands Of Receivers,
hardly dollar has been received during
the past fiscal year"
The bill has passed the Senate, and we
hope it may pass the House and become a
Law of the land.

FIRnG or A PysToL.-A pistol shot was

which created a slight sensation for the

that the pistol was cred by Mr. William
Denike, who lives on the premises, in cir
cumstances not the least culpable. He had
a loaded pistol in his store; a stranger
came in, picked itup, and was handling it
very carelessly. Mr.. Denike, fearing that
it would be discharged, took it from the
strangers hands, and fred it off through
the ceiling. He was taken up, and will
have to have hearing for firing a pistol
within the corporate limits.

DoGs.-We venture to say that in no
city to its size are there more dogs running
loose about the streets and alleys than in
ours. There are Newfoundlands, bull dogs,
terriers, gray hounds, poodles, mastifIs,
and every conceivable specimen of the
canine crew. They are barking, growing,
startling, fighting, trotting and limping in
alley, street and thoroughfare. In some
localities dogs to the right of us, dogs to
the left of us, and dogs in front Of us are
necessarily barking Like old Otway in
his Venice Preserved, we can say that we
are "a friend 10 dogs, for they are honest
creatures; they ne'er betray their masters,
nor fawn on those they love not" vet we
are not in favor of two much dog.

where they lodged no one knew. They
had patrisrchal boards and it was OBJ

ahead. They took fancy TO Mr.. Scovilps

them, II is thought, is HI + Goat, and the
Others no doubt belong TO the same family.
