HILL AND Irs MYSTERIES
TFysting Place for ROues and their
ParamOurS-HOw the Fair and Fraii
are T.Ost-SOmething for the Police.

Trysting Place for ROues and their
ParamOurS-HOw the Fair and Frail
are I.Osf-SOmething for the Police.
Capitol Hill, were il the miniature Eden
it was designed to be when the first stone
was laid for the magnificent edifice we call
our State House, would hardly be place of
more general resort than it noE is, rough
and broken as its sloping surface has be-
come, and grim and ghostly as its deserted
Notifications appear by the pale moonlight
Of a soft summer night. There Is some
thing so great and grand about the lofty
structure which surmounts it, that we never
tire Of gazing upon its matchless architec
tural beauty, and feeling of awe steals
over one when looking upon its massive
columns that loom like protecting giants
on every side.
On a pleasant night the balustrades
are invariably filled with promenaders,
young and old of both sexes, who have
sought release from close rooms or dull
companions, to while away an hour in the
fresh air that plays about in such sweet
zephyrs upon the round hills brow. The
majority of the class who frequent this ro-
mantle locality, as might naturally be sup
posed, are young lovers, and, as matter OF
course, all their time is not spent In look
ing at the gloomy city below, with Its
myriad bright lamps relieving the solemn
shade of night, or at the big State House,
either Oh, no soft tales are whispered
in honeyed words to willing ears; all the
hopes and anticipations of future happiness
find expression, and many bright we'd
ding day is fixed right there.
Now, we have no disposition to break In
upon any of those sweet communions, or
keep anybody away from Capitol Hill, but
strange stories are being whispered OF the
place and some of the promenaders. Not
alIthere is innocence and purity any more
than at any other resort, Black sheep
have crept into the flock, and
many a sad tale of sorrow and
shame may we'll be traced to that beautiful
locality for its origin. 1t is to this pl ace
the accomplished roue leads his victim,
and here many a frail one is lost forever,
and the happiness of many home blighted
In its thousand trysting places he finds ann
pie opportunity for the exercise OF his dev-
ilish arts, and no warning voice is ever
there to call away his victim. 1t is to be
regretted that place to which so many OF
the respectable portion of our citizens have
been accustomed to resort so much, has
been made that of some of the worst char
acters that disgrace Nashville society but
so it is, and Vigilant police who can take
upon themselves unpleasant duties, is the
only remedy in reach. If examples could
be made of few who richly deserve the
censure of the good, old Capitol Hill might
well be the resort of all respectable people,
but its present reputation is anything but
one calculated to inspire the visitor with
its advantages as pleasant retreat from
the world and its cares.

THE REGULARS AND THE MELIsH.-The
State authorities are making strenuous eff
forts for a reconciliation between the regu-
lar soldiers and the melish, but they might
as well try to harmonic the hosts of heaven
and those of old Nick. The regulars feel
that the presence of the militia where
United States troops are stationed is an in
suit too deep for quiet acceptation, and
they won't mix in any shape. The Scared
veterans of Gen. Duncan refuse to salute
militia shoulder-straps, and regular Off
GERS will not recognize the rank of their
wonld-be peers. Indeed there is at present
more danger of a collision between the reg
ulars and the militia, than between citizens
maddened by politics.

SDecIaH Notice.

ON THE OPENING OF A BILLIARD
Room it is generally the custom, as every
one knows, to have several champions present to
entertain the public FOR FEW HOURS; but on
account of so much suffering among our people.
we thought proper to give the orphans of this
city and poor of Chattanooga that benefit which
We have done for the last two weeks. And
again, as it is sometimes the custom Of giving
premiums, such as watches, etc, and having
proof Of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts to
help the needy, we have therefore concluded to
give ten per cent. of our profit to the poor of
Nashville, from the lst day Of April, 1857, up to
October LIST, 1867, tslx mOnths,) which amount
Vile. We hope that the amateur billiard play
ers and the public in general will appreciate the
cause and sustain it.
