EXTENSION or THE NASHVILLE AND
DECATUR RAILRoAD.-To the remarkable
zeal and energy displayed by the railroad
companies of the South in reconstructing
bridges and culverss, repairing the roads
and restocking them with cars and engines,
the South owes much in the way of hasten
ing recuperation that, with fair crops, in
few years will gladden., strengthen and
encourage. At the close of the war, the
Nashville and Decatur railroad was left
without rolling stock, and without build
ings OF material to repair damages. Super
intendent J. b. Van Dyne, with the
cooperation of the directors, APP
piled himself with all the vigor that
science in engineering and energy in di-
recting could lend, and to-day the road
ranks as among the best conducted in the
South. All this work has been conducted
on the most economical scale, too, and was
effected az a cost to the company of only 464
per cent. of the gross earnings. Lying
through the richest section of Middle Ten
nessee and Northern Alabama, there can
be no doubt that, in another year, under
like good management, this road will rank
among the most profitable in the country.
The distance from Decatur to Mont
gomery is one hundred and eighty-seven
miles. Arrangements already perfected,
promise an early resumption of the work,
which the war arrested. There was graded,
at the time of the breaking out of hostii
ties, twenty miles of the extension, which
is in running order. Completed to Mont
gomery, we have an air line to Montgomery,
Mobile and Pensacola"

REGULATIoNsFoRFR EEDMES's SCHOOLS.
The Commissioner Of the Freedman's
Bureau, has just issued the following in
structions to his subordinates:
For the more complete organization Of
schools for Refugees and Freedmen, il is
ordered that the Sub Assistant Commission
ers and Agents Of this Bureau, in each sub
district, will, IN connection with their du-
ties, visit the schools now in operation in
their several fields, inducing teachers to
report promptly on the blanks furnished
by the General Superintendent of schools
for this Bureau. They will also observe
the various plans on which these schools
are conducted, suggest improvements, or
noting defects They will gather Informal
ton as to places now destitute of schools,
the number of youth and children therein
between the ages of six and twenty one
years, the encouragements and the obstacles
existing 10 new schools being opened, if
means are furnished. They will also as
certain what more can be done for the inn
prOvement in knowledge of the adult
freedmen-all of which will be reported to
the Assistant Commissioner for the State
Superintendent of schools.
Care should be taken by the officers and
agents of the Bureau, in the performance
OF the above duties, not to interfere with
the province of the local superintendents
or teachers of the several educational as
sociations. But it is essential that both
work together in mutual consultation and
sympathy.

STRANGE.-Friday foreuoon gentle
man, whose name we withhold, belonging,
it is said, 70 South Nashville, called at the
Stacey House, registered his name, and
asked for room. Nothing further was
known about him until Yesterday morning.
when some of his friends called at the hotel
and inquired if he was in. They were
shown up to his room, where they found
the occupant in a state bordering on stnpe-
faction. A physician was called in, who
prescribed the necessary remedies. In a
short time the sick man was supported
down stairs, placedin carriage and driven
away. IL has been asserted that he had
taken laudanam, or some other poisonous
substance, for the purpose Of putting an
end to his existence; while in other quar-
tiers it is stated that whisky was the only
poison imIibed With our limited in
formation on the snbieet, we can't speak by

THE CASE OF Gro. +. PRATT.-The re-
port current on the streets Yesterday that
Pratt had been sent to the penitentiary
during the day, was incorrect He is still
in the county Jail. Gen. Jim Brownlow,
the Governors son, visited the prisoner yes
terday and had a long talk with him. Up
to last evening Governor BrownloW had
not taken any action in the case. His
feeble state Of health probably deferred
him from giving that Close attention 10 the
evidence brought 10 bear in the trial, that
he otherwise would During the day,
Emma Collins, the complainant in the rape
case, visited the Governors Office, and used
all her powers of persuasion and entreaty
10 have Executive clemency extended to
Pratt. II is probable that by tomorrow
the Governor will have arrived at some de-
termination IN the premises In the mean
time, the general impression is that Pratt
will be released-certainly that he ought
10 be.

REYNoLD's PATENT PUMP-SOMETHIN
NEW AND VALUABLE FOR THE SOUTHERN
STATES. One ofthe largest business trans
actions Of the past week, was the organi-
cation of a company composed Of some of
our most enterprising business men, to
thoroughly Introduce these wonderful pumps
throughout the States of North and South
Carolina, Florida, Kentucky and Tennes-
see. w. c. Walker, Esq, of this city,
member of the organization, representing
the company, will soon revisit the scenes
with which he became familiar while in
the c. S. A., in Gen. VIM. B. Bates di
vision, 60 introduce them in the above
States. We are glad to see "our bous" en-
gazing in any business transactions for the
benefit of the South Wherever they NAV
60 we invoke hearty welcome from all
friends of Southern enterprise. We can
not better describe the operations of this
valuable invention, than by copying the
following from the Bowling Green (KyD
Gazette,
REYNOLDS PATENT PUNP.-The most
remarkable improvement IN force pumps
that have ever been introduced in our town,
or county, is now on exhibition at T. W.
2aird's new stove and tin store. A few of
It's wonderful features will be sufficient, we
think, 10 induce all those interested in rais-
ing water, to come and witness its wonder
ful operations. II is a powerful double
acting force pump, and weighs only about
thirty pounds Il is when in action, sub
merged, working without air, sucking,
packing, printing or Piston-rod, and with
few feet Of hose pipe attached, will force
water to the top Of any dwelling, thus
n aking a complete engine in case of fire.
The most remarkable feature is that no
water csn remain in the pipe-when no; in
motion-to freeze in winter, OF become
stale in summer; this alone must bring them
into general use in every State IN the South.
The greatest variety and the best quality
of ouston-made shoes, consisting Of Ladies
and Misses glove kid Congress CATERS and
balaoral shoes, and side lace, can be had
