The LAST Cause.-The success Of DR..
Bernhsrdt, the celebrated practical opti
clan and oculist, since his arrival in Nash.
Vile has been unparalleled. He has been
a public benefactor in deed and in truth,
for he has given the greatest relief to hun
dreds who have long been suffering FROM
defective vision. The DR.. thoroughly an
derstands all that pertains to the eyesight,
and also to his profession, while his cele-
brated crystal glass spectacles are unri-
vailed by any heretofore invented. Thurs
day, May Both, will close his soiourn Ia
Nashville, and those who wish to consult
him, or to procure pair Of his valuable
spectacles should call early of that day in
order to prevent disappointment.

Reception of Hon. Emerson Etheridge.


At five o'clock Yesterday evening, the
Hon. Emerson Etheridge arrived at the
Louisville depot and was received by a
committee Of distinguished citizens, com
posed Of ex Gov. Neill s. Brown, Judge
Whitworth, Gen. Smiley, and Hon. Mayor
Brown. A fine band preceded the carriage
through the streets, playing martial airs.
The sides Of the streetB and the windows
were thronged with citizens, eager to see
the conquerIng hero.
On arrival at the Stacey House, he was
introduced to the thousands who had as
sembed in front of the hotel, by Mayor
Brown. Mr.. Etheridge thanked the audi
ence for their tiattering reception, but did
not regard it as personal compliment, but
because he was 10 be their standard-bearer
in the great conflict before them. Freedom
and equal rights to all the citizens of the
State, without regard TO color, was his
motto To demand more would be az mean
as our oppressors; to accept less, would
prove us unworthy of the freedom We now
have. He said he felt sure that victory
would be shouted from every hilltop in
our State in August. Waving a kind adieu
till to-day, he retired amid the shouts and
huzzahs of the multitude

RIVER NEWS

The river was is rising slowly, with four
feet water on Harpeth Shoals.
The Talisman leaves to-day at 4 P. M.
for Cairo.
The Havana, from Cincinnati is ex-
pected.
The Ohio is falling again at Cincinnati

The st. Louis Democrat of the 23d says
River rising continued wet spells Of
short duration. A rapid rise reported at
ST. Paul. A swell in all the upper rivers.
Business continues fair. When we hear of
boat-One Of the Northern line-on her
upward trip, reaching Dubuque with five
hundred tons OF freight, and four hundred
and twenty-five passengers; when boats
leave this port for the Missouri crowded
with passengers when boats are leaving
for Nicksburg and Arkansas with their
guards in the water, not to mention the
fine trips of Memphis packets, and the
heavy loads OF steamers arriving from the
North, we cannot make the statement that
business is remarkably dull, although there
is considerable talk to that effect
The Mississippi continues to fall at

SneciaI 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 60 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 o. our preht 10 the poor OF
October LIST, 1857, (six mOnths,) which amount
will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash
vile. We hope that the amateur billiard play
ers and the public in general will appreciate the
cause and sustain it.

The Board Of Publication Of the Cum

successful operation in this city for several
years before the war. The wreck Of matter

arose in the Assembly on the question of

PERsoNAL.-Rev. A. II. Walters
has been visiting among his friends
in Lancaster, and it was a pleasure
for many to meet him. He has been
appointed to raise funds for erecting
at Milwaukee, a home for the sick
and disabled seamen, for which work
no man is better suited. Mr. Wal,
ters was one of the few army chaps
lains who fell not from grace nor
took up with any of the vices-tor
which reasons the soldiers, to man,
regarded him as q true christian and
gentleman. 1t will not be forgotten
that his regiment, the Goth, while
stationed at Montgomery, Alabama,
were generally attacked with disease
there being symptoms of scrofula
among other complaints. Mr.. Wal
tiers hurriedly came home and begged
several tons of vegetables, chiefly from
the people of Grant, where he was
known to all as one whose calls were
worthy of more than common re-
spect. The railroads and boat gave
him nearly free transportation for
his immense supplies and in . brief
time he appeared before his sickly
regiment with an abundance of what
would both cure disease and support
life. We shall always be glad to
meet Elder Walters on account Of
what he did during the war, as well
as for his general continuous useful
ness during the twenty years we
have known him.

IF our friends in the SoutA viii
heartily and cneerfully join with as ia
this future career, | for one would
welcome them back as our equals, but
not as our superiors, [applauscl and
lend them helping hand; but if, like
spoiled children they will cling to the
dead past, and shut their eyes to the
coming future, would only call their
attention to that wave Of emigration
thai has swept over our land from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, [applausel
and must soon turn back and fow
South. They may oppose, but their
opposition will be as vain as il was to
try and stop the army of the Tonnes
see, (Which swept the length and
breadth oftheir land. The next wave
Of Northern invasion will not desc
late their land, but fructify AID re-
generate it,"

LETTER From WADE HAMPTON
General Wade Hampton has written
letter upon Reconstruction, ii
which are the following opinions up,
on the equal suffrage Of the South
"0n late public occasion ex-
pressed my perfect willingness to see
impartial suffrage established at the
South, and | believe this opinion is
entertained not only by majority
OF the Intelligent and rejecting
whites, but also Of the same class
among the blacks. / deprccate uni,
versal suffrage, not only on general
principals, but especially in the case
before US, because | deny the right of
Congress to prescribe the rules of cit.
izensbip in the state. The Supreme
Court has decided that negro is not
a citizen OF the United States, and
Congress cannot reverse the decision
Of an act. The States, however,
are competent to confer citizenship
on negro. We have recognized the
freedom o. the blacks, and have plac>
ed this fact beyond ali doubt, denial
or recall. Let us acknowledge in
the same frank manner, and as fully,
their political rights. For myself |
confess that | am perfectly willing-to
see a constitution adopted by our
state comforting the elective franchise
on the negro on precisely the same
terms that it is to be exercised by
the white man, guarding against abuse
of the privilege by establishing a
slight educational and properly quail.

CURIOUS ELEcrEoN FIoUREs.-At

for Governor were Fairchild and 10,

Grant County Fairchild, 2,577; Ho.
bart, 1871, making majority for
Fairohild of |, 446.
In 1867, the election is between
Fairohlld and Tallmsdge, the result
as follows: Fsirchild, 3,O95; Tall
madge, 1,649-majority for Fairchild,
1,4l6, same as in 1865.
Again, the democrats and republi-
cans each gain in the county this
year over 1865, just 5lS votes-show
ing that 1,036 more votes were poled
in the county this year than were
polled in 1865.
In 1864 the democratic vote was
1860; republican vote, 3,247-repub-
lican majority, 1857. Loss of each
party f.bout the Same since 1864. Blu t
for the difficulties about home oandi-
dates, tho republican majority in the
county would have been below 1900
this year Platteville and Boscobel

$50 above their usual footing. Grant

a.On Thursday of next week oc
ours the anniversary of the extinct,
ion of Slavery in Maryland. The
colored people Of that State desire to
celebrate the event, and some of them
who have been regularly organized
as military companies have respect
fully asked from the State authors
ties the privilege Of joining in this
celebration, under the protection OF
the regular State police, The Com
missioners of Police have promptly
and emphatically refused such per-
mission Maryland, therefore, pre-
sents TO an admiring world the spec
tacle of a State that has by its own
laws emancipated a fourth Of its citi~
zens, and yet denies them the poor
privilege of concentrating the day
of their deliverance. There is but
one step further for these Commits
sioners and that is to return these
audacious negroes to the slave>pens
whence they came; and who doubts
that this would be done ii the ability
to perform were equal to the desire
to do?
