The other branches of our Bank, viz.
at Huntsville, Mobile, New York, Norfolk,
Tallahassee, Vicksburg, and Washington
we do not speak of specially, because
we have before given special mention Of
them, and our space here does not permit.
They are all in very healthy, and the
Washington branch in highly thriving
condition, as may be seen by reference to
our April report on another page.

VALUE OF TIME.

People often waste time because they dc
not know how to save it, or how to use it.
The day and the year are Of the same length
to US all but to look at what some contrive
to do in day or year, one would think they
had more time allowed them than other
people have, or that they knew how to live
without sleep. The secret is, that they
never waste any time; they do not pass
half an hour in doing nothing, because half
an hour is not an hour; and few half hours
put together almost make day.
There are very few people now in the
world who would wish you not to read and
write, but some there are who would
rather see you idling about, or stand
ing at the corner of the street, than reading
a book; and these people are sure to say
that you cannot find time to read a book.
They fancy that if you learn to like read
ing, you will soon dislike to work.
Ifyou spend your time we'll, you save
your character, you save your money, and
you save your health; you save all the COM
forts you wish to enjoy you save your wife
and your little children from starvation,
and cold, and beggary; aud if you should
fall sick, you will find you have saved your
friends, because you have saved your good
character.
Ifyoulook aroundyo and see fine houses,
farms, beautiful carriages and horses, shops
filed with valuable goods-all these things
have been procured by money but money
itself was procured by labor, directed by
knowledge. Whoever knows best what to
do and how to do it, will in most cases get
the most wealth.
The great difference between honest men
and knayes is not in the things they desire,
but in the means they take to obtain them.
There is the same difference between wise
men and fools; and many man is dishon,
est because he is foolish, or rather no man
who is wicked can be called wise.
Now, education has for its chief objects
the teaching of men how to attain prosperity
or at least independence, by honest means
and those who object to education are com.
monty found to object to mems indepenG'
ence, and to doubt the honesty of evey man
who is free to act as he chooses.

ToBACco.-The man who eats tooacco
has no right to complain Of his poverty. 1t
is his own fault. If he spentssbs bread
what he wastes for the vile weed he would
never be hungry. A family of two grown
persons use two barrels of -four year,
$50. Ten cents day is the smallest sum
that will keep two persons in tobacco,
which amounts in a year to $50 so. A
cigar smoker burns up say four cigars per
day, at five cents each-twenty cents q
day. In yeaf this is $73 in ten years,
$3.50, which at interest for that time would
make nearly $1,000. So the cigar smoker
will have burnt up and blown away through
his nose a nice farm Of forty acres of land
at Government price, yoke Of oxen, two
mules, nice cottage, and neat, substan-
tial barn

a deposit of 68 millions of dollars. If this
money were to be equally distributed in
that State, it would give every person about
$40.
If every person among. the colored peo-
pie of the United States were to deposit in
this bank, in the same proportion as the
people Of Massachusetts do in theirs. our
deposits would reach one hundred and SIC
ty millions Of dollars. This is a vast
sum. But suppose every one Of the colored
people Of the South were to deposit only
one dollar in the Bank-that would make
four millions of dollars. There is no good
reason why the deposits Of this bank should
not reach ten millions within the next five
years Let every one who reads this, de-
termine to practice economy; carefully
save small sums, deposit every Saturday
night, and the result will soon be Such de-
posts as we have mentioned in the banks
Of New York and Massachusetts,
AN 1NDUCEMENT TO DEPOSIT.-lt should
be an inducement to all persons now de-
posting with US to bring in others. What
they have already in will yield greater
interest to them just as the deposit grows
larger. Thus it will cost no more to run
this Bank with it's branches when the de-
posit may have reached fee mallioRdoUarS,
than now when it is only about sln hundred
and fifty thousand. But the interest from
five million dollars in United States bon Is
at six per cent. would be $500, 900, while
from our present fund it is say, $40, 900.
While the latter only fairly pays our ex-
penses, the former would, besides, yield a
princely amount to be returned to depos-
itors in dividends.

tsnsienI Rennions.

The suggestions from the press in regard
to suitable public entertainments for the
summer have ELECTED response from the
right quarter, and we are happy to an
nounce that the Nashville Orchestral Union,
under the lead of Prof Geo. NJ. Taylor,
propose to introduce in Nashville during
the coming summer, a class of entertain
ments which have been given in other cities
with great success, and have met with I'M
bounded public approval under the name
of Promenade Concerts.
1t is proposed to rent for the summer
season, the large music hall OF the Masonic
Temple have it appropriately decorated
with fountain, shrubbery, flowers, etc, and
thrown open to the subscribers one night
in every week. The entertainment to con-
sist principally of first class instrumental
music from a full Orchestra-shOrt inter
walls after every piece performed, for prom
enading, conversation, refreshments, etc.
The small room adjoining the music hall
to be rented TO a responsible party and to
be used for the sale Of ice cream, soda,
strawberries and other light refreshments.
In order that the assemblage may be
perfectly free from everything objectionable
it is thought best not to sell any tickets
promiscuously, but to issue them only to
gentlemen and families who may become
subscribers for the season. 1t Is hoped that
all who take any pleasure in music, or who
desire to favor anything which promotes
pleasant social intercourse among citizens,
and tends to render our city more agreea-
bic and attractive as a place of residence,
will give the society their prompt and cor
dial support. ...
There will be Twelve entertainments
during the season, aRd careful estimate
of the probable expenses has decided the
society TO open a subscription at the iolioW'
ing very Low rates: |.r..I g.
Season Ticket admitting gentleman only o.
| Family Tickets admitting a Gentleman
1 and one or two Ladies. 10
/ No money will be collected until suth'
cient amount is subscribed TO guarantee

The EdgeReId incorporation Matter
ReDIy Of Commissioner sheridan.


Much anxiety is felt by the gOodly
people Of Edgefeld as well as by the people
Of Nashville and persons who live in re-
mote parts of the State, as to the termina-
ton Of this affair, and knowing this we
take pleasure in placing the following be
fore the public. As viii be seen it is the
reply Of Mr.. Commissioner Sheridan to an
application made by Squire Garfield on
behalf OF the people Of the above named
place, and as its speaks for itself we do not
fink any comment necessary.
We would state, however, in THIS con-
pection that we visited Edgeiield yester-
day. ana that we found them patiently, yet
eagerly awaiting Che following document
and that we believe from all We could
learn a great majority Of them will be
unanimous for holding the election, nOtwith
standing the announced reply. 1t Is as
follows: - 49,.

10 the request OF yourself and Others re
| ouesting me 10 order an election Of Alder
men for the purpose of perieciing the in
| corporation Of Edgeield, i would res
pectfully state my views OF the laws a.
follows
The Code provides for the Incorporation
/ of towns BY the proper action of at least
one hundred persons who may desire TO
| avail themselves of the benefits resulting
therefrom. When these steps are taken 1t
becomes the duty of the Sheriff 10 hold an
election for Aldermen, that an organization
may he made. (By an act of the Legisla-
ture these duties devolve upon the Com
missioner OF Registration). This duty Is
imposed by section 1865 Of the Code, and
the same section fixes the day for the same,
viz, the first Saturday in January, "a
Section 1873 provides that the franchise,
resulting from preliminary vote Of the
people, shall not be lost by failure from
snv cause 10 hold the electisn'on that day
and that upon two days notice il may be
held afterwards. Ii would seem to me
that day certain has been fixed by the
law that no power is given to order ths
election before the specified time, and that
the object Of this is that IL might be gene
rally understood at what lime in the year
these interpretations could he perfected
thus hy uniformity throughout the State
calling the attention Of all Citizens inter
ested more particularly to the proposed
action. With this view of the law shall
deem il ny duty to call the election at th'
time mentioned ia the Code.

The city Park.

To the Editors of the Union and Dispatch
The proper locality for city park is at
last discovered, and one which embraces
all of the requisites, named excepted. 1t
lies Just north of the city and along the
line of the corporation, and is accessible
by three Of our principal streets-College,
Market and Front. 1t is the largest single
body of land, equally near the city; COM
prising some fifty or sixty acres. 1t con-
tains several beautiful elevations, some of
which are ornamented by magnificent
forest trees also very picturesque valley
in which is Il handsome lake, which fur
nishes excellent fishing in summer and
splendid skating in winter. The lake Is
not overlooked by the river in time Of high
water; is supplied by branch running
from one of the largest and best springs in
the country; the water never varies more
than eight or ten inches during the entire
season, and is, therefore, easily managed
and susceptible of great ornamentation.
A number Of persons have spoken Of it as
being more beautiful and suitable than
any other place near the city. The North
Nashville street railroad runs very near
the land, and il is proposed if purchased
for a park to be Immediately extended
there. Ii can be bought for much less than
some Of the adjoining property, indeed, one
half the price. Quite a number of citizens
have been out too look at the premises, and
all pronounce it the place for the contem'
plated city park ETnHMk a
