Proposed Improvement OF the Capitol
Grounds.

The following petition wo' presented in
the House yesterday
We, the undersigned citzens, agree with
the Governor il his late message, as
regards the unimproyed condition of the
Capitol grounds, and would recommend
your Honorable Bodies to make an ap-
preparation aud begin the work at once.
Oar town is now crowded with laborers in
want Of work, and they would work for
low wages in order to keep from suffering
during the winter. You will, therefore,
cave much money which you would have
10 pay extra five or ten years hence 10 la.
borers, and benefit those that are now in
want.
Some Of tie honorable gentlemen may
object that the State is too much 10 debt,
but if they should wait until the debt Of
the State Is paid, the grounds will never be
improved.
Signed by over two hundred Of The
principal business men and tax PAYERS Of
Nashville.

l notice in to-day's UNION AND AMERICAN
an account Of The fatal accident which &C.
Cured on the Nashville & Northwestern
Railroad, few days since, which resulted
in the death of Mr.. Richardson, brakes
man, and wounding little boy.
The little boy alluded TO was the son Of
the gallant and lamented Col. Thomas
Alonzo Napier, who fell at Parker's Cross
Roads, on the 3lst day of December, 1862,
while fearlessly leading his regiment in a
desperate charge against the Ninth Wis
consin Artillery.
His little son wore the same name, and
was one Of the most promising and spright-
Iy little boys in the country. He was the
universal iavorite Of almost every one, on
account of his sprightliness and the many
heroic deeds Of his gallant father.
He and his mother were en- route TO Cam
den, Tennessee, 20 attend the burial Of a
relative, when the sad misfortune occurred
His right leg was terribly crushed, result
ing in HIS death five hours after the acci-
dent.
The community sympathiza with his
mother and relatives in their sad bereav-
ment Very respectfully,

Five Since Reeaptured.

On Monday morning last, at 10 o'clock,
seven negroes confined in the Jail at Clarks-
vile, made their escape They opened both
the inner and outer doors without breaking
the locks, and there are strong suspicious
that the locks were left open by the jailor.
Five of the number we're afterwards recap
tured. Capt. Jim Welsh, of the city po-
lice, while attempting to recapture one Of
them, was shot in the hand. He then shot
the negro in the leg and succeeded in cap
turing him. Capt. Welsh is highly ap-
plauded for his enegy and bravery in max
ing these arrests, and is spoken of as an
excellent officer.

4 Truthful Descrip ton.

Some of our citizens who were in the
habit Of attending church during the war
probably remember a military parson of
the rip-snorting, fire and birthstone class,
named Col. Granville Moody, who came
here in command of an Ohio regiment.
He used, when hard pressed by people
fond of his style of pulpit defamation, to
give these who went 10 hear him noisy ard
long-winded specimens of his unsurpassed
ability in that particular line. The Xenia
TorchligM gives The following highly COM
plimentary and very truthful description
Of this same Rev. Granville Moody: "He
may be supposed to have inherited the
Temperament Of an old-fashioned camp
meeting, and got it mixed up in his blood
with 4 modern torch-light procession.
Where lie il, there must be wind, ard
thunder, and volcanic erup.ions, and earth
quakea, and the ground torn up by the
roots"
