| JEROME PARK SUMNER MEErING.-The
New York Tribune of the LIST instant says
of the opening day Of the American Jockey
Clubs meeting About one o'clock F fifth
avenue commenced to look lively. and num-
bers of teams Of every description began
vending their way to the track. Some OF
the Summer dresses Of the ladies were very
pretty, loose and airy, in fact in some in
| stances they looked little too cool. The
short half before the races was spent
in various ways by the different occupants of
the track, the ladies occupying the few
spare moments in flirting and criticising
each others dresses, very interesting and
Intellectual amusement, while the sterner
sex congregated in the betting ring, where a
lively competition was going on touching who
should start first favorite for the first race,
Nemesis or Lancaster. Both Of these ami
mails were backed by their respective friends
for large sums Of money, and each held in
turn slight advance over the other. The
first event, which came off about3 o'clock,
was dash of a mile and quarter for all
ages. There were six starters for this race
Nemesis, Lancaster, Raquette, Lizzy
Rogers "a chestnut. by brother to Frank
Allen. Jubal and Local. The betting was
about 100 to 20 against both Lancaster and
Nemesis, while long odds were ootainable
against each of the others. Of the outside
division Lizzie Rogers was the most fancied,
and Is to was taken about her to consid-
cradle amount. After couple Of false
starts, Babaock got the lot away pretty we'll
together. Jubal and the Rogers FLY rushing
to the front, while Lancaster brought up
the rear, steadily ridden by Haywood. Jubal
ran very well up during the whole race, and
was joined by Nemesis and Lancaster at the
turn into the homestretch, when the tug Of
war began. Haywood found his horse Civ
ing, and had to whip good deal, to which |
the old horse answered game, but the daugh-
ter of Eclipse proved too swift for him,
md she won remarkable fast race by a |
neck and shoulders. Time, 2:l21. This is
me of the fastest mile and a quarter races

ALBERT PIKE, in the Memphis Appeal,
saws of the Chase movement: We have
heard that Catholic sailors, tired of fish and
eggs, if they had eggs to eat. during Lent,
had habit of fastening ham to line. let.
ting it over the ships side into the sea, and
drawing it up again, repeating the formula,
" Down Cannon, up Salmon" after which
they could eat it without needing dissolution
or doing penance. No other process, we
think, can make Democrat out Of Salmon
P. Chase.

DEMOCRATIC LOVE FOR 81
HAND GENERALS.
SECOND

The Copperhead attempts to stea
Republican thunder are on par with
their other confidence" operations
Blair's nomination Is consistent Sc
queuce to the nomination of Mcclellan
in 1864. Each of these maneuveres is
a ciumsily devised decoy duck employed
to deceive honest loyalists into the sup
port of the enemies of the Republic.
Rebel raiders disguised in blue coats
stolen from dead soldiers, and waving
the national flag, was dodge of a like
character. Little Mac being sGuelched
by the popular vote four years ago,
evaporated off to Europe. The new
York Herald hit him parting kick by
saying
If G. 3. NJ, who was last seen on
board of a Cunard steamer, waving an
eternal farewell 10 an unerateful coun-
try, will return to bis afflicted friends,
all will be forgotten and forgiven, and
20 questions asked.
The Herald will be given an oppor-
tunity to vent its derision upon Blair,
next November, in like fashion. He is
nothing better than bit of army old
clothes-a Confederate officer orna-
mented with U. S. staff buttons, is a
similar figure for Blair is as savage a
rerolutionist now as Yancey was in
1860. His Broahead letter is simply
an ebulition of rank treason. Wise is
right when he styles him a reroIutiouis,
He admits that Congressional Recon-
struction is a fact accomplished and
that Republican Senate would render
a peaceful remedy impossible. But,
he urges, with a Democratic President
at the head of the armies, " negro
domination F." could be broken down at |
the South and ~ a white mans Gov.
eminent established in its place.
Democracy accepts this fellows brass
buttons for the cover which they afford |
TO such bold treason as this. Little
Mac would have sold the Union cause
for a mess of Democratic pettage
Blair would reestablish slavery and
plantation tyrrany at the point of the
bayonet. Blair interits his revolution
AIRY proclivisies. Tney run in the blood
Of his fathers. When johnson got
through with his drunken harangue on
the day of his Inauguration as Vice
President, Montgomery Blair, Senior,
The father of the Democratic nominee
for the Vice Presidency, took him to
his house, sympathized with him and
Won him over to the conservative iu-
;ipiency of Ny Policy" while his
nerves were yet unsteady. Second $
land Generals of the sorehead stripe
rho would take up their sword for the |
purpose Of making the South now, that S

'erior in political power and conse- a
uence to the North, are as ttly leagu ed C

City Hotel.

Business men on and near the Square
regret to see this long established and well
known hotel closed as a place Of public
entertainment. 1t was understood a few
days since that it would probably be re-
opened at an early day under the direction
of Gen. Joel A. Battle, gentleman whose
practical knowledge of good living and ox-
tensive acquaintance among the people
would admirably fit him for popular and
successful landlord. The General has not
yet fully determined to move TO town and
try his hand at keeping hotel, but has
the matter in consideration. Should he
conclude to do SO, We hope he may end
the enterprise reasonably pleasant aud
abundantly profitable.

Our Z acknowledgements.

We desire to express to our friends, who
include all the readers Of the UNION AND
AMERICAN, our gratitude for their earnest
and continued support, and for the hearty
activity they have shown in extending our
circulation. At no time have we had
greater cause to thank the reading public
ofTennessee for their generous patronage.
For ourselves we are pleased to be able
to say that we still publish the lowest
priced paper in the State; that we ezPend
as much money for news as any other, and
that the cheapness Of our paper does not
and never shall indicate inferiority. Our
columns contain the latest news from all
paris of the earth where the telegraph ex
tends, and our local, editorial and CONNER
cial departments contain a complete sum-
mary of the social, political and business
history of the times. During the ensuing
wear we shall strive TO render the UNION
AND AMERICAN still more useful and
acceptable.

EDGEFIELD.

HueHFs AcADEsIY.-This is one Of the
very best institutions Of learning in the
State, and is receiving that patronage
which it deserves. The location is q con-
venient distance from the city, and is
easy of access, but at Che same time, is
sufficiently removed from town hustle to
make it better adapted for the student who
has an eye sometimes for other attractions
besides his books. The various depart
menis of the school are in charge Of efic:-
ent professors, and parents can rest assured
that their children viii receive every at
tention. The present classes have made
rapid progress in mathematics and the
languages, and to be convinced OF the e1-
cellence of the teachers, 1t is only neces-
gary to be present during the examination
exercises, and see the practical workings oil
the school. II opens sgain on next Mon
day, Sd of January.
ELECTION Next SATURDAY.-h be-
hooves every one who is armed with GER
ti6cate, to cast his vote in the election for
Aldermen next Saturday. There are
many persons living in Nashville who
own property in Edgefeld, and are there
fore entitled to vote in said election. All
SUCH should be on hand that day. They
are as much interested in the selection OF
| GOOD officers as those who reside in the
place. If bad men should get into power
in the new city, it will only be short time
before the taxes are just as onerous rs IN
| Nashville. We therefore say turn out, and
vote for your best man.
GENERALIZATION PARTY. Quite
number of friends assembled yesterday
evening at the residence of Watson M.
Cooke Esq in Edge6eld, to congratulate
the happy couple, ]. W. McFerrin and
lady, upon their escape from the late dread
full steamboat disaster on the Ohio, and to
blend their hearts in kind wishes and 30.
cial cheer. A band, made up of the asso-
ciates Of Mr.. McFerrin, gave the party s
charming serenade, after which the entire
company spent most delightful evening
in all that makes crowd enjoy such ar
occasion.
VERY ILL.-We regret to hear that Jno
r. Cowan, Esq, magistrate of Nortt
Edgefeld, and one of the early settlers o
that locality, is lying dangerously ill, and
there is little hope of his recovery. -,

Mai. Golf yesterday received The follows
ing mole from the Superintendent Of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, in
relation 10 the location Of the proposed
fair grounds;
MAI. A. F. GoFF-Dedr Sir: If the
proposed fair grounds are located on your
farm near Glencliffe, on the line of this
road, we will transport all articles for ex-
hibition at half regular rates, all paSsen-
gers from Nashville at Eve cents each way,
and the officers of this company will take
one Thousand dollars Of stock in the enter
prise. Very truly,
JoHE w. THOMAS, Sup't.
This company had previously obligated
itself to build a switch to carry passengers
directly to the grounds. These generous
proposals cannot pass unheeded, either by
the community or those having in charge
the location of the fair grounds. In this
connection we may state that Maj. Golf
has received subscriptions sufficient, with
his Owl, Il. pay for the grounds aud leave
about nine thousand dollars TO be applied
to improvements. We have not learned
what the subscriptions to the competing
places are, but imagine their respective
friends will have to be very industrious to
bring up as favorable showing.
