Negro Riot AT the Horticultural Gar
den-A Cavalry lieutenant and
Butcher Placed HOrs du Combat
LOfii's Opera Gets n Peep at Life In
the SOuth-EqualIty from a Pistol
orie Standpoint.
Nobody doubts the advancement of Sam
DO. He's getting up in the world fast. His
career in Nashville has been as resplendent
as that of rising race ever was under
similar circumstances-we believe, though
inst such circumstances have never before
been put down with the rest of the worlds
strange history, and the present age surely
has something interesting to hand down TO
posterity.
A most practical case of negro supremacy
came up Yesterday afternoon, in ten-pin
alley at the horticultural garden, in North
Nashville. A party of gentlemen, several
now playing at the Adelphi Theater, and
one a Lieutenant Of the fifth cavalry, were
enjoying themselves in various ways, when
barouche and buggy loaded with dandy
negroes drove up, and 4 general row en'
sued between them and the colored driver
of the hack which the members of the
opera troupe had engaged.
The clerk OF the establishment told
them that they must go outside to settle
their disputes, as he could allow no dis
turbance where the amusements were pro-
crossing To this one of the negroes,
striking the counter vigorously with, his
fist, declared that "no Cd id white
man should put him out" Hardly had the
words passed his lips, when the Lieutenant
brought around stout arm and the negro
struck the floor as If he had been shot.
The whole negro party at once rallied, and
a fierce riot ensued, in which the Lieuten-
ant was struck behind the ear with piece
of rock or brick, and butcher named
Warner received a rocky broadside in the
region of his philoprogenitiveness. None
of the whites were armed. The blacks
hourished revolvers and covered several OF
the whites with them, but did not shoot.
The Lieutenant started for his horse as
soon as possible, intending to gallop to
the barracks for a squad of soldiers, but
had scarcely set himself in the saddle when
he was struck between the shoulders, just
below the neck, by minnie from the en-
ragged negroes.
Here the row ended, and before the
officer returned to the scene of the difficulty,
the belligerents had all left the place and
the smoke of battle had cleared away.

BURG, Knoxville, Tenn.-Dedr Sirs.' Ac-
cording to promise, send you my opinion
of your burning fluid, mot oil,l formed
from actual experiment, as compared with
coal oil.
We had narrowly escaped explosion sew
eral times with the latter, owing to the in
tense heat generated; consequently we had
become afraid of using it. Hence l began
to experiment with view of inventing
burner that would diminish the danger.
My effort has resulted in what l believe to
be a Safety Burner. AT least my sanity
feels perfectly safe in its use.
Hearing friends in whom l had the ut
most confidence speak of your SO called oil,
/ resolved, on the condition that your agent
furnished me burner, TO test its illnmiS
mating and heating properties, as compared
with those of coal oil.
So far as my experiments have gone, |
have found your fluid TO give soft, bright
light, more comfortable to the eyes than
that Of coal oil, accompanied by much less
heat, and consequently by less danger. |
tried to explode il in a lamp, but failed. l
shall introduce it into my family for three
reasons: First, it is less injurious to the
eyes; second, it is less dangerous; and,
third, it is cheaper.

be diminished by less care in its mannfac-
ture, Yours, very respectfully,

Some years ago we were told that we
were making history. Even 80. And his
tory doth repeat itself in men and things
We are told in the inspired Book of the
prodigal who wasted his substance, and
after feeding awhile among swine, returned
to his fathers house--his own people. The
precedent is illustrated here in Tennessee.
Some Of our citizens we're seduced into
Abraham's promising bosom some time
ago. They forgot the example Of the Ro-
man daughter, who day after day went to
the cell Of her incarceraled father, doomed
10 die of starvation, aud there barred her
breast TO his furnishing lips and furnished
him nutriment, feeding her babe az home
Of lacteal otherwise husbanded.
The seductive influences of the false Pha-
roahs who invaded our Canaan of plenty
have passed, and their motives have be-
come transparent as a sunbeam. The home
Radicals who we're 30 eager to enter into
sacramental love feasts, and Join hands Of
fellowship with those who came from
Gods country" wearing the sneering lip
of the stranger, and extending the hand of
empty courtesy which was not recognized
at home, have penetrated their pretensions
at last They are disgusted. They have
sloughed of. They have drapped. They
have quit, absquatulated, slid, and like
good sinners are knocking at the door Of
their fathers house. The home politicians
have left the imported Radical party,
whose ruptured womb win hereafter bring
nothing but still-born abortions. The leave
ing off is not confined to the politicians.
At the meeting of the City Council on
Thursday night, Messrs. w. J. Cochran,
w. w. Woodmansee, ID. Brien, and T..
j. Yarbrough, resigned their positions
as Councilmen. This is significant. These
gentlemen were too Conservative for the
plunging, roofing Radicals Of the extreme
faction. They formed the leaven in the
loaf and now that they have left, theother
wing may ego in"
These gentlemen should not be treated
like Che iackals in the fable if they have
lost their peacock's feathers, We should
congratulate them on their brief strut, and
see that they have a welcome back TO the
native barn yard Really it is almost
enough to tempt us to kill the fatted calf
| but we believe we won't.

The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 2lst inst. says: "The loan market is
increasing in ease, and the large deposits
in our city banks accelerate the tendency
towards lower rates for money. Call loans
are still quoted at 6, but for special accom-
mediation on time coz is paid. Discounts
are fat, choice bills being scarce and
wanted at 7084. The flow of currency
from the West continues" The New York
Journal of Commerce says the amount of
surplus capital offering, is somewhat in ex-
cess of the present wants of borrowers, and
that call loans upon government securities
in large amounts are readily negotiated at
per cent. That paper says:
The market presents little animation in
any department Of mercantile business.
There appears to be no important specula-
tive movement in any description of mer-
chandise, and but little demand for legiti-
mate trade.
Our correspondents at Manchester,
Messrs. Du Fay & Co., have furnished us
with the data for compilation, showing
the shipments to the United States OF
British textile fabrics, for the first eleven
months in each of the last two years, as

The Murderer I'm Jail for Burglary.
II will be remembered that some time
since we published the facts of the killing
of a soldier named James Runnels, ut Ash
Barracks, under very aggravated circum-
stances. Without provocation whatever
Bonner dubbed his musket and battered
ont the other soldiers brains, which were
scattered over the frozen ground. The Of
fender, after perpetrating the fendish deed,
fed, and immediate pnrsnit and inquiry
was instituted as TO his whereabouts. No
bigger villain than many Others who have
disgraced the blue enough TO make the sky
blush, this murderer turns ent, or turns
in, or turns up to be a thief also. Not
in the least remorseful for the offense of
numbering his comrade, he went to
Kentucky. Beyond the influence of bar
racks, military, Metropolitans, Legisla
lures, etc, he turned himself loose, and
embarked in the stealing business, for
which his past practice seems TO have
eminently qualified him. In Harden
county, Kentucky, he broke into q house,
and walked mp Tartar. He was arrested.
q. s. Payne made oath on yesterday be-
fore Justices Brien and Cassety that the
aforesaid Lewis Bonner was in Jail IN
Elizabelhtown, Kentucky, on a charge OF
burglary. Upon this Information, Gov
ernor Brownlow has sent a requisltlon to
the Governor of Kentucky TO have Bonner
returned TO this State, to answer before the
courts for the murder with which he Is
charged.

INSURANCE.

Southern Insurance COHpany-Reli-
able and Responsible.
There is no subject which in business
point presents itself more practically and
tangibly than that of insurance. Many
who are now in fine circumstances, would
have been poor indeed, and in the words
of Wolsy asking little earth for "chari-
tvs sake" had it not been for the timely
precaution of securing an insurance policy,
and the prompt liquidation of the amount
il called for by responsible companies.
Among these we safely class the Southern
Insurance Company of Nashville. Since its
organization it has disbursed largely on
losses secured by its policies. There is
no safer method of securing ones family
against calamity or disaster, than a
small outlay in insurance. The South
ern Insurance Company has a char
tered capital of $500,000; guarantee and
premium notes secured by mortgage on
real estate, worth five times the amount,
$23S,761 So; cash loaned on short time,
drawing interest, secured by lien on real
estate $45, GAO; cash in bank, in office, and
in hands of agents $9,63S 81; personal
property belonging TO the company SlIo.
This company conducts its business upon
the mutual plan; had on the first day of
January, 1868, nearly two thousand mem.
bers. r. H. Thompson is President and
John r. Berry Secretary of this very relia-
BILE company. They are both prompt, Ell
ficient and energetic business men. Mr..
Berry is not only one of our best business
men, but is a gentleman of politeness, ur-
banity, and is well adapted to the position
he occupies. We cordially recommend the
Southern Insurance Company.
