Conference with Gov. senser.

We learn that Mr.. F. ]. Bridges, of
Marshall county, was in the city on Friday
evening laat on business, and being an old
friend Of Gov. Senter, he called upon his
Excellency in behalf of his county, stating
to the Governor that he came as a friend
and not as a delegate of the people of his
county, He was cordially received, and
had pleasant interview with him in re-
gard to martial law and the militia sent 10
his county. We understand Mr.. Bridges
made an earnest appeal 10 the Governor,
to rescind the order declaring martial law
in Marshall county, and returned to his
home entertaining the highest hopes that
the order would be Eescinded or greatly
modified, 30 far as Marshall county ia con-
CerDed, in which we hope he will not be
disappointed.

The Eject of the Militia.

Within the past few days, two of the
largest merchants in Giles county have
been in the city-one having in his pos
session $4,000 and the other $4,000, their
profits in business for the fall and winter
season. This amount of money they had in
tended for spring purchases, but since the
militia have been sent to that county, both
have changed their notions, and instead of
purchasing goods have invested the cash
on hand in United States bonds. This is
the result Of the militia law. 1t not only
occasions such shocking outrages as that
mentioned in paragraph elsewhere, but it
prostrates business causes the country
merchant to'feel that there is no protection
to property, while the Wholesale trade of
this city will be greatly damaged thereby.
Poor Tennessee she seems to be doomed
to misfortune. "Let us have peace"

After the adjournment of the House yes
terday morning, some member, who wanted
to have little fun, moved that the ire
pressible BOwles be called to the chair, 70.
the purpose OF delivering his farewell
address. The motion was unanimously
carried, and Bowles, with slow and solemn
tread, moved TO the Speakers stand.
Everybody expected something rich, but
everybody was disappointed, for ii appears
that Bowles was not in one of his talking
ways. With a very sober and solemn face,
and statesmsn-like attitude, he raised his
hands and said "He hoped the great God
above would bless US for all our good
deeds, and forgive us for all our misdeeds."
With this outburst of eloquence, and moth
ing more, the hero Of Oyerton county re-
tired with his usual gusto

Changed his NOie.

10 the House of Representatives on
Wednesday last, Mr.. Woodward of Rob.
ertson county, offered bill ordering the
Governor to revoke and set aside all pro-
elamations declaring martial law in any Of
the counties Of the State. The bill was
tabled by call of the House, and in the
list Of ayes on the motion 10 lay on the
table, was the name of Representative
Ryder, of Shelby county. That gentleman
assures he came into the House
when the vote was being taken, and voted
as he did at the suggestion Of some mem.
Der without knowing the proposition be-
fore the House. On the next day, by leave
he had his pane recorded differently on
the journal, and Gays he regrets very much
that his name went before the people ofthe
State 10 such an unenviable position.

New advertisements.

Yesterday evening we we're delighted, IN
looking through the mammoth wholesale
house of Messrs. Evans, Fife, Porter & Co,
on the Public Square, to see how they
have anticipated and supplied the wants
of the wholesale trade in laying In their
New Spring Stock, which is net only am
pie and superb, but far surprising any
thing in their line we have seen in our city
since the war. Their supply of Foreign,
Domestic, Staple and Fancy Dry Goods is
large, rich and varied, embracing every
style and quality, selected with special
reference to the Southern trade, with
which this firm has long been familiar;
while their invoice of Ready-Made Cloth
ing cannot be surpassed in any respect in
this or any other market. They have
bestowed great attention and taste in their
selections Of Notions etc, which will
challenge the admiration of purchasers
from every point. Aside from the known
character and great popularity of this old
house, the immense stock now on hand,
and being received, will draw customers
from every town and hamlet throughout
the country. 1t is needless for US to COM
mend the energy and enterprise of this
reliable and liberal firm. Their patrons
will be here from all points.
The general public will read with pleas
ure the card of Gen. ]. A. Battle & Co.,
who have opened the City Hotel, and who
merit, and we trust will receive a liberal
share of public patronage.

About half past IL o'clock last night
fire broke out in the old Kirkman build
ing corner Of Cedar street and the Square.
The fire seems TO have originated in the
rear portion of the second story, but the
entire building was 30 completely Tiled
with smoke when the alarm was given,
that il was almost impossible to locate the
FIRE.
The building is three stories in height,
and is nearly Quilted. On the ground floor
was the auction house of Israel & Co., a
cigar-store kept by Appel & Brother, and
a fruit store by Mr.. Cliff, all of which
were materially damaged by water, and a
little by fire. Mr.. Cliff occupied one of
the rooms up stairs, and only escaped with
the clothing on his back. When he awoke,
the room was full of smoke, and he was
nearly stifed. He lost his furniture, bed
ding, clothing, etc. An old gentleman
and his wife occupied another room and
lost everything.
The building is very considerably dam
aged, and the stock of Israel & Co., rem
dered nearly worthless from water. We
understand they were insured.
In the rear of the building was the So
loon of Bob Patterson, which was consid.
erably damaged by water. His fine mirrors
and fixtures were removed, and in the re.
moval many articles were broken.
Mr.. Patterson was insured in the agency
Of Farnsworth, Clark & Co. for So, 500, and
Appel & Bros. were insured for 81 200 in
the Etna Insurance Company.
We understand that Mr.. Ezer was also
insured.

having been injured on the N. 81 c. Rail-

The Robertson Association Lectures.
The ninth lecture of the course will be
delivered this evening at the usual hour
at Masonic Temple, by Ex.-Goy. Henry s.
Foote, and this announcement is sufficient
guarantee of a rich literary repast, and
will doubtless attract full audience. The
eminent reputation of the lecturer in pub
lie affairs, his extensive erudilioD, and his
elocutionary gifts continue to invest this
occasion with more than ordinary interests.
The SUBJECTS one which the distinguish
ed gentleman is peculiarly fitted to present
in mastery style. As we learn, it is 10
be review of the life, character, and times
of Titus Pomponius Atticus-one of the
nOblest and most justly renowned per-
sonages in the most fourishing era in To-
man history-one, for whom, in private
excellence and public purity, the historian
might well challenge the title of "the no.
blest Roman Of them all" He was the
contemporary of Cicero, of Cesar, of Pom
pey, of Brutus and long line of such, and
though less ambitious, ia abe amplitude
of his learning, in the comprehensiveness
of his craftsmanship, and in the unselfsh-
ness of his patriotism, the peer if not the
superior of either. The drift of the lecture
will, perhaps, include discriminating
parallel Of this great character with some
of the Statesmen Of modern times, with
applications of the lesson of his life to the
present iunctnre of affairs in this country
1t will be an effort worthy Of the theme,
and we expect to see the auditorium of the
Temple filled at an early hour.
The next lecture will be delivered by
George R. Fairbanks, A. NJ, of the Uni
versity of the South, Professor of History,
and Lecturer on American History. Mex
in the course comes DIR. j. B. Ferguson
and ''last but not least" the Hon. John c.
Burch, of Nashville.
