Educational.

From the July number of the Ohio Edu-
cational Monthly, we clip the following in
regard TO school affairs in this State
School affairs are in very unsettled
condition, and whether the school system
is to sink or swim, is difficult 10 decide.
The enemies of the system are ferceIy de-
nOuncing its administration, and school
officers are almost Unfortunately charged
with the misuse, squandering and even
stealing Of school money. To cap
the climax, the more radical candi-
date for Governor, Col. Stokes, vehemently
attacks the county superintendent az ex-
pensive and useless, and urges the abolition
of the Office; and this, too, when every in
telligent educator knows that supervision
is the life Of every school system in the
South. Strike down this agency, and the
free school system in Tennessee dies
it its cradle, except in the cities and larger
towns. There may be abuses and mistakes
needing correction, but all friends of free
schools should zealously protect every
vital feature of the system. 1t looks, at
this distance, as though the bottom had
fallen out of things and we are not sur
prised that the Tennessee Department
is missing again this month. When the
storm is past, we hope this department may
find smoother and more regular sailing"

Sama Hail Storm.

If those Of our citizens who believe The
present cool spell the result Of big hail
storm somewhere near the city could have
witnessed the other day the tremendous
shower of hail stones which visited Darby
township, in Ohio, they would certainly
have given up all hope Of any more July
or August. A gentleman who was at the
scene of the storm says the hail fell in less
than an hour to depth on level OF eight
inches. In drifts it measured two feet
deep, and on the following day large guam
titles of ice still remained unmelted. The
hail being of irregular shape (though by
no means Of extraordinary size), cut the
limbs and bodies of trees, especially fruit
trees, in most fearful manner, and the
amount of damage in this respect cannot
be estimated within a year. Wheat rye
and corn were cut TO pieces and beat into
the ground, utterly destroying the former
and almost as completely running the lat
ter. The face of the country looks more
thoroughly blighted than it does late in
autumn after severe and repeated frO5ts.

Military Arrival.

Some surprise and comment was ellciten
by the sudden and unheralded arrival last
evening of Federal military force in this
city by the Louisville train. Upon ln-
quiry we learn that the force was portion
of three companies of the 18th Infantry,
regulars-that it has been consolidated
with the 45tb, previously stationed at this
place. Gen. Lowell is the commander
and will make Nashville his headquarters
Two companies of the regiment are ieil 10
Louisville, one company sent to Chatta'
noogs and another to Humboldt, IN this
State. Why troops are being distributed
in Tennessee at this juncture is not under
stood. Has Stakes procured their presence
to control the election2 or does Gran'
desire to show the power of his bayonets al
the polls on the 5lh Of August? art
questions freely canvassed. Can Gen
Lowell or any one else give US any inior
nation upon the subject?

The Jackson Mills.

Those who have never visited the Jack
son Mills, erected by our enterprising
citizen, John ]. Mccain, can have no idea
of the extent Of business ia and around
the establishment. We happened to be in
the neighbOrhood the other day, and it
gave us pleasure TO notice what one such
establishment can do in the way Of en-
livening the city in a business point Of
view. Wagons containing wheat and corn
We're being unloaded by one set of hands,
while others were engaged in filling mp
drays and express wagons with sacks and
barrels of four. Inside of the building
there wac the same general stir, and the
workmen employed seemed to understand
their business. Throughout the store the
business was conducted with system, and
every man apparently had his proper
place.
The mill Is one of the most extensive in
the Southern country, and erected with all
the modern improvements. Since the
opening of the season, the mill has been
run day and night, and the average is
about ten barrels of -four turned out every
hour in twenty-four. The machinery
throughout is in admirable order, and rurs
with remarkable smoothness. The engine
is one of the largest and finest ever built
in this city, and there is scarcely a piece
of il that is not as bright as a new dollar.
Cook, the engineer, is the right man in
the right place.

Church History.

Elsewhere in this mornings paper will
be found an interesting history OF the
Presbyterian Church at MurfreesborO,
Tenn, giving the names of its original
members, patrons, ruling elders, etc, from
the period Of it's organization in 1872 TO
the present time. There are many de-
scendants of the persons named, some OF
whom are now residents Of this city aud
vicinity, who will be pleasantly reminded
of religious ancestry as they glance over
this historical sketch of those who were
the pioneers Of Presbyterianism in Middle
Tennessee. DIR. Robert Henderson, the
founder and first pastor Of the church
mentioned, was the grandfather OF a
gentlemen connected with the Nashville
press, and will he remembered by our oldeI
citizens as a preacher distinguished for
the learning and zeal which made him

THE LEGISLATURE
FIOaferfaI District.

NASHVILLE, July !, 1869 To the peo-
pie of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the past
few week. from every county in this fioate-
rial district, and Representative, as | am
induced to believe, of the solid and sub :
stantial portion of the constituency, have
brought me forward as a candidate for
your suffrage for seat in the next Legis-
Ia ure.
In obedience TO these calls, hereby an
nounce myself candidate, and propose
to meet assemblies of the people on every
proper occasion before the 9th Of August.
do not affect that do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself, | could more
profitably employ the time. But, believ-
ing that / understand the immediate BUSH
ness necessary for the promotion Of the
interest Of the people of the district and that
some previous legislative experience has
qualified me for the position, offer myself
| am in favor of the most prompt actioL
that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature, or the people in their sOver-
eign capacity under the Bill of Rights, or
all coDjoined, to secure the assembling of
n
moment, to amend the constitution and
laws, and remove all existing disabilities
ia regard to the elective franchise. The
most feasible plan conformable to law, is
the best, and the one | will favor by vote
and voice. The privileges now enjoyed
by any portion of the community, | do
not propose to disturb.
The business interests of this constilu-
ency in several important features demand
legislation. The mercantile community,
in my judgment, needs a representative
who comprehends their wants and sympa-
thises with their condition under present
laws. The general economic interests Of
the people in every pursuit, while requir-
ing broader and more liberal Legislation,
should be under the discipline of stricter
statutes, and such measures shall receive
my support.
In this brief card, these are all the
points necessary to allude to, but in be-
cominga candidate l expect TO meet voters
of every kind and deal frankly, and with
this view, lay my name before you.
