Mississippi and the Lake region, and endors-
in2 the projected line of Railroads from Chi

continuation of the Northern Pacific to the
Straits of Mackinaw, so as to connect with the
contemplated road to the Detroit and St.

; NASHVILLE, Oct. THE House completed
its organization to-day and before the appoint
ment OF the usual committees bills came in
like a Hood. One abolishing the Courts in
order TO remove airadical Judge, another abol-
ishlng county commissioners, another provid-
ing Tor electing members to constitutional
convention in November, another to repeal all
laws passed in 1S65-66-67-6S and SO. The
House then adjourned to take breath. Few
agree as to what will come of all this. All
sorts OF influences are used to control men in
FAVOR OF extreme measures. A Senator elected
as Republican against johnson has been
instructed by bis Democratic constituents to
vote for johnson and for the renewal of the
Radical State printer. Mr.. Fleming OF Knox
vile, strong johnson conservative, wisely
and successfully suggested moderation. SEN
atorial scenes shift to-day. Two of Etheridge,s
supporters fail him. johnson has too much
political nerve for him. The friends of both
are confident and active. The intense bitter
ness between, is working in the more moderate
friends of each disposition towards third
man. Some would turn Secessionward and
others Unionward. The latter would take up
Governor Senter or Secretary Fletcher. The
Governors Message will be transmitted on

the manure heap. If his owner refuses, after
his bitter experience, to kill, or have some one
to kill him, the law should be applied, if there

"THE IMMORTAL FOUNTAIN. From what
we learn the Operatta entitled the Immortal
Fountain" written by young lady of this vi
cinity of rare poetic talent,) to come of at
City Hall next Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings, is really an amateur affair of somewhat
unusual kind. The music has been selected
and arranged by Lady of we'll known musical
taste and capacity; while Mrs. Wetherbee,
Mrs. Webb, Mr.. Paine, and other talented mem
bers Of the Haydn Association have kindly
consented to lend her the aid of their voices in
bringing it out. Some who have attended the
rehearsal 8 says that the pieces are exceeding
ly fine; and Chandler is preparing to give them
effect by the best aid of his orchestra.
The sentiment of the piece, as appears from
the Lbretto, is ola peculiarly pure and elevat-
ed character which, added to fairy forms,
scenes, and dresses, offers most attractive
and agreeable entertainment, and will no doubt
as it deserves, draw full audiences.
