to encourage and promote skill in the
noble act of equestrianism. We see
that the Nashville Agricultural Soef-
ETY. has offered a premium for the best
gentleman rider, one mile, over four
hurdles, three feet high. We under
stand that a similar premium has al
ready been determined on by our Di-
rectOrs, and will be offered at the COM
ing Fair. The premium offered to the
best gentleman rider at a Fair, or
heretofore awarded, was a mere farce;
but the test here offered will be a fair
one, and the young gentleman who
has the nerve and steadiness of seat
sufficient to win this premium will
deserve it. Let the young men make
arrangements to getsOme good horses,
and let US see some good riding for the
hurdle premium. One hundred dol
lars will be given and no entrance fee
required. Get your horses, you Con-
federate cavalry, and go into training
for the race.
Capt. George W. Gift left yester-
day for San Francisco, on the mission
on which he is sent by the Arkansas
River immigration Labor Company.
He went well prepared with money
and letters to carry out the objects of
the company. Our readers viii be
kept posted as to his movements, as
he will correspond with the APPEAL
during his absence.
Col. c. w. Lightner, of California,
after remaining in our city for several
days and giving much information rel
alive to the Chinese movement, went
to Tuscumbia, Ala, on yesterday,
where he will remain with his friends
for several days, and will be happy to
give all the light possible concerning
the important business referred to.
Col. Lightner is a gentleman of first
class ability, and well posted on his
subject from actual experience, and is
travelling for pleasure only.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
The Murderers Of Priestle identified
and Arrested.
Four Men and Two Women lmpIi-
Gated.

1t will be remembered that on the
evening of Saturday, June 9Th, a nan
named Ferdinand Priestle was found
dead at or near NOncOnnah Bridge,
under circumstances which left but
little or no room to doubt that he had
been most foully dealt with. A jury
of Inquest was held at the time, and a
verdict returned to the effect that the
deceased met his death at the hands
of some party or parties unknown.
From the fact that a VIGOROUSLY bad
negro had been seen lurking around
the neighbOrhOOd during the after
noon, it was supposed that he had
committed the deed. He was arrest
ed, but proved that he was innocent,
and was therefore discharged, and no
further steps were taken by the police
in the matter at the time.
Yesterday morning a brother of
the murdered man came to the
First District Station and stated
that he had discovered his brothers
m~urderersS On the advice of Ser
geaRt Brown he went to Squire
Foley and cot oct a warrant for the
partieS-siX negroes, named John
toLCN AlCOGC, nay MOOu 6tEGCn ,
Morgan McCallum, Henry Wilson,
Sabrina Morgan and Emma Wilson.
Armed with these warrants Mr..
Priestle, accompanied by Captain
SimOns, Sergeant Brown and others
Of the Metropolitan Police force
mOunted, WeEst cut to the Whea-
ton place, and there fg4Ed five
Of the negroes working in the field.
The Tingleader, however, John Wes-
ley, was not present, and thinking
that they had missed him, they start
ed back, On the way to the station
they met the very person they want
ed, carrying Il bucket on his head.
He was quickly secured and brought
along with the balance. The eaVal-
cade created quite a sensation as it
passed through Main street, remind
ing us forcibly Of war times.
We are informed that the coat of
the murdered man and some other
property of his was found in John
Wesley's cabin, his gun in the posses
SIGN Of another, and that the proof
against the whole party is conclusive.
They spent the night in the Adams
street station last night, and viii have
an examination before Squire FGl6y
to-day.
