The subject of popular education has
become one, as it should be, of vital and
paramount interest. The impcrfections in
the system of education are seen and fully
appreciated by its friends, and they mani
fest general disposition to grapple with
the same till they be remedied, if not over
come altogether. The subject has become
one of general interest throughout the
counties of the State, and from its full and
free discussion through the columns of an
enlightened public press, and the presen-
tation Of all the facts through public meet
ings, good results can but accrue. The
census statistics of our State and county
show lamentable number of persons who
cannot read and write-two accomplish
ments which form the very front doors to
the Temple of knowledge.
The State Teachers Meeting, soon to
convene at the capital, is very important
one, from which good results may be ex-
pected as affecting our educational inter
ests. The people need eli the enlighten-
ment they can get upon the subject, and if
the way be but clearly opened, we are sure
that they will vigorously cooperate, by
their energies and their means, in estab-
fishing q school system whose benefits viii
be received by every child in the State,
In our county, taking all the cream
stances into the account, the common
schools are working we'll We are in
formed that there are, outside of the city,
eighty-two schools, under competent
teachers, in successful operation, with an
average attendance of near twenty eight
hundred pupils. This, for the time they
have been in operation, is an excellent
showing, and augurs well for their future
and permanent prosperity.

Death Of u Former Resident.

tobacco and mercantile business. He was
Mayor Of LynctbUrG in 1924, 1925, and
again IN 1873. IL 1871 he removed to
Nashville, where he remained an active
business man until 1866, when he returned
10 Lynchburg and III 1868 was again APP

board Trade,

An Informal meeting of the Nashville
Board of Trade was held yesterday morn
ing at eleven o'clock.
The subject Of having a bonded ware
house in Nashville, to which imported
merchandise, such as sugar, coffee aud
other goods could be sent in bond, was dis
cussed. Bonded warehouses of this dis
cription are 10 be used solely for the stor-
age of warehouse goods, and the Revenue
Collector will look cnly to the safe custody
of such merchandise for the security Of the
revenue.
The question Of procuring a suitable
house Of this description was then consid-
cred, and President French appointed Z.
/. Armstead, James Mclaughlin and H..
Il Lluier. Jr, committee TO inquire
into the matter, aUd ascertain whether a
bonded warehouse could be established in
the city President French also stated
that he had telegraphed to Albert Fink at
Louisville as to whether lie would make
arrangements TO forward goods in bond
over the LOuisy lie AID Nashville railroa d,
and a telegram was received from Eir.
Fink that he would have goods III bond
promptly forwarded.
The Committee on Railroads was IT.
structed TO see the proper officials of rail
roads running south OF Nashville and as
certain whsther bonded goods could be
shipped south OF this city.
At the conclusion Of the meeting, the
President directed tho Secretary to call a
special meeiing Tor this morning at eleven
o'clock full attendance at that meeting
is desired, as business of importance will
be transacted.

Military Notes Negro Recruits
Change of Officers.

We stated few days since that a de-
tachment Of about one hundred and fifty
negro recruits would soon leave for Texas,
and also hat they would be accompanied
by Col Schwenk, and Lieut. b. NJ. Custer,
and that Lieut.. Albee, of the 2ith United
States Infantry would be in charge of the
recruiting post of this city.
The recruits left on last Saturday even
ing as announced, but owing to an acct
dent of Lieut. Custer, the programme was
slightly changed, and Lieut. Albee went to
Texas, while Lieut. Custer remained here
in charge of the recruiting post Of the
nature Of Lieut. Clusters accident we were
not advised, further than this, that his right
hand and arm were accidentally cut in
some way, though he received, We believe,
no dangerous injury.
We learn that, though one hundred and
fifty Legroes had been recruited, an adj
ditional hundred might have been obtained
if quarters had been provided. AS those
already recruited nearly filed the barracks,
and as they could not be sent away till the
subsistence of the yellow fever in Texas, no
effort was made TO obtain more recruits.
We are also informed that most of these
negroes are either recruited in the country
or come here from the country to enlist,
and that but a small number comparatively
are obtained in the city. The negroes in
the country have, many of them, already
served in the Federal army, and often have
d disposition to serve again; but the city
negroes evidently prefer such a life as they
may be able to find in the city, to going
West to fight Indians, though We believe
there is no: much of that now in Texas.

What is Said OF MIR. SkiIes by the
pra&G.


The following reference to the special
policeman, Mr.. Skies, who is on dnty at
the Chattanooga depot, and who captured
the notorious negro, Lewis Travis, We find
in the Atlanta IRteILjgeRcer'
This gentleman, in company with our
friend and fellow-citiZen, Col VIM. O'Hal-
loran, visited our sanctum on yesterday.
Capt Skies is citizen of Nashville, and
is the gentleman who arrested the notori-
Gus Louis Travis, colored, on the 18th
inst, in Nashville, and turned him over to
Mr.. Brown, of Griffin, Ga. Capt. Skies
deserves great credit for his noble bearing
aud bravery, and as highland meritoriOus
compliment, the citizens of Spalding
county have complimented him with a
solid gold ring, in addition TO the reward
offered for the arrest of the negro.
The reward offered by Gov Bullock, we
have no doubt, will be promptly paid.
Capt Skies, in making this arrest, iun
great risk of losing his life. He has a
wound on his right hand, and one on his
left ear and left leg, from pistol shot,
fired by the notorious Lewis Travis, who
has since died from wounds inflicted by
Capt. Skies in making the arrest All
honor TO brave Tennesseean.
Copying the above, The Atlanta Ne'C Era
remarks:
We transfer the above from the Igt6lE-
gencer of yesterday. Capt. Skies deserves
the thanks of the people of Griffin, and of
the whole State, for his intrepid conduct
in this meter. Travis was a notorious
desperate, and it seems that Capt Skies
was the only party present who cared to
make the onset of such character

NASHVILLE ONION AMERICAN TUESDAY NOVEMBER 49, 1870

prices of domestic silks of all grades, to
the detriment of foreign goods.
The opinion seems to be general in this
market that the French supply is nearly
exhausted, but that we will not have any
great advance in prices before next sea-
son. Some considerable amounts of silks
and velvets have been sent to this country
without being dyed or finished, thus
showing the. anxiety to ship all kinds OF
goods from France out of the way of the
invading army. Almost all kinds Of
French and German production will be
necessarily very much higher as soon as
the present stock, which is very large,
shall become exhausted.
At the same time, goods now being re-
ceived from France show, in the case of
certain staple fabrics, an advance in the
prices current just before the war. A
leading importer exhibited to US two in,
voices from Lyons, one lated in July lasi
and the other in October, this latter in.
voice showing an advance of about Is
per cent on the same class of goods.
The importation of foreign silks still
continue to be quite heavy, and probably
larger amount is now held in bond il
the United States than ever before. Thc
stocks in jobbers' hands are also quit,
large, although the majority of this clasl
OF dealers express themselves well salts
fed with the investment, and exhibit
considerable confidence in the futur.
prospects of the market. Our city re
tailers are just now offering extra induce
ments of low prices to attract customers
but their stocks are mostly not abov
their actual wants, and many of then
are increasing their amount in hand il
expectation of the anticipated advance
The importation of goods of silk manu-
facture for the past week has been 81I
packages, valued at $3.50, 149, an increas
of $3.50, 500, or over 100 per cent, owe

The silk Trade.

The New York Bulletin of a late date
says;
The low prices at which both foreign
and domestic silks are selling at present
surprises both dealers and consumers. An
attempt was made at the opening of the
season to advance prices in all kinds of
silks; but this failed, and in many in
stances prices are lower than they were
at the outbreak of the continental war.
This is explained by the fact that the
French manufacturers selected our mar
ket as the best to which they could ship
their products for safety or sale, and the
result has been shipments far in excess of
the present demand. Raw silk has been
shipped very largely to this market, and
this has had the effect of reducing the

Congressmen I'm Wall Street.

The New York Express of Wednesday
evening says:
Congress will reassemble in December,
but in the interim it seems to be in session
in Wall street. Every day can be seen
Senators and Representatives, chiefly from
distant States, fitting in ard out of bank
ers' offices, and receiving points on the
financial situation. These national legis-
lstors are freely supplied with financial
bills by the bankers and brokers, which
are to cure ell the ills of our financial sys-
tenn. Many of these honorable gentlemen
will wend their way toward Washington
feeling happy in the possession Of some
bill or measure which will make them the
Messish to carry the Children of Wall
street safely out of the labyrInths of paper
money, Just as Moses carried the Children
of Israel out of Egypt. 1t is hszarding
nothing to say that many Congressman
will be disappointed in not reaching the
height of their financial ambition, but it
may solace their feelings to know that they
may be the means of making fluctuations
in the Gold Room and on the Stock Ex-
change, by which the bankers, brokers and
spectators Of We'll street may reap
golden harvest.

Tennessee ROnds.

There was very severe break in Ten
nessee Bonds in the New York market last
week, which the papers there account for
thus: SIT is stated that the parties who
loaded up in expectation of finding pur-
chasers at higher quotations when the State
should auction of its interest in the several
railroads which have failed to meet their
indebtedness to the State, were greatly
disappointed to find that there were no
bidders for franchise thus offered, and when
they afterwards learned that the sale failed
because of the claims of the United States
to certain portions of the rolling stock
which had been soll to the companies at
the end Of the war, but for which payment
had not as yet been made, they began SELL
ing their load, precipitating the break
