Long and Tedious Tourney,

Late yesterday evening the attention of
Policeman Eph. Corbett was called to a
feeble old man and little boy, who had Just
arrived in the city from South Carolina,
having walked every step of the way to
Nashville within three weeks and four days.
The old man and his son were weary and
hungry, and were promptly provided with
refreshments by the kind-hearted officer
into whose hands they had fallen, and
rested last night at. the City Hail. The
old man is named Harvey Nicely, and is
sixty-three years Of age, and his little son
is not yet ten years old. They are making
their way to Franklin, KY. near which
which place they have relatives living.
Mr.. Nicely says he might have obtained
transportation at least part of the way
from South Carolina, but not wishing to
be troublesome, he preferred to come
through on the g Walker line"

1t Will be remembered that ON the It'll
inst. steamboat collision, attended with
regretful consequences, occurred at Mem
PMS between the Nettie Jones and the
Great Republic, in which tho former was
sunk. The accident was attributable to
the carelessness or incompetency of certain
officers Of the two steamers, and the COM
plants at the time were both loud and We
hement An investigation has just been
had into the merits of the case by the
Board of Local Inspectors resulting in
the revocation of the license of one of the
pilots and the suspension Of that of the
other The following is the finding OF the
Local Inspectors
The Local Inspectors are CT the opinion
that the collision which took place between
the steamers Great Republic and Nettle
Jones, in open daylight, in front of the
wharf at Memphis, Tenn, March z, 1870,
resulting in the sinking Of the Nettie Jones,
| IS one of the many unfortunate accidents
that too often occur on our rivers from IN
attention to the strict construction of the
| law and rules made for the government OF
| pilots on the Western waters. And we be-
lieve that this collision could have been
easily prevented Dy Juuclous management
on the part of the pilots on the Great Re-
public and Nettie Jones. We therefore
suspend the license of J. II. Ostrandei
for sixty days from the date of his mott
fication, for disregarding the pilot rules
Nos. 1. and VIII, and for unskillfulness IL
plotting on the steamer Great Republic
March Z, 1870; and we revoke the license
of w. II. jackson, pilot on the Nettie Jones
for disregarding rules Nos. i. and VIII
and for unskillfullness and reckless conduct
March Z, 1870 For the justice of this de
cision we refer those interested to ''Pllo
Rules, Nos. l. and VIII, made and pro
vided Jan. &c, 1869; and to section II, Law
of 1888; and section 8, article *, OF tn
law passed Aug. 80, 1852; and to sector
20, same act.
And for the information of those cor
cerned, we desire to say that they have tn
right of appeal to the Supervising Inspect
or at any time within thirty days from tn
date Of this decision.

Another Manufacturing Enterprise.
1t always affords us pleasure to note
facts connected with the increase and sue
cess of manufacturing enterprises in and
around the city. Nashville could and
ought to be made a great manufacturing
centre. The necessary enterprise, natural
facilities and mechanical skill are here.
The necessary capital is also here, and
would be used to profitable advantage if
invested in manufacturing interests. Re-
cent occurrences, we are gratifed to see,
indicate that a new and vigorous spirit is
being awakened in this direction, and it is
important to the interests and prosperity
of our citizens that it be encouraged and
enlarged.
In this connection we may remark that
we are glad to learn that Fl. G. ScoSel, real
estate agent, has rented to French Bros. &
Co., the large brick house and lot on North
Market street, known as the ''Sloan Car
riage Factory, for the purpose of estab-
fishing there mandatory of hubs, spokes
and axles. Active operations will be com
menced in a short time, Just as soon as the
requisite machinery can be procured and
put in working order.

TO the Voters of Davidson County

ask of them the high and appreciated ia
vor of their support, at the coming cleo
ton, for County Trustee of this county /;
and 1 avail myself. of this means of asking
the people of my native county for their
support for the first time in my life. 1 ask
of the people, if they view us all qualified
to fill the place, to look at the circum-
stances Of the different candidates in life
their condition in health--oempafe them
all impartially, and then cast your votes for
the man who will make you a faithful of
ticer, and the man who is less able to live
without the Office. Invent into the Con
