A CHORAL SERVICE:

To the Editors of the Union and American:
On Sunday evening was present at
a most interesting service, at the Church
of the Holy Trinity, South Nashville. 1t
was full choral, and deVoutly conducted
by a choir of children. A little girl of
eleven years presided at the organ, and
from the way which she played, promises
to be of great assistance to the Rev. Mr..
Royce in the musical rendering of his
services. The choir master, bright
youth of fifteen, whose reverent behavior
was very noticeable, was confirmed by
Bishop Green, as were also nine others,
most of whom were children.
The natural effect of such service,
leads to the early confirmation of chill
dren, the neglect of which is one of the
prevailing faults of the present day. The
church was crowded to its utmost capac-
ity, and every one, it is to be hoped,
went away much impressed with the beau
ty and solemnity of such service. And
if this is, as is styled by some, the first
step toward Rome, the sooner one or two
of our other churches take it the better,
though we fear they will be sadly disap-
pointed when they find that instead of
leading to Rome it only leads to promote
in no small measure the earliest spiritual
growth and health of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church. S.

A SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

The Cumberland and Ohio Railroad
Company have, for some time, been en-
deavoring to get the citizens of Cincinnati
to accept Southern railroad Of them at q
merely nominal cost. The route, we be-
ieve, is familiar to our readers Running
on the Louisville Short Line about twenty
five miles, the road strikes south through
! some of the richest counties in Ken
lucky to the State line, and from thence to
Lebanon, Tenn, where it will connect with
road direct TO Nashville. The stock is
already subscribed for building this road,
chiefly by parties along its line, except
about 100000, which it is proposed to
obtain from citizens of Cincinnati.
But now comes in Louisville and pro-
poses to take hold and build a road to lay
louisville, provided the connection to Gin
cinnati is dropped. Shall the rich trade
which would be opened up to US by the
expenditure of $500, 900 be allowed to be
diverted from us? The Directors of the
@ and o railroad hold meeting in Leb-
anon next Tuesday, August 16, when it is
understood that the proposition of Louis
vile will be formally presented. Would
it not be advisable for the Board of Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce to have a
delegation on the spot to look after the
interests of Cincinnati on that occasion
Prompt action now will secure a railway
that will bring trade to this city that is
invaluable, while delay will be fatal

A CARD FROM GEN. TOM. BENTON
SMITH

l lTRIUNE Tenn, Aug. 10, 1670.-Fel-
w-citizens, friends and countrymen of
the Fifth Congressional District in COM
ing before you as a candidate for Con-
gress, do so fully aware of the great
responsibility that will rest on me if
elected. FeIlow-citizens, l am one of
you, raised in your midst, have imbibed
your patriotism, sentiments, feelings and
actions, your interests are my interests,
and to serve you faithfully as in days
gone by, is the crowning aim of my
ambition. Congress is the power that is
shaping our political destiny, and the
rising generation feels a deep interest in
the future welfare of the State. Being
solicited to begin the canvass week after
next by one of my Honorable competitors,
and there are six of us in the race,
deem it my duty to call on my country
men to settle between US who shall have
the honor of representing the wealth,
intelligence and Chivalry of the Fifth
Congressional District in the halls of the
national Legislature, l think as nine
tenths of the people do, that some Radi-
cal will represent US in the next Congress
if we all run. l shall therefore wait the
action of a Convention of the people.
l am, fellow-citizens, very respectfully
your obedient servant.

A VOICE FROM VIRGINIA..


Such life. time Wings as Fillmore, and
Winthrop, and Ewing, and all their .asso.
ciates who have not joined the Radical
party in the Northern States, are active,
Jealous and avowed supporters of the
Democratic party. They live and move in
the midst of the actual strife, see and feel
II all. They find that the only prac-
tical effective resistance that can be
made to the Radical party has to be
made by the Democratic party organ
ization. Hence they join it, forgetting old
party strife, and burying all its hostilities.
They opposed the Democratic party be-
cause they thought the good of their coun>
try would be promoted by the success of
the political organization that then 1p-
posed the Democratic. party. They sup
port the Democratic party now, because
they k7eOaO that the good of their country
will be promoted by the defeat and by the
destruction Of the political organization
that is now opposec by the Democratic
party.
y Bot while TINS is the condition of affairs
on the field where actual conflict RACES,
we haveea curious lot down here in Vir-
ginia who insist on organizing, for the ma
ton that scarcely recognizes them, new
political party that is to swallow up the
great national parties that are seen In all
the rest of America. This party, of high.
pretensions and terrifying exactions
within its ow" is circle, when
it appears 49, g the real
people of the world, might attract mo-
mentary attention as all dwarfs do, but
would never be regarded as any of real
value for actual work. The puny thing,
when entering the national circle, might
be noticed temporarily, for its infrmity
and its vanity, but could not for a moment
be regarded on account of its capacity for
real permanent usefulness in the world of
actual practical politics. -. g5a,a0 -
The old Wing State of Kentucky does
not hesitate to pursue the same direct
course. She goes into no pretentious mids
die ground between Democracy and Re-
publicanism. With the frankness and
chivalry that always marked her people,
that old Wing State is found to-day leading
in the fight of the Democracy against
While such is the course of the conser-
vative men, who formerly opposed the
Democratic party, in those parts of the
Union where the main contest between
Democracy and Republicanism prevails,
why should a segregated, isolated organi-
zation be attempted here in Virginia?
When we find the old Wing leaders, of the
United States, who seek to beat Republi-
,anism, joining with the Democratic party
IS the only practical course to accomplish
hat purpose, why should a new and differ
'nt policy be attempted here in Virginia?

The Democratic party is not dead, as
some persons would have us believe, but,
in our opinion, is entering upen new and
more vigorous life. In this country, as in
every other, parties must exist, and there
can at one time be only two great parties.
They will absorb all others. In the
United States we have the two, the
Democratic and the Radical. All
other party organizations will grav-
itate to the one or the other. We of
the South must affiliate with the one or
the other; and as we cannot go with the
latter we must accept the former, The at
tempt, therefore, to hold such men as John
G. Breckenridge, Isham G. Harris, and
other old-time Democratic leaders, up to
public odium, is in exceeding bad taste,
and will recoil with damaging effect upon
its originators.-FdyettaUitLe Observer.

Estill executed his note to Syler the CON
sideration being Confederate money. Sy-
Ter transferred this note to Loughmiller,
the plaintiff, with Endorsement of guar
anty. This transfer and guaranty was
made upon new consideration passing from
Loughmiller to Sy1er. The action was
commenced on the note before justice
of the peace. There was an appeal to
the Circuit Court. The judgment from
which appeal has been taken to this court,
was judgment in favor of plaintiff
against the guarantor, Syler. 1t is the
opinion of majority of the court that
the plaintiff is not debarred of his re-
coVery against Syler, the guarantor by
reason of the fact that the original con-
sideration of the note as between Estill
and Syler was Confederate money. Let
the Judgment be affirmed.

DURING the prevalence of the cholera in
the summer of 1852, the Old Artillery of
Troy was sent down on the road between
that city and Albany to fire cannon to keep
off the epidemic. As cannon firing inn
pregnated the air with sulphur, the philos-
opher of that day supposed the disease
could be successfully resisted with siege
guns. The firing did not amount to much.
The cholera was not frightened by the ar
tillery. The pestlence invaded Troy and
remained there for over two months.

A FASHIONABLE but ignorant lady of st.
Louis wanted costly camel's hair shawl,
but her husband got her a cheap imita-
ton article. On examining it, she found
the name of the manufacturer on one
corner, and wanted to know what that
was. ''That, said the husband, ''Oh,
that's the name of the camel of whose
hair the shawl was made!" The wife
takes great pride in her shawl, and has
no doubt of his genuineness.
