Regarding the condition Of trade in Eng
land the London correspondent of the
FJH0Hci0l Chronicle, under date of Dec
IL, says:
1t is pretty generally admitted that the
trade Of the country is improving, and that
the business of the last few weeks has not
been of an unsatisfactory character. From
all the leading centers of manufacturing in
dustry more encouraging accounts are re-
ceived Of the state of commerce, and 1t is
expected that the year will terminate with
most branches of trade in a sounder cOndi-
ton than for some time past. That conf
dence is gaining ground is very evident,
and, although it cannot be assured that
trade IS active, yet, at the same time,
steady, safe and fairly lucrative business is
being carried on. Lancashire, Yorkshire
and the Midland counties are better en-
ployed, and are producing larger amount
Of goods at, it Is believed, a greater profit.
The advices from abroad are also more sat
isfactory From the colonies favorable &C
counts have been received with regard to
the condition Of business, which, although
rather quiet, it is believed to be inherently
sound; and on the continent, trade, aided
by cheap money and by peace, is expand
ing itself to a fair extent.

be rendered on the last named evening.

The election yesterday was the allah
sorbing topic Not only was the excite.
ment widespread in Edgefeld, but the PEG.
pie Of Nashville seemed to be as much in
terested as if it was one of their own cleo
lions. The day was exceedingly disa-
greeable, and notwithstanding the efforts
on the part Of the friends of both tickets
to bring out a full vote, there were doubt
less many kept away from the polls on ac-
count of the weather. Hacks, carryalls.
express wagons and other vehicles were
running throughout the day, and all hands
seemed to be sctuated by the old adage,
Vote early aud vote often. Six extra
policemen were sworn in at an early hour
in the morning for the occasion, and the
election throughout passed off without the
least disturbance The following is the

few months since we had the gratifca-
ton to announce to our citizens a hopeful
prospect that the distinguished citizen
whose name heads this article would be-
come our fellow-citizen, in the capacity of
the President of the University of Nash
vile. We regret to be called on to an
nounce that intelligence, received within
the past few days, dispels this prospect
The philosophical President of the
Board Of Trustees, with the sanction of his
colleagues, during the summer had an in
terview with Gen. Johnston, in which the
subject was discussed informally. Upon
his return to the city with q report of the
tenor of Gen. Johnstons conversation. it
was decided to take steps to make a formal
tender Of the position, and the question
was presented to the public. Judge John
NJ. Lee, the President of the Board, and
Gen. Robert e. Foster, also of the Board
proceeded actively to work, and in a few
weeks were prepared, by the prompt and
cordial support and cooperation they re-
ceived, to transmit a definite proposition
Engagements for the present and the in
definite future, of business character, and
binding, as it appeared, in their nature
caused Gen. Johnston to hesitate as to his
ability to accept. A correspondence en-
sued, which, as we have stated, has con-
cluded in his informing the gentlemen
named that these business relations render
it impossible for him to accept, and COM
pei him to tore8o entering upon a sphere Of
duty which would have been agreeable in
every respect.
This announcement viii cause disap-
pointment TO the citizens of Nashville gen
orally, and especially to those most deeply
concerned for the welfare Of the University
Of Nashville, and the interests Of the city as
an educational point. From an inspection of
the correspondence which we have been
permitted to have, we have no Doubt that
the regret is shared equally by Gen. John
ston himself His letters manifest desire
to place himself in n position 10 assume the
offer, and abound in expressions apprecia-
tive Of the confidence reposed IN HIM. and
If the attachment he feels for Tennessee

the hope was raised which has thus been

'TIBE DAE Or JUBILEE.
Celebrating Freedom.
The VoIOTcd Folks in Their Glory.

On the first day Of January. 1868. the
proclamation Of Mr.. Lincoln, freeing the
slaves Of the South was issued. With that
event old landmarks were wiped out. and
old institutions were swept away; the
labor system of the South was disrupted,
and torn TO pieces. Adverse soever as it
may seem 30 the parties most con-
cerned, it il not our purpose to
TO discuss the propriety or the improperly
of the measure Whether those who are
as they imagine, the immediate recipients
Of any permanent benefits therefrom, re-
mains to be seen. In the circumstances
they are certainly pardonable for the de-
monstratipn Of the anniversary.
They have been looking forward to it
for weeks past with no ordinary degree of
interest. Aud though the day was
one Of the. worst imaginable,
they were out in force at an
carly hour. They commenced gathering
on Broad street and on the Public Square,
and 10y 10 o'clock they were arrayed in
regular procession form. The procession
was a success. The cold water army, the
association Of BARRIERS, and various org2ni-
cations strung il out 60 almost an indefinite
length, while the hundreds who did
not represent any order still further
swellcd the ranks The procession
proceeded to the Capitol after march
ing through tho Public Square and
along the principal streets. At the Capitol
the regular proceedings were had, which
appear in another column. To the credit,
he it said, Of the nowly-made men and
brothers, they were quiet and orderly
throughout, creating nodisturbances. We
sincerely trust that with the commencement
of the new year each and every one of
them will eudeavor to wear most worthily
the mantle Of freedom, the reception Of
which they commemorated yesterday.
