GcncraI FRANK Chea,bam,

The Paris HteUigeacer of the g3d has
the following:
Gen. Frank Cheatham has been spend
ing a few days in our town. Although this
is his first visit here, we dare say that he
has as many friends and acquaintance
among us as though he had been always a
resident The acquaintance was formed
at other times and places, which are now
historic. Our people are glad to meet per
sonally the brave commander and tried
friend and protector of the SONS whom they
sent out to battle for the cause which
though lost, they believed to be right and
patriotic And this welcome is richly de-
served; for earth never bore a truer heart
than that which beats in the bosom of
Frank Cheatham

Committees in Blast.

There are three important Legislative
investigating committees in session at the
Capitol at this time. They are the School
Fund Investigating Committee, the Agri-
cultural Scrip Investigating Committee
and the Railroad Investigating Committee.
Although none of the results of their de-
alterations have as yet been made public,
we learn that they are making commend,
able progress, and it is but reasonable to
infer that some small sized mares nests
have been discovered before this.

We find that opening our columns to all

April term in the County of Giles. They
had vigilant grand jury composed of

white man in the county with a single ex-
ception of "a party giving away some liquor

cred. That section of the State was never
in more peaceful and orderly condition
than at the present time.

The day being one of the most beautiful
and lovely of the season, the attendance at
unusually large. The sidewalks after the
ringing of the first bells were thronged by
our people going with devotional feelings
to the several churches, which were filed
to repletion. Those who attended, so far
as we have heard an expression, were well
entertained, instructed and edited. OF a
truth it can be said that there is no place
where the citizens are more of church
going people than is Nashville.

in speaking of the new division, says:
This association of locomotive engi-
neers is for the purpose of mutual protec-
ton as mechanics, and for the improve
ment of their abilities as engineers. The
locomotive engineers are, as a class, pecu-
liarly reliable and prompt men. Their
vocation is one of continual danger, and for
their services they deserve liberal compen-
sation. Our lives are daily in their hands,
and every incentive to their attention to
duty should be bestowed upon them. We
hail the contemplated organization in this
city as a good work and wish it abundant
success

yesterday bring the intelligence that in
addition to the sickness of his mother,
who is very low, the wife and sister of

perhaps dangerously so, the illness being
in part occasioned by the fatigue and
ceaseless watching of the invalid mother.

Extension of Church and Spruce
Street Railroads.

Work on the Church and Spruce Street
railroad extension was commenced yester-
day morning, and will, we learn, be pushed
vigorously forward until it is finally COM
pleted. This is an enterprise in which all
of our citizens, especially those living in
West Nashville and along the line of the
road are deeply interested, and we know of
none, the early completion of which would
confer more immediate and permanent ben
eft, and be hailed with more general salts
faction. Operations commence at the cor
ner of Spruce and Broad streets. From
that point the road will be pushed forward
along Broad to Carol street. 1t will run
North on Carol to the Penitentiary, and
will finally be extended from the Peniten-
tiary along the Harding Pike to the Fair
Grounds
The recently elected Secretary and
Treasurer and President and the new Di.
rectory, are composed of gentlemen who
are among our most enterprising and re.
liable business men, who will not cease
their efforts till the work is completed.
| The extension will be finished to the Peni
Tertiary very speedily and on to the FAN
Grounds Just as soon as circumstances will
permit A fewIweeks' work, will finish W
the work to Carroll street from which point
it will be extended with all possible facility
