Allow me to say that the only dissatisfac-
ton expressed, was by our liberal hotel
proprietors, all of whom had made prepare
tons for the accommodation of more of our
orphan guests than could be supplied, and
much to the regret Of ourselves and Capt.
J. E. Stacey, proprietor of the Stacey
House, his generous solicitations could
not be granted. 1 have the pleasure also
to present a superb organ, donated by the
manufacturers, Messrs. D. & II. W. Smith,
Boston, and our music publisher and mer-
chant, r. Dorman.
Also Grover q Baker sewing machine,
by Messrs. Il. II. Thompson and B. W.
Randall
Also to the Suspension Bridge Company
for the gratuitous use of their bridge at
will.
Also to both telegraph companies for the
free transmission of dispatches over their
wires; to the Southern Express Company,
for freight; and the Nashville and Cairo
Packet Company, for same. b.
We are greatly indebted to Capt. Thatch-
er for the use of his express wagon, and
for his admirable assistance at the piano
and organ, during the concert; and to the
members of the First Baptist Sunday
School for their aid, and to our organist,
Mr.. Reese.
Finally, with feelings of sincerest graft
tude, and with pride ard joy, we tender
our profoundest acknowledgements to the
magnificent post band, of the 18th United
States Infantry, and the noble encourage
ment Of the officers and soldiers of this
excellent command. Please permit me to
add, that the magnanimity and benevo-
lence manifested toward our orphans by
the Federal officers and soldiers in and out
of the army, and by our Northern friends,
have done more to produce fraternal feel
ing than anything that has ever occurred
in Tennessee.
The report of the Nashville Auxiliary
Society will show that the net profits aris-
ing from the three concerts, amount to
fully three thousand dollars, and the actual
outlay will not exceed twenty-five dollars.
