Stock on hand

The actual stock on hand was taken last
evening, and we alter our table to suit.
In the above statement, we have given the
receipts and shipments as obtained through
out the year by daily reports. We en-
deavored from time to time, to obtain the
shipments of through cotton from agents
acting in the interest of the railroads East,
but succeeded only in part. Our table
shows the receipts for the cotton year to
be 81 POS bales, against 81, O64 for the year
ending Sept. 1, 1869. The receipts for
1869 were actual, while a considerable
amount of the cotton included in the re-
ceipts for 1870 was not handled by our
factors, but was simply transferred from
one depot to the other. Counting there
fore the receipts this year Cincluding that
obtained by our reporters in transitu) in
comparison with the receipts for the cotton
year ending Aug. 81, 1869, we find fall
ing off in receipts of $50 bales. But if we
should reduce the figures to actual receipts
Gncluding the cotton consigned alone to
our factorsJ the decrease in receipts would
be considerable.
We have obtained from Maj. John 8.
Bransford, the following statistics touching
the shipments of cotton by all routes for
the year ending to-day, to wit
By L. & n. Railroad. 917 bales.

In hastily written review prepared for
daily paper, it is impossible to embrace
many departments which are as equally
deserving of mention as those noted. Had
we the data before US we might speak
knowingly of the boot and shoe trade, tos
bacco and cigars, agricultural implements,
drugs and medicines, clothing, liquors,
iron and other interests of equal import
ance. From rough estimates obtained by
personal inquiry, the following may be re-
garded as approximating the sales made in
the respectiYe branches which follow;

Suffice it to say that the trade of Nash
vile is in very healthful condition, and
we only regret that We are not able to add
to the above something touching our manu-
featuring interest, which would give our
readers some idea of the capital employed
by our enterprising mechanics in their
different pursuits. Before the close of an
other year, we hope that Nashville can
boast of Chamber of Commerce, with all
our tradesnen deeply interested in its op-
erations, and permanent success.

The Life Association of America, through
its branch organized in Jackson, have re-
Gently loaned to the citizens of Madison
county over 1875, 600 on real estate, the
conveyances to secure the payment of
which may be seen duly registered. This
is practical and tangible exempli6cation
of this compaay's method of keeping the
money at H0ne, while securing to all the
advantages of Life Insurance. A reference

the company. Indeed, its history is un-
paralleled for the rapidity of its growth,
and the economy of its management
Jackson Wing and Tribune To
The undersigned, having recently opened
an Office in Nashville, and commenced the
organization of Board of Trustees for the
Life Association of America here, have for
the last month partially suspended opera
tons at this place to look after the interests
of the Association in West Tennessee,
where, within that time, they have col
lected $15, $50. 40, premiums on new bust
ness, and, as stated above, the Asso-
citation, through its branches, have
loaned in the county of Madison
alone the sum of $95, 532 80, be-
sides other loans in West Tennessee. 1t is
now proposed to complete the Nashville
Board of Trustees, which will, when organ
ICED, control and loan the net assets of the
company derived in the District of Middle
Tennessee. 1t is not only the claim but the
practice of the company to loan its money
at home. It's charter requires it. We sp-
peal to the business interests of the citi-
zens of Nashville to consider this important
feature of the Associations plan.

OUR GOVERNMENT TAKING wksaINGTON's
ADVICE.

In time of peace prepare for war; was
the advice left by the wise Washington to
the land he had saved. The tendency of
the present terrible European struggle
gives us an opportunity for protiting in
measure 10y his words.
Few nations, if any, as readily adapt
themselves, on short notice, to a state of
warfare, and as quietly and successfully,
when the necessity for strife no longer eX-
lists, lay aside the grim regalia of Mars, and
turn again to peaceful pursuits, as the
Americans. The events of the opening
and closing of our late war fully proved
this. But all who remember the dark days
of the commencement of the strife know
well what delays and disasters, what loss
of treasure and precious life, resulted from
lack of preparation, from being obliged to
experiment until we had got into good
working order. a certain amount of even
such trouble is preferable to the many evils
standing army, an institution foreign alike
to the feelings and institutions of Ameri-
cans.
| But there is no reason why what army
we have should not be in the best possible
condition for effectiveness if needed, and
the military department of our Govern
ment be- in respect to arms, Announcements,
artillery and everything pertaining 10
military science, in the greatest possible
condition of advancement The shock OF
the huge armies now contending on the
soil of France, gives us many opportuni-
ties of useful observation. We may, with
advantage, compare the practical efficiency
of the needle gun and the chassepot with
the Spencer the Henry and other improv-
ed arms of American make. IN artillery
too, we may gain some useful items. And
we shall certainly be able to decide wheth-
er the undetermined mitrailleur is or il
not a hu.nbug.
The s-yle of uniform, the weight o.
knapsack and accoutrements, and Other
similar points have much more 10 do witt
the efficiency of an army than many PEG
pie suppose. In all such matters nations
may, with advantage, learn lessons from
each other.
The action of our Government in send
ing Sheridan as looker-on at the grea
struggle is timely and wise. This is Al
age of progress, in military as well as socia
: science, and the universal Yankee Nation
desires to keep itself supplied with al
the modern improvements"

ed, we see realization of the fact that
many battlefield will he found on the
road to Berlin.
But what is the conduct of the nation
whose sovereign, accompanied by the heir
of the throne, and thousands of the brave
spirits of his land has marched out to-
wards the fatal Rhine frontier? First comes
the trifiing success of Saarbruck. Bells
ring, bonfires blaze, and Paris goes wild
with enthusiasm. Shouts are heard every
where for the Emperor. Had such news
continued to arrive, Theirs and all the mall
contents would soon have found their
complaints drowned in the universal
rejoicing. But then came the sad day Of
WcissenbuTg. The victorious Prussians
are on French soil, Mcmahon is driven
back, fugitives line the road, prisoners 10y
tens of thousands are in the hands of the
enemy, Metz is in danger and reported
abandoned, and the Ministry are adopting
strenuous measures for the defense of the
endangered capital of the late confident
and bOastful nation. Now, if his cause
was one they approved the people should
have clung closer than ever to their leader
and 10y their zeal and energy revived his
spirits dropping under his late defeat. But
instead of the late " Viue pEmpcrcUr,n
the fatal shout of " 4 60s pEHpcrctu' " is
heard. 1t becomes an agitated question
whether he shall be allowed to return to
lllt lllIbilts II II NNNll SCI ltu0lN NbhbA''A
whether the result of the war may not be
to find France a republic, and the London
Times forcibly remarks that Napoleon has
himself in q fortnight more undermined
his throne than his enemies could have
done in a score of years.
Our recent dispatches indicate French
victory. If such should prove to be the
case it will be found that the tide will
again turn and the recent ardent Republi-
Leans will be again Jealous Imperiali.
So it will be when the war is closed.
Should the pride of France be humbled
and Ter banner trailed in the dust, Louis
| Napoleon, if he returns at all, will return
to disatfected people and shaking
| throne.
But if without single tangible advan-
tage secured, without n single step gained
| toward the coveted Rhine frontier, with
! fearful loss to his armies and terrible adj
dition to the already grievous national debt
of France, he nevertheless returns, having
! hUmbled the black eagle of Prussia and in.
scrihed onother glorious though profitless
war on the annals of France, he will be
hailed with delight and find his dynasty
made tirmer than ever over a people witt
whom the long list of sorrows that follow
in the train of a bloody war are fully com
/ pensated for by the one word-glory.

stormed, and there, in sight of two big ar

hand on it, winked his eye, and then rode
away at his papa's heels If this incident
moved the whole French army to weep
think of the oceans of juvenile tears that
Abbott and only Abbott can bid gush. Let
'em gush, rs Mr.. Ward, under the circum-
stances, would have said. Our lads have
