to Gen. Battle, of the City Hotel, stating
that in company with near forty others he
would be in cur city on the 18th or 18th.
The party reached the city on the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad yesterday
evening, and are comfortably qusrtered
and sumptuously entertained at the City
Hotel. They are solid men, composed for
the most part of farmers, with some first

their experiences and energies in beautfy-
