from 81 to per cent. on the amount of
their insurance As an example the follow

these companies were held by workingmen

the fruits of a lifetime's toll. The induce

FROM NASHVILLE,

A correspondentiwriting from Nashville
Tennessee, under date Of October. 10Th
says:
Yesterday we had a splendid turnout of
workingmen. There were nearly two
thousand in the procession, and Of that
number but five were white men. We
marched through the principal streets, had
several banners, and two bands Of music.
William Cobb, a white man, was our Chief
Marshal On tomorrow night there will
be meeting in the city, and on Thursday
night there will be two meetings in the
18th district, one for our white and one
for our colored citizens the whites to re-
organize Nashville Labor Union, No /,
the other for the purpose of organizing a
new union. Strange as it may seem, our
colored citizens are more active in the
cause than the whites, and exhibit far more
independence Of capital and party in
f1uence
There is considerable feeling here npOn
the subject Of employing convicts as com
mon labOrers, and we are taking all advan-
tage Of the agitation we can. We are
leaving no stone unturned TO get our
workingmen to act together in the pre-
misses,
