LECTURE MISUNDERSTANDING to
special reques, Colonel Folsom will lee
ture tonight upon the subjects of Oddi-
ties of Southern Character; Personal
RecOllections Of an Excitement Seeker.
and the Unknown and Nameless Dead
Of the South.
He will introduce many new anec-
dotes and will give (by special request)
Brother Crawford's Farewell Sermon
and Experience in Obtaining Religion.
The lecture of Col. Folsom on Satur-
day night was undoubtedly mirth-pro-
voking. His delineation of oddities"
was mainly by the recital of anecdotes
and Of incidents Of which he had per.
sonal knowledge, both mainly drawn
from backswood life at the South. The
lecturers manner is very good, and his
language as elegant and chaste as pos
sible, allowing that the subject must be
treated in certain style, otherwise
the bulk Of the ludicrous Is wanting.
The illusions of the Colonel to the Con-
federate dead were not so elaborate or
pathetic as they might have been, but
nevertheless excited considerable inter-
est and were as good seed sown that
will bear fruit in due time.

Scarcely any preparations for plant
ing have as yet been made on the river
Several planters complain of the
scarcity of labor, and some, we sup
pose, find trouble in procuring supplies.
Hardly any plows have been started,
and altogether planting prospects look
rather backward for 1871.

Novel Jail.Breaking.

During the recent cold snap the in
mates Of the Jail were permitted to have
fires in old ovens and pans. This morn
ing it was discovered that all Of the in
mates of the lower cell at the eastern
end, one excepted, were. out and gone.
They had burned hole through the
floor (made of heavy sleepers) and re-
moved portion of the brick foundation,
and had thus gained their liberty. One
Of the fugitives is Judge Amos who
was charged with burglary at the Fe-
male Academy. A negro charged with
murder refused to leave. 1t is time, we
think, our prison regulations should be
changed somewhat, when prisoners can
burn holes through floor eight or ten
inches thick and in this way effect their
escape.

coon UNCURRENr MONEY.


How Far it Beasts Nothtng-The
County Finance COMMITTEES Turn
ing bad HtIls 60 Good Account.
One Of the vexed questions with tne
Davidson County Court for some time cast
has been how can the uncurrent money
belonging to the railroad fund OF the coun-
~ be disposed of 10 the best advantage,
and was finally settled by authorizing the
Finance Committee Of the court to dispose
of this money to the best possible sdvan-
tage. The uneurrent money was for q
time seemingly dead species Of Davidson
county property, consisting mainly OF
Bank Of Tennessee issues, and amounting
in the aggregate to something over $l4,-
600. The Finance Committee, acting un-
der the instructions Of the court, set about
seeing what could be done towards
turning this uncurrent money OF the
railroad fund to the best advantage, and
after making all necessary inquiries on the
subject, finally began to sell the bills for
the biggest prices offered. The last OF
these uncurrent notes was closed out yes
terday, and the prices realized in current
funds amount to $4,000. The money so
obtained is to be used in the payment of
past due coupons of the countys railroad
bonds, and while in fact but a small sum
in comparison to what would be required
for the liquidation of all these past due
coupons, will greatly add to the country's
present capacity for dischargiug this class
of its obligations. So far, 80 good.

Hicks, from Rutherford county, happened
to be in Nashville, and he was arrested
and brought before Sumner On the charge
of having committed an assault and bat
terry on negro in Rutherford county.
The counsel for the defendant argued that
as the offence, if any had been committed,
was committed outside of Davidson coun-
ty, Sumner had no jurisdiction. The
Squire was, however, memorable, the trial
went on, and Sumner bound the defend
ant over TO the Criminal Court, and in de-
fault of bail the accused was sent to jail.
Yesterday application was made to Judge
Guild for a writ of habess corpus. Judge
Guild granted the writ, and ordered the
release Of the prisoner. He also admins
tered quite a severe rebUke to Squire
Sumner for exceeding his Jurisdiction, and
did not allow him one cent of costs.
