The UnfyersEty Series.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
viii you be kird enough to correct O
slight error in your kindly notice If the
fact that Mrs. Weber, of the Edgefeld Fe-
male Seminary, had discovered what is in
of Edgefeld, viz: that our children should
use oUT books-viz: you say the State OF
Tennessee, where I authorized you to say,
that in four weeks past the University
Series of School Books had been adopted
By teachers and school missioneJs in Mid
die Tennessee, sufficient to justify the be-
lief that before Christmas they would be
used, in part or all, in more than five hun
dred schools. This only in Middle Ten
nessee, in few counties close around
Nashville. O. D. Elliott,
Gen. Agent Univ'ty Pub. Co.

Auouiet ut the PenttentIary.

In conversation with officers and guards
of the PenitenEary yesterday, We learn
that the plot to effect a general delivery
from that institution, on the pant of the
convicis, and which was prevented by the
hrmness and boldness Of guard, was pref
ty vide spread. TIE quick and summary
manner IN which the scheme was thwarted
will in future, no doubt, prove a salutsry
lesson. Everything is quiet at the Peni-
tentinTy now, no spirit of mCtiny or in
subordination being apparent.

liberal hearted than the rest, proposed
that if they had Bct sufficient means to 90
to the hotel for the night, they would tske

suddenly interrupted them by asking,
''What day of the month it was? He WAS
told by some one standing by, and he then
remarked: "Gen;lemen, I'm bleegad tn

1 desire to inform the School Commits

ty that they can get these books CT any
book seller in Nashville, on the terms Of

under the resolution.
But in addition to this, the report, under
the circumstances, compels the people to
buy and use the books now on your list.
As many Commissioners have declared
that they will not use the present books, 1
r.pest to them in this form, the offer made
before. 1 also trust that the citizens of
