A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com.
nlercidl writing from New Oastle, Henry
county, Ky.; gives a description of Dren-
non Springs and the Western Military In
stitute which once existed there under the
superintendency of Gen. Bushrod r. John
son, now of the University Of Nashville.
He says:
Among the Faculty of the Institution in
January, 1852, 1 find the name of Games
G. Blaine, A, NJ, Professor Of Latin.
This was the present distinguished and
genial Speaker Of the United STATES House
of Representatives, whom / was glad to
associate with that charming and desolate
old place.
About the year 1856 the military school
was removed and incorporated with a
Tennessee institution at Nashville. Then
Dreunon was dead Bat before 1 part
company with the Military Institute fin
ally, let me quote the following tribute to
Gen. Bushrod r Johnson, which its
author, one of bis former pupils, read to
me the other day at Louisville. ''Old
Bush. it seems, was the familiar title
given to the principal by his ''cadets,"
with some of whom, it would seem, he
was not, because of his strictness of dis
cipline, very popular.
TO MAI. n. BUsHRoD R JOHNSON, c A.
There's many q starrisr name, "Old Bush, )" than
thine,
Gone clamor'd down the corridors Of fame;
But thine has lofty port and stately frame,
And doth with many q memory entwine
Of days when morning life was ruby wine.
Cadets who hated thee, behsld the fame
Thy valor kindled, glorify thy name,
And recognized nobility divine.
Then first they felt. that in thy rigid rule
Unkindness was by thee nor meant nor thought,
But meet such discipline for battles school
For Oft times such was gold which triumph
brought
The South hiss had some soaring genius brighter,
But never truer soldier, steadisr fighter.

department of music, French aud German,
and Prof A. 81. Buchanan in the depart
ment # mathematics, both of whom are
distinguished in their respective spheres.
The location Of the school, away from the
hustle and confusion of the city, in the
midst of the verdlnt foliage surrounding
the home which the magic touch of its Ia
mented master made SO beautiful; the
heal,hfulness of its situation; the complete
ness of the course of instructions; and the
exceptionally high grade of the school, all
combine to make Greenwood one of the
most superior institutions for the education
of Young ladies in the whole country

Education of the CoIored People

The author of the following
note is one of the most re-
spected colored citizens of Nashville.
He assures US that he never received better
treatment than at the hands of the white
citizens Of Pulaski and of Giles county
generally, and as far as he could learn, ev-
cry worthy colored man resolves like treat
ment from that people:
To the Editors of the Union and American:
As the education and improvement of
any portion of the citizens of our State
must necessarily be of paramount import
auce at all times and on all occasions, /
desire to say a word about some of the COL
ored citizens of Giles county. Finding
themselves without school to which they
could send their child: en-, and being un-
willing to wait any longer for one to be
opened for their benefit by the powers
that be, they organized society, and by
voluntary and cooperative effort, opened
for themselves a school, employed
teacher, and carried it on for three months,
without single cent frcm any source to
aid them. 1t is true they had to charge a
small fee for tuition. The good accom-
Pushed, the amount of proper instruction
impaired, is subject that it does not be-
come me to speak Ct in detail One thing
is certain, these efforts are worthy the
imitation of our people in other localities.
Who will not say that such work will &C
complish more for our amelioration than
all the railroad excursions that have been
gotten up by any portion of our citizens.
1t is true, some refuse to work with the or
ganizstioD, yet believe that the better class
is doing great and good work. 1t is
headed and led on by our former towns
man, r. Harris, who ia alive to our best
interests. The school was taught in Pu-
laski, and contained about 20 pupils, but
many of the pupils were from the country.
1 learned that some oolored men were
doing very we'll on farms in the different
civil districts in the country, and some
owned farms. Hoping that these desulto-
~ statements may stir up a spirit of emu
lation among our people, await the de-
velopments of time, DANIEL WADKiNs.

PrikcnerReturned.

Officer Watson, who left here few days
since TO convey Douthet, the Franklin
county murderer, to Winchester, returned
yesterday, bringing the prisoner back with
him, the jail at Winchester being deemed
insecure, in consequence Of Douthet
having twice escaped from that place. The
murder for which Douthet was il dicted
was committed in 1869, the man killed be-
ing an inoffensive negro man. Ths former
owner of The murde sd man joins the State
il the prosecution, and is unwilling that
the prisoner should be furnished another
opportunity to escape. The night Douthet
remained in the Winchester jail when car
ried there by Mr.. Watson, the institution
was strongly guarded in order to prevent
any possibility of escape.

Fatal Results.
A large barbscus and bran dance was
given Friday in Jamison's Grove, near
Rock Hull, Williamson county, by some Of
the oldest and most respected citizens.
Everything passed off pleasantly during
the day until late in the evening, when
some Of the young bloods got their metal
up and desired to show their fighting
qualities. Several controversies and draw
ing of knives took place, and then COM
promised, but finally about ten or twelve
got into dispute about money matters
The party wal about equally divided
when the general knock-down and drag
out commenced, which resulted in the
killing of Mr.. Fount Robb by Mr.. Lit.
Gwin of Ovens ID Roads, who broke the
formers skull with a large stick. Mr..
Robb lived until O'Clock, Saturday morn
ing. He leaves wife and children, and
was a son-in-law of Esquire McMahan.
Gvin had stand on the ground, and had
been selling drinkables all day. Several
of the party engaged in the fight got
bruised and cut up, bat will soon recover.
This occurrence is sadly regretted by the
managers of the picnic and the neighbors
generally. Echo.

Ellie Douoyan,s Eunerai,

The funeral of the loved Ellie, yester-
day morning, was one of the largest and
most solemn ever seen in Nashville, and
the scenes at the church and at the GENET
cry fully justified all We said concerning
the deceased. The services were perform
ed by Bishop Feehan, who spoke of the
deceased in such manner as to draw tears
from all eyes. At the cemetery, when the
grave which held all that is mortal of the
dear girl was closed, her associates formed
a circle and kneeliug, offered up prayers
for the repose Of the soul Of their young
companion, amid sobs aud cries, the heart
swelling with grief, and tears flowing in
torrents. The scene was indeed sad and
solemn one.

at the markethouse.

A noisy war of words was fought at the
markethouse yesterday morning between
W. Murphy, white man, and O negro
named Dick Stratton. The circumstance
attracted a large crowd of spectators, but
the interference of Policeman Mansfield
suddenly terminated hostilities and dis
persed the assembly. The beligerents
we're arrested for creating nuisance, and
the Recorder will have to say what their
folly will cost them.
