Horse Killed.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon as
Mr.. John Beaumau was driving in his bug
~ across the railroad track at the Chatta-
nooga depot, his horse SHE'D, and in so do
ing caused the buggy to collide with the
buggy of Mr.. Saml, II. Murphy. This up
set Mr.. Beauman's buggy and at the same
time threw him out into the street; his horse
became frightened and darling down Church
street ran against an express wagon belong
ing to a cOlored man named James Hill,
who was driving out Of the depot yard into
the street. One Of the buggy shafts pierced
Hills horse in the left breast near the region
Of the heart and the other entered the ami
mails mouth, from the effects of which the
horse died in about half an hour. Mr..
Beauman's buggy and harness were badly
wrecked, though he himself sustained no
injury. As soon as pierced with the shaft
Hills horse fell down and rose several
TINES besides turning over before death
came to his relief.

Single copies cents; to dealers at 81
cents per copy.
This is an advance over the rates of 1871,
10 which we have been driven by an imper-
alive necessity, 1t having been demonstrated
in our experience that the price heretofore
charged is altogether inadequate to the out
lay and expense incurred in the publication
of such papers as we have been issuing from
the city Of Nashville Assuming thai We
win not, in justice, be expected to publish
paper OF clear loss to ourselves, and also
assuming that only very small proportion
Of the public have even the most re-
mote conception Of what our ex-
penses really are, as compared with
what they were before the war, it viii be
appropriate TO explain that every item for
material and labor is enhanced from one TO
two hundred per cent, while some of them
are increased eight and ten times beyond
what they were In 1850 and go. Then
the Nashville publisher paid ont per week
less than five hundred dollars, which in
Guided all his expenses, while now the week
~ expense Of publishing the UNION AND
AMERICAN and Repubtte0n Banner, each,
will average two thousand dollars, and 1t is
all cash. The workman mus be paid as
soon as the work is done.
Since the year 1871 began, We have, by
doubling our telegraph expenses, Increased
the volume Of Geographic report to ten
thousand words daily-that is, by mourning
this additional outlay, we have been ad-
mitted as members Of the Western Asso-
ciated Press, so that now the people Of
Nashville, who read our papers, get the
same telegraphic news received by New
York, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and
all the leading cities of the United States.
We feel assured that our patrons viii
justify us in advancing the rates Of subscrip-
ton as above given, since II is absolutely
necessary 70 sustain the expense Of publ
cation. j. o. GRIFFITH g. Co.,

Critical Condition.

James Baker, whose leg was crushed day
before yesterday on the Northwestern Rail
road at Waverly, arrived here yesterday
evening, and it is thought his leg will have
to be amputated. DR.. Eve, who went to
Waverly for that purpose, came back with
him, and will not take the leg off so long as
there remains chance Of saving it. The
body Of Patrick Farrell, who was killed yes
terday at Gardeners Station, was also brought
here for interment. Owing to the fact Of
the body having been brought here on the
same train with Baker, it was reported that
there had been a serious collision yesterday
on the Northwestern road, the officials Of
which deny any such accident having taken
place.

Between I and o'clock yesterday even
ing as Mr.. VIM. jackson and Thos. Parhes,
Esq, were passing along South Market
street, they saw the door Of j. Lumsden e.
Co.'s store standing open but saw no light
inside. Having called one of the clerks Of
ton of the door showed that the hasp,
which had been fastened with straight nails
instead of screws, had been priced of. A
careful search was then made by the gem
tlemen and two policemen, but no person
found in the storerOOm and nothing re-
moved. II is thought the parties were
frightened away before they had time to
steal anything or break the safe lock.

United Prayer Meetings.

These meetings have been greatly blessed
during the week, begetting a spirit of en-
quiry among many Of advanced years, who
have been callous to the duties Of religion.
While the quiet seriousness which has pre-
vaded them, is free from all exaggerated
feeling,it has also made them most fitting
place for the birth of religious love in the
hearts of children, many of whom have
been impressed with sense of their world
illness and converted from sin. These
meetings have in other respects been con-
duciye of much good to our community,
In harmonizing the feelings of denomina-
tons, oyerturning the prejudices that pre-
vail to so large an extent, and breaking
down the sway of bigotry; 80 that the unity
of Christian spirit and action will be sure
to leaves lasting influence on the purity
and love Of our churches. We hope to see
the good work carried on in unceasing ef-
forts by our church members, who scarcely
realize the unnumbered benefits that flow
from this source Of Christian duty.
