C0rsO3a's Stellar oil
HIIeIQdI FOR IiIHJI3.H
ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

The proprietor OF this oil has for several years
ielt the NECESSITY Of providing for, and presenting
compounds which are sent broadcast over the
country, an oil that is SAFE and BRILLIANT,
riops and costly experiments, he has succeeded In
prSSytding, and n9T Sliers 20 the PRpliel ssch
should be used by every family .i,. ..
lsT, Because it is safe beyond a question. The
primary purpose in the preparation Of STELLAR
OIL has been to make 1t PERFECTLY SAFE,
thus insurlng the lives and property Of those who
use It, ilftifJ tt.f t. ai
I'D, Because 1t is the most BRILLIANT liquid H.
umlnator now known.
3D, Because it Is more economical in the long
run, than any of the dangerous oils and fluids
now in too common use. ed i. .i1.r .ti
9Th, Because 1t Is intensely BRILLIANT, and
therefore economical, giving the greatest posi-!
BILE light at the least expenditure to the consum-
er. Its present standard OF SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY will always be maintained, for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining
the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now
enjoys. iil n fu fnittl0fd
Toprevent the aduiteration OF this with the ex-
plosive compounds now known under the name OF
kerosene, &c, &c, isput up for family use In
stamped with the trademark OF the proprietor; 1t
cannot be tampered with between the manufac-
tnrer and consumer. None is genuine without the
STELLAR oil is sold only by weight, each can
containing five gallons OF six and half pounds

IMMIGRANTS FOR FRANKLIN
COUNTY,


The steamer America brought around
from Cincinnati party of substantial i'm
migrants from West Virginia who have
purchased the McCurdy farm near the
Decherd depot, Nashville and Chattanooga
railroad.
1t is not the least encouraging result of
our agricultural efforts IN directing atten-
ton of the undeveloped resources of the
State, that class of sturdy, reliable far
mers are being attracted to those splendid
grass and grain regions east of US, which
have heretofore been neglected by the
more speculative population who have
for years been crowding to the cotton
counties of the Western District OF pi-
oneering out into the vast prairie lands of
the Far West. The restless itching to
grow rich in a short time, so characters
tic of Americans, has prompted many q
Tennesseesn as well as strangers to leave
counties combining the greatest possible
natural advantages, in the vain hope to
better his condition. 1t was always true
tAat good healthy home, where steady
prosperity, and slow but sure wealth,
were the reward of honest industry, was
infinitely to be preferred to any speculative
venture into new fields however inviting;
and, now that the labor system of the
country has been SO thoroughly upturned
by the war, it is becoming every day
more eTident TO the thoughtful sgricul-
turist that his true policy is to secure, as
soon as possible, well watered grass
farm and turn his attention to stock
raising. Once thus established he requires
but few laborers, comparatively, and can
live independently. No region presents
greater inducements to such immigrants
than Middle Tennessee-snd we are glad
to learn from our West Virginia friends
that more of the same sort are making
arrangements to come. Let them come,
and join with the Swiss settlers who are
utilizing the water powers of our noun
tain streams and covering the mountain
sides with vineyards, andfere long such q
day Of prosperity will dawn upon US as
we have never before enjoyed.

FROM CHEATHANE.
To the Editors of the Union and American:


ASHLAND CITY, Tenn, April 7, 1871
Seeing in the peoples Paper" commu-
nications from various parts of the State
upon various subjects, / thought it would
not be too presumptious to say little
something about our unassuming county,
resting down here among the hills and
valleys.
On Monday our quarterly court met
and after trausacting the regular business,
the question!ofltaxing dogs coming up, the
court by very decided vote refused to
put tax on the canine species, 30 now
they can rival in the slaughter of the in.
nOcent sheep for at least one yeaI longer.
The question of levying..the school tax, 20
cents on the 800, was submitted to q
vote of the people on the 1st Saturday in
Jure next, which, it is hoped, will be
levied, as above all things we need a well
regulated system of public instruction in
this as well as in every county in the
State.
Our experience and observation teach
US that the tax payers have to do one of
two things, and there is no escape. They
either have to pay for the ignorance or
intelligence of the community in which
they live. If for intelligence, we have an
enlightened, heightened, moral commu-
nifty; if for ignorance, upon the
contrary, we not only have
ignorance, but all its concomi.
tant vices, as poor houses, houses
of correction, jsils and penitentiaries too
well attest. So we hope, for the benefit
of the rising generation, our people will
come up to the ballot box upon the day
of election and as one man vote for the
tax.
Mr.. W. 81. Stuart former sheriff of
our county, sustained considerable loss,
one night last week. Some member of the
light fingered gentry entered his room,
took his key out of his pocket, opened
bis trunk and appropriated to his own
use something over 81, 200, in greenbacks
and specie, and left for parts unknown,
leaving no trace behind him. Thus max
ing five robberies committed in our coun-
ty in the last few months. SUN.

SHELBYvILLg, Tenn, April B, 1871
Monday being our County Court day, the
hardy yeomanry began pouring into our
little city at an early hour, and by II
O'Clock the public square and contiguous
avenues were literally overlooking with
human beings-the largest crowd your
humble correspondent ever witnessed in
| Shelbyville- RAIDS, Scala
wags and Fifteenth Amendments. The
wind was blowing high, and dust most
disagreeable accompaniment was in
everybody mouth and eyes, and especial
| ly disagreeable to those in the habit OF
too often opening their mouths. Poll
tics was not the order of the day, as one
could easily detect, not having heard the
theme alluded to in all of or elbowings.
Fine stock, crop prospects, the weather,
dog tax and scarcity of money!. were
the principal topics. The hour of noon
was the signal for the appearances of
blood, which was demonstrated in
splendid array of the equine and bovine
species, being decidedly the most attract
i've feature of the day. Old Bedford may
well be proud of the progress she has
made in stock raising within the last few
years; beginning after the war with COM
paratively nothing, she is now approach
ing stand point but little below the
summit, which she will attain in few
years, with the same energy and stimulus
now manifest.
One of our stock kings shipped, few
days since, q calf to Mississippi, and
will ship another soon to Fort Scott,
Kansas, realizing profitable prices for
them. Our borders are rapidly extend
ing with the growth and prosperity of our
county. We can compare favorably with
any county in the State in the production
of fine horses, cattle, sheep and hogs,
and cordially invite competition, which
we will doubtless have as the reality of
our Agricultural and Mechanical EXPOSE
ton will be realized next fall. The site
of the old Fair grounds, on Green Hill,
with additions, has been selected for the
now association, and, by the way, a good
selection, being sufficiently near town
and convenient to water.

The dog tax question has been decided
in favor of the dogs, hence we may ex-
pect demonstration from them soon.
The sheepish ours are doubtless elated at
the contest, if we are permitted to judge
from their kno,Oing looks when one
meets them on the streets or elsewhere,
they look at you boldly and defantly, as

noble old county last week, where we
found the
METHODIST DISTRICT CONFERENCE
in session, Bishop McTyeire presiding,
who preached several times during his
stay, with great ability and effect. His
sermon on Sunday morning was mas
terly effort, proving salvation to be work
supremely of God, who operates gener-
ally through means but is not dependent
on these, and does not necessarily con-
meet pardon with them.
Rev. DR.. Kelley, of McKendree Church,
was also present one night, and delivered
a very able and effective address on Min
isterisl Education, which was well re-
Ceived and spoken of by the people
The business of the Conference was
transacted harmoniously and with
good results. One thing of special
interest was done; q committee was con-
stituted of one from each passionate to To-
cate parsonage for the District Presid-
ing Elder, and to solicit means to erect
and furnish the same. Also, a PROPOSE
ton was made to the Conference by the
Trustees of Fayetteville Academy" to
transfer the same, with seven acres at
tsched, to the NJ. E. Church South, to be
controlled and directed by the Tennessee
Conference. 1t Is located finely for a
school or college of high grade, and
with the arrangement proposed it will
prove brilliant success. The matter will
be duly considered, and all proper legal
steps taken to consummRte the plan.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
of the town were all out at the Methodist
Church on Sunday afternoon, and were
addressed by Bishop McTyeire in his OWL
inimitsble and impressive style, delight,
ing children, adults, parents and friends.
The Bishop closed and was followed by
bearing on officers, teachers, parents and
children. That night the Bishop preached
his closing sermon to a crowded house,
and the Conference closed

"a farmers club was organized on
Monday, and many of the most influen-

they msy find it an efficient agent in de.
veloping the great industrial interests OF

THE ROUTE TO CINCINNATI
Lebanon or GalIatin.


To the Editors Of the Union and American: .
l intended to have handed you for pub.
LEGATION, the following points used BY ms
in my remarks before the meeting in your
city, on last Saturday, on the subject OF
the proposed Nashville & Cincinnati Rail-
road, but did not have time to put them
in form before left for home. therefore
now send them to you:
/. The line via Gallatin will cost, in ita
construction from State line to Nashville,
in cash, about 81, 100000.
In order to grade it even, Davidson
county will have to give at least $500, 900
in bonds. Counting all that Sumner
county proposes to give, which is $4O0,-
600 in her bonds; snd cash the bonds of
Davidson and Sumner counties, suppos-
ing it could be done at 20 per cent. dis
count, you would have $640, 900 less than
the amount required to complete the
road from Nashville to State line.
2. The line via Lebanon, and thence
through the counties of Trousdale and
Macon, is already constructed and in ope-
ration twenty mine miles. The charters
of the Nashville and Cincinnati Railroad
and the Tennessee and Pacific, allow the
two, when constructed, to pass from the
point of intersection to Nashville on the
same track.
If the point of intersection be fixed at
Lebanon, the length of road to build to
reach the State line and at the same time
pass through the center of the counties
of Trousdale and Macon is about thirty
seven miles, and if the point of intersec-
ton be fixed, as it can very conveniently
be, at Big Spring, seven miles northeast
of Lebanon, then the distance to the
State line on the same route, would be
thirty miles. Now what are the resources
for this route. 1t would be entitled to
the State aid which is extended to it by
the general internal improvement law of
the State for the whole distance from
Lebanon to State line. 1870, 900
