Values huctuate wonderfully i'll New Or
leans. The proprietor Of Oaklank Park
race course wants to sell his tract Of land
to the city as site for an insane asylum,
and fixes the price at S125, 900. When
the assessment rolls We're made up last
summer, this same property was put down
at fifth of this sum, and we believe there
was grumbling even at that figure. This
is proof, furnished by an old and respecta-
bic citizen, that under Radical rule real
estate has appreciated four-fold, notwith-
standing the cutlery about financial ruin
staring the people in the face" We.do not
think however, this encouraging symptom
will justify the purchase Of the Oakland
course, when equally eligible places, at
greatly less cost, can be secured. The
city treasury needs q little rest and recu-
peration.

prominent State officers during the past

especial notices have any particular sig
nifcance, but they establish the fact that
there is mob element in New Orleans
which would resort to open or covert muir
der, if the authorities were not strong, and
determined to bring all such villains to
justice. We think the entire community
has reason for congratulation that this
wholesome fear controls the would-be
assassins.

Rock Civ Guars,s

The first grand ball of the Rock City
Guards, which came off last evenin at the
st. Cloud Hotel, was brilliant affair, and
the attendance of so many charming ladies
and well behaved young gentlem must
have been gratifying indeed to the officers
aud members Of the new company. The
dining hall, which was given up for the
dancing, was handsomely decorated with
flags and other devices fitting the occasion,
and the committee on decoration deserve a
vote of thanks for the taste displayed.
The committee Of reception consisted of
Maj Randall, Capt w 81 Davis, Capt 81
d D Eve aud Adjt R NJ Porter, all of whom
showed marked attention to the guests.
The floor managers comprised Lieut. G n
Driver, G NJ Downs, T n Tanner, j G.
Gillespie, John Z Ewin, Sergt Maj E E
Hooper, T w Lellyett, NJ S Black, c w
Currey and E D Patterson, and to their
credit, be it said, the entertainment psssed
off most agreeably. Lieut. a B Foster,
Lieut. j A Nancy, Lieut. B Armstrong,
Lieut. w Bass, Sergt W Il Mckee and
VIM o Patterson were the Committee of
Invitation. The ball was so successful
that 10 doubt the managers will be induced
to repeat it at some future time.

Our readers are familiar with the rascal
ity Of one "Col. S. Adams Lee" The fel
low has talent for raSc3lity, and is contin.
ually practiciDg his little games. He wa:
arrested and incarcerated in jacksonville
Ala, for theft, and it seems from the fol
lowing from the Jacksonville Republican
that the ruling spirit was strong in jail.
The Republican says:
S. Adams Lee, who was in iail here, car
ried on quite an extensive business n the
confidence line while imprisoned. He wrote
confidential letters to Groesbeck, of Ohio,
Trenholm, Of South Carolina, Gems. Gordon
and TOombs, Of Georgia, and others, repre-
senting that he was of the real Lee family:
that be was in distress, and that he had val
liable family relics which he would be COM
PEELED to dispose of If assistance in some
shape did not come. =
Each of the gentlemen mentioned were
taken in and remitted the noble Lee from
$75 to S35. Gen. Toombs authorized him
to draw on his factors for $35, but his let
ter came after Lee had left here, and the
General saves exactly that amount. The

.F.O.-BoUND FOR CONGRESS.
Immigration Of skilled Labor

The following item of interest relative to
the skilled laborers, we take from the Mem
phis Appeal of the 30th.
"Among the immigrants from Alsace are
many agriculturists and cotton and WoOllen
operatives and other artisans, who have
bad a thorough training, and personalities
for performing first-class work, 1t is well
known that the province of Alsace, with
Lorraine, has been the seat of the most ex-
tensive cotton and woollen manufactures in
France, and the drift of the population
from thence toward the United
States may prove of the ut
most importance to our textile
manufactures. In the province of Alsace
two hundred thousand bales OF the finest
Louisiana cotton have been consumed an
nually, yielding a manufactured product
valued at one hundred and fifty million dol
lars. The cotton fabrics of these Alsatian
factories are celebrated the world over.
Schools of design and of chemistry are es-
tsblshed there, and the industries are con-
Quoted with scientific skill unapproached
in any part of the world. No doubt the
American, as well as the English manufac-
turer, will take advantage of the political
revolution in Alsace, by securing portion
of that first-class talent 50 essential to the
production of all the finer classes of fabrics.
These are the sort Of people we want in
Memphis"

"Chiefof Police Athy yesterday received a

teller of the State Bank of Virginia, and
who in leaving left note asking for for

committing suicide. He is described as a
man 80 years old, feet 10 inches in height,
weighs about $50 pounds, dark hair, slight
mustache and goatee, and Of very gen.

ings was between $4,000 and $50. OOO.n

likely, have not received a similar dispatch
and now may know Mr.. Teller is worth

Tho New Church.

To the Editor of the Union and American.
We have reason to know that q great
many people connect the New Church
movement with modern spiritualism. This
is mistake. The New Church people are
trying to climb up the way opened by our
Lord, and if the people of Nashville, who
are thus in error about us, would attend cur
meetings, or read his books, they would
soon learn that Swedenborg did not teach
spirit rappings, etc; not "spiritualism;" but
Bibleism-the religion Of our Lord and Sa-
viour Jesus Christ.
Our doors are open to all, our seats are
free to the poor and the rich, and we give a
cordial welcome to all who desire to wor-
ship With us.

Will embrace the doctrine of the Atone
ment, and will give the New Church view

The river continues stationary at this
point with 10 inches on the shoals. Wealth

Capt. Sam Harrison, q. 8. Inspector,
returned from Paducah on Thursday night,

There are 80 inches in the river between

are able to load heavy.
The BurksVille arrived at Paducah
Thursday, loaded down to the guards.

siderably.
The Frank P. Graeey has just come of

hog chains. She is low all regular, as
straight as a shingle, and is chartered to

they had been running on their own hook.

The Memphis Register, sprightly eve

3Oth case Of mistaken suspicion which the
ardent officers Of other cities would do well

1.-TWO men, giving their names as Drake
and Wells, respectively, arrived in the city
vest erday, having in their possession fine
stallion, worth about $500, which they Of
fered to sell for the unprecedented small
sum of $3.50. This raised a suspicion in
the minds of the detectives that matters
were not as they ought to be with those
men, and they were accordingly taken into
custody. Upon examination it was found
that one Of the hind feet of the stallion,
which was originally white, had been dyed,
which served TO increase the suspicion al
ready entertained about the animal, and
the manner in which the suspected parties
became possessed of him. A satisfactory
telegram being received from Hopkinsville,
KY, where the parties are known, they
were Immediately released"
