From the above figures it will be seen that GU
rivals in trade far behind us, that the popular
ity of what is known our New FAMILY sewing
Machine is steadily and largely increasing. We
are not SO vain to suppose that these large
sales are due to superior bushes capacity SO much
as to the merits of machines, as well as the
observation of those who buy and use, and ar
personally interested in comparing the merits of
the different machines before making selection
Few have denied, in fact it has been the habit OF
sewing machine dealers, till recently, TO speak IN
laudation of manufacturing machines, out In
the same breath to deny the merits OF our ma
chine for family sewing. 1t was usial TO say to
lady looking for a sewing machine, II, MADAM,
you want manufacturing machine, the singer is
the BEST" if we made one kind OF machine oniy'
and had no Family sewing machine at all, though
our Nelg Family greatest triumph, ana
even then the favorite, ready ana never weary
ing seamstress of many we'll regulated household
Our machine, however, told it's own story In the
great range and variety of excellent and beautiful
family sewing which is capable OF DONG, and the
sales show that its story was not entlrely disDe-
lieved would not have sold last year one hum
dred and trenty-seven thousand, eight hundred and
thirty-three machines being more than twice as
many machines there words In the English
language. and all this has been accomplished with
little aid from exhibitions and falrs, excepting
My the worlds fair-constltuted by the homes of
the people-where we received the great d1rdTd
the highest sales.

UNFAIRDEALING.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
KNOXVILLE, TENN, March %, 1872.-
Your McNIinn correspondent, 30. W"
writing upon the educational question of
McMinn county, has, unwittingly let Us
hope, done Ssi injustice to another school in
Athens by not noticing it, or even mention
ing its name. / gravely suspect that the
shrewd gentleman intended to give the
school which he brought so prominently in
TO notice an advertisement in the UNION
AND AMERICAN. The school be failed TO
mention is the well known one under the
intelligent and efficient management of Mrs.
Mary Sullins, the wife Of the veteran minis
ter, Rev. Timothy Sullins, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. The one be so
particularly alluded to, and which he makes
so very prominent, is under the auspices Of
the Northern Methodist Church. Why did be
not tell your readers that this same institu-
ton is intended for both negroes and whites?
He ought to have done that. The whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, is a good
old maxim. Yours.

.THE NASHVILLE DAILEEs.' .


Most OF our Tennessee exchanges have
come to us, OF late, replete with denuncia-
tions. clothed IN more or less bitter terms,
applied to the Nashville Daiies, and we
have been asked why our voice has not been
raised, in chorus with the Outburst Of in
dignant protest. We have been silent be-
cause we have no right to denOunce any
man for legitimately exercising his unques
'tionable rights over his own property, and
because, however much We may feel the
loss of the exchange, we have too much
pride to show it by public exhibition. We
have frequently declined an exchange with
weeklies because they were not the sort we
cared to read. The right to do this, has
never been denied us, and if daily thinks
an exchange with weekly an unequal and
burdensome one, there is no legal nor moral
obligation demanding its continuance. As
a question Of right there is no room for
argument. As a question Of courtesy,
each one will argue it in accordance with
his own views and impulses; but it is not
for us TO probe the motives Of our Nash
vile contemporaries, nor to pass upon the
considerations which prompt their actions,
and hence our failure to Join in the cry
against them.

TO let you know how we are getting along
in the mountains. In the first place, we
are blowing and sowing with the eXpecta-

notwithstanding we see in the papers that
there will be a general mash-up some time

but if it does not, we intend to have some
thing to eat.
Cookeviiie, our county seat, is improving

no distant day, the Tennessee and Pacific
and Southwestern railroads will be running
to it. Bloomington, a pretty little village nine

tried them) in the State, is improving more
rapid than any town or village that l know
of in the mountain country. The medical
qualities Of the springs are beginning to
have widespread reputation. The village
is being settled by good and substantial
citizens. Mr.. BOckman, Mr.. Jarnagin. and
Mr.. Gentry are now putting up a new store
house, and will soon have it ready for the
reception of goods. Heretofore the accom-

himself killed.

THE DECAY OF POL,TENEss.

In nothing is the decay of politeness more
remarkable than in the relation between the
sexes, Men and WOm6n are antagonistic as
well as familiar, We viii start no vexed
questions to account for this antagonism,
but suggest that 1t must be in some sort the
result of steam and smoke, since 1t began
with the railways. In Olden times-not so
very old, either-when the stage-coaches
were our best and readiest means of travel
ing, woman commanded the care and atten-
ton of the gallant. In case ofrain, they relin-
Guished their comfortable inside places and
mounted the roof In favor of the ladies'
Coats, cloakS, umbrellas-eVery available
convenience was at their service. They
were waited upon at inns, handed in and
out of the coach, assisted with their luggage
taken care of, in short. Now, the sight
Of a woman in a railway carriage sends the

ment to compartment until the obnoxious

absent, and be gains that luxurious divan

those ladies who have taken to cigarettes,
may find more favor with the wary mascu-

life and the civilities of society are equally
lost in smoke. Men herd together in clubs,
where the pipe, emblem Of low life in the
last generation, is the calumet of peace of

Dan SickIes' Radical Reform.
NEW YORK, March 26-The rise in Erie
was the sensation of the day, yesterday.
No such excitement has been witnessed be-
fore on Wall Street for years. Numerous
instances are reported of negOtiatOrsl in the
stock having made immense sums. The
number of shares that changed haI ds is
estimated at two hundred thousand. The
opening price of fifty-twO rapidly advanced
in. the morning, and under the stimulus of
orders to buy, telegraphed from Europe, the
price had reached sixty at the close. The
World editorially says, Jay Gould alone
netted profit of So, ,240, 900, and expresses
its suspicious that yesterdays business was
but feature of the great plot of the Sick
les combination to make colossal fortunes.
Another Day of Speculation.
The excitement in Erie was resumed this
morning. The transactions have been enor-
mouse, probably aggregating twOIhundred
thousand shares. The advance is due to
tile transactions of London buyers.

A Railroad War.

A bill authorizing site for depot of the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company
on Sixth Street, between Pennsylvania
Avenue and the Canal, came up as unfin-

prevailed over the bill, it being regarded as a
contest between the Pennsylvania Central
and Baltimore and Ohio companies, the
latter company desiring a share in the ac-
commOdations and have the site granted for
grand Union Railroad Depot.
After considerable tillibustering Mr.. Muir
cur presented a concurrent report on the
bill for the removal of causes to the United

the tljbustering was resumed.

Important Railroad Bond Decision.


Near Five Millions Immediately In
VOIVeds
ST. LOUIS, March 26.-The Supreme
Court yesterday decided that the Ordinance
passed by the Convention of 1865-provid-
ing that there shall be levied and collected
from the Pacific Railroad, the North Mis-
souri, Railroad and the Iron Mountain
Railroad companies an annual tax of 10
per cent. on their gross receipts from Oct. !,
1866, to Oct. l, 1868, and fiften per cent.
thereafter, to be applied by the General
Assembly to the payment of the principal
and interest due and to become due on the
bonds of the State issued to those roads-is
a constitutional and legitimate exercise of
the power of taxation, The defence had
argued that it was an impairment of con-
tEaCt.
The Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
Railroads are interested in this deCison.
Their present outstanding Indebtedness is
S1S,291 900; their gross earnings since 1856
have been S34, ga, asa, which would yield
from the Iron Mountain S755, ,292, the North
Missouri 81, AIS, ,5S7, and the Missouri Pa
cific S2,5G3, ,53S, a total of S4,79S, Az, leav-
ing a balance 20 be collected in future of
S5,492, ,5S3 which would iigGidate the State
debt issued for the benefit Of these roads.
Tie case will be appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.
