NOT A sECTARIAN CANDIDATE.

The Golden Age is responsible for
saying that r%eligiOnists of all sccts and
parties can support Greeley. He is IA
religious man, but not a sectarian
bigot. He has always favored both
political and religious freedom. He is
a Protestant of the most liberal school,
but has always favored justice and
right toward Catho les as well as Prot
e>tants. He and Bishop Hughes, dur
ing the life of hat prelate, were al
Ways intimate friends. The Catholics
Of the country can make no objection
to him which would not apply to Mr..
Coifax, General Grant. or any other
candidate for high office. The opposi-
ton of MIR. Greeley to the Know Moth
ing party, in part because they pro-
>crlbed Catholics, has not been forgot
ten by them. Mr.. Greeley does not
ask the support of any one on account
of his religion: but certainty no one
III refuse to vote for him on
of his liberation. He is known by ali
to be a man of pure Lille and temperate
habits. 1t is said that as he does not
drink be will not be voted for by those
who do. This Is a mistake. Thous-
ands of men who cannot overcome the
appetite L drink in themselves, have
the greatest respect for those who can.
In selecting a man for a great public
they will prefer a man who does
drink to one who does. One of the
most valuable traits of Mr.. Greeley's
character is his example and advice
apon this subject. Certainly clergy
men and members of churrhes will
object I o HIM on o OF his
temperate habits and teachings. All
citizens may rely upon II
he will never be seen i'll the
streets of Washington or in any other
city in an Intoxicated condition. This
assurance cannot be given to every
candidate who aspires to the Presi-
iency.

The Augusta Exchange.

The Augusta Exchange was formally
opened Wednesday, the 9th inst. The de-
sign is 10 create a board there expressly for
the sale of Southern stocks, bonds and Sc
CuritieS. The design is sustained by the
fact that there are but che or two informal
boards in all of the South, aad at none Of
them is there the regular call of Southern
securities contemplated at Augusta. The
accumulatiOnS that formerly sought invest
ment in slaves now demand other outlets,
must continue to do so, and will originate
new enterprises with the greater prosperity
Of the country. The cotton business that
is now transacted in New York, 1t is claim
ed, can be better transacted where the cot
ton is, while the commissions and broker
age paid by Augusta to New York
any single year would support the
Augusta Exchange fer i've, and
leave Southern capital for homo use. Then
more exact statistical information will be
collected, and individuals will be better in
formed. The grain and produce business
is connected with that Of stocks and cotton.
The plan is comprehensive one, and
seems to be vigorously seconded, but the

Street Car Drivers on a Strike.

Some little excitement was created yes
terday morning upon the fact being made
known that the drivers of the South Nash
vile street cars were on strike, and the
cars had stopped running. The strike,
however, proved TO be of short duration.
1t appears that the managers insisted on ex-
tending the length Of time the men were
required to be on duty, without increasing
their wages, which is only SLIGO per day.
The drivers refused to do more work IN
less their per diem was raised accordingly,
and hence the strike. In a short time,
however, the managers withdrew the de-
mand insisting upon an extension OF the
days work, and the drivers being satisfied,
pitched in upon the old arrangement, and
at he present time of writing all is quiet ct
the YrOnt. The labors of the drivers are
arduous, anG 10 require them to do more
work for the sane amount of money, is
spreading it on pretty thick.

Opening Of Church Street.

The first part of last week in the UNION
AND AMERICAN was an article in reference
to the widening Of Church street east of
the Chattanooga depot. Most of our read
ers doubtless regarded this scheme as uto-
plan. Since then we have agitated the sub
iect, showing the advantages secured and
tie Inducements ITO prOperty-bOlders in this
street for such aktiOn. Nor have our efforts
proved totally us iese, for this street west
from Vine, possibly beyond the Chatta-
nooga depot, is b be opened. From Vine
to the Chattanooga depot all the owners of
real estate, with the exception of the Mel
olson House, hay e consented to the street
being widened te IN feet on each side, which
will make q thOroughfsre fifty feet wide
between the pavements. So anxious are
some that it is proposed, but not vet deCid-
ed, to widen the south side of Church from
Spruce to the depot twenty feet. To secure
this enterprise, the property-holderg have
addressed petition to the Mayor and CITY
Council to preside for the opening of this
by an ordinance, agreeable to an act of Feb.
p, 1856. This law, as a law, is equitable
and beneficial 70 al parties. The peti ion
will be before the Board foc lis action to-

CRIME.
A Few Facts from the Proceedings of
Judge FliDDin's Court

A Few Facts from the PROCEEDINGS OF
Judge FliPpin's Court.
The hanging of Dan. Smith, which ON
dispatches from Jackson said was to take
place on Friday, the 21st inst, is not to be
effected until the 18th, according to the
records Of the court. Next Friday, then, is
The day. Smith is sentenced to be executed
for killing young MerriWether over wear
ago. He killed him by striking him
twice on the head with a fence-rail. Smith
says he struck him only once, but the marks
on the dead boys skull showed that he
must have been struck twice. Smith is
making preparations for his death, while
the Sheriff is making preparations, for it
also. The lawyer that defended him has
interested himself earnestly in getting I'D
petition to obtain reprieve, which he took
to the Governor at Nashville. The result
of his charitable efforts are not known.
On the second of August next there are
three persons to be hung in the jail-yard of
Shelby county for having committed muir
der. They are: Early j. Eason, who shot
l4yleS, in the lower part of the county
about a year ago; the parties were coming
from picnic at the time. John White, the
black who made that historic stand against
vast odds On Presidents Island, and killed
three of his foes rather than yield to the
law. Charles Clinton Is the third vic
tim. He was sentenced to death for
killing his wife in back room of the Web
ster block, some months ago. During the
week the following convictions were happily
had: j. w. thurman alias "Black-
hawk" false pretenses, three years;
Charles BOutaH, larceny from the
person, ten years; Montgomery Wells,
horse stealing, fifteen years; Joe Leslie,
larceny, ten years; Henry Lewis, larceny,
ten years; Alvin Whitehead, larceny, one
year: Thomas Ryan, larceny, one year; Sam
EweI, larceny, one year. Judge Flippin
sentenced them esterday-MempbiS Ap-

A PLACE FOR LONG LINERS.

Attakapas is noted for the large nambeI
of old people to be found within her bord-
ers, many of whom reach the age of ninety
or one hundred years. 1t is seldom, how
ever, that one meets so many old people as
are to be found upon the plantation Of
Aessrs. Charpentier and Como, just below
PattersOnville. While we visited there, re-
Gently, Mr. Charpentier pointed to an old
gentleman, who came tottering along with
a large stick Of wood upon his shoulder,
and we we're surprised TO learn that he was
uinety-tWO years of age, and
astonished to hear that it was only recently
that he performed the feat of walking from
there to VernilliOnville and back, distance
of nearly one hundred and fifty miles. His
name is Joseph Collin, Frenchman by
birth, and he has retired upon a tract Of
land in that vicinity for about thirty years
so long, in fact, that in bis dOtase he con-
Guided that il belonged to him, although q
planter had kindly suffered him to remain
there for Charity's sake. For time be was
sheltered only by wagon, which he had
converted only into a kind of house. The
wind finally blowing this down, he removed
to cabin near Mr.. Charpentier's residence.
Being very industrious he still manages to
make his own livelihood.
The second curiosity there IS an old
African negro, who is about one hundred
and five years Of age. His wife is about
eighty-fve years of age, and Mr.. Charpen-
tier bought both of them previous to the
war for $500, as they begged him to do so,
that they might have home.
Besides this old negro couple, he showed
us an old negro preacher, who must be
seventy or eighty years of age, whose
mother still lived on that place, being over
one hundred years OF age, and several
others who would be considered old PEOPLE
in any other country than this.
Mr.. Charpentier is both kind to and
proud Of the affection of these old people
for him, and they, like most of his former
servants, viii probably die on his place

DEAR Tom: promised long ago that
when next left my quiet home in the
country to visit this great Babel of town,
I would send you description of the latest
and most remarkable evidence of New
York style and wealth. Well, fate or luck,
whichever you may call it, has landed me
in the lap of both, which, translated, means
the Grand Central Hotel. By George, it
beats all What with endless rooms, fur
nished with Oriental splendor, the paint
ings, satin furniture, downy carpets, music
and the saloons and corridors filled with
throDgs Of lovely women, one can readily
imagine himselfin Paradise. And then the
dining rooms! What with the silver, daz-
zling china, and the delicious smell from
what looked to me like a thousand different
dishes-I forgot to eat. Oh, Tom, I'd like
to stay here forever.
The foregoing part of letter was found
by one Of our employees, and goes to show
the vivid impressions made upon strangers
by New York enterprise.

From an attentive correspondent at Con-

this season was received at that depot on
Friday Est. A car load of 10000 TBS was
shipped yesterday. Our correspondent

acres, producing twenty-five bushels per
acre. There are other fields of good WHEAT
in this neighborhood, nearly equal to this,
and one especially that is a close rival as to
quality and quantity-when decided will
