fire down town last Friday night, one of the
Phoenix boys dropped the keys Of the store
IN which he is employed, and the door had
to be forced open next morning. He says
he has enough of fighting imaginary conAa'

hope it will be long before their services are
needed at real fire.

Examination of the Mary Sharp Col
lege, Winchester, Tenn.


To the Editor of the Union and American:
Your correspondent has not seen any
notice in your widely circulated paper of
the examination of this old Institution;
which is so extensively patrOniEed by many
different States, and Of which Tennessee
ans may be justly proud. 1t is the Oldest
female college in the United States, if the
curriculum Of studies Is the test of what
constitutes college.
The examination continued seven DAYS
and was the most rigid and thorough that
ever witnessed in any institution.
A thorough knowledge of pure mathe-
mates for graduation and the severest
problems in Robinson's University Edition
were solved with facility seldom equaIled
in any male school.
No one visiting this college can possibly
assert conscientiously that woman has no
talent for mathematics. The writer has never
found in any college better classes in either
Mathematics, Ancient Languages, Logic,
Mental and Moral Philosophy, and English
Analysis.
The examination of the department of
the President, English Natural Science and
Metaphysics, eVinced a rare acquaintance
with the principles of language obtained by
a rigid application of both analysis and syn
thesis, which could not fail TO be of emf
nent service in the unfolding of any sci
ence. 1t is but just to say that the prof.
cheney manifested in the department of An
Gent and Modern Languages is due largely
to the attention here paid to English Anal
ysis. The promptness with which
the classes in Natural Sciences
responded to general questions propounded
by the audience, showed such an acquaint-
ance with first principles as would render
the mastery Of these sciences only a ques-
ton of time. 1t was however in Logic,
Rhetoric and intellectual and Moral Phio-
s0phy that the young ladies manifested that
their training had not only introduced them
at the portals of the temple of knowledge,
but had led them to the very shrine of
Minerva, and had crowned their fair broWs
with wreaths from her alters. Whilst other
educators have been gravely considering
the question whether the doors of
male colleges should be opened to
young women TO afford them higher
facilities for culture, DR.. Graves aud his
coadjutors have proved that there exists at
the South no such necessity, but rather that
the grandest of such colleges should see to
it that their laurels pale not fore the fair
daughters of Mary Sharp.
Too much praise cannot be given Prof.
Steinhagen and his classes in music. A
new feature is introduced in this depart
ment. The graduating class in music is re-
CURED to study thorough bass and harmony
until they can not only read but also write
music with facility. Yours, truly,
OBSERVER.

NEW PUBLTCArIONS.


Get Thee Behind Me, Satan! A Home Book OF
Home Truths, by Olive Logan. New York
Adams, Victor & Co.
This is the last work of Olive Logan,
(now Mrs. Writ Sikes) and bears the marks
of her shrewd and discriminating intellect
throughout. 1t is written in an easy, col
loquiali style and strikes telling blows on
the little sins and follies of the day. Free
loveism, with all its corrupting and contain
mating adjuncts, is her special terror. True
love is not born in moment full-fedged,
and it never did and never can exist in a
union of short duration. The sentiment is
the growth of years and Of long scquaint-
anceship. This passing passions or fancy so
common among girls is condemned
as utterly subversiye of the best
interests of society. Girls should be taught
to be self-reliant and to have other objects
in life than the mere getting Of husband.
Before a girl should consent to marry the
adorable Charlie, or Billy or Josiah, she
should find out whether the young man is
equal to the weekly requirement Of board
bill for two, with prospect for more. She
thinks a girl should not marry for an es-
Enlistment, but so long as society is ar
ranged in such manner that the man is
the bread winner ana the woman chle1
duties is to attend to the domestic duties
and keep the house in order, it ought to be
a bylaw of the system that no girl shall en-
ter upon wedlock until she sees the house
she is to keep as well as the man she is to
keep it for. --r... 1
The whole work is full of sound, healthy
advice, and could be read with profit by
every man and woman in the land. 1t is
full of delightful episodes, and the interest
of the reader is kept up to the close. 1t is
fine summer reading, and we would advise
the spring going part of our population to
procure it before leaving the city. The va
ried experience of the author with all class
es of society, her extensive travel and her
sublime contempt for parUenue aristoeracy
and high regard for solid merit wherever
found, make the recital of her observations
of society exceedingly interesting and valu-
able.

Railroad Accident.

The eastward bound train on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
met with a serious accident yesterday.
About IL o'clock A. NJ, when they were
two miles from Concord, twelve miles from
Knoxville, bull was run over by the en-
CINE, throwing it and two baggage cars from
the track. The engineer, Charley Harvey,
and two passengers, colored, were injured.
The engineer had his leg broken balow the
knee, his shoulder dislocatef, fracturing
the bone. His wounds are danger
Gus, but it is thought that he will re-
cover, with proper care. One OF the other
two men Lad both legs broken, and the
other was injured in the abdomen. Both
of the day trains were detained about
twelve hours; the down train arriving here
at about o'clock A. NJ.
No blame is attached to the engineer, as
he had thirteen passengers cars attached,
and was going at full speed aud could not
possibly have checked the engine in time.
Every one speaks of his capability in the
highest terms.
The animal jumped on the track with his
head toward the pilot, and within afew feet

How the Chattanooga Negroes En-
loved the Fourth.

From the Chattanooga Times Of yester-
day we take the following:
Some of our colored citizens went TO Al.
lan's Springs, on the A. & G. r. R., to en-
ioy a Fourth of July picnic. They ar
rived on the ground about Of A. NJ, and
erected, by permission Of Mr.. and Mrs. Al
Ian, their booth for selling lemonade, cakes,
ETC., in that gentleman's garden. Several
white people Of the neighborhood were
there and Tore came IL during the morn
ipg-aboHt thirty in all as near as we can
learn. Some reports say these parties were
armed with shot guns, muskets, ETC., when
they first came; other reports say they re-
turned home for these implements after a
slight quarrel.
At all events a quarrel arose about the
time tie colored people were preparing to
leave, that eliminated ina general shooting
match between the parties, resulting in the
serious wounding of John Smith, white,
another white man (name unknown) of
Georgia, and Henry Preston, Albert Lee,
Albert Bead, and G. Wooten, colored, of
this city, were also wounded, but not Sc
rious!y. 1t is not thought the two first
named coloTed men or Smith can recover.
Smith we learn is a low scalawag and was
on the ground dealing in mean whisky.
We have had made to us as many as a
dozen different statements of this untortu-
nate affair. No two of these from the col
ored people agree with the other as to who
was responsible fer the commencement of
the fight. What we have written is, we
think, correct account Of the facts as far as
it goes.
The colored people went to the springs
for peaceable and lawful purpose. and the
fact that but one Of their assailants was
hurt, would indicate some preconcerted ar
rangement on the part Of the whites. A
shot was fred into the train as it moved of,
wounding brakeman.
We understand there will be affidavits
taken, of the most intelligent OF the color
ed people present; we presume with view
to using the affair for political purposes.
If we can judge fcOm what we can gather
after pretty patient inquiry, busthead whis-
Ky had more TO do with raising the row,
than race, color, previous condition, ETC.,
and politics, all combined.

SOME MORE sTRAws.

Among the latest defectiOns from the
Grant party is that of Col. John L. Rice
of Springfield, member of the Massachu-
sets Grant Republican Committee. MIR.
Rice has Withdrawn from that organization
and viii support Greeley.
The Oil City (Pa.) Register says: "We
want to live the balance Of our days in hon
est company, therefore we shall no longer
support Grant"
A writer from Clean, Chattaraugus
county, New York, says: 'tIn this town
the influential and leading Republicans are
all for Greeley, and win give him 100 ma
jority over Grant. Randolph has club Of
$50 Republican members. In Tortvlle
some Of the leading Republicans, men who
usually control at the polls, are for Greeley.
The same is true OF Hinsdale. In Frank
linville, fifty Republicans have already COM
United themselves. In Ashford, il is claimed
that nearly two-thirds Of the Republicans are
with us. In Red House a majority
are already outspoken and at work. In
Dayton, Greeley will get three-fourths of
the Republican vote. In Persia he will di-
vide the vote. South Valley will not give
Grant ten votes. 1 might go through every
town in the county and point out large
numbers of the best men in the Republi-
can party who are already commit eG.

ton there viii be stampede. 1 do not

Maj. Haggerty rendered efficient ser.
