To the Editors of the Union and American:
ETNA CoAL-YARD 287 CHURCH STREET,
NASHVILLE, April 3, 1872.-WIll you please
by publishing this note, correct the state
ment in your issue of this morning, "Fifty
COnuicts are to IeGUehere tomorrow morn
ina for the EtpG Coal Mines"
The Etna Coal Mines are worked by free,
honest LGborers, many Of them foreigners,
brought to this country under the guarantee
Of the proprietors, based on the invitation
of the Legislature of the State made to
emigrants, assuring them that no discrimi-
nation would be made against them. This
attempt to degrade and bring contempt on
their profession by mading them compete
with those, whose crimes SHOULD confne
them within the limits Of the prison wall"
(Which has been built at great expense) is
equally repUgnant to employers and en-
ployes, both preferTing to leave the State
than TO continue the business when they
can no longer sustain themselves and fami-
lies and remain faithful and honest citizens.
Respectfully yours, etc.

Proprietor Etna Coal Mines.

a correspondent writes from Trenton on
The I'd inst. as follows:
S'Stand firm for a united and well-dis-
eiplined Democracy. Let Cincinnati and
Philadelphia nominate. II viii then be in
the power of the Democracy to say which
of the nominees shall succeed, and also to
shape the policy Of the incoming admin
Stration. Stand firm!"
A gentleman sending US a club Of sub
seribers from BloUntville, writes under date
of the I'd inst, as follows:
"Ihe Peoples Paper is rapidly gaining
favor and becoming universally popular
with the Democratic and Conservative
masses Of East Tennessee, and especially
'ofOld Sullivan, whose fidelity to Democrat
&c principles has never wavered nor even
been suspected in the darkest hours ofRad-
cal rule. hear but one sentiment expressed
as to who shall be our next Governor.
Gov. Brown is the first, last and only choice
OF the people of East Tennessee. We look
upon him as being par excellence the model
statesman, soldier and gentleman of our
State. Sullivsn~coUnty would feel that she
had been deprived of cherished privilege
II she should be prevented from testiiiying
her admiration of him at the ballot box at
the next election"

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
The Struggle between Mamie Doug
las and SsIIna, In which the For
maP Wins,

The Struggle between Mamie Doug
las and SaIina, In which the For.
mer Wins.
The New Orleans Picdyale, of the Sd
inst. gives the following account of the two
mile race for Sl,200, in which Mamie
Douglas and Salina were the contestants:
First Heat-The start was undoubtedly
good, Mamie Douglas getting the best start
off; not enough in advance of SaliDa, how
ever, TO give any complaint Of unfairness.
Before reaching the quarter stake Salina
showed ahead, tapped and passed the pole
not less than three lengths in advance of
''AIiss Mamie" who, however, lost none of
her spirits, and though losing ground forced
Bacon's entry to make the first half mile in
50 seconds. Attaining the fist three-quar-
tiers and the first mile, Salina was at least
eight lengths in the lead. Time 1:475.
At the beginning of the second mile Nam
ME lost ground, but past the quarter post
about twenty lengths second best, and here
began to rally. At the half mile post the
distance was reduced fully one-half; at the
three-quarter stake it was slight and tight"
and at the finish Mamie had won the first
place, and sailed under the string the leader
by about six lengths in 1884,.
Second Heat-Three to two, and one
hundred to eighty were now the offers in
favor Of Mamie Douglas, and no large
takers. She had so far disappointed all ex-
pectatiOn that no disposition appeared to
stake against her, except upon such terms
as no one inclined to offer.
Mamie went off in the lead with big
advantage. At the first quarter she led
her opponent by eight lengths (time, 303).
At the first half Salina made fight for the
leading place, but passing the pole in $50
did not win it-continuing the struggle,
however, through the mile and coming in
in advance almost back and back. Time
so far, 1921.
Around the turn "ALiss Nannie'' began
to show she meant business, and gathering
up all her energies sailed past the quarter
mile post about a length ahead at pull.
At the half mile post Mamie was two
lengths ahead; at the quarter, three, and
at the fourth, four or five, an easy winner,
to the great sorrow of the knowing ones, in
3:433.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

A West Tennessee paper says: Some Of
our contemporaries in Middle Tennessee
are becoming greatly exercised over the
matter Of a successor to Gov. John c.
Brown. We cannot perceive the necessity
for any other succession IN the approaching
election than himself. He has certainly
done his duty in the position he occupies,
and, if he desires a reelection, is by all
means entitled to be his own successor.

because we honestly believe that the public

GIANT TREES.

BOtanists were astOunded when Calaveras
county and Mariposa valley were explored,
at the amazing altitude of gigantic trees;
and then again, to have attained such extra
ordinary dimensions as some Of them have,
about thirty feet in diameter by an altitude
oftour hundred, seemed like a spasmodic
rather than a progressive development.
One forty feet and four inches in diameter
has since been found near Visalia county,
Southern California.
Since those discoveries tree of the mYr-
tie family has teen examined in Austral a
that far surpasses the California trees, being
even taller than any of them.
When the concentric circles declare a
growth of between three and four thousand
years, it shows that the present condition of
the earth has not been essentially disturbed
since they have been where they are still
growing. Perhaps some of them were thrifty
saplings when Adam and Eve were roaming
in the garden of Eden. Certainly, if there
is any reliance in botanical laws as explained
by scientific teachers, those California trees
ante-date the age of Moses, and most of
the great empires chronicled in the pages
history.

FROd discoveries which have recently
been made by Jules Oppert, as to the old
calculation of lime, he finds that
they were a nation, and had records, II, S24
years before Christ. The Chaldean system
of calculation, as at present understood,
has an interval of S2,542 years between the
Creation and the Deluge. There seems to
be but little doubt, from scrutiny and il
vestigation 10 geology and chronology, that
man has been a tenant on the earth for far
longer period than was previously the re-
ceived idea. The 1000 years theory is be-
ing abandoned.

WASHINGTON.
New SPANISH Minister.

WASHINGTON, April 5-The Secretary
Of State to-day introduced to the President
Admiral JOSH Palo DeBarnabe, who deliv.
cred his credentials as Envoy Extraordina-
ry and Minister Plenipotentiary of Spain.
The Admiral made short speech express
sive Of the friendly feeling of his Govern
ment towards the United States, to which
the President replied in like spirit.
Cabinet Session,
There was full cabinet session to-day
all members being present, except Delano,
though the Interior Department was repre-
| sented by Gen. Cowan, Assistant Secreta-
ry. Business was important.
The Arms Observation-Disclosures Made
Easy.
W. M. Markley testified before the Sen
ate Arms Committee: Thomas POultney
said TO him that he understood that the
Navy Department wanted to sell some guns
and then made proposition to him. The
witness said be would see about it. The
proposition was to give him a dollar gun
for 10000 guns. He met the Secretary on
the street and asked him whether he had
guns to sell. The Secretary replied that
Poultney had better send a communication
on the subject, and he would refer it to the
Ordnance Bureau. Witness went to Tay-
lor's Hotel and informed Poultney what had
taken place. Witness got the money and
the transaction was closed. This was the
only conversation he had with the Secre-
taTy.
Witness said in reply to Senator Schurz
that his relations to the Secretary were per-
sonal and friendly. They lived in the same
toun Ha on,rl1 not GOV, fI,aro noe ~, 49,;
mate friendship between them, but they
were intimate, as neighbors generally are.
He never knew any reason why Poultney
called on him to interest himself in his be-
half. he did not receive any other equiva-
lent THAI $4,000. He earned the money
merely by asking the Secretary if he had
guns for sale.
Buying Testimony.
Mr.. Peck testified in relation to some
thing which had been said by the Marquis
de Chambrun. WitnL SIS presumed that he
did mention to the Marquis that he had
$4,000, but did not say that he had the
money for the purpose Of purchasing evil
dence. He merely said Remington would
spend $4,000 if necessary for getting re-
butting evidence in a legitimate way.
Examined by Carl Schurz-He had
authority to use the money for the purpose
of obtaining rebutting testimony to prove a
mans want Of veracity. He did not spend
auy more than the lawyers fees in obtain
ing four or five affidavits-about 5000. Wit
ness was an editor of the Army and Navy
Journal.
Improved Cartridges.
Mr.. Smoot, of lion, n. Y, testified he
was employed by Remington & Sons and
was at Frankfort Arsenal in December,
1870. He had met Col. Treadwell in New
York, who said he had some samples of i'm
proved cartridges.
Witness was Intercepted at some length
by Senator ScnUrz, and said Thomas Rich
ardson bought arms in his own name and
sold them to Remington. Richardson made
a profit on the cartridges but not on the
arms.
Committee adjourned until Monday,

when young woman, seeking to slyly ap-

ry, but when she handed him five dollars to
pay for another pair she bad bought, he
smiled and said: THAT viii pay for both
