MEssRs. EDITORS: Last night the
Nashville Bible Society, at the anniversa-
ry meeting of its fiftieth year, passed the
resolution below, and which may be of in
terest to many of your readers
Resolved, That as an appropriate cele-
bration of its fiftieth anniversary, the So
ciety endeavor at once to raise the sum of
three thousand dollars, of which five hum
of the Society, five hundred donated to the
Parent Institution, and two thousand used
in the great eXpending work of the Socie-
ty.
3 That in view of the fact that while a
very few of the churches have uniformly
and promptly responded TO the calls of the
Bible cause as represented by this Society,
others have contributed irregularly and
others have made no offerings, applica-
tions for contributions he made 10 indi-
viduals.
3. That while the emergencies of its i'm
portant work will not permit the Society to
rely On the hitherto great uncertainty OF
congregational collections hopes are enter
tanned that churches which have regular
ly given TO the cause will continue to be
faithful and will increase in their liberali-
ty, and that this noble example will soon
be emulated by every congregation in the
city in way worty of the high Christian
character of this community.
ResOiccd, That the first Saturday ofAlay
be set apart as a day of special commemo-
ration and semi-centennial celebration of
this Society, and that the officers of the
Society be instructed to arrange for said
Hneeting, and also report as far as possible
the history and work of the Society for the
past fifty years,
To-day the first man whom l approach
ed for contributions subscribed $lOO-the
third set down his name for $3.50, to go di-
rectly to the Parent Society, the sub
scrber being gentlemen long identified
with the Nashville auxiliary and its work
| and with the Southern Church.
May these noble examples not be lost on
those of your readers who are equally we'll
disposed to the great interests concerned.

On yesterday morning a colored woman,
who proved to be the wife of Lewis Har-
risOn, the fellow who was implicated in
the robbery of Larkin Burrell last Satur-
day night, the l4th inst, came to town
and attempted to remove some furniture
from the house where she formerly lived,
but the police were quietly sent for by
Amanda Mabry, discovering which the
gentle Mrs. Harrison went for Amanda
with vim, which caused her arrest by
the guardians of the law. She was taken
to the calaboose and divulged the where
abouts of her husband, whereupon a war

Kane procured horses and went to the
place designated, near John Tinnell's

rested Harrison, VINO was brought to town
and lodged In Jail. His case will be in
Vestigated tomorrow.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 23.-Col. Orr, Min
lister to Russia, is here for instructions.
The Secretary of the Treasury to-day
issued a circular letter, notifying attorneys
and agents doing business for others at the
department, that hereafter the department
will recognize the authority Of the princi-
pal to revoke or annul any power of attor-
agents or attorneys, and that the draft for
the process of any claim that may be
allowed will be remitted or delivered to
the principal unless he shall have given
authority in writing for its delivery to an
agent or attorney, which authority shall
not have been annulled or impaired by any
adverse act of the principal at the time
when the draft may be ready for delivery.
This order does not interfere with the cir
cular letter of the Second Controller under
date of April 3D. 1867, and printed rs form

OUR MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
THE Knoxville Keg Factory in Fall opera.
ti0n.

This new enterprise is now fairly under way
and we can do nothing less than predict for it a
grand success. Mr. d. r. Samuel the pro-
pretor, is a man of untiring energy, which is
one of the pre-re luisites TO success in any busi
ness. as a matter of course-his hands all
being unskilled in the use of the various
Inachines-his operations at the beginning must
necessarily be rather on the small scale. For
instance, he now works about ten hands, who
turn out only 100 kegs per day, when the same
number of hands, when properly trained, can
easily turn out 400 kegs per day-nearly treble
the amount they now make. His machinery
works splendidly, with capacity Of preparing
the material for at least 500 Kegs per day with
running order as yet, but will be in a
few days when be can take large log, saw it
up into blocks for slaves and blanks for bottoms
and tops. These blocks are taken and put to a
saw which has just the shape of keg, and
which saws out the slaves in perfect shape,
when they pass through another saw to straight
en- the edges and afterwards through a machine
which cuts them into proper lengths and cuts
the grooves for the bottoms and heads. The
panks are cut into square pieces by another saw,
after which they pass through another machine
which rounds and tongues the heads almost in
the twinkling Of an eye. An ordinary hand,
with but little experience, can turn out at least
1000 heads in day, with perfect ease, while an
expert hand can turn out nearly double that
amount. His bet saw, for scroll work, etc.,
works admirably, as also does his planer. In
acteYery department. Is IN complete rsnnlng or
der, showing that man who thorough
ly understands his business, superntended
the putting up and the general arrangement OF
machinery.
Mr.. Samuel as sOoa as he can'get satisfactory
assurance of obtaining the tub and buckettrade
of this country, will add new machinery, and
in connection with his keg factory, will GO
largely into the manufacture of these useful and
Indispensable articles. He sayslhe knows that
he can make and sell them cheaper than they
nOgsiblV he nurphasa1 Anrfb from fha
simple reason that he can get the material
cheaper here, and that he can employ laborers
here for less money than they can be had at in
the North. This is no idle talk. There are
thousands Of dollars sent off yearly for these
articles, which should and We hope and trust,
will be kept here in the future. The raw mate
rial is to he had in abundance here and can be
obtained much cheaperth than in the North; then
why not manufacture these articles and let this
community reap the benefit of the profit there
is n this line OF trader We hope Mr.. Sarlael
will receive all the encouragement possibls from
our merchants.

EAGTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.
MANUFA cTUR1NG IN THE SOUTH.

We publish elsewhere n very valuable
article on the comparative cost of manu-
featuring cotton yarns and sheetings in
the South and North, The figures are
given in detail, and show very clearly that
there is an immense saving in the manu-
facture in favor of the South. The figures
and facts stated in that article apply with
slight notifications as well to most
other branches of manufacturing. The
comparative cost Of living in the South
and North is as true in case of miners and
machinists rs of cotton spinners. The
fact is that this feature of life in the South
can only be appreciated by those who have
experienced colder climate. The extreme
cold and protracted winters of the North
are not only far more trying upon
the health of workingmen than the
long summers of our latitude, but the
difference in the length and severity of
the winters make marked difference in
the cost of living to the worHingmen. The
difference actually NECESSARY in the cons
struction of the hone, the difference in
fuel needed to warm dA house, the differ
ence in the amour ave. 'hquality of food for
the family andtl {. cost of wintering
n horse or COW, ,orG AT j tems which in the
course efR life fetildia5Well 10 n very large
sum. We'4eBg ilp-7S2i, we could eail upon
Northern WQrrld5i0 VINO have lived in
Knoxville for threeUears and secure state
ments from them on this point that would
be surprising. These are advantages we
say that apply to most manufacturing en-
terprises. In the case OF cotton manufaC-
turing in South Carolina the advantages
are not greater than in iron and wood
shops in East Tennessee. We have in
these great staples as many advantage
over most sections of the North as South
Carolina has in cotton over Massachusetts
or Rhode Island,
These facts speak loudly in favor of the
South. They are not in themselves, how
ever, tempting enough to torevolutionize the
cotton or iron manufactures of the North
Millions of dollars are invested in spindle:
on the bleak shores of New England, anC
in iron mills in the States of the North
It will take strong, natural advantages
backed by strong effort, to overcome the
influences these gigantic interests exert
The South will eventually gain much il
these respects if proper efforts are made
We can not do it, however, by simply
pointing to our advantages. The yankee
is credited with being ambitious to make
money. We suppose he is. That very
ambition causes him to look back Of the
advantages we have noticed. He knows
that public schools, small farms, lands a
reasonable prices, good public roads, and {
liberal progressive Dublic sentiment ar,
essential to make superior natural adj
vantages worth what we claim for them
We can add these inducements very easily
and when we doit, immigration will come
and with it manufacturing and genera
prosperity.

Mr.. JOHN G.. WHITTIER has writ.
ten a letter to several colored men
in Brooklyn, who sought his ad'
vice about the Presidential contest. Mr..
Whittier says: "It you prefer General
Grant, you will not, trust, degrade
yourselves in the eyes OF your white
associates by joining with them in dis
paraging and abusing such man as
Charles Sumner, who has done so much
for you, and is now suffering untold ag
ony from wounds received in your SER
vice. If you choose to vote for Horace
Greeley, you need not therefore forget
your great obligations to William Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips. Take
their advice or reject il, but stand by
them still and teach your party and
friends to respect your feelings toward
your beneiactors. No colored man
with any selt-respect or sense OF graft
tude can listen complacently to personal
abuse OF such men as Horace Greeley,
Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson or
Salmon P. Chase They have been
your friends when friendship cost some
thing.
