A Move i'm the Right Direction.

We are gratified TO see that Mr.. McCcD-
nell. of Trousdale, on Thursday last intro
duced in the Senate bill granting TO the
corporate authorities of tbs city Of Nash
vile, that portion Of the old Lunatic
Asylum grounds which has been reserved
for Governor's mansion, and a portion of
the Hermitage tract Of land for hospital
purposes. 1t is high time Tennessee was
moving in this direction. She has done her
self credit in the m&gnifcence of her
Hospital for the Insane, and ia various direc-
tions for the relief Of her afflicted INDECENT.
But upon the subject of public hospitals,
she is far behind many Of her sister States.
The State of Pennsylvania with the ampi-
tuda of her present hospitals has but re-
Gently appropriate to her two hospitals
one hundred Thousand dollars Q00,000,)
and the States generally are looking after
their INDECENT sick. That we have not done
so, is certainly not because there is not a
CRYING necessity upon US for such institu-
tions. The occasional paragraphs in our daily
papers calling attention to the extreme
wretch edness and destitution of the sick
Door by whom we are Immediately sur
rounded, develope but solitary care now
and then of the hundreds and thousands
who are perishing among US. The doctors
who, as a rule, are distinguished for their
charity, may and do 60 through all sorts Of
weather, and at any sacrifice, to these
novels of want and disease, but what can
they do when they get there? They find,
perhaps, that the wretched sufferers to
whom they are called are destitute Of the
necessaries Of life: not even a comfortable
shelter, or bed, or fuel, or morsel to eat
suitable to the nourishment of the wasted
frames. The doctor and bis medicines can
do but little under such circumstances.
There is scarcely day that there are not
sick destitute strangers in the city from
other portions of the State, needing and
often applying for hospital accommodation,
which cannot at present be supplied, and
which destitution should be remeded, and
which we hope will be to great extent at
least BY the adoption Of Mr.. McConuelrs
bill. And why not? The property pro-
posed to be appropriated is useless to the
State in its present condition, and likely to
remain Sd unless the wisdom Of the Legis-
lature shall thus give it practical and useful
activity.

MEXICAN VOLUNTEERS.
A Plea for Pension.

PITTsBURG, Feb. .S.-An adjourned meet
ing of the survivors of the Mexican war
was held this evening, and a memorial to
Congress was approved, which sets forth
that almost generation has passed since
their conquering columns dictated an hon
orable peace with Mexico, and but few of
the men who participated are left to ask
bounty of the Government; that in view
of the benefits derived by the nation through
the acquisition of California and New Mex
leo, they ask Congress to grant a pension
commensurate with the results springing
from their services and achievements; that
as these provinces were acquired from Mex
leo for the sum Of fifteen million dollars,
added to the cost of the war, and as this
heritage was "fought for" by the private
soldiers for seven dollars 8 month, they ap-
peal TO Congress to remember them in
their declining years.

Scrap of Imperial Gossip.

The Russian Grand Dukes Runaway
Match-Decree of Banishment-A
Scrap OF Imperial Gossip.
From the Washington Capital.
1t seems that Fred. Grant brought back
from Europe bit Of imperial gossip. We
were hattering ourself that the Grand Duke
was sent to the United States for the pur-
pose of studying our institutions, and the
character, manners, ETC., of our people. It
was the first time, we were assured, that a
son of the Gar had been sent to a republic. It
turns out, however, according to Fred, that
this is all delusion. The Prince Imperial
had become enamored of lady not ofthe
blood royal by any manner of means, and
wished to marry her. This did not meet
the approval of the imperial family, and so,
to get clear of the meSdllidnce, the young
man was sent abroad. But love laughs at
locksmiths (when he has the key), and the
young girl followed her imperial lover as far
as London and the two were united, on the
ely, in the holy bonds. This coming to the
ears of the imperial father, resulted in a ban
ishment that will probably last his life, and
the young gentleman will be travelling up
and down the earth like the Wandering Jew
for long time, to-wit, forever.
