United Friends Of temperance.

The Supreme Council, the highest de-
partment of this young and vigorous Tenn.
perarce Order, held its second session at
Chattanooga on Wednesday and Thursday
of this week.
The Order had its origin In the deter
mination on the part of the two old Orders,
the Sons of Temperance and the Good
Templars, to admit colored persons to men,
bership in them. The Grand and Snbordi-
nate Lodges and divisions of these Orders
that could not and would not tolerate ne
gro membership, withdrew from the old or.
ganiZatiops and instituted this new Order
on the basis of an exclusively white men,
bership. The union upon this basis was
consummated in January of the present
year, and in that month the banner of the
United Friends ct Temperance YVES 6rst
thrown to the breezs.
The session of the Supreme Council just
closed at Chattanooga, was a harmonious
one, and much legisla' ion was accomplish
ed looking to the permanent establishment
and rapid extension of the Order. The
States of Tennessee, Georgia, North Caro-
lima, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Ar
kansas were represented, while the Order
has already acquired foothold in the ad-
ditional States of Florida, South Carolina
Alabama and Kentucky. The coDstitu-
tions, rituals, ETC., Of the Supreme, Grand
and Subordinate Councils are now estab-
lished, and the Order is fully equipped and
ready to take an active part
with other and older organizations in the
interests Of humanity. There are three de-
partmeuts of the Subordinate: First, en- in
itiatory degree, which imposes the ordi-
nary pledge of total abstinence and coDsti-
tutes membership in the Subordinate
Councils. Second, Benevolent Insurance
degree, with beautiful initiato'y cere-
monies, all the members of which are as
sessed, upon the ] cath of fellow member,
to contribute fund for the relief of the
family of the deceased. And third, a
Knights degree, in which a large percent
age of all the receipts from fines, dues, etc,
are set apart for the purpose Of aiding in
the endowment of an asylum for the cure
of inebriates.
The officers Of the Supreme Council
elected for the next two years are:
John Moffst, Of Tennessee, M. w. P.
W. e. 81. SearcY, of Georgia, NJ. w. A.
W. Bryce Thompson, of Tennessee, NJ.
WIS.
j. w. Crawford, of Arkansas, NJ. w. T.
Rev. James Young, of Texas, NJ. W.
Chaplain.
]. NJ. Boone, of Mississippi, M. W. G.
w. W. Mccarthy, of Louisiana, NJ. w.
Sentinel.
Further legislation was had looking to the
consol dation of the order of Friends of
Temperance with this order of "United
Friends" and it is hoped at the next ses-
sion of the Supreme Council, which is to be
held at New Orleans in March, 1874, that
the consolidation will be perfected.

CHOLERA IN EAST TENNESSEE.

Gloomy Int IIigeRce from Jonesb0ro
Reports from Other Points.
From the Knoxville Press and Herald, July 30.
The reports from Jonesboro still continue
to convey gloomy intelligence. During the
day, yesterday, nodeaths from cholera &C.
CURED, though there were fifteen cases of a
very virulent type. The disease prevails
mainly among the colored population, whose
loose habits of living tend to intensity its
malignity. Three deaths were expected last
night, two of which are negroes.
More families left the place yesterday,
and those only remain in which the sick
ness exists.
A man named Floyd, Mr.. Boyd, aud
negro woman, all died at Jonesboro during
Monday night and yesterday morning.
Laudon Morris, white, living about mile
from the place, also died. Up to 10 O'Clock
A. NJ, there had been five new cases in ad-
ditition to those reported.
Yesterday morning, Capt. Jacques,
Viee-President and Superintendent OF the
railroad, telegraphed DR.. Sewer, asking
him if they needed medical assistance at
that place. DIR. S. replied "not at present,
but may tomorrow" We learn, however,
that later in the day, dispatch was sent
to Mayor Rule, asking for medical assist
ance. There is said to be only one Off
Ger of the city government the tow n
msrshal-left in the place.
The citizens of johnson City sre much
alarmed at the proximity of the disease to
them, and it is reported here that they have
refused to allow anyone from Jonesbore to
get off the train at their depot.
We mentioned the other day that man
named Miller died of the disease in Union
county. He was the father-in-law of man
named johnson, who had died in this dty.
After Johuson's death, Miller is reported to
have taken the bedding aud hauled it in
wagon to bis home in Union county. He
died a few days afterward. A DR.. Lewis
who waited on him and two children also
died.
A white man named Anderson Day died
Yesterday morning in a howell below the
mouth of Second Creek. He was taken
sick on Sunday and had all the symp oms,
though his doctor says it was not cholera.
We understand that his own brother said
that the deceased had not drawn sober
breath for q week before he was taken
sick. The corporation furnished coffin.

A Response from the Peoples Gas
Light Company.

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, July 3l.-In answer to Y.
X, we wish TO say that The Peoples Gas
Light Company are ready and anxious to
commence building their works in Nash
vile. The only obstacle in the way is, the
City Council has not yet granted the COM
pany the right of way through the stree s.
The charter is al right, and everything else.
All that is needed is for the City Council to
say that the company can put down their
pipes on the streets on the same terms as
the old company has put hers down. Let
this reasonable request be granted, and the
gas works will be- put in operation as soon
as its possible for the work to be cone. We
respectfully ask the citizens of Nashville,
who are interested in having gas furnished
them at as low price as it can be done
after leaving reasonable profit to the
stockholders, to at once assist us. through
their representatives, in procuring the right
of way through your streets.

Fence Advertising.

The habit Of wide-awake merchants
advertising their business by having
their names &c, painted on fences
along the country, has become quite
common. Some people whose fem
ccs are thus made use of are greatly
annoyed thereat, while others have
no objections. A few days since a
stranger appeared in this borough
and proposed to number of business
men that he would affix their signs
on the fences on certain roads lead
ing into town at tax of ten dollars
per head. The proposition was ac-
cepted, by Col. James, T. Kirk, A.
B. Wolf, G. W. Roberts, j. III. Rog-
ers, Drury 4 Son, A. A. Todd Baird,
and VIM. Smith & Son. The bargain
being agreed upon, Mr. Stranger OBJ
tanned horse and buggy at one of
the livery stables and took Christie
pher Cotton, young maa in this
borough with him, who, Us is alleged,
Grove the team. 1t appears that the
stranger painted the signs of the
gentlemen above named upon q
fence belonging to S. Wilson, esq,
but some distance from his residence
Mr.. Wilson not being willing that
this use should be made of his fence,
sent word to the gentlemen above
named, notifying them of his dis
pleasure. Mr.. Smith, we believe,
engaged the stranger to go out and
plane off the offensive signs, but as
he had already secured pay for his
work, and suspecting trouble ahead,
he disappeared without removing the
signs, and has net since been seen.
Mr.. Wilson then issued what is call
ed legal parlance capius od respon-
dendum, requiring all, or at least
several of these gentlemen, his neigh
bors, to apper before Squire Done
hoo. Some of them did so and give bail
in the sum of City dollars for further
appearance. The suits against sever
al Of the gentlemen were withdrawn,
but We believe Messrs. Rogers, Cot
