Gem IRA p, Jones.

We find in the Columbia Mail OF the
9th inst. the following complimentary
mention OF Gen. Jones, of the UNION
AND AMERICAN. II Gen. Jones had been
an aspirant for the position Of buperintSnd-
ent of Public Schools, such an endorse
ment of his qualifications would have done
much in securing for him the place, but in
as1onch IS he was not candidate, we are
determined to place this good opinion of
his merits on record, Enjoying that, II he
ever has tins again to look a school, mouse
square in the face, be will be reminded OF
the pretty talk which his friend, Z. wash
ington Bricks, used in his behalf. The
Mail says:
Under the new school law il becomes the
duty of the Governor, we believe, TO ap-
point Superintendent of Public Schools
for the State at large. The Governor; VINO
is one of the most sensible of nlen-~e
have never had better Governor than zen.
Browns aware that no man OF ordinary
abilities will make such superintendent
as the occasion demands, and will, OF course,
think twice before lie makes the appoint
ment. We have no suggestions to offer him
in regard to the matter, for he knows great
deal more about it than we DO; but let ms
say, nevertheless, that if We had the ap-
pointment in our gift we should offer it TO
Gen. Ira p. Jones, of Nashville, who would
make a superintendent .of whom any
State might be proud. He is one Of the
most loug-heaGed men in Tennessee. HIS
head is as long as the Pacific railroad.
Thousands of people are constantly won
derirg why one of the strongest political
writers and one of the ablest statesmen OF
the South ig throwing himself away upon
the business department of the Nashville
| Union AND AMERICAN, while there are go
MANY othe~ fields in which his splendid
| abilities could be employed to the advant-
age, not only of himself, but of the public
at large. All newspaper men under
stand the thing, but the general pub
lie do lot. Gen. Jones confines him
self 10 the business department OF the
| UNION AND AMERICAN because there
is money in it; because his labor5 II
the counting room are more profitable than
| thew Would be in the sancLum. But he
should not be in any counting-room. be
should hare a field wherein his cultivated
mind and mature judgment could have full
play. He shouldn't be permitted to grow
! rich by experimenting the business Ga
private concern. The public should have
his services, and simply for the reason tha
they would be worth a hundred per cent
more han the services Of Tom, Dick, or
Harry, for he has more brains and more
executive ability, of every description
than is dreamed of by Tom, Dick, and
Harry. >,
We are not sure that GeD. Jones would
accept the position of Superintendent o
Public SehooIs-we are inclined to think
really, that it would rot be to bis advant
age, pecuniarily, to do so--but il he Wer'
appointed to the office and would accept it.
it would be a mighty good thirg for tn
State, which has no better man for th
place, nor for any other place wherein on
of the best and brightest Of men is required

A LOUISVILLE RUMPUS.
Two Prominent Citizens Have street
DfflicUIfy,

Two Prominent Citizens Have a street
Difficulty.
The Louisville Ledger of the 9th has
this to say with regard to street difficulty
which occurred between two citizens OF
that place on Tuesday:
GThe City Court room was filed TO sutto-
cation this morning to near TIA case OF Or.
D. W. Yandell and Ed. Wilder, Esq,
charged with fighting on the street. The
case being called, both parties made their
appearance with black eye. DR.. 1andeu
being called to the stHnd, stated: I'm Tues
day afternoon, about enc O'Clock, l was
proceeding down Main street. MIR. Wilder
passed, and after going lew steps in ad-
vance, he turned and said to me, "Y GU
id s-n of b-h," and put bis haod in
his pocket, and l supposed to get a pistol,
as he did once at a funeral about a year
since, and made for him and struck him.
We had several passes, aud were hHally
Separated
MIR. Wilder declined making any state
ment, but afterwards explains as follows:
nAt the funeral to which DR.. Yandell re-
ferred, DIR. Yandell was present, though
unlimited, not knowing the parties, only
through me; was not the attending phgsi-
clan, and the party dead was my own blood
cousin; while at the funeral DR.. Yandell
plared at me in most insulting manner,
from which the difficulty occurred; on
Tuesday last he did the same thing,
and | called him what he stated; be
struck me, and returned it, and we cliEch-
ed, and / bore him to the ground; and We
cot up again and clinGhed, and bore him
down again, and tried to cEoKe the life out
of him; do not go armed, and when Iput
nv hand in my pocket it was to get my
knife, which, had gotten, would have
used;s1 never go armed; after the difficulty
at the funeral, went armed few days, but
soon put the pistol away; after the fight on
Main street l bought two deringers, because
| vas advised by my friends to do so, as
was told DR.. Yandell had threatened to Kill
me; those pistols have also discarded"
Dr.. Yandell also made statements with
regard to the origin Of the difficulty, IN this
wise:
cat the funeral, which was that OF Mrs
-, the wife of partner OF MIR. Wllder's
who were intimate friends of mine, was
present, and only looked at Mr.. Wilder
straight in the face, as is my custom Will
every one, and did not mean an insult, a;
| was in too good humor; at that time n
put his hand in his pocket, and drew hi
knife, his friend and myself both preveI t
ed him from using it,"
Here Mr.. Wilder interrupted and said
off you did not look at me in an insulting
manner, then was grossly mistaken, AMI
if you now say that you did not, will take
| vour word" To which DR.. Yandell re.
pIied that he did not, and proceeded: "Af
ter that difficulty | met Mr.. Wilder, as
have before stated, and l did not mean al
insult by looking at him, for l Mas thel
also in good humOr."
Wilder was fined 81, and put under bon'
of s., 900 to keep the peace for FIVE years
! and Yandell was discharged.

Iron i'm BRADLEY County.

The Cleveland Banner Of the 18th inst.
says:
"Another rich iron mine has been IN
earthed in Bradley county. 1t is located
about eleven miles west of this place, and
and near the railroad leading TO Chattanoo-
ga. 1t is said that at the point where the
test has been made that the whole OF White
Oak Mountain is a mass Of the richest iron
ore ever found on the American continent.
The abundance Of the ore and the easy
facilities of transportation viii be great
inducements for the establishment o.
one or more iron foundries at this
place. Let some of our men of capital in
vest a portion of their capital, at least, to
establish an iron mandatory at CieVe-
land. Who will be tie noble spirit to lead
off in this great enterprise? During the
past winter a good iron mine has been
opened eleven miles south Of this place,
almost Immediately on therailroad leading
to Dalton, 1t has been paying founders to
shin this ore-41 miles-to Chattanooga.
How much better would it pay Cleveland
founders, who are only Il miles from ii?
People of Bradley, you do not know what
a good thing you have got! Wake up to
the importance of the crisis.

The April number OF this acceptable
home publication is upon our table, and as
usual sparkles with choice matter. In TINS
issue we find the valedictory of John Shir-
lev Ward, who has been the editor for the
past five years, and who with view of re-
moving to Cslifornis at an esrly day, has
sold the Pearl to Rev. j. G. ProVine. We
copy the following paragraph from the val
edictory, which will show the prosperous
condition of this mas azlne at the present
time:
ain the past FIVE years, eight different
literary magazines have been published In
this city. Some of them were freely lights,
others threw meteoric glare athwaFt the
literary heavens for awhile, others fioated
like Magellanic clouds, rejecting the soft
beauty of a Southern sky, all endedAin
darkness and eclipse. The Ladies Pearl
alone survives. We leave it in a prospei-
GUS condition; its receipts, in two months
and a half, being sufficient to pay its eX-
penses for an entire year."

THE LATE RAILROAD STRIKE.
ADiyIsiou Suspended.

From the advance sheets of the April
number Monthly journal Locomotive
Enqineers we take the following order OF
Charles Wilson, G. g. f.:
s.Mobefly Division, No. SO, OF the B. of
L. E., having violated The ruleS of the
Brotherhood, and thereby caused dis
graceful strike, it is ordered that their char
ter be suspended, in conformity to sections
3 and 4, of article ". of The constitution;
ard all members of said Division that are
IN apy way implicated in the violation of
The rules OK The brotherhood are hereby de-
prived of all fellowship and benefits, until
said charter is relieved from suspension By
the Grand international Division ConVen-
ton.
"Division sc are hereby ordered to send
O list of the names OF such OF their mem
berl s. fa7orsd demand being made upon
the railroad company loE the removal OF
Chaplin, To this office; also add to such re-
port, so far as it is possible to do SO, the
names of all members of other Divisions
that were employed on the st. L., f. G.
& n. &. R., at the tine of the strike.
"All books and property of Division o6
viii be kept in the CUSTODY of the officers of
said Division until Q fnal decision OF their
case shall be made by the G. /. D.
"CHARLEs WILSON, G. g Z.
81. B. GREENE, F. G. A. E.
Accompanying the above order Of sus-
pension lar. Wilson has lengthy report on
the subject of strikes, which he concludes
as follows:
81 am now ready to advise that On no ae-
count shall any demand be m. de upon a
company unless the names Of all the men
making it are attached, and that our grand
officers be authorized to use every influence
to furnish engineers to run the trains on
any railroad where the engineers engage IN
a strike contrary to the rules OF the Brother
hood. With these two additional rules l
think we could find out who was respon-
sible in the first instance; and by the sec
| ond suggestion think We could prevent a
! few members in one division from disgrace
ing thousands of members that have not
| even heard that any trouble existed.
~At present it is the purpose OF the 4. b.
/ Co, to stock their road with an entire sci
| of new engineers. / am in hopes that such
engineers a. proya themselves blSmeles;
will not be prescribed, and that no member
of the Brotherhood will try to prevent any
person from running on said road.
"Thers is no Election against any mem
Der of the Brotherhood obtaining work on
this road if they can do so; on the contrary
il is their duty to accept situations there i
they are out of work, and are allowed Il
run On that road.

The ,FIae Of Immigration.

We learn from the Athens Post that
company of thirty or forty Ohio people
will soon locate in McMinn and Bradley
counties, near the crossing of the HiWasse.
The above journal sa,s "The terrible
ricors of the past winter in the West and
Northwest is likely to impel large and
substantial emigration to East tennessee,
where the climate is Incompatible and the
seasons generally favorable, and where
people rarely ever die except with extreme
old ace, and earnest domestic husbandry

We tramped oyer a considerable

we never found better country than thls

Tennessee possesses natural advantages
and elements Of prosperity and wealth er'
joyed by no other section. And We have
had faith, too, that, sooner or later, the
people OF the higher latitudes and less fav-

East Tennessee by exsggeration and over

LEBANON, March n, 1873. Dear sir
Your valuable paper has of late contained
many interesting paragraphs concerning
the prettiest girl in the State. But SO lar
no single city or town has sufficiently es-
tablished its claim in that direction. Union
City; Dyersburz, Brownsville and Rogers
vile have signally failed in the attempt.
The reason of this is very plain; because
here in Middle Tennessee, where the true
is blended with the good, in the real as well
IS the ideal, beauty necessarily reigns su-
preme. In your modest little neighbor,
Lebanon, dwells spar excellence" the iiV-
ing embodiment of the real and ideal, beau

New Advertisements.

The ninth annual report of the Brooklyn
Life Insurance Co. will be found in
another column. 1t presents evidences OF
steadily augmenting strength, which are
very gratifying to itsImanY friends and well
wisbers here, and which give it renewed
claims to public confidence. The growing
business of the company is certainly COM
plimentary to its management, and by close
examination of the report the reader will
perceive that the officers of this company
have not endeavored to magnify and swell
the amount of their available assets, nor, on
the other hand, to conceal or suppress the
amount of their liabilities. We have every
reason to believe that this company is as
sound and safe as any in the country. The
BROOKLYN is exceedingly fortunate in the
selection of its agents here. Messrs. Clay
borne s. Pennebaker, the General State
Agents, and Capt. John w. Morton, the
Special State Agent, are well and fayoraoly
known throughout the State, and with the
influence and assistance Of some Of our
best business men who compose the Board
of Reference-all pOlicy-holders in the
Brooklyn-is certainly the very best guar
antee of the company's solvency and stand
ing. Call on the agents, No. 80 North
