of the audience had been saved by this
precious blood.
He closed by asking all to rise who could
look deep down into their hearts
and say that sthe blood Of Jesus Christ,
His son, c~leanseth me from all sin" and a
gOOdlY number Of persons rose. He then
asked how many wanted their sins cleansed
by this blood, and several persons respond
ed by rising.
MT. Bliss made a few remarhs, and after
wards offered a general prayer for all those
who rose.
He sang a solo, 81 am praying for you"
which be said was for the benefit of n
certain person and the large number whom
that n represented.
He then read extracts from a letter just
received from Mr.. White, in which the
writer stated that it was impossible for him
to leave home just at present; that he had
but recently returned from Massachusetts,,
where he saw the remains of his father
laid in the grave, and was now unavOida-
bly, detainedat home. He commended the
people Of Nashville to God, and hoped that
a mighty blessing would rest upon Nash
vile. He advised the people to search the
scriptures and especially to read the fol
lowing text from the 2Oth chapter Of Acts
and 32nd verse, which is as follows: "And
now, brethren, L commend you to God, and
to the word Of bis grace, which is able TO
build you up, and 10 give YOU an inheri-
lance among all them which are sane
tilted.
IL was announced that a second meeting
would be held Immediately after the dis
misSal Of the congregation, and that all
those who rose for prayers and as many
more as wanted 10 consult with the minis
tiers, were requested 10 remain.
"Hallelujah, It's dODen was sung and the
benediCtion pronounced.
SECOND MEETING.
4 very large number Of the audience re-
manned, and nearly a hundred inquirers
made their way to the special place set
apart for them, which was in front of the
pulpit, where words Of comfort were spoken
to them by the ministers and a few chris
tians in the audience. The meeting lasted
about thirty minutes, and was exceedingly
interesting. 1t is said that the ministers
had scarcely had time to consult every one
Of the inquirers, and that some left the
building without being consulted.
The ministers, however, remain in their
pastoral studies one hour each morning,
from 10 to IL O'Clock, and those whom the
ministers fail TO reach can find them there.
These suggestions are made at the request
Of several persons who attended the meet
ing last night.
4 report has circulated that Mr.. Whittle
will not come here during the union meet
incs, but Mr.. Bliss requests us to state that

Of the court, and that this vote, having the
simple object of cutting Off debate, was
the nearest the court got to an actual vote
on the resolution. He proceeded TO elabO-
rate Various other arguments, and was re-
piled to by Gen. Nancy at some length,
but in view Of the result finally reached,
there was nothing else Of sufficient inter
est in the debate to be forced upon public
attention.
The resolution was finally voted down
by the stockholders and Squire p. w.
Maxey made essay to reach the desired end
by proposing a resolution declaring it the
sense Of the meeting that the president of
the company ought not to be a candidate
for reelection to a dictatorship under an
election controlled by judges Of his own
appointment. This was ruled out Of order
by the chair.
The ballOtting was begun late in the az
~ternOOn, and resulted in the reelection Of
the former Directors, with the exception OF
Judge Ferris resigned, whose vacancy was
supplied by the election Of Squire Ed
mund II. Childress. The proxies Of the
Wilson County Court who we're present 10
vote the stock of that county
were Justices Brent and Hays.
The former Of these voted half
the Wilson county stock for the Nancy
ticket, and the latter the other half for the
Toney ticket. The Nancy ticket thus re-
ceived the vote Of half the Wilson county
stock, all the Davidson county stock,
besides a majority Of the private stock.

An Anonymous Traducer.

An anonymous scrjbbleU wrote a few
very insulting and blaSphemOus remarks on
one Of the Gospel texts that have been dis
tributed by the Executive Committee of
the union meetings, and sent it enclosed in
az envelope, yesterday, TO a gentleman who
IS taking a very active part inthe meetings.
The gentleman announced il publicly al
the meeting last night and said that as the
text did not come from him, he would leave
it with the individual and his God and
that he would in the meantime pray for that
individual, that the word Of God might be
more a~cceptably received by him In the fu-
ture. That blasphemers face would surely
have blushed with shame if he had heard
the remarks Of the gentleman, but it is very
doubtful whether the writer Of the insult
ing pOte was present. The c~hirOgraphy in
dicated that an intelligent person wrote il.

that neighborhOod had reported on a man
named Pickett, who was engaged IN the
manufacture Of wildcat whisky, and this
led to Pickett killing the minister and
