Excursion TO Nashv,l,e.

Excursion TO Nashville.
The excursion to Nashville which
has been repeatedly announced
through these columns came off on
Monday last. The steamer Ander-
son, with large number of excur-
sionists on board, left here at
o'clock Monday morning, and
stopped at all landings along the
river as far up as Ashland City, in
Guiding that landing. There was
no lack of excursionists; in fact,
there were too many. All, however,
we believe, enjoyed themselves
more or less. A considerable por-
ton of the entertainment was de-
rived from dancing, which was
kept up during the greater part of
the day and till late at night, the
Anderson having an excellent
string band on board. Our Clarlxs-
vile boys took large part both in
dancing and eating-especially the
latter. Some of them couldn't get
enough. We saw one young man
who, after eating for a couple of
hours or so, expressed wish to be
put on shore, as he "wanted some
dinner" The officers of the Ander-
son evidently did not calculate upon
the unbounded appetite of the boys
when they were laying in provisions
for the trip.
The boat arrived at Nashville
Monday night; the next day was
spent by theexcursionistsi in ''doing"
the metropolis. Returning, arrived
at GAINESVILLE at about 8 O'Clock
Wednesday morning. For want of
space we are unable to give de-
tailed account of the trip, and will |
only add that the excursionists gen.
orally had a very merry time.
