PENITENTIARY BURNED.
The Entire Work Shops of the
State Prison Destroyed.

The penitentiary at Nashville was
destroyed by fire last Monday afternoon,
except the wards where the prisoners
slept. The fire originated mysteriOusly
and was beyond control before the fire
department could reach it. The alarm
and confusion occasionsd by seven
hundred and twenty-eieht prisoners
frantic with terror at the pros pect OF
being burned to death was indiscribabls.
Only six escaped. The loss TO the state
is estimated at $4,000. Cherry, O'Con-
ner & Co., the lessees, lose about $685.
600, with an insurance of $4,000. All
the immense machinery that made the
institution one of the largest manufac-
turing establishments in the south was
destroyed, together with several hun
dred thousand feet OF lumber, immense
stores and trimmings and large guam
titles of manufactured goods, Including
$4,000 bedsteads, $50 bureaus, $50 ward
robes, wagons, implements, etc. The
convicts acted well and could have over
run the guards at first il they had rush
ed upon them, but the military and po-
lice were soon on hand and volunteer
guards were placed around them and
they were safely guarded. Many escapes
were attempted but fallen. The lessees
will have to feed the prisoners three or
four months until the shops can be re-
built and their losses arc not all COM
pretended in the things burned. Their |
lease continues, Immense orders ahead /
will go untitled, q large expense goes |
on and their trade is being Diverted |
They are well able 10 stand il. The /
moving of the institution away from 1
Nashville is again being agitated and !
VIII doubtless be done now.

Gen. Cbeatbam,s Defense.

Gen. D. F. Cheatham read paper be-
fore the Kentucky Historical Society
last Thursday night indicating him
self from the charge made in Gen.
Hoods book that his disobedience OF or
deIs prevented the capture of the fed
eral army at Spring Hill the day before
the battle of Franklin, 20 Nov, 1864.
He establishes conclusiVely by several
of the officers on the field and from pub
lie records that he was not only not re-
sponsible for the failure to cut OF the
retreat from Spring Hill, but that he
himself declared the charges baseless.
1t seems that the advance from Column
bia was immethodical and bungling
and the different commands were not
manipulated in concert. Gen. Hood ex-
pected some of them to take the pike
north OF the town and intercept the re-
treat, perhaps, but he never gave such
orders, but upon the other hand, when
all was in readiness for attack, he or
dered delay until daylight, and the
yankees slipped out and away over the
unguarded pike. Gen. Cheatham's YER
sion is supported In its various stages
by Jas. ID. Porter, his chief of staff,
Isham @. Harris, Gen. Alex. z. Stewart,
Gen. Lowry, Gen. Bate, Gen. Brown,
and even by Gen. Hood himself. 1t
was very serious blunder and it is
probable that ono of Gen. Hoods or
ders miscarried and thus brought about
failure that eliminated in a terrible
disaster next day at Franklin. Gen.
Cheatham needed no Vindication to
those who knew him, but it's right that
that this statement should 60 down so
that history may be correct and future
generations may have no reason to
doubt the fidelity and patriotism of the
old hero. Gen. Brown had converse
ton with Gen. Cleburne about three
hours before he was killed and Gle
burne was then wroth and sore under q
reported charge from Hood that it was
his neglect that caused the failure. 1t
seems, then, that Hood changed his
scape-goat when the doughty freshman
was killed. Gen. Cheatham does not
seek to cast any odium upon the
memory of Gen. Hood, but seems to
recognize the peril that surrounds a
vindication attempted after his accuser
is dead, and he simply establishes his
own innocence and leaves the balance
to silence.

At Rest.

Miss PAMPHELIA BEE, daughter of
William and Lourany Bee, was born

MAI. SYKES SPEECH.

He said he did not come to preach the
gospel OF dispair, but preferred words
Of encouragement and hope, and he had
facts which he was anxious for the peo-
pie to hear. On LIST January, 1875, in
the midst of darkness and gloom, soon
after the panic of 1873, he had made a
speech in Pulaski which was reported
in full In TIE CITIZEN in which he did
all he could to encourage the people.
He told us then that croaking and COM
planning made bad matters worse and
that the cry of t'hard times" made hard
times, and that il we would be of good
cheer and braVely meet these difficult
ties we would come safely through.
The panic and the cry of hard times and
the encouragement and dispair preached
by SO many had produced disastrous re-
suits. So it might be again if we heed
these birds of evil omen who by their
hideous and 4ournfpl cries alarm and
distress those who listen to them. Ten
pessee is not pauper state. She is I'M
derrated by her own people. She is
richer to-day than any southern state,
except it may be Missouri, and she is
little behind her. Emigration is not a
new thing in Tennessee. The western
and southern states are largely made up
of her sons. They have gone and con-
tinue to go under a misapprehensiOn
and differentiation of our state and its
resources and possibilities. Let the fol-
lowing figures and facts prove this as
sertion; Kentucky produces 1852, 263
bushels of corn; Tennessee, G2,7e4,429
but Kentucky has a larger population
and only makes 1867 bales of cotton to
$50, ga. See this compare
tive table showing the production in
bushels of corn.

IMMIGRATION.
The Movement Inaugural
ted in Giles.
Maj. Sykes and Dr.. Hawkins Ad-
dress Our People Monday.
A Comparative View of Tennes
sees Resources and Pos
sibilities.

The call made for a meeting OF
the citizens of Giles to hear Col. 4.
S. Colyar upon the subject of manu-
featuring was widely known all over
Giles and awakened an unusual in
terest. The delay of the noon train
Monday for two hours rendered it
impossible for the people to remain,
and even when the train came it was
found that Col. Colyar was not
aboard, having been called to New
York. Maj. VIM. ]. Sykes and DIR.
Hawkins, Com. of Agriculture, Sta
tistic and Mines, were on hand,
however, and the people were at
once summoned to the county court
room to hear them upon the subject
of immigration. A very small
audience greeted them, on account
of the lateness of the hour. 1t was
very unfortunate, for the speeches
were full Of thought and facts that
should be impressed upon every
mans mind in the county. They
speak for themselves and carry their
own application to our needs and
condition. The following is a full
synopsis of

The supreme court of Tennessee con-
vene at Nashville last Monday and is
engaged upon the Davidson county
docket. The question OF advancing the
1908 case for hearing will come up for
hearing next Monday. If the court
advances it, it will be tried at once. 1t
makes very little difference now which
way it goes. Every step taken is an
other wedge in the democratic party
and the wedges will come fast and thick
now. Republicanism is triumphant in
Tennessee and we had as well know it
and get over it. A republican legisla-
ture will endorse 1908 and Tennesseans
will soon know from experience what
high tax means. If this prognosis is
correct, a miracle will have to be
wrought to save the patient.
