Our Nashville Letter.

From the Regular Correspondent of the Appeal
NASHVILLE, March 19.-The Executive
Committee of the Farmers Agricultural
Association met at the State capitol this
morning. Among the gentlemen present
were B. F. Cockrill, of Davidson county,
er-oficio chairman and president OF the
association; p. Smith, of Davidson county !;
G. H. Slaughter, of Montgomery; J. H..
Mcdowell, of Obion, and W. r. Shaver, OF
Smith,
Mr.. Cockrell stated the object of the
meeting in short address. He said the
committee should make such propositions
as it desired the association to act upon.
He regarded it as a most important meet
ing. The progress of the age demands that
farmers shall keep abreast of the times.
"Our Senators and Congress men have
shown want of interest in the farmer.
We must make them know we
will no longer be hewers of wood and
drawers of water for the balance of the
world. The emancipation of 100000
slaves was great work, but the enamel
patton of so many farmers from their
present oppression and neglect would be
something greater. This would destroy
the desire of young men to leave the farm
and congregate in the cities, and then
their morals would be better" The com.
mittee then organized; they selected Mr.
Ccckrill as chairman and B. M. Hood sec.
retary.
The 4th day of June was selected for the
| next meeting of the State convention, and
Nashville agreed upon as the place.
PROBABLE RESIGNATION OF DIR. ATcHIsoN
DIR. T. A. Atchison, president of the
| Board of Public Works, intimated to re
porter yesterday that he intended resign
ing his position. He said: II have no
resigned yet, but may do 80 before sum
mer. l seem to be in the way OF many
others who wish the place, and l am un
| willing longer to remain in the path o
| their ambition"

THANKSGIVING.

Again we have come to the day set a part for big dinner and as much thankfulness as it is possible to feel. It frequently hurts people to eat big dinners, but there is nc harm and much good in occasionally paying special attention to the causes which the peo- pie of this country, as a nation and as indiv- iduals, have for thankfulness. There have been times when there was more of what is called general prosperity" than there is now, and there have been times when there was less. The thing to be thankful for is that ''the times" are no worse than they are, and that there are signs of an improvement in the business situation. We can be thank ful for the immense crops which make food cheap just when cheap food is needed and for our immunity from pestilence and war. It is another cause for thankfulness that the stability of our institutions has again been demonstrated. Once more the capacity of American people for self-government has been triumphantly attested. Once more it has been shown that our citizens are pos sessed of that intelligence and self-restraint by which alone the endurance of a Republic is made possible The success of one party rather than another is by comparison a secondary matter. It is the success with which the whole nation continues to admin ister it's affairs upon the principles which lie at the foundation of our institutions that is the great cause for congratulation and thank fitness.
 There is abundant reason to be thankful for national blessings. And the individual who cannot find something to be thankful for on his own account is in a very bad way To be sure, his lot may not be all that is de- sirable, but most people have great deal to be thankful for which they do not at all appreciate until they deliberately sum up their blessings. A little time spent in that way to-day will be neither unpleasantly nor unproftably spent. It will teach the fair minded that they have quite as many bless ings as they deserve, and help them to bear their woes better.
 This is a good day to remember the poor and those who have none to help them There are in this city many people who will not be very warm very we'll fed to-day un- less somebody looks after them. A kind deed is wonderful aid to digestion, and if before you sit down to dine you make sure that you have helped to make somebody's Thanksgiving happy your dinner will not be so apt to hurt you.
 We hope that all our readers will enjoy the day, the turkey, etc. Thanksgiving Day is pleasant and a useful institution. May it be long before this people shall be unwilling to give thanks unto the Lord for all his ben efts

The island of Java is rapidly recovering from the effects of the dreadful volcanic eruption of last year. Commerce has been restored, and the products have been unusu- ally large this season. The exportations of ivory, nutmegs, cinnamon and other spices will exceed in bulk those of former years. None of the coffee plantations have resumed, however, there being a supply of coffee on hand sufficient to meet the wants of com meree for three years. Since the volcanic eruption the waters of the sea have receded gradually, and the shape of the island s now very nearly what it formerly was. Monu- ments will be erected to mark the sites of the destroyed cities and villages.

Washington Territory wants to get into the United States. It has no dabt On the con- trary it's treasury shows balance on hand of $50, 900, while the property assessed within it's limits is estimated to be worth $50 5OO- 900. At present it's population is said to be 15O, 900, which is perhaps overestimate, as it was 5000 in 1880, and the fact that women vote in the Territory renders it less easy to estimate population from the number of bal lots east.

Natural gas as fuel is driving coal out of Pittsburg. It costs no great sum to dig a well, with the flow once started the only ex- pense is in maintaining the pipes, and hence it is impossible for coal or anything else to compete with the gas on it's own ground. Manufacturers are using it more and more, and a we'll boring concern in Allegheny county has bought 10000 tons of pipe to be laid in the cities of Allegheny and Pittsburg, and it is said that if the supply of gas holds out coal will disappear from use in all that part of the State.

The Rev. Dr. Burchard finds much diff eulty in explaining himself to his own satis- faction In his last Sunday $ sermon he said: ''God can commit his interests to the most unpromising instruments and by devious way bring about the desired end. Often things seem to be in the utmost peril to us, but they are in real danger. Gods nigh ty work goes steadily forward, though the agencies which he employs may stumble and fall. A single mishap, single mistake, may sometimes do great deal of seeming harm, but the hand of God is in it and His ends will surely be reached. This thought may often be comfort to many of us.''
