The Nashville Sun of recent date say:
"Dr. Paul kirkpatrick, physician at
the Central Hospital for the Insane
gave twenty Of the inmates an outing
at the Centennial yesterday.
Most Of those in the party have been
in the hospital since 1872, and 1t is
more than probable that some Of them
will remain there many years more.
Among the number in the party yes.
terday was Gen. Thomas B. Smith, one
of the youngest Brigadier Generals In
the Confederate army. His case Is O

on surrender to a Federal officer, and
no sooner had the officer received II
than he struck Gen. Smith q blow on
the head, which came near causing bis
death. Since that time he has been oil

damned to everlasting infamy the
cowardly brute who committed this
%atrocious act by publishing his name,
