THE PooR-The Township Trustee
has been very busy for the last few
days attending the wants of the desti-
tute of the city. This cold weather
has made the calls for wood and coal
more frequent. There are many who
have been assisted through the kind
ness of the Ladies Union Benevolent
Society, and many more who still need
assistance, but the number is by no
means as large as might have been
expected in city the size of this. 1t
is gratifying to know that the poor of
this place are being so well cared for.
It speaks well for the charitable dis

the Benevolent Society rooms In
fact all kinds of contributions of
clothing, provisions, &C., will be ac-
ceptable and appropriated to a good
purpose.

In response to the stringency Of the
times, and to enable them to reach q
greater number Of readers, during the
perilOus trials through which the coun~
try is passing, the proprietors of the
UNION AND DISPATCH have determined to
again reduce the terms of subscription,
and hereby announce to their patrons
and the public that from this date, these
terms viii be:


For the Daily Union and Dispatch. per


For the Tri-Weeekly Union and Dispatch.

Having led of, about year ago, in q
reduction of the subscription price of the
Nashville papers from fourteen to tpeire
dollars per annum for the daily-making
corresponding reduction in the price
of the tri-weekly edition-we take
pleasure in being again the pioneer in
still further reduction, to the same ex~
tent We have thus brought down the
price of a frst-class political CONNER
cial and news journal in Tennessee, to
nearly the ante-war prices


Our purpose is to practice what we
preach. We are for retrenchment and
economy in every vocation of life. The
discreet and honest newspaper is now
necessity in every intelligent and
well ordered household, and we are re-
solved to furnish the UNION AND DISPATCH
for the least possible living price, pres
cisely as all the other necessaries of life
ought to be furnished The time has
passed for grand speculations in the legiti-
mate avocations of life in this community.
Rather we should desire to see every
branch of Tennessee trade and industry
become a mutual help and assistance,
each to the other, and so lay the founda-
tions of general prosperity wide and
deep, in the primary elements of self
dependence and local independence.
We send abroad for nothing that we can
obtain at home, and thus we unite our
fortunes, as we'll as our lives, with those
among whom we live.


At our present rates the several edi-
tions Of the UNION AND DISPATCH will be
within the reach of all who feel an in
terest in the great events that are daily
passing into the history of the country
and we trust that our effort will meet a
substantial appreciation on the part o
our patrons and the general public.

Laboring men are beginning to calculate
the difference between the cost of living now
and the cost in 1859, before the republican
party came into power. A laborer down in
Maine has set the example and given US the
benefit of his calculation in the Bangor
Democrat, as follows:


For four days work in 1859 / could buy bar
rel Of excellent -four. For an equally good bar
rel now have to work eight days.


For one days work in 1859 could buy five
pounds Of tea. For the same days work | can
now buy but two pounds.


For one days work then could buy thirty
pounds OF sugar. For a days work now l can
get but fifteen pounds.


For a days work in 1859 | could buy eight
pounds of tobacco. For days work now | can
buy but three pounds.


For days work IN 1859 | could buy fifteen
pounds of coffee For days work now / can
buy but FIVE pounds.


For one months work in 1859 could clothe me
and my family for one year. To do the same
now, am obliged TO work two months and a
half

articles that iaboring man and his family con

but one half Of the fruits Of iabor the other

The south seems likely to 60 with rush
for Seymour, and the reason is that the re
publican policy has been made so clear by
congress and the reconstructors that it is i'm
possible to disguise it, especially in that
most offensive point, negro suffrage. On the
other hand there is everything to hope from
the democrats, and the southern peopler read.
ny believe that they will have the sympathy
OF the leaders oFthat party. In ali the

what we have Just Seen in Kentucky, and as

This is nothing but radical game that

Old John McDonough, of New Orleans,
devoted third of his life to the prepara-
ton of his singular will, and even took
the trouble and bore the expense of con-
.sultation with eminent Partisan advocates,
whose approval of his dispositions was
source of great comfort to him. His will
was most carefully written out by himself,
in the most elegant and approved style,
with his name subscribed at the bottom of
every page, and the writing made to fill
the sheets, so az to leave no margin or
space for interlineation. Ii was embraced
in forty pages of foolscap, and besides the
minute and elaborate direction in regard
TO the execution of his proposed grand
charity, was interlarded with pious reflec-
tions and sentiments, which, when read out
in court, gave it the appearance of SER
mon more than of a formal settlement.
For many years before his death, he used
to rub his hands with glee, and his hand
some face would brighten up with pride
and self-gratificatiOn whenever hereferred 10

him down to remote posterily the benefac-
tor of his age. This elaborate and most
studiously prepared will was torn all to
pieces by the courts and lawyers, and the
grand estate, intended 10 bless and elevate
generations of the poor and unfortunate,
was squandered in the most reckless and
Improbable manner, and TO this day not
