FRIDAY MORNING, NOV'R. 9, 16C6.
College Meeting last Honday.
Pursuant to anuouncement, a meeting of
tlie citizens of Giles county was held nt the
Court House io Pulaski on Monday, 6ih
inet., for the purpose of taking into consider
ation the educational interest of the com
munity and the feasibility of establishing
one or more good high schools at Pulaski.
It )3 a remarkable fact that there is but
one male school of any note in the Slate,
Cumberland University, at Lebanon, all, or
nearly all, having been destroyed during
the war; and it is estimated that, during
the past year, at least 860,000 was gent
from Giles county for educational purposes.
II A we a good school iu our midst this
expenditure would have been used at home,
and, toge their with that of students from a
distance, constituted a revenue to the coun
ty of at leant SI 50,000 or 8200,000 per
annum, aside from the advantage of parents
having their children at home. This, of
itself, is a great' consideration, aside from
the many other advantages to the entire
community.
On motion of Maj.T. M. Joxes, Col. Aw.
Abernatuy was called to the Chair, and
R. R. Reed and Silas FtouRNor requested
to act as Secretaries of the meeting.
Col. Solon E. Rose delivered one of his
usual eloquent appeals in behalf of the
measure, urging upon the citizens .he ne
cessity of immediate and decisive action.
Gen.'Jfco. C. Brown and Hon Jas. McCal
lum also addressed the meeting, urging the
prompt cooperation of every citizen in the
county.
A fund must be raised to liquidate the
indebtedness of the old College, and to this
end every one should put their shoulders
to the wheel and all work together to the
attainment of the end in view.
You should take into consideration that
your property will be enhanced in value
almost" two fold. Why is it that landed
property in the neighboring counties of
Maury, Rutherford, Davidson and William
son commands higher prices by 40 to 50
per cent, than Giles, when it is well known
that the land of Giles is the best and most
productive in Middle Tennessee? It is at
tributable to their Bchools and the enter
prise of their citizens. In each of those
counties there is at least one or more good
female sohools, while we have none.
There is every benefit to be derived from
the establishment of good schools, to the
farmer, merchant, mechanic and every
"branch of business and all citizens alike.
Without schools and other institutions of
public interest, we can but hope to ever
remain &t the foot of the hill of enterprise,
and retrograde rather than advance in point
of intelligence and refinement, and the youth
of our country grow up in ignorance and
profligacy. Then let us make a vigorous
effort, and place Pulaski and Giles county
at the top notch and afford our posterity
every facility for acquiring .an education
and give employment to those of our citi
zens so competent as teachers and in whom
we have so much confidence.
On motion of Maj. Nath. Adams it was
proposed to take subscriptions payable in
six, twelve and eighteen months in equal
instalments payments to begin when the
Trustees shall have raised a fund of 625,
000.
After some little discussion tliis wa3 de
ferred for the present; in the course of
which Hon. Tnos. Martin announced to
the meeting that ho had received a check
for $100 from a citizen of Nashville, not at
all interested in Pulaski, in furtherance of
the object.
Maj. B. P. Rot subscribed 8100 in the
name of bis firm, Stratton, Cbeeny & Roy,
of Nashville. "
On motion, the following gentlemen were
appointed a temporary Board of Trustees:
Meesrs. Teos. Martin, S. E. Ross, T. M.
Jones,, J. C. Brown, N. Adams.
On motion of Maj. Adams, a committee
of three io each. Civil District in the coun
ty are to be appointed to canvas the dis
tricts in aid of this purpose. Will be an
nounced in future.
Hon. Tuos. Martin proposed to be one
of fifteen subscribing 630,000 to prosecute
the building, tc, and if not sufficient, to
"bring in the trimmings" afterward; or
would subscribe 5,000 to aid the Trus
tees in raising $'50,000 conditioned that
that sum should be raised. Bully for
Mr. Martin.
Adjourned to Saturday, 17th inst., when
all citizens favoring the establishment of
good schools in our midst, and the ladies
especially," are invited and earnestly so
licited to attend.
From Mexico:
A dispatch of the C'h inst. says Maxi
milian has left the City of Mei.ico for Vera
Crus, en route for Europe.
General Sherman and Col. Campbell,
our Mexican Minister, will sail in the steam
er Susquehanna in a few days,-to assume a
protectoiate of that Republic until a general
election for President and ConorrAss cm be
hr-U.

County Heetinj last llonday.
A larg8 number of citizen3 of Giles coun
ty assembled at the Court House on Mon
day, 5th inst., for the purpose of consider-
Piof the matter 'of the recent election.
On motion of Hon. T. M. Jones, Col.
Alf. Aeernatht was called to the Chair,
and R. it. Reed and Silas Flocrnot re
quested to act as Secretaries.
The Chairman briefly announced the
purpose of the meeting, explaining that by
virtue of the Governor's Proclamation an
election was held on the 1 st inst., for Repre
entative in the General Assembly. That
there are Ie63 than one hundred voters in
the county, by report of the Commissioner
of Registration. In consequence of some
misgivings, 'false representations and mis
understandings, the polls were not opened
in many of "the Districts; eo that there
could not he an expression of the sentiments
of the people.
Hon. Jas. McCallum then addressed the
meeting and presented the following reso
lutions: Resolved, That the people of Giles county
are desirous of manifesting their ready ac
quiescence1 in all measures calculated to
promote peace and harmony at home and
abroad, and the general welfare of the whole
nation, and that we are disposed to frater
nize with all law-abidiDg citizens.
Resolved, That the people of Giles coun
ty desire the services of our fellow-citizen,
John A. Jackson, in the present session of
our State Legislature, and to this end re
quest him to claim his certificate of election
thereto and take hia seat and serve as a
member thereof.
Pending the adoption of the above, a few
remarks were made by Hon. T. M. Jones
and Gen. Jno. C. Brown, endorsing them.
On motion, the resolutions were unani
mously adopted, and Messrs. McCallum,
Albert Buford, Hardy, Sanders, Edwards,
Hart and Chas. Abernathy were appointed
a committee to wait upon Mr. Jackaon and
inform him of the action of the meeting.
Subsequently the following correspond
ence was handed to us for publication:
Correspondence.
Hon. John A. Jackson: The action of
the meeting held this day, to take into con
sideration the result of the late election, was
such as to urge the importance of your oc
cupying the vacant seat. In view of this,
on motion the undersigned were appointed
a committee to tender you the considera
tions of the meeting, and to request you to
procure the proper certificate of election
and take your seat in the Legislative Body
of the State of Tennessee.

Gentlemen: 'Your favor informing me of
the proceedings of a public meeting this
day held at the court-house has been re
ceived. For this expression of their confi
dence, please accept for yourselves and the
citizens composing the meeting my grateful
acknowledgments. The election ordered,
from some cause, as I am informed by the
sheriff, has not been held in accordance
with the law; and of course no certificate
of election will be issued to any one. I
deeply regret that the people of our county,
having so deep an interest in the questions
agitating the country, have no voice in the
Legislature.
I have done all I can, and shall continue
to use every effort in my power, whether as
a public or private citizen, to restore peace
and harmony and prosperity to our once
happy, but now distracted and oppressed
country.
Permit me, gentlemen, through you to
tender to the citizens and to yourselves my
high regards. Yours respectfully,
Jo ijn A. Jackson.

Editor Citizen Dear Sir: We have
bought from our customers 61,696 worth
of dried fruit this fall and summer, for which
the cash has been realized. We believe as
much more could and would have been
saved if the people had known that theyl
'could dispose of it eo easily. We are ear-
roundod by other business houses which of
course get their share of the fruit trade.
We do not believe that any neighborhood
can beat this, and, not to assume egotism,
we do not believe that any community in
the State surpasses ours in industry and
economy, especially the female part of our
Community. Your friends,
Ezkll & McGuire.

dence of Mrs. Mary Ann Hoggatt, Clover

The Emperor of Austria is not satisfied
with the result of the late war. He has
learned no other lesson from his defeat than
that of an unconquerable hate and an un
dying desire for revenge. He is already
massing once more his legions. Every man,
almost every child, capable of bearing arms,
is to be taught the art of war, and measures
are being taken to render possible a vast
conscription of the entire population of the,
Austrian Empire. The dogged obstinacy
of the Hapsburgs is as rampant as ever,
and the otherwise eminently praiseworthy
young Emperor is determined to strike ont
more blow for the .restoration of bis once
mighty empire to her old rank in the coun
cils of nations.
A Frenchman who bad been, in India,

A Valtjatile Recipe. A correspondent
of an exchange writes that six years' ex
perience has convinced him that a coat of
gum copal varnish applied to the soles of
boots and shoes, and repeated as it dries,
until the pores are filled and the surface
shines like polished mahogany, will make
the soles waterproof, and also cause them to
last much longer than ordinary soles.
Northern Elections.
The Radical Disunionists, as the returns
ahow, carried every State in Tuesday's elec
tions not by such overwhelming majori
ties as they predicted and we anticipated
but by a demonstration of sufficient strength
as to induce gloomy forebodings for the
future. Xash. Banner, 8A.
It is said that the Pope will remove to
Jerusalem, making that city the capital of
Latin Christianity. The Greeks, too, are
woing to attempt to revive the Greek Em

Cathedral.
An African baby elephant has arrived in

the circle." His performances don't pro
mise to be remunerative, either. ITash.

The Augusta Constitutionalist, of 18th
ult., says of Alexander H. Stephens: "We
had, on yesterday, the honor of a visit from
that illustrious Georgion one of the last
of those grand men who made American
Republicanism a glory in the earth, and
live to see it a polution. It will be grati
fying to his many friends m all sections to
know that his health is measurably restored.
We have seldom 6een him looking so well.
Like Phocion, amid the discords of Greece,
he stands the same incorruptible and philo
phic sage, amid the broils of the United
States."
Eternity.
"Eternity has no gTay- hairal"" 'The
flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows
old and dies; the world lies down in the
sepulchre of ages, but time writes no wrink
les on the brow of eternity.
Eiernity! Stupendous thought! The
ever-present, unborn, undecaying the
endless chain, compassing the life of God
the golden tiread, entwining the universe.
Earth hath its beauties, but Time shrouds
then? for the grave; its honors, they are but
the gilded sepulchres; its possessions are
but toys of changing fortune; its pleasures
are but bursting bubbles. Not so in the
untried bourne. In the dwelling of the
Almighty, can come no footstep of decay.
Its day will know no darkning eternal
splendors forbid the approach of night Its
fountains will never fail, they are fresh
from the eternal throne. Its glory will
never wane, for there is the ever present
God. Its ha.rruoDiea.will never cease; ex
hauslless love supplies the song.

The Legislature.
No quorum was present in either House
yesterday. Less than half a dozen Senators
and twenty-seven Representatives answered
to their names.
Some jdea of the distressed condition to
which the people of this State and of the
South have been reduced by the war, may
be derived from the fact that the tax col
lector of Rhea county advertises for sale
over 15,000 acres of land belonging to de
linquent tax payers, and that in no case
does the amount due the county exceed five
dollars. Banner.
