M^ BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 27 Tennessee, a workwtich should be in the hands of every Tennesseean; O and to its interesting pages we are ahuost entirely indebted for the c^ facts here narrated. bd The meetings of the settlers were called "the meetings of the g» Notables," and the government of the "Judges, General Arbitriers or h^ Triers," was established, with power to punish crime, aid the needy, ^ assess fines, regulate military defenses, land entries, etc. There were ^ seven stations in the surrounding country, which were represented at td Nashborough, making eight in all. The nearest one of these stations ^ was located at the present horticultural garden, north of the city. Joseph Hay was the first white man killed by the Indians, and he © was buried in the open ground east of the Sulphur Spring. Soon ^ after. Dr. Larimer was killed near Freeland's Station fat the horti- © cultural garden); Solomon Phillips was shot near the present Hume ^ school building, and died at the fort a few days after. S. Murray and 03 Robert Aspey were killed at the same spot where Phillips was oj wounded. Isaac Lefevre was shot and killed while fishing near where P the present work-house stands. These were the first scenes of blood- ©' shed at this place among the whites. ^ At the place now occupied as a hotel, at the corner of Cedar and CD Cherry streets, which was then a low wet spot, covered with a thick-set P undergrowth, Philip Catron was badly wounded in the chest, but p^ finally recovered. John Coff'ey and Daniel Williams were wounded ^ near the fort, but Captain Rains and two or three others were near, 5 and rushed to the rescue. The Indians who committed these depre- co dations, were Creeks and Chcrokecs, with a few Delawares or Shaw- ^ nees. We make no mention of scenes of a similar character p ti'anspiring near the other stations, confining ourselves to a running ^ account of what occurred on the soil now occupied by the city of " Nashville. Colonel Putnam, in his History of MidJle Tennessee, gives ^ a true and fiiithful account of every thing of interest at all the stations, ^ together with many incidents in the lives of the early settlers. O In the summer of 1780, Robert Gilkie sickened and died, and was ^ the first man of the settlers that died a natural death. Philip Conrad _ O was killed by a tree falling on him, near the present junction of Cherry ts" and Demonbreun streets. 2 Captain Lciper was the first man married in the settlement, and his was the first wedding west of the Cumberland Mountains, and the ceremony was performed by Colonel Robertson, who was at the head « of the government of Notables, in the summer of 1780. There was a r*" 28 singleton's nashville fecast and dancing at this wedding. Eoasting-ears were the great delicacy for the ladies on the interesting occasion, while the men had dried meat, buffalo tongue and venison. No liquor or sj^irits was used. John Rains is entitled to the credit of introducing neat cattle and horses upon the west side of Cumberland river, and into this section of the State, and his example has not been lost upon his posterity. Rains was a "mighty hunter," and in one winter killed thirty -two bears within seven miles of the fort, mostly in Harpeth Knobs, south of Nashville. On the 2d of April, 1781, occurred the "Battle of the Bluff," which took place in the canebrake, along the branch, just south of Broad street. It was a "hard fight," although the whites lost but few men. The first male child born in Nashville, was Dr. Felix Robertson, the sixth child of Colonel James Robertson, whose birth occurred on the 11th of January, 1781. Dr. Robertson is still with us, living on Cherry street, "ripe in years and full of honors," esteemed and beloved by more than thirty thousand of his immediate fellow-citizens. A treaty was held here in June, 1783, between Commissioners from Virginia — General Robertson and the settlers on one side, and the Indians on the other — which resulted in a better understanding between the whites and Indians, and after which, comparative peace was obtained for a short time. The American Revolution had closed, and general good feeling prevailed, as life and property seemed to be more secure. North Carolina sent out Commissioners to look into the preemption rights of the settlers, and also to lay off twenty-five thousand acres of land, which the General Assembly of that State proposed to give to General Greene, for his extraordinary services in the war of the Revolution. These Commissioners were accompanied by a guard of one hundred soldiers, and several families of emigrants, and valuable additions were made to the infant settlement. It is proper to remark, however, that at different times, from 1780 to 1790, a portion of those who came here, removed to Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, and other points. So that the number of permanent settlers was not very large, at any time, and some of these were scattered over the surrounding country. John Montgomery was the first sheriff under the Notables, but being suspected of belonging to "Colbert's Gang," in piratical or fili- bustering operations, he left the settlement, and Thomas Fletcher was BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 29 elected and sworn in by the Committee as slierilT. All the proceed- O ings were dated " North Carolina, Cumberland District." ►^ But the government of Notables passed away in 1783, and North K Carolina spread her motherly wings over the settlers, by issuing Com- gp missions to Isaac Bledsoe, Samuel Barton, Francis Prince and Isaac ^^ Linsay, to organize an Inferior Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions ^ at Nashboro'. ''This Inferior Court," says Putnam, "was invested ^ with extraordinary powers — not unlike or much inferior to those fd which the Committee Government or Notables had exercised for E years previous. This newly created State Tribunal was, indeed, clothed with legislative, military and judicial powers, as may be seen q by an examination of the Acts of Assembly; and, to men so well ^ skilled and accustomed to the exercise of such high prerogatives, the o continuance of powers and functions under a new name caused no ^ inconvenience." on On the Gth of October, the members of the Court were qualified ; ©3 and, of course, elected Andrew Ewin, clerk, and as he had to give a p bond in the sum of two thousand pounds for the faithful performance g° of his duties, he added a g to his name, and ever after spells his ^ name Ewing. 00 A court-house and prison were ordered to be erected — the former to p be eighteen feet square ! with benches, bar and table for the use of p^ the Court — court-house and prison to be of hewed logs ! The con- j^ tract for these buildings was let at public vendue, October 14th, to ^ the lowest bidder. to The Court was again convened in January, 1784, and were assisted ^ by four Justices, appointed at the same time, but not previously pres- p ent, to-wit: James Robertson, Thomas Mulloy, Anthony Bledsoe and O David Smith. ^ By acts of the Assembly of North Carolina, in April and May, ^ 1784, a town was established at the Bluff, called Nashville, etc., and from July ist, of that year, it is never known as Nashboro', but Nash- © ville. The Commissioners of the town were directed to lay off 200 ^ acres of land near to, but not to include, the French Lick, in lots of one acre each, with convenient streets, lanes and alleys — reserving four tr* acres for public buildings. Those who subscribed to lots should draw ^ for choice, and were to receive deeds, with the condition that within ^ three years thereafter they should build a "well-framed, log, brick or ^ stone house, 16 feet square at least, (!) and eight feet clear in the o* pitch!" S. Barton, Thos. Mulloy and James Shaw were the Directors c+- 30 singleton's NASHVILLE appointed by North Carolina, and the deeds executed by them are among the first titles recorded in Davidson county. A ferry was established by order of the Court, across the Cumber- land, at a point above the Sulphur Lick Branch, and rates of ferriage fixed. Notwithstanding the appearance of these buds of civilization, the Indians soon after became troublesome, instigated by Spanish agents. At the session of the Legislature, Colonel Robertson obtained the passage of "An act for the promotion of learning in the county of Davidson," and named nine Trustees. This was the 29th of Decem- ber, 1785, and the school was called "Davidson Academy," and sub- sequently "Davidson College," and now the "University of Nashville." Lardner Clark, "merchant and ordinary keeper," was the first man to open a dry-goods store in Nashville, which he did in 1786. His stock of goods was packed on ten horses, and came from Philadelphia, through the State of Virginia, East Tennessee, and part of Kentucky. Mr. Clark's goods consisted of cheap calicoes, unbleached linens and coarse woolens; and he combined liquor-selling and tavern-keeping with his dry-goods operations. Wearing apparel, until then, was composed almost entirely of dressed skins. Mr. Clark took peltries in exchange for his goods — in fact, there was very little money in cir- culation in those primitive times, and skins and furs answered very well as a circulating medium. We must not omit to mention that in 1785, the first physician made his appearance, in the person of John Sappington, who compounded pills, covering them with mystei-y and a coat of sugar, and were exten- sively known as " Saj)pington's Pills." Edward Douglas and Thomas Mulloy announced that they would practice law in all the courts in Davidson county. They were men of sound practical sense, and of good business talent, but had never studied law as a science. A few pamphlet laws of North Carolina were all the law books which were in the county for several years. These gentlemen were good talkers, and soon had clients. Another licensed tavern was soon opened, and in 1787 there were about half a dozen framed and log houses, and twenty or thirty cabins. Tavern rates were established by law, as follows: "One-half pint of whisky, such as will sink tallow, two shillings; bowl of toddy, made with loaf sugar and whisky, three shillings and sixpence; one quart bowl punch, with fruit, ten shillings; dinner and grog, four shillings and sixpence." Corn was ordered to be received for taxes at two BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 31 shillings and eightpence per bushel ; good fat bear meat, if delivered f2 where troops are stationed, fourpence per pound; fine buffalo beef, ^ threepence; good venison, if delivered as aforesaid, ninepence; dried bd beef, sixpence; salt, two shillings and fourpence per pound. g^ [n 1787 the twenty-six one-acre lots, which had been sold for four j^ pounds each. North Carolina currency, were taxed at one dollar — C^ total, twenty-six dollars. The first assessment of real estate was in g this year. td Among those who subscribed for town lots in Nashville, was one E James C. Montflorence, a French spy; but to cover his operations, he subscribed for town lots, bought and sold tracts of land, gave dinners o and wine parties generously, talked politics knowingly, gallanted p^ ladies handsomely, circulated extensively, and flourished grandly, o His residence in Europe, and the position he occupied near the (^ American Commissioners, his connection with Governor Davie, of a South Carolina, and his extensive general information and fine con- z/i versational powers, made him a welcome guest at the houses of Rob- P ertson, Smith, Bledsoe, Menees, Prince, Montgomery, and others. He o* was a decided character, and attracted a good deal of attention in this q "lodge in the wilderness." en In 1788 the Constitution of the United States, which had been po a adopted by ten States, was voted upon by this settlement, and almost ^ unanimously rejected. ^ We have no space to record the organization of Sumner county, 5 taken ofi" of Davidson, the establishment of Tennessee county, the ai District of Mero, the Ijidian depredations in the neighborhood, the y opening of roads, or the plots and counterplots of various kinds, as p to what was best for the settlers in a political point of view. <^ Black Bobb (a negro, of course,) opened a tavern, and for several ^ years kept the most aristocratic hotel in the place. Several others ^ opened ordinances, or houses of entertainment. ^. Andrew Jackson was admitted as an attorney at law January o 12th, 1789. g; In 1789 North Carolina adopted the Constitution. The State of Franklin arose in East Tennessee, and then expired ; and all hands Kr" wheeled into line as members of the confederacy of States. But, in h 1790, North Carolina ceded to the United States all their claims to ^ lands west of the line beginning on the extreme hight of Stone Mountain, where Virginia intersects it, etc.; and the country goes into o a territorial form of government, with the exp>ress provision, however, O 32 singleton's nashville that Congress should not intermeddle with the institution of slavery. President Washington appointed William Blount Governor of the Territory, and he took up his residence near Washington Court-house, hetween the Holston and French Broad Rivers, in East Tennessee. He entered on his duties with energy, and made excellent appoint- ments, and among them, John Donelson as Justice of the Peace for Davidson county. Mero District extended up and down the Cumber- land, from east to west, about 85 miles, and the extreme width, from north to south, did not exceed 25 miles; and the population of the entire district, at this period, was about 7,000, all told, men, women and children, white and black. The number of men able to bear arms, numbered only 1,000 or 1,200. In 1790 President Washington signed the commission appointing Donelson a Major-General of the United States for the District of Mero, in the territory south of the Ohio. The office of District At- torney was intrusted to Andrew Jackson, Esq. 1791—92-93 were noted for Indian murders, horse-stealing, etc., and the retaliation on the part of the whites. A good crop of corn was raised in '92, especially by the McGavocks, at Freehand's Station; north of the city, and it sold for a handsome price. About 50 whites were killed in the settlement in '93, among whom were some of the best settlers. In 1794 the Territorial Legislature convened at Knox- ville, and the State of Tennessee went into operation two years after, having its headquarters at the same place, its admittance into the Union occurring in June, 1796. In 1796 the first church was erected in Nashville, on the Public Square, near the Court-house, jail and stocks. It was known as the Methodist Church, but was torn down or removed in 1807 or 1808. A few business houses, and one small one of brick, went up in 1796 ; and the first fire occurred in this year, and the flames destroyed Captain Williams' and Black's store, in which were many papers, public and private. In 1796, or '97, Thomas Bailey, an Englishman, reached Nashville from Natchez, passing through these Western wilds on a tour of observation, as we learn from the first volume of Parions Life of Jackson, just published. Mr. Bailey became an astronomer of note, and was the founder and first President of the Royal Astronomical Society, at London. In May, 1797, three young Frenchmen arrived in Nashville, who attracted a good deal of attention, and afi"orded the greatest joy to old BUSINESS DIKECTORY. 33 Monsieur De MonBreun. They were brothers, and sons of the Duke O of Orleans, and the eldest was subsequently known as Louis Philijipe, ^ King of France. They left here in a canoe, proceeding down the bd Cumberland. ^ In 1801 the town was placed under the government of an Intendant ^ and six Commissioners, and a law was passed by the General Assembly ^ to authorize them to levy a tax to build a market-house. Water ^ street was laid o£F and opened in this year. In 1804 the population ^ was 400; and the Legislature authorized the authorities to sink a well on the Public Square, and also to draw a lottery for the extension of the north-eastern boundary of tlie lots on Water street to the Cum- berland river. The Legislature authorized the Commissioners to make certain deeds, etc., and specified land taxes were to be levied, collected, etc. ^ Aaron Burr arrived in Nashville on the 29th of May, 1805, and m was the guest of General Jackson. "A public dinner was given him, and he was caressed and toasted by every one. He came again on the IGth of August of the same year, and had great honor and atten- w o o CT> »2 O tion paid him, and was again the guest of General Jackson. But P 03 when his schemes began to be developed, his name became odious, and he was burnt in effigy by the citizens, in the fall of 1806. p In 1806 the town was incorporated, with a Mayor and six Alder- men, and Joseph Coleman was elected the first Mayor. A newspaper P P* ^ was printed here, called the "Impartial Review and Cumberland Re- O pository," which, we believe, was the first paper printed at this place. ^ The Legislature passed an act of incorporation, specifying what the m town might do, and repealing all acts heretofore passed in relation to p Commissioners, etc. o A fierce war was going on this year between General Jackson and ^ his friends, and Charles Dickinson and others; which led to a duel >^ between these two gentlemen, who went across the Kentucky line, beyond Red river, to fight. Mr. Dickinson was killed, and General © Jackson wounded. Great excitement prevailed. r^ In 1810 the population was about 1,100. At the call of the War Department, thousands of people in this State volunteered for the war fs* against Great Britain in 1812. The second session of the Lefrislature ►^ assembled here. Its previous sessions had been at Knoxville, where *^ the Constitution was framed. CQ In 1813 the celebrated fight between Jackson and Hays and the J^ Bentons (Thomas and Jesse) took place, at the City Hotel, which was % M singleton's NASHVILLE then on tlae same spot it now occupies. The Post-office was then a little south of the hotel, on the square, and the Nashville Inn occu- pied the site now used by Evans & Co., and others, as wholesale dry- goods houses. General James Robertson, the founder of Nashville, died on the 1st of September, 1814, universally regretted. A campaign against the Creek Indians had been going on, and of course Tennessee volunteers were numerous, and in fact, when soldiers were wanted, the Secretary of War had only to say the word, and Tennesseeans flocked to their country's standard in large numbers. Frequently one-third of her whole military force was in the field. The volunteers returned from a campaign in May, 1814, and a dinner was given to them at the Bell Tavern, and Felix Grrundy delivered an address of welcome, which was responded to by General Jackson, on behalf of the volunteers. The subsequent march to New Orleans, and its 8th of January battle, are matters of history well known to every reader. The Nashville Female Academy was incorporated in 1816. Clark^s Miscellany^ in prose and verse, was the first book printed in Nashville. The General Assembly removed their sittings from Nashville to Knoxville in 1816, and subsequently to Murfreesboro' in 1819. In the spring of 1818, the people of Nashville hailed the arrival of the first steamboat at this port. She was 110 tuns burden, and was built at Pittsburg, for General William Carroll, and was named *' General Jackson." General Carroll sold his boat for $33,000, to Messrs. Fletcher, Young & Marr. Freight from here to New Orleans was then five cents. In the course of two or three years, the steamboat business increased considerably, wharves were built, commission and forwarding houses opened, and the place began to put on " city airs." The pioneer boat "General Jackson" was snagged and sunk in Harpeth Shoals, June 20th, 1821. The steamers "General Robertson," "Riflemen," "James Ross," " Fayette," "Feliciana," and "Cumberland," were plying the river, but the latter boat exploded near Eddyville, May 3d, 1821, by which six or seven lives were lost. President Monroe arrived in Nashville on Sunday evening, the 6th of June, 1819, and was the guest of General Jackson, as was also Major-General E. P. Gaines at that time. The President came to town on Wednesday following, in company with Jackson and Gaines, BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 85 and a large company of citizens and military met tliem on College O Hill (now part of South Nashville), where addresses of welcome were j^ delivered by Wilkins Tannehill, Esq., on the part of the Masonic M fraternity, and by Colonel Williamson, on behalf of the military. ^ He was escorted to the residence of Ephraim H. Foster, Esq. (then |^ Mayor of the city), where Hon. John H. Eaton welcomed the distin- ^ guished guest on behalf of the city of Nashville — to all of which Mr. ^ Monroe replied. A public dinner was giveji, and a ball at night, bd The President took his departure on the 11th, through Kentucky, ^ accompanied by General Jackson, as far as the residence of Colonel Richard M. Johnson, in that State. The store of Thomas Deaderick (for whom Deaderick street is named), was robbed of several thousand dollars worth of goods in May, 1820. The financial panic of 1819-20 caused the Farmer's and Mechanic's Bank to suspend specie payment on the 18th of June, 1819, which ^ example was followed by the Nashville Bank, on the 22d, and the p o a o 03 called session the Bank of the State of Tennessee was chartered, with P a capital of one million of dollars, with a branch at Knoxville. The Pj Bank went into operation on the 14th of October, 1820, but it met ^gj with considerable opposition, its opponents declaring that it was a 2 swindling concern, and made matters worse. Instead of better. A co twenty dollar note of the new Bank wiis put up at auction in the t^ town of Carthage, to be sold for silver, and was knocked down at five P, CD 09 Bank of the State of Tennessee on the 29th. The troubles continued, and to such an extent, that Governor McMinn convened the Legislature at Murfreesboro', then the seat of government, in 1820, at which o o cn O o 03 O per cent, premium — some ardent friend of the Bank probably being the purchaser. The steamboat "Rifleman" arrived at this port on the 15th of May, from New Orleans, in the short space of thirty days ! The substantial and elegant Bridge across the river, from the south O end of the square to Gallatin turnpike, was built in 1822. at a cost ^ of 685,000. It was taken down a few years since, but is said to have ^ been the best bridge that ever spanned the Cumberland. ^ In 1823 the population of the place was 3,460, and in 1830 5,566, tt of which 1,108 were slaves, and 204 free negroes. ^ In 1825 there were from fifteen to twenty steamboats running ^ from Nashville to New Orleans, Louisville and Pittsburg. They were o small boats, ranging from thirty-five to two hundred tuns burden, and e+ 36 singleton's nashville several keel-boats were coming here, of almost tlie same carrying capacity. General Lafayette, son and suite, arrived here on the 4th of May, 1825, and were received with the greatest demonstrations of joy. An immense procession was formed, the streets were decorated with arches of evergreens, and patriotic mottoes were inscribed upon them. The General landed on the grounds of Major William B. Lewis, above the AYater-works, where General Jackson and a number of citizens received him, and Governor Carroll addressed him in behalf of the State, tendering him a welcome to Tennessee. The procession, with the military, escorted him into the city, where Robert B. Curry, Esq., the Mayor, addressed him in behalf of the city, and tendered him its freedom and hospitality. The joy of the people knew no bounds, and General Lafayette ever after spoke of his reception in Nashville as one of the most pleasant events in his life. He was taken to the residence of Dr. Boyd McNairy, who threw open his doors to the distinguished Frenchman and his suite. The next day, the General went to the Masonic Hall, where he received the ladies of Nashville in that polite and cordial manner for which he was remarkable. A public dinner was given him at the Nashville Inn, at which General Jackson acted as President, assisted by George W. Campbell, Henry M. Butledge, John Somerville, and Felix Grundy, as Vice Presidents. Our old friend Timothy De MonBreun was at this dinner, and was toasted by Colonel Aiulrew Hynes, as the patriarch of Tennessee, and the first white man that settled in the country. General Lafayette visited the Grand Lodge of Tennessee, the Royal Arch Chapter, and the Masonic fraternity generally, and welcomed by Wilkins Tannehill, Esq., as a friend and a brother. A collation was furnished on the occasion, and all hands had a "good time generally." Before his departure, the General called on Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Littletield (the daughter of his old companion and friend. General Greene, of Revo- lutionary memory), Governor Wm. Carroll, Rev. Dr. Philip Liudslcy, and others. Over one million of dollars worth of cotton were exported from this port in 1825. The Branch Bank of the United States was established in 1827. The city was divided off into six wards in 1826. The Episcopal (Christ) Church, located on the corner of Church and High streets, was built in 1831-2, at a cost of only $1G,000. The Methodist (McKendree) Church was dedicated to the worship of BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 37 God, on tlie last Sunday in October, 1833, by tbe venerable Bisbop O McKendree, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. Douglass, McMalion and ^ Maddin. The Presbyterian Church had no regular pastor till 1821, ^ although Dr. Blackburn organized a church in 1813. Dr. Campbell g» was pastor from 1821 to 182G, when the Rev. Dr. 0. Jennings took ^ charge. lie died in 1831, and there was a vacancy until the 25th of ^ December, 1833, when the Rev. Dr. John T. Edgar was installed as 3 pastor. A Baptist Association was formed here in 1820, but a divi- ^ sion took place in 1825, those holding to the regular Baptist faith E giving up their house and worshiping in the Masonic Hall, until the Rev. Dr. Howell came as pastor, by whose eiforts the present hand- q some edifice on Summer street was erected in 1837. The Cumberland ^ Presbyterian Church was dedicated in May, 1832, and was ready for % the reception of their Gleneral Assembly which convened in that year. ^ It is situated on Summer street. The old Catholic Church, formerly So on the north side of Capitol Square, was built about the year 1830, q^ if we mistake not. p The Union Bank of Tennessee was chartered in 1832, and went g* into operation in 1833. The Planters' Bank was chartered in 1833, g and organized in 1834, with E. B. Littlefield as President, and co Nicholas Hobson as Cashier. The Penitentiary was built in 1830- p 31, by David Morrison, under the direction of the Clovernor and p. Commissioners. The Lunatic Asylum was built in 1833-34, on an ^ elevated spot, south of Vauxhall Garden — which, said Vauxhall Gar- ^ den, was, in that day, "the place" of public resort, and all the public xn dinners, political and social gatherings, etc., were at Vauxhall. It ^ was kept by John Decker, afterward of the firm of Decker & Dyer, p and was a place of fashionable resort. o In 1829-30 our physicians commenced using, for the first time, i** quinine in fevers, and our venerable friend. Dr. Felix Robertson, was J^ the first to so use it, we believe. The highest state of political excitement existed here in 1832, on © the subject of nullification. Mr. Calhoun's position, backed by the «;+; State of South Carolina, where secession was openly avowed, created an excitement in Tennessee, as well as throughout the Union, seldom Xs' equaled. A great Union meeting was held here on the 2nth of ^ December, 1832. Hon. Ephraim H. Foster called the meeting to '^^ order and nominated Governor William Carroll as Chairman, which ^ met the unanimous consent of the meeting. John P. Erwin and d Allen A. Hall were appointed Secretaries. Dr. Samuel Hogg off"ered 5+ 38 singleton's NASHVILLE tlie preamble and resolutions (strong and to the point), and tliey were enthusiastically adopted, after speeches from William G. Hunt, 0. B. Hayes, and others. The steamboat " Lady Jackson," of 200 tuns burden, was bviilt at our lower wharf, and launched on the 4th of August, 1832. The Water-works were established in 1832, an account of which we will embrace in another article. The city received a wonderful impetus, in the way of business and progress, in every department, in 1832-33. Substantial steps "for- ward " were made in trade and commerce, in literature and the fine arts. In the early settlement of this place, the dead were buried on the open grounds near the Sulphur Spring, and at two or three country burial-places in the neighborhood. In 1822 the present City Ceme- tery was commenced being used as a place for interments. Duncan Ilobertson, who came to Nashville in 1806, died May 1st, 1833, aged G3 years. He was, perhaps, the most generous, philan- thropic and benevolent man that ever lived here. We know this is an assertion which will be deemed incredible by those who did not live here in his day, but we believe it to be true. The citizens erected a monument over his grave, from which we copy this sentence from a lengthy inscription: "In the dungeon of the forsaken prisoner, at the bedside of the wretched and friendless, and in the abode of pov- erty and distress, was he almost constantly found. In imitation of his Divine Master, he literally went about doing good." The people of Tennessee having, by vote, decided to call a Conven- tion to revise the Constitution of the State, the Convention convened in this city on the 19th of May, 1834 — Francis B. Fogg and Robert Weakley being the members for this county. While the Convention was in session, General Jackson visited the city, and accepted a public dinner which was tendered him. A good deal of partisan feeling was exhibited at this meeting — the exciting question being "Bank or no Bank." The steamer "John Randolph" was burnt, at our wharf, on the ICtli of March, 1836, by which three lives were lost, all slaves, one of whom was a pilot, and he remained at his post till the rope burnt and the boat became unmanageable. The " Randolph " took fire before landing, the flames spread rapidly, but the boat touched the wharf, and afterward swung out into the stream, and burnt to the water's edge, in sight of nearly the entire population of the place. The amount of freight lost was valued at over two hundred thousand BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 39 dollars. The boat was owned by J. & R. Yeatman & Co., and was C2 the largest boat on our waters, and the pride of our port. ^ The House of Industry for Females, was established in 1837, Mrs. t^ M. R. Fogg, Mrs. R. H. McEwen, Mrs. Dickinson, Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. gs Grundy, and other ladies being on the board of managers. yq The Sisters of Charity established a hospital about this time, ^ attached to the Catholic Church, which has been successfully car- ^^ ried on. H The great financial revulsion of 1837, caused a suspension of specie ^ payments by our Banks, and a considerable depreciation in the price of real estate. A number of citizens left the city and State, a few for the North-western States, but the larger number for Texas, which ^ was then the " grand attraction " for every body in the country, who ^ was dissatisfied with his home. Nashville suffered considerably this ^ year, in wealth and population. A majority of those who removed cq were in debt, some of them hopelessly insolvent, while a few simply „ desired to better their condition. p" The Hon. John Catron received his appointment as one of the o o Supreme Judges of the United States, in 1837. S en The I. 0. 0. F. made their first public parade in Nashville, on the 1st of June, 18-10. p The Whig; Convention here on the 17th of August, 1840, was §_ very largely attended. The political campaign of that year is known ^ as the "log cabin and hard cider campaign," and excitement ran high. O OS Henry Clay and John J. Crittenden were here, and Mr. Clay partool of the hospitalities of Dr. Boyd McNairy, while here. During the ^ summer and autumn, the "Harrison Guards," the "Nashville Blues," S and the " Straightouts," were constantly on the streets. o The Hon. Felix Grundy died at his residence in this city on the ^ 19th of December, 1840. He had occupied various positions of i^ honor, and was once United States Senator from this State, and Attorney General of the United States, in Mr. Van Burcn's Cabinet, q* He was buried with Masonic honors, and an immense concourse of a week or two after, in five days and twenty-three hours, and the o' " Nashville," putting forth all her energies, made the upward trip in co five days and nineteen hours. This was in June. q5 Several gentlemen of distinction were here in the spring of 1843 ; p among them Major General Edmund P. Gaines, who stopped at the q' City Hotel ; General Robert Patterson, of Philadelphia, who accepted ^ the hospitalities of his old friend. Colonel H. H. McEwen ; Hon. on Alex. Porter, United States Senator from Louisiana, who stopped P with his friend, Major Alex. Allison. F. P. Blair was at the Her- ^ mitage, on a visit. Generals Gaines and Patterson I'eviewed the mil- 5^ itary (the " Guards " and " Blues "), and then went out to General 5 Harding's, six miles from the city, where they were hospitably m entertained. ^ The Fourth of July was celebrated this year with unusual anima- P tion ; and among other modes, the military had an encampment from ^ the first to the fifth, and invited the military from neighboring towns. ° The Clarksville and Franklin companies accepted the invitation, and the encampment (which was at Walnut Grove) was named Camp © •-j Gaines, and the following ofiicers were appointed : General Harding, o Commander-in-chief; Major McNairy, Aid-de-camp ; Captain Haynes, Adjutant General; Major Barnes, Adjutant Major; and Dr. W. J). O Dorris, Surgeon. t^ TJl In the autuilin of 1843, Marshal Bertrand, of France, accompanied by his son, Napoleon Bertrand, and his Aid, M. Mansoe, arrived, and partook of the hospitalities of Chief Justice Catron, after visiting the Herm.itage. Marshal B. returned the visits of Governor Jones, d General Carroll and General Armstrong. e-»- 4 42 singleton's nashville The new Constitution, adopted in 1834, provided that the seat of government should he permanently fixed during the first week of the session of the General Assembly in 1843, and a good deal of interest was felt on the subject. The Legislature convened on Monday, Octo- ber 1st, and on Thursday the Senate voted to locate the seat of gov- ernment at Kingston, and the House voted to fix it at Murfreesboro'. But finally, on Saturday, October 7th, the city of Nashville was agreed upon by both Houses, and became the seat of government. The corporation bought Campbell's Hill, for the State-house, at a cost of $30,000, which they gave to the State. Major Henry M. Rutledge, only son of Hon. Edward Rutledge, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Francis B. Fogg, Esq., January 20th, 1844. The Legislature, and all the courts of law in session, adjourned to attend his funeral. Thomas Crutcher, who had been a citizen here for half a century, died on the 8th of March, 1844, and had the largest funeral procession that had ever been seen in Nashville. He was a good and benevolent man, the best friend the Nashville Female Academy ever had, and in life had occupied positions of trust and honor. Wm. McNeil, also a resident here for more than half a cen- tury, died on the 21st of the same month. And the next day Gen- eral Wm. Carroll expired. He had lived here thirty-four years, twelve of which he was Governor of the State. His military ser- vices are well known to the country. A public meeting was held, and resolutions adopted expressive of the feelings of his fellow-citizens. Testimonies of respect were adopted by the Circuit Court, then in session, by the trustees of the University, the directors and officers of the Insurance Companies, etc. The demise of these old and esteemed citizens, following so closely one upon another, caused a profound and melancholy sensation among our people, and the writer well remem- bers that the morning after the death of Governor Carroll, he went to Capitol Hill at daylight, for purposes of meditation, where he was soon joined by the venerable Robert Farquharson (himself an old resident), who spoke afl'eetingly of the rapidity of death's doings, and lamented the departure of friends who had been so long familiar to himself and to the people of the city. He mentioned many, many changes on these streets since he first came here, and said that ''you young men will see greater changes than these in half the time, but whether for the better or not, may be doubtful." The conversation, though brief, was one which made a strong impression. On the Gth BUSINESS DIRECTORY.

Q The corner- stone of the Second Presbyterian Church was laid April ^ 25th. 1844. M The Presidential campaign of 1844 was characterized by an excite- ^ meiit little inferior to the campaign of 1840. Each party had amass " convention here that year. Hon. Cave Johnson was the President of o the Democratic convention, and General Lewis Cass, of Michigan, Mr. p^ Mellville, of New York, Messrs. Wise and John A. MeCalla, of Ken- o tucky, were the principal speakers. This convention was held in Jp" August, and the Whig convention was held the week following, of co which Hon. John Bell was President, and S. S. Prentiss, of jMissis- oj sippi, Clingman and Rayner, of North Carolina, Marshall and LTnder- P wood, of Kentucky, Albert Pike, of Arkansas, Randal Hunt, of New o' Orleans, and Judge Hopkins, of Alabama, the principal speakers. § Each party erected liberty poles, and their military companies were ca parading the streets almost daily. The contest was between Mr. Clay P and Mr. Polk. Notwithstanding the great excitement, the election p^ passed off in quietness and with good order, in November. ^ On the 21st of January, 1845, a fire occurred on the corner of 2 Broad and Market streets, destroying a block of stores belonging to on General Zollicoffer. tS Thomas H. Fletcher, who had lived here from 1809, died of apo- p plexy, alone in his office, on Sunday, January 12th, 1845, He had ^ been a successful lawyer, and only the day bei'ore his death had i° exerted himself to an unusual degree in a speech of two hours and a ^ half, in the case of the State rs. Merchant. All the courts passed ^ resolutions of condolence. Colonel Robert Weakley, who had occu- o pied many posts of favor in military and civil life, and who was one gi of the earliest settlers here (having arrived before a single house was built in Nashville), died at his residence in the country, 3d of Feb- ty' ruary, 1845. ^ Hon.

The artist, Heally, sent here by the King of France (Louis Phil- ippe), to paint the portrait of General Jackson, completed his work at the Hermitage in May, 1845, and the picture was on exhibition for several days at the residence of one of our prominent citizens. General Andrew Jackson died on Sunday evening, the 8th of June, 1845, and various meetings were held on the subject. General Sam Houston, of Texas, arrived here the same day, but reached the Her- mitage after the death of his distinguished friend. A large number of our citizens attended the burial at the Hermitage. The corner-stone of the Capitol was laid on the 4th of July, 1845, with imposing ceremonies. The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad was " on the stocks " this year, and engrossed considerable attention. The progress of the city in buildings and improvements was marked and general — about one hundred houses were erected, including two churches and one hotel. General Robert Armstrong, who had been postmaster here from 1829 to 1845, gave up the office, having been appointed consul at Liv- erpool by President Polk. The war with Mexico commenced in 1846, and the Nashville Blues, the Harrison Guards and Texas Volunteers (military companies) promptly tendered their services to the Governor. The Guards had previously disbanded, but Captain R. C. Foster, 3d, reorganized his company in an hour, and immediately reported themselves to the Governor. Military companies all over the State did the same thing, and it soon became apparent that not half of those offering their ser- vices could be accepted, as the War Department at Washington only called for 50,000 men in the whole Union. In Nashville, the " Har- rison Guards " and the "Blues " considered themselves highly favored by being accepted. These companies embraced many of the noblest young men of the city. General B. F. Cheatham was captain of the Blues. They were mustered into service on the 28th of May, their services having been tendered ten days previously. Twelve companies assembled here, and at an election for regimental officers of this First Regiment Tennessee Volunteers, General Wm. B. Campbell, of Smith county, was elected Colonel Commandant, Captain Samuel R. Ander- son was elected Lieutenant Colonel, being then of Sumner county. R. B.

Taylor presented the flag, accompanied by an jj address, to which General Campbell responded, on behalf of the vol- ^ unteers. This flag went through the war, was the first American flag S hoisted as a signal of victory on the hights of Monterey, and came ^ back, after the war, " tattered and torn by bullets," and returned to F^ the Academy. Two years since, Eev. C. D. Elliott presented this flag "* to the Historical Society of Tennessee, in the presence of an immense © assemblage at Watkiu's Grove. It is now in possession of the Society ^ at the Capitol. The additional luster shed upon the military charac- o ter of Tennessee by their chivalrous conduct in the Mexican war, is ^ well known to every one. The first regiment sustained such losses in m battle, and fought so bravely, that it was ever after known as the 02 " Bloody First." P Major Joseph Norvell, who established the "Nashville Whig" in g* 1812, in connection with his brother, Moses Norvell, and who was for ^ several years City Treasurer, and P. G.

The March rise was two feet ^ higher than the freshet of 1842, and almost as high as that of 182G. p The December freshet was twenty inches higher than in 1826. 2 In May, 1847, about twenty tenements were destroyed by fire on ^ the corner of Spring and Market streets and vicinity. ^ The corner-stone of Odd Fellows' Hall was laid with imposing cer- ^^ emonies, on the 1st of June, 1847. o is' On the 12th of October, 1847, a powder magazine, situated west of Capitol Hill, was struck by lightning and exploded, by which four persons were killed and about twenty wounded.

Post-Office. — We do not know who was the first postmaster at this place ; but we do know that Robert B. Currey, Esq., was appointed by President Jefierson in 1801, and that he served through Mr. Jefferson's administration of eight years. He was retained by President Madison as postmaster here through his two terms of the Presidency, and also by President Monroe for eight years more ; making in all twenty-four consecutive years — a compliment rarely bestowed in an office of such labor and responsibility, and it is gratifying to know that it was worthily bestowed. In 1825, upon the incoming of J. Q. Adams as President, John P. Erwin, Esq., was appointed, who served during that administration, and soon after the inauguration of Gen- eral Jackson, as President in 1829, General Robert Armstrong was appointed, who retained the office for sixteen years. In 1845 Colonel L. P. Cheatham was appointed by President Polk; and in 1849 President Taylor appointed Dr. John Shelby, and in 1852 President Pierce appointed General Samuel R. Anderson as postmaster, who was retained by President Buchanan. President Lincoln appointed W. D. McNish, who held the position until the evacuation of the city by the rebel army in February, 1862. Since the occupation of the city by the Fedei'al authorities — with the exception of a few months, by John Lellyett, Esq. — the office has been in charge of our present efficient postmaster, A. V. S. Lindsley. The Historical Society of Tennessee was established May 1st, 1849, and is now a regular depository of public documents, by an act of Con- gress. By the action of our General Assembly, the room in the Cap- itol at present occupied by the Supreme Court, is to be appropriated to the use of the Society, after being vacated by the Court, which will be done when the Custom-house is erected. The effects of the Soci- ety, in case of its dissolution, go to the State of Tennessee. The corner-stone of the present First Presbyterian Church was laid April 28th, 1849. Hon. James K. Polk, the tenth President of the LTnited States, died at his residence, in this city, on the 15th of June, 1849, and was BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 47 placed in the vault at tlic cemetery, with Masonic ceremonies. The Ci cholera prevailed here at that time; hut, nevertheless, a very large ^ assemhlage attended to pay a tribute of respect to their deceased fcl- H low-citizen. Subsequently, in November (we believe), his remains ^ were interred on his own grounds, at Polk Place, in front of his ^ mansion. Vine street, with solemn and impressive ceremonies. Vari- ^ ous meetings and testimonies of respect were held and adopted. S Nashville, at present, covers an area of about sis square miles, And now, having reached the notch of " threescore and ten," in ^ our brief and imperfect notes, we call a halt for the present, with the remark, that our sole object has been to gather up a few of the "odds and ends" of local history, in the briefest possible manner, for the purpose of saving them from forgetfulness; and it is hoped that 2^ abler and more competent hands will "write up " the history of our ^ beautiful City op Rocks. Jr" o and is about three miles long by two wide. The city and suburbs p o (including Edgefield) contained, before the war, about 37,000 inhabitants. It now contains, including Grovernment employes (not g soldiers), toward 75,000 inhabitants. Before the war there was, ^ perhaps, no city in the Union, of the size and importance of Nash- p villa, about which so little was known abroad. The fact of its exist- p^ ence, and that it was the capital of Tennessee, was about all the ^ information that a stranger, outside of the State, or beyond contiguous ^ portions of border States, possessed in relation to it. Millions of oj dollars would be invested in lots and other property here if the city (^ was better known. If it would prosper to the extent that it should, p its eligible location, its facilities, as a great point for trade, for manu- O factures, for education, for health, etc., must become familiar to people S^ at a distance. Situated in the interior valley of the continent, the ^ geographical and climatical position of Nashville furnish ample y. security against various forms of disease, which are common both to © more northern and southern latitudes; while the distance at which it g; stands from the sea-coast, renders it comparatively safe from the rav- ages of those fearful epidemics which are frequently the scourge of ^ sea-board towns and lower countries. The bills of mortality, as shown |;^ by the report of the City Sexton, prove that, in a sanitary point of *^ view, Nashville is, indeed, highly favored. Compared with the vital ^ statistics of other cities, those of Nashville show that none of whom o . ... o we have any record, will compare with it in health. ft- 48 singleton's nashville The fact was first discovered by Forster, the Naturalist, that the interior valley of this continent was very singularly free from the extremes of temperature that prevail along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is this, doubtless, that exempts us from the yellow fever, which has repeatedly prevailed in New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, etc. We are also far below the line which marks the limit of the typhus fever zone. Cases of consumption, or any form of tubercular disease, are very rare here, while the diseases of children are as unfrequent and not more fatal, in proportion, than those of adults. In view of the general health of the city the conclusion is irresistible, that the climatical conditions that produce disastrous sickness in vari- ous forms elsewhere are not present in this latitude. Previous to the breaking out of the war, Nashville enjoyed an unexampled prosperity, and the merchants and business men of the city were building up an immense trade, and Nashville had already become one of the first, if not the first market in the interior of the South. The importance of the trade enjoyed by Nashville merchants, may be learned from the following facts, stated in the City Directory of 18G0-61: WHOLESALE DRY GOODS. The wholesale dry goods trade of Nashville is one of its most important interests, and is in the hands of men who, in point of busi- ness capacity, are not surpassed by any to be found elsewhere. The manner in which Nashville stood the financial shock of 1857, is sufficient to show what sort of material our commercial men are made of. There was not a single failure or suspension, and it was stated at the time that no business men of any place stood higher at the East than the wholesale merchants of Nashville. As a class, they are men of clear heads, good judgment, comprehensive ideas, shrewd- ness and fine talents, fully conversant with their business. Adopt- ing the language of one of our daily papers: "In commending them to those who may come among us for the purposes of trade, we can proudly point to their proverbial fairness and integrity in all their dealings, and to their high credit. An elevated aim prevails among them, as a class, dishonesty finds no favor, and the tricks of trade are scouted from their midst. Their customers know what they are buy- ing, and that the representations of the seller can be relied upon. Long experience in the business, and an intimate knowledge of the wants of the trade, enable them to buy and sell to the best advantage to their customers." The skill and judgment of Nashville buyers are BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 49 evident, when it is recollected that, with the carriage added, they sell O goods as cheap as they can he hought in the New York market. Any ^ country merchant may get his orders for a stock of goods filled here td at the figures he would have to pay at the East, with the cost of ^ transportation added. Some of our houses, in fact, import goods from ^ the same places that Eastern importers purchase from, and as the ^ duties and custom-house charges here are no more than in New York, m it follows that goods may be purchased as cheap here as there, thus ^ making a ditFerence in favor of this point, of the amount it costs for ^ transportation from that city to this. Another item of some importance is the insurance which is saved, as well as the expense and loss of time which attends a trip to the North. ^ Neither is there the vexatious delays which goods are often subjected ^ to in the transit from Eastern cities to the towns of Tennessee, South- ^ ern Kentucky, North Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, etc. a and printing establishments, carriage builders, marble and lumber yards, saddlers, tailors, etc., are all well prepared to fill orders to any o And, then, again, "as the trade increases, and our city expands, new qj facilities are being constantly oifered, and the inducements become p stronger and stronger, from year to year. It may be said, without g* exaggeration, that every article may be found here to suit the diversi- g fied tastes and necessities of all the various sections which are geo- S graphically dependent upon us, and that here dealers will be found in p all departments prepared to sell upon as reasonable terms, and at as p^ low prices, as those of the Eastern cities. In every department of g trade and mechanics, dealers and manufacturers may be found in this 2 city, including dry goods of all descriptions, clothing, boots, shoes, w hats and trunks, china, glass, queens and Britannia wares, drugs and y medicines, hardware and cutlery, books and stationery, groceries, p liquors, manufactured tobacco and cigars, jewelry, etc. ; while our ^ agricultural implement manufactories, our founderies, bookbinderies -? ^ extent upon as acceptable terms as those of any city." O When the carriage fiicilities furnished by the railroads radiating from this point in every direction — the pvirchase of goods by our merchants from the manufacturers— the low rents here compared with New York (by which profits are regulated), the terms of sale offered, the saving of time and money involved in a northern trip, are taken into the account — the case is a plain one that it is far preferable for l-S the country merchant of this and adjoining States, to buy his stock o of goods in this market rather than to go further east. A retail mer- o 50 singleton's NASHVILLE chant in any of the localities above-named, can do better in this city, all things considered, than at any other point. If any doubt it, let them come and make the trial, and we vouch for it that their doubts will be speedily removed. The dry goods jobbing trade has grown rapidly in this city in the last few years. A glance through any one of the leading establish- ments will disclose the fact that the proprietors are prepared to offer the strongest inducements to buyers. The stocks, selected by as expert and experienced buyers as any in the Union, under the spur of an active competition, will be found superior in point of taste, com- prehensiveness, and general acceptability and adaptability to the wants of the country, to the stocks of any jobbing houses in the Eastern cities. A retail stock may be selected here with a fraction of the labor and expense which attend its selection in New York, Philadel- phia and Boston, and be found, when selected, better adapted to the wants of the buyers. The goods, indeed, are selected for the mer- chant, in a great measure, and he is thus enabled to act more deliber- ately, more self-possessed, and under circumstances more agreeable in every respect, than when thrown in the midst of the din and confu- sion of New York, obliged to pick up u little here and there, and often buying in opposition to his cooler judgment. That this matter is becoming plain and well understood by country merchants, is proved by the quantity of goods sold here now as com- pared with past years. In the year 1850, there were but three whole- sale dry goods houses in the city, doing a business of about 8125,000 each, in a year. Now there are twelve establishments of that descrip- tion, which are exclusively wholesale, some of whom do a business of half a million of dollars a year. The total amount of dry goods sold at wholesale, annually, in this market, is not short of two and a quar- ter millions of dollars. There are also three establishments which are exclusively devoted to wholesale variety goods; four exclusive wholesale boot and shoe houses, and nine others, in the same line, that do business both at wholesale and retail; and three dry goods houses that also keep boots and shoes, and hats and caps, and one exclusive hat, cap and bonnet house. Several wholesale houses also keep ready-made clothing. There is one exclusive wholesale clothing house, and some fifteen that both wholesale and retail. There are two wholesale queensware houses, and a number of others that sell both at wholesale and retail; one exclusive wholesale hardware house, and seven others that both BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 61 wholesale and retail ; two exclusive wholesale drug houses, and some C5 ten or twelve others that wholesale as well as retail. m WHOLESALE HARDWARE. The hardware trade of Nashville is established upon a basis of ^ the right kind, and there is, perhaps, as much permanent capital ^ employed as in any interest in our city, in proportion to the necessities ^ and demands of the trade. We have one house which is exclusively |^ a wholesale establishment, and there are seven others which are G devoted both to wholesaling and retailing. Of these houses (all of " which are managed by experienced business men), the greater part, © and perhaps all, are direct importers of all the foreign-made hard- pf ware they offer for sale; and here lies the greatest advantage which o I—' this department of trade in Nashville claims over that of many other places ; and it is for this reason, particularly^ the hardware and cutlery w dealers of our city are able to compete successfully with the same qj class of trade in any other city in the Union. p It must be remembered that Nashville is a port of entry, and there g* is a regular Collector of the Port stationed here, whose duty it is to ^ collect the duties on all foreign goods imported to this point — hence ^ the hardware merchant, or any other, desiring to import foreign goods p direct, has but to order them to this port from Europe or elsewhere, pi, and without further trouble on his part, they are delivered to him g under the supervision of the Collector here, upon his paying the ^ custom duties, in the same manner as they are paid in the seaports. m Hence, as many of the most important articles in this line of trade y are of foreign manufacture, such as table and pocket cutlery, guns, p chains, and a thousand other articles, it will be seen how important it O is to our hardware merchants at Nashville to be able to import their >? goods direct from the foreign manufacturers; thus saving the profit that would otherwise necessarily be paid to the importer at New York j. or elsewhere. This is a fact which we believe is not generally understood © by our merchants in this section of the country, who pass through g; Nashville, and make their purchases in Philadelphia or New York. Many persons, we are convinced, are incredulous on this point, and in h?" these times, when other cities south of us are encouraging the feeling \^ which is to some extent prevalent in parts of the South, viz.: that ^ merchants should buy at least all foreign goods nearer home, and thus CC keep at home the importer's profit on the same, Nashville desires to o put in her claims for consideration. The hardware merchants here, f+- O 52 singleton's nashville without desiring to encourage any sectional political feeling, desire it to be understood that they are direct importers^ and have been for years past — in confirmation of which any "doubting Thomas" is referred to our estimable fellow-citizen, Jesse Thomas, Esq., Collector of the Customs at this port. WHOLESALE DRUGS, ETC. There is a heavy capital invested in the wholesale drug trade of Nashville, and the inducements oifered here are hardly surpassed in the Union. An examination of the stocks and prices of our whole- sale druggists will satisfy country dealers, convenient to this market, that it is not necessary to go to the expense and loss of time required in visiting Eastern markets for the purpose of replenishing their stocks. The wholesale trade of the city may be summed up as follows: There are twenty wholesale grocery houses, and nearly as many that both wholesale and retail — some of these are also extensively engaged in the liquor trade. Three exclusive wine and liquor houses, and several that both wholesale and retail. We have two very exten- sive drug houses, and ten others that wholesale as well as retail. There are twelve exclusive dry goods houses; three of exclusive variety goods ; four exclusive boots and shoes, and some nine others that wholesale and retail, while three that are in the dry goods trade also keep large stocks of boots and shoes; others boots, shoes and hats, and several that combine with dry goods ready-made clothing; one exclusive hat, cap and bonnet house; one exclusive ready-made clothing house, and some fifteen others that both wholesale and retail ; one heavy hardware house, and nine others that do a jobbing as well as a retail business; four house-furnishing goods establishments that wholesale extensively, and also sell at retail, and five or six others that do a considerable jobbing business; two very extensive queens- ware and crockery houses, and two others that both wholesale and retail; two houses in the iron trade, and one that does quite a large business at wholesale as well as retail ; one heavy leather house ; two seed and agricultural implement houses, and two others doing a large business ; two houses that both wholesale and retail stocks for carriage and harness makers; and many other houses in various kinds of business that are in the wholesale as well as retail trade. WHOLESALE GROCERY TRADE. Probably in no department of business has the enterprise and "go- BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 53 aheaditiveness " of the Nashville merchants accomplished so much as o in the grocery business. Prior to the opening of the Nashville and 2 Chattanooga Railroad, and its connections, our city was the recipient td of the trade of Middle Tennessee, a little of Southern Kentucky, a, while the occasional visit of a straggling wagon from North Alabama, ^ kept the grocery merchant of that day from forgetting that there was such C^ a country as North Alabama. At that day (and it is quite recent) the business was a very insignificant one, pursued by a very few persons, ^ and giving employment to only small amount of capital. On the ^7 completion of the railroad, however, it was manifest that a new order ^ of things had been inaugurated — that the grocery business was hence- q forth to be the main department of trade here. Merchants from East £* Tennessee, from North Georgia and North Alabama, made their appearance on our streets in quest of groceries. Our merchants, animated by a desire to accommodate, and secure the increased trade offered them of those rich regions, met the increased demand with suitable supplies; invested additional capital, and by a liberal policy p convinced them that it was to their interest to buy here. Public attention began to be called to the increasing importance of the trade by the throng of drays passing daily to the depot, loaded with groceries. New houses were established, costly and capacious build- P ings were erected, in keeping with the increased demands of the busi- p^ ness. New sections of country, rich in resources, were made tributary ^ to Nashville, till, from an insignificant trade, employing hardly 5 SI 00,000 of capital in 1849-50, and done only by a few houses, we oa find, by careful investigation, and from reliable data, that there are t^ now about twenty wholesale grocery houses in the city, besides a much p larger number of those who both wholesale and retail, giving employ- 2 ment to a capital of not less than $4,000,000, and trading regularly ™ with Middle Tennessee, East Tennessee to the Virginia line, a consid- ^ erable portion of West Tennessee, almost all of Southern Kentucky, ^ with a heavy up-river trade in Eastern Kentucky, with North O Alabama, North Georgia and much of Middle Georgia. While in the liquor department of the grocery trade, our rectifiers sell their goods still farther south into Georgia and Alabama, and find an exten- ^ sive mart for " Newsom " and "Robertson County" (household word.s) in all parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. Nashville is certainly the cheapest grocery market in all the South- west. Her heavy capital enables her to offer inducements which are out of the reach of her less favored rivals, while the enterprise of her 93 54 singleton's NASHVILLE merchants is continually pushing forward, and extending the area of her grocery trade. Only two years ago the grocery merchants, during an unprecedented low stage of water in the Cumberland, brought their heavy groceries from New Orleans to Memphis by river, thence hy rail, and sold them again to merchants more than half way back to Memphis. In view of the energy and enterprise manifested by this class of our merchants, we confidently predict a continued increase of trade for them in the future, in keeping with that of the past. It is believed that the com- pletion of the Nashville and North-western Eailroad will add the trade of the richest portions of West Tennessee to our city. So mote it be. RETAIL TRADE OF THE CITY. It is not to be expected that a detailed statement can be made of the retail trade here, in its various departments. Such a paper, fully elaborated, would, by far, too greatly transcend the limits not already occupied in this work, delay its appearance, and demand a personal sacrifice of time and means which can not now be entertained. Our patrons and readers will be content, we are certain, with a general outline of this trade, furnishing an indication of its extent and importance. The retail dry goods trade of this city is immense. It not only supplies the city and county demand, but the inducements which it offers bring hither thousands upon thousands of dollars from all portions of Middle Tennessee, and from localities in other States, which are made tributary to this market, by means of convenient railroad communication. Every species of goods, plain and common, to the most superb and costly fabrics, are to be obtained here, at prices which vary but little from Eastern retail figures, and, we believe, every article known can here be found. The retail dry goods mer- chants of this city are, as a body, a very intelligent class of men, and constitute an element in our midst which adds much to the enterprise, prosperity and healthy growth of the city. They will not suifer, in comparison, in intelligence or business qualifications, with those of any other point. This trade is represented by about fifty houses. MANUFACTURES. Although there is no inconsiderable amount of capital ^employed in various kinds of manufiictures in this city, yet the initiative has hardly been taken in that extensive system which will ultimately be BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 55 carried on here. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are annually paid, C5 in this market, for articles manufactured out of the State, which ^ could be made here, and which will, we trust, at no distant day, be bd produced by Nashville mechanics, artisans and manufacturers. ^ From careful inquiry and comparison, it is plain that living |i^ expenses here, in the aggregate, are not greater than in other manu- ^ faeturing towns, and indeed below what they are in some that might ^ be named. The raw material for various kinds of manufactures are ^ bountiful in our midst, capital is abvindant, while fuel is as cheap as S it is in the majority of those towns from which we obtain many of "* the articles that enter largely into our commerce. In this connection, o it is proper to remark, that we need more small, comfortable houses, ^ for the accommodation of mechanics; while an improved system of o cultivation by the great majority of those who vend agricultural pro- Jj' ducts in this market, would render their farming operations tar more m profitable, even at lower prices. A question of political economy is CC here involved, the elimination of which mis-ht not be uninterestina;, P but such is not the object or intent of this article, and we leave it o* for those to follow out, whose tastes and inclinations may lead them ^ to do so. la It is an axiom, as true as trite, that no city has been or can be p permanently prosperous without manufactures. A prosperity based pu exclusively upon a commercial business, must necessarily be epheme- g ■ " o CfQ ral. A city which, for instance, depends upon any one or more of the great agricultural staples for support, business and growth, is liable to become paralyzed in her energies and interests, not only by failure in y the production of such staples, but from their diversion to other p points who.se eligibility gives them the advantage and preference as g markets. Such also are the fluctuations in the price of articles of -S° produce that no certainty of successful operations can be relied upon, ^ and where uncertain, feverish and exciting speculation underlies the ^^ business of any community or city, there is no guarantee of permanent o prosperity ; whereas, where manufacturing is carried on successfully, gi there is a steady, healthful and substantial growth. It is evident that our people are waking up to the importance of ts" this subject ; as an evidence of it, since this publication has been in ^ press, several manufacturing establishments have gone into operation, ^ and others are contemplated with every indication of success. ^ Of late, an impetus has been given to manufacturinix interests at o the South which never before has been felt. Mills and factories for f*" 56 singleton's nashville the manufacture of cotton, woolen and linen fabrics, have been and are being established at various points in several of the Southern States, and although the disturbing causes which gave rise to these enterprises are to be deplored, there is some satisfaction afforded in contemplating the fact that the controversy, which has been going on, has not been altogether profitless to this section of the country. A movement is now afoot to establish a cotton factory in this city. It would seem that there is no valid reason why such a mill can not be established and carried on here successfully, as both the raw materials and the market for manufactured goods are here, at our very door. The cotton supply is almost infinite, yet the demand for manufactured cotton fabrics is in the same ratio, and while the raw material would cost the manufocturer here less than it does his Eastern rival at his mill, the kind of labor employed costs no more here than it does in New England, for the operatives are principally females and children, who otherwise have no employment, and would be glad to get it at the prices which prevail in the factories of the East. It is to be hoped, the project spoken of will be carried out, and that not many months will elapse before the hum of many spindles and the noise of many shuttles may be heard in our midst. In connection with cotton manufactories, there is little doubt that others would be established for the manufacture of lubricating oil, and oil cake, from the seed, both of which, judiciously managed, could be made highly profitable. There are many other manufacturing enterprises which might be established immediately, requiring but little capital, that would, without doubt, prove highly remunerative. Why can not soaps, candles, blacking, etc., be made here as well as elsewhere '? AVe believe the day is not far distant when all these and many others may be found here, and we look confidently to that bright coming and swift-footed future when Nashville will stand before the country as the great manufacturing mart for the vast and rich territory which is legitimately tributary to her. Nashville continued to enjoy this prosperity up to the capture of Fort Donelson, by the National troops. The war had not been felt here up to that period. Since then the trade of the city has been com- paratively insignificant ; but, as the Union army advanced southward, trade has increased, and now a considerable amount of business is transacted by our merchants, but it is mainly in a retail way. The number of business houses has greatly increased, but the volume of BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 57 <^ business lias not. As facilities for communication with the country O are opened up, trade will continue to increase, and when the country has recovered from the effects of the war, Nashville will undoubtedly enjoy even a greater prosperity than that of former years. It is of the highest importance to evei-y community to have a boun- g tiful supply of good and wholesome water — that beverage so freely \^ bestowed by God himself to "nourish and invigorate his creatures." THE WATER-WORKS. tr" Villages and hamlets are located on account of the supply of water, ^ and the better supplied they are with this element, the sooner they © CO o o CO Ui trt- P O o CD become towns and cities. Nashville was located on its present rocky site solely on account of water privileges. The founders of the city could have made a town where South Nashville now is, much easier and with less expense, with smoother streets and more level avenues, had it not been for Judge McNairy's spring on the north, Wilson's spring in Barrow's Grove, and the then fine spring at the foot of Spring street on the bank of the river. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been expended on these rocky and uneven streets, which might have been avoided, had it not been for these water fiicil- ities. In fact, in the early days of the city, it was an exceedingly j^ doubtful problem whether or not a city could be made on the spot ^ designated to commemorate the name and fame of the brave General ^ Nash. It was for years " nip and tuck " between Palmyra, Haysboro' ^ and Nashville, as to which should take precedence in the race for " city " honors. Finally, the latter prevailed, and the two former have been comparatively forgotten. As the town increased, the pub- lic interests required water in a more convenient manner than by sending to either of the springs for it. Temporary and simple Water- works were resorted to, but soon abandoned, as not being adequate to o supply the public demand. In the course of time, the present site ^ of the Water-works was chosen, and the city commenced in earnest to ® erect a reservoir, secure a steam engine, etc. The undertaking was a fr" magnificent project, worthy of the liberal hearts of those who urged o its erection, and of those into whose hands the destinies of the city were for the time being intrusted. The reservoir was built, if we are not mistaken, by William Shields, under the direction and manage- ment of A. Stein, engineer. , The Water-works were completed in the autumn of 1833, and in ^ anticipation of the event, John 31. Bass, then an Alderman, intro- 09 w o Hi 01 is' o c*- 58 singleton's nashville •+i duced the following jireamble and resolution, wliich were adopted by Q the Mayor and Aldermen, to-wit: 02 " Whereas, The introduction of water into the town is an object of great ^ interest and importance to all its citizens, and should be accomi^anied with P some public parade; therefore, fXi " Resolved, That the Watering Committee be authorized and requested to ^ invite the citizens and strangers now in town, to be present at the Water- O works at such time as the engineer may notify said committee of his readi- 02 ness to put said works in operation, and that said committee procure the use of the cannon, and take such other steps as to them may seem fit and suitable O to so great an occasion." <^ In accordance with the above resolution, the inauguration of the fl Water-works took place on the last day of September or first day of •ri October, 1833, and great was the rejoicing of the people. The can- .3 non was fired, music obtained, and a procession formed, composed of ^ hundreds of citizens, a large number of ladies, members of the Legis- "g lature then about to assemble, strangers, etc. It was a jubilee. And 2J from that day to this, the Water-works have not ceased to do good 02 service, and were then, as now, the most important public improve- ^ ment in the city. ^ The cost of the Water-works was reported to be, for ground, super- O intendenee, engine, etc., about .^55,000. In the City Council, John M. Hill was chairman of what was then styled the " Watering Com- Sg mittee," and he devoted much of his time and energy to the impor- ^ tant trust. _u The first public debt incurred by the city was for the Water-works. ^ The laying down of the pipe was an expensive operation — especially f^ in such a rocky city — averaging, perhaps, about $4 per foot. The "^ reservoir is situated, according to Mr. Stein's report, 5,800 feet from Q the Public Square. As to the revenue derived from the Water-works, it has been all the time below the cost of furnishing a supply. If pipes were laid d throughout the whole city, the water tax would be sufiicient to carry ^ on the works ; but as it is, no revenue can be derived from this source. f^ The water was furnished to so few the first year or two, that the reve- ls) nue derived was only about $1,500 per annum. Now the water tax ^ amounts to about $25,000 per annum. It is almost an impossibility to estimate the amount of money W expended on the Water-works, owing to the manner in which they ^ were conducted, the looseness displayed in preserving the reports BUSINESS DI RECTORY. 59 made to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, etc. We may remark, C2 however, that they have cost, first and last, over half a million of ^ dollars. l3 HISTORY OF THE NASHVILLE PRESS. ^ We can not, in the brief space here permitted us, give a history of ^ the many newspapers that have flourished and faded in Nashville, from ^ the birth of "The Tennessee Gazette," in 1707, down to the present ^ time; nor can we even refer to all the innumerable changes to which bd the newspaper press here has been subject. We propose merely to p^ glance at some of the changes in early times — such as are not within the recollection of the young, and may have passed from the memory o of the old. ^ en O A quarter of a century ago, the only daily paper in the city, after a profitless existence of three years, was discontinued, not from a want ^ of enterprise on the part of the publishers, but from a wantof appre- m ciation and pay on the part of the public. At the present time we ^ have four dailies, the smallest of which contains more matter than p" the largest of the weeklies of thirty years ago. g« The first newspaper published in Nashville, of which we have any ^ record, was '-The Tennessee Gazette and ]Mero District Advertiser,"' ^ the publication of which was commenced in 1797, by a printer from p Kentuck}^, named Ilenkle. The following year he sold the paper to p^ Benjamin J. Bradford, who changed the name to " The Clarion," and m soon after sold it to his cousin, Thomas G. Bradford. The Historical ^ Society of Tennessee has a copy, No. 81, Vol. 2, bearing date Novem- m her 2d, 1801, of "The Clarion" — by no means in a good state of pres- y ervation, having suftered much from the wear and tear of its three- p score years. It is a folio sheet, fourteen by ten inches, has four CD columns to the page, and is printed on pica type. " The Clarion " was ^ afterward enlarged, and called " The Clarion and Tennessee Gazette." i^ The only copy in existence, so far as we know, showing the change in size and name, is No. 295, of Vol. 5, which bears date July 20th, 1813 — © Thomas G. Bradford, printer. In 1807, as is shown by " The Impar- g; tial Beview," of December 24:th, of that year, there was a paper pub- lished here called "The Nashville Gazette," afterward called "The ty Tennessee Gazette," and merged into "The Clarion," from which the ^ latter derived the addition to its name. The number of "The Clarion *^ and Tcunessee Gazette," for September, 1820 — No. 1, Vol. 1 — new ^ series — shows a change in the proprietorship, being then published o by AVilkins & 3IcKeen. The number for March 21st, 1821, bears the f+- 60 singleton's NASHVILLE ^ name of " The Nashville Clarion " — John H. Wilkins, publisher. § Its name was probably changed a few weeks previous to that date. g The latest number of this paper, in the possession of the Historical .S Society, is that of July 9th, 1822, being No. 43, of Vol. 15, edited and ^ published by the former proprietor, Thomas Gr. Bradford, and bearing ^ its original name, " The Clarion." The subscription price of this ^ paper varied, during its existence, from $2 to $3 per annum, in advance, O and from $3 to $4 in three or six months. Some time prior to 182G, M "The Clarion" was purchased by a Mr. Darby, a lawyer, who associ- . ated with him Mr. Van Pelt, subsequently the editor and proprietor of " The Memphis Appeal." The establishment was afterward pur- ^ chased by Abram P. Maury and Carey A. Harris, who discontinued § "The Clarion," and started "The Nashville Republican." •g In 1805 Thomas Eastin began the publication of " The Impartial ,fl Review and Cumberland Repository," the numbers, bound, from ^ February 18th, 1806 (No. 8, Vol. 1), to December 8th, 1808 (No. 157, Vol. 3), are in possession of the Historical Society. In 1812 "The Nashville Whio'"_the first of that name— was -♦J M established by Moses and Joseph Noi'vell, who continued its publica- ,Xj tion up to July 16th, 1816. It was a sheet of 12 by 18 inches, with o four columns to the page. The number for August 27th, of that year, contains the name of neither printer nor publisher, nor of the editor. That for September 3d, same year, bears the names of Norvell & <3 McLean, publishers. Previous to the 25th of August, 1817, Norvell ^ sold his interest in the concern to George Tunstall. At that date ^ (No. 1, Vol. 6), the paper was called " The Nashville Whig and Ten- ^ nessee Advertiser," and published by C. D. McLean and George ^ Tunstall. In August, 1819, McLean sold his interest to Joseph Nor- "^ veil, and Tunstall & Norvell continued the publication until the 12tli Q of March, 1821, when the former retired, leaving the paper in the hands of the latter, who published it until January, 1826, when he p, sold it, but to whom is not stated. On the 19th of January, 1824, cS John P. Erwin became the editor, a position he held until the 1st of January, 1826, at which time he was appointed postmaster. " The ^ Whig" and "The National Banner" were consolidated May 3d, pq 1826, the paper taking the name of " The National Banner and Nash- ^ ville Whig." The first number of the second "Nashville Gazette" was issued ■*j < W May 26th, 1819 — George Wilson, editor and publisher. It was issued 02 twice a week, at $5 a year, and " printed," as the publisher said, " on BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 61 ' fine superroyal paper," with five columns to the page. Its publica- O tion Wcxs continued by George Wilson, up to lS24:-5, when he prob- ^ ably sold it to the proprietors of "The Nashville Republican," as M that paper took the name of " The Nashville Republican and Ten- gp nessee Gazette" about that time. The latest copy of " The Nashville ^ Gazette," in possession of the Historical Society, is No. 1, of Vol. 3, ^ dated July 7th, 1821. § " The National Banner" was established in 1822, by John S. Simp- ^ son and "William G. Hunt, who published it until May, 182G, when E they united it with " The Nashville Whig," called it " The National "" Banner and Nashville Whig," and began the publication of a semi, q weekly paper, with W. G. Hunt as editor. In May, 1830, the paper ^ was purchased by W. Hassell Hunt, Peter Tardifi" and Wm. G. Hunt % the latter continuing its editorial management. They published a ^ tri-weekly, and on the 23d of November, 1831, began the publication m of a daily at $8 per annum, tri-weekly $5, weekly $3. The paper q- was then called "The National Banner and Nashville Advertiser." p" The firm of Hunt, Tardiif & Co. was dissolved on the 2d of May, g« 1833 ; Tardiff having sold out to W. Hassell Hunt. On the 7th of !=( September of that year, S. H. Laughlin became one of the editors, a ^ position he held until the 22d of September, 1834, when he retired, p and was succeeded by Geo. C Childress. On the 0th of November, S, 1835, Geo. C Childress retired from the editorial chair, and was sue- ^ ceeded by Allen A. Hall. W. Hassell Hunt and Peter Tardiff dis- (D* solved their copartnership on the 31st of November, 1830, the former ^ becoming the sole proprietor of the concern. Mr. Hall continued to u edit the paper, and on the 17th of July, 1837, became its purchaser, ^ and united it with " The Commercial Transcript," edited by C. C. Nor- o' veil, and published by \^ . F. Bang, now one of the publishers and ™ proprietors of "The Republican Banner." C. C. Norvell became rfi» the associate editor. On the 22d of August, 1837, "The National 52! o Banner and Nashville Whig" and "The Nashville Republican and State Gazette " were consolidated, and issued daily, under the name of cf- " The Republican Banner," by the editors and proprietors of the former papers, Allen A. Hall and S. Nye, with C. C. Norvell, asso- ^ ciate editor. In January, 1838, the latter withdrew and started \-i another "Nashville Whig." * sold the list to Mr. Hall, who, having been called to Washington City S^ to assume the editorial control of " The Republic," the organ of Mr. ^ Fillmore's administration, and failing to agree with Mr. McKennie upon terms, sold the subscription list of " The Whig" to the proprie- © tors of " The Republican Banner." Mr. McKennie then started g;; " The Nashville True Whig," securing the services of E. P. McGinty, of '' The Clarksville Chronicle," and A. M. Roseborough, for several tr" years with "The Columbia Observer," as editors. Mr. McGinty f^ became also a partner in the establishment, Mr. Roseborough being the ^ principal political editor. On the 1st of January, 1851, E. P. CO McGinty sold his interest of one-half in the establishment to George o B. Brown, but continued to edit the paper. Mr. Roseborough with- j-^ 64 singleton's nashville drew at that date. In 1845, Anson Nelson, who had been foreman of this establishment since 1840, became one of the proprietors, and S the style of the firm was ehanoed to B. R. McKennie & Co. In 1847 .w Mr. Nelson withdrew from the concern, establishing a new office and g publishing "The Christian Record." H. K. Walker became con- > nected editorially with the paper in 1850. E. P.

He engaged, soon after its establishment, the m services of Dr. W. P. Ptowles as editor. He left the paper at the ?a close of the year, and died a few years thereafter. Soon after estab- p^ lishing the paper, Mr. Thompson took in, as a partner, Wm. M. Hut- jj^ ton. Mr. Thompson soon retired, and Colonel Thos. Boyers sue- 2 ceeded him. As before noticed, Mr. Eastman took Mr. Hutton's ai place in 1850, and continued in the establishment until the union of y the two papers in 1853. In September, 1852, Colonel Gr. C. Torbett, js who was well known as a legislator and man of talents throughout the ^ State, purchased half " The American " office, and became one of its ^ editors. ^ " The Nashville Union and American " was established May 15th, ^ 1853, by the union of the two Democratic papers of Nashville, the o proprietors being John L. Marling, E. Gr. Eastman, G. C. Torbett and ^ M. C. C. Church. About a year thereafter, Mr. Marling, having been appointed Minister to Guatamaula by President Pierce, disposed of his t^ •-S his fellow-citizens. Mr. Church sold his interest to F. C. Dunninc,- ct> interest in the establishment to the remaining partners. Some two years after his appointment, being prostrated with the consumption, he returned home, and died shortly after, regretted and mourned by ton, Esq., of Maury county, early in 1856. On the 22d of May, 66 singleton's nashville 4J 1858, G. C. Torbett sold liis interest in the paper to J. 0. Griffith, cj of Columbia, and G. G. Poindexter purchased of F. C.

John Miller McKee became con- nected with the paper, as city and commercial editor, June 15th, 1858. ^^ In November, 1859, this establishment lost two of its editors and pro- © prietors by death. That of G. G. Poindexter occurred on the 18th of that month, and Major Eastman's followed on the 23d. On the ^ 1st of January, 1860, John C. Burch, Esq., became associated in the ^ proprietorship and editorial conduct of "The Iinion and American," eg and the firm took the style of J. 0. Griffith & Co. Subsequently, 5 Leon Trousdale and Thos. S. Harr purchased the interest of Mrs. E. o G. Eastman in " The Union and American," and Mr. Trousdale ■ became one of the editors. The paper was suspended on the evacua- W. U ■*-» tion of Nashville by the rebels. « " The Nashville Gazette " was established in 1844, by E. R. Glas- ^ cock and James Thompson.

Buckley published a daily paper called "The g Evening Reporter," but it did not exist very long. It was a neutral paper. A paper called "The Nashville Daily Times," was commenced in 1849, by Laudis, Williams & Church. But few numbers were issued. The "Daily Evening Bulletin," by T. M. Hughes & Co., existed a few weeks, in 1859. In January, 1835, a paper was started here called " The Commer- ^ cial Transcript." It was printed at the office of "The National Banner and Nashville Whig," and was continued until the end of the second volume, when it was merged into the last named paper.

The only copy known to be ^ in existence is to be found in the library of the Historical Society, and is imperfect. It was commenced in July, 1809, and the last number ^ in the volume is for December of that year.

Previous to the ^ issuance of this paper, a violent controversy had arisen in Princeton, 2 in relation to the removal of Princeton College to Lebanon, Tennes- pE^ see.

TENNESSEE STATE CAPITOL. Our Directory would be incomplete, if there was not some mention made of the above building and of its contents. It is to a stranger coming in our midst the chiefest and first object of attraction, at least in an architectural point of view. Connoisseurs, practical architects and traveling gentlemen of intelligence, who have visited our city since its erection, pronounce it the most completely finished edifice within their knowledge. We are enabled to give a pretty well executed wood- cut view of the building, which, though the best representation of it which has yet been produced, still gives but a fjiint idea of its mag- nitude, elegance and exquisite symmetry of proportion. It is an honor alike to the genius of the distinguished architect, Mr. Strick- land, who is buried within its walls, and to the legislative bodies which have successively voted the appropriations necessary for its erection and completion. Like all similar public improvements, it has had from the first, among the ignorant and narrow-minded, its bitter enemies. Some years ago, when a proposition was made in the Legislature to make a further appropriation of 8200,000 for the prosecution of the work, one gentleman — a " member" from the fastnesses of the far inter iur — rose in his place, and offered a bill in lieu, reducing the amount to O O o o »— ' •— ' CD c-f- P3 I-" O ts CO ax P o ?L I—' o >^ 00 O £2! o o Ul e-f- CD CD 86 singleton's nashville +J $10,000, alleging that the sum named was amply sufficient to complete Gj the building, whitewash it thoroughly, and put a good, substantial g fence around it! Such was the kind of opposition against which the .S more enlightened members of our General Assembly had to contend. ^ [t may very well be doubted whether the noble edifice which now r^ so proudly crowns the loftiest eminence in our city, would ever have '^ been built, if the apparently extravagant style and cost of erection up g to the present time, had at first been known. Yet, as compared with ^ the cost of other State Capitols, the amount is not great. The entire . cost of the Ohio State-house will probably be between $2,000,000 ® and $3,000,000. It is said that something like $1,000,000 has *-^ already been expended upon the South Carolina State-house, which is, rt as yet, but about half built. When one story had been completed and •3 arched over, we understand that it began to show alarming signs of •S weakness, the arches opening in some places to a width of several inches — the result of unskillful work about the foundations. The % entire walls were taken down and rebuilt by and under the super- 5»< intendence of more skillful architects. The Custom-house at New 5Q York cost about $900,000; the New York Merchants' Exchange, ^ $1,200,000, and the Girard College, at Philadelphia, something near p $3,000,000 altogether. The elevation of this last building was Pn originally designed by Mr. Strickland. ,jj Our State has been peculiarly fortunate in the construction of its Q Capitol. In the first place, the funds have been honestly expended ; i> the Commissioners were honest, intelligent and liberal men in their ^ views, and have never received or desired one cent for their services ^ during the whole period of the erection of the building, fifteen years ; ^ though, at times, their proceedings as to matters of taste have been ei severely criticised on all hands, and the successive Legislatures have, ^ on several occasions, treated them very cavalierly in the examination ■*j of their accounts, though they have invariably found every thing cor- Q< rect to the letter, as far as their proceedings were concerned. Previ- ew - - - ously to the year 1843, the seat of government of the State had not « been finally settled upon. It had been located at various times at S Knoxville, Kingston, Murfrcesboro' and Nashville. The Davidson fsH county Court-house had been used previously for the meetings of the ^ Legislature; but the building becoming too small for the increasing numbers of the body, the project of building a State Capitol was W spoken of, but the permanent location of the seat of State govern- 02 ment had first to be determined on. Its location at Nashville was not BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 87 by any means a fixed ftict, though the sessions of the Legislature had O been held there for some years ; that is for the years 1812-13-15, j^ and from 1820 to that time. Almost every town in the State, having t^ any pretensions at all to eligibility or convenience of position, had ^ their advocates. The following places were successively voted for : ^ Woodbury, McMinnville, Franklin, Murfreesboro', Kingston, Leba- 3 non, Columbia, Sparta, Grallatin, Clarksville, Shelbyville, Harrison, S Chattanooga, Cleveland, Athens, Knoxville, and, finally, Nashville. td The location had once been fixed at Kingston ; but, on a reconsid- S eration of the vote, Nashville was triumphant, though this result " must be mainly attributable to the liberality of our city, having pur- o chased the present Capitol, then Campbell's Hill, from the Hon. G. ^ W. Campbell, for $30,000, and presenting it to the State as a free o gift. This act was passed October 7th, 1843. The project of build- ca ing a Capitol was then urged, and twenty-four days after the passage so of the act just mentioned, an act was passed (January 30th, 1844} ^ making the first appropriation to the capitol — $10,000. Commissioners p were appointed — Wm. Carroll, (Gov.) Wm. Nichol, John M. Bass, g* Samuel D. Morgan, James Erwin and Morgan W. Brown. To whom ^ were added, May 14th, 1844, James Woods, Joseph T. Elliston and ^ Allen A. Hall ; John M. Bass, Chairman, and March 31st, 1848, p appointed President, which position he held till March 31st, 1854, p^ when Samuel D. Morgan was appointed, and still holds it. April ^ 20ih, 1854, Messrs. John Campbell, John S. Young and Jacob ^ McGavock were appointed Commissioners by Governor Johnson, m O By act of February 28th, 1854, Messrs. R. J. Meigs and James P. y Clark wei*e appointed Commissioners. Mr. John D. Winston ap- p pointed Commissioner by the Governor. The following Governors of <^ the State have, ex-ofiicio,held the office of Commissioners : Wm. Carroll, i" James K. Polk, James C. Jones, Aaron V. Brown, Neil S. Brown, Wm. Trousdale, Wm. B. Campbell, Andrew Johnson, and our present ^ Governor, Isham G. Harris. Messrs. Nichol, Erwin, Elliston, Bass, o have resigned. Messrs. Brown, Woods and Young died. Of the g; Governors, Messrs. Carroll, Polk, Jones and A. V. Brown have died. _^ Upon the first appointment of the Commissioners, they were extremely tr" fortunate in securing the services of so distinguished an architect as 2 Mr. Wm. Strickland, of Philadelphia, than whom no man of his pro- '^^ fession in the country had a wider or more merited fame. CQ The ground was begun to be cleared off of the site about the 1st of 3 January, 1845, foundations dug, and nearly finished by the 4th of e^ 88 singleton's NASHVILLE +3 o m • iH > P! >-( -4-3 o July, on which clay the corner-stone was laid in the south-east corner of the building, with imposing ceremonies, just fourteen years and seven months ago. An eloquent oration was delivered on the occa- sion, by the Hon. J]dwin Ewing. The building was carried on regu- larly and steadily, without error or interruption, till the time of Mr. Strickland's death, April 7th, 1854. His funeral ceremonies were conducted in the Representative Hall, and he was entombed in a recess in the wall of the north basement portico, after having lived to see the principal part of the work finished. There are but few instances in which so noble a work has served as the tomb and monument of its designer. Sir Christopher Wren, architect of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and the architect of the Cologne Cathedral, are the noted examples of the sort. After the death of Mr. Strickland, the work was for several years carried on by his son, Mr. F. W. Strickland. The last stone of the tower was laid July 21st, 1855, and the last stone of the lower terrace, March 19th, 1859, which completed the stone work. The building was first occupied by the Legislature October 3d, 1853.

A concise statement of the site, plan and structure of the building is indispensable to the formation, by distant readers, of a correct idea of its appearance, though a verbal description, even with the help of the picture, must, of course, be very imperfect. The State-house is a parallelogram, 112 by 239 feet, with an elevation 64 feet 8 inches above an elevated terrace walk which surrounds it, or 74 feet 8 inches above the ground. Rising through the center of the roof is the tower, BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 89 wliicli is 36 feet square, and 80 feet high. The main idea of the ele- o vation of the building is a Greek Ionic temple, erected upon a rustic 2 basement, which, in its turn, rests (in appearance) upon a terraced bd pavement. The building has four fronts — on every side — north, q» south, east and west, each side graced with a noble portico. The end porticoes — north and south — are each composed of 8 magnificent Ionic ^ columns. The side porticoes — east and west — are composed each of -^ 6 columns. These columns, 28 in all, are each 4 feet in diameter, by S 33 feet high, and rest upon the entablature of the basement. This Er* entablature is supported by a rusticated pier rising through the base- Iri ment story, under each column of the portico above. The end W porticoes are capped by an entablature, which is continued around the o building. Above this entablature is a heavy pediment. The side eg porticoes are capped by the entablature and double blocking courses. The building inside is divided into three stories — the crypt, or cellar; the basement, or first floor; and the main, or second floor. The crypt is used for the State Arsenal, and for furnaces and the like. The basement has a passage or hall through the center of the building 204 feet long by 24 feet wide, crossed transversely by three halls, the B main one 100 feet long by 30 feet 3 inches; hight of this floor, 16 g P o >—• o 00 trt- P O feet 4 inches. This floor is divided in Supreme and Federal Court rooms, each 35 feet by 52 feet 8 inches, and offices for the Governor, p^ the Comptroller, the Treasurer, the Secretary of State, Register of ^ Lands, Superintendent of Weights and Measures, and Keeper of 2 Public Arms, and Clerks of the Supreme and Federal Courts (each of m which is 16 by 34 feet), and by the Archive-room, which is 34 feet m square. This room is fitted up in a handsome manner, with book and p paper cases made of white walnut, and the room otherwise handsomely o furnished. The Court-rooms are also well furnished — the Supreme i° Court-room in a very excellent manner. The main floor is reached by ^ a handsome flight of 24 steps, 11 feet wide, at the west end of the basement transverse hall. The balusters, or hand railinc; of this stair- ^ way, are of East Tennessee marble, a most beautiful colored mottled marble, very hard, and taking a high polish. The transverse hall of this upper is the same as that of the lower floor in dimensions. The longitudinal hall of this floor is 128 feet 2 inches long, by 24 feet 2 •-4 O is' inches wide, the side passages as below. The hight of these halls, * 16 feet 8 inches by 16 feet 8 inches. Above these rooms, on each «^ side, are the public galleries. The front of each of these galleries is o graced by eight coupled columns, 21 feet 11 inches high, and 2 feet K2 10 inches in diameter, of the Composite order, and fluted. The shaft of each column is of one block of stone, and capped by exceedingly ® graceful and elaborate capitals, the device of the architect. This room tff is well furnished, and windows curtained. The Speaker's stand and H screen wall is composed of red, white and black Tennessee marble. .^ The chandelier is from the establishment of Cornelius & Baker, of f3 Philadelphia, and is one of the largest, most elaborate, graceful and O costly chandeliers in the Union, and cost $1,500. The chief points 4J in the design are representations of the natural, animal and vec,etable g productions of the State, such as cotton, corn and tobacco. There are ^ also six buffaloes, extremely well executed, and a number of Indian rt warriors, each nearly two feet high, and of most excellent proportions. "t^ The burners are 48 in number. O The Senate Chamber, 34 by 70 feet, is also well fitted up, and is surrounded on three sides, north, west and south, by a gallery for the g public, 10 feet 9 inches wide, supported by 12 smooth Ionic columns ^ of red Tennessee marble columns, each 10 feet 3 inches high, and 3 ^ feet 5^ inches in circumference, with black marble bases, and archi- ® trave of red and white marble. This room has also a chandelier, ^ similar in design to that of the Representative Hall, though smaller, '^ and of probably better proportions. Q There are 34 chandeliers, 11 brackets, 12 pendants, and 8 gasela- +j bras in the whole building, with 420 burners, with 1 chandelier of 40 g. burners, 3 of 30 burners, 1 of 18, 1 of 15, 2 of 12, 6 of 8, 2 of 6, 18 ^ of 4, etc. All of these elegant gas fixtures were made by Messrs. ^ Cornelius & Baker, of Philadelphia. ^ Above the center of the building, and through the roof, rises the pq tower, supported by four massive piers rising from the ground, 10 by P* 12 feet. The design of this structure (the tower), for it is a noble work in itself, is a modified and improved reproduction of the M " Choragic Monument of Lysicrates," or, as it is sometimes called, the QQ "Lantern of Demosthenes," erected in Athens, about 325 B. C, and BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 91 still standing. The tower is comj^osed of a square rustic base, 36 feet ^ square and 42 feet liigli, witli a window in each front. Above this 2 the lantern, or round part of the tower, rises, 26 feet 8 inches in diam- ^j eter. by 37 feet high. It consists of a circular cell, with 8 most beau- n^ tiful three-quarter fluted Corinthian columns, attached around its outer j, circumference, with alternate blank, and pierced windows between C^ each two columns, in each of the two stories of the cell. The col- ^ umns have each a very elaborate and beautifully wrought capital of ^ the purest Corinthian style, and above all, a heavy entablature. The ^ column shafts are 2 feet 6 inches in diameter, by 27 feet 8 inches high, " and capital 4 feet high. The roof and iron finial ornament are, to- g^ gether, 34 feet high above the last stone of the tower, making the 2^ whole hight of the edifice above the ground 206 feet 7 inches, or over ^ 400 feet above low water in the Cumberland river, near by. The fol- t^ .... ^ lowing table exhibits some of the principal dimensions of the building ^ at a ";lance : FEET.

The roof of the building is constructed of rafters, composed of Cumberland river wrought-iron ties and braces, trussed in sections and joined together by cast-iron plates and knees, by wrought-iron purlins — the o greatest span of these wrought-iron rafters is over the llepresenta- S tives' Hall, a distance of sixty-five feet. The whole is sheathed and —j covered with copper. The water is conveyed from the roof b}' cast- ^ iron gutter pipes, eight inches in diameter, inserted in the walls, and is carried to basins under the terrace pavements all around the build- ing. This water will be eventually used to irrigate the grounds when completed. o There has been placed, on each step buttress, on each front of r»- ^ CO 92 singleton's nashville ■+S the building, an ornamental iron lamp post, sixteen in number, made OJ at the establishment of Wood, Perot & Co., Philadelphia, which are g certainly the most elaborate and costly objects of the kind which have •SS yet been put up in iron in this country. Each post consists of a Qj composite fluted column, resting on a heavy base, and supporting r^ above a large glass lamp, with gas burners. Around this column, ^ and standing on the base, are three youthful figures, nearly life size; g representing Morning and Night (female figures half draped), and M Noon, a youth holding a torch. A happy conception of the artist, . and a credit to him, keeping in view the price paid for them, and the ^ time to do them in. There are 24 of these fis-ures altoaether. "H The walls of the building for the foundation are seven feet thick; rt the upper walls four and a half feet; the inner walls are respectively •g three feet, two feet eighteen inches, and twelve inches. All of the .3 inside walls are laid with rubbed stone ; the terraces, pavements, and the round part of the tower, square droved or chiseled ; outer walls of "g first story and square part of tower, rusticated work and tooled. The ^ walls around the grounds will be drafted bush hammered. V2 The material of the building is of a stratified limestone, full of (^ fossils, some of it very hard, of a slightly bluish-gray tint, with cloud- ^ like markings. It is found within a half mile west of the building, O in a quarry opened by the State, on the grounds of Mr. Samuel Watkins. Stones have been quarried from this place weighing, in g their rough state, fifteen or twenty tuns, and thirty or more feet long. ^ One of the terrace stones of the building is eight feet three inches ^ by fourteen feet, and the cap stones of the terrace step buttresses are ® five feet ten inches by sixteen feet eleven inches, the heaviest weighing ^ probably eight or ten tuns. The stone may be considered, both as to '^ durability and beauty of appearance, when worked, equal, if not Q superior, to any building stone in the Union. The building, or parts ^j of it, have now stood the test of the storms of over fom-teeu years, CL, and is still without flaw, though our climate is exceedingly changea- d ble, and very destructive to building stone when much exposed, as ^ some other of our public edifices, built by inferior limestone, will S show. The doors, and window frames, and sash are all of oak. The p^ stairways throughout are hanging, and of stone, except the tower ^ and library steps, which are of iron. Nearly the whole of this work on the building was done by Tennessee mechanics and artisans. The W stone cutting and setting are most admirably done, and is not excelled, m or hardly equaled, in the United States or Europe. BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 93 . o There yet remains work enougli to be done on the building and O grounds to exercise the liberality of future Legislatures. The S grounds, which are uninclosed, are in a most chaotic state, a mere mass of hus-e broken rocks, together with various dilapidated out- houses, altogether a disgrace to the State and city. If once com- ^ pleted, according to the original plan of the architect, and in a manner S2{ worthy of the building, the Capitol of Tennessee, with its grounds, g will probably be the eompletest establishment of the kind in America. ^ It is devoutly hoped that the work will be carried forward without y^ delay, and in a spirit of the largest and most enlightened liberality. |gj o o RAILROADS. ^ m The railway system of the United States commenced about the ^ year 1830. In that year a road four miles long was built, over which i^ to transport ice, from a small lake near Boston to the sea. South Carolina, in the same year, began the Charleston and Augusta road, 135 miles Ions;, and finished it in 1833. tr*- o o in Ul In 1831 a railroad spirit began to pervade the whole country, and then the Legislature of Tennessee incorporated a number of railroad companies ; but owing to the want of the proper enthusiasm among our people, all these projects slept. This state of public feeling was ^ mainly attributable, we suppose, to the severe money revulsion of ^ 183G-7, which paralyzed, for a time, the efforts of commerce. At any ^ rate, it so effected the prospects of the country, that the projected ^ railroads were abandoned, and the work was not renewed with effect until 181:5, when the Georgia roads, working their way northward ^ approached Chattanooga. The construction of these roads spurred ^ our people to vigorous action, and the charters of the old enterprises g of 1831 were revived. The Nashville and Chattanooga, the pioneer road of the State, was then chartered, and some of the oldest and o ablest heads of this city labored zealously for its accomplishment, j^ Among those foremost in the work, were John M. Bass, John M. ^ Hill, Francis B. Fogg, Andrew Ewing, A. 0. P. Nicholson, V. K. ^s" Stevenson, John Bell, Willoughby Williams, William Nichol, S. D. ^ Morgan, Jo.seph T. Elliston and John Shelby. The vigilant and ^ powerful Press, too, maintained the enterprise. But chiefly is the i-s country indebted for the successful and speedy accomplishment of this important work, to the sleepless energy of its present President, V. K. Stevenson. He not only aroused, by his ingenuous eloquence, the people along the line to the great necessity of this improvement. O 94 singleton's nashville ^ but, together with John C. Calhoun and other energetic spirits of § South Carolina and Georgia, convinced their people of its importance, B and secured their aid in constructing it. Mr. Stevenson's letter of .M December 12th, 1846, to Mr. Calhoun on the necessity for the road, g was a forcible appeal for it. We would be glad, did our space admit ^ its insertion here, as showing the state of the trade of Nashville then, HI 100 singleton's NASHVILLE ^ day. Large numbers, in their eagerness to escape from the city, left § on foot, carrying with them such articles as they wished to preserve, either as mementoes or for their comfort, and, of course, these must necessarily have been few. The archives of the State were hastily packed up and shipped in a special train, during the afternoon, to Memphis, whither they were ^ accompanied by the Governor and heads of departments. The Legis- g lature met at an early hour of the morning, and went through the for- mality of adjourning to meet upon the call of the Governor, who noti- . fied them to meet at Memphis on the 20th of the month. It is said the members of the Legislature presented rather a ludicrous appear- '■^ ance as they trudged off toward the depot of one or the other of the (^ railroads, each one with his trunk on his back, or carpet sack and •g bundle in hand. As it was next to impossible to procure a vehicle .S to convey one even to the dej^ot, those who chose not to witness the promised exhibition of fire-works by General Buell and Commodore 'g Foote, "stood not on the order of their going." S These movements of the Governor and Legislature had a tendency CQ to increase the excitement, while the passage through the city at an ,£3 early hour in the day of a large portion of General Johnston's army y from Bowling Green, was another incentive to the growth of the ^ panic, which continued to spread until it seemed to have seized upon ,jj almost every one. Go where a person would, the question met him at O almost every other step, "What are you going to do?" or, "What shall ^ I do ? " To the former, the most frequent reply was, " I don't know," <(d< with here and there an exception, " I shall stay and take care of my family." Very few appeared inclined to give advice in the midst of Qj such a panic, even to their most intimate friends, so that the second ^ question was rarely answered, and each man was left to decide for Q himself whether he should leave the city, and go, he knew not where, -M nor for why, or remain and take his chances with those who had pru- ^ dence enough to stay quietly at home. {^ Every available vehicle was chartered, and even drays were called - into requisition, to remove people and their plunder, either to the ^ country or to the depots, and the trains went off crowded to their W utmost capacity, even the tops of the ears being literally covered with ^ human beings. It was a lamentable sight to see hundreds of families thus fleeing from their homes, leaving nearly every thing behind, to W seek protection and the comforts and luxuries they had abandoned «2 among strangers. i BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 101 A large number of citizens left the city from fear of fire. They C5 had been led to believe that the town would be shelled during the ^ afternoon or night at furthest, and reduced to aheap of ruins. These H went only a short distance into the country, and returned as soon as J^ they felt they could do so with safety. i^ Early in the day the yellow flag was hoisted over a number of ^ buildings occupied as hospitals. Over one business house we noticed ^ the British flag floating. The Bank of Tennessee, with its eff"ects, b^ was removed to Columbia, and several of our bankers gathered up S their specie and other valuables, and carried them to some point which they regarded as more secure than Nashville. The Planters', Union, © and City Banks were the only ones that remained. ^ Three o'clock came, and still time sped on, but neither General q Buell's army nor the gunboats had arrived. By this time the people ^ began to understand that General Buell's army could not, by any tn possibility, have got to Springfield, so that the fears of danger from oj that source were quieted. It was given out, as coming from a high P official, that the gunboats would reach here about twelve o'clock that 3* night, and this was used to keep up the panic. ^ Great fears were entertained that the torch would be applied to the en city during the night, and an urgent appeal was made to General P Johnston for protection against incendiaries. A regiment of Mis- p^ souri troops was detailed to guard the city, and faithfully did they ►g perform the duty assigned them. The night was passed in a degree 5 of quiet which was surprising as well as gratifying. oj Thus passed the most exciting Sunday we ever witnessed in y Nashville. Monday morning, the 17th, came, but it brought no gunboats or Federal troops. It had rained considerably the previous night, and the streets were full of mud, yet the Confederate troops continued to pour in in a continuous stream, and the city was soon filled with sol- 1—' o CO O diers, wet, hungry, and worn out by long and continuous marches. O As the day wore away, they gradually fell back southward, so that g; comparatively few remained in the city over night. The post-ofilce was closed at an early hour in the morning, the ^ establishment having been removed to Murfreesboro'. For more ^ than two weeks, Nashville was entirely isolated, no mails having been '^ received from or sent off to any point. Notwithstanding the Federals S? did not take possession of Nashville for more than a week after the « o 102 singleton's NASHVILLE ^ grand stampede, no mails were received from the South after that of § the morning of the 16th, having all been stopped at Murfreesboro'. S All the newspapers in the city were suspended, the stores and l>usi- .^ ness houses were closed, and a melancholy gloom hung over the city. 2 For fully ten days, it seemed one continuous Sabbath, the silence of ^ which was broken only when there was a distribution of provisions, «^ or an eifort made to ship them off. It has been truly said that half « the people one met during this period looked as though they had lost ^ their next best friend. During the night of Monday, the 17th, the two boats that were being converted into gunboats, were burned at the wharf, by order of °^ the military authorities. ?:j Tuesday night, of the 18th, the torch was applied to the railroad •g bridge, and in a short time all that remained of that sjilendid struc- ^ ture were the naked pillars and abutments, and a few smoking fra«;- ^ ments of timber. The precaution had been taken in this instance to -fra prevent the fire-beils giving the alarm, so that the burning of the g bridge was witnessed by comparatively few persons, and the event did 02 not arouse the fears of those who had expected a general conflagra- rH tion. This bridge was one of the finest draw-bridges in the country, "S and was built lor the joint use of the Louisville and Nashville and p Edgefield and Kentucky railroads, at a cost of about ^250,000. The Ph funds to build it were loaned to the two companies by the State of BQ Tennessee, under the general internal improvement laws. The bridge {> was built under the supervision and direction of Mr. A. Anderson, Chief Engineer of the Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad Company, tD and the trains passed over it the first time the 28th of October, 1859. The (7iV_y Directory for 1860-61 contains the following interesting facts in re2;ard to this bridi>e : " Its length is 700 feet, in four spans ; two fixed spans, one on each side, and two draw spans. Each fixed span is 200 feet in the clear, c^ between the supports, and the clear opening of each draw span is 120 ^ feet, making it the longest railroad draw in the world ; that at Rock ^ Island, Illinois, being 120 feet on one side, and 116 on the other. The p^ total length of draw, fi'om one extremity to the other of the movable ^ portion, is 2S0 feet, and its entire weight is computed at 285 tuns. It can 1^ readily be turned into position by one man in four and a half minutes. The bridge superstructure is of the kind known as McCallum's Truss, PQ and was erected by Messrs. Gray, "Whiton & Co., contractors. The maS' ^ ter builder was Mr. N. K. Waring. BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 103 " The masoniy supporting the bridge was built by Messrs. Maxwell, ^ Saulpaw & Co., contractors, and consists of two abutments, two main ® piers, one center pier, and two rest piers. The center i)ier, on which tlie S immense draw is turned, is circular, 30 feet in diameter at the top, and 34} feet at the bottom, and oSi feet high, and contains 2,295J perches of masonry. The eastern main pier is 75J feet high, and contains 1,2US-| ^ perches of masonry. The western main pier is 70]- feet high, and con- m tains 1,072 J perches masonry. The foundations of all tlie piers are laid y^ upon the solid rock, in water about 12 feet deep at ordinary low stages, fcd The extreme rise of water at the bridge is 47 feet. C " The total quantity of masonry in the bridge is 6,800^- perches. In "* the superstructure are 454,000 feet of timber, and 160,000 pounds of ^ iron. A heavy frame work is built between the rest piers, designed to O GO O prevent steamboats from being thrown against the piers while passing the draw, either by wind or the force of the current. In its construc- tion, 3S7,2S8 feet of timber were used, and 49,117 pounds of iron." Ui The bridge was rebuilt by the Union authorities in the followin< May. ' p o The wires of the Suspension Bridge were cut about the same time that the Railroad Bridge was fired, and the morning revealed a com- ^ plete wreck of this magnificent structure. This fine bridge was about ^ 700 feet long, and its hight 110 feet above low-water mark. It p was built during the year 18.^)0. The architect was the late Colonel p^ A. Heiman, of this city. The contractor was Mr. M. D. Field, ^ brother of Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who superintended the laying down 2 of the Atlantic telegraph cable. This bridge was owned by a joint ot stock company, chartered by the State Legislature under the name y of the Broad Street Bridge Company, and it paid handsome dividends p to the stockholders. It has not been rebuilt. O A bright and beautiful morning was that of Sunday, the 2^d ^ The city was remarkably quiet, and only here and there could be seen ^ a Confederate cavalryman — the infantry, all who were able to travel, ,. having left. About nine o'clock it was announced that the Federal o pickets had made their appearance in Edgfield, on the opposite side j^ of the river. Mayor Cheatham was sent for, and notwithstanding the river was considerably swollen and the surface almost covered with tr" " drift wood," he crossed over in a small skiff, to meet the avani courrkrs "^ of the grand army that was to take orphaned Nashville under its ^ protecting asgis. After a brief interview, the Mayor returned and ?jQ addressed the people assembled upon the Public Square, informinix ^ them that he had just had an inverview with the Captain of an Ohio %■ 104 singleton's NASHVILLE ^ cavalry company, who had authorized him to say that the property § and rights of the people would he scrupulously protected. This g assurance was very gratifying to the people, but still they were griev- .£S ously disappointed. They had expected that, when they should be ^ turned over to the Federals, a General, attended by "all the pomp ^ and circumstance of glorious war," would come to receive them. ^ Instead, however, half a dozen cavalrymen had come to take the g Capital of the great State of Tennessee ! ®2 Monday, the 24th, the steamer C. E. Ilillman, which had been sent • down to Dover on Friday, under a flag of truce, by order of General Johnston, with a number of surgeons of this city, to render such '■^ services as were needed by the wounded at Fort Donelson, returned Pi with the surgeons, whose kind offices were not needed, as the post •g was already supplied. They reported having passed a gunboat that .S morning, some thirty or forty miles below the city, and as it made only about four miles an hour and would '• lie up" during the night, "q they supposed it would reach here about nine o'clock Tuesday morn- S ing, the 25th. That was the first reliable intelligence we had that a ^ frunboat was coming to Nashville. ,£3 At an early hour of the morning of Tuesday, the 25th, the gunboat, ^ accompanied by a number of transports, was descried from the Capitol, r^ making headway around the bend below Nashville, and the news of the approach of the Federals spread through the city with almost Q telegraphic rapidity. Curiosity was on tiptoe, and hundreds hastened ^ to the Lower Landing to see the monster, for a gunboat was a greater ^. curiosity than an elephant, as well as witness the debarkation of the ® Federal troops. The fleet continued to approach nearer the city, and |5 when opposite the Gas-works, the gunboat was made fast to the oppo- '^ site shore. The "Diana" steamed up to the Landing with the Sixth P Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, the United States flag flying, and the band 4J playing Hail Columbia. A few, among whom were some who had P^ professed devotion to the Southern Confederacy, greeted the "in- j^ vaders" with a few huzzahs. How much of sincerity or of devotion ^ to the Union was in this demonstration, the action of the Federals ^ shows they were competent to judge. The Sixth Ohio debarked, pre- pq ceded by their band, who struck up The Star Spangled Banner, fol- Pj lowed by Yankee Doodle^ and the Regiment immediately formed into line, marched to and partially around the Public Square, and then up PQ Cedar street to the Capitol, where General Nelson, in the name of the OQ United States, took formal military possession of the Capital of Ten- BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 105 nessee, at forty-five minutes past eight o'clock ; and at fifteen minutes O past nine, the United States flag, after three attempts to run it up, was 5^ seen floating from the flag-stafi" on the Capitol, the flag of the Guthrie bd Greys having, meantime, been displayed from the cupola. As it was J^ the first flag displayed from the Capitol, and its color dark blue, those ^ who viewed it from a distance regarded it as " warnings, and portents, ^ and evils ominous," not knowing it was a mark of distinguished con- ^ sideration accorded the Guthrie Greys by General Nelson. The flag b^ that floated from the flag-staff" on the Capitol was a Nashville flag, ^ and althou2;h it can not be said of it, ^ "Of six preceding ancestors, that gem O Conferr'd by testament to the sequent issue, S* Hath it been owned and worn," 2 it hath an unwritten history, which runneth, that for six months it ^ had been carefully hid away by a citizen who almost idolizes that S flag — sewed in a comfort, we believe the story is, under which the old 02 man rested his weary limbs, when " civil night, the sober-suited matron, p all in black, fills the wide vessel of the universe." At his request, 3* his was the first flag to float over the Capitol under the re-establish- 5 ment of Federal rule. a While this was going on, the transports, to the number of 12 or 15, p laden with infantry, cavalry, artillery, baggage, wagons, provisions, fx, ammunition, and the et ct'feras of an army, had taken position at the ►^ wharf, and at various points along the river. The troops having de- 2 barked, marched to the Public Square, where the Twenty fourth, » Forty-first and Fifty-first Ohio and the Thirty-sixth Indiana remained y nearly the whole of the day.

Shortly afterward communication with the North was cut off, both by telegraph and railroad, and for about three months we received no mails from any direction. Only occa- sionally, when men came through from Louisville on horseback, or in p private conveyances, did we receive news of what was going on in "the •g outside world." It is a fact that the result of the battles fought in .S Maryland in September of that year, was known in London about the same time as in Nashville. During the period of isolation, the work "^ on the fortifications around Nashville was vigorously pushed forward, ;-i and the place was soon put in a tolerably good state of defense. The 2C forts then, and subsequently erected, are known as Forts Negley, ^ Casino, Morton, Gillem, Houston, Johnson and Battery Meigs. ^ During a good portion of the time when Nashville was isolated — p^ which continued two full months — the city was besieged by the Rebels, ,tj and considerable skirmishing occurred at various times. o General McCook's Division, being the advance of the Army of the P^ Cumberland, on its return from Kentucky, under the command of ^ General Rosecrans, arrived in Edgefield on the morning of the 7th of ^ November, and the famous siege was then raised. © General Rosecrans arrived in Nashville on the lOth of November, -a and established his headquarters in the former residence of George R W. Cunningham. ^ On the 26th of November railroad communication with Louisville &* was again restored. O During the three years since the occupation of Nashville by the Union army, an immense amount of work has been done here by the p^ Government, which is to be seen in every portion of the city and W suburbs, in the shape of warehouses, shops, barracks, dwellings and ^ hospitals. The hospitals erected in the western suburbs of the city are said to be the best suited for the purpose of any in the country.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 115 closed with the following account of the battle fought before this city O at the close of last year, written by Captain James F. Rusling, Chief ^ Assistant Quartermaster, Department of the Cumberland, and pub- bd lishcd in the United States Service Magazine^ which the author has ^ kindly granted us the privilege of inserting : y^ '• We have glanced over most of the newspapers of the day, and t^ have read some well written accounts of the recent battles here, but ^ so far have met with none that elucidate the facts as they actually occurred. With a view to this, and as a humble contribution to © current history, in order to put fairly on record the great events that ^ have just transpired here, we propose to give in extcnso, but as briefly o as possible, such an account of the same as to an eye-witness here — ^ 'part of which I was, and all of which I saw' — seems true and oa logical. 05 "It will be remembered, that on or about the 20th day of Novem- p ber. Hood crossed the Tennessee, and with his whole army pushed q* straight for Pulaski. Our cavalry, which was then too feeble for § more than observation, fell back covering our infantry, and both on retired without much fighting to the vicinity of Columbia. Here, P posted behind Duck river, some show of fighting was made, but only p^ a show. Our forces were pressed so closely, that we had only time to ^ destroy the Railroad bridge, and, hastily setting fire to the pontoon 2 bridge, abandoned it to the enemy. Thence to Franklin, but eighteen co miles from Nashville, it was a scrub race, to see which army should W first cross Harpeth river. If Hood crossed first, Schofield was cut ?o oiF, and Nashville, with its vast stores — a most tempting prize to the <^ starved and ragged rebels— was likely to foil. But if Schofield -? crossed first, his trains were safe, and a stand at Franklin would ^ enable Thomas at Nashville to collect well the forces already hasten- ^. iiin- to his relief It will be recollected that Thomas was in chief o command, but remaining in Nashville, because the natural brain of g; our movement here, while Schofield was in command of the forces in the field actually before Hood. Fortunately for the country, the race ^ to Franklin was won by Schofield, and once across the Harpeth he ^ gathered up all his forces and planted them like a rock in the path of ^ the advancing enemy. His infantry was outnumbered, and his cavalry jf in eff"ect nowhei'e ; but he had nevertheless to fight Hood now, both o to give Thomas needed time, and to enable his own trains to get safely r»- 116 singleton's NASHVILLE ^j off. Hood, confident of success, lost no time in attacking, and though <0 terribly bruised, as his own official report well discloses, was nevertheless g yielded possession of the battle-field, and our own forces, under cover •S of the night, withdrew in good order to the defenses of Nashville.* g But the time thus gained by us was every thing, more precious to p^ Thomas " than gold, yea than much fine gold." Our wagon trains, ^ though sorely beset by Forrest, in the main had been got off safely to g Nashville, and meanwhile the last of A. J. Smith's command had ^ arrived from Missouri, and at the last moment Steedman, just in the • nick of time "to save his bacon," got in from Chattanooga. In truth, he did not save it entirely, as a few of his last cars, loaded V with troops, were attacked and captured by Forrest, almost within fl sight of Nashville. Hood, apparently nothing abashed by his pup- •g ishment at Franklin, followed close on our heels, as we withdrew to .2 Nashville, and the next day completed his investment of the city, from the river round to the river again. Any tolerable map will now % show the situation here very clearly. At Nashville, the Cumberland !^ makes a sharp bend north, and within the bend, on the south side of ^ the river, lies the city. Hood at once stretched his forces across the ,£4 bend, along the crests of a series of hills, some four or five miles or b so from the city, his flanks covered by cavalry, and thus boldly con- r^ fronted our own works, on a somewhat similar but better series of hills, nearer of course to Nashville. He thus sat down seriously before our works, cutting our communications with Johnsonville, Decatur, and Chattanooga, and immediately began to feel our lines, ^ as if meaning to attack. Next he planted batteries on the Cumber- ® land, and thus closed that artery for supplies to all but armored gun- g boats. Our only line of communication thus left open was the Louis- es ville and Nashville Railroad, already overwhelmed with Government P rolling stock, withdrawn from Nashville and below, and a slender .^j precarious line, at best, nearly 200 miles in length, liable to be cut P^ by guei'rillas at any moment, and which Forrest was only waiting for ^ the Cumberland to fall, to cross and smash at his leisure. We were ^ thus pretty thoroughly cooped up and penned in for a time, and timid ^ people at a distance, who knew nothing about our strength or the ^ > =:■" Hood, in his olflcial report, acknowledging 'the loss of mauy gallant officers and men,' amongst thorn enumerates Major-Goueral Cleburne, and Brigadier-Generals Williams, AdHms, Gist, Strophel, and Grauberg killed, and Major-Geueral Brown, and Brigadier-Generals Carter, Monigel, Quarles, Cockerill, and Scott, wounded ; and Brigadier-General Gordon a prisoner. Thirteen General officers lost in a preliminary fight, would be a suspicious 'victory' to any but a Confederate General. BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 117 state of our supplies liere, or at Chattanooga, naturally enough grew O nervous. There was, however, no real cause for alarna at any time, ^ especially after Hood let his first forty-eight hours here slip by with- b^ out assaulting. Had he attacked at once on arriving here, and ^ massed heavily on our right, the weakest point in our line at that jj time, though since made one of the strongest, he might have given us Cl some trouble — though he could scarcely have succeeded in his enter- S prise. In fact, our last reinforcements, Smith and Steedman, gave \^ Thomas such a happy preponderance of infantry and artillery, that ^7 from the hour they were both safely in, nobody here who knew much " of aiFairs ever seriously doubted our ability to hold Nashville at all g* hazards, and against all contingencies. With Smith, or about that £, time, came also eight navy gunboats, including the iron^clad monitor g Neosho — a mere chunk of iron, absolutely invulnerable to all ordinary ^ shot, and whose monster guns could readily upset any river batteries ^ the enemy could bring against her. In ample time, too, citizens were qj impressed and sent to the fortifications, with pick and shovel. The |o" military forces of the Quartermaster's Department, some 5,000 strong, g» were also early under arms, and at work on the intrenchmeuts. Two 1^ ... . ^ goodly lines of works, exterior and interior, vrere thus hastily con- ^ Engineer, encircling the town at a distance varying from a mile to ^ structed, under the direction of Brio-adier-General Tower, Chief p pi two miles, frowning with forts and redoubts, and bristling with rifle- ^ pits, and crowning our whole outlying hills from the Cumberland o around to the Cumberland again. We were thus ready to receive ^ Hood, our forces all thoroughly in hand, and prepared at all points to ^ meet his attack, so long ago as December .5th or Gth. Thomas now p waited, but Hood did not come. He tempted him with reconnois- o sauces, but he would not follow. He peppered him with round shot, ^ but he would not respond. He complimented him with shell, but he rf^ would not answer. Hood evidently had the strange idea that Thomas would either evacuate, without fighting, or would be starved into a q surrender, by the destruction of his communications, and, therefore, e4- that all he had to do was to make good his investment, and strike, as he was able, at the Louisville Railroad, a ht Sherman at Jonesboro, fr when aiming for Atlanta. He most singularly mistook his man. He *^ forgot he was dealing with the Rock of Chickamauga. A novice in *^ war might have known Thomas better. His forces all in hand, and ^ his works well completed, with fair supplies of all kinds on hand, and o abundance of most, Thomas's once anxious brow had long since «*• 118 singleton's NASHVILLE cleared thorouglily up ; his usually quiet eyes began now to gleam with the 'fierce light' of battle; and it was soon apparent to all, S who happened much at headquarters, that ' Old Pap Tom,' as his soldiers persist in calling him, prudent General as he is, would very speedily be ' spoiling for a fight !' o OS O >• " Our subsequent battle here would have been delivered now instead < of later, for General Thomas was fully ready, was confident of his troops, and knew his troops to be confident of him ; but one thing lf2 more was yet needed, to make his anticipated victory doubly sure, and that was cavalry. 'A horse ! A horse ! A kin2;dom for a horse ! ' O might well have been the burden of his cry now, as of Richard the •J2 Third's, four centuries ago, as reported by Shakspeare. He had ^ plenty of men, and tolerably good men, too, but little more than half ,2 enough horses, and the equine quadrupeds Avere not to be had any- § where, in the regular way, within the required time. In this juncture, O the Secretary of War Ciime to his rescue, and telegraphed Wilson, ^ his Chief of Cavalry, to impress and seize all serviceable horses any- 0) where within the Military Division of the Mississippi, whether in Tennessee or Kentucky, and so to remount his men quickly, at all hazards, in any way. The order was rigorously carried out; a week's U time or so sufiiced to secure the required mounts, and finally, Decem- O ber 11th or 12th, Thomas at last felt himself fully prepared 'to move upon' Hood's 'works.' K? "Jack Frost, however, now set in, and soon all the hills about ^ Nashville were aglare with ice. Neither man nor beast could now ^. keep his feet, and so Thomas for some days yet was still further com- - almost immediately, Thomas opened in full blast on our right ; A. J. ^ Smith, supported by Wood and covered by the cavalry, swept forward ^ 120 singleton's NASHVILLE -*j like an avalanclie on Hood's feeble left; and, almost before the enemy o knew we were advancing, we were upon him, and over him, were g crushing his line, storming his batteries, and flanking his positions, •S and in a trice, so to speak, his whole left wing was hopelessly doubled Qj up and gone forever. This let the cavalry loose, and now Wilson p^ swept round and past our right like a thunderbolt. One Division, ^ under Brigadier-General Johnson, he dispatched down the Cumber- ^ land to look after Chalmers, and a battery reported there, which was ^ afterward taken ; with the other two, Croxton's and Hatch's, he • covered Smith's right, and hung like an avenging cloud on the flank and rear of the rebels, as they fell sullenly back on their -*! center. ^ " Hood now saw his mistake of the early morning, and, from the *§ bights about Nashville, could be distinctly seen in the distance his .S long lines of infantry and artillery, hurrying frantically over from his right to support his imperiled center. His position was yet a very "S strong one, stretching along the wooded sides and crests of a series of ^ high hills, covered with skillful breastworks, fringed with rifle-pits ^ and abattis, and bristling with cannon, that swept all the sides and ^ gorges, and Hood now evidently bent all his energies to hold it to the ^ last. A. J. Smith, though brave as a lion, was too good a General to ^ butt his brains out against such a position, and so he halted to recon- ,jj noiter and report. As the result of his observations, Wood was O brought well up on Smith's left, and Schofield, who had hitherto been ^ chafing in reserve, was moved out, and swung round on Smith's right, ^ while Wilson was pushed out still further round to the right, so as to outflank and gain the rear of Hood's new position, if he found it g practicable. Hood's line was now thoroughly felt, by both artillery rt and infantry, from point to point, and though there were some Q successes here and there, yet the enemy held his ground so stubbornly ■^ that little was eff"ected until just at nightfall, when Wood charged a p» battery that had been shelling his line most of the afternoon, and j^ carried it with a rush in the handsomest style. This substantially ^ closed the operations of the first day, and our army bivouacked on the ^ field thus so manfully won. Sixteen pieces of artillery and over p^ 2,000 prisoners were the fruit of the day's work, and Thomas rode ^ home to his headquarters at dark, to telegraph to Washington the results of his beginning. W "As he left the position he had occupied chiefly through the day, 02 it is reported, he remarked to an ofiicer. ' So far, I think we have BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 121 succeeded pretty well. Unless Hood decamps to-night, to-morrow d Steedman will double up his right, Wood will hold his center, and ^ Smith and Schofield again strike his left, while the cavalry work away fcd at his rear.' His words had almost the prescience of prophecy ; for J^ nearly this exact movement took place next day. Under cover of the ^ night. Hood drew back his right center and right, so as to straighten ^ the new line he had been forced to assume, and in the morning was S found in position along the Overton Hills, some two miles or so to the bd rear of his original line. ^ "It will be seen that Hood had thus shortened his line, by drawing in and concentrating his forces, and had planted himself squarely o across the Granny White and Franklin pikes, to cover his trains, that p^ were already, no doubt, fast hurrying to the rear. All his strong o lines of w^orks nearer the city, upon which it was afterward found he o* had bestowed a vast deal of labor and care, were thus wholly aban- » doned, because obviously untenable after the thoroua;h smashing and m turning of his left as on Thursday, and it was soon evident to all that ^ his present stand was now only in desperation. Indeed, every body o' now felt that Hood was, in fact, already Avell w^iipped, and that, if let co alone, he would, of his own accord, soon depart whence he came, ca But Thomas, sturdy old soul, had not the least idea of letting him P alone. He had given 'Old Tom' too much trouble to stop yet awhile ; P^ and so, with the break of day, our skirmishers were up to, and over, ^ and through his old works. Thence our lines swept easily and ^ steadily forward, on the center and left, until a thick curtain of rebel ^ skirmishers, and the opening of their artillery, warned us to halt and O consider. Hood's new position, on examination, as already indicated, ^ proved to be one of great strength, and, as was afterward found, had ^ been selected and carefully fortified by him days before, in wary antici- - pation, doubtless, of all possible contingencies. His line on Thurs- ^ day had been originally over six miles long, until his left was doubled ^ up, or, rather, battered in, when it was reduced to about four. But © here on Friday he occupied a line scarcely three miles in length, run- ^ ning along the wooded crests of closely-connecting hills, and which ^ even a better General than Hood might well have regarded with com- ^ placent satisfaction. The two keys to his position were directly on w and covering the Granny White and Franklin pikes, leading to Frank- lin, Columbia, Pulaski, and so down the country to the Tennessee, e^- Both of these, it will be freely admitted, were admirably adapted for g defense, as well by nature as by the work of Hood's industrious axes ^ 9 122 singleton's nashville ^ and shovels; and here now the enemy grimly stood, prepared to deliver © a final battle, that was undoubtedly to decide, for this war at least, the g fate of Tennessee, and, perhaps, also of Kentucky. If successful .2 here, Hood could retire at his leisure, his trains intact, sweeping the ^ country as he marched ; or, for that matter, if he chose, could return ^ to the front of Nashville, and try another bout with 'the chuckle- ^ headed Thomas,' as the Kebel General Cheatham is reported to have ® dubbed him, because of his obstinate fighting at Chickamauga. If ^ unsuccessful, his trains were menaced, his army endangered, Tennessee in effect lost, the morale of his troops gone, and a rapid flight down ^ the country, and across the Tennessee at Florence, with Thomas hack- '^ ing and thundering at his heels, his only alternative. A more pi'U- fH dent commander would have thought twice, and hesitated long, before .S accepting stich perilous chances. But Hood never was a prudent com- ^ mander, and Thomas now was only too glad to grapple with such an ^ audacious blunderer. Accordingly, as indicated the night before, -♦J" Thomas now at once pushed forward his left, and as Steedman ad- g vanced he found the Murfreesboro and Nolensville pikes, as had been M expected, comparatively free of the enemy. A few cavalrymen dis- rH puted his advance here and there, but their resistance was feeble, and t^ practically amounted to nothing. As he came up to the Overton O Hills, however, and stretched across to connect with Wood, the enemy opened on him with an advanced battery, and in pursuance of his pre- 50 vious instructions, Steedman halted now and awaited orders. Wood fe meanwhile had come up early on the Franklin pike, and was now en- _u gaged in briskly shelling the enemy's lines on Overton Knob, though ® only meaning to hold him in position there. Both he and Steedman, 5^ as yet, were acting only as foils, and they were both directed now to 73 await the further development of movements off" on the right. There Q massed, on or about the Granny W^hite pike, and extending well to ^ the right of it, were A. J. Smith and Schofield, with the Sixteenth Ki and Twenty-third Corps, with Croxton and Hatch of Wilson's cav- j^ airy eagerly co-operating, feeling briskly, but most intently, all points ^ of the enemy's position there, but unable, as yet, with all their assid- ^ uity, to find the vulnerable point now desired. pq '' The delay thus wore on apace. Noon came, with but little valua- ^ ble result, as yet. Smith and Schofield were both chafing, and eager to assault, and both felt confident of their ability to carry the opposing W lines; but Thomas, as yet, refused them his consent. He was not yet 03 fully ready ; he had sent the cavalry well around to the right, to gain BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 123 Hood's flank, and menace his rear, and he was still waiting to hear O the result, before he launched at Hood's head these twin thunderbolts ^ of war.* W " Now, however, well on to four o'clock P. M., news from the cav- o, airy suddenly came, in a prolonged fire of rifles and carbines, that swept round the rebel flank, and crept up along Hood's rear, and then the hour had struck, and the time had come. ' Now tell Generals Schofield and Smith to advance,' w'as Thomas' quiet order. Away lr« sped his aids, spurring like the wind ; but before the order could reach t^ either Smith or Schofield, they had both already caught the meaning of the fierce fire along the Rebel flank and rear, and, without waiting to hear from their imperturbable old chief, they both at once ordered a general assault; and, simultaneously, with leveled bayonets and of the flerce fire along the Rebel flank and rear, and, without waiting td to hear from their imperturbable old chief, they both at once ordered o en o ringing cheers, their lines swept superbly forward, up to, and over, {£i and around the Rebel works, while Wood and Steedman on their left, a Ul g- catching up the inspiration, pressed gallantly forward, and almost in a twinkling, our general movement carried all before it. For a time, there was hot work. The whole Rebel line, from end to end, was ablaze with musketry and a roar with cannon. The hills shook, the p earth trembled, and the whole field was like 'the sulphurous and g gaping mouth of hell.' But in an hour or so, the conflict was mainly ^ over, and what were left of the Rebels, were in full retreat — almost S pellmell — down the Granny White and Franklin pikes, and so away ^ for Dixie, o " 'For Dixie's land, awai/, away! ' ^ "Some few stood their ground bravely, and fought most desperately ^ to the last. But many abandoned their muskets, where they rested ^ between the logs of the breastworks, and others threw muskets, knap- CD sacks, blankets, every thing aside, that would impede their locomo- «? tion, as they fled wildly and panic-stricken, apparently, away from the ^^k battlefield. Said a captured Rebel Brigadier General to the writer ® afterward, in speaking of this charge and rout, ' Why, sir, it was the ^ most wonderful thing I ever witnessed. I saw your men coming, and ji held my fire — a full brigade, too — until they were in close range, ^ could almost see the 'whites of their eyes,' and then poured my volley 2 . ^ . CD '^' The query, "Where was Forrest all this time?" will, doubtless, occur to the reader. The ^2 answer ia, that Hood had previously scattered hia cavalry, a part beiug sent off" on the ram- page," down the Cumberland, after our transports, and the balance on a wild goose chase CO around Murfreesboro, where they got thoroughly drubbed, about the time Hood was beiug N pnmmeled on Thursday. Thomas, it ia reported, knew of Forrest's being thus away, before

^ names of their fallen comrades in its memory forever. Conquerors with Sherman at Atlanta, they are now again fit conquerors at Nash- t3 ville, while yet his victorious legions are marching through Georgia, or thundering, perchance, at the gates of Savannah. In view of these ^ great triple triumphs, for Freedom and the Union, made by the same ^ common army, in one campaign, let the nation reverently resolve once more to 'thank God, and take courage ' for the future.

The enviable reputation which it has always sustained, is an all-sufficient recommmendation to those who have so long and favorably known it, and to such as are unacquainted with its superiority, we can say that Physi- cians throughout the country make it a rule to send all desperate cases to us for treatment; it being a gener- ously admitted fact that if a cure is possible, it is more likely to result from our system of practice, than from that of any other known prac- titioner. Yet, in offering our services to the invalid, we have no desire to recommend ourself in preference to other equally well-established and experienced Physicians; nor do we pretend to be infallible, or the only man capable of curing the numerous diseases that our race is subject to. Our treatment is as mild and pleas- ant as possible, and the ii7ne neces- sary to effect a cure, must be determined by circumstances. No Physician can consistently (with truth) tell his patients precisely how long it will require to make a permanent cure. Dr. Coleman does not claim the possession of any wonbekful secret rem- edies, or extraordinarily agreeable treatment — as all sensible men must know that success in the practice of medicine does not depend so much upon the dis- covery of neiv remedies, or new modes of treatment, as upon the skillful use of those remedial agents necessary to a perfect cure ; and this can be acquired only by patience and patient application. The Remedies we employ, and our Method of Treatment, in all the principal diseases that our race is subject to, are essentially different from those treated by other Physicians, and their mer- its rest on the facts that they are harmless to the Constitution, and certain to afford permanent relief. Our terms are within the reach of all. Inviolable secrecy and sympathy with the misfortunes of our patients, and honorable and upright dealing are assured. We are too careful of our reputa- tion to resort to the petty meanness and deception so often imposed upon the class of sufferers to whom we devote our service. ALL LETTERS MUST BE ADDHESSED TO DR. COLEMAN, 64 North Cherry St., FOR If LPj' SPECIAL DISEASES. 02 ®r P®^T-®FFICE B@X S®^, IVasliTilSe, TeMsa. BUSINESS (HUISr) DIRECTORY. 197 Hopper J. H. ap;ent, grocer S.
