wake of her unfailing competitor. She, answer,

her big eyes at her rival, and, seeing she had it

teen ounareo persons, lar too. many
When Pytona and Fashion were broaght out.
and the race waa about to begin, there was a ve
ry sodden movement a sort of general bending
iorward,u catch a view of the celebrated horses
Thia movement produced ah extra strain upon the
stand, whicb wavered, tottered, and cracked At
first' it parted and fell gradually at least, suffic
iently so to give a momentary, and only a momen
tary, warning of danger. Then the whole centre
of lb p-n(kroua'mi8s, conuiiiingtwostorieavand
more than one hundred feet in length, fell with
a tremendous crash. . . , v
The ecene that ensued beggara all descriptiofu
The cry of panic and alarm was truly appalling ;
and it was impossible for. a' time' to discover t he
extent of the injury, and the belief at firat was
general that a great many lives had been lost
roles were promptly obtained to keep ine crowd
back, and to remove the ruins and lumber. The
li-Ondnd floor was ocupied with eating, drinking
and gambling tables, aad contained a great num
ber pf people, some of whom "were among the
wounded. .. - -... ,, 7
It occupied about half an hoar to clear away
tbe maaa of. rubbten. Meanwhile, tbe reports
were of the most exaggerated character, and. by
the time they reached tbe city the number of kil
led was placed by several of them at over one
hundred. As far as we pave been able to ascer
uin, no life waa immediately lost; although a boy
was. carried away apparently dead, and it was
feared that five others were dangerously if not
tat all y wounded. :

Cel. Barrow, ihe editor of the Nashville Banner

great assembly was to be addressed. Grasping.
with a powerful intellect tbe strongest views eta
subject, and seizing with singular felicity the
weak points of his adversary, he guard his own
poaitiuoT with .- judgment and skill, and attacks
those of bis opponent, wiip all the weapons afar
gument, sarcaem, and wit. His noble vuice the
tones of which seem now like the tones 01 a truuu

soft mortnunngs or the lute, to breathe forth no
thing but subdued sorrow of requited and eoirten

indignation and then melting with pa' bos the
workings of a face every lineament of whkh

wonder is it that John J. Crittendcfd should be es
teemed neof the tirst orators if not the first-
and one of the besomed of the day 7 l it has been
our good fortune to see much of hiuj land from
