MOBILE, Sept. live learn from
gentleman who we know incompetent 10
deceive us, that tile late Spanish Cover
| nor Masot, OF Pensacola, previous 10 his
| departure for Havana, addressed let
| ter to the brave and couriley Col. Brooke,
| then in command at Pensaco ola, express
| ing his decided Appreciation Of the con
| duct of the commander and the American
army 10 him and those under his com-
| mand, subsequent to the surrender of the
| post at The Barancas. We rejoice 10 hear
| this, as from very respectable source,
we once learnt that very different impress
| sions prevailed, and although we promui-
| gated the rumOur of the day, we al the
same time expressed our disbelief, and
| subsequently, published cuntradic ton.
| We do not know Colonel Brooke, per-
| sonally, but from the information Of friends,
who are seldom deceived, we are bound
to believe that II is poi his nature to treat
a foe improperly, still less conquered e.
| nemy subject TO his eontroul.
! WASHINGTON, October 6-The Go
vernon ofthe State of Tennessee has re-
| Gently published an address 10 his fellow
ciiizens, assigning his reasons fornot hav-
ing convened the Legislature. In extra
session, and for having, by Temporary
appointment, filled the vacancy in the re-
! presentation of that state in the Senate OF
| the United States, occasioAed by the re-
signation of Mr.. Campbell. In order 10
JUSTLY the preference which, in making
that appointment, he has given t. MIR.
Eaton, the governor has published the
names OF the persons who have recon-
mended that gentleman TO his notice.
This course, though novel, appears 10 MS
to be in perfect accordance with the prin-
ciples ot our government. If, in all cases
appointments To- office, the recommeIi-
datlons were in like manner published,
| good effects, 1t appears to us, would al
tend the practice. 1t would be seen uR-
der what inducements or influences APP
| pointments are made and letters OF re-
commentator, having some responsible
lily attached to them, would he granted
| with less facility. AT present, it trequent-
ly happens, that those appointments
which prove most unpopular, are backed
| by the most numerous and respectable
| recommendations. Nat Int
In noticing paragraph which appear
ed in the National Inlelligencer few
weeks ago. stating IT as a singular fact,
| reported IN AN OHIO newspaper, that the
notes OF one liaIf the banks lately charter
ed by that state are refused TO be received
In pavmen; OF the state taxes, the Steu-
| bcnvIlie Herald saws
| The fact that the ou1v rba RI ba
III thus state, which refuses to redeem its notes
is the German Bank of Wooster and there is
| only one chartered bank beside, in this state
| viz. the Commercial Bank of Lake Erie IN bad
credit. The latter bank, we learn, redeems
| its paper with specie, OF demand the refusal
TO pay draft made upon il by the u States
Bank infused into the public mind suspicion
of its solyeucy."
The fact copied by us from an Ohio
paper, is however, moi conireVerted ; but
is attributed 10 decision of the treasu-
rer Of the state Of Ohio, WHICH the Herald
condemns as indiscreet aud uncalled for.
A Society has recently been instituted
at Cincinnati, Ohio, Tor the collection,
preservation, exhibition and illustration
OF natural aud artificial curiosities, parti-
cuIarly those of The western country.
The first efforts of the managers are di-
rected to the establishment Of perma-
nenl museum, on a scale so comprehen-
slve as TO receive specimens of every
thing curious which they may be able 10
procure among which are reckoned as

rails generally, including petritactions :
remains Oi Indigenous animals relics of
tie unknown people who constructed the
ancient works of the western country !:
