The Figure Comprehensive congratulate
Commodore Elliott on the completion of his
" great work" We think We hear amidst the
peens of applause which rend the skies, the
Elliott and the Figure Head" is cbaunted in
harmonious unison with "Chantry and Wash
ington." The work is accomplished. The FL
CURE Head has lost ats head, and all Rome re-
joices. The "Glory" of yesterday was this
morning wrapped up in sail cloth, "to hide its
diminished head" from the impairment gaze OF
admring mutitudes.
We lament the necessity, but our conscience
will not permit us to be silent, that compes US to
announce the truly lamentable and melancholy
intelligence, that the Craven Image which Jes-
Sc the Commodore has set up-a thing for men
to worship and wonder at-has died by decapi-
tation. Some daredevil fellow, who richly
merits the punishment OF a monument and an
epitaph, stole upon his sleeping victim, during
the roaring of the storm last night, and sa,oed
his head off! We want language to express
our adherence of this detestable and. savage
act-an act worthy only of Mohawk, or
Black Hawk. Infamous wretch! 10 decapitate
the Lords Amounted" The "glory has de-
parted"--the Manworshiper is rolling in ashes
his Idol is clothed in sackcloth, and nobody
says, "alas poor Jesse! Alas poor Fl ,ure
Head!!" ...
We learn that Captain Elliott sent for Mr..
Beecher the Carver to-day, and requested him
to carve a new head piece FIR the trunk
Of the Image, but Mr.. Beecher, much to his ere.
dit positivevly declined having any thing more
to do with "The Figure Head" He had done
with its sufficiency, Boston Transcript.
Social Intercourse should make it prn-
ciple to extend the hand of fellowship to every
man who discharges faithfully his duties and
maintains good order-who manifests deep
interest in the welfare of general society-whose
department is upright, and whose mind is intel
ligent, without stopping to ascertain whether ne
swings hammer or draws thread. There IS
nothing so distant from all natural rule and ma
tural claim as the reluctant, the backward SYM
pathy-the forced sme-the checked CONVEX
sation-the hestating compliance-the well-off
are too apt to manifest to those little down;
with whom, in comparison OF intellect and prn-
ciples of virtue, they frequently sink into insg-
nificance.-Daniet Webster.
Union Bank of Tennessee.-The House of Rep.
resentatves has passed, almost without debate,
Mr.. Folks bill regulating the deposits in the pet
