The Legislature of the State of Ten
nessee adjourned on Monday week. The
following notice of one of its latest acts is
copied from the Nashville Wing
1.-The bil to suppress the sale and use
of Bowie Knives deserves to be reckoned
among the salutary acts passed by the late
General Assembly. Its provisions will
effectually stay the use and sale of one of
the most bloody instruments Of death
known to the present age, and every friend
of humanity and good order must rejoice
that the practice Of wearing this barba'
rous weapon has been rendered misde'
meanor, and its use, in any way, FELo.
