CO The las; Little Rock Gazette contains an
i.IIberai and wanton attack upon the Rev MIR.
MAfFITT. We think the uncorteous and wicked
assault OF the editor of that print, evinces bad
'aste, and such as we were not prepared to ex-
pect from him. II bas called out response in
the banner from the pen of one, who, if we mis-.
take not, from the impress of spirit and genius
which mark every line of that eloquent. article,
has upon former occasions. embellished its COL

mean the gallant MAJOR BoRLAvD whose fierce
onslaught urged by his impetuous and patriotic
spirit happy command of language and forcbe

fence of the Minister of the gospel by the chival-

the attack OF the Gazette, unexpected.
We shall publish the article of the Gazette,

TENNESSEE MoNEY.-The Mississippi papers
are warning the holders of Tennessee Bank Notes
to get rid Of them as soon as possible. They say
there is no doubt that the banks of that State are
on the eve of blowing up. They are now resort
ing TO the same expedent which the Mississippi
Banks sought just previous to their final catastro-

get specie for their worthless issues. There can
be no doubt that they are destined to fail very
soon.
The Legislature Of Miss. have before il bill to
