THE LEGISLATURE

The LEGlSLAlORE
Adjourned on Monday last, after sess
sion of four months and eleven days The
people, of course, will expect favorable
accoun, Of the stewardship of their ser
wants, in view of the great length Of the
session. II was predicted al the opening OF
the session, that the members would not be
willing TO leave the capital so long as there
was dollar left in the Treasury, and that
so long as the pay would last the work
IToul1 last. Whether the prediction has
been verified or not, to The letter, we cannot
tell. We hope the Treasury Us not com
pIc,ely exhausted, for if such were the fact
we should begin to suspect 'ha, the failure
Of the dimes was really the rlorivc Tor adj
lOurnmenr. The question is, then, naturally
III the minds OF US all, what good has the
Legislature done any how! Who has been
benefited by their meeting together except
themselves? We cannot answer these cues
tons satisfactorily. A vast amount Of pTI-
va,e and local business, undressing to
the general reader, has been accomplished,
which would lead us to suppose that some
of the members at least have been iaborlag
assiluously in the discharge Of their dates.
From the great amount Of this sorl OF bust.
ness, which has continually loaded the col
umns Of the Nashville papers, we are in
clined to believe that in this department,
at least, il hes been tailoring session.
Not much of general interest, however,
has been done. The most important meas
ure of the session, by the passage OF which
the members would have enlearcd them
selves to their constituenls-we mean the
Internal improvement, bl!l-as our readers
know, was rejected. And the only meas
ure of any real benefit 10 the State at large
that was matured into law, was the bill
giving three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars TO our Railroad Many other ques
tons were presented and ably discussed,
but the grea,er part Of them were rejected.
The MISSION TO RussIA.-It is announce
ed that eX- Governor NELL S. BGowN, OF
this State. has been selected by the PRESS
dent as Minister TO the Court OF ST. Peters
bursh. For the honor thus conferred upon
Tennessee, we feel highly grattied. and re-
ioice that the mantle has fallen upon one
eminen,ly fitted for the station. Governor
Browns distinguished abilities. and his
coastan, unwavering attachment TO the
American Union, amid the storm which
has assaled the permanency Of that Union,
has enleared him to every patriotic Ten
nessean, and no where has he so com
pIetely wound himself about the affections
of the people, as amongst the mountains
of East Tennessee. Here, his friends fall
tered not, but abded by him. supported
and upheld him TO the last. Whilst we
regret the momentary reverse OF his po-
lilicrl fortune in his own State, brought on
by demagcgues Of the opposition and i'm
beetle friends, we rejoice a. the higher DIS
liacllon with which he and Tennessee have
been houored. The sagaciy OF the Presi'
dent is rendered, by this act, still the mo'e
for better selection could not
have been made. A more estmabe gem
lieman, or purer patriot, never lived.

GEN. Pillow AND THE CAMARGo
D1roHEs.-This gentleman has written
letter TO the editor of the NORTH american
Reriep in defence of the notifications cree
ted at Camargo during the Mexican War
which were So much rldculed at the time
1t will be seen by the concluding part o.
the following paragraph. that the redoubla'
bic hero OF Duck River proposed to catch
the Mexlcans, very much alter the plan
I! at the Indians catch 5ulialos. History
records that the General Gld build the
Buffalo pen. We are at a loss TO know
how many MeAlcans he caught in il. We
hope he will inlorm the public 10 his next
communication. He says:
"The objections made to these military
works, we remember, were that the bitches
were made inside OF the works, and not
outside, as is usually the case, and it was
said that their whole effect was not to keep
invaders out of the town, but rather 10 keep
those in possession Of it already in. Gen,
eral Pillow was, therefore, laughed a! for
having made great bIunder. But he now
replies that these arrangements were not
intended for defensive works at ALL; that
the American army was not within the
town; and tina, their whole object was TO
catch and hold those Mexican depredatorS
who had "proclivily tor horse stealing"
When they were once inside OF the enclos>
ures, it was impossible Tor them to get out
again. Gen. Pillow contends that they
were admirably adapted to their purpose. Z"

H>HESE are the times in which men look for the
L duings Of the world and general information, 10
the Press which is, by the-by, the true pathfinder
for business men, as well as those who wish TO make
every Penny count most for themselves This be-
ing the order Of the day, the undersigned wish 10
keep with the current, and at the same time give
the reader good hint which path to travel to make
his money count most. few good reasons will
satisfy the reader a, once why it is that they
and will sell any gentleman suit of Ready-made
Clothing, from the commOnest every day suit, to
fine Sunday and superfne wedding suit, cheaper
than any other establishment. In the first place,
then, they are able to sell cheaper than other
establishments, because they are well acquainted
with their business. They buy and sell for Cash,
and know when and where and how TO purchase
their goods. Goods well bought are half sold"
Even if they had no advantages over any one in
their line Of business, they can still undersel them,
because they require no large profits to make upfor
large expenses. They attend tother business them
selves, and therefore incur but small expenses, com:
paratiyely speaking, in carrying on the same. They
sell their Goods for Cash. and therefore require no
large profits to make up for loss sustained by credit
sales. No one will doubt that the Cash system,
together with small profits, is the best mode off deal
ing and most advantageous to the purchaser. IL
any one doubts this, he will be convinced of its
truth by calling at the CLOTHING AND VA
RIETY STORE, Corner of the Virginia Hotel,
where he will find large assortment of all kinds
ofReady made Clothing, for Menand Boys wear,
such as Clocks, Over Coats Frock, Sack, Business
and Dress Goats, Pants and Vests of all descrip-
tons, Wuollen Under shirts and Drawers, all kinds
of Shirts, Collars, Cravats, Handkerchefs, Gloves,
Gaps and Hats, together with some fancy articles,
all Of which they will with pleasure exhibit for ex
animation to those who call upon them. Their pri
ces are such will salty every one that thisis the
place to buy Fall and Winter Clothing. Thesub-
scribers take this occasion to tender to the public
their thanks for the liberal patronage which they
have thus far received, and respectfully solicit
continuance Of the same.
