1t was not George W. Kendall, Of the Plea
yune, but our old friend, WILLIAM G. KENpALL,
who has been appointed Post Master at New
Orleans. We knew him more than twenty
years ago, an apprentice in the Banner Office
at Nashville. He afterwards settled in Carroll
county, Miss, where the people took such a
liking to him that they sent him two or three
times to the Legislature. We had lost sight
of him for dozen years or more, when 10! he
turns up trump card, as Post Master at New
Orleans He always was a loco-but still,
somehow or other, we always liked the fellow.
We wish him a long and prosperous career.

A counterfeit $50 note, on the Southern Bank
of Kentucky, was recently passed upon a mer-
chant at Harrodsburg, of the following descrip-
ton: The plate is fac simHie of the plate
used for $5,OO's, and the signatures are almost
perfect. In the genuine the title of the Bank
is in semi-circular form, and is above the
vignette, which latter is near the center of the
notes wilhelm the spurious, the title is below the
viguette; and in straight line. The plate is
evidently that of genuine five, altered to fifty.

Letters Of CrcdH-The London Times has a
report of case of some interest to travellers
abroad. An American gentleman bought for
cash q circular letter of credit from mercan-
tile firm in the city, addressed 70 their agents
on the continent, and this document authorized
the various houses to whom it was addressed to
honor his drafts. Shortly afterwards house
which had some disputed accounts with him
Iodged an ATTACHMENT With the London frm
on the funds which they had thus received for
the sale of the letter, upon The plea that the
transaction was simple deposit, and that the
money so attached still belonged to the person
who had paid it to them, and that the garnsh-
ees or issuers of the credit, incurred no re-
sponsibility until they came under acceptance.
The jury found that the money passed absolutely
to the garnisbees in exchange for their credit;
that simultaneously ceased to be the defendants,
and consequently was not attachable.

EEP From the above it will be seen that Maj.
BROWN declines being a candidate. We have
conversed with number of Wings from all
parts of the county, and all agree that JoHN a.
PATToN, Esq, is the strongest man that the
Wings can run. Knowing him to be worthy of
the position, we place his name at the head of
our paper as the Wing candidate to represent
this county in the next Legislature. The local
issue which SO recently threatened to dsorganise
parties in this county has been disposed Of and
will not enter into the approaching canvass at
all. The Wings viii therefore be united to a
man in support of Mr.. Patton. His selection is
therefore certain, as the Wings have good
working majority in the county.

RSy~ The elections of Governor, representa-
tives TO Congress and to the State Legislature,
are becoming subjects of general interest
Each party has its candidate for Governor in the
field. In the person of Maj. HENRY the Wings
have a leader in whom they may well feel proud.
He is empbatically the man of their choice.
His nomination was desired by almost every
Wing in the state. They will raIy,to his sup
mort with an enthusiasm that will insure histri-
umphant election. The people of East Tennes-
see remember the noble stand he took in favor
Of cur Railroads; and the Wings of the State
will not forget how long and how gallaDtly his
eloquent voice has been heard in the defence of
their cherished principles.
The wings have only to do their duty to in
sure success. Let us not falter upon "side is
sues or local questions! The WHIG PARTY
OF TENNESSEE has an important part to act If
successful it is plain that it is to be the nucleus
around which the honest, conservative masses
will rally, and soon become the dominant party
in the Unionl The tide of public sentiment is
turning in that direction. The love Of many for
the Administration is already beginning to wax
cold. The union democracy have had to staird
back and see the offices of the country filled
with secessionists, abolitionsts, and the fag
ends of every faction in the country. Even the
notorious John A. Dix, one of the vilest aboh
tionists in the Union, has been appointed Min
lister to France, while such men as Nicholson

Col. IrURBIDE reached Washington on Satur.
day morning. He is the bearer of the treaty
neutrality-suspicious. by Judge CoNkLrSG with the
Mexican authorities, on the subject of the
Tehuantepec communication, in connection
with what is known here as the SLoo grant.
The Washington correspondent of the N Y:
Herald, says:
There is good deal of secrecy attempted I'd
be thrown around the treaty both in Mexico
and here; but am informed, from a source
having ample opportunities of knowing, that
the following is correct synopsis document
First-The persons employed, and the prop
erty invested, to be protected by both govern
ments, so that the transit of passengers, and
everything else, shall be open and free at all
times, and the property invested therein secure.
Sccond-Every part of the way Of commu-
nication shalt be neutral, under the guarantee
OF both governments, during the fifty years of
the contract.
n Third-Me1ico is to impose no regulations
to cause delay.
Fourth-Both governments are to prevent the
company from imposing onerous rates of feight.
Fifth-The subject of transportation of Uni
ted States troops or munitions of war is to be
arranged by separate convention.
Sixth-No passports or letters of security are
required by passengers.
Seventh-All questions that cannot be set
tied by the two governments between themselves
are to be submitted to the arbitration of a fren.
dly government. If not settled within a year,
the United States may withdraw its guarantees
of neutrality if it thinks fit.
By comparing this synopsis of the treaty with
the Sloo grant many important discrepancies
will be discovered, making the treaty much,
more liberal than the grant. The hberality,
however, can in all probability, be explained
away; when occasion requires, by diplomatic
bubbles:
: A Spanish copy Of the treaty has been rceiv-
ed in town but its authenticity is doubted.
cannot even vouch for the entire correctness Of
the synopsis given above sr
The associates of Sloo in this county do not
deny that the money paid on the grant was
raised by Mr.. Falconnette, the agent of the
British boundries.-C Char Courier.

Below viii be found a letter from DIR. James
W. Gillespie, inreply to the committee appoin-
ted By the Convention recently assembled at this
place, to notify him of his nomination as the
wing candidate for Congress in the Sd District
1t will be seen that DR.. Gillespie declines the
nomination. We were apprised of the disincii-
nation which he always had to entering into
public life and mingling in the turmoil and strife
of party politics. yet we INDUCED the belief in
common with his friends generally, that he
would yield his own wishes, and consent to take
the race. As much aswe know DIR. Gillespie
would like to crafty his friends in this respect,
1t seems he cannot do so without violation of
other and higher duties. The reasons which
have influenced his determination to decline,are
not only satisfactory and conclusive, but such as
no honorable man could disregard. The duty
is, therefore, devolved upon the wings of the
district to make another selection, about which
there can be no difficulty while the party has SO
many talented and worthy gentlemen belonging
to its ranks.
1t is right and proper for US to state that the
reason why DR.. Gilespie's reply has not appear
ed sooner is, it was held up at the suggestion of
our self and other friends.

Blu to Percent the Sale Of Quaek Medicines.
"A special committee of the Massachusetts,
House has reported bill regulating the com
pounding and selling of medicines. The first
section provides that no druggist, apothecary, or
persons engaged in manufacturing medicines
or compounds to be administered as midicine-
except such as are published in standard works
of chemistry, materia medica, or pharmacobeia
shall offer the same for sale in any way until he
has filed complete recipe in English, sworn to
before legal authority constituted for such
purpose. The remaining. sections of the bill
secure by penalties the operation of the first,
and direct that the recipe of the practieing
physician temporarily given shall not be inelu-
ded in the action of the bill. Thus the compo-
nents of all patent medicines will be made pub
lie, and the community be enabled to reject
quack nostrums, while truly valuable discove-
RES will become common property.

pressed with the honor thus rendered, and
have lively sense of gratitude to my friends
for this additional evidence of their partiahty
and Kindness, and however much | might under
other circumstances desire to yieldto their wish
es, j, am compelled, for reasons and considern-
tions which could be of but little interest to the
public yet are paramount with me, to decline
the honor thus voluntarially offered. l have
never at any time been a seeker Of political hon,
ors, and the little extent to which have min
ged in public life has been at the socita-
tons of my friends and not from any special de-
sire or ambition of my own In making known
carrying out an often expressed purpose not to

are other gentlemen in the District better quail
fled to discharge the duties of the position and
meet the expectations of fhe party.

esteem and believing they viii have no difficult

standard-b bearer in the Congressional contest, l
have to request of you, gentlemen, that you will
