Hon. G. ". Jones.

During the eight years which the
Hon. G. W. Jones has served in the
Congress Of the United States, his
ability and steadEast devotion to the
public interest, have steadily pointed
him out as one worthy the confidence
not only of his immediate constitu-
eney, but Of the whole country. A
of clear and polished judgment,
sound and discriminating mind, with
probity in carrying out his purposes,
he serves his country as patriot
rather than a politician.
1t is is true, it has-so happened
that we have found it necessary to
differ from Mr.. Jones in some partic-
ulars connected with his public career;
We have thought different course,
perhaps, would have bee "a as we'll
These differences, howey er, have not
been material not greater, it is
likely, than would have existed be-
tween almost any two Individuals
and not sufficient to diminish our
confidence in him as a statesman.
And We venture the opinion that
there is not a member in the lower
House Of Congress, Who, this day,
enjoys greater shar Of The conf
dence of his constituents, than does
G. " Jones. Honesty, fidelity and
ability are awarded him, even by
many Of his bitterest opponents. 1t
will prove matter of no astonish-
ment TO those who know him best,
to learn that his name is spoken of
in connection with the Speakership
of the House of Representatives.
as has heretofore repeatedly been
done, All, however, will feel more
or less pride at the announcement,
that the probabilities clearly indi-
cate that he will be called to fill that
chair next fall In evidence of this.
We ask the readers attention to a
communication in another column
BY the Philadelphia Ledger's cor
respondent. The deservedly high /
paid Mr.. Jones by this
oaper, is of NO ordinary Character
nd one only enjoyed by those pos.
essed of sterling worth and ability,

PQuTIcAL WoRK FOR TENNESSEE IN
I853.-A restoration of the COM
monwealth of a jackson and a Poll
to her primitive purity, in all the
essentials of democratic admins
tration of her governmental affairs:
q democratic Governor, a democratic
majority in both branches Of her
Legislature, her usual, if possible, de-
mocratic delegation in Congress,
elected next August by the sove-
reign people of the State, in despite
of the forlorn Scottites. Now, can
all this be done? We believe it can.
1.-The sober second thought" of the
people will accomplish it Indeed,
We may say, if permitted TO exercise
their own judgment, the people can
not fail to approve Of democratic
rule-their interests would prompt
them to do this. Then our conf
dence in their intelligence and firm
ness, constrains us to believe the
State of Tennessee will be redeemed
on the 18th of August next. God

elected Governor of the State by a

Banks in the United States

By tabular statement in the money art-I

there existed in l852-940 banks in the
United States, with an aggregate capital of

shows that after all, there has not been such
an enormous expansion as is generally sup
posed. 1t shows that in 1852 the line of
discounts was less than in 1886. sixteen
years before. That capital and circulation
were larger, but by no means so large as
they should have been in view of the i'm.
mense increase in the commercial OPERA
tons OF the country, our increase ia popula-
ton and the great addition to the amount
OF property created within that period. On
the other band, the expansion in private
credits has been very great, which is not
shown by bank returns. The metallic cur

IN volume, and the circulating medium is
much more valuable than it used TO be-

CHAPTER l.
TIE EMIGRATION,


1t was on the third morningin September,
in theyear 1851, that the wild amt sparsly
settled forests of Ohio, gave echo to the
voices of another band Of adventurers. This
family was known by the name of Irvine,
and migrated thither probebly, with the
great object of all, to recruit their fortunes.
Then the country was indeed the home
of the wild beast and the rrowling: ground
Of the savage. The Engine Of civilization
had not then commenced to make inroads
upon the forest, for her votaries were far
too few and weak, to vie with the powerful
holds and strong battlements of the savages'
dominion Then no hand had felled the
sturdy oak or dofed the wild and rugged
garb Of nature, and enrolled her in the ha-
biliments of civilization and christianity
then no cities lowered up their stately and
glittering spires, or noised the air with the
rafting Of machinery, and blacked its clear
ness with the sable volumes Of smoke from
the massive chimney of the furnace, and
then no church bell pealed forth its silyery
tones upon the distant vista; OF mechanics
hammer lent dingIing beauty to the village
scenery. No; our ancestors found it diff
felent from the present, They found it ih-
deed the haunt Of Perfdy--the very nucle.
us Of every danger. But behold how
changed! In the lair Of the wolf, they OBJ
tanned a resting, place and home for us. and
in the thick and mazy forest, they found a
place for the peaceful village, and the bust
ling and busy marts of the city. Where
the yells Of the savage and the howls Of the
forest denizens, once united in fearful clamor,
now the mathis Of peace and christianity
vibrate with music, and where were once
the wild and horrifc orgies Of the red-man
of barbarity, the hand Of refinement has
now moulded arbors of sweet and quietre-
treat. 1t7 } +sAs

might wish; for she well knew that so heavy

edly cause him much distress and anxiety.
Arrangements were aCcordingl gly made,
and in the fall Of 1881, My. Irvine and his
family, left their comfortable home--the
chronicle to them Of 50 much happiness,
strangely blended with so much sorrow, OF
atfluence and adversity--and with little
band of missionaries, started for the wild
Far West.

THE HARVEST HYMN.

God Of the rolling year! to Thee
Our songs shall rise-whose bounty pour's
In many good gift, with free
And liberal hand our autumn stores;
No firstlings Of our stock we slay,
No soaring clouds of incense raise
but on thy followed shrine we lay
Our grateful hearts in sacrifice.
Borne on thy breath, the lap offspring,
Was heape with many blooming flower;
And smiling Summer ioyed to bring
The sunshine aud the gentle shower,
The Autmn's rich luxuriance now,
The ripening seed---the bursting she'll,
The golden sheaf, and laden bough,
The fullness Of thy bounty tell.
No menial throng, in prlncely dome,
Here wait a titled lords behesE,
But many fair and peaceful home
Hath won thy peaceful dove guest,
No groves of palm our fields adorn-
No myrtle shsdGs or orange bowers
BIZ, rus Ting meadsof golden corn
And fields of waving grain are ours.
Safe is thy care the landscape DER,
Our hocks and herds securely stray,
No tyrant master claims our store
Noruthless robber rends away,
No fierce volcanoes whitening shower
No fell simon with poisonous breath
Nor burning SUMS, with paleful plwer,
Awake the fiery plauge Of death.
And here shall rise our song to Thee
Where lengthend wales D pastures lie,
And streams go singiD. Wild and free,

Where ns'er was reared mortal throne,
Where crowned oppressors never trod,

shown The necessitp Of renewed vigilance
to secure our farmers and others from such
dePredations. To catch the thief and reeov-
er the property is the surest preventative
against repetition. of the crime. A horse

THE GRAVE.

Why should the good go thcrei
'lis cold and dark abode.
For the holy men Of praise and prayer,
Who have dwelt so long in the pleasant air
And sunshine Of their God.
Why go the learned and wise
10 abuse SO close and damp'
They can case not there at the mystic skies,
Nor watch the stars as they fall and rise.
Nor read by the midnight lamp.
Why go the rich and gay
TO hut, go mean and smalll
No chance is there for proud display;
There is scarcely room in the walls OF clay
For the lusty worms to crawi
But for him who is struggling on
In wild ambtions race,
Who feels that the goal cannot be won
That his spirits droop and his strengths gone,
'Tis quiet resting place.
As for him who is weary grown,
Ola world that loves him not,
Whosejoys have vanished and hopes have flown
Whose only wish is to be alone,
Indeed, Ills an enved spot! ...
