AN INCIDENT OF THE REBELLION IN VENEzuE-
LA.-Our readers are aware that for month or
two past rebellion has been in progress in Vene-
zuela, nominal republic of South America 1t
= is now apparent, however, that like most South
American revolutions it is likely prove rather
bloodless affair. An incident related by gen
tleman Just arrived from that country will illus
trate this. At Valencia, small interior town.
about twenty of the inhabitants agreed to pro-
claim revolution, and they proceeded to take
possession of the barracks, which were defended
by an officer and eight government soldiers On
the approach of the rebels the officer attempted in
haste to mount his horse, but whether to fight or
run away will probably now remain mystery,
for in his hurry one ofhs pistols was accidentally
discharged, whereat the brave rebels incontnenty
took to their heels in all directions and the out
break was at an end, the government soldiers
sagely concluding that their opponents had run
away they would stay where they were. The up
shot was that eighteen of the rebels arrested
and are now in prison in Porto Cabello. The
government has also been successful in putting
down the outbreak in other places. They are
also organizing feet and have purchased yes
sci in Baltimore for man-ofwar, but the motive
of this letter proceeding is unknown All patriotic
Venezuelians have ceased to hope for better pros
poets for their unhappy country, at least for the
Present.-Bosfon Ifaueller.

WOMEN AND LApms.-In the days ofour fathers
there were such things to be met with men and
aconen-but now they all gone, and in their
place race Of gentlemen and ladies, Or to be still
refined, of 'sadies and gentlemen
has sprung up. Women and girls are among the
things that were. But ''lades'' are found every
where Miss Martineau, wishing to see the wo-
men wards in prison in Tennessee, was answered
by the warden: s'We have no ladies here at pres
ent, madam" Now, far as the ladies were
concerned, it was very well that none of them
were in prison; but then it sounds little odd
ladies in prison! 1t would seem bad enough for
acomen to 60 to such place.
A lecturer, discoursing upon the characteristics
of women, illustrated thus: "Who were the last
at the cross Ladies. Who were the first at the
sepulchre? Ladies'" On this modern improve
ment, we have heard of but one thing that beats
the above. 1t was the finishing touch to mar
rage ceremony, performed by an exquisite divine
up to all modern refinements. When he had
thrown the chain of Hymen around the happy
couple, he concluded by saying: 81 now pronounce
you husband and lady" The audience stuffed
their handkerchiefs into their mouths, and got out
of the room as quickly possible, to take breath.

MeNEY.-A very material change, say the
Cincinnati Price Current, of the 23d Feb, has
recently taken place in the money market thro'-
out the country-the demand for capital having
increased, until it has become fully equal to the
supply-and in New York rates of interest have
advanced within six weeks fully two per cent,
and the tendency is still in favor of the lender
This change, which was not looked for, is to be
attributed in some degree to the recent move
ments of the Bank of England; for it is a fact
that that institution exercises a powerful infu-
ence throughout the commercial world. In N.
York the resumption heavy shipments of Coin,
is apprehended, as exports of produce are falling
off, and there will most likely be demand
from the other side for the precious metal, to
supply the deficiency caused by the heavy de-
mand upon England for Australia. In the lat
ter country the Notes of the Bank of England,
were at the latest date at twenty-five per cent
discount.

road, sufficient of our stock can be sold at par
TO build and equip it.
A great and increasing interest is now felt by
the citizens of Charleston, Savannah and Au-
gusta, and also by the southern connecting rail-
road Companies, and by the people living upon
the line, in the projected road from Knoxville
to Danville, Kentucky. The construction OF
this places our road upon another most impor-
tant thoroughfare, to-wit: from Kentucky and
the Ohio to the south Atlantic seaboard, and
the interior of Georgia, Alabama, and South
Carolina. The initiatory steps have been taken
for the formation of Company, and survey
il TO be forthwith commenced. The length of
this road win not exceed l20 miles, and it is
probable the cost will fall within 100000. 1t
is thot that the public and private subscriptions
of the towns and counties along the line viii go
far toward raising this sum, and that the deficit
will be made up by Augusta, Charleston and
Savannah, and the Georgia and South Carolina
railroads-the immense accession of trade that
must follow upon the opening of so important a
road being the great inducement. Although
our Company is not at present able to lend much
tangible aid to this road, we should at least
give as much comfort as possible to its enter
prising projectors. That this road will have
advantages enabling it to defy competition with
any other road from Cincinnati, the Ohio river
and Kentucky, to the Southern Seaboard, is
clearly shown by the following tables of dis
tances from Cincinnati to Charleston and Savan-
nah, via Knoxville and via McMinnvile, the
only routes for accomplishing that object now
dividing public attention. The distances given
in the tables are taken from Mitchelrs Map and
other reliable sources.

El~ There seems to be a necessity for more
system and farther improvements at our Wharf
The inclined plain from the Railroad Depot to
the River is a good arrangement; but without
proper regulations it will be source of some
confusion, as it will draw so many Boats to that
point, that it will be inconvenient to take on or
discharge Freights. We would respectfully sug-
gest to our town authorities, the propriety of
establishing Landing for Flat Boats higher
up, where they might land, with the privilege
of dropping down so soon as they are ready to
make shipments on the Railroad. The Rail-
road Wharf is free to all-Steamers and Flat
Boats--having freights to the Road, and there
should be regulations to prevent empty Boats,
and Boats with freights not desiring shipment,
from monopOlising space intended for Boats that
have freights for the Road.
The trees and brush should be cut away from
the River bank all the way from the Ferry to the
Depot.

Ray~ The Wings Of Giles county, held meet
ing at Pulaski, on the Dist ult:, at which del
egates were appointed to the Wing State Con-
vention to nominate a candidate for Governor.
Among the resolutions adopted, was one instruc-
ting the Delegates from that county to vote for
Thomas a. r. Nelson, of Jonesborough, as their
first choice for Governor. A large number of
the people of Middle Tennessee, of both parties,
seem willing to have an East Tennessean for
Governor. There are several gentlemen in our
end of the State that we would like to see Gov
ernor-but these men can serve US better at
home in pushing forward the magnificent enter
prises that can alone give US political power,
and importance as a commercial and manutac-
turing people. The evil days of Indignation
meetings" are past, we hope forever. 1t is folly,
it is disreputable, it is mean, to be whining for
political favors, and to be contending for appro-
priations, with an everlasting whine. Let us
look for assistance and promotion, where alone
we have right to expect either-in our own
energies. Let US build Railroads, improve ag-
riculture, erect manufactures, and build up
schools.

Bay We learn from the Nashville Daily
Ne,cs, that the distinguished gentleman who
struck Billy Patterson, and of whom our readers
have often heard, passed through that city few
days since. Nothing remarkable in his person
al appearance, except that his left hand, sup
posed to be the one with which he inflicted the
unfortunate blow upon the person of Mr.. Pat
terson, is enormously large. 1t is said that he
has finally compromised the matter with the
family and friends of Mr.. P.
We did not see him, but understand that the
man who butted the Bull off the Bridge, passed
through our to,cn last week, en-route for Wash

DJT The Z. T. & G. Railroad has reduced the
freight on several articles during the past week,
and made other arrangements to accommodate
shippers. FreightS on Flour has been reduced
from SOC to Csc to Dalton. Oats, from 35c to
25c to Dalton. Bacon is shipped by the Car
load in Julk, with one free passenger to each
shipnent--the Road not being responsible for
any loss resulting from this manner of freight
ing. This Road has spared no pains to accom-
modate the public, and has already proved a
great blessing to East Tennessee. Hence, it is
now doing very nearly the entire business be-
tween the country above and the South. Rut
few Flat Boats pass by, while the Steamer Lou
don, comes in nearly every trip with full cargoes
of freight for the Road. This is encouraging,
and when we take into consideration the fact
that the cost, to the present Company, of con-
structing this Road has been remarkably light,
VIC will at once see that it will soon become a
source of profit to the Stockholders.
We subjoin the following statement of Pro-
duce, &C., received at the Loudon Depot, for
the week ending March 5th, as shown by the

THE HONDURAS QUEsTION.-It will, no doubt
be recollected by our readers, that in December
last, resolution was adopted by the Senate,
calling upon the President of the United States
for information in relation to the establishment
of new British Colony in North America; to
which resolution an answer was returned by the
President on the 3rd of January communicating
the letter of Mr.. Clayton to Mr.. Bulwer, of July
4th, 1850, together with declaration of Mr..
Bulwer, to the effect that the British Govern
ment did not understand the Treaty which was
then about to be ratified to include the British
settlement at Honduras or its dependencies; and
also another note from Mr.. Clayton stating that
British Honduras was not embraced in the Trea-
ty, and that the rights of no Central American
States were compromised in it, or by any part
of the negotiation.
Subsequently to the receipt of this informa-
ton, another resolution was adopted by the Sc
nate, directing its committee on Foreign Rela-
tions to report what measures should be taken
by the Senate in regard to the above mentioned
declaration and letter; which having been duly
considered by the committee, produced an ella
borate report on the subject, that was laid before
the Senate on Friday, by Mr.. Mason.
The conclusion at which the committee has
arrived, as shown by the resolution with which
the report concludes, fully exonerates Mr. Clay
ton from the charge preferred against him by
some of the newspapers of having assented to
a declaration nvaidating the treaty. The reso-
luton is as follows:
Resolred, AS the opinion of the committee,
that the declaration on the part of the British
government, and the reply thereto by the Secre-
tary of State, as preliminary to the exchange of
the ratification of the treaty concluded at Wash
ingtou between the governments of Great Bri-
tain and the United States, on the 10Th of April,
1850, imports nothing more than an admission
on the part of the two governments, or their
functionaries, at the time of such exchange, that
nothing contained in the treaty is to be consid-
cred as affecting the title of existing rights of
Great Britain to the English settlements in
Honduras bay, and consequently, in the opinion
of the committee. no measures are necessary
on the part of the Senate, to be taken, because
of such declaration and reply.
The report of the committee, however. argues
