week, over which Mr.. P. Dickinson, of the firm
of Cowan & Dickinson, presided, which unani,
mously adopted the following resolution offered
by Mr., Mathew Nelson, which we find in the
Knoxville papers.
Resolred, That having with pleasure seen an
announcement in the city papers from the Direc-
tors of the Bank of East Tennessee, that not
withstandng continued run upon the institu-
ton for the past five weeks, the Bank has paid
every dollar presented, and is ready to pay the
last dollar of her liabilities in whatever shape it
may come, we feel, as citizens of the place,
bound to state to the public that We have entire
confidence in the integrity of the board, and in
any statement they may make, and that from
the known ability and integrity of those owning
a majority of the stock, residents among us, we
will without hesitation, take the notes of the
Bank and circulate them as other currency.

The Whig State Convention met in the Rep
resentatives Hall yesterday, and nominated
Gustavus A. Henry for Governor. Nashville
Gazette Of Tuesday.
From the above announcement it will be seen
that the peoples favorite, glorious old Gus
HENRY, is the whig candidate for Governor Of
Tennessee at the approaching election. The
convention could not have selected man more
acceptable to the people. No man in the State
has stronger hold upon the affections of the
masses. Gifted with inspiring eloquence, en-.
nobled by the purest aspirations, pre-emincnt
as statesman of enlarged and enlightened
views his most efficient services have never
been withheld from his party nor his country.
he has canvassed the entire State several times
but in the hour of party success as in defeat, he
returned to his home, nor has he ever put up
any claim for the distinguished seryices he has
performed.
The wings may well feel proud of such a
champion. Every generous feeling demands
of the whg party to rally to his support with a
zeal that will insure his success. Who will hes
itate to honor such a man? Rather let every
Wing buckle on his armor. Our adversares
boast of twenty-seven states overrun and con-
quered to their sway. With high hopes of GER
tain victory they now look to Tennessee. The
patronage of the national Executive has been
hurled against us and Wing heads have fla
len thick and fast.
With majority of two to one in the national
legislature against us-an Executive welding
the tremendous power of public patronage with
unrelenting proscription-we acknowledge the
prospects of the great WIG PARTY are for the
present shrouded in gloom. But We can look
back to period in the great struggle for Amer
lean liberty and independence when the victo-
rious legions of Britain were turned back from
a conquest more complete, by the prowess and
patriotism of Tennessee! The period to which
we allude, was when the proud Clinton and Corn
wallis invaded our Southern coast, and after
conquering army after army until not single
regiment could be found to dispute with them
for the dominion Of the sunny south, they vainly
imagined their work of subjugation to British
tyranny complete. But the hardy pioneers of
Watauga, Nolicucky and Holston settlements,
gathered up their strength, and inviting their
no less intriped neighbors from Abingdon,
marched against the victorious enemy, and at
the well-fought battle of Kings Mountain turn
ed the tide of victory in favor of the American
arms,-the first step in the capture of Cornwall
lis, which ended the war shortly afterwards.

E9- 1t offords us much pleasure to be able
to announce that a company has been formed
to go into the manufacture of Iron at this point.
The necessary Machinery will be ordered at
once, and the most energetic measures taken to
erect the necessary buildings, so that in the
course ofsix or eight months we may expect to
have an Iron Rolling Mill in full blast! This
will add to the prosperity of our Aourishing town
and open the way for other branches of Manu-
factories. We could,name number of enter
prises which might be made profitable at this
point both to capitalists and to the community
at large. Possessing the advantages both of
the River and Railroad and in the midst of
good farming country, provisions could always
be had at fair prices and in abundance. So that
very nearly any kind Of manufactures would do
well here.

EI Our Chattanooga friends seem to be in
a quandary in regard to The subscription of one
hundred thousand dollars to the Wills Valley
Railroad. The City Council passed an ordi-
nance empowering Judge Porter, the President
OF the Road, to act as proxy in locating the
Road. Some of the citizens objected to this,
on the ground that such acknowledgement of
holding stock in the Road, would bind the cor
poration without having sufficient guards to in
sure the object contemplated in the original Or
dinance making the subscription. The Gazette
thinks the Board will reconsider the vote en-.
towering the Judge to act as proxy, and decline
any representation in the Convention of Stock
holders to locate the Road, which meets Friday
the 29th, to-day at Portcrsville, Ala.

DGF% The Cincinnati Price Current, of the
Goth, says that in New York, money matters
continue to improve. The Tribune of Satur-
day, says money on call was decidedly abun-

the late heavy decline in the faucies, both have

experiment on the new ingots as medium of

of bills, which were abundant at l093CGl09S
for first class. About 10000 bales Cotton
have been sold here since yesterday morning,
in addition to the large operations at the South,
closing with an advance of 4(GS cent, on last

DEATH OF THE VICE PRESIDENT.

DEATH OF THE VICE PRESIDENT.
| The telegraph reports the death of Vice
President King. Mr.. King has for a third ola
century occupied front rank among the states
men of the country, and it has been his for
tune decided as he has been in his political
course to have conciliated the respect and es-
TEEN of all parties by his excellent and anna
BILE personal qualities The prominent position
which he has occupied before the country for
the last year has drawn public attraction to a
close examination of his character; and such
was its purity that even the bitterest partisan
malice dared not assail it.
The remarks of Mr.. Clayton, on lately ia
king his seat in the Senate, gave new inter
est in connection with the sad event. We copy
them:
Mr. Clayton said: In rising for the first time
after long absence, to address the Senate,
labor urfler some embarrassment from observ-
ing that the gentlemen around me are general
" strangers to me, and that not single indi-
vidual Of all my ancient associates who served
with me in this body twenty four years ago is
now present | am led back to the events of
period over which nearly quarter of cen
tury has spread its mantle when those who fill
ed this chamber as the representatives of the
sovereign States of this Union, mingled in dis
cassion on the great issues then before the
country and when the walls of this chamber
daily rung with the echoes of their voices as
they poured forth 'the logic and the wisdom
and the wit" for which they were so pre-emi-
nently distinguished. Their debates were but
justly compared to the procession of Roman
triumph, moving in dignity and order to the
lofty music of its march, and glittering all
over with the spOils of the civilized world
They are gone; and ], youngest and the hum
blest of their body, am left to tell the tale
The last of them who left this scene of their
strifes and contentious was the present Vice
President of the United States, the Hon.
Wm r. King who presided over the delbera,
tons of the Senate nearly twenty years with
unsurpassed ability and impartiality, and who,
during long period, occupied the post of chief
distinction here as the chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations
