Is 1T TRUEl

Rumor ssys that General DUFF GREENE,
whose name some Of our earlier readers may
remember, lately made speech at Jackson
vile, Ala, advocating the building of the
Gadsden and Dalton Railroad, and in which
he told the audience then and there assem-
bled that he would subscribe three hundred
thousand dollars to said road out of the
amount "to be- recovered from the East Ten
nessee and Georgia JRailroad Company, for
damages alleged to have been sustained in
surrendering his contract because of his ac-
knowledged inability to comply with its stip-
ulations and provisions, solemnly covenanted
and agreed upon. We disclaim any feelings
other than those of the kindliest character
towards Gen. Greene, but we must protest
against his attempt to humbug the friends OF
the Dalton and Gadsden Railroad with any
such stuff. He has no claim founded in JUS
tice upon the East Tennessee and Georgia
Company. He was fully, amply, doublv re-
munerated for all the services rendered and
work done, and it is worse than idle, the verlest
nonsense, to talk about means to be raised on
such groundess claim as he has set up
We fee! good deal of interest in the Dali
ton and Gadsden Railroad-the enterprise we
regard as very important one, to this sec
ton and interests in this direction, as well as
the immediate country through which the
route is located, and we hops,it will be built.
But we know how difficult ftwas to sustain
Gen. Greene while contractor on the East
Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, and if he
becomes prominently associated with the en-
terprise in question, we confidently predict
its failure. He always fails-though man
of undoubted talents and untiring industry,
yet every thing he touches fails-he has more
of the elements of failure about him than an Y
gentleman we ever met with. His friendship
has proved alike hurtful to public enterprises
and public men, and we should regret very
much to learn that he had obtained con-
trolling position and influence in an enter
prise in which so many interests are involved.
But We hope our information is incorrect
the General is an old man, with the frosts of
many winters resting upon his brow, and We
trust he is engaged in more appropriate
work than trying to humbug the friends of
the Gadsden and Dalton Railroad into the
belief of his ability to take three hundred
thousand dollars in stock in their enterprise,
based on groundless and trumpcd up claim
for damages against the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad Company.

DREADFUL MURDER IN MIssIssIPPI.-W. A.
Kollingsworth, a prominent citizen of Jeffer-
son county, Miss, was brutally murdered on
the Goth ult. 1t appears his servants were
awakened in the night and discovered the
house on fire. They rushed into his room
and found him dead in bed, with his children
asleep by his side, drenched in his blood
The children and the body of the father were
conveyed to the yard, and in few minutes
the house was reduced to ashes. Ten wounds,
inflicted with n Ratchet, were found on the
head of the unfortunate man. 1t is supposed
the foul deed was committed by one of three
runaway slnYes.

The BANKs.-A report is obtaining cur
rency that the Banking Institutions of the
State are about to pitch in to general fight
in other words, that the Stock Banks arc
about to commence war of determination
against the Free Banks, and uics versa. We
do not know what foundation there is for the
report, but such policy would be so mani.

ly impair confidence in their sOundness and
safety-it is to be hoped it is incorrect; or if
such suicidal policy has been determined
upon, il will at once be abandoned. The
signs at present indicate the approach of a
partial revulsion at least in monetary affairs,
and if the banks, instead of accommodating,
strengthening and fortifying each other and
their customers, commence warfare among
themselves, they may succeed in getting up
storm which but few of them will be able to
survive. We trust, however, there is no
foundation for the report alluded to.

CARDs.-We received last week Card
from DR.. Hurley, of Loudon, on the subject
Of the disease recently existing at that place,
and since, another, from the pen ofDr. Frank
A. Ramsey, on the same subject. The length
Of these communications preclude their ap-
pearance in our columns; and if such was
not the case, We do not see that any good
is likely to ensue from the perpetuation of a
discussion. one side of which, at least, has
been imprudent from the first. Happily the
cause which gave rise to it, whatever may
have been its type and character, has ceased

confident he is honest and sincere in The po-
sitions he has taken; that he had no profess
sional pride to crafty, and was actuated sole
ly by a desire TO prevent misapprehension and
stop the spread of panic and alarm. He long
since acquired an envabe character as ply
stefan, and which cannot be impaired by any
low personalities that have been or may be
directed at him by anonymous and sheltered
scribblers. Dr. Hurley, whom VIC regard as
man of ability and skill and gentleman,
doubtless is no less honest and sincere in his
convictions; and as there is no Likelihood that
any good can arise from n continued discus.
sion and agitation, both will excuse us for
the suggestion that the matter be allowed to
stop at what it is at. It is not meet that
physicians of their character should be en-.
gagged in such work. If other parties wish
to keep it up, with them be it; their efforts
cannot result in much harm, as insignifcance
may cry aloud in the streets until it is as
hoarse as n polar frog, and no one will heed

THE UNIoN.-We have no fears that this
Union will ever be dissolved, that our sys.
TEN of free government will ever be Destroy
ed. But in view of the agitations which are
continually going on, and the efforts making
. MI So,
too often recur to the memory and advice of
the men who framed the one and bcqueathed
us the other--the richest legacy ever left
people. In this sentiment the following,
from James Madison, should be kept con-
stantly in view:
Adrice to My Country--As this, if it ever
see the light, will not do SO till am no
more, it may be considered as issuing from
the tomb, where truth alone can be respect
ed, and the happiness of man alone consult
ed. 1t will be entitled, therefore, to what.
ever weight can he derived from good nten-
tons, and from the experience of man who
has served his country in various stations
through period of forty years; who espous.
ed in his youth, and adhered through his life
to the cause Of liberty; and who has borne a
part in most of the great transactions which
will constitute epochs of its destiny.
The advice nearest my heart and deepest
in my convictions is, that the Union of the
States BIO cherished and pe.petuated. Let the
open enemy to il be regarded as Pandora
with her box opened; and the disguised one
as the serpent creeping with its deadly wiles
into Paradise"

KNOXVILLE AND IT'S ENvIRoNs.

Having recently spent few days at the
Commercial Emporium" we intended saying
something in regard to its growth, bu-
siness, manufactures, &e.--its present and
probable future. But as the profane man
said, when he arrived at the top Of the hill
and found his cart empty, ats no use trying
we can't do justice to the subject" We
will barely remark that its streets present a
very different appearance to what they did
six years ago-that in that time the popula-
ton has nearly doubled-that large num-
Der Of good substantial, and in some in
stances, very handsome buildings have been
erected-tbat they have now in successful
operation machine and car shops, foundries,
Touring mills, and large and prosperous ac-
tivity in every branch Of industry. For the
present, we can safely say Knoxville is in a
healthy and furnishing condition. As to its
future, no one eau form any conception of it
unless they will 60 thee and listen to the
conversation and talk Of those Of the leading
citizens who are giving the subject their earn
est attention and best efforts. Candidly. how
ever, we see nothing to prevent the rapid
growth of Rockville to Il population of some
seven or eight thousand inhabitants, but the
enormous prices asked bV holders of town
lots. The policy is entirely mistaken one
the high prices keep off and drive back the
men of small means, the mechanic ard the
artisan-the sort Of men without whom no
town or city ever yet fiourished and prosper
ed. Wealthy pabobs, pampered spectators,
and bloated arstocrats, are not the men who
build cities and towns-they are the drones
and cocmorants, ever proving upon and eat
ing out the heart and substance Of the CON-
munity-rever adding TO, boz always taking
from the aggregate produced bv the hard
wrought efforts of the enterprising, thrifty,
and industrious. While property is held at
such prices that none bat the wealthy, who
are comparatively few, can afford to Purchase,
every one must see that the growth and
prosperity of The town is seriously retarded,
if nothing worse follows. We know that
this sort of talk does moi conport at all with
the views of property holders at Knoxville
and other towns, but it is The plain, honest
