THE AGRICULTURAL BASK.-The Memphis
Eagle and Enquirer the other day said this
bank charter had been sold TO Chicago men,
and intimatod that its issues were not the
most reliable in the world. This statement
elected the following facts from an entirely re-
liable source:
The charter for this Bank was not obtained from
the Legislature by gentlemen residing In our
midst but At the instance of Mr.. Rodgers, then
Senator from Haywood county, in which the Bank Is
located He introduced the bill 10 the Senate as al
amendment to the Shelbyville Bank, and both pass

this the stock taken by citizens OF this place,
and finally transferred 80 parties in Chicago These
parties our informant kaOws 20 be honest capable
and emnenty responsible for be has taken pains to
ascertain the truth. There are prominent citizens
in this place Who know such TO be the fact. The
Bank Is now in successful operation, under the con.
troll aud management not Of Chicago influence,
but of a directory composed OF as respectable re.
liable men as live in HAywOod county. Our infor
nant believes the Agricultural Bank 20 be a. safe
and a. well and faithfully managed, as any Bank

The Herald says :

RAGUA.-The National IntelHgencer learns that the
Government has received important dispatches re
lative to the imprisonment or detention of Mr.
Wheeler, the United States Charge d'Afaires, al
Rvas, Nicaragua, and to the outrage committed al
Virgin Bay upon some of the California passengers
on an American steamer. 1t is rumored that the
dispatches are of such nature to require prompt
and serious attention 1t it said, indeed, and the
rumor has the air OF probability, that the Admins
tration has already ordered Commodore Paulding
to proceed to Nicaragua in ship.of war; with special
instructions oinqure into the circumstances attend
ing these outrages.

Railroad 70 Lahanon.

We learn from the Herald that large and re-
spectacle meeting of the citizens of Wilson county,
principally farmers, was held at the Courthouse in
Lebanon on the 5th, to consult upon the propriety
of building Railroad to Nashville or some other
point where it would intersect leading road. Gen.
Anderson took the stand and explained the object
of the meeting: after which, DR.. James D. White
called to the Chair, and w z. Neal appointed
Secretary.
In response to pressing invitation, Judge r. l..
Caruthers appeared and addressed the meeting for
hour in an able and eloquent manner, advocating
the construction Of the road and demonstrating its
feasibility. He was followed by Gen. Anderson,
who also strongly advocated the project.
Subsequently, on motion, the Chairman was
authorized to appoint Committee of five to take
the necessary steps to procure from the present
Legislature Charter for the Road, SC. The Chair
appointed the following: VIM. B. Campbell, P.
Anderson, W. D. Smith, j. w. Allen, and II. D.
Lester. On motion, the name of the Chairman was
added to the above Committee. The Chairman was
authorized to fill any vsncancies in the Committee
that might occur.
The Herald says:
The meeting then adiourned in fine spirits.

taken in the right direction. We hope 1t will be
followed by others until the blue curling smoke and
the snrill whistle of the Steamcar shall be and

tant markets the rich and varied products of our
thrice glorius old county.

Administration Interference in Elections.


The Washington Organ has on several occa'
sions charged that the Administration had
levied upon the clerks, messengers, and EN-
ployees of the Government at Washington, O
contribution in money for the purpose OF inhu-
encing the elections in Maryland and other
States. The charge was made in such terms
and with such specifications as to indicate very
plainly that it was made Understandings, and
to leave no alternative but denial or admis-
sion. The Washington Union frankly admits
it, and says, with the utmost sang JrOid, that
it "sees no grievous harm in all this matter.
And this beautiful specimen of an organ of q
National {! } party, further says that
"There is scarcely a town or a township in
this wide Union in which men are not to be
found Of this character.
OF what character OF the character of
Peter G. Washington, Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, of whom the Union thus speaks /:
ave therefore heartily commend Mr.. Wash
ington, of the Treasury Department, for his
activity and energy in the contribution alluded
TO, and we hope the good example may be fol-
lowed throughout the Union.
In view of the expression Of such sentiments
as these, from such a source, the Organ peril
nently asks: To what are we coming? The
authorized exponent of the Administration
commends high functiOnary for his activity
and energy" in devsing plans to control a To-
cal State election, and for forcing the subordi-
mates of the Treasury Department to contrib
ute to q fund, for the avowed purpose of aid
ing the Democratic cause in the city of Balti
more. b"
Executive oppression and extortion are COM
mended by the Administration, and Peter e.
Washington, the instrument and tool whose
energies and activity have been devoted to this
service is defended from the "indignant as
sauts of the Know Nothings, and fattered,
commended, and even held up to the whole
country as a fit example for all honest men to
follow. And, says the Union, /" there is scarce
ly town or township in this wide Union in
which men are not to be found of that chsrac-
ter. We really had hoped that there was but
one Peter G. Washington, and that one was the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. We had
no idea that this man was the type or repre-
sentative of a class of people in our country,
but that he was homo per Sc. Little did we
think that there existed an organized gang to
extort money from subordinates for the pur
pose Of aiding the Democratic cause, and
that the head Of that gang was q Government
official But this is not ALL Besides the praise
and adulation lavished upon Linn, the reward
has been meted out according to a just estimate
of the value of such services. The brother of
this official has been appointed to q position in
the San Francisco Custom House, the salary
and emoluments of which are reported to
amount to $4,000. Thus is competency and
fitness for office estimated by this Administra-
ton, and thus is the power, influence and pat
ronage of the leading official arbitrarily abused
for the purpose of controlling the votes of
American citizensl

Advantages of Railroads.

A writer in the Columbia Mirror, of Thurs
day last, demonstrates the Importance of Rail-
roads in fscts and figures presented in an un-
answersbe shape. Calculating the immediate
effect upon the Wheat, Cotton, Corn and Bacon
crop, both in the increased price and the saving
of time in getting it to market, and the saving
in travelling expenses, be makes an aggregate
gain to Maury county, in one year, of $l47, $50,
an amount that would pay the tax necessary
to build the road in little over two years.
The following is a recapitulaton

their platform was essentially freesoil and sec

by all the official power and influence of the
