That Letter Of the President of the Bank of Ten
nessee-Banking and Politics" Sam /" in Mont
gomery.
Correspondence of the Nashville True Wing.


GAINESVILLE, July IA, 1855.
Mr.. FDIroR: observe in the Union and Aneri
can that the Hon. Cave johnson has been sus.
pected of being an american" and he is out in
long harangue informing the people of Tennessee
and 'the rest Of mankind, that he saint no such
thing" Well, now, this looks funny to me; and
cannot think there is man in Stewart county, or
in the State Of Tennessee, that ever for moment
suspected the old gentleman OF being an "Amer
ican." Sure we here in Montgomery did not. But
we did suspect few weeks since, about the time
he made visit to this county, ION the business of
the Bank and to see his old friends, we presume,)
that the Honorable President of the Bank OF Ten
nessee was little uneasy about the foot prints that
Sam was making here, mot that he cared for two
thousand dollars per annum,) and perhaps he
thinks he can give Andy lick ahead by abusing
the Americans, aud calling somebody "knavish and
unprncipled political hucksters, who are regardless
of honor, honesty and TRUTH" and debating to the
people of Tennessee that they should vote for his
''White Basis" Jacobs Ladder" "Converging
Lines, Agraran Progressive Democratic anti Amer.
lean candidate for Governor. l had thought the
Honorable President had learned better in the last
Presidential election than try this; when he went
in person, on the day of election, to certain dis
trict in this county which had always been largely
Democratic, to tell the good people how they should
vote, and strange to say, that day the vote was
almost even, and l believe a small majority for
Scott
Banking and politics seem to work well together
just now. The President of the Bank of Tennes-
see at this place-by the way, very clever gen.
teman, and formerly partner of the Hon. Nash.
vile President in the practice of the law-has very
recently declared himself candidate for the Senate
in this district on the anti.Amercan tickets re-
ceiving his salary as President and at the same
time canvassing the district without any hope of
election; praying Sans to desert him and vote
for Andy johnson, who has said they were no bet
ter than Mfrrel men. Wonder if the Hon. Nash
vile President had any thing do with this move?
/ notice that the anti. American ticket in your
county for the lower house wants a name TO make
it complete. / move that the Union fill the blank
with the name Of the Hon. Cave johnson, President
of the Bank Of Tennessee, ex-M. c. and Ell. p. ~
G., and that he be requested to take the stump
and try, if possible, to save Andy. lie ought to
put round in Andy's Ladder, if he can, for the
grave question may arise, "Whas ought to be done
with the Bank of Tennessee?"
Alright in this county. We are gaining daily,
and will, think, until the election. have not
seen much excitement and deep,felt interest in
any canvass since 1910.
Yours, ever, SAM.

pleasure 10 strong language, but not with an OATH
While ameinber of Gen. Thos. Pinckney's militia
tary family in South Carolina, in 1872 / heard
his brother Gen c. G. Pinckney, frequently
mention conversations with Gen. Washing
ton. He said that be was habtually grave in dis
course cautious in expression slow and accurate
10 judgement but with intimate friends easy, though
rarely jocose. Now Gen. c. c. Pinkney was re-
markbe for righteousness and bumor, and at the
table of his brother was fond Of conversing with
young men: neither of these brothers believed the
story of Washington swearing at Lee. Attne
meeting Of Washington and Lee, the language OF
the former would be more to undo the evil then
In progress than to expend words on Lee. 1t IS
fair to conclude that Washington's mind, so well
known for GOODNESS in battle, would be far more en-
gagged in restoring the order of the day in the
pursuit of the enemy than in applying epIthets to
Lee.
At the battle of Brandywine, where Washington
had many trials of patience and disastrous day,
no words unbecoming his position were then re-
membered; and though assailed by caba in and
out of Congress. for not winning that day, no un-
becoming word or action was then attributed to
him. When Stuart was portraying Washington at
Mount Vernon. the servant had been told to main
thin fire all night in the studio de failed in bis
duty. When the General came in and observed
the failure Stuart said Ibis countenance FELL" Stu
art began to excuse the servant, but the General
SAID SteTflty, 'Mr stuart NY eti'ahtS hHOW tnat
obedience" We have here ntem OF the tone OF ex-
pect Washingtons mind in every day life With Gen.
Cobb, Col. Humphres, Major Bayles, and Col.
Trumbu, all of the military family OF Washing
ton, had the acquaintance which subaltern may
have with aged superiors. Of them asked of their
intercourse with Washington and, though it may be
presumed that such persons would not recount
small defects which, if existing they may have OBJ.
served, still learnt from them many interesting
facts of intercourse in camp, and generally that,
with kind feeling for all dependent upon him, he
was some times vehement in language to delin.
quents but ever just. Indeed, from those great
men who have the natural gift of command, and
who possess strong wills. are not to expect uni
form flow of equanimity. have no doubt that when
the occasion made it proper Washing tondenounced
delinquent in the field with an awful severity,
but not with profanity. The first and third articles
of war of goth September, l776 commend Divine
respect and forbid profanity and it is not probable
that Washington would have set an example of
dsrepect to law the enactment Of which be had
himself counseed.
