Dear Sir In the Banner of yesterday
notice an address signed by SAy'L P. AMENT, in re-
lation to the officers of the Penitentsry, and tho
suppose you will not as Think you ought not to,
notice the same, yet it seems to me proper, as |
was present at the time when the Commissioners
left you for the Penitentiary that shonld state,
that II any such language in relation to Nashville
or DAVIDSON county as is attributed to you was
used by you, It made no impression on nv mind at
the time, as ! think it would have done Tbava
not now the slightest recollection of anv sucb Ior-
gusge being used. You were earnest in voyr man.
ner and strongly urged the propriety Of 6ividin,
the offices Of the Pententiary with somo 81 ,Ls
applicants from the other counties. l updeTetond
there were applicants from other counties tSon
Davidson. and particularly one from Lincoln, NJ
AuFNr remained and had some conversation with
Us after the other two gentlemen started and up-
derstood him as distinctly concurring in the views
which you had presented, and that his efforts
would be used to carry them out.

Eruption of Mount yesuxiu
The correspondent of the Daily Nems

The correspondent of the DAILY Ners de-
scribing this grand event, says:
"The principal guide, who is called Coz
zalino, reported on the morning of the lst
May, that he had just ascended the noun
tain, and that on arriving at the summit
there were thousand reports as of cannon.
and then there was thrown up discharge
of red-hot stones. The rain and mist and
smoke, all mingled together, prevented a
near approach or nearer observation, and
we are therefore for the present left to our
unaided observations. During the whole of
yesterday nothing was to be seen but smoke
and cloud, which enveloped not only the
mountain but the whole coast, and then
swept way in immense volumes toward
Capri. In the very centre of the cloud,
however, might be seen an ashy, sulphurous-
colored plain, which, by shade difference
in the color and by the well-marked outline,
indicated that it was not all smoke, but that
lava was coming down. AS evening came
on the heavens were in bright glow, and
the whole population focked down to the
mole of the Santa Lucia to see the magnif-
cent spectacle. 1t was one of those unde-
fined scenes which give the imagination full
play. The form of the mountain was indis-
tinguishable- nothing was to be seen but
clouds, smoke and fire. Up to the very ze-
NTH the sky was covered with large dubious
clouds, black as ink and fringed with white;
underneath and half way down the noun
tain, everything was on fire, while right in
the centre Of it shot up cone of black
smoke. Still lower again, dark clouds COW
cred the base Of the mountain, having, too
as their centre-piece and contrast the river
Of lava which is running down toward
Resina. A few days since was exploring
with the miners among the ruins which still
lie buried under the modern city. The
neighboring mountain was rumbling and
smoking, and referring the inhabitants, as it
were, to the history of the past, but they
took no notice Of it, and | doubt whether
they now do so, except to calculate the
amount of profit it may bring in to them;
for an eruption of Vesuvius is to them as
good as fire to the London thieves. Dur
ing the whole of last night there was per-
feet procession of carriages towards Rasina.
[ contented myself with remaining here for
the first view, but probably shall 90 over
tonight, and will send you further detail by
Saturdays boat. The scene was rendered
still grander by an eclipse of themoon, which
took place about two hours and a half after
midnight" J."

Washington's style of Living.

Washington, by his marriage, had added
above 100000 to his already considerable
fortune, and was enabled to live in ample
and dignifed style. His intimacy with the
FairfaXes, and his intercourse with brother
officers of rank had perhaps their influences
in his mode Of living. He had his chariot
and four, with black positions in livery, for
the use of Mrs. Washington and her lady
visitors. AS for himself, he always appear
er on horseback. His stable was well filed,
and admirably regulated His stud was
thoroughbred and in excellent order. His
household books contain registers of the
names, ages and marks of his fayorite hors-
es-such as Ajdr, Blueskin, Valiant, Mag
nolia, Ian Arab &c. Also his dogs, chief
ly fox-hounds- Vulcan, Singer, Rtngrood,
S1ceetlipS, Forester, Music, ROckuood, True
Tore, &c.
A large Virginia estate in those days was
a little empire. The mansion house was the
seat Of government, with its numerous de-
pendences, such as kitchen, smoke-house,
workshop and stables In this mansion the
planter ruled supreme; his steward or over
seer was his prime minister and executive
officer, he had his legion of house negroes
for domestic service, and his host of field ne
grOes for the culture of tobacco, Indian corn
and other crops, and for other out-Ofdoor
labor. Their quarters formed a kind of
hamlet apart, composed of various huts,
with little gardens and poultry yards, all
well stocked. and Swarms of little negroes
gamboling in the sunshine. Then there
were large wooden edifces for curing tobac-
co, the staple and most profitable produc-
ton, and mills for grinding wheat and Indi-
an corn, of which large fields were cultiva-
ted for the supply of the family and the
maintenance of the negroes.
Among the slaves were artifcers OF all
kinds, tallors, shOemakers, carpenters, smiths,
| Wheelwrlghts, &c; so that plantation pro-
duced every thing within itself for ordiuary
use; as to articles of fashion and elegance,
luXurles and expensive clothing, they were
imported from London-for the planters on
the main rivers, especially the Potomac,
carried on an immediate trade with Eng
land. Their tobacco was put up by their
own, negroes, bore their own marks. was
shipped on board of vessels which came up
the rivers for the purpose, and consigned to
some agent in Liverpool or Bristol, with
whom the planter kept an account.
The Virginia planters were prone to leave
the care Of their estates too much to their
overseers, and to think personal labor a
degradation. Washington carried into his
rural affairs the same method, activity and
circumspection that has distinguished him
in military life He kept his own accounts,
posted up his books, and balanced them
with mercantile exactness. We have ex-
amined them, as we'll as his diaries record
ing his daily occupations, and his letter
books, containing entries of shipments of to-
bacco, and correspondence with his London
agents. They are monuments of bis bust
ness habits.
The products of his estate also became SO

Denagogisn.

The rankest and meanest attacks upon
the American party are those base inuen-
does which imply, that the objects of that
association are to persecute naturalized cit
liens. Nothing could be more absurd
The fact is that those who indulge in such
contemplate perversiOns, are the men really
who would'be willing to wage war upon
foreign-born citizens. They profess the
principle that would gladly spring an issue
between the native American and those
naturalized citizens whom we have cherish
ed and patronized as cordially as our own
most intimate kindred. They are constant
ly busy circulating gratuitous falsehoods
amongst the German, Irish aud English cit
izens, trying in the most stealthful manner
to establish bitter prejudice between them
and us, irrespective of the effects of such
prejudices upon the pleasant social and bust
ness relations which have heretofore existed
The American party desire nothing done
which will injure or limit the most intimate
social and business relations between the ma
tive and foreign citizens. The Constitution
of the United States requires the President
to be native born voter, and the abuse of
official patronage in the way of basely buy
ing that kind of foreign vote which has been
crowded into our country from the poor
houses and criminal haunts of monarchies-
a class of voters who can neither read nor
write, nor understand the object or bearing
of the power they exercise, has forced the
organization of the American Party and the
extension Of the above qualification. Was
there any other and better system of exclud-
ing them m-we mean this irresponsible mass
of voters who are manufactured for the ex-
elusive use of soullesss demagogues- then
we would not favor the present orgaanlzacc
ton. We would lament the engenderlng OF
that kind of prejudice which the Blgler
party is endeavoring to induce between the
native and foreign citizens, and we nope
they will perceive the trick and avoid the
consequence. lotate 1riouhe'

The Old Bachelor,

some very presumptuous young men in
the city OF Washington, who have not the
fear OF wife to restrain them, publish, as
they say semi-occasionally, a little paper
called the "Old Bachelor in which they il
reyerently discourse of the relative merits Of
welded life and celibacy. AS ar example
OF their diligence in getting together the
most awful slanders against the sex, we
copy some of their selections below, either
one of which would justly expose them to
condlgn bachelor-ship for the term Of their
natural lives in any court of Love or Hy-
men in Christendom. We have been so
shocked with the perusal of them that we
incontinently transcribe them, and invite
the readers of the Weekly Sun to undergo a
similar shock with ourselves. To think that
such sentiments are promulgated from the
very capital of these United States" is ap-
palling. What will be said of such things

Later from the Spanish Main.

Our advices from the republic of Chill are
to the l4th of June
BY this time it will be seen Chilli is en-
gagged in developing, noiselessly and grad
ually, the resources contained within it; that
it advances with firm step in the path of
civilization; that every day the interests
bound up in the preservation of peace aug
ment in number and in value, and that all
these conditions give promise we shall es-
cape the catastrophes which have caused
such deplorable injuries to other Spanish
American States. Persevering IN our pres
ent course, and adhering to our chosen mat
ter of Progress, the republic of the South
will present the gratifying spectacle which
that of the North now exhibits-namely,
the largest amount of greatness and pros
perity attained. Thus we propose to con-
tradict the prejudice which denies to our
race the possession of the power of attaining
happiness under this political system.
The labors Of Congress in these days have
been slight. The Chambers have been en-
gagged in the discussion of treaty with
Great Britain, and of abolishiug the dues
collected by parish priests.
During the fortnight sums of Importance
have been invested by the government in
favor of popular education, worship and the
improvement of roads and means of COM
municatiOn. A company has been formed
in the capital for the construction Of road
from Santiago to Talca. Such has been the
enthusiasm manifested on the subject, as to
warrant the hope that ere long the requisite
capital will be subscribed for commencing
the work.
The mines Of Copiapo are still improving.
During the fortnight rich deposits have
been reached in Chanarcillo and Tres Pun
tas. The exports of bullion and ores of sill
yer at Caldera for the four months of the
year were 81 100000 Besides, there have
been exports of copper, which every day is
becoming a production in that province of
more value.
The fears that have been felt regarding
drought have been dispelled. Sufficient
rains have fallen of late. The state of the
weather is unfayorable to commerce.
PERU.-From Callao we have dates to
the 25th of June. The news is not of much
Importance. Castillo, it is generally sup
posed, will be elected to the Presidency.
BoLIvIA.-From this republic we have
no news of interest.
New GRANADA-The government called
the State of the Isthmus has been organized.
The foreigners in it are very clamorous for
the exercise of the right of suffrage
The United States ship John Adams is
still at Panama.
CENTRAL AMERICA-Late advices from
Central merica ctata that tho authorities
of Nicaragua have ordered that Col. Kin
ney and Mr.. Fabens should be put to death
by any civil or military officer or officers, if
they are found within the territory of the
republic. Much alarm prevailed. Union.

Is IT PAINFUL TO DIE?-Accordino

Is IT PAINFUL TO DIE ?-According to
my observation, the mere act of dying is
seldom, in any sense of the word, a very
painful process. 1t is true that some per
sons die in state of bodily torture, as in
cases of tetanus; that the drunkard, diving
of delirium tremens, is haunted by terrific
visions; and that the victim of that most
horrible of all diseases, hydrophobia, in ad-
dition to those peculiar bodily sufferings
from which the disease has derived its name,
may be in a state of terror from the sup
posed presence Of frightful objects, which
are presented to him as realities, even to the
last. But these, and some other instances
which | might adduce, are exceptions to the
general rule-which is, that both mental
and bodily suffering terminate long before
the scene is finally closed. Then as to the
actual fear of death, it seems to me that the
Author Of our existence, for the most part,
gives it to us when it is intended that we
should live, and takes it away from US when
it is intended that we should die. Those
who have been long tormented by bodily
pain, are generally as anxious to die as they
ever were to live. So it often is with those
whose life has been protracted to an extreme
old age, beyond the usual period of mortal
ity, even when they labor under no actual
disease. Psychological Inquiries.

SWALLOWED UP.-The Assignees of Ad.
ans & Co. appeared before the Superior
Court yesterday, and exhibited an account
of assets, in their hands, belonging to that
house. From their representations, we learn
that they are in possession of $I24,OOO, cash
together with the bills receivable, and these
are the only assets in their hands.
In the Fourth District Court at the suit
of NJ. g. Read ct al. for the sum of $780,
600, the Judgment of the Court was answer
ed that there were not cash assets in posses
sion OF the Assignees sufficient to meet the
above demands. The funds in the hands of
the Assignees had been garnisheed, and &C
cording to the report of the Assignees, there
were but $l24,000 in their hands, from
which amount was to be deducted the ex-
penses, necessarily incurred, in settling up
the affairs of the Assigneeship, leaving
deficit of $4,000 between the Judgment OF
Read ct al. and the amount in the hands OF
the Assignees. Then the great house OF
Adams & Co. has disappeared, leaving
debt behind it almost equal to the haoll'-
