The following rather hard hit at the Tcnnes
sec democracy, is from the Nashville Gazette
1t is very good, but still better, every word is
true:
1.-The first great editor of the Tennessee de
mocracy, was Jeremiah George Harris, who
was, before he came here, northern abolition,
| lists lie became, when he took charge of the
Nashville Union, the most warlike defender oil
southern rights and slavery He married, got
a fortune by bis wife, sold out here, and re-
moved back to his congenial north, where he
now lives d ranting freesoler.
%. e. Sheppard afterwards fell heir to the
official organ Of the Tennessee democracy, and
conducted the journal for some years. The
democratic patronage of his paper made this
missionary of the abohtonst fortune. He
pocketcd it and then retired 10 his congenial
north. "r
"Lineal successor to the above mentioned, is
the present occupant of the tripod-a man of
similar antecedents. And vet the illustrious
trio pirate Of southern rights Mercy on us!'
And this is picture of the official organ
grinders of tic Tennessee democracy.
Specimens of ''sharp PRACTICE occur very
often in other places besides courts of Justice,
as will be perceived by the following, which
we CLEAN from the Atlanta Intelligencer. Two
weeks ago house in Philadelphia transmitted
5000 of the bills of the Planters and Mechan-
les bank, of Dalton, Georgia, to their cores
pendent at Atlanta, with instructions to draw
the coin and remit ii. In due time the bank
notes were presented at the counter for redemp-
ton. The cashier ofthe bank consumed an I'M
usual time in counting the bills, and while en-
gagged in that absorbing task the sheriff of
Whitfield county entered the banking house
and levied an attachment on the money as the
property of one Glenn F. Lewis, Of Cleveland,
Ohio, who it was charged received the bills
from Preston q Co., of Chicago, Illinois, under
promise to circulate them, and who still oeged
Preston d Go. for them. Sharp practice that
on all sides. We suppose that the bank had
not in its vault 5000 in coin at the time the bills
were presented for payment, and the cashier
to prevent the truth being known called to his
aid the sheriff --' '.'4 ~' A

The great collision case between the steamers
Magnolia and Autocrat, in which the latter was
sunk opposite bayou Goula landing, 80 miles
below Baton Rouge, which has been in the
admiralty court for four years, was decided a
few days ago by the U. S. supreme court, at
Washington, in favor of the Magnolia. The
decree of fudge Campbell, in the US. circuit
court for Louisiana, dismissing the libel, with
costs, and generating the officers of the Mag
no,a from any blame, has been fully affirmed
This decree makes it the duty ofthe ascending
boat to do all the maneuyreing, while the de-
scending boat stops her engines and floats. In
behalf of the Magnolia, this important case was
argued by Messrs Geo. Eustis and P . e. Bonn
ford in the 7. S. district and circuit courts, N.
Orleans, and by the hon.J. z. Benjamin in the
supreme court at Washington. Has !
Messrs. Chubb Brothers, bankers, in Wash |
ington, have issued circular, stating thatthey
cannot learn of any forgeries in land warrants
issued under the act of 1850 or 1855. There
were many forged printed warrants, purporting
to have been issued to soldiers engaged in the |
Mexican war; but none of the engraved war
rants have been known to be forged. The ru-
NOR seems to have been started by some un-
principled brokers and Spectators to put down
the price of warrants ~
A bitter war has broken out between two
sections Of the faculty of the Eclectic Medical
Institute at Cincinnati, and on the 10th inst,
conflict ensued between the two parties, which
rendered it necessary TO call in the aid Of the
police. In the meanwhilefwe are much pleased
to learn that the general health of the citizens
Of Cincinnati greatly improved during the feud
among the physicians. .a4 9.-
