BANKS.

The run upon the Bank of East
Tennessee and its Branches at Chatta-
nooga and Jonesboro', for the last
three weeks, has resulted in the sus-
pension Of specie payments by the
Branches, though the principal Bank
in Knoxville continues to redeem its
issues. The notes do not pass in bu-
siness transactions. The officers say
that as soon as they can collect, they
will redeem every dollar but public
opinion is distrustful.
The rumor to which we alluded last
week, affecting the solvency of the
Bank of Chattanooga, is believed to
have been without foundation, The
bills pass at par.
This is squally time with Banks.
To our readers we would say: watch
our columns closely, as We intend to
publish the latest and most reliable
information, in order that our subseri-
bers may guard against loss in the
event Of crash.
