stock ofbonnets, flowers, ribbons trimmings, head
dresses &c, is far beyond what we expected to
see. The finer qualities Of these various styles of
goods are indeed superb, surprising anything we
have ever seen. The bonnets, particularly, we
look upon the prettest things in that line ever

BANK OF EAST TENNESSEE

We have but little additional information as to
the condition of this institution up to the time Of
going TO press. We can hear of no reverses in
its recent transactions on which the report of its
failure could have been based The report was first
teegrAphed from Savannah, we understand, and
was doubtless done from malicious motives. The
supposition is, however, that the run upon the
bank will be so great as to compel it to suspend,
unless strongly sustained by its friends. We un-
derstand that an effort is being made to sustain it.
Brokers refuse IFS paper at any thing. Small sales
have been effected on the streets at fifty cents tc

been well attended, and was remarkable for the

other interesting articles, says the Columbia Times,
was the exhibition by the Messrs. Nichols, of the
first dozen of cups and saucers made in the United
States They also display the Parian China pitch
ers and vases made from South Carolina clay.
As the earthen ware and china now in use come
almost entirely from Europe, this last fact should
give additional interest to the collection as being
the products of our own State.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The democratic State Convention which met
Nashville in January last directed that the next
State Convention of the party should be held In
the same place on the 9Th of January, 1857. In
reminding our democratic fellow-ctizsus of this
fact, we urge upon them the importance of full
representation from all the counties. The contest
through which We have lately passed, and which
has so gloriously ended, has tested the soundness
OF democratic principles, and placed Tennessee per-
msnently in the list Of democratic States. Yet
we may expect struggle b. the oppositi ton to re-
gain power, under some new name, and must be
prepared to meet it, and to defend the field so
hardly won. 1t will be the duty of the State Con-
vention to nominate candidate for Governor and
to secure q continuance of our organization.
We invite, therefore, the wisdom Of the people
to meet in Convention on the day designated, and
while exchanging congratulations on the result
which has secured the stability of institutions
and fixed the policy of the country as democratic
for the next four years, to do what be done to
guard these blessings in the present and secure
their inheritance to our descendants.
