Hon. Charles Ready.

The Fifth Congressional District has cause to be
proud of this gentleman who represents it in the
Congress of the United States. His course both
in public and private has ever been characterized
by the most answering integrity. The bold and
fearless position he has now assumed in regard to
the election of Speaker, commands our admiration.
He has uniformly voted for Mr.. Fuller, the only
candidate upon whom the South can rely with any
safety He with the noble band of Southern Ameri.
cans, has stood up goriously for the principles of
the Philadelphia Platform and for the rights of the
South
Were the Representative of our National Legis-
lature all men of the indomitable rmness and pos,
sessing the incorporating patriotism of Mr..
Ready, there would be no necessity for any appre-
hension for the safety Of our government.
Mr.. Ready has shown himself to DO the firm
friend Of the South and Of the Union, and as such
he is worthy to be honored and held in CRATE
full remembrance by his constituents Mayrsssboro

desire to say few things through your
paper to the citizens of Nashville, in very plain
language and with facts and figures, which
will strike with home thrust, at truth all
must feel-and with this single remark l close
my preface :-Whateuer tends 10 its prosperity
contributes to my success, to the s0eyare Of its
most GRATED and humJLest citizen.
1t is trite saying and household axiom,
Nashville ought and must become a manufac-
turing city. Vast sums Of money have been
spent in the effort to make it so, and it is pain
full to remember the many noble spirits who
have buried their all beneath heap of brick
and mortar in the self-sscrifcing effort. The
failure was not for the want of skill and ener-
gy, for we never lacked that; but from a
cause so remote that the best minds overlook
ed or forgot it.
1t could not have been want of labor, that
has been abundant and cheap enough, at least
as cheap as it could be had elsewhere, or scare
ity of raw material, nor the lack of supplies
necessary to sustain life, for until within few
years, and even now, provisions are shipped
from here in great abundance; much less could
the failure in the endeavor to make this
manufacturing city, have arisen from a want
Of demand for the manufactured goods; the
very next rise in the Cumberland viii present
an argument at once convincing to the contra
ry, in the rapid arrival of boat after boat stag
geriug beneath mighty loads Of wood and iron
wares, machinery, &c.
Go to the wharf upon the arrival of the next
packet from the Ohio river and take seat on
a cotton bale, and take good look at the Ligh
piles of candles, soap, wash-bosrds, chairs, bed
steads, stoves, castings, wrought iron work,
and the bales of cotton domestics,-take care
they don't slip the bale of cotton from under
you and speed Ii away to be spun up to make
your next summers shirt, and slip light, soft
cushioned rocking chair under youl
Do you ever see these things 60 back to Gin
cinnati No, instead, they are worn out, and
ali consumed here.
Some one replies, "wby Nashville is young
yet-give her chance-wait till she gets old.
er"-and with such patient spirit she will
always remain young. But you forget that
Nashville is almost old enough to be the grand
father of Cincinnati, we have a right to ex.
pect more from her on that accountable day
has passed when youth and brains were at
discount, and old age and imbecility stood
sponsors to every enterprise Of merit.
They who once thought Nashville ought to
be city Of manufactures, now know that she
must either become 50, or else our railroads

Important Judicial Decision.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee decided
on yesterday in the case of William L.
Baton rs. the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, that the act of 1854,
oh. 33, sec. l and 2, making railroad COM
panies liable for stock killed by them, their
agents or servants, by being run over by
their locomotives or cars, is constitutional
and valid, and embraces as a police regu-
Iation all companies chartered anterior to
the passage of said act, who may commit
such, as well as those chartered subsequent
ly thereto.
This act effects an important change in
the common law rule upon the subject, and
makes railroad companies liable for inevi-
table accidents in killing stock, subject to
tie single exception provided for in the
second section of said act, which is, that
in such cases no damages shall be recover
able by the owners of stock "who may
place their stock or procure the same to be
placed upon said road to be killed or dam
aged" We understand the counsel for the
railroad companies intend taking the case
by writ of error before the Supreme Court
of the United States.

DISTRESSING AccIDENT.-0n Saturday night last,
the little son of Mr.. w. F Bib, Of this place
about 10 years old was found drowned in the pond,
on Fraklin Street. Just above the Methodist Church
The ice gatherers had made large opening on one
side of the pond during the day, and il is supposed,
that ignorant OF this fact he walked of from the
ice into the water. We understand that he left
home after supper and that as he did not return
his parents became alarmed aud instituted search
for him about o'clock at night. His cap, O Dating
upon the water furnished the evidence of his sad
fate and the clue to bis C2drkesvile

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.
NEW York. May L..

NEW IOhh, Way IL.
The teainer Atlantic from Liverpool
has arrived with Liverpool dates to the
30th ult.
The principal features OF the news is
the official publication of the treaty of
peace, and the formal proclamation of
peace. Three appended conventions are
also provided for. The first has refer
ence to the passage of the Dardanelles,
the second is for arranging the details of
the naval force IN the Black Sea, and the
third declaring that the Otard isles are not
to be fortified.
There is also an important declaration
of maritime law, abolishing privateering,
and providing that neutral flags protect
the cargoes except contraband articles,
with the addition, that the neutral goods
under the enemy's flag are exempt from
capture. The treaty itself is precisely the
same as sent by the last steamer. The
missing articles, No. 5 and 6, relate to a
general amnesty and exchange of prison
ers, and Nos. I and s give Turkey adj
mission into the European political sys-
tenn, and secure European arbitration in
cases of dispute with her.

paning the treaty of peace have been lait

the law cannot be intended for their ad-
vantage. Who then was it intended to
benefit? Why, reader, there are, in every
city and town ofconsiderable size, swarms
of those leeches upon society called bro
kers and bankers, who make their living
by borrowing money at 4 or 5 per cent.
and lending it at 8 or 10. 1t permits
them to do business on a capital of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars without pay
ing q cent of tax on it. This is the class
of men who had friends in the OHIO Leg
i~slature.
The taxable property of this county,
and others not among the wealthy, is di-
Iminished zone at all, or, if any very little,
while the Weather counties will be lessen

is, that We have to pay much larger pro-

done heretofore. "Take care of the rich,

Who Is entitled to the GloryP

Considerable stir is being made to as
who is entitled to the glory Of
the rife to Kansas which shot
Sheriff Jones. While some are ready
to award almost all the glory of the dis
turbances there to Beecher and his con
federates, we desire to see fair play for
patriots of humber preten-
sions. We understand that considerable
sums of money were raised in this county
to be sent to Kansas. Now, who knows
that it was not this identical money that
armed the hero who shot Jones? When
ever one of these "peaceable and quiet
citizens is fortunate enough to shoot q
political opponent, investigation should
be made at once to see who of his philan-
thropie brethren in the States furnished
the lucky rife. If Seward or Chase
should be elected President, the sender viii
have an lndisputable right to a good fa'
office. Look to your interests, gen
tlemen.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May l5-Itis understood
that the President will tomorrow COM
municate with Congress the documents,
and probably a message upon the entire
subject of Central American affairs. The
President is evidently in a position OF
embarrassment upon this as upon other
questions.
Congress recently sent to the President
for approval of a bill deepening the flats
over the channel of st. Clair river, Mich,
and a bill for the removal of distractions
at the month of the Mississippi. In this
way the North and South are apparently
combined upon the subject Of great public
interest.
The Senate took up and passed the bill
from the House, granting alternate sec
tons of land to Florida and Alabama, Il
| aid in the construction of Railroads.

TIL -SPIRIT OF DEN O CRACY

But I must be careful and not say too
much, for one occupying the humble sphere
that l do. The gentleman talks some of
being Governor of Kansas, and says "ifI
only was, I would immortalize myself"
No wonder when we consider this decla-
ration that he is so opposed to the views
and administration of Governor Shannon.
One thing w predict in conclusion that
with all the help the gentleman has, or a
obtain, and whatever number of Sundays
they may occupy in attempting to extri-
cate themselves from the dilemma, or make
the matter appear better on their part, it
will result in the opposite; and the only
hope for them is to follow the example of
the many that have left their ranks and
speedily reform of their political misdoings
at least SUNFISH.
May I, 1855.
