cB- There is one error into which o,

cB There is one error into which our
young friend Of the Knoxville Register has
fallen-an error peculiar to his locality
which We wish to correct. 1t is this When
ever any one thinks it right, proper or expe-
dent, to oppose or question the propriety or
practicabilitJ Of measures or projects origi-
mating at Knoxville, the inference seems to be
drawn and the charge is made at once, that
such opposition is melted by feeling of ZEN
Wy of the greatness and prosperity of the
town, or of the reputation and munifcenee
Of a few of its enterprising citizens" Now,
this is simply ridiculous--it's worse-absurd,
preposterous. We have no disposition to dis.
parage, and would rather build up than pull
down, but, in all seriousness, we will just ask
what is there in the condition Of Knoxville
either actual or prospective, that othel
communities should be envious of or
what great public good has been brough
about by the efforts and ,liberality of tn
few munifcent citizens" to whose exam
pie we are SO frequently commended w
do hope our young friend Of the Register viii
indulge in no more such ridiculous fanees-
We can assure him that there is no one i
this direction 'envious' Of his town, or 9
any thing about it-not even of its press. l
is true we sometimes have 70 laugh at it
"airs and pretensions," as displayed throug
the columns Of its papers; just as we do whe
we see little boy rugged up in his daddy
hat and coat, and assuming the gait an
swagger of his paternal relative. This is
harmless sort of matter, however, and as Ion
as we cannot initiate the "muniicence an
liberality" of our more highly favored neigl
bOrs, We hope they will not deny to us tn
privilege Of laughing at theirfollies.

LATEST FROM MExlco.-Advces from
Mexico to the 2lst ultimo represent that un.
fortunate country to be in terrible state of
anarchy and confusion. Party spirit RACES
with unexamplcd vrulence. Several military
chiefs have been arrested and thrown into
confinement. Robberies and assassinations
are so frequent that travel between Vera Cruz
and the capital is almost suspended.
The Observation-Disclosures, it would
seem, is beginning to warm up with excite
ment on the subject of the next Presidency,
The Star says, that notwithstanding Judge
Douglas opposition to the use of his name in
connection with the office, he will be one OF
the three candidates before the Cincinnati
observation-disclosures. Pierce md Buchanan
beirg the other two. From the same source
we learn that Mr.. Crittenden is among the
Washington politicians decidedly the mos
prominent of the "American" aspirants fol
that otlice--he being regarded as more avail
able than Mr.. Fillmore, and, of course, greatly
the superior in qualifications TO George Law
The Black Republicans are turning their at
tention to Governor Chase, of Ohio-Mr
Seward having postponed the assertion of hi
claim until 1860.

TENNESSEE BRIDGE FINIsHED.-The Chat
nooga Advertiser, of the 18th, sayswe learn
that the first train Of cars passed over the
Tennessee Bridge on Thursday night the
18th, being completed ten days before the
set time in contract-and for each day the
contractor will receive $500, thus securing
to him the snug little sum of $4,000. Much
praise and credit is due to Mr.. Maxwell and
his assistants for the energy and despatch with
which they have prosecuted the work from
the commencement.
