dItIon to resume specie payments the moment it IL

of Hon. Andrew johnson from Tennessee, is most
gratifying exchange for James G. Jones. The lat

is endowed with practical talents for public affairs
which secures distinction aud ascendancy.

In TME.--The Sparta Times tells the fol-
lowing:
Upon the State Bank suspending in Nash
Vile, the Bank despatched an agent in hot
haste to the Sparta Branch. There happened
TO be some Brokers from Nashville in Just as
hot haste as he was. Neck and neck, and all
on the cars, and arrived at MoMinuvile to-
gether. Together they all took the stage for
Sparta-on the way the stage broke down.
Here was a muss. Bank agent said he would
walk piece and straighten his ioints-and be
kept on walking and reached Sparta about half
an hour before the Brokers. The Bank sus-
pended. The Brokers in-but too late, too
late! They louked as a monument of grief,
aud departed next day minus the specie. The
little man with the cap gained the premium,
and will do TO travel. Ia the language of q
contemporary we would ask, Are We going
TO permit the family of Shylock To get the
whole of our property for nothing

American Corvette Plymouth at south
ampIOn.
From the London Eews.I

There is nov lying 10 Southampton, United
States corvette called the Plymouth. She is
commanded by Captain DaIgren, the inventor
of those enormous guns with which American
men-of- war are now armed, and which, in the
opinion of some will revolutionize naval war
fare, as ships will be destroyed before they
can come near each other a pivot gun which
is on board the Plymouth has an ii inch bore.
There are in all five large guns on board, and
the object of the PlymOuth's cruise is TO ena-
bic Captain Dalgren to make some experiments
In sea-hring. Although the machinery tpr
working these guns is very perfect and beauI-
full, vet the labor of firing such heavy ordi-
nance is severe There are some pretty howit-
gers on board the Plymouth, which are
markable for the rapIdity with which they can
BIO hired and the facility with which they can
be used IN boas, or mounted 90 carriages on
shore. The boarding implements aud small
arms, such as tomahawks, swords, pistols that
can DO converted into carbines, short carblnes
that are loaded at the breech, and have the
properties OF the Mimic rifle, are well worth in~
epecuon, all having souie new and useful pro-
perty. One of the curious properties Of the
Dagren heavy gun Is the siugnlarly mellow
sound that accompanies It's discharge. Tie
volume of sound which il causes is enormous
but the sound Is net that ringing aud ear-split-
ting quality which usually accompanies heavy
ordnance. The Plymouth Is pierced for tvg en-
ty-two Guns. Her full complement of men is
s32tt Her crew, however, 4 present amounts
60 only $50 men, She Is a wooden ship of
enormous strength, her gimbers being tar
heavier than those of English men-ot-was.

A WISE ExPEDIENT.-The Cincinnati Times SAYS
90 we observe that some of our city tradesmen have
resolved to meet the present emergency by raising
the funds from the sales of their stocks and have
accordingly reduced prices to rates that will enable
them to do so. This is certainly far better than
borrowing money at two three per cent. per
month"; or suffering heavy discounts upon good
notes that will doubtless be paid at maturity.
When money is twice much in demand, then pro-
per inducements must be held out to its possessor
TO part with it, and we know of none better than
furnishing such articles he may need at lower
prices than he can purchase them elsewhere. 1t is
the sure way, and those who have adopted it are
finding its effects in the fact that their stores are
crowded from morning until night. To look into
such establishments would fancy that there are
no hard times, upon US, that the pressure was a
mere fancy. We do not mean by this a reduction
To ruinous rates, but such would dictate
70 be more advantageous than borrowing money at
usuriOus interest.

Whose tide kept changing
Some times I00 sometimes nigh
In Spring as well as Au uun,
And full of Golden Fish some said
Though people neve caught IN,
Unit its banks too weak last-kept caVug n-kept
caVing in
Men 51si5t upon its very brink
Too fond of eIeUdti0n,
Erecting paper structures high
Wit out gold foundations
Yet dreaming of atIIJ()
While life itself existed,
Until there a n ng tide
Which could OF be resisted,
And undermined the banks-so weak-which caving in,
kept caving in.
Twas at the head-source of the stream
The banks frst gan to crumble,
And castles tottering o its brink
Be at length to tum lie
And all adown the 90 den
The same scene of disaster
Won meet the eye of falling banks,
falling fast and faster.
And everywhere the felt, they all e4ved inkeP

And "Old u S, frantic with alarm,

If the stream would cease

And thus relieve the sudden shock
And public apprehe sion;

Were not so badly frightened
For when the banks kept growing loose
They kept their pur,es frightened,

And gold for 'JzGOttng paper"

But those unthnkiug, reckless souls,
Who built up paper-hOuses,
Who spent each day in gambling games,
Each night in wine carouses,
All tainted at the weird wild notes
The rushing tide presented.
And that they SO much paper used
They sorely Il TePented.
But now, alas hope remains-they al cave in-keep

There is FINANCE RIVER now,
Blu waves in high commo ion,

And Ger its surface naught is seen
But paper wild ly scattered,
The remnants Of the papeytOwers
All bio n adrift and shattered.
