BEAVER DAM SP RINGS AND A COOL SUMNER.
Having just returned from professional tour to
Beaver Dam Springs, and enjoyed while there the
sweet delights of temperate zone, while you
were suffering the fortunes of the torrid zOne the
most sure way of obtaining from you some token of
gratitude, confident, is to advise you to visit
that finest of our Tennessee Springs. You can enjoy
the luxury of drinking six different kinds of WATER
four sulphurous, which resemble in composition
the white Sulphur Springs of Virginia; one Cha
lybeate and dozen free stone Springs, all rivaling
each other in GOODNESS.
The deep shade of thirty odd kinds of trees, aid
ing the already elevated position of the soil offer to
your enervated system such resstless inducemen to
exercise, that your appetite would become Unsuitable
were it not for the abundance under which the table
groans.
You can also roam over the three thousand acres
of hunting ground attached to the establishment,
and if at all skilled in the chase you are to
bring back one two deer wherewith to regale your
friends Or if you prefer the quieter and less fire.
quent pleasures of the line multitude of rvulets
and brooks will furnish you means of carrying home
some fine mountain Trout, besides host Of less
palatable members of the inny tribe.
Let me tell you in conclusion, that you recon-
mend your friends who may suffer all diseases from
hypo to old maidenhOod, and still worse, to old
Dictatorship to go and try the ball room of Beaver
Dam Springs, or its tenpin alleys, or even the be-
wiching smiles Of the young beauties gathered there
and if they don't come back to Nashville and vote
big sword to you for having saved their lives then
say we have not in Tennessee as fine Springs as any
in the world.
AS soon it is complete the quantitative analysis
of the different Springs Of Beaver Dam, which am
now making, will be reported to you
Respectfully Yours,
4. E. ANSMAN.

WHAT NExT?-A machine has been invented for
hearing sheep, the operation requiring but three
minutes, when the animal jumps from the machine,
so smooth that one would suppose it had never had
an outor coat to its back.

THE LATE ePvAToR Rr TT:7

The New York Times INDUCES in the following
cOnjectures in regard to the causes of the death of
this most estimable gentleman, whose melancholy
death by suicide on the 29th of July we have already
announced.
About year ago he lost his wife, to whom he was
said to have been deeply attached The sad event
preyed upon his spirits but his active mind could
not brood over misfortune and he returned to Wash
ington at the beginning of the late session of Con-
gress, where his course was marked by the unfag-
ging industry and neyerring energy characteristic
OF the man He took deep interest in the con-
struetion Of the projected wagonroad to the Pacific
and the overland mail recently authorized by Con-
gress. After the adjournment, last March, he re-
manned at Washington for several weeks, to cOntri
butte his personal aid in the initiation of those
enterprises. When he saw them placed on what he
deemed satisfactory basis, and certain to be prost
cuted with promptness and vgor, he left for home,
where active canvass was then progressing between
his colleague, Gen. Houston, and Runnells, the
regular Democratic candidate for the Governorship.
General Rusk declined any part in the canvass,
aud the next we hear of him is that he has died
by his own hand. His health has not been very
good for year or more past, although his robust
appearance gave no outward token of disease, and
his friends rarely heard him complain 1t is possible
that when he returned to his home, and threw off
the harness ofpubc life, the sad bereavement which
had desOlated his hearth came upon him with stun
ming force Frustrating his already exhausted Frame
dethroning his intellect and impelling him to seek
oblivion in death; but until further advces shall
cling to the hope that there is error in the
lanchOly intelligence which will soon be exposed.
The Washington Star, says of him.
We knew him well throughout the last neneteen
years, and never knew any other public man to be
more entirely unselfsh, so conscientious in all his
thoughts and acts public and private, to possess
more traits of character such win for their pos
SCISSOR the confidence and esteem, and, indeed the
ardent affection of men of mind and abiding per-
sonal CHARACTER. As father, husband and neigh
Dor, he was loved as few are.
In early life he frequently gave way to ungOvern
able temporary spells of dissipation wherein he lost
his usual command over himself Later, however,
he gradually gained control over his passion for
such Outbursts, until they had become very rare
with him. While in them his friends often feared
that he would injure hmselfwith weapons, and were
careful far possible to keep them out of his
reach.

The yield is not only extra ordinarily large but the
quantity of ground cultivat ed was far beyond any

FRIGHTENED OUT OF HIS sKIN.-A young man went
out hunting for deer in the woods near Lanark, c.
W, recently, and, as experiment, he clothed
himgelf in deer skin, and took a stand where
those animals were known to pass quite often
While thus intent upon securing some game, an
other huuter came near making game of him for,
to see what he supposed to be fine
deer through the thicket, the new conner took de-
liberate aim at it and fred. Fortunately the ball
missed the counterfeit deer, but it succeeded in
90 frightening him out of his skin"

BANKS.


MONDAY, July 13, 1857.
We find the same ''tightness' of the money mar
ket here which we left at Memphis We beg TO di-
rect attention to the various statements of the
Banks of the State which we also enclose herewith,
as the source from which these pecuniary troubles
mainly emanate.
The State Bank has more coin than both the UniC n
and Planters Banks; nearly double in deposits Of
either Bank: and with active line of discounts
of some So, 342, 570-hOdng some $642 1913 of State
Bonds to sustain public credit, and nearly million of
the stocks in the Union and Planters Banks-SS99,-
1874 Its profits large enough to vndcate not only its
good management, but to justify the continuance of
the Institution, the Fiscal agent of the State
The Bank is sound and safe 1t is useful and pro-
ftable-enjoying public confidence, as evidenced ty
the large deposit and indicates from the steadiness
of its loans and discounts and uniform circulation
from January to July, its sympathy with the peO-
ple and its disposition and ability to prevent the
mischief of Bank fluctuations and the nOrdinate
actions and shaving system of business, which is
clearly and Enthusiastically shown by the statements
of the Union and Planters Banks in January and
July, 1857.
The circulation of the Bank of Tennessee only
varies between January and July some S47, 407.-
The Union Bank varies between these periods of
time 81 425 $780, and the Planters Bank varies with
in the same period 1862, 1874.
But for the wise and liberal policy of the Bank
of Tennessee, the monetary pressure would be still
more intense.
