BSA- The greatest preservative of beauty known
to modern science, is Professor Woods Hair Resto
rative and Cosmetic. Among the most important
features of female beauty, are luxuriant head of
hair and fine complexion; both of which should
be guarded as sacred treasures, for vither may be
lost by neglect preserved by the of the above
named article; delay is dangerous. We seldom I'M
dertake, editorially, TO endorse what are called
Hair RestOratives, as knowing full well that the
great majority of such preparations are entirely
worthless. Exceptions there are, nevertheless, and
among these we have never hesitated to express
our conviction that the article known as
- Woods Hair Restorative, is entitled TO proud
pre-eminence. This Article has told its own story
is numberless instances Of prematurely gray and
bald heads and the certificates in regard its anaz
ing efficacy have been alike numerous, unsolicited
and eUpatic When Senators of the United States
and others (Of the highest standing socially and
politically openly declare that woods Hair Re-
storative is all, and more than ALL it pretends to
be, we cannot do otherwise than believe them. The
article can be had at all Druggists. See notice
elsewhere.-RahOdy Republican.

TENNESSEE.

An EAST TENNESSEE FARMER--JOsHUA PHIPPs.-
The career of Mr.. Phipps, of Hawkins county, Ten
nessee, has demonstrated the fact that Agriculture
in East Tennessee, pursued steadily, skilfuly and
indusriOusy, will ultimately result in riches to the
farmer. Twenty years ago Mr.. P was comparative
ly poor man. He is now ffty-ive years of age.
He has been all his life farmer, and devoted his
entire time to the culture of his lands-turning nei-
Their the right hand nor the left to engage in spec
ulations of any kind and thus making his annual
income to proceed alone from the products of his
fields. This year he has had in cultivation 700 acres
of wheat, 200 Of oats, 700 acres of corn and
1000 acres of clover and grass HI has sold of the
crop of this year, we have noticed elsewhere,
5000 bushels of wheat, and recently he sold 500
hogs, of them to weigh less than 200 lbs, at
54c, gross. These and other sales from his farms,
upon which he works about so negroes, will give to
him an income for the year 1857 but little short Of
t10eHty thousand dollars, or between $500 and $500
to the negro. Some of the land which Mr. Phipps
cultivaes he would not gell as he tells us, for
$3.50 per acre; though, of course its all of this
quality. His farms are upon the Holston river,
about % miles distant from the East Tennessee and
Virg inia Railroad.-SOuths7n Citizen.

The action Of the Kansas Constitutional convsn
ton viii be sustained BY the Administration and the
Constitution sent to Congress- whether it contains
the slavery clause or not win be approved and Kan
sss be admitted as q State.
There is good deal of anxiety manifested here
at this time concerning the foreign appointments to
be made at the meeting Of Congress. Nothing de-
finite is known, though it is generally believed that
Senator slidell will be sent to France. No man in
the country is better fitted for the station than Mr.
Shdel and it is post also, which will soon require
the services of an able diplomat. As the Louisiana
Legislature is decidedly Democratic, there is no haz-
ard to the administration in the transfer Of Mr. Sh
dell from his seat in that body.
Tennessee is entitled to, and it is generally under
stood will receive, of these appointments. She
now has less of the Federal patronage than most any
State in the Union.
The election of Gov. Andrew johnson and Judge
Nicholson to the United States Senate was very graft
flying to their numerous friends here, and places
Tennessee in position where her influence can be
felt for the good of the country.
As the session approaches, the anxiety to secure
the prominent places in the House of Representa-
ves increases So far the contest for Speaker seems
to be between Mr.. Orr of South Carolina, and Mr..
Phelps of Missouri. The names of others shave been
mentioned; among them that of Hon. Geo. W. Jones,
a whose devotion to his party integrity, exper-
fence and ability justly entitle him to any position
in the House he may desire.
Our city has been the scene of most disgraceful
riots, originating in feuds growing Out of the
lawless condition of Baltimore. The fights have
been confined to rufians from Baltimore, backed by
sympathisers THE same class here. On Saturday

nessee sused extensively for adjoining the interior Of

QUERIES.

Why is it proposed, why do all men concur in the
PrOpriety Of Withdrawing small note circulation,
beginning with those under fves, and after little
while the ves also, and then the tens, so that in
little time shall have nothing less than twenties
in circulation? Is it intended to do away with all
small sales? Are we to have no means Of effecting
exchanges Of less value than twenty dollars Or do
you expect that specie viii flow in TO fill the vacuum
created by the withdrawal of small notes?
Please consider well before you answer, and then
tel us why the result whatever it may be- if we
should continue the system, would not follow the
withdrawal of ffties, hundreds, and after while
longer, the total withdrawal of all bank issues?

OUR MASTERS

Yes, there IS no use trying to disguise the fact;
the Banks our masters. We are their slaves
They belabOur day after day year after year, yet
like the patient Ok, we bend our neoks meekly to
che yoke, content if we but get the husk to eat,
while our masters get the grain. Patiently, energet-
icaly, msnfully we toll, in cold or in heat, and
when the products of our incesant labor are turned
into solid coin, turn IL all over to the Banks in
exchange for their paper promises, to be redeemed
sH upon the contingency that Shali furnish addition
a. means to take Il up
Why viii not men see this undeniable fact; tia
IL is not the Banks which furnish the capital upon
which the business of the country is carried on but
Il is the products, the wealth, the business Of the
country that furnishes the 50 called capital of the
Banks. This wealth exists independent Of Banks;
for, as at present organized they do not lend money!
they only exchange their notes, not bearing interest
for ours, which pay interest. And yet zee who pay
interest," have to furnish the means Of taking up the
notes of both.
There Is our whole Banking system in a nutshell
Talk about being able to get along without Banks
Of issue, Why The Banks can't more peg, until the
country, whatever it may cost, is able 10 get along
WithOut them We are obliged to recover our losses
the best way we can-they will tell you so them
selves--we never talk of resumption, that we don't
hear the story repeated for the thousandth time the
Banks can't resume can't pay thar debts until zoe shall
AaUe forward the products Of the country, Sufficient
20 reduce the rate Of exchange to something near par
end put them ads, in metal 10 take uD their notes
Or many of them, at least as are not needed for
circulation. In other wOrds, must get out Of our
&tfeltics the best 0ay can, before they can do aHy
ding for Yet they can continue their present
loans, just well without the emission of a single
additional dollar, if they were allowed to issue
Gfty millions.
Do not all observing men see that prudent banks
Instead Of increasing, are gradually Withdrawing
their circulation? And this policy will be continued
until the god-the proceeds of our CROP are turned
over to them. They viii then give US their notes in
such abundance that we shall all cry out again,
"See what the banks are doing for the country"
We take them upon our backs, booted and spured
and they lash and spur, over hill and mountain
through woods aud sWamps, and when We have got
safely to the end Of our journey. "There, now
sse how necessary it was that you should have a
conductor; see how safely we have carried you
through all your troubles. Come, now, harness
yourselves up to our paper currency carr it is rather
frail it is true, but have good roads now before
