MOTHERS BANK OF TENNEssEE.-This is one Of
TIE banks whose notes we noticed as being thrown
out az the Bank of Tennessee, on Monday last We
are informed and requested to state that this money
has not been refused at any other bank. The Bank
of Nashville was originally the agent of the North
ern Bank at this place, and the officers of the State
Bank not being of the change of agency, very
properly refused to receive its notes af the sus
pension ef the Bank of Nashville The Northern
Bank isregarded entirely reliable, and its notes
are taken a par By aHthe banks.
SusPFNsLss. 1t is currently reported in banking
circles 4lrEss4he Bank of Trenton and Exchange
Bank tfresj7sHd the Shelbyvile Bank CstOck, have
suspended. There is very little doubt of the truth
of this4eport.
LAwBENcEBURG BANK.-The Cashier of this bank
arrived in the city day before yesterday, as an
nO1peesajp the morning papers, but the "wagOp
loaf-tf g6Yd' did not come The notes are refused
at al<fhe banks.
--I314tF OF NAsHvILLE.-A statement Of the con.
dition of this bank will be found in our columns
this morning To a man unacquainted with the
mysteries of bank-crsft it looks as if there could
be no doubt of the ability of that institution to dis
charge all lis obligations and still leave handsom,
surplus to the stockholders When we look at IN,
disastrous consequences, not only to the bank anC
its customers and note-hoders, but to the credit
the State and the entire banking interests of tn
oity we are surprised that the other banks did no
come forward, upon such showing as the one W
publish this morning, and furnish the means L
sustain its credit. To us, we say, it seems strange
but We are not initiated into the secrets of the
and our opinion is therefore worth abont as much
bank-bin now a-days, and that is just what it wi
pass for.

of interest on the State Company bonds, exchange

1t is estimated that the nett earnings of the road
for the first year, will reach $3.50 000 and for the
second $500, 000--sums sufficient it is estimated to
reduce the floating debt to $09 946 49, after paying

the amount of profits thus withheld be made up to
