the difficulty 20 head, aud lead to Mr.. Cobbs re-

CONVICTED AND SRNTENoED TO DEArH AFTER
TN YEARS lMPRIsoNMRNT.-Th case of INNS
Copeland, which has been pending for some
ten years, was tried few days since at Augusta
Miss, and resulted In his conviction of murder
in thetirst degree. Copeland was charged Win
killing James A. Harvey, and has been f,nnd
guilty twice before by the juries of the coun-
try; yet, by resortiLg to the law, he has been
enabled to gain trial after trial to the present
time. On the verdict being rendered the JnIae
pronounced upon him the sentence of deatb
ordering him to be executed on FRIDAY the
8Oth day of October. To be hung, after ten
years awful imprisonment in a miserable
country Jail, is rather bard case. The Claws
delay" in his trials has been productive only
of protracted suffering, winding up with an
ignominious death.

Air Poison.

People have often said that no difference can be
detected 10 the analyzation of pure and impure air.
This is one Of the vulgar difficult to dsIodge
from the vulgar brain. The fact is that the con
densed air of crowded room give deposit, which
if allowed to remain few days, forms a solid,
thick, glutinous mass, having strong odor of ami
NAL matter. If examined by the microscope, it is
seen to undergo a remarkable change. First Of
all, it is converted into vegetable growth, and
this is followed by the production of multitudes Of
animalcules; a decisive proof that it must contain
organic matter, otherwise it could not nourish or
ganic beings This was the result arrived at by DR.
Angus Smith in his beautiful experiments on the
Air and Water Of Towns, where he showed how the
lungs and skin gave out organic matter, which is 10
itself deadly poison, producing headache, sick
Eess, disease epidemic according to its strength
Why, if ga few drops OF the liquid matter, obtain

introduced into the vein of dog, can produce al.
the usual phenomena OF typhus fever" what meal
culable evil must not it produce on those human
being who breathe it again and again, rendered
ouler and less capable OF Sustaining life with every
breath drawn? Such contamination Of the air, and
consequent hot bed OF fever and epidemic, it is
easily within the power of to remove. Ven

SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1857.
The Planters, and union Ranks


1t will be seen from the subjoined card
that the Planters and Union Banks Of this
city have suspended specie payments This
step, as in the case of the Bank OF Ten
nessee, has been dictated by wisdom and
sound policy, and will have the effect OF
decreasing the prevailing panic and pres
sure. Both of these Bankssare in solvent
condition, and their notes are as good
now, and will continue to be as good, as
they ever were. Below we give state
ment, from the Cashier, of the condition of
the Planters Bank, from which it will be
seen that, whilst its circulation is only
$666,l4O, it has in gold and silver, and
other cash values, 1882, 1926 IS to redeem
it, A safer and sounder showing cannot
be desired. So well fortified, it would, we
are sure, have given the Directory pleas
ure to have gone on paying specie. and
they would have done so, were there moth
lug more involved than the pride of prompt
ness and punctuality to all obligations, but,
when the interests and welfare of the peo-
pie of Tennessee are put in the scale
against this consideration, they have deem
ed it best to yield:
In consequence of the late general suspensions
of the Banks throughout the Union, and because
of our knowledge Of the utter inability ofthe Banks
of Tennessee to move the products of the country,
or afford any the least facilities to the community
under prevailing circumstances while we continue
as heretofore to pay coin for our uotes, we, the
Union and Planters Banks of Tennessee, have, this
day resolved to suspend temporarily, the payment
of coin for the notes of our respective Banks.

The midnight sun as seen by Rayard
Taylor.


The N. Y. Tribune. of Friday, contains letter
from Bayard Taylor, dated ''Steamer Gyner Arc
tic Ocean, July 27, 1857" We quote passage,
which will be universally read with keen relish:
It was now IL o'clock, and Sverholt glowed in
fiery bronze uster as we rounded IT, the eddies of
returning birds that had been frightened from their
roosts by the firing of the steamers gun, cleaning
golden in the BoctuTal sun, ike drifts OF beech
leaves in the October air. Far to tue north, the
sun lay in a bed of saffron light over the clear
horizon of the Arctic Ocean. A few bars of dszz-
ing orange cloud hoated above him, aud still hgn-
er in the sky where the saffron melted through de-
licate rose-color into blue, hung light wreaths Of
vapor, touched with peary, opaline Pushes OF pink
and golden grey. The sea was like a web OF D Sc
slate color shot through and through with threads
of orange and saffrOD from the dance OF q myriad
shifting and twinkling rpples The air was filed and
permeated with the soft, mysterious glow, and even
the very azure of the southern sky seemed TO shine
through a net of golden gusze. The hesdlands Of
:his deeply indentsd eoast-the eapes OF the Lake
and Porsanger Fiords, aud Of Magefoe-lay around
Us, in different degrees Of distance, but all with
foreheads touched With supernatural glory. Far 10
the northeast was NOFdkYs the northern point
OF the mainland of Europe, cleaning rosily and
faint IN the ful beams OF the sun, AID just our
watches denoted midnight, the North Cape appear
ed TO the westward--a long line Of purple bluff,
prosecuting vertical front of 900 feet IA height
| the Polar Sea. Midway between these two magni-
deent headands STOOD the Midnight Sun, shining oa
as sitn subdued hres, and with the gorgeous color
ing Of an hour for which we have 40 name, since
il is neither sunset nor sunrise, but the blended
| loyeiiness Of 5oth-but shining Sc the same mo-
ment, in tue heat aud speadoF Of MONDAY, on the
Pacific lsles.
This vas the Midnight SUE as Ihad dreamed it,
as had hoped 70 see It.
Nithin fifteen minutes after midnight, there was
perceptibie increase of altitude, aud in less than
halt az hour the whole line Of the SKY had chang
ed the yellos orightang into orange, and the saf-
iron melting into The pale VermibOH OF dsSn. 1et
Il was neither the eooFs the same character Of
