BANK OF TENNESSEE.

OCTOBER ls, 1857.
DEAa sIR: The suspension of specie payment by
the Bank of Tennessee, should produce change in
the business of your Branch except more caution in
your discounts: your business should not be enlarg
ed in consequence of it. The safest rule to adopt in
the discount Of notes. win be tolmit it to your week
ly receipts, and to purchase bills which are not
designed to remove theproducs Of the State to their
proper market They should be of short date, re-
curing in all cases such security as viii ensure
their payment mere, if they should be returned dis
honored The present arrangement in the trade of
the country win not justify in relying accept
anees of Banks or individuals in other States.
In your discounts, let your customers understand
distinctly that payment viii be required at maturity
This should be your general rule but your Board of
Directors should be careful not to Oppress unneces
slriy the citizens dealing with you, allowing them
in all cases of necessity only to part pay
their debts.
Your Branch must be kept constantly in condi-
ton to resume specie payments the moment it is
done in the Northern and Southern cities with which
we deal.
To enable you to do so when required, you will be
expected to strengthen your Branch by the addition
of gold and silver as you maJ be able conveniently
to obtain it.
You viii not permit your precious metals to go in
to the hands of Brokers or money dealers under any
circumstances whatever.
To such of your citizens may neei small sums
for the purpose of change trading expenses, you
will accommodate upon the presentment Of your
notes, as if no suspension had taken place.
Your Branch will be expected be kept in a cOndi
ton not less favorable for the resumption of specie
payments than at the time when suspension took
place.
You will not fail to forward us weekly statements
of your discounts as heretofore.

BOARDING.

The Albany Evening Journal says:
snow is the time when gold dollars are hid in old
socks Now is the time when sixpences are tucked
away in snub nosed tea pots. Now money is laid By
in cupboards-for mice to nibble; thrust into cor.
ners- for thieves to rummsge carried in wallets
Cor pckpockets TO grab at hid behind the wood
Eork-for the next generation to find and buried
in the ground to be lost and forgotten Now men
frantic to draw cash out Of safe places and put
1t in unsafe ones. Now poor families lose five per
cent. for the privilege Of having their savings
where they will keep them awake Of nights. Now
farmers hang up deposits in the shot pouch behind
the door; housewives sew up gold pieces in their
skirts, and travellers weigh themselves down with
body belts of coin. Now the Improbable servant
who hid his talent in a napkin is csnonized into
blight and shining scripturat example, while those
who put their money TO the Exchangers' are looked
slspIcously upon, as rash spectators in Jewish
fancy stocks. Now all money is distrusied but such
as can be heard to chink. Now men privily put all
their cash under lock and key, and then publicly
lament that it has ceased to circulate. Now men
with full pockets refuse either to pay their debts or
TO forgive their debtors. Now the butcher must
wait aud the baker must 60 unpaid, and the printer
must be put off for the nineteenth time. The era
of boarding has come round again withall its blind
uureasoniug fears, and all its sefimposed curses Of
poverty, idleness, distrust, and decay"
