of Breckenridge county. Some of the pearls are
said to be worth little, but the general assortment
is valued at foe dollars pack The gold discoveries
on Pixies Peak turn out to be equally mythical 1t
is reported however, that fifty miles north, on Cherry
Creek. gold is found in considerable abundance
An exploring company declare that if they had
proper apparatus for collecting the gold, each man
could realize $40 per day.
The supposed gold region is thus described in the

The greatest lyric poet living, and the dlstln-
Ruished editor Of the Home Journal has been spoken
of as the Democratic candidate for Congress in the
district now represented by JOHN B. HAsKIN, the
anti-LecOmpton traitor. We sincerely hope that
Gen. NORRIS may receive the nomination. HIS
great personal popularity would secure for him the
largest majority ever given in that district He has
always been true and reliable Democrat, and is
everywhere known as a gentleman Of the highest
ability and scholarly attainments. NOtWithstand-
ing its unreenting hostility to his political senti-
ments, tho New York Tribune pays him the follow
ing hondsome compliment:
Gen Morris would introduce into the debates
what is toe rarely found there, the amenities Of ee-
giant culture, and views Of public questions none
the less statesmanlike or influential because they
would proceed from a mind imbued with something
larger and more humane than the pabulum Of Ordi'
dairy politics

One Of the reporters of the Tribune who had made
himself unpopular with the inOendiaries at Temp
kinsville by a faithful exposure of their damning
deeds on Thursday night, was assaulted in a cow
ardly by some Of the sepoys in that village
on Saturday afternoon just as he was about to take
the boat for New York. They pelted him with stale
eggs, and threw quantity Of -four upon his person.
he quietly remarked that the odor Of the eggs Wss
frank and smelt to Heaven, but it was perfume
compared with the moral stencil which pervaded
the atmosphere Of the town.

From the Memphis Appeal.


We are bappy to announce to the customers who
trade in our CITY, that the Branch Of the Planters
Bank at this point yesterday commenced issuing Its
notes redeemable at its counter here in gold andsi
ver and that hereafter none other Will be issued by
this Branch. These notes may be distinguished
from all others by having stamped across their face
"Redesma5Le at Memphis; n. Weaver, Cashier, and
we understand that the legal liability to rdeem them
here is established in consequence of such stamp
having been ordered by the Board of Directors at
Nashville
This movement reflects credit upon the disCrimi-
nation and intelligence Of those who direct the pol
icy of this Bank and places it at once in the lead Of
sound banking in Tennessee The Union Bank, We
are informed, will adopt similar course, and
it behOOves the State Bank unless its managers are
willing to submit TO the Just anathemas Of the pub
lie, TO come out at the side of sound banks
ing, and make its notes redeemable at the counter
Planters may now feel entire confidence in being
treated to a sound currency when they make their
shipments 10 this point. They can have the coin
when they desire it. and as much of it their pro-
duoe will bring in the market We call upon our
contemporaries, who have been undertaking Memphis
currency to take notice of the change, and govern
| themselves accordingly.
We should in this place repeat, what we have be-
fore stated that the Planters Bank has in fact been
paying specie upon its notes issued here for some
time past. Now il is $50 nominated in the bond "
We have also been shown some new Bank of Chat
/ tanooga notes, similarly stamped in bcld letters
across the face with the word pad IN coin at the
/ Bank Of Memphis" These notes are paid out and
redeemed at the counter by the Bank of Memphis,
and are to all intent and for all purposes good
as counter notes of a Memphis Bank. Thus all the
sound solvent institutions are coming up to the
specie standard inaugursted by the Planters Bank,
and the time is near at hand when only notes thus
certainly and readily convertible into specie, will
| pass IS currency. From this time Memphis will
date new epoch of material progress in wealth and
| solid property.
