Nashville Trade.

Nashville is at this time one of the most
important trading points in the South, and is
every season growing in Importance. Its
growth and Improvement during the last few
years have been wonderful indeed, and those
who are in the habit of paying annual or semi
annual visits to the city at each visit struck
with surprise at its rapid commercial strides.
As a Dry Goods Market il is the best, perhaps,
South of Philadelphia, while, as a Grocery
Market, it is equal, if not superior. to any
North of New Orleans. 1t is also rapidly
becoming great Manufacturing as well as
Commercial city.
In short, Nashville is great mart where
any and everything can be bought to supply
country merchants, and on terms rs favorable
as any other market North or Sonth.
AS an evidence of the Integrity and wisdom
of her merchants, it is only necessary to state
that while thousands of business men in Other
cities were failing during the late monetary
crisis, those of Nashville stood firm as a rock
and came out unscathed, like gold tried in the
crucible. Their business being founded on
solid capital, wisely managed, they were
enabled to Withstand the terrible shock
before which so many went by the board.
Success, say we, to the commercial pros
perity of Nashville. H4ntsoiILe Ladepe1ldent

Once more view those hailowsd walls Of old,
That hath within their realms tales OF mirth untold
With Mingled JOY, aud sadness do gaze, ASS n
Upon the scenes Of my once happy days,
The OF youth the scenes OF boyhood's hours,
That booned ove, and lived aud died. like flowers,
The scenes that allied my buoyant heart with Joy,
when wandering forth wild and reckless boy.
Tie stream where OF I've viewd my childish face,
still rpples on Ia all IL Joys and grace,
And calls back Thoughts, 10 memry held most dear,
- one by orr, they passed from month 70 year,
That brave Old oak beneath whose bougls I've played
still, a. OF yore, lets tai as cooling shade
And gently still the aged branches bend,
As ihroasni's leaves sweet srcezes softly blend.
The ivy too, beyond the cottage door, oN
sta kindly wells my chamber DER;
And lingering sunb,aras golden light doth cast,
Celestial shadows, where youths dreams have passed
That grown porch, upon whose steps Eve stood
Aud watched the sun descend behind yon wood,
And gAzcd in wosder with nay youthful eyes,
Al lights and shadows. s, lingering IN the skys-

Our Senators.

We copy below the report by the Washing
ton Union, of the conclusion of the debate
between our Senators i'm Congress ON the In
structing Resolutions. 1t occurred on the
Path uit., in the Senate. We must again say,
that Mr.. BELL manifests the strongest perver-
sity of judgment we have ever known in a
public man of his prominence. when he denies
that the Nebraska bill was principal issue in
the canvass Of 1855. We grant that Know
Nothingism was the leading subject of contre-
versy in that canvass. But no man can have
forgotten that Mr. BELL refused to join that
organization; and that, so FAR as he was con-
cerned, the issue was direct upon his course on
the Nebraska bill.-Cnioa and American.
We understand this as an affirmation that
the ansas-Nebraska bill was principal is
sue in the canvass of 1856" 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the editor who makes it, has
the proof at hand to verify it. That canvass
opened at Murfreesboro on the first of May OF
that year. The opening speech of Gov. JOHN
SON was published in the Union and american.
Now, we challenge that paper to show, from
it's own files, in its own reports, or in its cor
respondence during the progress of the can
vass or in its editorials, where and when the
Kansas-Nebraska bill was made a principal Is
cue, from the beginning to the end of that can
vass. 1t must either furnish the proof, or adj
NIT that it has mis-stated the fact
The Union and american says that Mr.. BELL
refused to join the Know Nothing organization.
and that, so far as be was concerned, the issue
was direct upon his course on the Nebraska
bill But the records of this period show thai
fhara wos No isslLe between the American and
Democratic parties on the Nebraska bill; and
instead of the democrats getting up an outside
issue with Mr.. BELL, on that subject, one OF
the ablest democratic speakers in that canvass,
was actually holding up to the people the
course of JOHN BELL, in refusing to join the
Know Nothings, as admirable and praisewor-
thy.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY. March 8. 1853.

WEDNESDAY, March 8, 1858.
Mr.. Beale presented memorial from citi-
zens of Williamson in favor of the County
Judge law, and Mr.. Thompson two memorials
against it.
Mr.. Davie enquired for the report of the
Joint Select Committee to investigate the
Bank of Tennessee.
Mr. Turner, of Sumner, said the committee
were waiting for replies to unanswered inter-
rogatories addressed to the Bank Directors.
After some further conversation.
Mr.. Rowles offered a resolution requesting
the Committee to report the facts ascertained
at as early day as possible. and to report to
the House any unanswered interrogatories
which they had propounded to the Directors.
Mr.. Rowles said. in the course of his re-
marks on the resolution, that lone of the
organs of the American party [alluding to
the Baanerl has arraigned that institution"
1.-THE Bank of TENNESSEE and was against
those who were for sustaining the Bank of
Tennessee and opposed to metallic curren-
cy.''
1.-THE gentleman from Bradley (Mr Rowles)
has fallen into an error here, in his anxiety,
perhaps, to strengthen the Bank bill by lit
tie sympathy on the ground that the press is
against it. The Banner has opposed the eX-
tension of the State debt for any purpose not
Indispensable in carrying on the government
and discharging its obligations, aud hence it
opposed the bill to increase the capital of the
State Bank by an issuance of 81, 100000 State
bonds. The editor of the Banner sees no oc-
casion to arraign the Bank of Tennessee, and
does not expect to, at least until it escapes
from the hands of the political friends of its
managers in the Legislature, who are evidently
disposed to arraign it quite strictly enough
EDITOR BANNER.l
Mr.. Rowles' resolution was adopted.
The resolution to amend the rules, offered
by Mr. Rowles, was rejected. tr s fr
Resolution for the relief of Larkin Cardin,
appointing Commission to report at the next
Legislature, was adopted.
Senate resolution declaring the States LA
bility for the issues of the State Bank, was
adopted after discussion. r M
Mr.. Davidson moved to suspend the rule re-
quiring unanimous consent to take up the
Bank Bill. Lost.

From Washington.
Correspondence of the I'hiladctphia Press

Correspondence Of the Philadelphia Press
WASHINGTON, Feb.'y "a, 1858.
The town is filed with rumors from your
city that discovery has been made that
twenty-five thousand dollars were paid to a
gentleman who held high position under the
late Administration, which position enabled
him to exercise a controlling influence i'll Sc
curing the purchase of the property in Second
street. for post-ofiice. This matter has as
sumed such u definite shape that the stock
holders should demand an investigation by
the proper authorities. The property was
sold to the Unitcd States for two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, (S25000O), and we un-
derstand that competent judges say that at no
time would that property have brought a
greater amount than one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, (Sl50, 000)
An ex-member of Congress from your State
in his sumptuous apartments at one of our
leading hotels, is said to be doing prosper
ous business selling his influence for offices

The fact is, renegades to principle cause
more trsuble than out aud out foes THESE
STATIONS, and WALKERS, and DOUG
I.ASES are the ones Southern men have most
to fear but lesson taught now and then
.. C., principles, not men-have II tendency to
keep oil right in the long run.
We clip the above from the Washington
Correspondence of the Montgomery (Ala.)
.idrertiser, the central organ of the sham demo-
cracy of Alabama How long has il been
since STANTON, WALKER, and DOUGLAS were
bright and shining lights in the sham demo
cratic camp? They have been until recently
recognised chieftains, TO whose skirts the most
orthodox might cling. Are they any worse
men-any less reliable political leaders now
Are they any less worthy of the conf
dence of Southern men than the mass of
the leaders of their party! Have not the
great chiefs of the enemies Of the South bern
recruited from the sham democracy. Bn,SEY,
HALE, VAN BUREN,, CHASE, Fremont, formerly,
and now BLAIR, DoUaLAs, STANTON, and WALK
Err, were all reared in the sham democratic
party. They have all, in their day, been re-
garded as trusty men. in whom the South
might repose unlimited faith. When these
men, and scores of their kind, are constantly
deceiying and betraying the South, is IL mol
time for her TO begin to investigate the causes
and ascertain If they are not TO be found in
the principles and policy of the pariy-or In
its organization, which is regarded by numer-
Gus candid, thinking men, n Of the mort cor
rupting nature? An organization 5eld To-
gether by the attraction of .'pablle plumber y
must necessarily breed dcgeneracy in the ha-
man heart demoralize and snbdue the best at
tributes of mans nature; and we must ex
pect to find constantly recurring examples
& the leaders of the party. The South should
trust her cause TO no such organization.

Andrew Johnson as a Senator.

The speech of ANDREW JOHNSON, in reply
to the remarks of Mr. BELL. on presenting the
resolutions of the Tennessee Legislature. is
very fair index of his character. He is pol
itician in the most contracted and odious
sense of that term. 1t seems wholly impossi-
bic that he should rise to the dignity Of
statesman or the decencies of his position.
There was nothing in the remarks Of Mr.. BELL
TO Justify the malignant personal and vituper-
alive TRADE with which Mr.. JOHNSON replied.
1t appears to have been prepared for use last
summer, when that gentleman and some of
his friends were so eager to carry on the con-
troversy from the stump. 1t abounded in
those peculiar appeals that were wont to
characterize his poorest and most disgraceful
efforts at the hustings. 1t contained the body
and substance of his political faith. faith
based upon the lowest prejudices, and sus-
tanned by the lowest demogoguery. 1t was
an out pouring of all his bottled wrath to-
wards Mr.. BELL, and in tone and spirit indi-
Gated desire to array one class of the COM
munity against another. We give a single
specimen of his speech, where he represents
himself as a working man, and seeks to fix
the odious brand of aristocracy upon Mr..
BELL
"But my honorable colleague, some how or
other-I was going to say in covering IA re-
treat on this subject, and apologizing or ex-
cusing his position-lugs in the idea of slave
ry and makes the remark q will not infer
that he intends anything by i) that he has
great and deep interest in slaves and intim..tcs
that he may be relied upon more than one
who has not quite such deep interest Ii
slaves l can only speak for myself Mr. Pres
dent will not say that his insinuation or
his alIusion was to me. l have not got many
slaves; have got few; but | made them by
the industry of these hands. Can the Sena-
tor say as much? What own cost me more
labor and toll than some who own thousands,
and got them because they were the SOUS of
moneyed people
Snch appeals incommunicably mean
have had their desired effect in this State, aud
he now seeks to make them avail him in the
Senate of the United States OF course he
is not silly enough to suppose that there was
any Senator present, who would not scorn
such vindication; but it was intended for
others. Mr.. JOHNSON, we venture to say
cares very little whether he may entitle him
self to the respect of the Sentative rather
think he would prefer the contempt OF that
body-provided his Interior views were adj
vanced thereby. We make no complaint that
Mr. JOHNSON shas not got many slaves; or
that he 'has got few; or that he "made
them by the industry of these hands" But il
il to the time and place and manner and pur-
pose of blazoning these facts. What had they
to do with the debate. OF what interest were
they to the Senate! If he can humbug the
people here at home in this way. why should
he attempt the same thing upon Senator's
Can he not, by any means, rise, even tempo
rarily, above the base arts Of the demagogue!
