What has been Decided.

The GAINESVILLE JefersonidH, no longer in
timidated by the fear of popular disapproval,
thus boldly admits that Gov. HARRIS is zone
of the most radical and extreme Of all ami Bank
men, and pronounces the doom of the Union
and Planters Banks:
at is an undeniable fact, which we pre-
sumo few will be disposed to question, that
the reforms in our system of banking, propos-
ed by the Democratic party, was one of the
leading points of difference between the two
parties. The Democratic party contending
that the security of the holders of Bank notes
required that additional restrictions and safe
guards should be thrown around the Banks,
and that in all future charters the Legisla-
ture should reserve to itself and all future
Legislatures the power to alter or abolish
them il the public interests required it.
This issue was made, perhaps, the most
prominent of any in the canvass. The Oppo-
sition staked their success upon the question
of the re-chaIter of the Planters and Union
Banks, with little or no modification Of their
present charters. Upon that issue they fought
the fight, and though backed and assisted by
all the .nfrence which those two great insti-
tutions could bring 10 bear, they have been
defeated and elwhelmed. The Democratic
candidate for Governor, one of the most rad
ical and extreme OF all anti-Bank men, is re.
elected by one of the largest majorities ever
received by any candidate for Governor IN
Tennessee, aud the people have sent up ma
jority OF Democrats to each branch OF the
Legislatures; thus giving us the control of the
legislation OF the next session, and the eou-
troll VI the currency question"

@ A correspondent of the Troy Time.
gives the following narrative of an occur
renee at Shrewsbury Lake, VT, as coming
under his own observation
The lake is noted now on account of the
death of a young man, a conductor on the
Rutland and Burlington Railroad, who was
drowned in it short time ago. At the time,
he and several others were playing rocking
the boat, making it "dip water" when I'M
luckily they were all swamped, and this young
man, the best swimmer in the lot, drowned.
After long and almost hopeless search after
the body, very novel idea was suggested,
which after trial proved successful in leading
to the discovery of his whereabouts.
About three ounces OF Quicksilver were put
into loaf of brown bread, well baked, and
thrown out into the lake. The loaf was dis
covered 10 move directly against the tcind !;
soon 1t stopped, whirled round several times
and sunk. They Immediately rowed TO the
place and threw out the grapplers; the first
time they hooked his ear, the second time the
hook fastened to his boot, and he was hauled
into the boat. Where he was found the water
was 20 feet deep. In his pockets were large
silver watch and considerable gu antity of
silver money, which caused the attration of
the quicksilver, and led 10 the discovery of
his watery grave. The accident, place. and
singular circumstances connected with the
sad affair render IL remarkable.

valnable surgieaI pi.eorery.


The Paris correspondent of the New York
Express gives the following account of val
liable discovery, destined to effect great
amelioration in the treatment of ulcers, abb
cesses, flesh wounds, &C.:
At the last sitting of the Academy of Sci
ences, the celebrated DIR. Velpease demanded
permission to make an important communi-
cation, and announced that theftwo young
practitioners in question, Messrs. Corrae and
Demeaux. had paid him a visit tor the pur-
pose of presenting to bis notice their discov-
cry and explaining 10 him its results. Messrs.
Corme and Demeaux have found a process for
the complete and instantaneous disinfection
of animal matter The action of the disin-
fecting agent arrests the progress of deeom-
position. and effectually prevents the genera
ton of insects. The substance prepared for
use. costs here about one franc for a hundred
pounds, and the expense in America would
probably be still less. The following is the
formula as given by the inventors them
selves.
Plaster of commerce, reduced to a fine
powder, 100 parts; coal tar, one to three
parts. The mixture of the two substances is
effected with ease by the aid of a mortar, or
by any other appropriate mechanical means.
The application of this composition to the
dressing of sores or wounds requires par
ticular preparation. A certain quantity of
the powder, prepared according TO the form
ula, is diluted with olive oil to the con- isten-
cy of paste or ointment. This species OF
paste or salve is of dark brown color, has a
slightly biiuminous oder, and may be kept in
closed jar for an indefinite period. The oil
unites the powder without dissolving it, and
the compositiA has the property of absorb
ing infectious liquids the instant it is applied
to the sore which produces them. The appli-
cation may be mediate or immediate. In the
latter case. that is to say, placing the compo-
sition directly in contact with the sore, no
pain whatever is produced; on the contrary,
the salve has defensive action, cleanses the
sore and favors cicatrisation.

@rThe Somerville Democrat of the 18th
inst. takes decided ground for DOUGLAS. con
sidering him the only available candidate the
Charleston Convention can present to the
country The Democrat thinks there are three
things needful to insure democratic success:
Ist, harmonizing of the party; End. the re-
adoption of the Cincinnati Platform without
innovations or interpretations; and Sd, the
nomination of the right man. And DOUGLAS,
it considers, is 1.-The right man." 1t says it
is as plain as day that with DOUGLAS the de-
mocracy can win the victory, and without
him. defeat is certain. We now have three OF
the party journals in this State favoring and
advocating the nomination of DOUGLAS at
Charleston. the Memphis appeal, Grand juno
ton O,ad Aty,c and the Somerville Democrat.
There will be others Of the same mind as the
time approaches, and we have little doubt,
but that DOUGLAS is the strongest man of the
party with the Tennessee Democracy.
