THE TENNESSEE BANK ROBBERY.

4 dispatch from Jackson, Tenn, says that
Miller, the cashier of the bank, who was muir.
dered. received two blows on the head with a
slcdre.hammer, which scattered his brains in
every direction. 1t is thought the murderer was
some person ofhigh standing, who had induced
the cashier to open the doors after business
hours; and from the position in which the VIC
tim was found, it is supposed he was making out
q check for the murderer. The amount Of mon0y
stolen was 500, $50 in notes and S4,545 in gold.

The Shoe and Leather Bank, when heid
about Il, 900, 900 city funds, called in about

the city government. A small city 6 per cent.
loan ($aoo. ooO) was taken last week at about
1919 a l02.
The new government loan sold yesterday at
1929. Unless an advance can be sustained
SUCCESSFUL bidders for the late loan will prove
to be unfortunate takers.
Of the new loan. Mr.. Cisco, the sub.treasu-

We arc informed by the President of one of
the leading Banks hat the increase in loans is
more apparent than real. lie states that the
loans made on Government securities have IN
creased, while those made TO merchants, and on
business paper, have in many cases materially
diminished. The large decrease in the amount
Of spccic, is accounted for, in part, by the with
drawals to meet payments for the Government
loans, and to pay duties on imported goods,
which were very heavy last week. The sub
treasury, during the week, has gained near a
million Of dollars, and the sum held now
amounts to SIS, lO3, $40, against $7,23O.OOO for
the same period the previous week. The
changes in the banks Of this city for three pre-
vious weeks may be seen from the following Ia

r An Englishman, who has re-
Gently visited Richmond, writes to the
New York Spirit of the Times that
personal observation on the subject Of
Slavery, as it exists in Virginia, has
altered many of his forraer opinions.
He found the slaves much happier,
much better cared for, and much freer
from care than he expected to find
them, and thinks their situation viii
compare favorably With that of whole
classes IN Europe for whom no particu-
lar sympathy is expressed by many
modern philanthropisis.

The FINEGAR-FAcED GENTRY
There is class of men in every COM
munity, who go about with vinegar
faces, because somebody feels above
them, or because they are not apprecia-
ted as they should be; and who have a
constant quarrel with what they call
destiny. Wehate such people. They
are q naisa.Rce and a pest. They make
Ill within their influence uncomforta-
bic. These men hare usually made a
grave mistake il the estimate of their
abilities, or are unsnitigated asses.
Whenever this lt-6nding with ones
condition or position occurs, there is
always want of self respect. If You
are right down clever fellow, wash
the worm-wood off your face, and show
your good will BY your good deeds. If
people feel above yon,n why return
the compliment and feel above them.
If they turn up their noses because YOU
are mechanic or a farmer, or a clerk.
turn up your noses a notch higher. Ii
they swell when they pass you in the
street swell yourself. Deliver as from
the whining fools who go around like
babies telling how folks abuse them,
and whining because society viii not
take them blythe collar and drag them
into decency.

" A Ma convinced against his viii,
Is of the same opinion still.
Last week we took occasion to come
down upon the evils of negro preach
ing giving our views upon this prac-
tee, aad practice which we look upon
as an evil aud unnecessary one. As
we predicted, the voice of dissession
was raised against us, for daring to
attach such a would-be adviserer of
public morals, and dissemiaator of re-
ligion. We care net what multitudes
may say in favor of negro preaching,
we look upon it as an unnecessary
evil, and one that is calculated to not
even palate the workings of its own
wrongs. No community, in the South
at least, should countenance such, for
it is calculated to infuse an unjust
idea against the true merits of the
Church.
We donot wish is enlarge upon this
subject, or even point out more minute
ly or accurately, the demerited de-
generacy of this practice, which we
please to term an odious and obnoxious
one. To those who view the matter
in different light from what we do
we shall not attempt to dictate to them
or their opinions. But at the same
time, we claim our inalienable right
of the free assertion of our opinion
upon all subjects, and shall use that
right whenever we see proper--pro
bono Pnblico. There is general pre-
valent and bigoted idea assumed, that
no one has right to denounce an evil,
should it be cloaked behind the term
Of " church though it stalk before
the public eye, in broad day light. Sin
may go unwhipt Of justice, provided
it can screen itself behind the pulpit.
I" Vinegar-faced gentry may preach
this doctrine to US, butt fails to make
an impression upon our mind, for we
look apon it as a false doctrine, and
not calculated to stand close inspee-
ton. Whit we said in our last issue,
in regard to Negro Preaching, we yet
hold as true and just, nor shall we
swerye fromthat position--we think We
are right, so wen venture on.

less all laws prohibiting the importa-
