A Coon LAw.-By an act of the Legis-
lature, the various branches of the Tennes-
see Banks are prohibited from paying out
any other than their own bills. This will
stop the discreditable practice that has pre-
vailed among the branches of exchanging
bills payable at one branch with the
branches most remote from it, to be paid
out where it would be most difficult to get
them home for the specie. In this way the
people around one branch could get no
notes except those of branches several hun
dred miles off, and as one branch would not
redeem the notes of another, they had for
years, virtually and practically, an unre-
deemable currency. BY restricting each
branch TO the use of its notes, the people of
each section will get the notes of their own
bank, on which they can call for the specie.
Such a law would do good in. other States.

PENNSYLVANIA PoLITIcs.-A second Dem
ocratic State Convention, has been called to
meet at Harrisburg on the 18th of April, to
consult upon the propriety ofadopting meas
ures to vindicate the name fame and prir-
ciplc of the Democratic party, which
have been outraged and insulted by
the Convention at the State capital
on the 10th of March to resist the high
handed attempt of the Federal Administra-
ton to dictate political creeds to the people;
to protest against the war of consolidated
federal dispotism upon State sovereignty
and State rights; to re-assert the great prin-
ciple of popular sovereignty and non-inter-
vention, as well in Territories as in the
States, non-intervention by Congress with
Slavery in the Territories, and the non-in-
tervention by the Federal Executive with the
franchises of the people of the State; TO re-
indorse the old-fashined creed of the DEM
ocratic party, repudiated and trampled un-
der foot by men claiming to represent the
party and finally to proclaim unfaultering
confidence in w. F. Packer, Governor Of
Pennsylvania, who has been assailed and
prescribed, because he refused, at the bidd-
ding of Federal dictation to be:ray the trust,
and desert the principles, and falsify the
pledges of the. Union State Rights Democra-

PAINFUL SUIcIDE.--Mr. Charles Watson
brother and partner of Messrs J. & R. Wat
son, large coal contractors to steamships and
others at New Orleans, committed suicide al
Louisville, on Wednesday morning. He
was found in a room adjoining his office
suspended by the neck to a rope which he had
fastened to rafter. No reason can be con,
ceived for the act, as the frmswas rich and
successful in business, and the deceased wa:
only about 80 years old, and recently mar
ried to young wife, the daughter of q
wealthy planter in Madrid Bend, to whom
he appeared devotedly attached. She has
recently been dangerously i'll, and his anx.

A TRAGEDY-Two citizens of jackson,
Mississippi, were engaged in playing cards
last week, in which one of them, by the
name of Bibb, lost to his opponent, named
Ford, a sum of money exceeding $780,
Suspicious of unfairness were entertained,
and high words ensued, during which Ford
drew knife and made some threats. which
were not responded to by Bibb. Bibb left
the place, armed himself with a double
barreled shotgun, and stationed himself in
store. Ford was advised of the fact that
Bibb was probably awaiting him, and re-
piled that, "if he could shoot quicker than
he (Ford) he was welcome" or words to
that effect, and passed the place where Bib
was stationed, when the latter fred, killing
Ford instantly. Pord's pistol went off while
he was in the act of falling. Bibb was ar

Letters from Washington say, that Mr..
Holt is cutting off all unnecessary expen-
ditures. He is dismissing all the special
agents of the Department. He was told
that one of them was brother to Squatter
Bright, and another, recently appointed by
the President; but the axe fell, nevertheless.
He said, as they had nothing to do, it was
immaterial who made their appointments.
Another letter says Hollis reforms in cut
ting down special agencies and other excres-
ences, have dissatisfied many of the faith
fuI. Bright, whose brother was decapitat-
ed, is fierce. Bull, who was recently ap-
pointed at the instance of the President is
among the number. =

The SLAVE TRADE IN FLoRIDA.-A st.
Augustine correspondent of the New York
Times, says that the African. slave trade is
carried on at the South to an extent not
generally suspected. 1t is rumored that
two cargoes have been landed on the Gulf
Coast of Florida, and that more of the same
sort are coming. The bark Ardanos, the
captain of which was arrested in Jackson
vile some time since, finally sailed from that
port with American papers, and is now well
known to be filed with African stock either
for Cuba or this coast. Other vessels are
known to be engaged in the same business.
If the slave trade is not in reality re-opened
at this time, the indications are that it soon
will be, and continued until the present de-
mand is satisfied.

UYFlvoaABLE REpoRrs FROM PtKE'sPEAK.

UNF1voRABLE REPORTS FROM PtKE'sPEAK.
Edward Brookfeld, late Mayor of Nebraska
City, who went out in the autumn to Pixies
Peak for gold, writes back to a friend a
very unfavorable account of the prospects
for adventures He says his impressions are
that the mines Care id humbug." He
would like to write differently for his own
sake and to encourage his friends to come
out and join him. He adds:
Where we are wintering is about twenty
miles north of the mouth of Cherry Creek,
and in Canon at the foot of the Rocky
Mounts, or Black Hills. We have found
here the best quality of gold that has been
discovered, and cannot make one dollar per
day. Billy Moore, Tom, and myself, are
working together. We have built good
dam across the creek, and have our long Tom
set, 1.-THE only Long Tom that is set and
worked in the country.) 1t works beauti-
| fully-so the old Californians say. There
are six old miners in our settlement. don't
think that there is another company that
came here last fall who have done more
| work, or have done more extensive pros
pecting than we. We have prospected for
some twenty miles SOuLn Oh tne mouth OI
Cherry Creek, to the neighborhood of Long s
Peak, north. Besides, we have prospected
as far into the mountains as We could get
on account of snow. ti y nlt T314
The only hope that i have now is, that,
when spring comes, we may find something
to pay us in the mountains. Should we be
so fortunate, will Immediately write you.
A large number of the miners were leav-
ing for home, and he says, were it not for
the dread of the cold weather, and the hope
that we may discover something in the
| spring, / have no doubt but that nearly the
whole camp would leave for home.
4a- Wo were quite surprised a few days since
when we read the golden accounts in the
Missouri river, papers, of what the minors
are doing ont here. I pronounce them a
pack of lies, written and reported back, by
a set ofone horse town spectators, and are
calculated to ruin many poor devil besides

anything turn up, will inform you, and

BeA. The London Daily News publishes a
long and remarkable letter addressed by
Sgnor Farimi, the Italian historian and
statesman, to Lord John Russell on the Ital-
ian question 1t declares that the question
at issue between Sardinia and Austria is not
d question of reform in one State of Italy or
another, nor is it sentimental question of
nationality. 1t is duel of two contending
principles and a question of life, of bread,
of house and home for thousands of exiled
and suffering men. 1t is not SO much po-
litical as a merely humane question. He
hopes England will join France in securing
the cause OF Italian progression. a

n@. The Rev. Mr.. Jackson, the Methodist
clergyman, who made so great sensation
by his ELOQUENT sermons in New York city,
last month, has returned to Vincennes, and
will remain there short time before as
suming the duties of his new pastoral charge
in Philadelphia.
We have heard an anecdote from an au-
thentic source, which illustrates the power
of Mr.. Jackson's preaching. An Illinois
land operator was a casual attendant at Mr..
Jacksons church while a visitor at Vim
cennes, one Sabbath, last autumn. The
stranger was observed to be very intent
and devout listener On Monday he called
upon the minister, and during the interview
he inquired of him if he had any land; the
answer was Nol He observed that all
preachers in Illinois were provided with
forty or an eighty acre tract, as an asylum
in case of infrmity and old age, and-say-
ing to Mr.. Jackson that so good a preacher
as he ought not to be left landless-invited
him to come out to illinois, and told him if
he could bring with him hundred dollars
he would provide him with good eighty
acre tract. With 800, raised by his par
ishioners, the preacher made the visit. He
found the gentleman a resident in popu-
lous.and highly eligible section of country,
with large landed possessions scattered
through the country. The preacher was
taken to choice eighty acre field, under
good fence, and told that that had been Sc
lected for him; but, if he desired, he could
choose from plot of a dozen others any
one that suited him better. The delighted
minister exclaimed, that he asked no better
heritage than that which had been allotted
to him. He paid his $lOO-being Govern
ment price for the land--and received his
deed. At the moment the deed was exc
cuted to Mr.. Jackson, the DONOR or vender,
| could have taken $40 an acre for the tract
in cash. He enjoined it upon Mr. Jackson
to keep it for his children, telling him that
in less than ten years the land would be
worth more per acre than the sum he had
given for the entire tract. Such acts of
| generosity are worthy of record.

The INCREASING Power OF CABINET

has been conquered by his Cabinet, and
forced to yield his determination TO call an
extra session of Congress. Having once
submitted to the dictation of his counsel
lors, his authority ass President, it is said,
has departed from him. he will, for the fu-
ture, be nothing but the plant agent of the
Cabinet conclave. The st. Louis RepubH-
GAIA good Democratic sheet-says:
The truth of the matter is, the |" Cabinet
is rapidly usurping powers never contem-
plated by the Constitution, sand wholly un-
warranted by law.ii When the President
chooses to ask the advice of either of his
Secretaries he shonld be privileged tc do so,
ard the advice should be honestly given;
but these regular and stated meetings of the
Secretaries, known as g Cabinet meetings"
with view to, Joint control of the whole
administration of the Federal Government
is subversion of our system, and misera-
BILE aping of the Roman Decemyirate. 1t
is a fact, strange as it may appear in these
days of 'sCabinet meetings." that the Hon.
Mr.. Badger, of North Carolina, when Sec
retary of the Navy, .persistently refused to
attend any of these consultations, but noti-
| fed the President that whenever he desired
his advice or views on any subject, it would
| afford him great pleasure to present them.
On the other hand, when Mr.. Addison, of
Georgetown, asked President Taylor why
he did not give him the appointment he had
promised him, %hat good old man replied

Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over a large part of the
globe is the consequences of diseased action in the
system, induced by the poisonous miasm of yegela-
Bile decay. This exhalaton is evolved by the ac-
tion of solar'heat wet soil, and rises with the
watery vapoI from it. While the is below the
horizon this vapor fingers the eartls surface,
and the virus is taken with it through the lungs
into the blood There it acts as an Irritating poi
son the internal viscera and excretng organs of
the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tiena disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach synpathize with the liver, aud becom

ism, if i'll au attempt to expo the noxions infu-

the internal excretories to force them to cast

the FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the
central organs and rushes to the surface as if in

it fails, and the system abandons the attempt ex
