The Excitement.

The excitement in Virginia, in the
neighborhood of the recent outbreak,
seems to be increasing as the time for the
execution of the maraudcrs approaches.
We copy below a few dispatches: ID.
Garlesto,cn. Va, Nov. l9.-There is
great excitement on account of several
fires, supposed to have been set by Browns
rcscuers. Troops were sent for, but sub
sequently the inhabitants concluded that
the fires were accidental, and blame Col
Davis, for precipitately sending for troops
Another despatch, at later hour of
the same date says:
All is quite, but the military forces are
augmenting.
The barns and stock yard implements
amounting to several thousand dollars,
belonging to John Burns, George II. Tate
and Mr. Shirley, all Jurors at the recent
trials have been burned.
The Hon. Alexander Hunter expresses
his conviction, that a rescue of the pris-
oners will be attempted.
a letter from Urbanna, Ohio, address
sed to Brown, in cipher, has been de-
ciphered.
1t tells him to keep in good spirits, that
his friends are mastering, and will drop
along, one at II time.

Executive Mansion. This is step we
should like TO see carried out The sala-

Commonwealth is insignificant, and that
officer, unless he happens to be citizen
of Nashville, or its vicinity, has to choose
between separation from his family
through his term of office. or submit to
an expense for which the salary is made
quate and which the faithful public SER
want should not be required to incur
We beliere the people of Tennessee would
heartily approve the purchase and furnish

HEAVY Loss.-The greatest sufferer pc.
cuniarily by the fire at Atlanta last week,
was Mr.. VIM. Markham. His aggregate
loss is estimated at $50, 900. No insurance.
Had Mr.. Markham availed himself of the
securities offered either by the Phoenix,
Etna, or some other responsible Compa-
ny, three-fourths of his heavy loss might
have been avoided. Every one who owns
town property should insure. VIM. G..
Horton is agent at Athens for the Phe-
nix Company, and G. W. Ross for the

Old Brown in Virginia.

The following precious newspaperism is
copied from the New York Herald of tho
18th.
"Od Bropn" as Virginia Presidential
Hobby WISE Us. Hmtcr.-We publish to-
day two very curious Virginia newspaper
articles on "Old Brown"-one from the
Clarke county journal, published in the
neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, Hun
ter organ; and the other from the Rich-
mond Enquirer, the central organ of Gov,
Wise for the Presidency. The Hunter
organ pleads for communication of the
sentence of "Old Brown" as good
stroke of Southern policy the Wise Or
gan denounces this appeal as abolitionism
and treason, and calls for the expulsion
Of the offender from the State. TO add
to the gravity of the crime of the Hunter
the New York Tribune, which clearly, ac-
cording to the Wise organ, makes said
Hunter organ an aboltionist in disguise,
traitor and spy. This is very en-
traordinary state of things. Can it be
possible that Senator Hunter is taking
the side Of sympathy for "Old Brown" in
order to make political capital, and cut
out Governor Wise in the North? The
virulence of the Wise organ ,justifes this
supposition. At all events, when Old
Brown begins to find sympathy in Old
Virginia, in Presidential view of the
subject, there may be hope for him. Let
Hunter keep it up, and Wise may be in
clined to mercy, There is still a chance
for Old Brown, when the two rival Vir-
ginia Presidential aspirants begin to
quarrel over him, both looking to the
North.

Fire at Atlanta.

A fire occurred at Atlanta, Ga, on the
night of the 10th, which consumed a
large number of business and dwelling
houses. Two children were burned to
death. Among other sufferers, the pro-
prietors of the "Intelligencer" had their
entire establishment destroyed. A good
deal of the property was uninsured. Loss
estimated at over 100000.

years had been connected with ttheIpress

The deficiency in the receipts of the
Department for the fiscal year ending on

The State Bank,

A writer in that staunch democratic pa-
per, the Register" who, for oLght we
know to the contrary, may wish to be
made President of the Knoxville Branch
that Gov. Harris did right to
trundle out bill theoold Directors of tho
Bank of'Tennessee, ind put Freshmen in
their stead. He says:
ut makes no sort of difference whether
Col. johnson is perfectly or impcrtectiy, ph,-
perfectly or sutjunctivciy satisfied with the
action of Governor Harris in the manage
nient of the Bank of Tennessee. lie has
done just right, justwhat lie should have
done"
The same democratic writer says, that
Governor Harris and his friends are re-
sponsible for the Bank and its Branches.
The information thus enunciated is graft
flying, and the public must feel sensibly
relieved. At the same time, however, the
Governor and his friends would do well
to mind what they are about in their
management, and not venture on too
many experiments nor put into the}Bank
too many new men. The last man to be
placed at the head of aBanking institu-
ton is be who has never been able to
conduct his own business affairs Success
fully-at least such would be objcctiona-
BILE under ordinary circumstances. But
6ovenIor'Hariis ard his friends being re-
sponsiblc alters the case and makes every
thing safe beyond contingency.
