Small Notes.

The inconvenience from abolishing the
issuance Of small notes is daily becoming
greater-indeed, it is almost impossible to
procure change for FIVE dollar bill. AT
ter the first of January ensuing, the Banks
will not be allowed to pay out bills of a
less denomination than ten, which will
increase the evil. As to specie supplying
the place of the small notes, it don't be-
gin to work. There is not as much specie
in circulation by one half now as six
months ago. The metal drawn from the
Banks is boarded up, or otherwise disap-
pears from circulation. The best thing
the Legislature could do, would be to re-
store to the Bank Of Tennessee the privi-
lcge to issue bills of o less denomination
than five dollars.

I.>>>SNA
Nav York in laaO.

Pink, tho intelligent New York cores
pondent Of tho Charleston Courier, thus
speculates about the vote Of New York
in the contest of the ensuing year
The official vote Of this State at the last
election is finally announced. IL shows
conclusively that New York is not quite
so badly Republican as was supposed
II is true that party is largely in excess Of
the Democrats. But the American and
disinterested vote. which added to the
Democracy, just about makes tie, is
much moro likely to go with the Union
party than with Seward, in case he is
nominated. The average maorities of
the Republicans who were also supported
by the Know Nothings was $4,000. The
majority OF the Democrats who were sim
ilarly supported, averaged only about
1000. II is admitted that the Know
Nothings at the last election polled vote
of about $4,000. This, in an exciting
Presidential contest, can be raised to
$4,000, and as sure as Seward is the Re-
publican nominee this number will al
most in body support the Democratic
candidate. There are yet hopes of New
York in 1860, in case Seward is nomina-
ted.

Cold Weather,

The weather prophets are predicting
an unusually long and severe winter, bas-
ing the speculation upon the fact that the
grey squirrels have commenced crossing
the Mississippi river in large numbers
We have seen these autumnal migrations
of the squirrels announced in the papers
every year since we can recollect, and
some of the winters have been marked
for their severity, and some haven't. But
the approaching one may prove an excep-
ton to the general rule-that is, it may
verify the weather prophets orr may not,
just as its predecessors have done.

The Foreign Population.

New York paper says the foreign
population of that city amounts to about
two hundred thousand, of which about
one half are Irish, and the remainder
Germans, with small sprinkling of other
nationalities. The foreign vote is about
thirty thousand, more than half of which
is German. The same paper adds that
the German population Of New York has
Of late years been rapidly increasing in
number and influence, and owing to the
operation of political causes in the father
land it is likely to receive still more i'm
portant accessions of strength from year
to year. The Irish element, on the con-
trary, if not quite at a stand still, will
soon be so, with the further prospect Of
losing entirely its distinctive character in
tho course of ge neration or two.

were elected for the ensuing year, and
subsequently, the Directors met and elect

indulge strong hopes of obtaining addi-
tional aid, sufficient to carry it to compile

THE SLAVE ExoDUs.-Wc take the fol-
lowing item from the Hannibal (Mo.) Ga
zette, a Democratic paper:
During last week, over 100 slaves from
Lewis, Clark and Scotland counties, have
passed down on boats, en- route for the
South to be sold. Several large dealers
are travelling through all the counties. of
North Missouri, buying up the slaves
rapidly at high prices, to be sold again
in the South, where there is a demand
for them, and where negro labor is much
more remunerative than in this climate.
At the present rate of decrease it will
not be long before slavery, only to small
extent, will become extinct in Missouri.
The emancipation law of nature is doing
more to make Missouri free State than
the hypocritical howlings of million of
Abolitionists would do in the same num-
Der of years.

SlnYaru Agitation

The N. Y. Times, one Of the leading
Republican organs in 1856, says now Of
slavery agitators: VS..
We have been suffering the extremists
Of one and other party to go on trading
for years in the fiercest of internecine
passions as composedly as If no mischief
could ever come of such light matters to
so great nation as ours.
Mad John Brown has done the State
this service at least, that he has dashed
this false and foolish confidence to pieces
IF we are not really the blindest people
that ever existed and judicially set apart
for destruction, we ought now to begin
to see that the most important political
work we have to do is to combine as one
people in the resolve to put this tremcn
dous social question of Slavery out of the
reach of partisan agitations. 1t is mad
ness to which the madness of Johr
Brown was statesmal-like good sense, tC
trife any longer in caucusses and conven
tons with issues SO full,of the very life
blood of one great section of the Con
fcderacy.

ae1" The Funeral of L. G.. Eastman,
late Editor of the Nashville Union and
American, was one of the largest and
most imposing we ever witnessed. The
Funeral was preached at the First Bap-
fist church, on Thursday afternoon, by
Drs. Howell and SehOn. The Church
was very crowded and numbers, unable
to get admission, were collected in Sum-
ner street in front of the Church The
procession, composed of various societies
of which deceased had been n member,
and his relatives and friends was, perpaps,
the largest ever witnessed IN Nashville
The Masons proceeded by band of mu-
sic, marched in advance of the -IIearse,
which was followed, in succession, by the
editorial and publishing associates of de-
ceased, the family and relatives in car
riages, the editorial and publishing corps
of Nashville. the members of the Ty-
biographical Union, the gentlemen com
posing the Agricultural Bureau, members
of the Legislature and citizens on foot,
followed by long train of carriages
The remains were deposited in the city

juncture, if our government could man.
age to get into real muss with some
power able to employ, for year or two,

The Harper's Ferry Resolutions.

We take the following extract from an
article in tho Nashville Patriot of the
28th:
The "Baylcss Resolutions" have given
rise to quite an animated political discus
sion in the House of Representatives; and
it wis my good fortune to hear the speech
of Mr.. Brazelton on Saturday, in reply to
Capt. Bennett, of Sumner. do not pro-
pose to report the speech of Mr.. Brazel-
ton, for could not hope to do him jus:

WINGED every unprejudiced listener that
the eloquent speaker and those who act
with him, are true to the Union, to the
Constitutional rights of the State and
that our own peculiar institution" will
be entirely safe in their hands. The
foul charge that the Opposition men OF
the South are ready to affiliate with Black
Republicanism, was eloquently hurled
back at the democracy, the Opposition
triumphantly indicated. and the fact
that the democratic party has furnished
every Abolition candidate for the Presi.
dency. was fully established by reference
to the records.

The Nashville Tragedy,

The trial of Mr.. Hall, of the News, for
the killing of Mr.. Poindexter, of the
Union and American, before the Examin-

and up to our latest date from Nashville

We are Informed that the convention
of Railroad Presidents and Superinten.
dents of this line ct their recent meeting
in Washington City, made a schedule
and agreed to run it. commencing on the
LIST Of January 1860, that will put pas
sengers through from New York and
New Orleans in the short space of three
DAYS thirteen and half hours. Pas
sengers leave New York att A. N. and 6 r
NJ. and arrive at New Orleans at 81 Pm.
and ~ A. NJ. -t as.-., =, ,.-..
BY this schedule, the time of arrival at
Knoxville going South is fixed at Ills
A. NJ. and 1890 at night, going North at
| $50 A.. N. and $50 r. N. Time from New
York to Knoxville is At hours. From
Knoxville TO New Orleans 43s hours
From Knoxville to Washington City 29a
hours.
| This schedule is made and intended to
be run twice daily without regard to Mail
Contracts, and is certainly quick time,
and highly creditable to the line.
| We understand further, that the Off
GERS of the East Tennessee and Georgia
Road proposed and advocated higher
rate of speed, say 90 miles per hour, in
Guiding changes and stoppages, which
would have made the time IS instead Of
85l hours, as agreed on, but as the latter
figures were deemed sufficiently quick to
place this line in fair, if not beyond conf
petition with any other, the convention
declined for the present to adopt quick
| er schedule.
Ill =. AZ n
journment of the convention a PROPOSE
ton has been submitted by the East Ten
nessee and Geo. Railroad to the roads be-
carry passengers between New York and
Nashville in so hours, which we are salts
fed can be easily done, the distance be-
ing 1000 miles, it would only require 20
miles per hour, including stoppages and
changes, making the actual running time
less than "a miles per hour.
The East Tenn. & Ga. Railroad in

schedule to and from Dalton, Ca, at
same time that they are placed at and
taken from Chattanooga, so that it will
only remain for the roads between Dalton
and Montgomery, Alabama, to connect
close with this central line ut Dalton to
gain twelve hours time over their present
travel to and from New York.
1t is 275 miles from Dalton to Mont
gomery. Time between New York and
Montgomery via. Knoxville, 634 hours
ALLOWING 152 from Dalton to Montgom-
ory) instead of 75l which we under.
stand to be the time now taken by the
) line through North Carolina.
In connection with the above, it gives
us pleasure to state that schedules be-
tween this and Atlanta, Ga, are close,
and the time only If hours, which is
} shorter than ever before.
These facts cannot fail to be gratifying
, to tho travelling public, and the people
of East Tennessee, whose interests are SC
closely identified with these roads.
We shall refer to this subject again

and aid this line in its praiseworthy eff
fort to accommodate the wants of the
Southern people.

TAX ON Standardization propositions,
at different times have been made in the
Tennessee Legislature, to change the
present mode of taxing slaves. Most of
them have proposed to tax those now un-
der and over the taxable age, at their
cash value.
A correspondent of the Memphis En-
qurer puts forth the following PROPOSE
ton, which at least has the merit of nov
city:
That, considering the present juncture
of affairs in order to strengthen and sup
port our peculiar institutions" that all
negro property, regardless of age, should
be exempt from any tac whoteoer. An Act to
this effect would do more to encourage.
perpetuate, and strengthen slavery. as
an institution, in our own and other
Southern States, than any other unoffen-
sive act which our Legislature could
enact.
This being done, I could suggest two
other laws for enactment that would place
the institution" out of danger, beyond a
doubt One is an Act for the different
Legislatures South, and the other for the
whole people. The fermer to exempt a
certain number of slaves from execution,
and the latter to acknowledge its perma-
nence and look upon "agitators" as in
cendiaries to their domestic happiness.

DECREASE OF SLAVERY IN MIssoURI.--A
correspondent of the Huntsville Citizen
notices and deeply deplores the fact that
many of the slaves in Northern Missouri
are being sold to go South that but few
immigrants with slaves are coming to that
State, and that. if this condition of things
is not changed, "all Northern Missouri
will become freesoilized as effectually as
any Northern State" He also suggests
relief measures by the Missouri Legisla-
ture, soon to assemble in jefferson, and
asks Shareholders to "devise some plan to
stop the exodus, and induce farmers from
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North
Carolina to emigrate to Missouri instead
of Texas" sr .
