TENNESSEE MosEr-From the Nash

There was decided improvement yes.
terday in Tennessee money. For the last
few days brokers have offered only so cents
for the State Bank, and 60 cents for the
notes of the Union and Planters Banks
B ut on yesterday the figures were sdvane
ed to S. for the State and 63a66 for the
Union and Planters. We are informed that
the Tax Collector has been notified by the
authorities to receive, hereafter, nothing
but legal tender for State and county taxes,
and not to take Tennessee money. Wo
cannot cay what effect this will have, but
would suppose our money will undergo
still further depression.

From Northern Virginia.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Oct u.
The accounts from Northern Virginia
continue encouraging. Passengers by the
Central train last night brought down
report that portion of our forces had cut
off the retreat of the Yankee General Sedg-
wick, and intercepted his whole corps. The
statement is that Ssdgwick became separa-
ted from the main body of the enemy's
forces, and struck off in toe direction of Oc-
coquan, where he was met by our troops,
who had previously y reached that point.
Another report states that Gen. Ewell
had severe fight with the enemy at Bris-
toe Station, on the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad. Little is known of the result o
this fight, except that the enemy were de,
feated, and rumors says lost three thousand
men in prisoners. Bristoe is the first sta
tion south of Manassas Junction, and abou
four miles from that point.

HORRIBLE FATE OF GUERRILLA IN Mis-
soURI.-A letter from s. r. Chase of Capt
Wells company, s7th Iowa, dated at Wash
ington, Franklin county, No., June I'd, says
"a few days since, a squad of the Grey Boards
found seven guerrillas in a thicket, three Of
whom were shot, the balance escaping by
flight. The chief was pursued Is miles,
when he fell from his horse and was captured.
He had nine pairs ef false whiskers with him.
He was brought back to Washington, placed
in irons and ordered to be taken to prison,
but while on the way was taken away from
the guard by party of Germans, some Of
whose friends he had murdered and robbed.
They hanged him on tree, and one of them,
who had been robbed by him only few days
before, fired at him as soon as he was drawn
up over the crowd, and at the crack of his
gun about thirty more fred, completely rid
ding his body.
This incident gives some idea of the exas-
perated state of feeling in Missouri against
the guerillas.

- VIM. B. Astor, who is blessed with
rich father, but is cursed with :he dyspep-
STA, is probably the richest man in tho world,
since his property is wholly at his disposal,
while that Of the Rothschilds, Bolmeyers,
and other wealthy European families, is held
in trust, under laws Of descent, for many
members of the family. Mr.. Astor pays
taxes on 81 ,OO0, 900 worth Of personal prop
erty, and his real property is supposed to be
worth $60,000,0 900. He is now over 60 years
of age, and is warmly attached to the localities
in which his boyhood was passed. As an
incident illustrating this, it is said that from
his bedroom window he has . view Of the
old Bowery, which he remembers as coun.
try road. He would not have = tall building
put up to obstruct his view, though he thus
loses considerable rent.

A HEATHER CusToM.-In ancient Sparta
there was law which compelled the youths
to rise when an old person approached, to be
silent when they spoke, and to yield them the
path when they met them. With us, what
the law does not enforce, decency should
prompt US to perform. Respect for the aged
teaches us such beautiful moral that those
who forget to practice it themselves, can do
no less than applaud it in others.
