From the Petersburg Index.
When the smoke and dust of this
conflict shall clear away, and the rec.
ord of the great assze of history be
made up, and the sentence pronounced
on this most stupendous struggle for
nationality, there will stand forth no
figure so sublime as that ofthis gallant
soldier, brill ant orator, sagacious
statesman, and Christian gentleman,
herelt of every earthly possession, shut
out from all converse with the human
family, guarded by mutes tailored bya
tYrant. accused by assassinS, trembling
with plrlYsiS, blinl nlllclel tortured
with an ingenious cruelty, which de-
MED him sleep. with brutal mob of
millions clamoring for his blood, vet
calm, defiant, and undaunted, asking no
favor of the best and no guard against
the worst savca public trial in the
courts Of his foes
Life has been allotted to him well
nigh to the verge Of his three score
years. lionors have poured on him
for more than half his life, filling full
the measure Of American fame. Yet
were his life to rival the ages Of the pa
triarchs and his honors TO double the
glories Of the illustrious son of David,
the bright particular year Of his his
tory would be that in which. chained
captive, the last victim of lost cause,
he raised his voice in perpetual claim
for no favor of twenty million Of enc.
mics, but justice
A feeble tongue, it may be, that
makes the appeal, but the cry pierces
Che triple iron of his dungeon, pierces
the massive walls Of his bastile, down
the multitudinous roar Of the neigh
boring sea, rises above the victorious
nations p4ans, and fallen nations
will, and will go sounding down the
ages, to assure the world that the vir-
tue men call Roman, and the courage
they call Spartan, died neither on the
ribcr nor the Eup!rates.

Bank of Tennessee Notes.

In our paper this week will be found
an important communication upon the
subject Of our currency, and of the old
issues Of the Bank Of Tennessee. The
Nashville Banner, from which paper
we copy the communication, says OF it
as follows: "It is from the pen of one
of the ablest jurist and most eminent
legal authorities in our State. Our cor
respondents construction, we feel sat
is(icd, is the correct one as to the spirit
of the law with regard to the old issues
of the State Bank. 1t has been deci7
ded by the highest judicial tribunals
known to the country, that the notes
and issues OF the Bank of Tennessee is
sued prior to the 9Th day of May,
1851, should be received at the Trcasu-
rv of this State, and we coincide with
the views Of Citizen" that the clerks
Of county courts in this State ought to
receive them in payment Of taxes and
all other dues to the State of Ten
nessce.'

Nearly 1000 Germans leave Europe

"A company is established Copenhagen

In describing the position of the
southern rebels, according to the
johnson policy, Gen. Butler sharply
says: They surrendered everything.
and yet by that surrender they get
everything
They did not get "the spoons" that
the "BEasT' carried off, or the other
"spoils" that he transferred to his own
pocket. 1t is singular the rule should
not work both ways. He surrendered
nothing. got every thing he could lay
his hands on, and by not surrendering
the stolen property, he still retains it.
Ben. BUTLER is sharp fellow--a regu-
lar shorper--and sharp practice is his
trade. No name is more odious than
liis-not even that of STANTON, CHASE
or UNDERWOOD. He is regarded with
and disgust, ineifable. Let
us not waste another thought upon the
miserable piIferer and tyrant.-.Uemphis
