The Nashville Banner of the I'd notes
recent suicide in that Of Henry Enbonn, =
German who had found his way to that place
in very desperate state Of mind. Domestic
difficulties had broken 10 bis family, and he
had lef his home in Memphis With the avow-
ed purpose of going to some CITY in which the
cholera ragged, hoping that he might falla
victim sit. He had already been in st.
Louis and several cities where tha. disease is
prevalent, and had finally reached Nashville,

-Fonr citizens of Giles county, named
George Welles, James Russell, George Keiff,
and John Sullivan, were brought to Nashville
on Monday, under military guard, charged

,horities of Giles county signify their readi-
ness to try them.
Late arrivals from Colorado at St Joseph,
Mo-, report everything quiet on the route to
Denver. No Indians were seen on ths way
in, and no trouble is anticipated on the main
travelled ronte between this city and Ssit
Lake, particularly where trains journey with
anything like an organisation. II is believed
that no difficulties need be spprskeraed say-
where on the Plains save on what is known
as the Powder River route to Montana. On
that road, there are no doubt large bands Of
hostile Indians who look upon the opening
Of roads through their country as destructive
TO their hunting grounds, and are determined
TO make war upon travellers.
The Wheeling Intelligeneer advises that
President johnson swing round his magic
circle and take Memphis and New Orleans in
the route. He would meet with receptions
there that would put to blush the "n.echani
eal'' affairs along the Northern route And
he would find some llustrious dead to be
buried at both places-dead whose monu-
ments have already been built in history-and
whose blood "not all the green seas incar>
dine" can ever wash from his Presidential
garments.
e. K. Hall, of Buffalo, proposes new
system of coinage namely: the proposed new
cent to be made OF nickel the same as at
present, but the center has raised star, the
nucleus of which is represented by hole
through the coin. The two cent pieces have
two perforated stars, and the three cent coins
three. Thus. by holding either denomination
to the light, or by simply touching them 50 a.
to feel the holes, the value OF the piece o.
money is unmistakably known. The hall
dimes and dimes are larger coin of better
metal, but are to be distinguished BY one and
two perforated stars.
