New CHANNEL OF TRADE.-HENRY
CoBIA, Esq, the energetic director from the
city Of Charleston, South Carolina for the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, is
using every effort to make Charleston the
seaport city of the Northwest. This is a
vital matter with Nashville, and we wish
him every success. Upon the completion OF
the Nashville and Northwestern railway,
St. Louis and the cities Of the North Missis-
sippi Valley will fnd-if we but take pains
to inform them-that Charleston Is nearer
and better port for the importation Of their
goods from foreign ports than any other, and
that, while the cities Of the Southeast will at
all times need the products Of their Valley,
such as bacon, corn and all breadstufs, they
will be able 10 make trade reciprocal by
encouraging a great highway through the
South, which will prove much more prof.
table to them than the Narthern line We
hope that Mr.. COBA will be entirely sue
cessful, and that he may be able to state to
his constituents, that the people of Tennes-
see are anxious to reciprocate the advantages
Of trade in every way in their power, and
that our merchants may soon be able to i'm
port their foreign goods ria Charleston,
South Carolina.

NoTCE-There are three notes which l
fear may pass into the hands Of innocent
persons, and therefore, make republication.
They are for Seventeen Hundred and Fifty
Dollars each, or about that amount. They
are dated October 18th, 1865, or about that
date They fall due respectively, one, two,
and three years from date They are pay
able to the order of A. NJ. DmLN,and w. B.
THOMPSON, and endorsed by them. These
notes were obtained fraudulently and lille
gally, and without any delivery, 50 far as l
am concerned. 1 do not regard myself as re-
sponsible for them; but make this statement
for the protection of persons into whose
hands they might pass innocently.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Rather a fine
looking girl attempted to drown herself in
the waters of the Cumberland yesterday.
She doubtless thought it would end her sor-
rows. She was rescued by an officer, who took
her before the Recorder. 1t was then ascer-
tanned that there was a man in the case.
His Honor told her that he wouldn't drown
himself for the best man that ever lived,
and the woman looked as if she believed
him. After few short sobs, she went home,
resolved to watch her chance and walk out
of town

SATURDAY AFTERNooN.-The close Of an
other week is nigh. The streets are thronged
with the CAV, the earnest and the industrious.
Workmen, with their tin-pails, are vending
homeward, where the bright faces of wife
and children are ready, with cheerful greet
ing. 10 welcome them after their weeks toll.
Merchants have closed their stores, and with
elastic steps go to their homes, happy that
dav-book and ledger viii not trouble them
for at least twenty-four hours. The street
cars are filed with busy home-goers, with
bright faces. Elegant carriages rush past,
the occupants taking their evening ride.
Ladies, clothed like the lilies, fit to the
Postofice Little girls skip along the pave
ment, with their bright looks and merry
laugh scattering joy everywhere. Baby
cabs, with their precious inmates, roll mer-
rily along
Away over in Edgefeld the storm cloud
lowers, and bright streaks of lightning divide
its dark outline, and directly comes the rum

the sky. The trees and grass look greener
at the expected shower Suburban residents
pour over the suspension bridge. Every
body looks as if a day of rest was coming.
SATURDAY NIGHT-And the busy stream
grows larger. The stores are filled with
people making purchases for the morrow.
Away up in the upper stories, by the blazing
gas-light, the pale printer is toiling, at the
latest news for the morrow, hoping that the
lightning will stop the telegraph, that he
may get off early to his home The busy
hum of people is heard through all the
streets until the hour grows late, and then
naught is left to tread its once sounding flags
but the watchful guardian Of the night.
How like the closing hours of life is Sat
urday; and as we all expect it will bring a
bright tomorrow, it is natural that we
should welcome it, as we hope for a bright
hereafter.
