a State Convention.

On the fourth page Of to-day's paper viii
be found call, signed by many of the best
men in the State, for = convention of the
people Of Tennessee who are favorable to a
complete restoration to its proper position of
equality and influence in the nation This
is a most wise and commendable effort, and
should meet with the hearty appreciation
and receive the prompt attention and decis-
i've action ofevery man who is foe to usurp-
alton and friend to the afflicted. Every
county in the State should send delegates to
the Convention, which is to be held at Nash
vile on the 22d Of this month. The time is
short, and the people should bestir them
selves. Hardeman county ought to send two
or three Of her best and most influential cit
liens to represent her in the Convention.
There is no doubt but what vast deal Of
good will come from the convention if those
who ought will only take an interestin the mat
ter commensurate with the times. Let US have
a meeting and appoint our delegates. If I'VE
do not make an effort to place ourselves
right, we need not expect to get what be-
longs to as through the action of others. 1t
is duty we owe to ourselves and to our
State to como forward and assert our rights,
and spurn the action of the upstarts who are
and have boon incorporating the true SEN
timent of Tennessee. Go on with the good
work, and let US show the world how much
we have been wronged and slandered by
those who pretended to represent us, but
did not do it.

CSnDound Interest 1t is well known to
what prodigious sums money improved for
some time at compound interest will increase.
A penny 80 improved from our Saviour 5
birth as to dcuble itself every fourteen
wears. or which Is nearly the same, put out
at fiCe per cent compound interest at our
Saviour birth would by this time have in
creased 70 more money than would be eon-
tanned in $50 millions Of globes each equal
to the earth in magnitude, and all solid gold.
4 eb:lIinr nut out at 6 per cent compound
interest would in the same time have IN
creased to a greater sum in gold than the
whole solar system could hold, suprosing a
a sphere equal in diameter of Safurn's orbit.
And the earth is to such sphere as half a
square foot, or a quarto page, to the whole
surface Of the earth.

Maqnetisn q extraordinary and ur

Magnetism Ar extraordinary and IN
precedented case has just been tried at the
Assize Court of the Var A young man of
twenty-four, named CASTELAR,, presented
himself at the house of a respectable farmer
named Hughs, and pretending to e deaf
and dumb, obtained supper and night
lodging
In the morning he persuaded the farmer s
daughter, modest girl Of twenty-six, to run
away with him, and the Indictment alleged
that he obtained an irresistible influence
over her by means Of magnetism.
The moment she came to her senses she
was filed with remorse, but whenever
he magnetised her she was mere instru
ment in his hands, and submitted TO what
ever he told her Three doctors of Toulon
gave their opinion in accordance with that
Of Dr. Tardieu, of Paris, and many other
medical men of the highest reputation that
it is possible, by means of what is called
magnetism, to obtain such influence over a
young girl as to completed annihilate her
will.
CASTELAR, boosted of his magnetic power
while standing at the bar, and offered to
magnetise the presiding judge. He actually
tried to magnetise the Procureur Imperial,
and frightened him so much that he angrily
ordered the prisoner to lower his eyes Be-
ing found guilty by the jury, he was sen
fenced to twelve years Imprisonment with
hard labor.

receiving teller of the Second National
Bank. The bill was Of the denomination Of
$50. The engraving on face and back is
coarse, and will Immediately discover the

The first book ever printed with types
was the Bible in Latin. This was issued in
Mentz, in Germany, about the year 1850
NJ Clure, in his " Translators Revived, says
Of this book:
Though first attempt, It is beautifully
printed on very fine paper, and with superior
ink At least eighteen copies Of this famous
edition are known to be in existence at the
present time. twenty-five years ago, one of
them, printed on vellum. was sold for FIVE
hundred and four pounds sterling"
A copy owned in New York cost the
possessor about 8, 500, but would bring
nearly double that sum now.
The number of Bibles printed between
1850 and 1900 was much larger than people
generally supposed and among them were
several in German.

Bishop Quintard oficiated at Christs
Chuch, in Louisville on last Sunday morn
ing, and at Calvary Church, in the evening
The Journal says Bishop Quintard's
visit was rendered doubly interesting to
these churches by his administering the or
dinance of confirmation. At Christs this
impressive rite was attended by the confrma
ton Of seventeen persons, and at Calvary
the number confirmed was between twenty
and thirty. The Bishop, on each occasion,
delivered q most apt, learned and eloquent
discourse.

W.,-INa or OysTERMEN According t.
oy;ops announcement, a large number Of
10, ENGAGED in taking oysters in the sur
rornd;no waters, assembled in Bakers build
inc on Campbell's wharf, on Saturday after
nnon for the purpose of taking into conslde-
ration the late law and tax bill imposed on
oysters by the Legislature. 5...
Various speakers addressed the meeting an"
the prevailing sentiment seemed to be that the
ovster tax was unconstitutional, and ought to
he resisted on that ground
In accordance with this sentiment tue fol-
lowing petition was introduced and unani
nously passed by the meeting .-.,t ~
To the Honorable Court Of Norfolk Countys
We, the citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Norfolk county engaged in the oyster bust
ness. in the waters of Virginia, assembled at
No = Campbels wharf, to express their
Vows in reference to the public law imposing
an onerous tax on the oyster business, most re-
snect(ulIy petition that no inspectors be APP
pointed Immediately, according to the terms
IF said tax law until the constitutionaty of
said law is thoroughly established by compe-
tent authority.
The following preamble and resolution was
also passed by the meeting:, H5
Whereas, A bill has recently been passed by
the General Assembly regulating the oyster
business, prescribing legitimate clustering
grounds, placing restrictions and limitations
On the trade, and imposing an onerous tax !;
Now, therefore, be and the same is hereby
RESOLVED, That we believe such laws to be
unjust and burdensome, and that the tax on
tonnage is alike unconstitutional, unlawful and
we'll calculated to seriously impair, if not ut
terly ruin, the oyster trade.
A collection was taken up to defray all ne
cessary expenses, and about this time the
meeting having become somewhat disorderly,
A motion to adjourn was carried. 81
