CONFEDERATE Contracts. - Judge
Noise, in an argument Of three quar-
tiers Of an hour, yesterday, appears to
have demolished Mr.. Durant's very
able defense ofthe validity Of Confede-
rate notes as Il consideration for a con
tract. This was in the case OF the
Union Bank Of Tennessee against Nix
on, before Judge Duplanter, OF the
Sixth District Court. The Judge re-
fused the new trial on the ground OF
the decision of the case of Schmidt VS..
Baker, which has already been pub
lislcd in this paper. 1t may therefore
be considered rs the settled law OF TINS
State, that contracts in which Coniede,
rate money is the consideration cannot
be enforced by law o. P'coyune.

Death of Cant. James Taylor.

1t slipped our memory last week to
state that Capt. James Taylor, living
near this place, had been called from
the scenes of earth. We believe he
was about eighty-ti five years of age, and
died without a pain or struggle. lie
seemed to have filed up the measure
of his days. The eyes OF many old
men in this county, and elsewhere, will
Oil with tears when they read this no
tice of Capt. Taylor's death. Said Il
prominent old gentleman to us not
long since: "Unclc Jimmie Taylor did
a favor for me when | was a young
man. and | can never forget it. l love
his boys" BY such ties are many
hearts united to Capt. Taylor, and MS
memory will be long revered' May
his life be a pattern for others to fol

The New York .NemS says it is a well
asccrtaincd fact in Richmond, that
General breckenridge was indicted at
the same time as Mr.. Davis, by Under
woods jury. The Indictment is in the
same form as that Of Mr.. Davis, the on
" change being in the names OF the
two Gentlemen. The purpose Of the
Indictment, il is said, is to deter Gene
raj breckenridge from returning to his
home, and to prevent his receiving his
"pardon'' from the pr2sidcnt-it being
thought that Mr.. Johnson would not
grant him amnesty while under indict,
mcnt for "trcason.' This is another

Self Murder.

of reticcncc over a sad act committed
in our town last Wednesday morning,
but it has already been published in the
Nashville papers, and, as usual, with
errors in regard to personal connection
of the lady who took her own life.
Mrs. Isabella EstiIl was the wife Of DR.
VIM. EstiIl, who is a brother-not Il
sou--of DR.. Wallace EstiIl, rs the
Nashville E0nucr has it. The descr-
vcdly high position in society which
the deceased and her sorrOw-strickcn
and exemplary husband held, and the
wide extent Of their acquaintance, will
naturally add to the peculiar interest
which ever attaches to a suicide. But
this paper can make no sensational re
port Of an affair 50 sad to as, and hearl-
renting to kind husband, now bowed
in grief, and to her numerous relatives.
There is something awlully solemn IN
the thought that a human soul, or It's
own accord, should plunge into the un
ccrloin;jcs Of another existence. In II
cotalcpsy. as it were. we hold our heart
when we hear of such an act on the
part ola dear friend, or even a casual
acquaintance. IN this instance, We see
a woman Of fine, commanding appcmr-
nncc, highly educated, Gas all her ftml
" were and the question naturally is
asked: Why did size seek relief in
death? Let NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. rcvol'c
this question as they please, we can ON
" speak OF facts. For several months
a few intimate friends and relatives
have known that Mrs. Estill was Dor
dcring upon insanity. She expressed
the belief herself that she was constant
IL oppressed with a fear that she Tou(d
become insane. This very fear seems
to have FASTENED the dreaded condi-
tiou. and one would conclude that in
fear Of becoming insane ste bcc""'e '"s""e'
Several weeks since she attempted to
take her life, confessed the fact to her
husband, but seemed glad she had not
succeeded. All her faculties seemed as
sound as cvcr save the one fear which
oppressed hcr-that is, that she "o"I"
become insane. Her troubles seem to
have been imaginary, and imagining
she would lose her mind, she lost 1t,
and on the morning Of the 18th inst,
she got up, dressed herself, and was at
the mirror, when her husband asked
her why she had risen 50 early. She
REPLIED that she Thought she would feel
better to get up carly and take Ii'tlc
exercise, That was Il rational answer.
ms few moments she went ont and
hung herself, and Or. E5till, after Il
while, in going out to look for her,
found her yet warm in death. We
conclude by endorsing the words oIthe
Union and Amcric0n ;: "She was amost

all who knew her, and belonged to one

CRoPs.-In certain sections of the State,
west and southwest, the crops have suffered
much by the drought. Except these locali-
ties good crops will be made, especially of
cotton. Our information in relation to to-
bacco is slender Our people generally have
reason to be thankful to kind Providence
for its bountiful blessings.
In Arkansas goodcrops of cotton and corn
will be made. Some sections suffered from
overflow in the. Spring, but generally the
crops are good, especially the wheat.
From Louisiana we learn that the cotton
crop is seriously damaged. Louisiana has
suffered much from foundations.
From middle Alabama the intelligence is of
better character. A friend recently from
that section has given us cheering informa-
ton about the cotton and corn.
A letter from Atlanta to a Northern paper
speaks of the fine appearance OF the crops
along the Georgia railroads.
Along the Pamunkey in Virginia, says the
Despatch, the cotton raised is very good, of
long, fine staple and will compare fayorably
with best Southern grades.
In some parts of the South the crops will
fall short and the people suffer, in other sec
lions the very best crops will be made.

Important Testimony from Mr.. Ray.
mOnd.

Mr.. Raymond, it is well known, was a
leading member of the first Philadelphia
Convention, and the author of the address
He says, in the following article, copied
from his paper, the New York Times, that
that Convention endorsed the proposed con-
stitutional amendment.
What will the Sentinel say to this
PARTY PLATFORMS AND PRINCIPLES.
The Albany Eccning Journal manufactures
good many reasons for attaching special
Importance to what we said few days
since upon possible collision of authority
between two rival bodies, each claiming to
be the House of Representatives, and it as
cribes to the Times special authority to speak
for the President in regard to the action he
would take in that contingency We have
no such authority, and, in the article refer
red to, expressly stated thai we judged of
his probable action only from his published
opinions on the subject. In no other way
have we ever had the slightest reason to an
ticipate or presume what it would be.
But the Journal is guilty of some fragrant
misrepresentation. 1t says:
The Times was asked by Pittsburgh
contemporary whether it regarded the present
Congress as Constitutional body? To this
question the Times evasively replies that
there is possibly no reason for regarding the
present Congress otherwise than as legiti
mate and Constitutional body because the
President has communicated with it, and
approved of acts that were passed by it.
I'VE gave no such reason. We said we
regarded this Congress as Constitutional
body, because it embraced majority of all
the members required by law: and we added
that the President also regarded it as Con-
stltutional, else he would not have signed
the bills it passed
We suggested, as means of at once do
ing justice and of averting the threatened
danger, the admission ofloyal members from
loyal States to their seats in Congress This
