PAPER MANUFACTURERS.

A bin incorporating the Rock City
Paper Manufacturing Company passed in
the House of Representatives yesterday,
on its third reading. We do not know
the parties, and cannot speak of their
capacity to carry out the undertaking.
There is no doubt Of the success Of such
an enterprise if properly managed; and
there is no more eligible point at which
to establish it than this city. Paper
making has been neglected in the South>
ern States, and the business left in the
hands of men who have made an article
to suit themselves, and fixed the price on
the same principle. A competition in
this business would be healthy move
ment The men who use paper would
thus, perhaps, get better article, and at
living prices, and on fair terms. The
paper consumers of the Southern States
have been at the mercy of monopolsts
long enough. If the Rock City Company
60 into the business on liberal principles,
their paper will meet with liberal de
mand. Nashville and the region which
an energetic establishment of this char
acter could make tributary to it, requires
a factory which can furnish every quality
Of paper needed; and we hail the attempt
to set it afoot as one Of the most useful
enterprises yet preached.

GNTLE,IES-I have recently come into
possession OF Information TO the effect that
a plot has been formed to destroy the lives
Of asuficient number Of Republicans TO re-
duce them to minority in Congress. Rail-
road accidents, poisonings, etc, will be re
sorted to as the means to accomplish this
result, and unless you are very careful they
will succeed. My advice to each Of Won
would be to start for Washington two or
three days before the time announced, and
go unObserVed, and keep a sharp lookout
after you get there, for still deeper plots are
in store for your destruction, and the over
throw Of our republican government. L
have the whole secret Of their plottings
from the very commencement, and will re-.
veal it all when the time arrives. Andrew
johnson is acting true to his eOnstit-
uents, and has been playing the "rolS' of a
modern Judas, from 1861 all the way down.
There are more traitors, however besides
him, engaged in the present conspiracy.
The business Of General Mcclellan in
Europe for the last two wears has been
with the Pope and other high dig
nitaries Of the Catholic Church, to form a
coalition between the Catholics and Demo-
crats TO reinstate the Democratic party in
power. You will recOllect that a council
Of Catholic bishops was held in Baltimore
few weeks ago, with closed doors, and
their deliberations conducted in Latin !;
and You will also recollect that very dis
tinguished American citizen, being no less
a parsonage than the President of the
United States, made flying visit to Bal
timore the last day that this council sat- and
was in secret session with them. This was
barely mentioned by the papers, without
comment as nothing wrong was suspected,
but as l had then received a part of my in

THE MAINE COLONY AT JAFFA.-A
despatch from Boston says: A late letter
from the Maine colony, dated Jaffa, Octo-
Der 10, contradiets the published dolorous
reports concerning it. The affairs of the
colony are in Furnishing condition, and
the writer says there is nothing to prevent
making money there, with little Ameri-
can enterprise. The country is much bet
ter than was reported to Elder Adams, and
although now it is the driest and most
barren season Of the year, there is plenty Of
everything for food. The American, Eng
lish and French consuls have given the
colonists all the assistance they required,
and the Sultan Of Turkey is in favor Of their
establishing themselves there. II is ex-
pected that another vessel will leave Maine
next year for Jaffa."
