What is in the WindP

We-have heard many and grave
charges made against the parties
that receivedAnd counted the Ten
nessee Bank Money, but we can
have no positive knowledge of any,
thing wrong. We clip the follow
ing from the Nashville Gazette:
There is a very general suspi-
cion-with some a settled convic-
tion-that VIM. G. Brownlow is
abusing his official position, for
the purpose of peculating on the
State Treasury. Having lost all
hope of gratifying an honorable
ambition, tits believed that all his
political movements are simply in
tended as O cover for operations by
which he can put money into his
own and the pockets of his accom-
plices.
We do not possess SO full infor-
nation in regard to certain trans
actions, as we hope to obtain in a
few weeks. In the mean time we
wish to afford the Governor an
opportunity to clear up, if he can,
an affair of ugly aspect. He and
his strikers will have no difficulty
in understanding what transaction
is pointed at, in the following
questions. We propose to keep
them standing in the Gazette for a
few days, that they may attract
the attention of the parties con-
cerned. Gov. Brownlow, or any
other who may choose to answer
for him, is invited to reply to the
following list of interrogations:
LIST. Did you sell note belong
ing to the Branch of the Bank of
Tennessee at Athens, calling for
gold?
I'd. If so, how much did said
note call for?
Sd. How much and what did
you get for said note?
4th. Did you know that said
gold was borrowed for the purpose
of blockade-running?
9Th. And has it ever occurred
to you that you sold said note to
one of the firm. Of blockade-run.
Iners?
9th. And has it ever occurred
to you that, as Governor, you had
no legal or moral right to shave
off notes belonging to the people
of Tennessee at sacrifice, for the
benefit of your political friends ?

ALL READY.-It is related in
the Phore de ly Loire that the
Mayor of commune in France
having received a letter from the
Project of his department, eWoin-
ing him to take all necessary pre-
cautions in case of the cholera ma.
king its appearance in his village,
replied that he had already made
every preparation. The Project,
not content with this answer, Wis
tied in person the above named
commune, and to fhis astonish-
ment and dismay found that the
worthy Mayor had caused as ma
ny graves to be dug in the church
yard as there were inhabitants in
the village.

What the South May Elk
pect.

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, is
regarded as ore of the most conser'
vative men in the Radical ranks
About week ago, in speech at
Mozart Hall, Cincinnati, he said,
in speaking of the anticipated re.
lection by the South of the Consti-
tutional Amendment:
eff it is rejected; if, by the
treachery of the man whom we e.
lected to power the Southern peo-
pie are led to reject that Constitu-
tional amendment, then let us
place our superstructure on the
rock of eternal truth, where all the
the powers of hell shall not shake
it. [Applause.] They ask you
how you will do it? say we will
tell them how when the time
comes. [Great applause The
day has not gone by, and | believe
the solemn judgment and determi-
nation of the American people will
be, that if there is no other way
to deal with this people, we will
take the most radical doctrine that
the widest man in the country
can think of and adopt, [great ap-
plause rather than to surrender
again to this rebellious people,
power not only over negro popula-
ton, but power over ourselves"

THE ELDER.-A funny story is
told of Elder Allen, an aged min
lister in a part of New England,
where, at that time, the decorum
usually observed in public wor-
ship bad been but imperfectly de-
veloped. The Elder had been
greatly annoyed, especially during
prayer, by the restless demeanor
of members of his Congregation.
The aisles resounded with the foot
steps of those who saw fit to go
out, and again echoed by the
tread of the laggards who, detain-
ed by discussion of cattle, crops
and politics outside, had just seen
fit to come in. The Elder, though
strong in exhortation, was but
weak in grammar, and his soul was
vexed within him. Pausing in
his prayer, and leisurely surveying
his flock, he gave vent to the wish
that "them that was in would stay
in, and them that was out stay
out. and put stop to this eternal
trampoosin !"

HOPE IN Tu3 PPEeIDENT,

The conservative conduct of the President
has fixed On him the hopes CT the Southern
people. They look to him as TIE only means
by which the country can be saved ironnthe
ruin that would inc1 itab!y Gollow if the IA
naticlsm, that is now lualIy raging i'll the
two houses CT Congress, should be embodied
into laws. That this is true; that our rco-
pie do thus put their horcs and trust in him,
is shown in many ways, but in none more
clearly than in the fcrvcncy of their Sabbath
prayer for " tho President Ct the United
States"-a prayer that has generally. hereto.
fore, been mG'c formula; but now. when
our country seems to DC rushing to ruin, and
=" all others in authority seem to be husten>
ing its end, the great Ruler is earnestly
bcsougitt not only to preserve the President
in health and safely, but to give him thc
power to stay tie ra3acss CT the day, ard to
restore perfect peace 10 the land; aaI men
and women, and even children, Join in the
petition with the lcrvor Of speech which
proves the uttcrance OF the heart.

your case till he can he had, employ the cx-

guarantee.
