TENNESSEE ITEMS.

We understand there have been
brought to this county ten thousand
hogs, from Kentucky, for the purpose OF
fattening them, there not being enough
corn raised in that State to feed the great
number they have on hand. This ought
to make pork cheap mex winter.-Leba-

John 5. Hull was arraigned some
DAYS ago before the Commissioners OF
the State prison, and the result of the
investigation Of the charges alleged
against him has terminated in the find.
ing Of q true bill against Mr.. Hull by
the grand jury for embezzling public
property and monies. A cspias was is
sued on the 10th inst, for mis- arrest, and
he was brought before the Hon. John
Hugh Smith yesterday, and recognized
with John Schilmer, surety, in the sum
Of five hundred dollars, to make his ap-
pesrance at the next term Of the Crimi-
nal Court, to answer the charge OF en-
bezzling. Il is mainly due TO the exer-
ton Of our indefatigsble Coroner, Geo.
W. NOrvell, that this culpTit has been
brought to justice. We hope a speedy
trial will be awarded him and that be re-
ceive punishment for his many acts OF
malfeasance in o6ice.-NashUiHe Gazette.
We have received, says the Nashville
Banner, the following communication.
with the request that we give it to the
public, and ask its publication in the
other papers throughout the State: In

announce that there will be a meeting of
the Judges, ChancellOrs and lawyers, at
the Supreme Court room, in Nashville,

to agree upon q memorial to the General
Assembly for the passage Of bill, fixing
