Hamilton County Wants turnpike.

SOAAAAJ U
At msstiug Oftho capitalists of Chat
tanOOga few days since resolution was
unanimously adopted as follows
Whereas, Hamilton county pays a
large amount of taxes and is in the value
of its land the most important county in
East Tennessee, and the eighth in the
State, and yet has not a single mile of
turnpike in it, and whereas, such roads
are greatly needed and would be very
great public advantage to our people at
the same time that they would so en-.
nance the value of lands that the State
would be largely the gamer, therefore be
it resolved, that our Senator and Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature be instruct,
ed, and urged to secure from the State
the passage of the charters, and the
amount of State aid asked for companies
formed, under direction of the COMMITTEES
appointed at this public meeting. The
meeting which was presided over by J.
w. James then adjourned.

believing thas all other cases would be
settled by the decision"
As it was beyond q doubt that some
time must elapse before the test questions
Preferred to could be decided, and as the
country at the time we took charge of
the bank was in a distressed and impoy-
erished condition, it was thought to be
the interest Of the bank not to press the
debtors with any unnecessary harshness
by compelling them to pay costs and
lawyers fees. But suits have been
brought to force collections whenever the
interest of the bank demanded it, and we
are not aware that dollar has been lost
to the bank by delay and we know that
much has been gained by the bank, by
way Of interest on the debt due. On the
bills and notes now due and unpaid, in
GLIDING the debt paid South, the annual
interest accruing to the bank would be
Sl33905 Ca sum amply sufficient to
pay any losses that may 6y possibility be
sustained in individual cases-amply SUI
ficient to pay all expenses that may be
incurred in winding up the bank, and
then leave large surplus for the benefit
of its creditors.
1t has been the policy Of the bank to
compromise debts, in order to secure
those which are doubtful, and to avoid
expensive litigation. There has been no
instance in which compromise has be.R
made that has not resulted favorably to
the bank. In one instance of compro-
mise, we know that the bank was saved
upward of $4,000. We know Of no in
stance in which we have refused COM
promise offs doubtful debt that the bank
has not lost byit.
The undersigned was appointed Trustee
by the first Board Of Directors, and under
the act for winding up the bank, and was
subsequently, appointed Trustee and re-
ceiyer by the Chancery Court Of David
son county, and has since that time been
acting under the supervision and direc.
ton of that Court. Full reports of his
acts, and the condition of the bank have
been made to the regular terms Of the
Court, all Of which have been confirmed.
The State has no interest in winding
up the Bank Of Tennessee, excepting as
guardian Of the interests and rights Of
the people, for not one dollar of its assets
can come into its treasury, it being i'm
possible that enough should be collected
out Of its assets, under the most favor
able circumstances, to pay even the note
holders of the bank.
Although the Trustee is acting under
the supervision Of Court Of Chancery
and of Board of Directors Of the bank,
he will be gratified if your honorable
body will give the affairs Of the bank 8
thorough investigation, knowing that this
investigation will relieve him Of charges
and insinuations, proceeding in most in
stances, he hopes, from q want Of full
knowledge Of the affairs Of the bank.
Very respectfully, S. WATSON,
Trustee of tha Rank of francesca

Ny DEAR PARIsHIoNERs: Ga my re-
turn from the General Convention, found
that such is the condition of the basement
room in which we formerly held religious
worship, that it cannot, for the present, be
used for that purpose and as it is of the
utmost importance that we shall have a
place wherein we can meet together to
offer our accdmstomed homage and wor-
ship to Almighty God, our Heavenly
Father, and especially so to secure the
divine blessing on our enterprise in build
ing house TO His holy name, have the
pleasure to annouce to you, that through
the kindness and courtesy of the pro.
prietor, | have obtained the use of the
chapel of the "Shelby Institute," formerly
Mr.. Buffers school) corner of Broad and
Vine streets, which not being as yet rented,
affords US for the present, a commodious
and comfortable place Of worship.
Divine service may, therefore, be ex-
peeted in said chapel every Sunday morn
ing at IL o'clock, until further notice.
Entrance through the front yard on Broad
street. The public generally are afeo-
tiODately invited to attend.

GENERAL GRANT.--Gen. Dent yesterday
morning received a letter from Gen. Grant in
reply to the one from the Committee Of the
various organizations in Washington, having in
charge the arrangements for his reception, in
which the General states that he would much
prefer returning to his home quietly without
any demonstration being made Gen. Dent,
after consulting with his brother staff officers,
then notified the Committee Of the General )
desire, and suggested that no demonstration be
made upon his arrival, as his family would ae-
company him and he would be worn ont by
travelling. He further suggested TO the COM
mittee of reception that instead OF a pub
lie demonstration the Generals friends in this
city could, few days after his arrival, visit his
residence and tender their congratulations.
Gen. Grant left Galena last night for Wash
ngton, but it is probable that he will stop at
several places, and may not reach this city Tor
several days.
During the interview Gen Dent incidentally
said that Gen. Grant would take care that
every citizen throughout the land should re-
ceive equal and exact justice; and the remark
was received with applause. Wash. Star
