STABBING AFFAIR. On Sunday
morning a quarrel arose between Mr..
Hanks. proprietor of the Southern
Hotel, and young man named Steele,
who had been acting as clerk in the
hotel. The result was that Hanks
was stabbed with a small pocket
knife in six different places. The
wounds are severe, but are not con-
sidered dangerous. AS in all such
affairs, there are several versions Of
the case, and we refrain from giving
any of them until an Investigation be
had. Steele is, we are told, still in
the city, but. up to yesterday evening,
no complaint had been lodged against
him, nor had he been arrested. Mr..
Hanks was reported to be improving

The Last Hours OF A. J.

The close Of Andrew Johnson's administration is
vastly like that Of James Buchsnans. TIE only
members of his Cabinet who retain their selfrespeCt
are beginning TO cut loose. Late dispatches from
New York indicate shat Mr.. Seward is inCensed at
tho courge Of Reverdy johnson, our Minister 10
London, and that the latter has been acting under
outside orders from A. j. in the matter of the Ala
bama claims. Possibly Mr.. Stewards endorsement
Of Grant at Auburn Just before the late election,
has had something 10 do with the conflict.
As the end approaches, Andrew johnson will
have ample time. 90 compare notes with himself

A Louisville COuPtezan HelreSs to
$500. 900 In Gold.

The Louisville Democrat of Tuesday says
One Of the frail sisters of our city, who is well
known in sporting circles, under an assumed name
will be somewhat astonished this morning, if she is
still in Louisville, to learn that she has fallen heir
to the snug little fortune of 100000 in gold, and
that the solid cash is ready TO be planked down to
her as soon as she calls for it. 1t is her portion Of
an estate, valued at $666, ,l78, left by her grand
father, the Rev. William Williams, of London,
England
Judge w. NJ Leslie, of Illinois, attorney for and
heir 10 the estate arrived in the city last evening
in search of the heiress. He has drawn the full
amount in gold and holds the girls portion at this
time subject to her order. The name of the lucky
woman who has thus suddenly been elevated from
poverty to princely afluence is Miss Mary Hayes,
but she has never been known by this, her true
name since she left her home in Columbus, Ohio,
where some of her relatives now reside.
When Mary was babe, her parents, who were
wealthy and prominent citizens of Maryland re-
moved to Columbus, Ohio, where she was raised,
and received the benefit of a good education. At
the ago of eighteen she was betrayed by young
man whom she "loved not wisely but too well -
Under promise of marriage she left with him for
Cincinnati, where he basely deserted her. Being
unwilling TO return TO her once happy home, she
wandered from city to another, leading life of
shame, until about two years ago. when she came TO
this city, where she has resided up TO this time. Her
pride and good sense has never permitted her to fall
to the lower depths of degradation, and, nOtwith-
standing the life she has led her demeanor has al
ways been ehaste and lady-like.

Gen. JOS A. Mabry President RnorriIke and Re,,-
tueky Railroad Company:
Dear Sir: The undersigned, natives of Wales
having been engaged for many years in the manu-
facture Of iron, both in our native country and in
Pennsylvania, and other portions Of this country,
during which time we have had charge of extern
siye ron-works, have just returned from trip over
the line of the Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad
made for the purpose Of examining into the min
eral resources of that section of East Tennessee
We have traced very valuable vein of fossilife-
rOus iron ore, OF excellent quality extending for
over ten miles in the immediate vicinity of said
Railroad, from Ross in anderson county, to Wheel
er's, in Campbell county, crossing the Railroad
twice. and for the entrs distance so near is it as 20
give every advantage for the establishment Of iron
works.
This vein is cut By the tunnel at Indian Grave
Gap at which point the solid ore measures four feet
in thickness, nearly if not quite equal in value to
the celebrated ore of Lake Superior and yielding,
in estimation, from sixty TO seventy per cent of
iron.
In the immediate vicinity of said ore, we also
find four valuable beds of COAL of excellent quality,
varying from two to four feet in thickness
The result Of this examination convinces us that
the advantages offered for the manufacture of iron
on the line Of said Railroad, for the section exam
ined by US, extending from thirty to forty miles
from the city of Knoxville, superior to those of
any point in Pennsylvania; that the iron can be
made at less cost and of excellent quality and that
