DIED.

Al the residence of his brother. Capt. era "
ford Fletcher. in Arkansas county, OF cOnges-
tive fever, CARROLL FLETCHER, at II O'Clock on
| Sunday, the Sth of November, 1868. -s H.r..
son of the late Hon. Thomas ii. Fletcher
| who was long and well known as q prominent
| member of the Tennessee bar. CARROLL FLKTCH-
RP was borE in Nashville. and while yet youth
removed with other members of the family to
this State, nearly twenty years ago. and has
since that time ever resided in our midst.
| son of the South, he has ever been true to her
| interest in feeling and impulse. No sordid mo
tive ever led him in thought or deed to desert a
| lost cause or its unfortunate and impoverished
supporters True to his country. true to bis
friends, and true to his own nobility of chsrao-

| of q gentleman.
Death may never a ain take from our midst
one so respected. SO hon0red. so beloved by all.
| as a brother, friend and q citizen. 1t can be
said of few, as of him, that all who knew him
admired and loved him. and he never had an
enemy. His manners ever gentle, winning and
attractive, his character for the strictest honor
and the largest liberality. united with a truly
feminine amiability of disposition, gave him
ever the warmest place in the hearts of both
relatives and friends. His fine conversational
powers, his well known affability and polite
ness, and his always evident efforts to please
Others rather than himself made him always a
mast agreeable companion. and earned him
that most enyiable title. "a Southern gentle
man."
His death leaves a vacant chair by our
hearth stone. and a silent voice in tho family

SERIOUS LINES or AN EsrIMABLE CrTr-
zEN.-Our worthy and highly esteemed cis-
izsn, John MoClslIand, y, s. Revenue As
SCISSOR for this district, was taken violently i'll
about noon yesterday, and at s O'clock last
night but little hope was entertained of his
recovery. His very many warm friends
were extremely solicitous in his behalf,
and expressed hope that he might re-
cover; but it is more than probable from
what we heard of his conditions, that be-
fore this paragraph is read, his spirit
will be in the land of the hereafter.
ANOTHER RoBBERY.-About o'clock
yesterday morning the house occupied by
a colored woman named Anthony, who
lives between Woodland and Russell street,
was entered by thieves, and considerable
amount of clothing stolen. The woman
and her daughters took in washing, and
had in the house number ofshirts and IN
derwear, belonging to George Howard,
Mr.. Cahal, Newton Mcclure, Mr.. ODcn'
nell and others, which garments were
taken of. The burglars also obtained some
! poultry belonging to the old woman.
INDIGNANT.-Someo of the Little Boston
merchants are indignant because OF thu
fact that a large number of ax-handle
had been shipped from Nashville to Aus
tralia. Several enterprising firms hsv'
put their heads together, and have deter
mined to ship lot of coon skins TO Rus
sia, some potatoes TO Ireland and lot o
pipes to Germany. The packages will b
forwarded to-day. 2 "a = --st' IA

~The Burial OfLntaDe-


We notice that Paul, Tavel & Hammer
Union Street. have in their window, an
engraving of w. D. Washington's Painting
of the burial OF Latsne." Capt. Lstane
was graduate of the University Of Vir-
ginia, and at the breaking out of the late
war, raised cavalry company. During
the Pamunky exhibition, which took place
IN 1862, under the command of Gen.
Stuart, c. S. A, he led brilliant charge
upon the Federals, and, although in a
measure successful, he purchased victory
with his life. His body was carried by his
brother to the neighboring plantation Of
Mrs. Brockenbrough, but while on this
errand, Lieut. Latane was Overtaken by a
party of Federais, who, allowing him to
place his charge in friendly hands, then
took him away prisoner. Mrs. Broken
brough sent for an Episcopal clergyman to
perform the funeral ceremony, but the
enemy would not permit him 20 pass the
lines. She then, with the assistance Of one
or two other ladies, and the negro servants
Of the family, undertook the sad Office Of
the burial. The picture shows US the
nantled body by the open grave, the faith
ful group aronnd it, the piOus matron, with
eyes turned heavenward, reciting the
beautiful buria! service of the Episcopal
Church, fair-baired little girl who has
brought white flowers from the garden to
strew upon the dead, the lovely women
sOrrowing for the fate of their brave cham
pion, aud the humble slaves looking rever-
emily on, ready TO consigL the insnimate
form 10 its last resting-plsce. The whole
forms very touching and impressive scene
the spirit and sentiment Of which have
been very alphabetically rendered by
the engraver.

The New York Times says: The banks
appear to have made their lose of green
backs entirely voluntary by Increasing
their loans and discounts, while the drain
of currency for the South and West was
known to be going on, and which these IA
cilities, if to the country banks, would be
sure 10 promote. The recent change of
order from the Treasury Department,
which is esteemed wise one, requiring
the Collectors of Revenue 10 make their
deposits primarily with the Sub-Treasu-
ries throughout the country, tends 10 con-
centrste the funds of the Government in
its New York and other prominent offices;
chiefly at New York, and it has also made
necessary the transfer of money to the
office here, for account Of the national
banks of the interior, heretofore acting as
Repositories of revenue. This, however,
will prove only temporary Inconvenience,
as it is not the purpose of the Secretary,
we believe, to let his New York accumula-
ton of currency, above reasonable
working balance, remain long idle. He
will make no further sales of gold bearing
stocks, and it is doubtful whether he will
feel the need Of further sales of gold, al
though holding himself at liberty to avail
of the higher price of gold, should specu-
lation or the demand for Europe materially
advance it. The talk about the Treasury
being reduced to small gold balance after
the New Year, is about as we'll founded
(but no bettsr) as the same discussion, to
promote rise 10 the Gold Room, which
was SO freely INDUCED after the July gold
interest and the Alaska purchase we're
provided for. The Treasury will scarcely
pay ont $l2,0O0,0O0 for gold intersst in
January, in excess of the customs receipts
of the month, and should no further sales
of gold be made, hence to the lat of Janu-
airy, the balance then belonging to The
government will be within two or three |
millions of the balance on the lat OF De- |
cember, inst, viz: sos, l69, 900, after pro-
viding for all outstanding gold notes.
The banks of New York have at present
under loan and discouni ST., 900, 900 10 ex-
cess of this time last year, on the same
capital. As noticed some time ago, on
this point, We believe that some of them
feel the necessity of banking closer en-
their deposits than heretofore, in order to
keep up their dividends, as against the
present heavy taxation and the amount of
interest allowed upon country bank bill
.nces the year round, although frequently
to employ part of these balances
