A Peaceful CITY.

The evening clouds of summer heavens
When folded in the star. lustered beauty of
twilight, ne'er had repose more calm than
has our city for the last twenty-four hours.
The only arrest made since night before
last was that of Della Martin, an old color
ed woman, whose farewell lament for the
star-spsngled Fourth of July being induced
to disagreeable conduct in the form of d.
yers physical gyrations and vocal gymnas-
tics, caused her to come within the pur-
view OF the police, who apprehended the
old lady, but released her to appear this
morning before Judge Halle. Some say
the green-eyed monster inflamed Aunt
Dinah to this circus like performance.

Far Away from Home.

We take the following from the Chatta
nooga Herald, July 4:
"a small boy about eight years old, giving
bis name as Peter Riley, arrived in the city
yesterday from New York, having
travelled all the way alone. He is perfect
stranger here, and consequently met &c
oae to take care of him. He says
that his father, whose name is James
Riley, came with his mother to Chatta,
nooga a month or so ago, while he re-
manned behind with an uncle in New Y ork
He now comes to JON bis parents, but
whether or not they have been in Chatta-
nooga seems not to be known. James is a
bright little boy Of small size, and contem-
plates his situation with perfect GOODNESS.
He was taken charge Of by Mr.. j. j. Sulli.
van, on Ninth street, TO whom any inqui.-
ing friends may apply.

The Immigration Movement.

The Tennessee immigration Company
which has an agency in England, is doing
good work. Through this agency letter
was received some time since, making ap-
plicstion for employment for Mr.. Nichol-
SOD, an experienced English farmer, and
son of Thos. Nicholson, Baptist clergy
man. The Company succeeded imme-
diately in obtaining for him situation on
the farm of Mr.. Williams, Of Maury county,
and Mr.. n. and his family are expected to
arrive here in a few days. The Company
is in correspondence with some thirty others
from England, all of whom, it is expected,
will locate in some of our adjoining coun-
ties.

An Old Criminal.

Yesterday the Sheriff of Williamson
county arrived here with an old man
named John Garner, recently convicted l J
the Circuit Court at Franklin Of horse steal
ing, and sentenced to q years Imprison-
ment. Garner was previously imprisoned
for the same offense, and was pardoned
about ten months ago by Gov. Senter. He
does not seem to have derived any moral
improvement from his bitter experience
and former Imprisonment, though 1t is quite
likely he will now, being only Y years of
age. 1t is sad to see guilt usurp the golden
bloom of youths glowing cheek, but when
it comes to tarnish the silvered locks of tot
tering age, the reality is most frightful and
sickening.

Excitement at PinsOn-A Negro ON
the Rampage.

A negro was brought into the city Mon
day evening, by the Deputy Sheriff Moore,
tied. He was lodged in Jail and will be
tried this morning. His name is Walsh
Conley, and is about forty years old. On
last Sunday evening, late, he met man by
the name of Smith and one by the name
of, Shanty, going from Pinson, both
of whom it seems were very drunk;
but Smith being too drunk to ride, it
was proposed that he be laid out on the
roadside to nap, about this time the negro
came along, and was asked by Shanty to
help him with Smith, which he did. Smith,
however, not taking it very kindly, struck
the negro several blows, which the negro
says made him mad, and upon that he
drew pocket knife and severed Smiths
organ Of generation from his body. 1t is
said that Shanty fed. The negro then
went to Pinson, it being con-
siderably after night and broke
into Mr.. Cherries daughters
room. He went from there to Mr.. Dick
eDson's and stole some sugar. Mr.. Dick
enson shot at him. He fed from there to
a school house, where he was arrested.
Drs. Muse and Hurd are tending on Smith,
and it is thought he will recover. A great
deal of feeling was manifested at Pinson
over the affair. The negro is said to be a
very desperate character. We trust the
authorities will glue him his just dues. We
learn since writing the above that Smith,
in the judgment of the doctors, cannot re-

The Peoples Stamp of Value.-Tbe

Government endorsement, VIII h legalzes
the sale of Plantation Bitters, is not the
only stamp affixed to that famous Vegeta-
bic Tonic. 1t bears, in addition to that Of
fetal sanction, the still more valuable stamp
Of public appreciation. This inestimable
voucher of its rare properties as Tonic,
Corrective and Alternative, is Of much ear
her date than the Government crecential;
for millions of sick persons had pronounced
it the Grand Specific of the age long before
Congress thought of taxing proprietary
medicines. It Is unnecessary to repeat, in
detail, the properties of this wonderful Veg
etable Invigorant. The best reference that
can be offered to those who desire the full
particulars of its virtues, is the General
Public. Ask those who have tried it as a
remedy for dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness, intermittent fevers, nervous debility,
rheumatism, sea sickness, low spirits, or
loss of vital power, what Plantation Bitters
has done for them, and be governed by the
response they make to your inquiries.

ALLEN VS.. NELSON EFT AL.--Being suit
in the Circuit Court of Shelby county
against Nelson ct al. as endorses on note.
Defendants subsequently fled petition in
bankruptcy, the decree Of discharge being
obtained In regular process. No action on
said note was bad in the Circuit Court while
proceedings in bankruptcy were being car
ried on In the Federal Court. The
suit on the note was tried in the Circuit
Court and with it verdict and Judgment
obtained against Nelson ct al, they having
failed to plead discharge in bankruptcy, all
said proceedings being after the discharge
was granted. Nelson ct al, before the
term, at which judgment was rendered, ex-
pired, moved for new trial and in arrest of
judgment, in support of which motions one
of them filed bis affidavit, setting forth as
excuse for failure to plead the decree of
discharge that he supposed his attorney
knew Of their having obtained the decree
of discharge and that he would have put in
the plea, but the attorney did not know it,
hence the plea was not fled.
New trial refused but arrest Of judgment
ordered,
Upon error to the Supreme Court, held,
Mcfarland j. delivering orally the opin-
ion OF the COURT that Il was error in the
Circuit Judge to arrest the judgment; that
the decree of discharge in bankruptcy like
any other defense arising during the pro-
gress OF the action must be pleaded since
the last continuance; and if not pleaded is
to be deemed waived by the defendant.
Further, held, that. the cause assigned in
the affidavit for the omission To plead the
discharge was sufficient to authorize a new
trial, and that it was error in the Cir
cult Judge to override the motion for a
new trial.
WILLIAMS & Co., VS.. LoAGUE, CLERK
COUNTY COURT.-Williams & Co, mercb-
ants in 1860, rendered in payment for re-
neWal OF their merchants license for the
ensuing twelve months to League, Clerk of
the County Court of Shelby county, then

Court for nad,addnLS for League to issue
the license on their payment of the reuuis-
lite amount in said bills. SO adjudged;
from which Loague took the cause by writ
OF err or to the Supreme Court, which af.
tirmed the judgment of the Law Court, in
conformity with the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
Upon application of the Attorney Gene
raj OF the State for an order upon Williams,
etc., to pay the Bank of Tennessee bills in
to court for the use of the State and coun-
ty, the question was raised whittier interest
from the filing of the petition to the present
time was chargeable against Williams, ETC.,
on the amount of bills rendered and owing
but not heretofore paid for the license tax.
Held; That interest is not chargeable on
taxes in default; and that Williams, ETC.,
be required to pay into court the original
amount only of the license tax, without
any interest on the same.

RATS have an unaccOuntable fondness
for the taste of phosphorus, and to this fact
may be attributed the origin of many mys-
ferrous fires. These rodents build their
nests of infammable materials and take to
them any stray matches that they find

they undertake to crafty their appetites
by nibbling the coated ends of the matches,
which are at once ignited, when the nest is
set in blaze, and the destruction Of the
