THE ST. Louis Republican, Of Friday,
contains letter signed w. B. Newell,
in which he explains the present inan-
cial condition of Tennessee, and says:
"The depression which exists in the
price Of Tennessee bonds is caused by
a few demagogues who are endeavoring
to get into Office by advocating a two
mill State tax. The people of Tennes-
see are too honorable and prudent to
cover themselves with the stain of dis
honesty under a plea of insolvency
which has no foundation, but will con-
sign to oblivion those who are at pres
ent advocating policy which, if carried
out, would disgrace the States good
name in the markets of the world"

A GENTLEMAN well posted IN North
Carolina politics informs us that the
negro who is the sole representative of
Radicalism and Civil Rights on the
Congressional delegation elected last
week IN North Carolina, went to Wash
ington a few months ago with such
modest aspirations that he wanted
only $500 clerkship IN a
postal service. For this small
favor he buttonholed in vain
his Cong Iessman, who treated the
darky IN search of his civil rights with
such coolness savouring Of contempt,
that the latter left in high dudgeon,
vowIng ne would go back home and
beat him for the Congressional nomi-
nation, which he did, and has been
elected to the seat from which he can
dispense postal clel kships to other as
pIring darkies.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-A London letter
says report has suddenly gained currency
that the long expected crisis has occurred
IN the financial affairs Of the Prince Of
Wales, and that the Ministry have made
up their minds to propose TO the House Of
Commons next session to pay his debts.
The sum named is 10000 pounds sterling,
four times the sum voted in 17S7 70 appease
creditors Of that pattern of Royalty who
Afterwards became George the Fourth.
About paying the bills there are certain
to be two powerful and contradictory senti-
ments, one that the honor of the nation IS
concerned ir providing FOX the debts Of its
future king, the other that these debts are
OF a character which ought to be paid out
Of the accumulated fortune Of the Queen.
The latter view resis1on the well known
fact that the Queen has been receiving ever
since the death Of Prince Albert the whole
Of the income calculated ather accession to
support the eNIeEses Of court In the usual
degree of splendor; that her majesty has,
however. lived during this period
tlr the most part in re-
tireInent. AMI that the cost Of drawing
room leyees and other royal pageantries
have in fact fallen upon the Prince and
Princes Of Wales, whose income has been
unequal TO such burden. The existing
debts, or a considerable part of them, have,
according TO this theory, been incurred in
the discharge Of these duties. Hence it Is
urged that the Queen, who has had and
kept the money given her by the State for
such purposes, ought to pay them. The
Prince of Wales has 10000 a year plus
the revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall,
which now amount to over 100000 per
annum.
LONDON, Aug. S.-There was a serious
riot in Portsmouth tonight, in consequence

Huntsville TENN Sentinel, Aug.1.
The home Of Mr.. Arch Oglesby was the
scene OF another destructive fire on Sunday
evening. Il appears that there was a sick
child in the house and the candle had been
set or the wall plate in an upper room
WHERE il was supposed TO be in a safe place.
Nearly all the members Of the fsmily were
attending meeting at the Green Grove
Meeting house at the time, and Mr.. Ogles-
by was the only man at home. When the
fire was discovered il had obtained a good
hold and was more than Mr.. Oglesby could
Subdue, though he labOred hard. He had
barely time TO rescue the children, but was
severely hurt in getting out Of the burning
premises. With the exception of two
straw beds. his household plumber was de-
stroyed not even a particle Of clothing be
ing saved. Every building in his yard eN-
cent the meat house was licked up by the
devouring element. Many of the people
residing in the neighbOrhoOd on seeing the
fre rushed to the spot, but We're unable TO
render any assistance.
WE called to see Gen. Whitthorne last
Tuesday evening. and found him cOnva-
lescent, but still quite feeble and far from
well. He has had a very severe spell OF
sickness, and cannot safely enter the Con-
grcSsiOnal canvass for some time. de eN-
presses great regret that he is not able TO
meet his constituents at the appointed
times and places, but hopes 10 he well
enough To do so ere long. When be does
meet them. we feel sure he will give a good
and satisfactory account of his stewardship.
