RELATION OF GOLD AND SILVER

Mr.. HEWITT, of N. Y, said there are few
questions Of more consequence or of more deli
cacy and difhculty than this which relates to the
financial interests of the country. When men
suffer in health they send for doctor, and when
they are engaged in litigation they send for .

the Individual alone suffers. But In q delicate
question like this, where the whole country would
suffer, all seem competent to act, and men are
asked to act hastily on measure which all do
not fully understand He pleaded for time. He

We learn that John Stewart, son
Of Captain Ned Stewart, was very
badly cut in a difficulty with Jo Sell
lers, about four miles south of here
on Monday evening last. We did not
hear particulars.
We regret to learn that Mr. Dick
Stanley, who lives about one and
half miles southwest Of town, had the
misfortune, on last Friday night, to
have his house burned to the ground.
He also lost nearly all his household
furniture.
We are glad to note that our young
friend kozzie Harrison has been ap>

this place to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Mr. Taylor. We
think the company will find him
promptand efficient in the discharge of
his duties.
On Saturday Mr. Il. F. Trus!ow, the
gentleman who had several hundred

stolen from his bedroom some time

which he recognized as one of the
stolen ones. He Immediately went
to the negro that gave him the watch,
who said that he traded for il with
Charles Gardner, (col. who lives
near McLemoresvile. Mr. Truslow,
accompanied by town Marshall Briant,
straightway set out after Gardner,
whom they found near Trezevant.
When arrested he was wearing a
watch which Mr. Trusluw identified as
one Of his. Gardner frankly owned
up that the watches were the ones
stulen from Mr. Truslow, but stated |
thtt John Harris, (the negro who

also stated that more of the watches, |
tied up in a sack, were concealed in the |

Gardner, in this place. Returning to |
town Lou's house was searched, and |
in trunk, tied up in an old pant leg, |
were found twenty>one watches and |
seven gold rings, all Of which were |
