A REMARKABLE PEN,--We have been
shown very ingenious instrument known
as the MacKinnon pen, The handle Of the
instrument being IN ink reservoir its adyan-
tages over the ordinary pen are very great,
as it does away entirely with the annoy
anccs associated with the present method,
such as dipping for ink, scratching, blot
ting, etc, etc, The point of the pen being
perfectly round and smooth it gldes over
the surface of the paper so easily that it en-

Tl,e Tennessee Sfnte Deht.

Cor. of the COurier-Journal.l
NASHVILLE, December 16.--Three
weeks from to-day the general assem-
bly, of Tennessee win meet in regular
session, and already q feYerish anxiety
in regard to the results Of the meeting
has been manifested, not only by the
people of the State, but by many out
side Gifts borders. Much is expected
of the next legislature, for there are
many important questions to be acted
upon, and that without delay, Tow
ering far above these IN Importance is
the subject of the settlement of the
State debt, which demands careful
handling and much calm and
deep Confederation, The bonded
Indebtedness Of Tennessee is
$40, 221, 300, and increasing at
the rate Of about $1,250,000 per
annum. 1t would seem that the pres
ent magnitude of the debt, and the
daily increase Of nearly $4,000, which
is added to it, render il an imperative
necessity that, for the good of the
present generation and their posterity,
some satisfactory arrangement for the
payment of the debt should be made,
if not at the coming session, at the
earliest practicable time %afterward. 1t
is contended by many hat the people
are not IN a colditiea to pay the hold
ers of the bonds of their State now
but that in a few years, when better
times roll around, and money Is more
plentiful than it is at present, the
