a DRStardly Deed.

The emigrant train from the west, says
the S'!rtT STATE Of Tuesday, on which
there were perhaps sixty passengers, had
Q narrow escape from being ditched,
near Rose Creek, last evening. Some
sooundrel, supposed to be q tramp who
who had been put of a preceding train.
put the end Of rail on the track, on o
down grade. about two miles south Of
Rose Greek, undoubtedly for the pur-
pose Of throwing the train of the track.
Ono end Of the the rail was placed
against the bank and the other end on
the track, over which IL projected about
eighteen inches. The train being q
little behind time, was running at o
lively rate and before IL could be stop
ped on tho down grade the engine
struck the obstruction. Two bars Of
the pilot were broken, and the brace
which held Il TO the engine was bent by
tho force Of the shock. fortunately
mono Of the cars we're thrown of the
track, and no great amount Of damage
VAS done. The State Prison for life
would hardly be sufficient punishment
for the iend who not only endangered
the lives Of the train men, but the fifty
or sixty emigranis, 10 crafty a grudge
against the train men for doing their
duty. Il 10 greatly to be hoped that the
perpetrator Of the dastsrdly deed will be

The yellow Coin.

A considerable quantity Of small
gold coin was handled yesterday and
to-day in the settlement of small
bills. There was scarce a c%ollec-
tor who could not show up the yellow
boys in liberal numbers and of vari-
GUS denominations. Some slightly
rusty, dating back early in the forties
and thirties, even as far as the TWEEN
ties, were seen and passed around.
The small sized gold dollar, the two
and half piece and the solid old
twenty appeared tobe most numerous.
AT present the banks of New York
hold over $50, O0O, 900 in gold coin, and
less than sl4,OOO,OO in paper money,
hence when currency shipments begin
to come this way we may expect plen

Wilson at Nashville.

The Nashville American, which Of

handed notice in its issue of the Isl,
Mr.. Wilson, of Gallatin, a member
Of the legislature, and the nominee for
governor Of some of Mr.. Savage's
friends, who bolted from the state
democratic convention when it met in
this city recently, spoke to a crowd OF
good size nea the courthouse last
evening. A very considerable pro
portion Of his audience was made IN
OF state-credit democrats, attracted
there from curiosity, to see the aspir
ing young gentleman and to hear what
he had to say in explanation Of his &C.
centric enterprise in the manufacture
OF a new party out of such rather
time worn material as Mr.. Savage
and other ancient sOreheads, who have
not seemed to meet with their desired
need Of democratic appreciation.
In numbers and enthusiasm, the
meeting could not have been up TO
the sanguine expectations of the
boilers, who were quite confidently
predicting an ovation" that was to be
something phenomenal ia the way of
a demonstration. If all Of those in
attendance at the BEGINNING, and be.
fore the crowd had dropped off, ma.
terially diminished the audience. had
been Savage or Wilson men--and bows
lit would not have been a ripple IN
comparison to the great popular tidal
waves that characterized the demon
STATIONS in this city during the me
morable johnson and Cheatham con.
tests for congress. The democrats of
Davidson have not forgotten those
excited and immense popular demon
STATIONS, nor have they forgotten.
that notwithstanding them, Mr.. May.
nard, with a much less demonstrativc
following, was elected over both Of
them. The continuation of Mr.. VIII.
son in the field as a candidate for
democratic votes cannot possibly ac.
cOmplish any more than was accom-
plished in hat division-namely, the
election of a republican.

A marked decline is noted to-day
in meats; sugar has also dropped
and indicates a further decline, apples
are decidedly lower, owing chiefly to
heavy receipts, though the crop in the

Wholesale dealers selling at l5l to Ice,
while smaller dealers get from II to

weak, with a downward tendency.
Flour is steady, with a good jobbing
demand. The market shows a
brisk jobbing movement in all
lines Of provisions, breadstufFs
and merchandise, but feed is in light
movement with but little more than a
