The Knoxville Begister of the IBili iiuianl,
says: We omit toil in our last, issue to ay any
thing of the Batik of Bast Tennessee, for the

The Brunches, as we liftvr heretofore stated,
have suspended, the Bank at Knoxville is re

probable number of such in circulation, we
are unadvised
Divers rumors are afloat in reference to the

Book Keeping.
This science, bo necessary to the success ui
young melt, is proposed to lie taught in out
city, by Mr. 1!. ('. Iluyden, who comes among
o.- highly recommended, both as a competent
teacher, and practical Book Keeper, by some
ot’ the best Merchants of the .North. Mr. li.
Ins come South with a view of testing the ef
fect of our mild climate on his constitution,
which has been somewhat ini pared by the sc
ver-ty of the chilling blasts of the North. He
proposes to open a class Ihe second week in
January, llis services ire much needed in
our city. We copy the notice of iiis departure
from his native town, from the Waterbary
lI’l.) American:
We regret to learn that our esteemed young
triend and fellow citizen, Mr. Henry C Hay
den, feels compelled by the precarious state of
In- health, to give up his residence in this city
and leave for a more genial clime. Though a
young man, he lias by the able and satisfactory
manner in which lit* has discharged the duties
of the various posts ho has been called upon
to till, gained the respect and confidence of his
townsmen, whose best wishes will accompany
him. W’o regret the necessity which compels
him to leave us, because he belongs to a class
us young men of whom there cannot be too
many in any community. He loaves about the
Ist of December, for Columbus, (la., where he
roes as agent of the Wheeler & Wilson M’lg
Cos. Wo hope in the “Sunny South” he will
regain his health, and be enabled to return
halo and hearty.
We are please to leant from evidence hi his
possession, that he dues not belong to that
class, in his native State, denominated fanat
ics ; but is a believer in the right of the people
of the territories to decided the question of
slavery for themselves when they knock at the
door of the Union for admission.

Walker’* Prospects.
A writer in theNew York Times takes a more
hopeful view of Walker's prospects than most ol
those who have commented on the late accounts
front Nicaragua, lie estimates his force bo
fore the arrival of the last accounts at I.” 00
men; (including lleuningsen'scommand) hold
ing possession of the most commanding points
on the Isthmus, without counting the expected
i e-iuforcentents or the detached and lloatiug
parties.
Ifenningsen (he tells ns) occupied at the last
accounts, the Church of San Sebastian on a
height in an excellent defensive position, and
was well supplied with artillery and the neces
sary munitions of war.
* % \
The writer sums up his statements as fid
lows :
Including the last reinforcements, General
Walker must have found himself on landing at
Virgin Hay at the head of ten or twelve linn- :
died men independent of lleuningsen’s com
mand, ami with the means of transporting
them by steam in one night to points within a
league of Granada, where he could take the
allies at disadvantage on llank and rear. It
i-. hardly possible therefore to suppose lie tail
ed to relieve the Americans in Granada before j
their condition became desperate.
The California train having already been
protected across the 1 shunts by his decisive
action, and having safely embarked its treas
ure and passengers on board the New York
steamer, General Walker would bo at liberty
to throw all his force on Granada, and not on
ly relieve General llcnningsen, but living the
nar to a close in one decisive battle.
•hi a careful examination of all the proba
bilities, 1 believe this result may bo expected
with much better reason than we can suppose
that a force of two thousand Americans will
utter thoiuselv s to tie driven from the great
Mlmitts highway and yield to their enemies
ihut communication so important to all the
States of the Union as well as to Nicaragua.
Yours, Amkrmts.

Jacob Little’s Failure.
A corrcsponddent of tly; (Charleston Courier,
thus explains the late failure ot Mr. Kittle, of
New Fork:
“The true cause of the failure ol Jacob Lit
tle lias, not yet, been publicly stated, lie wits
a strong Fremont nuiu, and really thought li-.
would be elected. Knowing that if such an
event had occurred, there would have been ex
citement throughout the country, that busi
ness would receive tearful shock, and calam
ities portend, he calculated that about this time,
timid the universal apprehension of all conser
vative commercial men, negotiations would be
.suspended, veal estate declined, and securities
of every description tumble down, and he
would reap the profits of the public disaster.
Another A ut for Bonnet to Crack.
A friend from Baltimore has placed in the
hands of the oh it or of the lliclunoiid Dispatch,
the following copy a letter, received by a gen
tleman of that city, front two ruawuy .servants,
(liis coarcliinait and nurse,) who had abscond
ed to Canada. They have seen enough of
freedom, and arc anxious to return to slavery.
The Dispatch omits tiic names and I’ost Office,
as no doubt Bennett, Greeley & Cos., would try
to intercept the return of the fugitives, if
they could identify their persons:

Facilities for Committing Clime.
The New York Police Gazette, speaking of a
late arrest of burglars in that city, says :
“The facilities which the thieves of New
York have for committing crime are almost be
yond belief. Their organization is complete.
In searching Moore’s house after his escape,
the police discovered a number of confidential
letters from nearly all parts of the coun
try. These letters it would bo highly injudi
cious to publish, as they implicate respectable
merchants out West and parties in this city,
who arc supposed to beyond suspicion. These
letters showed the facility afforded thieves in
disposing of their property. There were also
letters from the owner of a noted “fence” in
Tenth-street, la perusing these letters care
fully, it was also discovered that this gang,
with which Moore was connected, had mechan
ics and laborers in their employ, who furnish
ed them with a. full aud accurate description of
the houses they were at work upon.
“There were also found a number of dia
grams of stores and dwellings, of an innumer
able number ol houses in this city, how the va
rious apartments were laid out, and, if a store,
where the safe or silks were deposited: if a
dwelling house, where the money or the silver
plate was located. Who furnished the thieves
with these diagrams ‘! There is not a store or
house worth breaking into but is well known
to the burglars as to the owners themselves.
Even the very locks on the doors are known,
yet no impression has been made with wax.
Who gives information of this character V New
York is at the mercy of thieves: no police,
however effective, can afford adequate protec
tior.”

Judge Locomptc.
V telegraphic, despatch from Washington to
the Baltimore papers, state that the truth of
the rumor of the removal of Judge Leconipte
i now continued by the nomination, by the
President to the Senate, of .Lames O. Harrison,
of Kentucky, as Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Kansas. This removal was contem
plated at least forty days ago, and of which, it
is ttuid, Judge Lccoinpte was aware, but up to
this time nothing has boon hoard from him in
defence of his official conduct. The recent
proofs and representations of Governor Geary
determined the course of the administration in
the premises.

Early Marriages.
V traveller in the East writes a- follows on
early marriages:
On making a call, the other day, at the house
of an American missionary in Jerusalem, 1
saw a little boy, in the Turkish costume, sit
ting on a sofa. My first thought was, “What
an enormous turban the boy has on !” and my
second, “How very small lie is!” Judge of
my surprise when I found he was a husband,
being little more than ten years old, and his
wife not nine ! Truly, this is beginning life
young. Vnd this reminds mo that a friend of
out • -aw an Armenian lady in Alexandria,
who, although but twenty.six years of age,
was a graml-mother ! This goes i|uite bcymnl
the curly marriages in the United States.

An Editor Steals a Kins.
W ho among our readers lias not taken part
m u contest, somewhat similar to the following
so felicitously described by one of the gallant
young men of the cold- water States ? The
battle is btween the editor aud his sweet-heart.
The prize, a kiss. The swain opens the sub
ject—
‘Oh, now Sarah, dear, give me a kiss—just
one—and he done with it.’
‘I won’t! so there now.’
I’hen I II have to take it whether or no.
‘Take it, if you dare ! ’
So at it we went, rough and nimble. An
awful destruction now commenced. The bow
ot my cravat was squat up in half ol'no time.
Vt the next bout smash went shirt oollan, and
at the same time some of the head fixings
gave way, and down came .Sally’s hair like a
flood in a mill dam broke loose, carrying half a
dozen combs. One plunge of Salty’s elbow,
and my blooming bosom ruffles wasted to the
consistency and lortu of on after dinner nap
kin. But she had tio time to boast. JSoon
her neck-tacking began to shiver, parted at
the throat, and away went a string of white
beads, scampering and running races every
way you could think about the floor. She
fought lair, however, t must admit, and when
she could light no longer, for want of breath
she yielded handsomely, aud her anils fell
down by her side—those long, white rosy
anas—her hair hung back over tho chair, her
eyes half shut, as if she were not able to hold
them open a minute long..!', and there lay a lit
tle plump mouth in the air ? My goodness !
Did you ever see a hawk pounce upon a robin,

Bodging a Dun.
iconic can scent a dun m any distance, and
can dodge him effectively, it is a knack ac
quired by long dxperii’ticc. If the dun, how
ever, by his experience, becomes expert, the
dunned stands a slinl chance of escape.
We heard a story the other day of old Dr. G.
ot Portsmouth, which isto t lie point, as regards
amateur dunning : for there is a wide differ
ence between the amateur and the profession
al.
Dr. G. was a man of great integrity and
worth, and his business habits were on the
square, exacting every tiling that was his own
and paying every man liis due. He Held a
note against a gentleman of Hampton for some
considerable amount, and wherever he met him
the Doctor was ready, note in hand, for the
payment of an instalment, i t became at last
tin agonizing dread with the debtor about meet
ing tho Doctor, particularly tit the time when
troubled with a disease known in the financial
parlance as “shorts.” But whenever he met
him the Doctor’s dun would be anticipated by
his debtor's movement lbr liis pocket book,
and frequent payments were made without sce
ing the note at all. He knew that the Doctor
was honest and that it would be all right, and
several payments were thus blindly made.
A great dearth of funds made him more shy
ol meeting the Doctor, and as lie passed through
the town his eyes wandered in all directions to
catch a glimpse of bis dread and avoid Him if
possible, lie succeeded I'm awliile, and out
generaled the old man several times; but late
dues nut always favor the brave, and the Doc
tor from a distant position saw his victim tie
his horse to a post and enter a store, lie
made all tho haste lie could, and entered the
store just as bis debtor dud<rod Lehiml a rice
cask.’
•• Didii t i sec Mr.— emuo in here V”
asked the Doctor.
“ He did come in hero, sir,” said the shop
keeper, “but he has gone somewhere now.”
The Doctor said lie was not in a hurry, and
could wait as well as not: ho saw liis horse at
the door, and thought he would be buck before
long. The man remained hid, and the old Doc
tor waited a long time. At last fie went out.
Shortly alter Mr.— himself went out,
ami was just stepping upon his wagon when
the Doctor darted at him from a door way.
“ Belt, Mr. ,” said he, “you needn’t
dodge me atty more. That note has been paid
tip these six months, and I have been trying
to see you that 1 might pay you hack twenty
dollars that you over paid me.

Insurrections.
The rumors of a negro in. urteclion in Har
rison county, Texas, have led to the appoint
ment of a committee to in\. stigutc the matter.
Thu committee report that they find no evi
dence of any concert of action, or any definite
ideas among the negroes of what they would
or could do, or any real iiUeuUpu of doing any
thing. There had been a good deal of loose
talk “about the late election, the prospects of
Ercciuont s election, and the belief of some
that they would be tree, ti Fremont was elec
ted. I’he committee find no evidence that
any white man was implicated with the ne
groes, but they suggest the necessity for each
ami every slave holder keeping a strict watch
over his own negroes aud premises, amluotal
uwing any negroes but hi.- own to visit liis
premise-, without a peeia! p„nuit. They al
so rteoin end the keeping up patrols in tb
Severni beats ul the county, “tid preventing ne
groes from passing from me plantation to an
other, midjcarryitig arm- ~c. We think tin be
sug feat tons may be equally applicable to many
oth - duties.

Counterfeiters Arrested.
There seems to be quite a disposition on the
i part of sundry public spirited individuals to
S supply with bullion, the deficiency in our cur
rency occasioned by the temporary withdrawal
ul the Last Tennessee Bank Notes. About ten
dny.-j since two men were arrested lor passing
counterfeit silver dollars, and were found to
have a considerable quantity of the same sort
in the vaults of their pantaloons. They were
adjudged guilty aud admitted to bail.
Wc learn that they have absconded and left
their securities in the suds.
•hi Saturday last, two others were arrested
for attempting to pass counterfeit gold coin.
They were fodnd to be well supplied with ma

Another Proposed Church Bivisiou.
A meeting of delegates respecting the Meth
odist Protestant Church in the West recently
took place at Springfield, Ohio, when the fol
lowing resolution, among others was adopted:
Resolved, That wc cotrimend to the several
Northern and Western Conferences to appoint
at their next session their representatives as
usual and clothe them with conventional pow
ers, to instruct them to meet in the city of Cin
cinnati, Ohio, on the 2d Wednesday in Nov.,
1857, andthen and there determine whether
they will attend the General Conference to be
field at Lynchburg, Yu., in May, 1858: or
whether they will lake measures for the organ
ization ot a General Conference embracing on
ly annual conferences opposed to the system
of American slavery.
It is said that only fifteen persons attended
the Springfield meeting, but that resolution
was .adopted by a vote of 11 to 1.

A lady acquaintance of ours, who has al
ways resided in the country, until recently, re
moved into our city to have the advantages of
our schools for her children. She was visited
not. long since by one of our fashionable aud
literary ladies, and during their conversation
about a lady whom they had previously known
in some of the Eastern States, our fashionable
lady in speaking of their mutual acquaintance
among other things said, site was quite litera
ry ; aud I agree with you, drawled out the
country lady, “ She is very titter,/, for she lias
had fourteen gals and eleven boys and everv
oue ol them is a livin .’ This was enough to
shock our city lady, but she mustered up her
courage, changed the subject, aud talked of
something which she thought would better suit
her country friend’s taste. Which she did for
some time, and at last, becoming wearied, and
as she was about bidding her friend good bye,
she was solicited to call again, and replying,
as any other city lady would, she said, she
would return with exquisite pleasure, when,
to her great surprise, the lady said, 1 know
nothing about your Mr. “exquisite pleasure,”
don t bring him here to bother my gals, but
when you come agin, bring your old man, if
you please. This was enough, and our city
