Tennessee Legislature and the Hanks*
In the published proceedings of the Tennessee
legislature, in the Nashville we find the
following reference to the legislature about the
banks:
“In the House,on the 17th of December, a mes
sage was received from the Senate announcing the
passage of a bill originating in that body, entitled,
“ A bill to enforce the resumption of specie pay
ments by the suspended banks, Ac., and the mes
senger transmitted an engrossed copy of the same
for the consideration ot the House ol Representa
tives.
“On motion by Mr. Rowles, the House, (by a sus
pension of the rules,) took up the consideration of
the Seuate bill—(transmitted this day and identi
cal with Mr. Rowles’ bill of same title, rejected
yesterday, when it was offered in lieu ot Mr. Polk s
bill)—to enforce the resumption of specie pay
ments by the suspended banks; to offer to
acceptance certain amendments to their charters,
and for other purposes ; and the same being read
through by the clerk, it was passed the first read
ing.”
This bill was read the second time on the 19tli
instant, and passed that reading without amend
ment, by a vote of thirty-five to twenty-nine. The
Union of Sunday morning says :
“This Senate bill, which has passed the second
reading without amendment, accords with the gen
eral recommendations of the Governor’s Message,
excepting that as to the liquidation of the State
bank, ft is made the special order for Monday
morning, when, if there be a quorum, it will be put
on the final reading.”
The great pianist, Thalberg, is expected
in Charleston about the 21st of January.
In treating diseases of the mind, music is rot

To Ignite Damp Matches.—A damp match will
light readily by first holding it to the arm or
other warm part of the body for a few seconds,
until it attracts a small amount of heat, then rub
ingit gently on woolen cloth of close texture,
such as doe-skin, or what is commonly used for
pantaloons. It will ignite if the composition is
almost as soft as putty; woolen cloth is the best
to use in that case, as it causes little friction and
is a good non-conductor of heat.

The Bank Act.
In consequence of the great anxiety as to the
action of the General Assembly in relation to the
bauks, we have taken especial pains to present at
ibe earliest moment the bill as it has passed the
two houses:
An act for the suspension of certain sections of
certain acts, and fur other purposes:

understood to include every bank having lawful
authority to issue its own bank notes.
Tiie Issue of Treasury Notes. —The proposed
issue of treasurv notes by the government will
not, it is said, exceed twenty million dollars, of
the denomination of fifty dollars and upwards, the
rate of interest to be left in the discretion of the
Secretary, and which, it is believed, will not ex
ceed three per cent, per annum. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times writes:
The Secretarv has received assurances from New
York that this rate will command at once all the
money the engagements of the government through
the winter will require, over and above his current
revenues from customs. These revenues, he is
now induced from general inquiry to believe, will
more rapidly recover from the effect of the late
crisis, than was generally supposed on the assem
bling of Congress. It is also intimated that the
Secretary will employ part of the issue of treasury
notes at a nominal interest, provided further in
quiry and the early prospect of a renewed activity
at the custom house aud land offices, and the na
ture of the disbursements at the West and on the
Pacific, where said p >tes would be desirable as a
medium of exchange, should authorize the cal
culation of their having free currency at par with
gold.
The three per cent, notes will at once be placed
with the sub-treasurers and at the mint, to be ex
changed on application for gold. All the notes
will be made receivable for government dues, but
will contain no funding clause, as they are to be
redeemed at the end of the year.
Pretty Good. —The Camden RepuMic, a warm
political friend of Governor WinstoD, get off the
following good things, which re presents the char
acter Wiuston sustains, and for publishing which
we reckon we can be excused. The Republic
says:
“ On the morning of the Inauguration, an hon
est but illiterate farmer was going into the city
M< E gornery on horseback, when he was overta
ken by a resident of Macon county, a lawyer, with
whom he fell into conversation, in the course of
which the following colloquy ensued:
Farmer.—Whar be you bound, stranger?
Lawyer.—l am goingfto Montgomery in order to
be present at the inauguration of the now Gov
ernor, which is to take place to-day.
F.—The new Gov’ ner; whose he?
L.—Why, don’t you know that Cov. Winston’s
time has expired, and we are about to install An

F.—What! Put in Moore in place of Winston?
L.—Yes, Mr. Moore has been regularly elected to
fill that position.

From Correspondence of the N. O. I’icayvne.
portlier ol Walker’s Expedition-Report
of Captain Caugliliu, aud Others.
Aspinwall, Dec. 4,1857.
The FK'amer Fashion, Captain Caughhn, arrived
here on the 1 2nd, having left Grey town on the 80th
of November. 1 called on Capt.*C. to-day, but did
not find him especially communicative. The Fash
ion was twelve .days on the passage, arriving at
Puuta Arenas, opposite Grevtovvn, on the 25th ult.
Ou getting to sea, Cv n t. C. “ found ” one hundred
and eighty-six of Walk^ r ’s party on board, and
some ten or lifieen “outsiders” and speculators.
The steamer made rather rough weather of ir, but
no accident occurred on the passage. The Fash
ion is a slow sea boat, steaming only six or seven
knots an hour, at which some oi tlio officers were
quite dissatisfied, aud made some demonstrations
of their displeasure towards the Captain, thinking
he ought to push her a little, but they were order
ed to keep quiet, which they deemed it prudent to
do. On nearing Greytown a thick mist hid the
land, and the Captain slowed his boat, when Walk
er wished him to quicken his speed, but suddenlv
the smoke lifted, aud Punta Arenas was in full
view, with the Saratoga lying ut her anchors in
side. [Our correspondent proceeds to give sub
stantially the same account of the landing we have
had before].
Capt. Chaturd, of the Saratoga, did not appa
rently intend to have used any force to prevent the
landing of the filiibusters. He appeared rather
undecided as to what he ought to do, and so he
did nothing. In a conversation with Capt. Caugh
iin, lie rather uaivelv inquired : “ Are you aware,
sir, of the character of tiie men you have landed
ou a foreign shore?” “ I don’t know anything
about their characters,” responded Capt. C.; “ 1
was told that I was to take a couple of hundred
coffee planters to Greytown, and I hope 1 have ful
filled my orders properly.” The men were nearly
all strong, robust fellows, who seemed to have no
very clear idea of what they had come to Nicara
gua for.
Not much care seemed to be exercised in keep
ing their stores. It was probable they only had
enough to last them two or three weeks, at the rate
they were using them; the men exchanging two
pounds of salt pork or ham with the natives for one
pound of fresh beef.
Walker found four small yawls, each about eigh
teen feet long, on the point, aud the day the Fash
ion left he started our expedition up the river on
one of them to intercept tiie Costa Ricau mail boat,
which was expected down the river to meet the
British steamer, with several thousand dollars on
board.
9 It was at first reported here that the Fashion, when
the town hove in sight, ran in under a full head of
steam, and anchored close to the point before
Capt. Cliatard could get his boats out to stop her.
The inference was that the captain was taken by
surprise. But this was not the case. I ant assured
bv un otlicer of the British steamer Dee that the
Fashiou was seen by the officers of the Saratoga
the day before she catnc in, off the harbor; that
there was ample time also, when she was coming
in, for the Saratoga’s boats to hove her to with a
swivel, utul to have boarded her before she got in.
Besides, Walker was two whole days in lauding
his men, stores amt munitions in the steamer’s
boats, while laying directly under the guns of the
sloop-of-war. When the Dec came into the har
bor, Capt. Chatard requested her master to anchor
inside the Saratoga, so that he could range the
Fashion with his guns, but he took no steps against
the landing of either stores or men.
Knowing that there was considerable British
property in Greytown, Capt. Woolcott, of the Dee,
asked Capt. Chatard if he would protect that town
against Walker if he should endeavor to lay it un
der contribution ; to which Capt. C. replied : that
his orders icere very general in their nature. What
he might do must be done on his own personal re
sponsibility. So, as no guarantees could be bad,
and there was no Britisli man-of-war in port, some
of the merchants packed up the more valuable por
tion of their goVals, and shipped them to this place
on the Dee. The Dee landed about one hundred
and twenty large cases of these goods to-dav.
Cincinnati. Dec. 15.— The stock of the clothing
store of Messrs. Hyman Brothers &. Co., in Main
street, was destroyed by fire last evening, causing
a loss ot twenty thousand dollars. The building
was also damaged to the exteut of two thousand
dollars. The loss on the stock was covered by in

COMMERCIAL.
\iiaiiNln Market, Dweinkr 22-‘l I*. M.
COTTON This commodity has gradually declined In price,
and during the past week receded about >$ cent. V &. in this
and other markets. If the quantity coming forward here and
offering for sale, had the slightest Influence on prices, the
market would advance; but, iu the face of very light receipts
and a very light offering stock, prices have continued to recede.
THU hap not Hen caui**4 by pgurdiy of money tq pay for Cot

an insufficiency of vessels, nor a low range of freights to dis
tant markets. We can only search for the cause of the
gradually declining price of Cotton in the convulsed, and still
convulsing condition of commercial affairs in every country on
the globe; and we cun only reasonably hope for anything like
stability in the price of our great southern staple, when com
mercial confidence is restored, and the manufactories of the
world are put in Gyration to supply the demands of Lade
created by a return of confidence and business pursuits.
Our planting friends, who are comfortably situated at their
homes, tnay express surprise at the fact that cotton has
declined thirty dollars per bale within a few months; but the
cultivators of wheat have seen their grain decline fifty per
cent, in price—sugar planters have experienced a still greater
decline in the price of their products—and all the productions
of the earth, of machinery, and of muscle, have felt severely
the commercial convulsions of the times. All arc hopeful that
the worst has been realized, and many are fearful that the
s orm is not yet over. And when the fury of the gale is over,
who can say, with confidence and truth, that farmers will ob
tain better prices for their products?
In our cotton market to-day buyers and holders seem equal
ly indisposed to operate. Some parcels of good middling nave
been sold at 'J%, and middling fair at lcents; but buyers are
not anxious to pay those prices, nor are holders willing to sell
at such low rates. This Is about the state of the market :ls we
close out report.
BUSINESS GENERALLY.—Our merchants engaged in
the grocery, dry goods and other departments of trade, feel the
full effect of the financial crisis, in the limited extent of their
sales, as well as in the rather tardy movements of many per
sons who owe them.
BACON.—We have seen but little new bacon on the mar*
ket. Some very handsomely cured meat (city cared/ is offered
at 13>$ cents, hog round, by the quantity. Old western sides
arc very scarce, and sell at 13@1S)$ cents.
LAUD.—The supply is good, and prices show a declining
tendency. We quote 12 cents in barrels, and 12)$ to IS in
cans.
(JOHN.—There is very little disposition to make engage
ments at present, and prices may be said to range from 60 to
65, by tiie quantity, sacks included. From wagons, delivered,
55&60 cent" Is paid.
