A LnbiDees bouse in St. Louis has placed in the potttioD of the Republican a letter from one of their correspondents in Lafayette conn ty, dated Jaousry 15i!i, ia which itisetated that the hemp grower of that region are eom - plainirg of the K-riooa tailuie in the crop. Few of them thick that their yield will be more than half a crop. Some growers, who hare been in the habit of raising from ten to fifteen tone, ny that they do not expect to hreah a pound of the present crop. It is added, that men who hare hemp on hand refuse to fix a price at all. According to a work recently iseoed, treat ing of the history, principles and progress of the Baptihtu, it arrears that in 1792 there was bnt one Baptist communicant in the United States to every fifty-six inhabitants, while in 1854 there was one to every thity inhabitants, and the sect has more than one quarter of the whole ehcrcli accommodation in this country. The work referred to also notices the gradual decline of infant baptism, and says that more - than twelve infants are born to one baptised by all denominations the country through. The will of John D. Fink, a rich old bachelor who died a few days bince, in New Orleans, has leen fi'ed in the second district court in that city. Mr. Fiok was a native of Wirtem burg, and was abont 70 years old when he died. He had lived in New Orleans a great many years, and amassed a large fortune, amounting, it is said, to severaal hundred thousand dollars. lie devotee the bulk of his estate to the foutidiug of an acylum fot Protes tant widows and orphans in that city, to be called the Fiuk Asylum. Legacies are left to several relatives, and provisions made for the mancipation of a number of his slaves. We learn from the Dallas (Texas) Herald, that the committee on Public Lands have re ported a bill to the Legislature of Texas ap propriating one square league of land to th Leirs of Col. Crockett, in Recognition of his great and heroic services in the war of Iude pendence. There is do doubt but the bill wil become a law. This act of justice to the heirs of the immortal Crockett, should have been consummated long ago but it is better late than never. The Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia North American says, '-that the coneequeuce of the recent postal arrangement between this country and England is, that newspapers are now delivered in Paris, free of cost, whether coming only from Great Britain, or merely via Great Britain from America and the transat Untie States. This is a great boon to Ameri can correspondents, previously subjected to a very heavy and very arbitrary postage. In future all printed matter is to be transmitted between the two countries at the rate of 8 centimes the 40 grammes." During the past year there have been re ceived at various ports of the United States, 72,649 bai rels f perm and 184,015 barrels whale oil, aod 2,707,500 Kunds whalebone of which a very large proportion arrived at the port and district of New Bedford. For the period of fourteen years, ending with 1854, there were imported into the United States 1,665,455 barrels sperm and 8,852,937 barrels whale oil, and 88,855,406 pounds whalebone. The stock of oil in Bristol county, in first and speculators1 bands, Jaduary 1, 1856, was 14,857 barrels perm and 58,537 barrels whale. A private letter giving an account of the recent bombardment of Sweaborg, says thtt the men employed on the gun-boats had, as is usual, their cars padded with cotton, and few cae8 of deafness are reported, but all employ ed experienced severe pain in the chest, and in two days some of the men had not recover ed thir voices. Mr. Bates, of New London, Conn, has in vented an an ti -compression valve for railroad locomotives; the value being used on the cylin der to obviate an acknowledged difficulty al ready existing, owing to the non-ewjape of waste steam as the piston advances or recedes. The valve, as its title indicates, is designed to pre vent loss of power by exhausting the cylinder of all steam in advance of the stroke. The loss by compression is computed at one-half, whic h, being remedied, is a great item saved, Railroad collisions, which are ever the ter ror of travellers, are about to be wholly pre vented, it is said, by a recent Invention lattly tested on the Madrid Railroad in Spain. It is dooe by a new application of electricity, and and is pronounced a perfect safe guard agaiust the possibility of collisions in future two lo comotives infallibly stopping one another be fore coming together. Mr. John Lawrence Bazier, ia the Louisville Times, offera to bet from f 5,000 to 30,000 that he can do as follows; Jump five feet further on a dead level than any man in Kentucky; three feet further than any man in the United States; one foot further than any man in the world; or that he can stand flat-footed opon the earth, and leap a brick wall fifteen feet high and four thick. There is some trouble anticipated in Minne sota this winter from the Indians. They are leaving their reserves aod scattering over the cquntry in hunting parties, sometimes to the great inconvenience and annoyance of settlers who are compelled to stay at home to protect their booses and families. The In dians are not backward to enter dwellings and help themselves to whatever suits them. The pople of Rice county requested the Governor to send them back to their reserve, but he has refuied, and the eopl threaten to take their rifles to rid thetnstlves ot the intruders. The N.

AMERICANS, ATTENTION !!! The American Party in th various Counties which thia notice may reach in time, are earn estly requested to send foil delegation to th Convention which will assemble in thia City on the 12th of February. The tnlsnand American smd the Bank of Tenneiue, In its article on the 19th inst., in regard to the Bank of Tennessee, the Unionand American said : J 'jr.appy to state UPON" IN FORMA TION, that the parent Board of the Bank of Texne-sik hire vpoh Tiicrsday last is the SELECTION OT THE BOARD FOB THE BRANCHES, DETEKKISBD THAT THEY WOULD NOT APPOI5T ant Know Nothing to the position of a DlBKCTOR. The reader will mark the language here employed. The "determination" of the parent Board, is spoken of as having been made on a certain day, ts an occurrence ef which the Union and American had " in formation ; " such "information, " of course, as placed its authority beyond question, and Justified the strictures of that paper upon the Board for departing from their self prescribed rule. So we understood it, and so the public understood it. In the Patriot of the 21st, we commented npon the state ment of the Union and American, and gave it an opportunity either to correct or sub stantiate its averment. But it did neither. It imposed upon us the alternative of drop ping the subject, or addressing ourselves directly to the Board. We chose the lat ter ; and then the Union and American, learning, no doubt, the action of the Board which followed our remarks on Thursday last, concluded to give us a hearing ; and accordingly on Friday morning, in a char acteristic article on the subject, it stultified itself as follows : "A few days since we repeated a PUBLIC RUMOR that the Directors of th State Bank had "determined" not to appoint Know Noth ing on the boards of the Branch Banks. Whether this rumor was true cr not, we de not know." "As the Patriot is not apt to credit all the rumors which we repeat, and as, in this case, it had the strongest sort of circumstant ial evi dence that the rumor whioh we had heard was unfounded," &c.t &o. On the 19th, the "determination " of the Black-Republicanism, they caD, and will, Board of Directors was a fact of which the wncn necessary, combine against and de Union and American had " information ; " cat but six days subsequently it was a mere ' a tMe language of the Louisville Juur "public rumor, " and " whether this rumor we saJ : was true or not, " the Union and American ' "Let the w,,oIe nation ,ook l tliia transac " j;j m w l , u r . . t , , tion- If the coalition had been between the dtd not W," but the Patriot had the Black-Republicans and the Know-Nothing, " strongest sort of circumstantial evidence " j ud if the partition of 6poils had been between that it " was unfounded because fare we ' t,iem' tLe entire countrv woo,1 now b r , .. ' v ! sounding with the most furious Locofoco de- to suppose?) it was mentioned in the Union nunciations. But the alliance was between and American as a fact of which it had " in formation ! " Our neighbor's " right hand forgot its cunning, " certainly, when he pen ned the editorial from which these quota tions are made. If he really means to in timate that the appearance of anything in his paper furnishes the " strongest sort of circumstantial evidence that it is unfound ed, " we shall not now doubt it ; but we will say, that we have had a better opinion of him. We have never believed that he or any other editor would make a state ment known by him at the time to be un founded. But, since it appears that the Union and American's " information n had no better authority than that common liar, Madame Rumor, and that our neighbor did not " know whether it was true or not, " it be comes important to enquire into the object of his making use of it, as he did, especi ally after he had, as Col. Jonxsos charges, failed to call at the Bank, according to promise, to get information on the subject. It would seem, from this failure, that there had been some conference between our neighbor and a Director, and that there was reason to doubt the truth of his " in formation, " even before he published it. And this leads ns to suspect that our neigh bor, in conjunction with others, had really been exerting his influence upon Directors to induce them to adopt the rule which he was so " happy to state, upon informa tion, " they had adopted. This suspicion is borne out by the remark of our neighbor, last Saturday, that he "should much rather have undertaken to defend the Board for such a 'determination ' than for a 'deter mination ' to violate the very principle on which they hold their own places." Find ing, if our suspicions be correct, that he could not, privately, prevail upon the Board to make a general proscription of Ameri cans, he veutared to try the effect of a pub lic condemnation of them for making an exception to a " rule " which, " upon infor mation, " he ascribed to them. 44 If this, " reasoned he, " should be passed orcr by the Americau press, and public sentiment not aroused on behalf of the Board, it will instigate leading men of our party, here and all over the State, who desire the ejec tion of all Americans from office, to co operate with us, and, in the end, the Board must, of necessity, succumb." But our plot ting neighbor, aud the intriguants who hide themselves behind him, have been defeated. Their Teuture, instead of compelling the Board to become mere instrument of ty ranny ia the hands of " heated and iutern per&te partisans, " has brought shaoie opoa their own heads. Vaiu is it for the Unian aud American to asseverate, "We have not Si-eu one Democrat who approves the coursa of the parent Bank iu this matter, and the dissatisfaction is too dwp and too general to be puppresicd." To beliere this , would be to believe the Democratic masses capable of a degree of partisan meanness, which no one has ever imputed to them. Those who backed the Union and American in this affair, and their satellites, may dis approve the conduct of the Board ; but we have reason to know that the masses of the party condemn the Union and Ameri can, and honor the Board for their patri otic conduct which has brought upon them the condemnation of the Union and Ameri can. Democratic Coalition with Black-Republicans When the New York Legislature assem bled recently, a contest for Speaker of the Assembly the lower branch of the Legis lature similar to that at Washington sprung up and continued for two weeks. The parties to the contest were the Black Republicans, Administration or Soft Dem ocrats, Americans, and Hards. On the 1 6th inst., a coalition having been affected between the Administration or Soft Demo crats, a portion of the Hards, and the Black-Republicans, Mr. Prendegast, the candidate of the latter, rose, withdrew his name, and requested his supporters to vote for Mr. Robinson, the candidate of the Softs. The result was the election of Mr. Robinson. In the debate which preceded the vote, a number of Black-Republicans took part; their remarks show that Black Republicanism has no affinity for Ameri canism, the two are antagonistic and in capable of coalescing. Mr. Prendegast, the Black-Republican candidate, said : He could not sustain the proscripthe princi pie of tht American Party, which would shut a member from the floor of this House, be cause of his birth, and deprive citizens of rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Hi position, tea that of antagonism to the odious principle to repugnant to Republican. Mr. Snow, Black-Republican, said : Voting for a Democratic Speaker did not signify, he said, that the Republicans occupied the sumo position with them on .National ques tione; but tfiey had one common enemy the American rarty toward whom their position vat the same. Mr. Hampton, Black-Republican, said : He was elected as a Republican over Demo crats and American, and lie had no sympathy with either of those parties. The American he beliexed proscriptive beyond all bounds. They would not only enslave the black, but the wh iles also. He voted for Mr. Robinson. These extracts plainly indicate that there is an impassable gulf between Americanism ' and Black-Republicanism ; whilst the for j mer being opposed by both Democracy and the Abolitionists and the Democrats, and eve ry Democratic tongue is mute except in the expression of delight. This alliance is perfect ly natural. It is in keeping with the politi cal history of the lasi few years. It is but a re-enactment of whai occurred in the Massa chusetts Legislature when the Abolitionists and the Democrats coalesced there, the Demo crats aiding to elect Charles Sumner to the U. 8. Senate, the Abolitionists helping to bestow upon the Democrats the other offices in the gift of tbe Legislature. It is hut a re-enactment of what occurred in the Ohio Legislature when the Abolttiomsta and the Democrat co alesced there, the Democrats agisting to elect 8. P. Chase to the U. S. Senate, and the Abo litionists conceding to the Democrats all the other offices that the Legislature was to fill. It was but the re-enactment of what occurs yearly in Rhode Island, where the Abolition ists and the Democrats always fight side by side for victory, and, when successful, share the plunder together." For th Nuhvl!lo Patriot. Nashville and ber Future, onkidered In relation to ber Supply of heap t utl. It is a difficult problem to solve aud never has been satisfactorily settled, which is the more essential to the success and growth of a city cheap bread or cheap coal. I shall not discuss that now, but supposing both to be important, it is enough to remark that this city is better favored in her agricultural resources, than any city in the south-west, and I have every reason to believe, that to-day, our prog ress in scientific agriculture, has just began its rapid march. Our Fairs, State and County, for the past two years, have had a happy ef fect, and their results will tell with a pleading certainty in the future; and instead of the abundant yield of produce of the past season, forming the exception to the general supply, it will find the table turned in a few years. We now hip wheat and flour northward in stead of buying abroad, which I remember to have seen a lew year since ; Samuel D. Mor gan, Esq., a few year ago bought wheat in St. Louis, freighted it here and hauled it to Lebanon, there ground it into Flour, and sold it in this market. And I remember that cakes were considered by our tl rifty housewives by far better because the floir of which they were made, came from Cincinnati now how ever, the quotations for Tenneseee fiur are a hade higher there than the country brands Thus ia point of provisions w are amply sup plied and th greater we mal that Jaiuind, th greater mill be th tnpfdy. Now give os cheap coal, and yon give us the means to increase that demand for breadstuff we have too much labor now employed in agricultural pursuit, and to get cheap cotd, yon divert luany from that pursuit and give those who must necessarily follow it greater encouragement. Cheap coal gives a larjje de mand for labor and bread the supply of the latt er is increased, and that Increase only ena ble the producer to sell the more ; while com petition keep the pric to a Using and JUa&A- ful standard. Give Nashville cheap coal and every man that turns a grindstone by hand, or a tnrning lathe, will put op a steam engine, aud the en gine builder will increase his building, and ran employ more hands, build more engines and sell thm cheaper, because he cad keil more; the iron maur turn out mr metal, pat cp a new rolling mill, pay wage to an additional number of laborers and as the) must est, ih LotcU and boarding Lou&c eularge thuir tat!, and new ones are built ; the landlord refits his older houses because of the increase in rents and builds new ones, as homes are in demand; another merchant moves into the city, and the older one lay in a larger supply of goods and sell them cheaper, because be can sell the more ; ten new steamboats are called into the carrying trade; th engineer screws down the safety valve a little harder fcr he ho more freight and passengers to carry in the same given time ; new doctors come to town, law yer spring np, more divines are called, the poor man shout and the rich man smiles amid this little commercial millenium which cheap coal brings! Had we, been supplied, the factories which have died out and crumbled to ruin, would now be in the very "tide of success" and Nash ville would be to-day what she ought to have been twenty years ago, and what she will be, a manufacturing City. The mistake has been in the attempt, promp ted by a noble and a patriotic spirit, to build up and put in operation factories with the price of coal at rates which finally ate them out like a slow cancer. Cheap labor, cheap bread aud raw material formed the too confi ding basis of success these are not sufficient 5 and as Archimedes only wanted a fulcrum to move the world, so the manufacturing interest only required cheap coal to build up the city. I had scarcely penned the above paragraph, v. hen my eye fell upon an article in the Mem phis Appeal, from which I venture to make the following extracts : "Nothing tends so surely to convince us of the progress of Memphis as the growing number of manufactories spinging up as if b magic in everv quarter of oar city. Tl.e statesman may exhibit every dij, a natiooal patriotism, iu a national arena but such an arena is not presented to every citizen his love of country may embrace this vast empire of republics, but his acts wut be local in ilieir efiVcta. Such is a patriotism which we can com prehend, which does not develop and ezhast itself in words, and ooisy declamation about political rights and wroDes, but goes steady to work to en rich our city, to keep our money at borne, to feed our poor, to furnish employment to the idle, to be get iu all habits of industry, to clothe the naked, to ticker the houseless, horuelees wandeiers who cod grecate here from every quarter of the globe. If a noble, generous impulse, like that to which we have appealed in behalf of the enterprising manufacturers of our city, will not induce all men in all the business relations ot life, to aid and en courage them there is still another consideration which will present itself to the mind of every thinking man. Whenever an establishment like one of these to hich we have alluded, ia destroyed for want ot support or patronage, every holder of real or personal estate in the city is thereby injured Men are thrown out of employment; they leave the city; population and trade is diminished; other manufacturers are detered from coming hither, and men everywhere look with distrust upou the future greatness aud prosperty of Memphis. Now to accomplish this great end various modes have been often suggested, and some experiments have been made; and giving all due credit, to individual energy and enterprise it is not sa)ing too much to iay that public ex pectation has been disappointed to some ex tent. It was confidently predicted a few years ago that the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad would be able to furnish ample supplies of good coal at far less rates than we had been paying; it was attended with the good will of the whole community and I have been in formed that such rates for freights on coa were established by the Railroad Company which those interested in coaling were satis fied would enable them to lessen the price, This enterprise has not suffered from want of confidence on the part of the community, while some apparent advantages have been nfforded. River coal meu were alarmed at the predictions made for their final destiny ; but even to-day the main dependence is upou the Cumberland colliers. It is proposed to supply Nashville by means of the Henderson Railroad. This road is yet in the future, and it will be some time yet be fore it can begin it labors in that respect ; but supposing it to be cow in running order, can it supply ns with good coal and at a cheap rate. Supposing the mines on the Henderson Road now open, and awaiting transportation, a distauce of over one hundred miles, let us see what will be its cost delivered here. I do not know what will be the rate of freight, but this fact I gather from authentic sources may do to calculate UKn ; the Read ing, and other roads in Pennsylvania, have been charging 112 cents per ton, per mile, and in all cases the Collier furnishes his own car. These rouds do a regular daily business, and get a much work as they oau do, and look to coal freight as one of their principal sources of revenue. Suoh would not be the case here, for the collier ha only a limited market, and that is to be found only in this city and may be set down eafely at one million bushels annually. The Henderson road, will, in all probability, charge 2 cents per ton per mile, putting it, however, at one and a hn!f cents, makes it Cost for mere transportation alone, & cents per bushel here, and the cost and wear of coal cars would add something to that eay 1 2 cent. Now add cost of mining 212 cents, cost of loading into the cars 1 cent, (and cost of side tracks aod repairs would be an item.) and you have the price of coal put down in the city at 8 cent. This, I regard, as a liberal view. But, now, another question present itself; I don't thiuk the Henderson Railroad can make any money carrying coal at 2 cents, and as it is a fact admitted by all practical railroad meu that coal is the mo-t dangerous aod most un profitable of all other freight, and wears out a track much fatter, is it not reasonable to sup pose that there is danger some day of the road refusing to haul coal airs, and thus leave us where we began. Besides, Nashville is not the nearest or largest market for the Mahlenburg coal region, nd will not men, seeking their own iuterest, ship cud to tuch point as wil command an unlimited market, and where they can save expense in distance. Coal cars wear out railroads, and stockhold ers knowing this fact, will take care to levy sufficient tax opon the collier to repair and re build it. The aupply from this source is, there for, uncertain and doubtful. Where, then, are we to look for our supply of coal I There is an auswer, and I venture to suggest it. To the Cumber Und Jiieer. It tsever wear out; need no repairs; always certain to aUrd am ple navigation; b free of taxes; for traveling U is the most reliable and certain, and the cheap est. Within a ihort time a new mice ha been opened in Christian county, Kyn 6) tailee back of Rowena, 4 acd 5 fet is thickness, and of rased) better qaility than any coal which La been tiller to shipped here. A mule track aud all the equipments cn be built aud put upon it at a cost not exceeding $25,000, and the whole put in successful operation within twelve months. Supplies can be bad from the rich and fertile lands in sight of the mines, while labor is cheap, and the best of boat timber can be had in abundance and conveniently. It is be low, the most dangerous part of the river Smith's Shoals and can be delivered here at a cost not exceeding 7i cent9 per bushel, and can be readily sold at from 10 to 15 cents per qushel. B. Mot the Naahvire Patriot. ' American .Tleetlnjr. At a large and respectable meeting of the Amer ican party, held in Carthage on the 24th inst, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That in the estimation of this primary assembly, there is an alarming crisis It hand ia our common and beloved country ; that heresies which bare no prototype in tbe annals of sacred or pro fane history, are stalking with gigantic tread over the land, and like the poisoned tree of Java, d op ping tbe dews of death on all who slumber in its specious shade ; that it becomes all patriots, states men and the people generally, to arouse to bold and vigorous action to preserve our civil and reli gious freedom from the gra.'p of remorseless factions and the ambitious schemes of the Papal Hierarchy; that we will adhere to and defend with ardor and perseverance, the principles and policy of the Amer ican party, through sunshine as well as storm, through evil as well as good report, through adverse as well as prosperous fortune, undaunted by Bilv linsgate invectiveor the haughty dictation of power; choosing to adopt the motto, ''millions for defeuse, and nothing for tribute ; " and that the intolerable grievances under which we groan, owe their origin mainly to the insidious wiles of foreign influence Resolved, That tbe course of our American dele gation in the lower branch of the National Legisla ture in their inflexible adherence to lion. H. U. Fuller as their selection for Speaker ot that body, meets our cordial and h- arty approbation, and hope and believe that they will continue with that firm ness which knows Dot what it is to yield. Resolved, That we tender our kind consideration to our contemporary of the Louisville Journal, for his able, determined and patriotic defense of the American party, and sincerely congratulate bim upon the unrivalled, rapidly increasing circulation of his peerless journal, especially in thia portion of the country. It is the sense of this meeting that he deserves to be President of these United States, but that he holds a much higher and more respons ible position, and we cannot spare his services. Resolved, That our fellow-citizen, Joseph G. Pickett, be and is hereby appointed a delegate to represent this Congressional district in the National Convention at Philadelphia, on the 22J Feb. pro., and that Hon. Wm. Cullom and Sterling Ward be requested to act as alternates. Rcsolvtd, That the proceedings of this meeting be furnished the Lousville Journal, Nashville Pa triot, Banner aud Gazette, md Sparta Times, for publication. J. B. MOORES, Pres't. J. Y. William. Sec'y. American Heetixo ix Gibson Cocxtt. The American Party of Gibson county, held a Public Meeting at Trenton, on the 19th inst. J. D. Hill, Esq., presided, assisted by J. W. YocNQBLood, ns Secretary. Resolutions were adopted reaffirming the Principles of the Phila delphia Platform, and repudiating the doctrine of squatter sovereignty. The following reso lutions were also adopted : Resolved, That we approve, er dorse, and highly commend the course of our Representa tive in Congress, Hon. Emerson Etheridge and those other National Americans, who have, unfalteringly, cast their bollots for the Hon. Henry M. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, and recom mend them to persist in their nuble snd patri otic course, in thus refusing to surrender the National position of the party, until their terra of office expires by limitation. Resolced, That we appoint B. S. Allen, of Carroll, as Delegate to the National American Convention, to assemble in Philadelphia on the 22d February next, and M. R. Hill, Eq., and C. II. Williams as alternates, and recommend them to the other counties of the District fur ratification. f3SP The Washington Cnion, in reponse to the National Intelligencer, says : We think we can safely assure the editor of the Intelligencer that no tuch question as th si)cnsun of diplomatic intercourse with Great hntam ha been before th Cabinet. Our relations with that Government are certainly delicate, and perhaps critical, but the proposed withdrawal of our Minister is not among the evidences going to indicate the delcacy of those relations. V lule we desire by tbi correction to avoid any unfounded apprehensions of an "mpending difScnltv with Great Britain, we cannot deny that there are seriovt qumtior.s of dijTerence between the tieo Government, which ought to re thoughtfully considered by those members of Congress who are obstructing the organizntion of the House. The closing reference to Members of Con gress characteristic. If the Administration would exert its in fluence to effect the organi zation of the Home, we doubt not a Speaker could be elected immediate!; but the desire to gain a party advantage is stronger than the Administration's patriotism.
