feeheitl Assembly, to investigate tha condition of 'the Bank of Tennessee, having had their attention called by the President of the Bank, to an article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 24tb purporting to be an editorial, in which the solvency oflhe Bank of Tennessee is questioner, feel it due to the credit of the Bank, to state that, in tho course of their investigations thoy have been furnished with a etnte-tnent, showing the liabilities and assets ol the BonW excluding tbo susponded bills and notes 1n suit,) which statement ths committee believe to 1e correct.

But the whole amount 'has heen carried forward upon the books of the fiar.k, becouse the officers believed they lied no pow" er to charge it off, as it is customary with Banks. By rofernnce to the report niado to the present General Assembly, it will bo seen that the nominal Cqpilai of the Bank is stated. at $2,759,001, which was reduced by payment of interest upon the (Bonds of the State, by appropriations of the General Assembly, anri-by bad and doubtful debts before the amendment of tho Charier on the 9th February, 1850, to $3,339,652 54, which is now lae actual capital of the Bank.

It is preferred, for the purpose of.

These strata are of a more recent origin, -and consequently are superior to those just passed over, and belonging the upper silurian, devonian, and carboniferous ys-. t-ms. Tlie first group -consists of several members' or limeitine rocks, which crop out at the base o1 sordoof these ridges, while in others they are wanting.

They possess colora tanging from grey to blue.

It is sjisceptible of a fine polish, the encrinital stems scattered profusely through it, giving to it a beautiful appearance. Next in order, in these ridges, is found the black shale or slate, of various thicknesses, of an aluminous character, sometimes so highly charged with bitumen as to lead the uninformed to suspect the existence of Tka iron pyrites, which, is some-timcs found in it in great abundance, renders it valua" ble as ihe source for the manufacture tho Alum Salts, and To this succeeds a stratum, denominated by our lata Geologist, as the 8ilicious Stratum" con-slitutes tho uplands, and embraces nearly one-half tho entire district. Constituting the table land at the base of tbo Cumberland -Muuntainf, it is occasionally prolongod farther Westward in spurs, while at other places the mountain streams have cut deep ravines through it to the depth of the limestone benooth.

In this region, where doubtless, in tho early history of our earth, there was but one 'vast field of' sandstone 'and gravel, a strongcentral upheaval look place, elevating the country for several miles in circumference.

The sumrhit being denuded by the atmospheric agencies, has left exposed the underlying strata of limestone constituting the limestone basin of Middle Tennessee. The value of these strata can only be appreciated by those who reside in districts where they are not found. In their economic relations to the arts, and to agriculture, they are so indispensable as to constitute an important element in commercial pursuits. From Jier limestone strata tho Stale of Maine derives, annual ly, a revenue of more than half a million of dollars transporting the stone and the calcined lime lo all the Atlantic cities, even -to Now "Orleans and the West Much of. the lima used in Southern Georgia being from that State.

A. M. Monday. Texas Tfae JP aciflc RailroaJ. A public dinner was given to Gen.

tiusW United States Senator, Bt Ausrin. Texas on tho 5th ult, which was largely attended by members of tho Leg- is 1 attire and prominent citizen Irom all parts of ttie State. Gen. Busk took the opportunity to give hi opin- iuii at large on the subject of the i'acific 'Railroad; dovelope freely his opinions upon the practica bility and mode ot building it thru ugh lexas, which ho enlarges upon as the mem elliglbte line of route' The train of his argument is to show that the line near the southern portion of the United State terminating in San Diego, is in every militaiy point' ol view the best for national defence It would more over create, the oecessityand inn for connect ing ban Uiego'with ban -r roncisco by a coast road; thus creating a line of defences better than large ar mies and fleets, bringing the available forces of the United States within ten days of any exposed point along the immense trontier. As to the lino within-Tcxas, Mr.

Busk advises that as few specific points as possible should be named. until the general scheme is pumciontly organized The general idea he supports i.thsit it should not be bpgun further nottb than ulton on Ked nver, and that it should be carried as nenuy as possible along the line of the thirty second decree of north Tlatitud-, upon, which he Vouches fot personal Jutowledge of eiht 'inured miles ol the route, ttmithero is pientv bf wood and The land is genera I Jyjw ell tim bered, and uen. umk aays the must lertiiO: he ever taw in his Ufa Gen. Husk thus sketches his plan for he; buildine ol the road. Texai has no accumulated capital, nothing to invest; but 1ib has a vast amount pf un appropriated lunds of immense vnlue, out ofwhich he would nnd thu means ot estobliihmg connection- with such other States as have means and There are 800 miles within Texns of the Imc of the most favored route.

Mr. Rusk then suecejis thai the State should grant twenty sections of land to the mile to a company contracting for- the building ol the road, with authority to connect witu otuer routes not designating any particular starting point on the east, but amputating thht it should. not begin norib of a particular point, but mi) lit commence anywhere south of it in the State. That policy will give thuse who are willing to invest capital a chance to examine and satisfy themselves ol the best starting point and route; it will bring those at the end of that ruute. the connective points with other roads, to terms, in irder to secuic the advantages of-the connection.

He proposes that tha company should be required to deposit in the Treasmv of the State, ti be forfeited in mt-e a certain length of road is not -inished within a year, nnd a forfeiture of the chai- ter and the rood finished, and the Stale might require reletting to another company, if a ceitain length ol the road should not be hnised, yearl until th "Whole Was These -eims, he thinks, would not be ot emu to boni Jide contractors wt have means, and intend in good faith lo build ti road, and. not. muko a speculation by the sale, uf 1 The amount of public land in Texasis; 102747,000 ficrts, and the apt rop nation ho recommends would require 10.240,000 acres. He considers- that the gain in the increased value of tbo reserved land would rffpay itnn.ediately many times over the value uf the ltnd grantrd. He thinks the aid of Concre can be reptnded up.m we suppose by grants of land in aid of tl ose portion of the road which lie State of Texa-.

TLo States have no land in Trxns. Gen Rusk presses this subject upon tlie action of me ijpgisinture of lexai. which is now in sessioft Postpone it fur a year," and he fears the oppannol may uc nun ot ine Buporror exertions oi ine friends of oiher routes temi GZmi FTntice to Stockholders.

These three tests therefore enable him in a scientific manner to group together the rooks of a district in established forma-tions. have so far in our articles had but little to say concerning this muto language of our Geologi cal formations, though the field over vhich wo last passed was, in this respecr, of no ordinary interest.

The object of ihese "articles, being solely to call attention to the economical relations of the series constituting the'- variouB formations in our State, I have thought that this could -better be secured by giving 1st, a general outline of each rock stratum, and groups of by showing the application of.eo.ch.to the wants of socioty, as well with reference to tho value of the minerals contained in them, adducing these as rensons why the State should, through its general assembly, provide for 'a thorough and accurate Geological Survey. I pass now to the consideration of rt now field, differing in the position of its strata, ns well as in their char acters, from those in Bast Tennessee; not. so rich howevor, mineral resources, yet, embracing within its limits abundant materials for individual enterpriie. Here too, the fossils of these middle counties, lying between the base of the Cumberland Mountains and the Tennessee River, so rich, so numerous, and so varied, render this as classic ground for the naturalist. The traveler, on descending from tho heights o' the Cumberland Mountains, as he continues his journey towards the city of Nashville, a series of rock strata, each successive one being so mucli lower than the 'others.

strata are also found to differ in several other respects. If then he should pass beyond this point in any other direction, N. S. or W. ho notices that he gradually asconds in like manner until he reaches the high lands, of a similar chai-acter to those at'the base of 'the mountains.

The conclusion naturally forces itself upon his mind that Nashville is lower than the- sUrrounding- coantry. This is true in a Geological, though not altogether in a topographical point of i 1 will therelure take this point as our. starting plnce, in order to give a general description of the surface bf the countiy under examination. Begin-ing at low water mark of Cumberland River, under the bluiT, there is observed a thick stratum of a deep blue or blackish limestone chnracteriied by a small number of-fossils containing regular lines of din nodules, some of which are round, possessing imitative shapes, and others extended as thin levers Tracing this stratum, it is found to disappear as we descend the river possessing therefore a slight inclil nation to tire N.W. On ascending tho river, however, it is seon to rise higher and higher above out low water the natural inference; that it must.at some point to tho S.

E. become a surface rock, and os such ifis noticed at Mill Creek, andjn Rotherftlrd county. With reference to this samestrotum.rrof.S.iT.rd, of Lebanon has remarked that Its highest nhitudo.is in that county. Now as it constitutes the lowe.t stratum in Middle Tennessee, and asit is -coversed around nt all points by superincumbent strnto, it is a natural deduction that nt-this point in Butheiford -county, where it has attained its maximum altitude, it wos upheaved by somo internal force, local in its action giving it the appearance, as Pror. SatTord justly says, of "denuded From this "dome" in all directions, there is a gradual inclination uf this stratum, till it is bit under tho next succeeding one.

Of its extent, itmay remarked, that it manifests itself in several places in Ru'herford and the adjoining counties. Returning to our starting point, the succeeding strata nre composed of gray and bluo limeitone al- ternating, not so compound but of a more crystal-j rno character containing numerous cavities filled with beautiful crystals of various mineral substancer. such at of of strontian, sulphate of baryles, solpha'e of litre, and quartz Beautiful cabinet specimens may be procured from newly opened quarries." These strata embrace the rnck from which is obtained the blue limestone for the foundation! of our houses, and for burning into lime. It contains its characterise moro numerous, and somewhat difierent from the preceding, evidence of its belonging to a difierent 0c -iylngtheid strata is which, on account of tlie" great number of 'shells of the Or4i renii might be distinguished as tht Orthis limestone, tho entire rock in some placet being a mass of agglutinated shells. Just above thin stratum comes another "which is abundantly found in -some places, bu'tap- valslioija'd woukh.

We. would do nothing willingly to unjustly prejudice the minds of our people against the of Tennessee, but we think they should know tho Legislature of that State 6ns been so astonished at partial exposure of its affairs that a committee of investigation is now setting upon out all the fact. The annual 'Report of the officers, -made to tho Legislature, now in session, shows ihat -the -two items, "Bills and Notes in suits," and 'iP roteated Bills," amount to the enormous sum of eight -hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred and soventy. eight dollars and ninety-nine.

T. Bebkt and- having had no opportunity, as yet, of even cutting a leaf, we avail ourselves, for the present, of a long and strongly commendatory no tice of its contents by our cotemporary of the Louis. ville Journal high authority in all such matters. The number before us is the first tho eighth vol sine, which commences with an edition of one hundred and thirty-five thousand copies, which abosrs a degree of popularity nsver before attained by any journal. This number is entirely original, foi even Thackeray's new novel, which is in course of publication in it, is paid for as original matter.

Tho first article on "The Holy Land," illustrated by twelve beautiful engravings, is Irom tho well known and popular pen of- Jacob Abbott. Tho second paper, entitled "The Virginia Canaan," is an account of a tour of observation in a portion of Virginia that has scarcely ever been, pen. etrated, situated in Bandolph comity and containing from seven to nine hundred square miles. It is al- most entirely uninhabited, and is not as well known to American readers as -Arabia Petrce. The series of adventures recorded -by this expedi- tion," says the Journal, is one of tho best things of its' kind that have nppeared in this country.

And then its quaint and graphic humor is richly illustrated by twenty engravings that hove not often been equalled. There is not one of them that does not tell a-story equal to Bny' that ever fell from tho lips the famous Yorick. He who can look without laughtng-upon the scene of Mr. X's first treat, or that which depicts the same gentleman "hastening to get a shot at a doer," is hopelessly incorrigible. The third paper is devoted to Plymouth end its notable memories.

The next is entitled, "Sweet Bells Jangled," a tale of rrrmgled sweetness and sadness that will hold the attention of the reader. Four Bights of a Young Man" is a story of pna aion, of pride, parental neglect, and crime. If the startling scenes of this story shall rouse parents to the necessity of "training their children in the way thev should eo." or shall teach the vounr that hn who "rules bis own spiiit is greater than ho who rules a city," it will accomplish a great and neces. sary work.
