It is no less a jewel now. It is an attribute which every poet gives to his heroine, and with which every lover invests his duleinea. The world, with all its goodness admires it, and no ono would feel satisfied in having it denied him. It adorns tho city press of Nashville. It sAtnes through their columns daily.

They arc overstocked with it. It even cramps their genius and impedes tho natural dcvclope-ment of their businew, Tiiey are afraid to sneak of themselves. Self-praise increases the very blackness of their type. They will not blow their own horns. We fear they arc too modest to live.

In -thus extolling the virtues of our neighbors, of course we claim none of it ourselves. Tho following from the will illustrate what we have said, we charge nothing for the advertisement. Complaints. From every portion of the city complaints come in that the Dispatch is not delivered as ordered by patrons. Sometimes gentlemen who take several of the city papers declare, with a little warmth of manner, "There is something strange about itt AVe get the others regularly; it Li swldom a numlcr misses.

And yet we nnw get the Ditjtalch tiep. Begging pardon of such gentlemen, there is nothing btrange about it, if they will only keep In mind that there are systematic little newspaper thieves in the city, who follow tho carrier-os a jackal follows an army, or as a shark follows vessel at sea, and when the carrier has passed out of sight, they take up the paper he bus dropped and sell it. They have even provided themselves with hooks, wherewith to draw papers from under doors. As these thieves arc mostly villains of tender years, they are hereby furnished with timely notice that steps will be taken to wntch their motions, and send them before tho Kecorder as examples. Some ono may ak, why tho other city pajnjrs arc not stolen as much as tho Dispatch, Candor forces tho reply, that it is for the simple reason that thieves as well as honest people, prefer such merchandise as is saleable.

The Dispatch can always be cashed at sight henco they steal it in preference." Supreme Court. The law docket of the 11th circuit was not finished vesterdav. The following decisions were rendered: Billy Smith, colored, vs. The State. By Judge Milligan.

Claiborne Duvall Killed. of Ike, Case. On Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, a young man named Harmon N. Morse, a nephew of George Morse, living at No. 148 North Market street, alarmed the inmates of tho house by saying that certain parties were endeavoring to commit a robberv.

He went into his uncle's room, and asked him if he bad a pistoL At the time, there were five stock drovers sleeping in the house. Mr. George Morse got out of bed, went hastily into their room, told them that there were robbers in the house, and asked them if they had any pistols. One of the men a Mr. Wells gave him a pistol.

Harmon Morse took the pistol, and snapped it at a man who was in his room, but it had been dropped into a creek the day before, and would not go ofE ILirmon then asked another of the drovers for a pistol, and was handed a navy revolver. He returned to the room where the man was, and fired four shots. Afterwards, Claiborne Duvall, one of the drovers, took the same pistol, went into the room where the supposed robber was, and soon came out, saying, 'T am shot." The ball entered the abdomen of Mr. Duvall, causing his death about six o'clock on Monday morning. arc informed that his parents reside in Kentucky, but tliathe himself had been engaged in this city, as a cattle drover, for the last ten or twelve years.

He was about forty years of age at the time of his death. It is said that there were four men who were attempting to rob the house. Two mer, named John Urady and John Ryan, were afterwards arrested by policemen Long and Snyder. Shortly before o'clock, yesterday, the case was tried before Esquire Meacham, Judge W. K.

Turner being counsel for the defense, and James M. Brien for the prosecution. The first witness called was Dr. Wl A. Cheatham, who testified that the deceased came to his death from the effect of the wound received as above stated, and that the ball a small conical one had been extracted by Dr.

Eve. Harmon N. Morse, the principal witness for the prosecution, testified substantially as follows: On Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, I was awakened by the jarring of my bed, and found that there was some one in the room. I got out of bed, and started to go around to a coat which hung on the bedstead, so as to get my pistol out of the pocket. In doing so I made two or three steps, and met a man about my own size, with light whiskers.

The moon was shining through the window, and I could see him. Ho stood between me and my coat, so that I could not get to it he was also between me and a gun, which stood in the corner. I then went into another room and called to my uncle, asking if there was a pistol, and my aunt said it was not loaded. My uncle got out of bed and went into the room where the drovers were sleeping; I went there and obtained a pistol from them, and went back into my room. The1 man stood about as I left him, leaning against a trunk.

I snapped the pistol three times at him, but it didn't go. I then returned and called for another, and Mr. Oglcsby (oncof thedrovers) handed me ope. 1 took it, and went back to the room, where the man was standing as before. I took deliberate aim, as I.sup-posed.

The first time, as I afterwards ascertained, the ball took effect in the ton of a chair which stood between me and the man. I could not sec him after that, as there was so much smoke, but I fired three shots in the same direction as before, as near as I could. There was a sofa between me and the man, and I afterwards found three ball holes through it. then rciurned to the room where I left Mr. Oglesby, and handed him Ins niptol.

In coing into tins room, where the drovers were, I met Mr. Duvall. My uncle told him not to go in. Duvall got the pistol, and I went out on the porch. Afterwards I saw the flash of a pistol, or firearm, and Air.

Duvall came out ot the door, and said I am shot." I asked him where, and he said, In tho abdomen." There was no one in the room nt the time Duvall was shot, except himself and the man who shot him. (One of the prisoners, John Brady, was here pointed out to the witness, and be was asked if he could identify him.) I saw a man there about 1" 1 1 my own sire, wiui ngm wnisKere, and this man would bear that lescription. His countenance I cannot posi tively swear to. Ho was so near me that I could put my hand on him from where I stood. I could not say what his bueiness was in ray room, whether he wa3 attempting to rob of not.

I saw only one man. The last shot thought was bred in tbo room leading from the one I had been in. There were two doors through which the man might have escaped, but I didn't hear any one say that they saw any person runout. The man could have escaped through the back door so that no one could have seen him." Mr. Gcorgo Morse, thonext witnesscalled, made a diagram of his house, giving the situation of tlu different rooms, and the porch at the side or the house, showing that there were two doors in the rear bv which the robber could have gone out.

lie also said that he told Mr. Duvall not to go into the room, as he might run into danger. His testimony corresponded substantially witli that of li. N. Morse, but he gave some additional statements which were important.

He said that he saw a man on the Lack side of the houfc. and asked him who he was and what he was doing, to which the man replied that lie was a policeman, and would go for help. He departed, and that was the last Mr. Morse saw of him. Mrs.

Morse testified that she went into the room to get some matches, and saw a man standing there, but could not tell whether he was white or black. Mr. Wells, a drover, corroborated several of the above statements, and testified that he went to the stable to help saddle a horse for some one to go after a doctor, and on his way ho saw a man lying under the steps. lie obtained help, and went up to this man and found him asleep. After waking him, he was searched and no arms found on his person, but he held a grapeshot id his hand.

This man's name was John It van. Mr. Lone one of the policemen who as sisted in making the arrests, testified that he heard an alarm given, and after looking about for some time to discover the cause, he found Mr. Morse's house, and that after discovering the circumstances of the case he went to the station house to get assistance. i.

i.i. the house when ho saw a man clambering up an embankment over Lick Branch. He arrested him, and his name was afterwards tound to bo ohn JJrady. Tho testimony of other witnesses was prodnrcd, showing that the prisoners, Brady and Evan, had Itccn engaged for some time past as laborers on thesuspciision bridge; that for two or three days previous to tjieir arrest thev had been intoxicated and that they had left a grocery, about teu or eleven o'clock on Saturday night, in an inebriated state. The defence took the ground that these men had been drinking to such an extent that they became confused, and entered Mr.

Morse's house by mistake, as his residence was not lar lroin the house of Air. lcic. where they boarded; and also that Mr. II. N.

Morse, in the confusion of the moment, might accidentally havo shot Duvall. Esquiro Meacham decided that the evidence wasnot suflicicnt to justify the detention of but required Bradv to give 1,000 bonds, which he was unable to do, and was therefore committed for trial. Neoro Shot on the Nolexsville Pike. About dusk on last Sunday evening, two soldiers belonging to the 17th" U.S. C.L, who had left this city for their homes on furlough, we understand were proceeding along the NolcnviIle Pike, and met a white man on horseback.

He began to curse and abuse them, and thev replied very much in the same spirit. The man passed them, and afterwards returned with two other white men. Meanwhile, one of the negroes fircdeffhis pistol at a tree to satisfy hinnclf that it was in order. The horfeman passed up the road, and soon came back with another. They began Iq use insulting language to the negroes, and finally shot at them, killing onocf the soldiers.

The other returned to camp and reported the facts. This occurred about two miles from this city, on the Nolcnsville Pike. JOS. BILIIN cc Storage and Commission Merchants, Xo. 60 CoHcco street, near Broad.

Tho Tribune's special says It having been represented to the United States Treasurer, Spinner, that a number of National Banks located in cities whero clearing houses are iu operation, have estimated their deposits subject to duty from the balances after exchanges at tho clearing house, and not from the balance at tho close of the day, as required by the regulations, he has issued a circular letter to the Cashiers of the National Banks in such localities, in which ho says that tho former method cannot bo accepted as correct, and requests them to inform him whether, on making np the semi-annual return of their books for the six months preceding January 1, 1806, they estimated the average of deposits from the balance at the close of tho day, or from tho balance after exchanges at tho clearing houses. In conclusion, tho Treasurer requests, in tho event that tho re gulationsin this respect wcro complied with by them, that nn additional return bo forwarded which shall contain a statement of tho avcrago of deposits, estimated from tho balanco of desposits at tho closo of the day. Tho excess in tho average of balances eo returned, as made up after tho exchanges at the clearing house, and that they remit to his office an amount equal to ono quarter of one per cent, on such differences of computation.

D. Seigfried, Pastor Twelfth Baptist Church. Philadelphia. Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion; aoeora rvvniwl by a prostration of the ncrvoasi system. Numerous remctlios were rccommcndc-by fri wide, and some of them tested, but without relief.

Yor Hoofland'it German Bitters were recommended by persona who had tried them, and whoso faroraMo mention of theso Bitten induced me to try taera. I must confess that I had an aversion to-Patont Medleines from tbo "thousand and one" quack "Bitters." whose only aim teems to. bo to pelaf off sweetened and drugged liquor upon tk in a sly way, and the tendency of which. I fear, li to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation 1 took itwith happy effect.

Its action not only upon the stomach, but upon tho nervosa system, was prompt ard gratifying. I feel that I have derived great and permanent beartSt from the use of a few hqttlcs. Very respectfully, yours, W.D.SEiamED. No. Sbackamaxon Street, From Rov.
