A Valuable Relic.—We are indebted to Mr. A. T. Wilson, of Union, Tenn., for the privilege of perusing a volume of speeches made in the Congress of 1840-41. The volume contains the acrimonious debates on the National Bank and the course of President Tyler. The work seems to have been compiled to order by ex-President Polk, and bears his autograph on the second page of the cover. The autographs of Hon. Henry Waterson and Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson are to be found on their speeches. The volume is one of rare interest and no inconsiderable value.
