A cool Dun--Since the occupation of Nashville by the federal Army, many incidents of an amusing nature have occurred, among which the cool impudence of the following is not the least interesting. It is a dunning letter from a bank in the interior of New York, to a Nashville banker, a copy of which has been handed to us:

March 17, 1862

Dear Sir:
Please accept my hearty congratulations on your return to the Union and on the growing supremacy in your state of that "Old Glory," the stars and stripes, and permit me to suggest as an appropriate commemoration and celebration of the happy event, the payment of that little balance of $72 59, which you have owed me since the 11th of May, 1861. Don't send "Secesh" scrip, as it will not pass here.
Respectfully, ________ ____________
