Now York papers, ot tbe2oth, announce the dealb on ti e I9tb, at San Francisco, of Hon. Matthew Hall McAllister, late U. S. Judge tor tbe District of California Judge McAl lister was a native of Savannah, and was the son of Hon. Matthew McAllister, many years ago a leading member of the Savannah bar; and was about sixty-five yerasold at tbe time of bis decease. For some time he held tbe position of the U. S. District Attorney lor Georgia, and, in 1834, 1835, 183d and 1837, he represented Chatham county in the State Scn.ae lu 1845, he was the unsuccessful candidate of the Democratic party for Gov ernor. lu 1850, he removed to California, aid began the practice of law at San Fran cisco. On the establishment of a District Court there, be was appointed Judge, which position he held uutil his health was destroy ed. For many years Judge McAllister held a prominent position at the Qeorgia liar lo a commanding person and facinatiug man. nets he added the graces of oratory and the force of intellect. In companionable quali ties he excelled. Many who knew him here, and enjoyed the charms of his soeiety, will regret to hear of his death. Snvann&n and the Florida Trade. “I read with interest and pleasure the re cent editorial remarks of the Savannah Hebaid, urging the immediate completi&n of the Branch Road, connecting the Savan nah and Gull Road with ,the Road between Tallahassee and Jacksonville.” The removal of a part of the iron from tnis Branch Road, which will render it use less, perhaps, for months, is a severe blow to the interests of Sayannab, and has occa sioned much disappointment with the peo ple of this entire section, who had indulged the t ope that by the Ist of January, at least, thev would be placed in direct cotnmuni ertion with your city." "Although not in possession of the most accurate information upon the subject of the ability of the projectors of this branch to purchase the iron required for the twenty miles of the track, made useless by the re moval of the rails belonging to the Fernan dir.a and Cedar Keyes Road, yet, lam sul ficiently posted to venture the assertion, that, without assistance, adequate pecuniary means may not he realised by tbe Directory to enable it to complete tbe enterprise forth with. The suggestion, therefore, by the Hebald to the business inen of Savannah, that their own interests, as well as the com mercial prosperity of the city,might ho great ly promoted by the tender of financial aid, to facilitate an early completetion of the work, was apropos both in point of time and value of sigfflßeAuce I feel assured that only a momentary consideration of the ex tent tiud value oi the traffic that would he secured, beyond peradventure, by the com pletion of this unfinished link, would con vince the people of Savannah of the impor tance of providing the means, necessary for its accomplishment, without delay.” The above extract from n private letter received 1 v ntleirtuu in this city, from a prominent citizen o) Middle i'ioud.i, will be read with interest, ns throwing additional light upon a subject oi the highest impor tance to the people of this eity. The solicitude manifested by the writer, in common with the people generally of the most productive portion of our sister State, gives additional and conclusive confirmation of what we have so frequently presented iu these columns, in regard to the value of the contemplated rail road connection, and the consequent necessity for its early comple tion. We speak advisedly when we say, that il this connection had been consummated at the commencement of the present business season, forty, and perhaps fifty thousand bates of cotton which were forced into other and less direct commercial channels, would have been sent forward iu this city: and, we may add, the larger portion ot this amount would have been sold here, and not forward ed by the producers to more northern mar kets, owing to their pressiug wants for mo ney immediately in hand There is another important consideration which, in this connection, should uot be overlooked. The receipt of this large amount of cotton would necessarily have brought with it a considerable number of new cus tomers, whose purchases of merchandise ol every description, would add largely to the wealth of our merchants and the cum mercial prosperity of the city. The double loss we have thus sustained, whiie it is to be regretted, should have the effect, as we trust it will, to stimulate our business men to take -uch remedial action in the premises as will arrest at once the further progress of the injury. As we remarked on a foimer occa sion, rail road iron is one of the articles which cannot be bought on credit. To raise the mnuunt of money required to insure the s i.o.y outfit of the Branch Road is the ti -4 u.o.ai problem which addresses itself to all interested lor solution. The knowledge of t :is fact carries with it the responsibility of removing the difficulty by loans of money to the company sufficient to meet the emergen cy ; and as none are more deeply con cerned in this matter than the Savannah mer e-haute, it is not unreasonable to suppose that they will be prompt to meet in this legard— the just expectations of the public. EXPANSION AND MINTH ACTION There are no terms so often vaguely ap plieu as those at the head ol this article iu economical discussions. The idea of currency is uppermost in the mind when allusion is made to inflation of prices. There is some thing intangible associated with credit. Iu the exchange of money lor commodities, sUould it be gold or silver or its equivalent, ths money and the commodity being brought iuto direct comparison, the Idea of exchange being implied, quantity Is the chief iucrediciq of value As the quantity of money Ingreas «». t>ncrs as it diminishes, prices fail It is more difficult to comprehend in what maimer the extrusion or I'nutraeiUm of credit «b tales hi depresses prices | hut there can not tie r, distinct ■ uucepllon of llm liitlunucw ettdiv on prices, unless the variety ol tortus which U assumes is understood Mills nl IlSi.UkUge <|| cheques or tlkllti'l's OU liHlikcl i f wsA* a nlas ■ ffii as Intis 111 litlsUg priest k *l'•<-uti uuli tSI hotV lately it ail Itiflu I ** sssiawd to any agssu » last Orel of bank jnot«s iu raising pr>qes f Tbe sots object of I restraint U that form of credit that does the hast injury, to wit, the circulating nolea of j banks. I This render* the distinction between the | extension of currency and the extension of ! credit ot the highest importance If the Usui s i of banks have a tendency to become cxces [ sire there is a near principle of limitation ! found in the requirements ot business. As it lias been well expressed by a late lecturer iu tbe city of New York. Mr. Stllwell, the care of tbe legislator is not required for the quanti ty, hut the quality of the circulating medium. The interest of the public is adequately pio leeted by requiring the national banks to give security for their issue* by depositing iu the Treasury of tbe United Btates public securities amounting to ninety per cent, ot those issues. The source oi mischief then in bankiue is not excessive circulation. It finds its limit in the limitation of business, ft is only temporarily that banks are able to ex tend their loans and discounts through the agency of their notes , but they at times do mfinitc harm by discounting paper in the form of promissory notes and bills of ex change. They give to commercial operations undue extension by means ot their deposits : they in this way stimulate speculation, and are finally compelled to suspend specie pay ments. Before this result takes place con traction oi credit, not ot currency, follows, and commercial bankruptcies are the inevitable consequence. Such are the effects ot the too great extension of credit by those institu tions whose function it is to supply the pub lic with a circulating medium, aud become the depositaries of private, aud, often of public funds, which they frequently invest in public securities, locking up those funds when they should he readily converti ble These deposits are employed, without paying interest, in loau9 and discounts, and where there is an intimate connection between the Government and the banks, as at pres ent, the public deposits are of eourse applied to making investments ig the Government securities, as by the national banks to a great extent in the r.3os—in other words, loaning the Government their own money. The hazard ot this system of banking con sists in its instability—in the difficulty of realizing assets which in a period of alarm are not convertible. The excesses of banking through the agency of paper money correct themselves. It is impossible to keep afloat, except tem porarily, a large volume of paper money, uuless by a suspension of specie payments, and under the public authority ; bnt if with the issues of the Government are combined the extension of mercantile credit, by means of tlie large sums placed on deposit by the public and individuals, the mischief will en large itself with the increase of the funds at command, and should the foreign exchanges become unfavorable, (the imports exceeding ihe exports,) the evil 'may become intense tied and indefinitely prolonged. St. Johns Day at Hilton Head.— The 27th of Dc< ember was celebrated at Hilton Head, on Wednesday, by the Masonic Fra ternity, with a supper at ‘he Sea Island Ho tel, which, under Mr. Buckley’s direction, was everything that could be desired. Col Peter Dunbar, formerly acting Mayor of that city, and one of the most prominent citizens, presided, and Mr Charles S. Kuh, the well known jeweller, was Chairman of the com mittee of arrangements. The evening was passed very pleasantly, and among the ex ercises was au address by Surgeon Huber, wlio has charge of the General Hospital. Tlie Masonic institution is flourishing at Hil ton Head, where the members are more than usually united, and where all the objects of tlie fraternity, eleemosynary or otherwise, are creditably carried out Mm.Ur ttl Ooctoi'to,vn. We learn that on Sunday nigflt last an old citizen of Doctortown, Henry Grantliam, was fatally shot by one of Company K, 103d U. S. Colored Troops, stationed at Doctortown The ball entered the heart and the victim died immediately. F<®r of the colored sol diers are implicated in the commission of this bloody deed. After the old man was killed, his wife came out on the porch to give her assistance in pelting her husband in the house. The soldiers immediately made an attack on her,*it is reported, brutally cutting ami bayoneting her. Tlie right side ot the face, head, neck, &c., were fearfully mutilat ed. The sufferer lies in ft critical condition. The offenders are all under arrest aud are to be tried by a Military Commission. Blood was found on tlie clothes of the prisoners. Grantham's children were all absent from home, Grautham and his family were much re spected in Wayne county. Mr. Grantham's oldest daughter was also in the fray and re ceived quite severe injuries, a severe wound in the head, a finger nearly taken ofl and other injuries. After Mrs. Grantham became insensible she w as dragged through the hall of t lie house, and thrown under a bed in an ante room whence, after regaining her senses, she made her escape from tlie house into a field near by Mrs McColum also escaped from the house and gave the alarm. Some of their neighbors hearing the cries for assistance, rendered it promptly. Mr. Grantham's resi dence is about three miles below Doctortown on the river.
