COLIJMBTTS: I.XIIiiKST CITY CIRCULATION. Monday Hornlug, Oet. 10, 1857. Wild Shall be Done t The Central Bank of Alabama, at Mont gomery, suspended specie payments on Saturday. This is the beginning in Ala bama. What will be the course of the two banks in Mobile, the Commercial Bank at Selma, and the Northern Bank of Alabama, remains to be seen. We think it requires no prophet to predict what necessity will compel them to do. They must yield or have every dollar drawn from their vaults and leave the commerce of their localities at the mercy of distant suspended hanks. The same may be said of the Bank of Columbus, the Bank of Fulton, the Banks of Augusta and Charleston. As to the Bank of Columbus, our citi zens are satisfied of its soundness, and all would be delighted to sec it stand up, as it can do, until the last of its neigh bors have gone by the board. But what will it avail ? While almost every other hank in the State is in a slate of suspen sion it will be impossible for it to be of any use to itself or our citizens. Then, if the business of the country is to be conducted the coming winter with a sus pended currency, we say the sooner the Bank of Columbus closes her vault against the drain the better for the people for whose convenience it. was established. Columbus lias no citizen who could re gret more than ourself the necessity for such a course; but banks arc creatures of circumstance, and, like men, have to yield to surrounding circumstances. And, we repeat, the Bank of Columbus owes it to licr business men to follow the exam ple set by her seniors in Georgia. ♦ An Important Nuggesilon. It has been suggested to the Atlanta Intelligencer that, it recommend a meet ing of the Presidents of the several banks of the Slate lie held in Atlanta, early this week, during tho State Fair, to take counsel as to the financial stale of the country, and to adopt such rules of con duct as may ameliorate its present dis tracted condition. We unite with the Intelligencer in hop ing !)<al in Mucon, Columbus, Augusta, and Savannah tho suggestion will be fa vorably considered. Homicide in Talladoga, Ala. We learn from the Talladoga Watcbtow er, that an unfortunate difficulty occurred m the neighborhood of that town on last Monday, between Mr. Lewis Bishop and a Mr. Maxwell, which resulted in the death of the latter. Thu fatal wound was said to ho inflicted by a pistol shot. Mr. Bishop promptly and unsought surrender ed himself to the proper authorities, ami upon trial, was hound over to appear ut tho next term of the Circuit Court of Tal ladega county. Horrid M linin’ In AUlinmn. We learn from the Mobile Tribune that uii Thursday or Friday of week before lust, a most horrid murder was perpetra ted on the body of Mr. Richard K. Stew art, of Sumter county, in that State, lie had been missing for several days, and as no account could bo given of his ab sence, search was instituted for his body, when, from the suspicious conduct of one of Mr. S.’s negroes, he was taken up, and confessed the murder and showed where the body of his master was buried. The body was deposited in a lode in the cornfield, and in hauling in the corn the wagon hail been run over the spot fre quently to obliterate all traces of a grave. Teu of the negroes arc implicated in the murder, together with the overseer, all of whom arc now in jail in Livingston. Five of the negroes confess the murder, and implicate the overseer, saying they killed him about midnight with a mallet, then hauled him otf in the wagon and buried him. Mr. Stewart had no family, and, with the exception of his overseer, and himself, there was no while person ion the premises, lie resided near Mar on, in Sumter county. More Kittling In tialttiuorr. The citizens of Baltimore appear to be exertiug themselves to render that city worthy of the title that has been bestow ed upon it, “The City of Riots.” An election cannot occur, nor a public de monstration of any kind come otf, but there is a riot in which several persons are killed and many others wouuded. A dispatch from that city says that at the charter election which came off in that city on the 14th inst., affrays occurred in several of the Wards, and it was rumored sevaral persous were killed and many wouuded. Verily, the “Monumental City” is fast acquiring a title which will swallow up thehonorable one sho has so long borne. ■ Pennsylvania V'li-itltin. The returns from the elections in this State come in slowly, but the result is so certain for the Democracy that little in terest is felt in the details. Parker, tho Democratic candidate, is certainly elected Governor over his Freesoil opponent, the notorious Davy Wilmot, by an over whelming majority. In the city of Phil adelphia, l'arker's majority is 4,!100 over both his opponents. Returns from other portions of the State are equally favora ble, so far as received, to the success of Parker. Ohio Klertionn. The returns from the elections in Ohio are yet too incomplete to determine the result. The returns, so far as received, show a Democratic gain over the last Presidential election, though not enough to carry the State, it is thought, for the Democrats. In fifty counties, Chase, Black Republican candidate for Gover nor, loßes 11,000 votes, as compared with Fremont’s vote at the last election. Both parties claim* the State by a small ma jority. “A Word for the Ladles.” The gallant editor of the Enquirer, in his overweening anxiety to bo, par excel lent*, the champion of the fairer portion of God’s creation, and ingratiate himself into their affections, takes up the cudgel in their behalf, and pitches into us right lustily, as well as others of the cditoriul profession, for our plnin, blunt honesty in daring to tell them of their faults, in terms which perhaps arc more truthful than agreeable. Whether his toadyism will affect the desired result remains to be seen, but, unless we are mistaken in the attributes of the female character, and have placed a higher estimate upon it tlian it really deserves, his champion ship of their imaginary wrongs will be entirely repudiated, and he treated with the contempt which his fawning syco phancy deserves. The ladies certainly have the discretion to know that he who is loudest in their praise, and who not only winks ut but encourages their faults, is not their true friend, but he only who is wilting to brave their anger for a brief period, by pointing out their faults and seeking to reform them, really admires them, and lias their good at heart.— Os all men in the world, tho most dan gerous to female virtue, and who the leust respects it, is the man who will encourage them iu wrong doing by his praises, and lead them by the same means from one fault to another. We appre hend no woman of fashion, for tho last few years, would he willing to place her hand upon her heart, and say before God that she has been discharging her whole duty us mother, wife or daughter, while she was pursuing the fashionable follies of the day. If they cannot say this, will they thank any one for lectur ing or finding fault witli a friend wiio has the moral courage to point out to them tho error of their ways, and seek to bring about a reformation ? We trow not. We would advise our friend of tlie En quirer, before lie constitutes himself the exclusive champion of “the best portion of creation,” to study their true charac ters, and not take for grahted, simply be cause they have been led into the follies that have so detracted from their virtues by the flatteries of those who care more for a passing smile than they do for the permanent good of those they affect to esteem, that they are the natural and constitutional vain and frivolous beings that they appear to lie. No! We have a higher appreciation of woman’s charac ter than that, and whenever we see her departing from her true mission, although we may incur her frowns thereby, we will not hesitate to remind her of it, and strive, by every honorable means, to bring her back into the path which na ture intended, and I lie good of society demands, she should tread. If our re marks reflected no honor on the pen that wrote them, not tho less dishonorable is the course of the Enquirer, in pandering to the follies of those whom he would have believe that he is their only friend, and particular champion. Out upon such toadyism. for the Unity Sun. The Hank off Columbim- 44 The Right Spirit.” Mr. Editor: In the prevailing panic 1 have been induced to compare the condi tion of the Bank of Columbus with the Banks of South Carolina, in reference to her ability to meet the increased run up on her, induced by the universal panic that seems to have spread through every section of the country, and it af forded me pleasure, as it doubtless will your readers, to find that she is better prepared than any bank in Charleston to meet the demands that may be made upon her. If you will publish the annexed re ports of the Charleston banks for the month ending the 30th ult., and also the statement of the Bank of Columbus for tho same time, you willliud that her pro portion of specie is five times greater than many of the banks in South Caro lina, and largely more than the Bank of Charleston, which itself is altogether in a better condition than any other bank in Charleston. The Charleston Bank hav ing a circulation of $728,734, and specie $247,586: while the Columbus Bank lias $82,816 77 in specie, to a circulation of only $161,01)2. To the prudent management of this bank, and its abundant means as exhib ited by the report made October 1. may bo attributed the remarkable fact that during this period of panic the confi dence of tho billholdcrs in this institu tion seems entirely unabated, and while it stands ready to redeem its issues, the demand upon it for specie is compara tively light ; occasionally a person may be found offering a premium for its bills, in order to speculate upon its good faith and solvency, but to tho credit of the community be it said, t hat as much as five per cent, premium has been refused for its bills, the holders preferring to de posit them with the bank to lending them selves in any way to embarrass it at a time like this. A commendable spirit seems to pervade our people in sustain ing this bank that might be emulated to advantage elsewhere. The people instead of drawing from it its coin, are in many instances actually depositing specie with it to strengthen tlie officers in their laud able determination of maintaining specie payments Below 1 annex the table re ferred to: (. iiTwUtion.

N. B.—The writer docs not feel au thorized to give the names of persons who within his knowledge have deposited spe cie with the bank, but he thinks it would be but an act of justice in the officers to publish their names. How many fond mothers and frugal housewives keep their daughters and preserves for some extra occasion, or some ‘‘big bug” or other, until both turn sour ? This seems to us marvelously poor economy. TEIjEGRAPHIC. TKLMJRADHEIJ TO THE DAILY SCA. groin New Orleans. New Oni.EAN*, Oct. 16. i The sales of Cotton to-day reached 2,- 50.0 bales, at prices ranging from 9} to !>}c. The sales of the week have been 16,000, and the receipts for the same pe riod 37,000 bales. Block on hand 113,- ! 230 bales. Decrease at this port 00,000 i —at all the ports 101,860 bales, i Flour nominal, 5} for best brands.— Wheat and Corn unchanged. Coffee 10c., I with sales for the week of 800 bags. Freights on Cotton to Liverpool half; ! to Havre one. The run on the Banks has censed, and confidence, in a great measure, lias been ’ restored. No new failures have been an | nounced. The suspended Banks contemplate an | early resumption of specie payments.— Monetary nffuiis are unsettled, but gen erally are easier, and indicate an early return to confidence. Cotton Mu lit it Advancing. New Ohi.eans, Oct. 17. The cotton market opened this morn ing at OJc., and advanced to 10c. for specie funds, and higher for exchange, factors asking more at the close of the day. The receipts of the day have been 1,495 bales. The Bank of New Grleans will resume specie payments next week. Business prospects generally are brighter to-day. Home movements in Exchange, but prices are irregular. BY TBLKOKAPH AND MAIL. The steamship Northern Light arrived at New York on the ltitli instant, from Aspinwall. She brought $1,600,000 in gold from California. Dispatches from Cincinnati on the 16th, state that 62 counties have been heard from, and the Democratic majority is up wards of 10,000. Another dispatch, late in the evening of the same day, says it will require the official returns to decide (lie contest for Governor. The Legisla ture, it is stated, will probably be Demo cratic. Dispatches from Nashville on the 16th, say the Banks of that State having gen erally suspended, the Legislature, now in session, is considering (lie proper poli cy to be pursusod towards them. The Exchange Bank of Columbia, S. C., suspended on the 16th. The Commer cial Bank of the same place continued to pay specie. Election news from Kansas to the 13th instant, has been received at St. Louis. Both parties were claiming the victory. No official returns received. Gov. Walker defends permitting the soldiers to vote in Kansas, on the ground that six months enrollment makes them citizens. •liKlge ll > I<-life till not De<l. We learn from the Augusta Constitu tionalist that a letter was received in that city,on Friday last, from Judge Hy denfeldt, dated San Francisco, Sept. 1. So it appears to boa mistake about his being on the Central*- America. This will be welcome news to the many friends of the Judge in fliis vicinity. ♦ Tlie Cotton Crop. Accounts from New Orleans represent the cotton crop in Texas as being affected by (he boll worm. In Louisiana and Alabama the crop is also affected by the same cause. Further by the Vanderbilt. As already announced under our tele graphic head on Saturday, the steamship Vanderbilt arrived at New York on the 16tli inst., with dates from Liverpool to the 3d instant. The following are furth er particulars brought by iter in relation to tlie stato of trade, and also some gen eral intelligence: In Liverpool tlie inferior qualities of cotton hail slightly declined. The sales of tho week were 27,000 bales, of whicli speculators took 6,500 and exporters 2.- 500 bales, leaving 18,000 bales of all des criptions to the trade. Orleans Fair was quoted at V)fd; (Or leans Middling al'J3-10d: Mobile Fair at. 0j ; Mobile Middling at OJd ; Fair Up lauds at OJd ; Middling Uplands at 8 15- lOd. The market closed quiet and steady. The sales on Friday were 6,000 bales. The stock on hand comprised 336,000 bales, of which 108,500 were American. YU qualities of breadstuff's had slight ly declined. Wheat was dull at a decline of from 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs. Corn was dull at a decline of Od. per 480 lbs. Sugar was quiet. Rosin was buoyant and turpentine steady. Manchester advices were favorable. The money market was animated. Kx ebequer bills were quoted at a decline of TO ss. Consols OOj. Tho telegraphic news from Cawnporo is to the 18th of August. General Havelock had defeated the rebels near that place.— Sixteen hundred of his army had died of choleia. All was well nt Lucknow on the 18th August. The news from China is unfavorable. The Emperor refuses any arrangement with the English. ♦ Wealth of Stewart County. J. M. Cranberry, Esq., our Tax Receiv er. says the Lumpkin Plaiudealer, furn ishes us with a summary of his returns, front which we extract the following: Number acres laud returned.... $365,538 Value of land 2,203,485 Value of town property 134,667 Number of slaves 7,383 Value of slaves 4,443,620 Money and solvent debts X ,417,1*73 Merchandize 05,319 Capital invested in shipping, &c. 25,000 Capital as ag’t of foreign bnnks.. 136,260 Capital invested in stocks, &c... 21,600 Household and kitchen furniture 17,844 Value of other property 560,001 Aggregate value..... $8,06i,2 >3 Young Mr. Wilder, who was stabl. ‘by E.

We understand that the famous racer Nicholas 1 has reached this city, and been taken to Columbia, 8. C., to prepare for the winter campaign. He will probably encounterugaiu the celebrated Sue Wash ington in a post stake, either at Columbia or Savannah, as it is the intention ot tlie owner of Sue Washington to have her at both those places, and he is one not like ly to let her remain idle when there is a chance for her to “go in’’ either for mon ey or fame. Should these noble nags meet, a very severe contest may be expected for su premuoy, and it will he exceedingly inter esting, as they have each in turn beaten the other. There is much difference of opinion among the kuowing ones, what will be the result, should they both be right when they next ‘-fight their young encounters o'er again.” Sue Washington at Columbia in December last beat Nicho las, and three others, two mile heats ; and Nicholas beat Sue Washington twice last Spring, over the Fashion Course nt New York, four mile heats. Sue was not her self on those occasions, but made a very fine race under the circumstances, prov ing not only her own ‘‘high-deserving,’ but also that Nicholas, from the speed and endurance he showed, is fairly enti tled to tlie high reputation lie enjoys, as one of the great equine celebrities of tlie day. His performances have been such it is a thousand pities that by a mistaken judg ment of his early powers, a cruel decree went forth against him, which destines him uow to say with Macbeth— ‘•Upon my lieiul they plaiecl a fruitless crown, And put ft barren sceptre in my gripe, Thence to lie wrenched witli an unlincal hand, Ao son of mine succeeding.” We are gratified to perceive that a con vention of the different Jockey Clubs throughout the Union is proposed, and is likely to be held in this city, in the week after our next races. Many matters of general interest will be considered. Among others the proper location for the Central National Course, which has been of late engaging the attention of the friends of the turf, as an institution that ought to be established in our country, and which was originally suggested by a South Carolinian, tho former Secretary of tlie South Carolina Jockey Club. He thought Washington was the proper place, and this seems to lie the prevailing opin ion now, although for many weighty rea sons, some breeders and trainers would prefer Richmond or Petersburg. Thy convention will also lake up aud act upon the proposition we made last Feb ruary, fill- an annual post stake, to be run by turns on the different race courses throughout tin- Union. We see indications every where that promise well for the sports of the turf.— Charleston Courier. Education of Girls. The subject of physical education is be ginning to attract attention. The follow ing remarks are from the Boston Courier, written by the editor after having attend ed a school festival in Faneuil Hall: But there was one thing we noticed which did throw a little shadow over our thoughts. We stood on the platform, very near the boys and girls, as they passed by to receive a bouquet at the hands of tlie Mayor. VVe could not help observing that not one girl in ten had the air and look of good health. There were very many love ly countenances —lovely with an expres sion of intellect and goodness—but they were like lair flowers l-estiug upon a fra gile stalk. Narrow chests, round shoul ders, meagre forms, pallid cheeks, were far too commuii. There was a general want in their movements of the buoyancy and vivacity of youth and childhood. The heat of the day and the nervous exhaus tion of the occasion were to be taken into the account, and due allowance should be made for them. But this was not the first time that we were forced to the conclu sion, that iu the education of girls, the body is much neglected. And it is a great and serious neglect, the consequence of which will not end with the sufferers themselves (If what use is it to learn all sorts of things during the first sixteen years of life, and to stuff the brain with all kinds of knowledge, it the price be a feeble or diseased body? A finely endow ed mind shut, up in a sickly body is like a bright light in a broken lantern, liable to be blown out by a puff of wind or extin guished by a dash of rain. If the desti ny of women were to be put under a glass and looked at like a flower, it would be of little consequence ; but woman must take her part in performing the duties and sustaining the burdens of life. These young model scholars, in due time, will marry men whose lot it is to earn their bread by some kind of toil, in which their wives must needs aid them. To this ser vice they will bring intelligent capacity and conscientious purpose; but. how far will these go without health, and tho cheer ful spirits which health gives? A sickly wife is no helpmate, but a hiuderniate.— If we neglect the body the body will have its revenge. And are we not doing this ? Are we not throwing our whole education al force upon the brain? Is not a heal thy city born and bred woman getting to be as rare as u black swan ? And is it not time to reform this altogether? Is it not time to think something of the casket ns well as the jewel—something of the lan tern as well as tlie light? Suicide. We regret to learn, says the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal of the 14th instant, from a private letter received here this morn ing, from a highly respectable source, da ted Washington, N. C., Oct. 11th, 1857, that that town was thrown into no little excitement on the morning of the above date, iu consequence of the appalling fact, that Thomas H Hardcuburg, Esq., Cashier of tlie branch of tho Bank of Cape Fear at that place put an end to his life on tlie previous night, by blowing liis brains out with a pistol The letter states that ‘‘no cause is known that would have prompted this awful deed.” Mr. 11. was highly respected by all who had enjoyed his acquaintance, and we would have thought him the last man that would have committed an net of this kind. It is sta ted from other sources, that his Bank transactions could not have had anything to do with the matter, as it is reported that his accounts iu Bank were all found to be correct. He leaves several children and a large circle of friends aud acquaintances to mourn his untimely death. Yellow Fever in Cliai-leston. In the bill of mortality published by the City Register of Charleston, for the week ending 10th inst., there are three deaths reported by yellow fever. The Register states : “There have been a few cases of yellow fever in tlie city during the last fortnight—they were considered as sporadic, and no new cases have oc curred since the commencement of last week.” Eartliuuake ut SI- Louts. The telegraph has already recorded the fact that two shocks of an earthquake were lclt at St. Louis aud vicinity a little after lour o’clock on ihursday mottling last. It appears from the papers of that citv that one of them was very violent.— The Democrat has the tollowing particu lars : The first premonition is said to have been given by a slight concussion about , midnight; but at the time stated those who were awake heard a low aud distant rumbling, which failed to arouse atten tion till it rapidly increased to the volume of the sound of heavy trains of ears thun dering through every street in the city. .Sonic liken the noise to a protracted re verberating explosion, others to the roar of a whirlwind, others to tlie mere pass ing of market wagons—but all agree that it was tremendous. When at its height tlie buildings began to rock appallingly. Thousands sprang from their beds iu alarm, and rushed into the street. The northern sky was clear, but from the southward a heavy mist was swiftly ad vancing, and in a moment nearly obscur ed the street lamps. In many instances the lamps were in an instant unaccount ably extinguished. The violent shock lasted full three-fourths of a minute, and was instantly succeeded by a second roar and attendant shock of less severity. Many describe botli as one, and aver that the heavy shock lasted full three minutes. Iu about five minutes afterwards the noise and concussion were repeated with com parative mildless, but very perceptibly. The St. Louis Republican says the eve ning of Wednesday was calm, and the moon reflected extraordinary brilliancy upon the city. Towards night a slight humidity gathered over the city, and la ter this increased to a dense fog. It cor roborates tlie account in the Democrat, and adds : We have not yet heard of any great amount of actual damage done. Some few small articles were broken in many houses by falling. A three-story house, occupied by Mr. Landry, on Wasli street, was cracked from top to bottom. Bells were rung in several houses, as for in stance in that of Dr. Mcl’hcetcrs. Over in the adjoining regions of Illinois, and those portions of tlie State lying contigu ous to St. Louis, it is certain that the commotion was not less severe than it was in this city. In Illinois, it was ac companied by a tempestuous sky, mid electrical phenomena of an unusual char acter ; while with us it was preceded by freaks of electricity, variously described as vivid flashes of lightning, and the. des cent of blinding meteroric balls from the heavens. The St. Louis Leader says : Earthquakes, if we may believe the his tory of the rocks, have been no unusual things iu this vicinity in ages past. And, not to go back t<J antiquity, many of our oldest citizens well remember the terrible earthquake that occurred at New Madrid in 1811, when that village was partially destroyed, and a large section of that part of tho State sunk and submerged, rendering an act of Congress necessary to grant other lands to the settlers in place of those that were destroyed. For many years after the occurrence, the in habitants experienced violent shocks pe riodically, and emigrants were afraid to settle in that quarter. Distress in Slice Towns. The Newburyport (Mass.) Herald hears of considerable distress in the shoe towns of Essex county. During the last week many hands were discharged in Lynn, and more will be next week. The winter prospects for tlie poor, thereabouts, are gloomy. -*-■ ASTHMA.—Joans Whitcomb’s Remedy w ill al ways afford immediate relief, and generally cure this distressing complaint.
