:OOLTJMBTJS: LARoiIT OITT cmCULATIOK. Monday Morning, Dec. 14, IHT. Bat, reading matter on ’Vlret Page. The Legislature. We learn by a private letter from Col. Mott from Milledgeville, on the 11th, that the House was engaged all that day in passing bills, but as most of them are of a local character and of little general in terest, we do not think proper to cumber onr columns with an enumeration of them. A bill passed the House of Representa tives on that day, appropriating $70,000 for the completion of the Lunatic Asylum and for furnishing it in a measure that would secure the comfort and convenience of the unfortunate inmates. Central It. It. Bank Bill. The Corner Atone of last week, in some rery severe but very just strictures upon the system of bnukiug set forth in the bill proposing an increase in the banking capital of the Central Railroad and Hank ing Company, states that it was introduced by our Representative. Col. R. L. Mott. The hill was introduced by Mr. Cordon, of Chatham, and not by Mr. Mott, and Wo arc glad to learn, has been withdrawn by Mr Gordon, with the getieial consent of the House. It is therefore useless to discuss the matter of the the expediency or justness of such a system, as it has probably received its quietus for all time to come. Mrs. Frank R. Wright (Miss Louise Reeder) commences a series of moral entertainments in Washington, D. C., this week, consisting of a-description of the beauties of the Court of Napoleon, ench represented in appropriate costume. She will also deliver a lecture upon tho subject of “Beautiful Men.” Mrs. W. designs visiting Philadelphia, New York, and the principal Houtbern'cities. *... ■ -- Lost at Mea. We learn from tho Savannah Republi can that Mr. George JCarroll Beach, who left that place for New on board the Steamer Western Port, last Thursday, fell overboard at sea. Every effort to recover him was made, but proved una vailing. Mr. B. was 28 years of age, n native of Michigan, and bad been spend ing some few months with his brother, Mr. E. C. Beach, in Savannnh. We see it stntcd in our exchanges that tho President lias removed District At torney McKcon ofNew York, for voting against Wood for Mayor. Wo hope tho report may prove true. The contest in New York was not whether Feruerndo Wood should ho Mayer, -but whether tho pure Democracy of New York, or the Rlack Republicans should rule the city. Tho black republicans waged a war against Wood, beenuso in hia administra tion of oity affairs, he showed no favor to that party, and they wero joined in tho recent election by such hypocrites as MoKeon, and in the defeat, of Wood, liavo succeeded in putting Black Republicanism in the asoendairy. Mr. Buchanan owes it to the sturdy democracy of New York City to make other wolves in sheeps clothing, besides MoKeon, walk tho plank, and wo hope shortly to see a general cleaning out. Tennessee Rail Road*. From tho report of thu Commissioner of Rail Roads in Tennessee, wo learn that there are now 036 miles of finished rail roads in that Stato. Tho roads completed and commenced amount to 1,600 miles.— Tho Nashville News says : “The total ac tual cost of 1,385 miles is $28,844,739 — an average of $20,820 per mile. The State aid granted and to bo granted to these roads, whose oost is hero given, is $10,400,000. The whole amount pledged by the Stato to tho companies which have completed their roads, or placed parts thereof under contract, amounts to $19,- 090,000. The amouut of aid granted and to be granted to the finished roads and to those now in actual progress of construc tion, is $16,615,000, leaving $3,016,000 as the sum pledgod is those companies which have suspended operations.” The Commissioner arrive* at the conclusion that it may bo safely’’ estimated that the present and prospective liability of the Stato under its genoral improvement sys tem will not exceed $16,000,000. Further Mormon Depredations* Telegraphic dispatches from St. Louis dated Bth inst., state that an express had passed through that city for Wash ington, with dispatches from Colonel Johnson. The Republican publishes advices to the 3d of November. The Mormons had stolen six hundred head of cattle in sight of Major Alexander's camp. It was supposed that Col. Johnson had concentrated his forces with those of Major Alexander. There was much suffering for want of provisions and clothing. The horses also wanted forage, and were giving out. Gov. Cumming and the other officers were determined to eutcr Salt Lake City, if possible, whilst the Mormons were determined to make resistance. A skir miah between Major Alexander and the Mormons had taken place, in which a few of the latter were taken. Col. Hoffman, who left Fort Leaven worth the last of October, had reached St. Louis, hut he brought no news about the Utah Expedition.— Auyutta Contt. Heavy Rain* and Destruction of Property. It has been years since this section of country has been visited with as heavy rains as we have been having for the past week. It commenced raining last Friday night, and has continued with hardly an hour’s interval to the present time. The river is in booming tide, and farmers are apprehensive with fear that it may break it* bands and cause a general sweep of ungathered corn, late sown wheat and property generally. The Back water is so high in the streams a* to cause rnuoh destruction and loss to suoh as own pro perty thereon. If the rain* should con tinue a day longer, the havoo will be unimaginable, and at the time of writing it ie still pouring.— Chattanooga Adverti se. Dee. 10. ffevr York Bank* Resumed. Reliable private dispatches received in this city, state that a general resumption of specie payments, by the New York Banks, took place on Saturday last. This, we presume, will be followed by a resumption, within the next thirty days, by the Banks of Georgia, South Carolina, and the two Banks in Alabama. What effect it will havo on the money affairs of our people we think few, to-day, can foresee. We hope for the better ; but we look for the tightest times in money that our people have experienced for many a day. Os course the disposition of the Banks will be to discount no description of paper whatever, at least within the next forty days, and to urge the most stringent measures to call in their res pective circulations. It requires no profit to predict the effect such a course will havo on every interest. It is unfortunate for the country that the Banks have been forced to a resump tion at this season of the year. But a small portion of the cotton crop has gone forward, and the bulk is yet in planter's bands. In addition to this, the season for laying in Fork has just set in. It is true it will tend to cheapen both articles ; but who is beuefitted ‘! The loss to the planter on his cotton, where he is forced to have money, will not be compensated by tho reduction in Pork. To the mer chant, mechanic and arlizan, the effect will be chilling, putting his business to a test we fear few will be able to weather, placing it beyond the power of employers to meet the weekly wages of their labor ers, and a consequent curtailment of force. The Banks are not responsible for the course we think has been resolved on. — They have been vilified and abused, and their managers charged with being insti gated by anything but pure motives, even by the very men to whom they were giv ing every assistance. Jn the Legislature they have received no quarters, and be fore the tho three States in which measures are pending to legalize the suspension, clogs have been put on, and others suggested, which, if passed, self-respect would prevent honorable men from accepting. No other alternative being left but resumption or dishonor, tho former lias been chosen, we havo every reason to believe, by the more substantial institutions of our State, and that so soon as they can properly arrange their affairs, a resumption will take place without the requirement of law. This is all wrong. It is too late now, however, to cry over spilt milk. We must all prepare to face the music. Imports at New York. The value of tho foreign imports at Now York, for November, 1857, was leas than that of tho imports for November, 1860, by $1,050,685. The largest por tion of the goods roceived were ware housed, so that little came upon the market. The total value of foreign goods entered for the last month is $13,417,- 960, including $3,027,803 in specie and bullion. Tho foreign imports for the past eleven mouths is $221,421,318, in cluding $12,216,910, in specie and bul lion. The total exports to foreign ports from New York for last month, excluding specie, amounted to $10,065,713 —being $972,868 less than the exports for Novem ber, 1856. Tho total exports for the past eleven months amount to $105,626,87, including $36,825,122 in specie and bul lion. The cash duties received at New Y'ork from January Ist, were as follows : First quarter, $13,406,813,26; second quarter, $5,886,708,05; third quarter, $13,183,832,90; in October, $867,534,- 99, and in November, $1,121,792,70 — showing a total of $34,406,681,90 for tho eleven months of 1857, against $43,137,- 300,43 for tho same mouth of 1856, and $31,402,366,02, for the same months of 1866. From these figures, it will be seen that a considerable deficiency has occur red, which it is thought, will compel j Government to resort to a loan. Not A Pro-Slavery Man. A Washington correspondent of tho Richmond South, thus closes his last let ter: “ An informal but very large delegation of the members of the new Congress crowded the reception room of Mr. Bu chanan to-day to pay their respects to the j venerable President; and conversation: was freely indulged for tho space of nearly an hour. The President appears to be in remarkable health, and he conversed very cheerfully with an occasional mani festation of that genial humor that is the chief charm of his discourse. The State pride of some of tho members was con siderably tickled by the allusions, of the President to their several constituencies, aud he paid an especial compliment to Virginia, which was acknowledged by Mr. Bocock in a style of repartee; Mr. Buchanan, speaking of Virginia as that “fine old State, which was very near right, when her service was needed,” and Mr. Bocock replying that the compliment might have been juster in characterizing the Old Dominion as “right all the time.” Ou somo of the members interposing some depreciations in jest, Mr. Buchuuau re marked with imprestment, “ Gentlemen, have I not reason to be grateful to Vir ginia ?” The State of Alabama was taken to task in some playful remarks, which were concluded with an emphasis of se riousness, when the President declared his devotion to the constitutional rights of the South. “I see,” said the Presi dent to one of the members from Alabama, “ that your people have been passing some temjfic resolutions against me. I suppose they think me down there a great Abolitionist. The New Orleans Delta says lam a {terrible Abolitionist.” (Laughter.) “ Now,” added Mr. Buchanan, becoming serious, “ I cannot say that I am a Pro- Slavery man, but I do say that in con tending for the constitutional rights of the South, I have done more than any other man now living.” Vml ted State* Treasury. Washington, Dec. 11. —The amount of money in the United States Treasury, •übjeot to the drafts of the Secretary of the Treasury, is less than $6,000,000, showing a reduction for the past week of upwards of $600,000. The receipts hare been $550,000. The Financial Crisis In England. The Hartford Times, of Friday, has an | article upon the present financial crisis in England, in which the following allusion is made to the eminent banking firm of George Peabody & Cos., of London ; About two years ago, George Peabody, who had for many years been a banker of ! eminence in London and had made him- ! self very popular by his hospitality, his ; public dinners and his liberality general- j ly, took Mr. Junius Morgan, of this city, j formerly of the firm of llowe, Mather & ! Cos , and more recently of the firm of Beebe, Morgan &. Cos., of Boston, into partnership. In the latter concern, which was then the largest dry goods bouse in the United States with one exception, he realized profits at the rate of $50,000 a year, while he remained connected with it. Into the new London hsuse Mr. Pea body put $6,000,000 and Mr. Morgan about $300,000 of capital, and the latter j became interested to the extent of one- I sixth in the profits or losses of the busi- > ness. It appears that their liabilities are j rated at over $10,600,000 and that their j losses, like those of the Dennistouns, the Browns aud other Anglo-American bank ers, have arisen from the temporary or permanent bankruptcy of largo import ing houses on this side. We learn from a private source that Samuel Lawrence, who lately failed for two millions, pur chased, when in England about three months since, 3100 bales of wool, of the average value of SIOO a bale, or $310,000 in all, wbioli ho paid for in drafts on Geo. Peabody & Cos. Iu 1837 the Bank of England saved the Browns from failing by a timely loan of $5,000,000, and now it appears that they have assisted Peabody in the same way and to a similar extent. But ns a general thing that bank has shut down on all American paper during this crisis, as well as that of 1837. The failure of the great banking house of Sanderson & Sandernan, one of the largest private discount houses in the world, Overend & Gurney, of Lon don, alone being heavier, was caused by their being compelled by the Bank of England to take up $1,.100.000 of the bankrupt acceptances of the Denuistonns. From that time the bank refused all Ame rican paper, aud this doubtless is the rea son why Peabody was obliged to solicit special assistance, and tho fact that he was able to furnish the solid securities which the bank would require in such a case, shows great strength. So great was the distrust of American paper during the height of the panic, that a bill of the Barrings for $150,000 drawn upon and accepted by the Browns, aud endorsed by another large house, was refused dis count, though interest at the rate of 25 per cent, per annum was offered by the holder. Ono of the principal causes of the em barrassment of Peabody & Cos. was the same which had prostrated the great banking house of Sanderson & Sandernan. Peabody & Cos. had obtained discounts from the Bank of England on the drafts and bills of exchange of Dennistouns & Cos. to an amount exceeding $1,000,000. The Dennistouns subsequently failed for nearly $15,000,000, and as the bank rig idly requires all bankrupt paper to be taken up immediately by the parties for whose account it was discounted, Peabody & Cos. were unable to take up and with draw this paper and Lawrence’s, and some other amounts similarly situated, without receiving special assistance from the Bank. A Sad, Sad Story. The Cincinnati Gazette relates tho following incident, which recently occur red at Xenia: . Among the passengers in the train from Cleveland was a young man of per haps twenty, aud a lady somo few years his senior. The geutlemanwas plaiuly clad, but the girl was dressed in the ex treme of fashion and rouged beyond even brazen wantonness. It was frequently observed by the passengers that the young man appeared to be earnestly re monstraiiug with the girl, aud seemed to be deeply affected. At Xenia both left the cars, and it was apparent that the course of each lay iu different directions—the man to this city and the girl to the West. As the cars were about starting the young man kissed her a hasty good bye, and both burst into tears. The conductor seeing tiwt there was some deep grief at heart, invited the gentleman to a seat in the baggage car, as more secluded from the gaze of the crowd. “Anywhere,” said lie, “ only come with me. I must | speak to someone, or mv heart will j break.” After becoming a little calmed, he said: “That lady and myself were raised to gether ; with moss for carpets, acorns for cups and saucers, and pebbles for walks, we played in childhood. She was a few years older than myself, hut we were inseparable. She grew up to womanhood, was married, then separated from her husband, and sought the city and became | a wanton—a heartless, disgraced courte | san. Steeped in sin as she is, shameless as she may be, l could not but kiss her good-bye—for she is my sister! She has already hurried a loving mother to a premature grave, and brought disgrace upon her brothers and sisters. But while she acknowledges it all aud sheds tears of apparent oontrition and regret, no re monstrance can change her course. She has just been home to make us a visit, but has left again for her residence in the city, to drown in the wanton’s life the remembrance of what she might have i been. “Do you blameme then,” turning to the sympathizing conductor, “for weeping as I do over one loved and fallen?” 30,000 Dollars WORTH OF DRY-GOODS AND CLOTHING, •A.X OOST FOR CASH, FOR THE NEXT THIRTY DAYS.
