Foreign Bank Agencies.
The Editor of the Columbus Times, in his issue
of the 27th instant, has fallen into a common error.
He regards the money, that is, the bank notes
brought into the State by the agents of the South
Carolina Banks, as so much capital added to that
in the State. Now, they do not add one dollar of
capital—-if they did they would abstract it from
the vaults of the Carolina banks. What they
bring is simply credit, and a credit not half so
good as that of our own banks—all of which ap
peared from the comparative statement published
last October at the time of suspension.
When a Carolina Agent buys cotton of a Geor
gia farmer, he pays in promises to pay, i. e. the
notes or the credit of a Carolina bank. That is
just what he trades on, but he receives in return,
cotton, which is as much cash as golden ingots,
since the hank drawing against the cotton when
shipped, receives for the same gold or silver, and
a premium on its sterling exchange into the bar
gain. When, however, citizens of Georgia unite
and pay in various values, constituting the capi
tal stock of a bank, that is capital, and it is capi
tal at home, and the issues of bank notes based
upon it can be redeemed for gold and silver with
out goiug or sending into a neighboring State. —
The history and exhibit of the Newberry, the
People’s, South Western Ilailroad, and other
hanks of South Carolina, show conclusively, that
in the late crisis, the people of Georgia were
much nearer suffering heavy losses by trusting
outside banks, than they ever imagined.—Corres
pondent Georgia Telegraph.
The writer of the above paragraphs takes ex”
ception to our terminology, and, so far as we can
perceive, to that only. In commenting upon the
recommendation to our Legislature, by the Comp
troller General, Mr. Tlnveatt, to amend the tax
laws of the State in relation to Foreign Bank
Agencies, we employed the term, used by that
functionary, of ‘‘foreign Bank Capital.” This
expression has been made the subject of a criti
cism in which we are informed that Bank notes
are not capital, and that money (specie) is. Strict
ly and technically speaking we were wrong, and
so is our critic. In a politico-economical sense,
money, whether metalic or paper, is not capital.
It is merely an instrument for facilitating ex
changes—of obviating the difficulty of effecting
exchange in kind, or commodity for commodity.
The phrase, however, is accepted in mercantile
parlance, and in that way we adopted it. But,
perhaps, we are doing injustice to the Telegraph’s
correspondent to supposo that he would have writ
ten a half column merely to convict us of error in
phraseology. In our previous article, to which he
made reference, we expressed our disapproval of
the policy of Legislative discrimination against
foreign banks, and thought that equal taxation,
or free trade was the correct principle. Express
ions in the article from which we v~ • - made the
above extract, hint that this opinion is not
entertained M *be writer. Being unable to im
pute any solid objection that can be urged against
the principle we have espoused, we shall withhold
our defence until an attack is made. We will not
allow the thought, that there can bo found a man
who would support the policy of discrimination,
unless upon a more intelligent and reasonable ba
sis, than the relation of the subject to an imagina
ry line.
The writer, above says: “ When a Carolina
agent buys cotton of a Georgia farmer, he pays in
promises to pay. i. c. the notes or the credit of a
Carolina bank.” That is all very plain, and it is
exactly what the Georgia agent does, except that
he pays the farmer with “ the notes or the credit”
of a Georgia bank. Now why docs the farmer
take the notes in either ease ? Obviously and
simply because he prefers the notes to the cotton ;
and if the exehage serves lti3 convenience, surely
we outsiders should not quarrel about it. If he
wants the specie for the notes of either, he is, gen
erally, obliged to go to the bank whence they were
issued or pay a small premium for it. To a Geor
gian, the mother bank in this State may be ad
mitted to be a little nearer to him than that in Car
olina, but this difference is too trifling to be seri
ously thought of. The writer also makes a com
parison of the Carolina and Georgia banks, not
very flattering to the former, and tells us that, in
the late crisis, we were much nearer suffering heavy
losses from trusting Carolina currency than we
ever imagined. We should feel obliged to him for
not revealing to us the danger till it has past,
since it would have produced a great deal of un
necessary alarm. He may be right, however, in
the assertion, but what guaranty have we that in
the next revulsion the tables will not be turned.
Besides, in what way is it to be imagined that the
policy of discrimination will avoid such a result ?
Or is it contended that a doubtful should be taxed
higher that a solvent institution ? Let us have a.
reason!
Women Natural Orators.
This passage occurs in a work recently publish
ed abroad on the “Art of Public Speaking
Women naturally speak better than men. They
express themselves more easily, more vividly, and
with more arch simplicity, because they feel rapid
ly, more delicately. Hence the loquacity with which
they are reproached, and which is an effect of their
constitution and temperament. Hence there are
so many women who write in an admirable and
remarkable manner, although they have stud
ied neither rhetoric nor logic, and even without
knowing grammar or orthography. They write as
they speak; and they speak pretty much as the
birds sing, and their language has the same
charm. Add to this the sweetness of their organ,
the flexibility of their voice, and the variety of
their intonations, according to the feeling which
animates them; the nobility of their physiogno
my, which greatly increases the effect of words, the
picturesqueness of their gestures ; in short, the
gracefulness of their whole exterior ; thus, al
though not destined for orators by their sex or so
cial position, they have all the power of tho ora
tor, and all his success in their sphere, and in the
circle of their activity ; for none better know how
to touch, persuade and influenco, which, I think,
is tho end and the perfection of eloquencc. ,,
Pensacola News.
The Pensacola Gazette says that Major Chase,
President of the Pensacola Railroad, has made en
gagements for the purchase of sufficient iron upon
very satisfactory terms, provided tho city of Pen
sacola will issue her bonds to the amount of $130,-
000—the said bonds to be endorsed by the Rail
road company and used in the purchase of the
iron. A number of citizens have already signed
a petition to the city authorities, requesting them
to issue the bonds immediately. The Gazette
think* that the road will be completed from Pen
sacolA to the 3tat* lino in the course of six or eight
months. There Is an ttgly gap of seventy-fife
miles between the State line and Greenville, for
which we do not see that any provision has been
made, but the friends of the road are sanguine in !
their belief of its early completion, all the way
from Pensacola to Montgomery.
The Gazette takes ground against the movement
for the annexation of West Florida to Alabama, !
characterizes it as “sinister,” and “absurd.” and !
thinks that no citizen of Florida with any State
pride will countenance it.

! November, sth 1858. j
Dear Times :—I avail myself of a leisure mo
ment to say a word for you of things over this
way. Your sister city is full of life, to the over
flowing, with strangers awaiting the abatement of
the Fever in Mobile and New Orleans, with vlst
tors in attendance -you the State fair, with cot
ton waggons, hacks, carriages and vehicles of all
kinds, with city swells, and country boors, with
beautiful women and sturdy men. The occasion
of greatest interest to our State folks just now is
tho Annual State Fair, which has been in progress
all this week. I have taken several looks at the
exhibition with much gratification, and am glad to
say that tho most sanguine of its friends have been
more than satisfied with the result. Tho stock is un
usually fine. More noble horses are here on exhib
ition than ever have been before. The cattle arc
very much improved, quite a number of useful in
ventions and discoveries in the mechanical and
scientific departments evince a lively interest in
this direction. Georgia industry is woll repre
sented also. Upon the whole the success must
certainly be the most cheering to the managers of
the Fair. I cannot in this passing notice particu
larize, nor is it necessary. East Alabama, however,
over a large portion of which your Journal ex
tensively circulates, has a large list of contributor
The Tuskegee Methodist Female College had a
most beautiful exhibition of paintings, drawings
and designs. Some designs of wall-paper, carpet
ing, dress patterns &c.. show an entirely new and
distinct feature in the organization of this excellent
Institution, and should be so encouraged as to in
duce further energy in that direction.
Anew chemical disinfectant of Prof. Darby’s
took a premium, and had a most thorough report
from a committee of scientific gentlemen. Mr.
Ferrell, of Chambers, exhibited a full blooded
Morgan Stallion, which came so near getting the
first premium that the committee could not help
but make most honorable and hearty mention of
ifc. Mrs. Flournoy, of Macon, took a premium on
a quilt. Mrs. Sayre, of Tuskegee, one on a bead
ed fruit stand. A lady from Barbour, one for hair
embroidery and leather work, and several others
too numerous to mention.
The tournaments were admirably performed.—
This feature attracted much attention from all. I
must refer you, however, to the papers for more
particular accounts of them.
The election of officers of the Society on Thurs
day night, resulted in the re-elioosing of all the old
officers, who were living or residing in the State, a
result most indicative of their harmonious action
and confidence in their abilities.
Col. Isaac Crom, of Greene county, President.
Dr. N. B. Cloud, of Montgomery, Secretary.
Col. Chas. T. Pollard, of Montgomery. Treasu
rer, with an Executive Committee, and one Vice-
President from each county in the State.
The Prizes were distributed Friday at 12 o'clock,
in the presence of an immense concurse, at the
Amphitheatre, and although everybody did not
get one, there was general satisfaction given.
But I will not weary you.
As ever. * PEN DRIVER.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says, that Judge
Magrath, of the United States Court, in Charles
on, recently decided that theliabilty of a steamboat
company on freight does not stop when the goods
on freight are landed on a wharf. The shipper is
compelled to see that the produce is delivered to
the consignee or his order. In case the shipper
cannot find or deliver the goods to the consignee,
it is his business to have the goods sent to a ware
house or placed in responsible hands subject to
the order of the owner or consignee.
Tho yellow fever is on the decrease at Gal
veston. On the 25th ult. there were two deaths
from this disease, and on the 27th the same num
ber. At Houston the yellow fever deaths for the
week ending 26th ult., were twenty-five; on the
25th there were four deaths, and on the 2-lth two.
The whole number of cases in the city at last dates
was sixty-five.
Imports of Dry Goods at New’ York. —The
Journal of Commerce states that the total imports
of dry goods at New York for October is $565,722
greater than for the corresponding period of last
year, and only $lBO,Bll lees than for October, 1856
The imports thrdWn upon the market, including
those withdrawn from warehouse, exceeded the to
tal of last year, in a proportion still greater than
the direct receipts.
A Caution. —The State Department having
reason to suppose that irresponsible persons in
England have induced parties in this country to
forward remittances thither for the recovery of
estates to which they are led to believe them
selves entitled, cautions persons to whom such
representations may be addressed to satisfy them
selves of their correspondents before they forward
money or otherwise commit their interests to
them.
The Sugar and Cotton Crops in Rapides.
The Alexandria Democrat, of the 27th ult., says:
“The sugar made in this parish is unusually fine.
Owing to the continued dry weather the cane is
very ripe, and consequently yields a beautiful
quality, but less in quantity. Some, however,
will average a hogshead and a half to the acre,
while others less than a hogshead. By far the
largest portion of the cotton is gathered. Avery
general and heavy rain fell on Sabbath morning,
and again last night.”
Hon. W. M. Slaughter, of Dougherty—Remarks.
Remarks upon the Resolution of Mr. Briscoe,
expressing it as the opinion of the Senate that a
new organization was necessary, before proceed
ing to business at the present session.
Mr. Slaughter said : The question presented by
this Resolution underwent considerable, discussion
in the Senate at the last session. There were two
points connected with the subject, and growing 6ut
of the amended constitution upon which a differ
ence of opinion was expressed by members of the
Senate. First, whether the Legislature elected in
1857, could hold the first regular annual session
under the amended Constitution ? and in the se
cond place, whether anew organization would be
come necessary before proceeding to business ?
Since the adjournment, the Governor, with a view
to his own guidance, has submitted these questions
to the Judges of the Supreme Court, who, respond
ing to the request, have given their opinion ad
verse to the position maintained, and sought to be
made a precedent by this resolution. They decide
that we assemble under the organization of 1857.
The Governor has acted upon the advice thus giv
en, and it remains for the Senate to say whether
they will disregard it, and set up its own judgment
in opposition to that of the Supreme Court.
This opinion, it is true, has not the authority
of a judicial decision; it does not profess to be an
adjudication, it is merely advisory, but emanating
from the highest appellate tribunal in the State,
upon an important question of constitutional
law, eminently a judicial question. I submit that
it is entitled to great weight, and should be acqui
esced in by the other department of the Govern
ment.
But really, the question, aside from the author
ity of the Judges of the Supreme Court, presents
no difficulties for solution. What is the reason
assigned in this resolution for anew organization?
Simply that the present is w new and distinct ses
sion ; and not o. continuation of the last session of
the Legislature. The conclusion is clearly a non
sequitur. It certainly cannot be argued with an}’
show of reason, and in the face of express provis
ions of the Constitution, that upon the final ad
journment of the Legislature at its last session, its
organization was dissolved, so as to require anew
election of officers at a subsequent extra or regu
lar session of the same body. The Constitution
contemplates the continued existence and oflicial
capacity of at least one of the officers necessary
to the organization of this branch of the G eneral
Assembly. I refer to that clause of the Constitu
tion which, in certain contingencies, provides for
the exercise of Executive functions by the Presi
dent of the Senate. It follows from this that the
adjournment of the Legislature does not work its
dissolution as an organized body for the transac
tion of business. But if the sine die adjournment
did not produce this effect, what has transpired
since to require anew organization ? Nothing of
the kind is pretonded.
The only clause in the Constitution upon the
subject is the simple provision that the Senate
shall elect its own officers. This power was exer
cised at the last session ; we elected our officers,
and they hold ky n Kuuiu CI'CAIOnSIVG Willi til a l
of the Senate. The amended Constitution did not
terminate our existence as a Senate, neither docs
it close the official term of the officers necessary to
organization.
These are my views, and in accordance with
them I should have raised a question of order up
on a motion to go into an election. The President
of the Senate, prompted by sentiments of delicacy
whieh every Senator must appreciate, has resign
ed his position, and thus imposed upon us the ne
cessity of filling the vacancy, which has been done
by his re-election. Further than this, we ought
not to go : we should not establish the precedent
sought by this resolution, and I trust it will not
receive the sanction of the Senate.
National anti States Rights Democracy.
Words are things, and the most important things
—since by words all principles are defined, and
all events are directed and governed. For ideas
rule the world. What, then, are National and
States Rights democracy? According to Senator
Hammond’s exposition of the meaning of these
words, everybody in the South ought to be a Na
tional democrat, since all must surely esteem and
sympathize with those in the North who uphold
the great principles of tho constitution by which
the rights of the South are guaranteed. We,
therefore, beg leave to lay before our readers our
conception of the meaning of these W'>rds.
■ffhc distinction between National and State
Rights democrats arose out of the Mexican war,
and the territory acquired by that war. When
the war commenced there were but two great par
ties in the country —the democratic and the whig
parties. The abolitionists were a mere faction.—
As soon as the war closed (and indeed at its com
mencement.) a schism in the democratic party
took place as to the territories which it was antic
ipated, would be acquired. The freesoil party,
headed by Wilmot in Pennsylvania, and Martin
Van Buren in New York, insisted on it, that sla
very should, by act of Congress, be excluded from
all the territories acquired by the war. This par
ty mastered all the legislatures of the North, and
passed resolutions supporting this policy. They
contended that Congress was omnipotent—was
sovereign in our territories. The Southern states
men took the State Rights view of this question.
They contended that the territories belonged to
the States, that the States wero sovereign over
them, and that Congress was only the agent of
the States, to protect the equal rights of all the sov
ereign States in our territories. Here began the
distinction between National and Sjtnte Plights
democracy. The distinction was pushed still fur
ther, when the question of secession by the South
ern States arose, in consequence of the ejection by
Congress of the South from our territory in Cali
fornia. The same line of argument which denied
the rights of the States in our territories, denied
them also in the States. The National democrats
of the South—Mr. Cobb in Georgia, Mr. Foote in
Mississippi—and others, contended that the gov
ernment of the United States was national and
sovereign, and that the States were subordinate,
and had no right to secede from the Union. The
State Rights democrats, on the contrary, contend
ed that the States alone were supremo and sove
reign in the Union, and that the General Govern
ment was the mere creature and agent of the States;
and consequently that each State, as a party to the
constitutional compact, had a right to judge of its
infractions, and secede from the Union. The ma
jority of the democratic party in Mississippi,
Georgia, and other States, wei-e State Rights
democrats or secessionists; but they were defeat
ed by the conjunction of the National democrats
and whigs, who formed a sort of Union party for
the purpose. After the secession controversy was
ended, there was a still further development of the
terms National and State Rights democrats peculiar
to South Carolina, between those who favored and
those who opposed tho State going into national
conventions to nominate candidates for President
and Vice President of the United States. South
Carolina had ever refused to go into such conven
tions, on the high ground that they have the ef
fect. first , to lower the States by defeating their
separate and independent action, in selecting the
executive officers of the Union as the constitution
contemplates; an d second, that they defeat one of
the express compromises in the constitution be
tween the larger and smaller States, by which ah
the States (if the electoral colleges fail to elect
the Presideut) vote as equals in the House of Rep
resentatives in electing the Presideut.
Such arc the principles, as wo understand them,
which distinguish National from State Rights
democrats : and they are supposed to lead to a
’ very different policy as regards the Union. As
the term implies, Xational democrats aie sup
posed to have national party affinities or national
sympathies and feelings inconsistent with the
rights or safety of the South. State Rights dem
ocrats. on the contrary are supposed too to look
much to disunion. 4V e think, however, that the
above contains a fair statement of the origin
and meaning of National and State Rights demo
crats.
Far ourselves, we intend to embrace nationality
neither in fact nor in name. We are of the old
State Rights school of politics, and when acting
with the democratic party, we are State Rights
democrats. — Charleston Mercury.

officers. The delegation which proceeded to Bran
denburg, on the ferry boat, had an interview with
the citizens of that place, and returned home yes

Brandenburg were laboring under no undue ex

Manifesto of Nicaragua against FlUibusters.
Senor A. ,T. De Yrissari, now residing at Brook

have been adopted by the Government of Nicara
gua for keeping out filibusters who may attempt
to enter the country in the disguise of colonists.—
No one, whatever may he his nationality, will be
allowed to enter or land without exhibiting his
passport. If from any Spanish American State,
his passport must he signed by a Secretary of For
eign Relations. Iffrom the United States, it must
be signed by the Nicaragua Minister, Charge, or
Consul-General. All who attempt to enter with
out the prescribed authentication, will be treated
as suspected persons. Neither emigrants, colo
nists, nor through passengers will be allowed to
enter at any other places than San Juan del Norte
and San Juan del Sur. All vessels arriving are
to be visited by an officer charged with the duty
of enforcing the regulations.
Chess Matters. —Morphy is expected home
before the close of the present year, and it is un
derstood that the chess players of New York and
Brooklyn intend to give him an appropriate recep
tion. What its nature will be has not yet trans
pired. Recent advices from Paris state that the
Emperor Napoleon has requested Morphy to give
a specimen of his blindfold playing at the Tuille
ries, before the ladies of the Imperial Court, and
J <*-- A *•---• - -wt Trj tllU
young American at the odus of a rook. There is
now reason to believe that before leaving Paris,
Morphy will have a chance to contend with Herr
Von der Lasa. the great chess analyst and player,
who has recently left Rio Janeiro, where he has
acted as Ambassador from one of the German
courts for some years past. The meeting of these
two chess masters will excite great interest among
the lovers of this beautiful game.
Beautiful Extract. —A delicate child, pale
and prematurely wise, was complaining, on a hot
morning, that the poor dew-drops had been too
hastily snatched away, and not allowed to glitter
on the flowers, like other happier dew-drops, that
live the whole of the day through, and sparkle in
the moon light, and through the morning, on
wards to noon day. “ The sun,” said the child,
“has chased them away in his heat, or swallowed
them up in his wrath.” Soon after came rain,
and a rain-bow ; whereupon his father pointed up
wards, “ Sec,” said be, “ there stands thy dew
drops gloriously reset, a glittering jewelry in the
Heavens ; the clownish foot tramples on them no
more. By this, my child, thou art, taught, that
what withers on the earth blossoms again in hea
ven.” Thus the father spoke, and knew not that
he spoke prefiguring words; soon after the deli
cate child, with the morning brightness of his ear
ly wisdom, was inhaled, like a dew-drop, into hea
ven !

PICTURE GALLERY IN FULL BLAST.
THE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co
lumbus, and in fact to al J Georgia, that he is now
j taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
! m the “Empire State,” either by a foreign or native ar
tist. Ilis prices range from that much despised sum—
fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United
Slat es, yet lie fears not the result of a comparison with
those whose reputation is bolstered up bv long adver
tisements and puff's of their own manufacture. He
prefers that jladies |f and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the viuuiis operands of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair and .impartial „trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
liis Gallery is over Barnard’s (Store, Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at all times.
