fOLI MBrS, SATI RDAT, DECEMBER 5, IBM Foreign Banks. % AVe see from the report of proceedings in the Legislature on the Ist inet., that Mr. Milledg of Richmond has introduced a hill in the House of Representatives, to prevent the Banks of other States from carrying on a banking business in this State. We presume this is a blow aimed at the system of foreign Bank Agencies, now tolerated by our laws, with the ultimate purpose of expell ing the hills of such institutions from circulation within the State. Our opinion has on more than one occasion been made know upon this question. We do not regard it a legitimate subject for legis lation. It is based upon the idea that the pros perity of a people is better promoted, when each community, or State, provides its own circulating medium. The idea is almost as common as it is fallacious. How often have we heard men even in country villages, deplore the fact that they, had to depend upon Savannah, Augusta and Char leston for their monetary facilities ? They seem to think that the profits paid to those institutions by their business might all be saved to their re spective communities by cutting off their depend ence upon such resources and necessitating, there by, the establishment of Banks at home. In ref utation of this we have merely to say that all the capital in every community is engaged in some productive employment, that in order to estab lish a Bank, therefore, a portion of the capital so employed must be abstracted from such employ ment. If, in this change from a mercantile, man ufacturing or agricultural to a banking business, a loss is operated to the individuals making the conversion, a loss falls upon the community, pro tanto. If, on the other hand, the change involves again to the individuals, a like result in enjoyed by the community. Now of the precise time when this investment should be made the people arc the best, aud should be, the sole judges, and any inter ference with such matters by restrictive legisla tion, which would prematurely force upon the people the necessity of embarking in banking op erations, would work a manifest injury and injus tice. That the Banks of this Stale cannot legiti- mately furnish a circulation sufficient .l'or its com merce will be attested by any one whejhas an e.r peri mental acquaintance with its commercial oper ations. Notwithstanding the JnisinesSi was divid ed last year between the State and foreign Banks, the former had quite as much as was comfortable. If they had a monopoly of the circulation they • would, of course, endeavor to supply the wants of trade, and, to this ensmiglit be led into excessive issues of their notes. Tor the purpose, therefore, of guarding such a possibility, this bill should not b<*£oirfe a law. But upon what ground in this .discrimination invoked against foreign Banks ?A Are they not solvent ? We know of no bnhkingflnstitutious from other States which do Jbusiness among us but those ot teouth C arolina, and, certainly, the financial history ot that State will compare honorably and favorably with that. of auy other State in the Union. Georgia Banks enjoy a deservedly high reputation, they are a bly, precedents and faithfully managed ; but they arc not pre-eminent in these re spects to the Banks of our sister Com monwealth. The effort to procure the pass age of such a bill is not original with Mr. MU- Jodje-O. At alwnxt ..•*;-. .U'our Legislature for ten years, a similar bill Ims been introduced, and, as often failed. The people whose interests were to be affected by it, and at whose prosperity the thrust is made, hat e always been equal to the exigency, and have shouted remonstrance upon remonstrance against, it. Considering the uniform fate which has befallen every attempt to inaugurate this restrictive, anti— free-trade, unjust policy, we cannot imagine what could have induced Mr. Milledge to espouse it, unless it be that bo is ambitious of the questionable honour of having his name associated with its defeat. The Newspaper. —The Louisville Journal was 28 years old ou Wednesday last, and its edi tor, Mr. Prentice, indites an appropriate leader on “the event,” in the course of which it is well remarked: The history of a newspaper is much of the world’s history. Tho daily paper is the day’s his tory—it clasps the world's daylight. Bound in its daily columns the world, with all its passing events, circles. In it the steamship arrives and unloads her freightage; in it the lightning flash es from thought; in it the city booms, the corn blades glitter, the wheat rustles its golden heads, the cattle low from a thousand hills, and the mar ket bums; in it the poet sings, and with his song the low wind comes fresh and sweet over old mead ows, aud happy faces gleam from forgotten doors. Yes, the world turns every day in tho daily news paper. Its columns are freighted with the world’s merchandize. Through their avenues ring mer rily the marrige bells, and through them the hear ses moves aud funeral knells are tolled. Such must every daily paper be ; such the Journal has been. COMMUNICATED. Messrs. Editors : I would respectfully call tho attention of the public, especially the mem bers of tho present Legislature, to the wrongs arising from the too frequent relief given by the Legislature to securities upon forfeited criminal bonds. I allude especially to the wrongs imposed upon the officers of the Supreme Courts of our State. The law requires said officers to render their ser vices in all State cases, and provides that they shall receive their fees for said services when the act falls upon the State or where the defendant is insolvent, out of such fines as may be imposed by the Court, aud the forfeited criminal bonds, and in no other way. In some, probably many counties in the State, such fines and forfeitures do not amount to more than enough to pay said fees if they were all collected. And it is for the wrongs done the officers of such counties that I complain of the general habit of securities upon forfeited bonds being released from their payment by the Legislature. I know that in such cases, respecta ble petitions are generally gotten up, but you will readily see that the petitioners are not interested. A man of a little influence can soon gather B.ny quantity of names to a paper that does not appear in the least to effect the interest of the signers; and upon the strength of such a petition in many instances, the money that has been earned and that really belongs to the officers, and taken from them and given to the petitioners. I would there fore, respectfully suggest, that the Legislature make some provision by which the our Court may be compensated for their services ren dercd # to the State in criminal cases, or that they cease giving to securities upon forfeited criminal bonds that which justly belongs to said officers. The great wrong imposed upon the public by thus opening wide the door lor the escape of criminals is too glariif|: to admit of discussion. AN EX. OFFICER. Tlie Main hrunk—lts Objects and Location. Messrs. Editors: The editor of a paper, yclept the Bain bridge Argus (albeit its hundred eyes are purblind) in a silly article condemns the effort now making in the Georgia Legislature to locate by legislative action the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad as the attempt of interested parties. If the above mentioned statesman will explain the amount of interest he has in the location hereto fore marked out by the Directors of the Company, perhaps it may after all amount only to the old story of the skillet preaching to the pot. This explanation, however, he has not chosen to give. But those who have been familiar with that paper since the inception of the Hoad will need no expla nation from its editor. They will recollect the song it has sung—the “harp of a thousand strings” on which it has played. For the benefit of those who do not recollect, I will give a sy nopsis of that “same old tune.” It is in this wise: “Ding dong, Main Trunk,” “ding a ling, Main Trunk,” “ding a ling doug, Main Trunk,” “hi doodle de day, Main Trunk,” “fol de rol, Main Trunk,” Bainbridge, Main Trunk,” Deca tur county, Main Trunk,” “our town? Main Trunk,” <fcc., Ac. Now we dismiss the considera tion of the question of his interest in the matter, by reminding him of the necessity of taking the timber out of the hundred eyes of his Argus, be fore he attempts the delicate task of extracting the mote from legislative optics. Verbum aapienti bus sat .” I don’t wish to cast an unjust insinua tion on any one—but I am inclined to the opin ion—and I thought so at the time — that the Ar gus was gotten up for the express purpose of advo cating the claims of Bainbridge to the location of the Road. That paper was commenced in April after the session at which the Main Trunk was chartered—and in its first number adopted the measure as one of the main planks of its plat form. I might say the only plank—for if it has been consistent in any other one thing I am not aware of it. This sapient sheet (over the left) was the first to broach the idea, and I hazard nothing in saying that I do not suppose there were a doz en members in the Legislature at the session at which the bill was passed that ever thought of the Road taking the downward tendency that inter ested parties have given it. The charter (Acts of 1855-56, page 158,) locates the initial point ofthe Road at or as near as might be to the intersection of the lines of Appling, Ware and Wayne counties and defines its course till it shall reach the vicinity of Waresboro, and directs that it shall run thence by the most practicable route, to the western boundary of the State of Georgia at any point be tween Fort Gaines in the county of Clay aud the junction of the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers in the county of Decatur; said Western terminus to be selected by the Directors after an accurate survey aud estimates of cost shall have been made, and with a distinct reference to a speedy connection with the Gulf of Mexico at Mobile or Pensacola. Now these are the definitive limits of the route as marked out by the Legislature. Wo ask have the Directors complied with the directions and limita tions thus contained in the grant as above referred to ? We answer, they have not. And in order to determine the matter, let us examine minutely the wording of the limitations contained in said grant, and which of course must be strictly followed to entitle the company to the aid and eo-operation elsewhere in the charter guaranteed to them on their complying with the conditions annexed to the same. We will give the pith of the limitation in our own words. The road is to run from the initial point by the most practicable route to any point on the Western boundary of Georgia, between the two extreme points, (Fort Gaines aud the juuctiau of Flint aud Chattahoochee) which will afford the speediest connection with Mobile or Pensacola, (by way of Railway.) Now we ask, have the Directors clone this ? They have not, So far from having done it, they have not located the Western terminus at all? But did the Legislature contemplate that they should do it before any of the road was built. Most assuredly it did. Why ? Simply because it prescribed that they should locate the road, on tli most uiusiratc, suppose I tell my servant to build a fence by the most practicable route to a point to be selected by him, within certain limitations, with a view to certain ulterior objects made known to him, would he not have to select his terminal point before he could determine the most practicable route there to ? Could he select the most practicable route to an unknown and undetermined destination Now the terminal point of the Main Trunk Road is not yet selected, and yet the company are pretending to be building by the| most practicable route. Surely the Argus (despite its vaunted name) is a “blind leader of the blind.” But suppose that the terminal point route, known, or at least pretty well settled on, is the road now building by the most practicable route ? We trow not. What did the Legislature mean by the term “ most prac ticable route ?” They explain themselves by saying, immedi ately afterwards, that the location” of the entire line, terminus and all, shall be located “after an accurate survey aud estimates of cost shall have been made.” This explains all. It is simply a question of cost and distance. All the company can do is to determine the cheapest and shortest route to such point on the Chattahoochee as will afford the speediest connection with Mobile or Pensacola. Now, ask what point will afford this connection ? In the first place, it must be above the line of Florida—because Florida has by Legislation, inhibited the connection of her roads with those of Georgia. But passing by this for the present. The shortest route from Waresboro to Mobile, without reference to any road as yet projected or chartered by Alabama, with a view to connection with ours, would cross the Chattahoochee river at or near Columbia, and would pass through the counties of Ware, Coffee, Berrien, Colquitt, Mitchell, Baker and Early, be fore reaching tho terminal point. Now, we* ask, is there any road chartered or projected from Mo bile to Columbia on the Chattahoochee, which will afford the speedy connection mentioned in the charter, as the main element in determining the question of the location of the terminus? We answer, there is a road chartered by the State of Alabama, from Mobile to Freeman’s landing, about two miles above Columbia, which has already been located and surveyed, and to whieh the Uni ted States government has donated four hundred and fifty thousand acres of land in alternate sec tions along the line. Then there can be no doubt that the above mentioned terminus must, by the provisions of the charter of the Main Trunk, be the western terminus of that road. Then, we ask, if said point be tho proper terminus of the Main Trunk, have the company chosen th e shortest and cheapest route to it ? They have done just no such thing. But we shall *be told that the road must like all other roads, be located so as to get the greatest amount of private subscription ? We auswer, that if the legislature had so intended, they would have left it to follow the known laws of commerce and trade, but that in giving their aid to it, they have recognized and provided for the paucity of private subscription consequent upon the directness of its course, and its non subserviency to private and particular interests, owing to the great ulterior object to be obtained, to-wit: the connection of Savannah and Mobile by the shortest and consequently the cheapest j route. Ihen if the road is not being built by the shortest and cheapest route to most eligible ter minus—the provisions of the charter have not i been complied with—consequently no rights have j vested under it, it is as yet a nudum pactum, a caput mortuum in legislation, and the State is not [ bound by any rule of reason or justice to pay its j subscription, and ought not to do it. Then, let a j quietus be put to tho bugbear of ‘•vested rights” in j this case. Let the overweening cupidity of the interested parties who have diverted this great State Institution from its legitimate objects to suit their own private interests, receive its appropriate rebuke, and then in all probability the above named parties may learn by sad experience the wisdom of Shakspeare’s apothegm, that “Vaulting ambition overleaps itself and falls on tho other •We.” GEORGIAN. What Cotton Is doing for Is. Many reliable estimates, set down the cotton j crop ofthe United States this year at the high fig- | ure of .‘>.500.000 bales. It is coming to market much earlier than usual. The receipts at South ern ports are 550,000 bales, (iu round numbers) in advance of the receipts of last and other average years to the same date. So large have been the arrivals at Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, that specie has been shipped from New York to the South to buy bills on England more cheaply’ than they can be had here. The price is satisfactory, And, considering the con dition of Europe ; peaee everywhere: prosperity in Germany, Ireland, Spain, and other countries whieh have often lately- been in the deepest dis tress ; a large accumulations of money’ at the financial centres; a fair prospect that new mar kets for European manufactures will be opened in China, Japan, British Columbia, and elsewhere: there is no reason to expect that the price will decline. In an article published some months back in this journal, we showed that iu that most active commercial year the United States’ ever knew, 1856, the cotton of the South was our chief stand by and set off against the enormous consumption of foreign goods in the great cities and through out the county. But for the copious supply of cotton, and high price it commanded, the United States, would have incurred a debt to the foreign world which it would have taken years to dis charge. It seems now that the cotton crop is going to be the means of setting the trade of the country on its legs again. Our other great staple—bread stuffs—is in an unpromising condition. Excellent harvests have been the rule throughout Europe, and the price of all kinds of breadstuff's rules so low that it is estimated that a loss of at least a million of dollars has been incurred by tlie par ties who sent breadstuff’s to New York this fall. At present rates, and they are likely to be un changed for some months, flour and wheat cannot be sent abroad and sold so as to repay the produ cer in the West. Our cotton on the contrary, if the crop fulfils present expectations, will not only nobly reward the planter, but will go a long way toward liqui dating the debt wo are incurring to Europe for drygoods and for; ; 0 n manufactures. More than this: the early receipts at the Southern ports, by suggesting shipments of specie from New York, have given trade the first wholesome impe tus it ha,s ha l since the revulsion. The four or five million .>f specie we have sent to the South were worse than useless in our bank vaults here. In the South they-will be eminently’ useful. They r will generate and feed traffic throughout the Southern country. And coming back to us, as they will by various channels through the South and West, they’ will, on their journey, serve use fully’ to restore credit and foster wholesome com mercial enterprise. The revival of trade will hereafter be dated from the early’ fall receipts of cotton from the South, and the movements in specie which they occasioned.— Harpers. Judge Edmonds on Spiritualism and the At lantic Cable. —The scientific electricians at Va lentia Bay and Trinity Bay having failed thus far, to make the Atlantic Cable a speaking medi um, we are glad to see that the spiritualist have taken the matter in hand. In the late remarkable discourse by Judge Edmonds on the mysteries and miracles of spiritualism, lie says that “in regard to the Atlantic telegraph, the spirits had revealed that the interruption in its working was caused by a prevalence of mineral influences at the other end. Further, says the Judge, “we all know that there is a grea t quantity of mineral matter at the other end, and that the interruption is supposed to be on the other side, which tends to confirm the revela tions ofthe spirits.” But, alas! to cap the climax, the learned Judge in spiritual affairs confesses that “further than this we do not know.” And why’ not ? Why can’t a spirit be called in to do something useful for once, and for once to tell us something of truth that is not already known ? What a public benefactor, for example, Judge Ed monds would become in producing from “the spirits” the precise locality’ ofthe difficulty in the cable, the precise character of the difficulty, and the modus operandi for reaching it aud applying the remedy; and what a benefactor to De Sauty. Let the Judge put his spirits to work accordingly, upon a test of this sort, and give us the results in advance of the next steamers news from the Irish coast. This old habit of the spirits, of giving tfs their spiritual knowledge of things after we have imd , ay <>r a weeK or two, by’ our ordi nary channels of communication, is not a whit better than Professor Merriam’s predictions of a storm after the storm has passed by.—A r . Y. Her ald. The American Consul at Bremen, received from the United presented to the party’ for whom it was intended, a handsome silver speak ing trumpet, bearing the following inscription: “The President of the United States to Captain Wilmsen of the Bremen bark Laura, for his hu mane, zealous and successful efforts in rescuing one of the passengers and two of the crew of the steamer Central America from the perils of the sea, 1858.” Noble Thoughts. —l never found pride in a noble nature nor humility in an unworthy mind. Of all trees, I observe that God hath chosen the vine—a low plant that creeps upon the helpful wall; of all beasts, the soft and patient lamb ; of all fowls, the mild and guileless dove. When God appeared to Moses it was not in the lofty cedar, nor the spreading palm, but a bush, a humble, ab ject bush. As if he would by’ these selections check the conceited arrogance of man. Nothing produeeth love like humility'; nothing hate, like pride. funeral car of Napoleon I. arrived on Friday morning, Nov., sth, in Paris. Gen. Sir J. Burgoyne, charged by the Queen of England to proceed with it to the Invalides and deliver it up formally, General Count d’Ornano, the Governor, and his staff, descended into the court-yard to meet Marshal Yaillant, Minister of War. In a lew minutes alter the English General and Prince Napoleon, who had come from Compiegne ex expresslv for the oceassion, arrived, aud the cere mony of reception took place in front of the church, where the car had been placed. The car is to be placed in the Chapel St. Jerome, by the side of the mortal remains of tlie great man which had been conveyed on it to the tomb. In a jolly company, each one was to ask a question. If it was answered, the proposer paid a forfeit, or if he could not answer it himself, j he paid a forfeit. Pat’s question was : “How does the little ground squirrel dig his I hole without showing any dirt about the en- ! trance ?” When they’ all gave it up Pat said : “Sure, do you see he begins at the other end of the hole ?” One of the rest exclaimed : “Bur. how did he get there ?” “Ah.” said Pat, “that’s your question, can you \ answer it yourself ?” j if there are not some people in the world that do actually reason after the cool man ner of the philosopher who gives this sage advice to his friend ? Just as likely as not. We know some citizens who act according to such advice, ‘any wav’: ‘The duties of life are two-fohl: our duty to ourselves is to make ourselves as comfor table as possible: our duty to others is to make them assist us to the best of their ability, in so doing. This is the plan on which all respectable persons act. Adhere strictly to truth—whenever there is no occasion for lying. Be particularly careful to conceal no one circumstance likely to redound to your credit. If it be for your interest to lie, do so and do it boldly. No one would wear false hair wh# had hair of his own, but he who has none, must of course wear a wig. A wig, you see, my young friend, is simply a lie with hair on it. I don’t see any difference between false hair and a false assertion. In fact, I think a lie a very useful invention. It is like a coat or a pair of breeches : it serves to clothe the naked. But do n’t throw your falsifications away. I like a proper economy. Some silly persons would have you invariably speak the truth. Now if you were to act in this way, in what department of commerce could you succeed? How would you get on iu the law, for instance ? What vagabond would ever employ you to defend his cause ? What X • tdk imi m ’ ——— 1 ■* “ 1 — practice do you think you’d be likely to procure as a physician, if you were to tell every old woman who fancied herself ill that there was nothing the matter with her? Never break a promise unless bound to do so by a previous one : and promise yourself, from this time forth, never to do any thing that will put you to inconvenience. Be firm, but not obstinate. Never change your mind when the result of the alteration would be detrimental to your comfort and interests ; but do not main tain an inconvenient inflexibility of purpose. Do not, for example, in affairs ofthe heart, simply because you have declared, perhaps with an oath or two, that you will be constant till death, think it necessary to make any effort to remain ease stands thus : You enter into an engagement with a being whose aggregate of perfectUms pressible, we will sav, by 20.

But suppose that they dwindle to 10 ha- the person, that is, the whole sum of the qualities admired no longer ex ists, and you. of course, are absolved from your engagement. But mind, Ido not say that you are justified in changing only in case of a change on the opposite side: you may very possibly be come simply tired.
