Railroad from Atlanta to Ohataeooga. Th* firjwtfi-
eon contend* that Bannnah nu Intereated In tho lm-
prorement of tho State road, and oonaequeutly any
one irbo toted aualnat appropriating public money
(br that purpose, did 10 through etnnlty to Savannah I
yfu then ever more rldlouloua reasoning than this ?
Ia ahj thing more admirably calculated to bring
rldioule upon Savannah * than a charge made by one
ol her leading Journals, that a member ol the Legis
lature who Uvea (by the usually travelled route) near
ly tour hundred mllea from ue, In toting upon an ap
propriation to a road scarcely less remote, was actua
ted by hostlly to Savannah I Is Savannah tho State
of Georgia t Is It not preposterous to say that a
voto upon ft measure In which she was not named,
and In whleb she was certainly far leas Interested
than many other portions of Georgia, was given
through hostility to her? Why not say that It was
through enmity to Augusta or Charleston that Se
ward opposed this Immense expenditure ? Both
those cities are as much interested in the condition of
the State road as this. Such reasoning is calculated
to do Savannah a much greater Injury than Col. Se
ward.
Take a parallel case—Tho Republican has proclaim
ed the deep interest which Savannah feels in the com
pletion of the Girard and Mobilo road. Suppose a
proposition Is introduced into our Legislature, at its
next session, to give a half million of dollars to that
enterprise, and some member from Lowndes county or
Camden county votes against it, woe bo to him, if he
ever aspires to represent Savannah in the Congress of
the United States? That vote, according to the Rc-
publican, will prove him the enemy of this city, and
consequently to be repudiated by her, whenever ap
pealed to for her support.
We know not what Col. Seward’s reasons were
for opposing the gift of half a million to the State
road. We do not think it important to inquire. It is
not, however, difficult to conceive of reasons which ret
might have deemed sufficient, had wo been in his
place—the representative of Thomas county. We
should probably have argued thus—" Georgia lias al
ready spent three or four millions of dollars to open
a communication by which six or eight of her north
western counties can reach an Atlantic port. That
communication has been opened, and those counties,
(though the road la not a perfect one) have been in
calculably beneflttou by it. Ought not something to
bo now done for a region tliut pays more taxes than
they, which is more remote than they ever were,
from the markets of the world,—of larger extent, and
yet has never had ono dollar from the pnblio treasu
ry with which to build it a highway.” It scenis
not incredible to us that Col. Seward and other re
prcsentatives from Southern Georgia reasoned in this
wise—and voted without stopping to think once of
the Savannah Republican and the city which it ia do
ing so little to serve.
But our neighbor has further evidence of Col. Se
ward’s enmity. Tho members of the last Legisla
ture were invited to visit Savannah and Col. Seward
did not come i Is the Republican sure that he did
send an excuse" compliments and regrets?”
If it were necessary—surely it is not—we should
mention that we have been informed that ho was pre
vented by sickness from accepting the city’s invita
tion.
Lastly. Wo have brought forward, again, Colonel
Seward's support of the Brunswick road, and it is
hinted that at a Railroad meeting held in Thomas-
villa, last February, be said or did something very
unfriendly to Savannah. On this point, at present,
we do no more than ask that if Col. Seward did or
said anything, on that occasion, which is to be used
against him, let it bo forthcoming now, while there is
time for investigation, explanation, or for rebutting
testimony, if there be any. We want nothing of the
kind kept back until the eve of the election. Hon
esty and fair dealing require that whatever charges
are to bo made, and whatever evidence is to be ad
duced, be brought forward now. If they aro not—if
they are suppressed until too late for Col. Hhward to
defend himself, tho publio will not bo Blow in deci
ding upon their character and the character of those
who would deliberately play Buch a game.
All the Talents t
The Republican, in a very solemn address to the
•• voters of this Congressional District,” tells them
Mr. Bartow ia much superior to Col. Seward. Of
course he is 1 Being a Whig, how could he bo other
wise ? Belonging to the party which has all the de
cency, all the talents, all the wealth, and all tho re
spectability—who would think of comparing any
Democrat with him ? We put the question to our
readers—did they ever hear of a Whig who was not
a much wiser and a far better man than his Demo
cratic opponent ? Mr. Jefferson, according to fed
eral Whig authority, was but a visionary and a dream
er, while John Adams was a great statesman: Gen.
Jackson an Ignoramus as compared with Quincy
Adame : James K. Pole, a third-rate politician—
Henry Clay an unrivalled orator: Franklin
Pierce, nobody—Winfield Scott, an all-conquering
hero. Yet the people of this country were such fools
as to prefer Tom. Jefferson to John Adams, An
drew Jackson to John Quincy, James K. Polk to
Henry Clay, and Franklin Pierce to Gen. Scott i
Having themselves no principles which they would
not sacrifice for office, Wny ot the Whig leaders can
not, for their lives, comprehend the reason why tho
people, through devotion to Democratic principles,
should prefer plain men, like Jackson,and Polk and
Pierce, to scholars, and orators, and heroes—like
Adams and Clay and Scott. Yet so it has been, is
now, and will probably continue to be. But the oth
er day, Tennessee elected as her Governor ono who,
ten years Bince, was a tailor—Andy Johnson* a very
plain man, over bis competitor, one of tho finest pub
lio speakers in tho West. Now all this is as utter
foolishness to the intellectual, refined and aristocratic
circles of Wbiggory as were tho simple principles of
the Gospel to tho cultivated Greeks of tho days of
St. Paul. That a man liko James Seward, born in
the piney woods, of parents too poor to send him to
school after ho was ten years of age, left to struggle
on, without friends, without weultb, without educa
tion, other than be could acquire by the light of pino
knots—that he, after having fought his way to the
position of tho first lawyer In South-western Georgia,
should, while acknowledging and lamenting tho want
of early advantages, presume to bo a candidate, in
opposition to a gentleman of city birth, college edu
cation, aristocratic associations and superior oratory,
doubtless greatly surprises the editors of the Savan
nah Republican. They are, for aught wc know, as
much astonished as was Sir Leicester Didlock at
learning that the son of his housekeeper, a mere iron
monger, bad been Invited to be a candidate for the
Home o( Commons; “ a remarkable example of the
confusion into which the present age has fallen; of
the obliteration of landmarks, the opening of flood
gates, and the uprooting of distinctions.”
Yet, suppose the people, who preferred Polk to so
great a man as Olay, and Pierce to so great a men
as Scott, shall prefer James L. Seward to so great a
man as Mr. Bartow—what is to be done about it ?—
Will the Republican toll us? If we only bad an Al
gerine Law, to keep men from voting who own less
- than a thousand dollars worth of property, the thing
might be easily prevented. Can’t Mr. Jenkins, if
made Governor, be induced to give us the benefit of
aneb a law in this Congressional District ? Bat that
, would oome too late for the present contest Upon
the whole, oar opinion Is, that a majority of the voters
of this District have determined to send Col. Seward
to Congress—and will do it—despite the opposition
of tho Republican.
New Cotton—The first bale of new cotton which

House’s Printing Telegraph.
Tho Richmond TVmn Is rqjqlclng at the proapoct
of the early extension of House’s Printing Telegraph
line, as tor South as Petersburg. We wish most
hesttily that Its proprietors could be persuaded to
extend it as far Bouth as Savannah-yes and from

brought here the telegraphing from this place would
bo Increased fouhfold—to the satisfaction and ad.
vantogo of all our business men. Is not this matter
worthy the attention of the merchants and press of
this city. Perhaps ajolntcflbrt on the part of Char
leston and SavaunaU might accomplish something
for both.
Yellow Fever on the Joun Cummins.—Dr. Dkm-
err, the health officer of this port, yesterday visited
tho ship John Cummins, in Cockspur Roads, and
fouud tho steward, ono of tho two men heretofore al
luded to, in a dying condition, while the other is not
considered out of danger. All necessary provisions
have been made for the comfort of the sick, and the
safety of others ou board, who are not allowed to

the health officer of the port. No new cases have
occurred.

Mirror says their wardrobe will be redeemed and sold
for what it will bring; their expenses at the Shakes
peare Hotel paid, and their passage home guaranteed,
It is estimated that $5,000 will relieve them of ail lia
bilities and dispatch them on their voyage. This is
ccrtaiuiy more creditablo than to consign them to the
charities of Blackwell's Island.

Steamship Savannah.
v-Tho Now York Times, in last Saturday’s notico of
the exhibition at tho Crystal Palace, says:
"Among tlio curiosities introduced yesterday Is the
cylinder of tho Savannah steamship, tho first vessel
that ever crossed tho Atlantic by steam, in 1817.—
This cylinder is six feet and a half in length, and
forty inches in diameter, and is exhibited by the pro
prietors of the Atlautio Works in this city. Tho cyl
inder has a creed bearing what purports to be a fac
simile of a sliver tea-kettle, presented by Lord Lyne-
doch to Captain Rogers, of the Savannah, nt St. Pe
tersburg, when his Lordsuip was British Ambassador,
at tile time of the Savannah's visit to Europe. Wc
would recommend that the creed be renewed, and
made a fac-simile, as the present one has two errors
iu the name of Lord Lynedocb—the k being left out,
and tho lost letter is rnado k iustead of n,a fact noted
by Lady Ellesmere at her Iqst visit. The tea-kettle,
with the original papers, are on exhibition nt the
Palace. There is a beautiful oscillating cylinder, fur
nished by the Allaire Works, that will compare with
any engine-work iu tho world. This splendid speci
men of mechanical skill stands by the side of the old
pioneer cylinder of the Savannah."

Any decisive success on the part of tho rebels in

The Census,
The Richmond Enquirer says : " We are gratified,
as will bo the whole country, to learn that the elabo
rate statistics of the Census of 1830 arc now in the
hands of the public printer, and are being passed
through them with all the rapidity that the extensive
machinery and manual power of tho office will admit.
They will ho embraced in a single quarto volumo,
similar in appearance to those of the Congressional
Globe, of 1600 or 1700 pages, in a clear and elegant
type, on bcantifui paper, and with an admirable tab
ular arrangement. The binding will be neat and sub
stantial, and the entire volume of a size very conve
nient for handling and for reference, and in this, as
well as In other respects, contrasting faborably with
the other documents published by order of govern
ment. The Appendix includes brief and condensed
notes, necessary to the understanding or explanation
of the text, or to account for any of its deficiencies,
and the introductory chapter comprises the aggre
gate for tho United States, their comparison with
those of other census returns, and with the returns of
foreign countries. Some remarks follow upon the
f ilan of the census, in the preparation of which circu-
are have been freely sent out by Mr. DeBow to mem

The Case of Mr. Gibson.
The Washington Union copies from tha Times the
narrative of the long imprisonment and final escape
of Capt, Walter M. Gibson, and appends the follow
ing remark*:
From the same source we Ieam that an investiga
tion was commenced by Mr. Webster, as Secretary
of State, but that it waa arrested by his death, we
take for certain that Captain Gibson's rights, as an
American citizen, will receive due consideration from
the present Administration ; and that they will be
adjusted according to tho strict rulos of international
law. It is much to bo regretted, however, that the
Investigation was not prosecuted to a conclusion da
ring the into Administration, whilst Captain Gibson
was auflering the horrors of a Dutch dungeon. Of
coarse, wo cannot venture an opinion os to the result
ot such negotiations as may be put on foot. To form
*n opinion on the exparte narrative of Captain Gib
son would be premature: but we have no hesitation
in saying that bis narrative make* out a proper case
for examination and investigation by our Government,
and we have as little hesitation in saying that what
ever may be fonnd to be the rights or Captain Gibson
in the premises, our Government will seo that full
reparation is made. If the investigation, however,
shall show that, by ton laws or nations, Captain Gib
son bad placed himself in a condition in which his
rights, as an American citizen, were forfeited, onr
Government will be bonnd so to determine. With
the facts now before ns, wo can venture no opinion
as to the result; but wo content ousclves with the
confident prediction that every jot and title of Capt.
Gibson’s rights will be vigorously gqarded and pro
tected by tue Administration.

■official, raised hls cano and MruoOlm. T^ raan
waa about to take (ustioo Into bla Own hands, but the
fallow claimed the protection or his master and his
suite, who, or oourse. all took his part, and supposed
their diplomatic character would enable him to get
off with Impunity. . , , 4 ,
Mr. 8mlth, tho Conductor and Agent, immediately
waited on tho Minister in the oar, stated tho case, and
olvilly but Urmly remarked that auoh an uuprovoked
outrage coutd not be tolerated here; and wound up
by expreaslng the hope that the Minister would end
the builtioM, os ho easily could, by apologizing.
The Minister smiled. Apologizoi Did Monsieur
It Conductor know whom he was addressing? It
was M. Alexandre Bodlsco, Ambassador of the Em
peror of Russia i „
Mr. Smith coolly ronlled that If he was the Empe
ror ot Russia himself, he was entitled to an apology.
And he added that, until he got it, that train would
atop where it was, in the Syracuse Depot.
Great was the Indignation of the circle, when tills
audacious speech was trausiated all round it, and it
was found that diplomatic proceedings were bo sud
denly brought to a Btoud-etlll. Terrible oaths wore
sworn at the conductor, the railroad, the company,
the country, the—everybody I Bat, as they were all
in Russinn, thoy did not hurt anybody.
" I order this train to go on I” said tho Envoy Ex
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, stopping
out on the platform. Tho passengea stared. Tho by
standers winked at each other. The little pop-corn
and candy boys opened their eyes wide at tho inuu
with the long heard, and thought ho must be crazy,
But the train did not huilgo an inch.
" I order this train to go on l” repeated M. Bodlsco,
bringing Ids cams vehemently down on tho platform,
by way of emphasis. No result. The smoke curled
lazily up from tho locomotive, and the firemen and
engineer leaned back on tho wood pile, to onjoy tho
fun.
Fortunately at this moment a Washington acquain
tance, wiio happened to bo on board, came out, and
undertook to exulain American customs to the Am
bassador. A long colloquy ensued in some foreign
fongue, which nobody understood. Tho upshot of it
was. however, that a handsome and courteous apolo
gy was tendered and received—the Minister adding
that Ills ignorance of the language and customs of the
country had led him into a mistake. Tho whistle
sounded, the bell rung, and away went tho train, car
rying two or three wiser people out of Syracuse than
it brought in half an hour before.
It is barely possible that M. Bodisco’s labors with
tho press may terminate in a similar way. After all,
it is tho education, not the man, that is to blame. M.
Bodlsco is a sensible and accomplished gentleman,os
such things go in Russia. There, his requirements
would bo treated as perfectly reasonable and proper.
Persons go and stop, nt tho bidding of high Diplo
matists. Here, however, high Diplomatists oflener
come and go at tho bidding of the press.
Carriage Iloatl to Mount Washington,
The surveys for tho carriage road to the summit or
Mount Washington have bo fur progressed as to de
monstrate, In the opinion of Mr.Ricker, the engineer,
the entire practicability ot tho undertaking, Over
one-half of the elevation can bo overcome in a dis
tance of four miles, the steepest gradient required
being one foot vertical to eight feet horizontal—the
grades varying from 1 to 8 to 1 to 20.
Mr. Stephenson, at Gorham, spoke in terms of ad
miration of tho project, pronouncing the scheme en
tirely feasible—lie having prepared tho plans for a
still greater work of the same character over the Ap-
pcnincs.
Mr. Stephenson expressed the belief that the
amount of travel to the summit of Mount Washing
ton would yet require the use of a railway, worked
by horse power, laid on the same grades, with fre
quent rests, using tho chip or rachct to hold the trains
•when tho curs are not in motion.
We aro informed that the enterprise is now made
certain, and the intention is to commence work the
present year, immediately on the completion of the
surveys.—Portland State of Maine.
Uncertainty of the Law.
A laughable illustration of the heading of this
article occurred in Illinois lately, as will be seen by
the following, from the Peoria News:
" Mr. B. was out hunting with his rifle, and cros
sing tho field of Mr. C., a Frenchman, C’s large dog
attacked him savagely, while C. stood looking on,
without attempting to call off his dog. B., getting
out of patience, shot the dog, aud lie fell apparently
dead. C., in high dudgeon, forthwith got out a war
rant, mid had B. arrested for killing his dog—swore
to tho killing, and was corroborated hy two of his
neighbors, who were present nt tho shooting. The
magistrate fined B. ten dollars and costs, which
amounted to about ten more. B. paid Ids fine and
costs, and when the parties got home from the trial
the dog had got home also, and was not killed, li.
then got out a warrant against the Frenchman and
his two associates for perjury, in swearing B. had
killed his dog. They were frightened, and made
peace with B.—paid him back Ids twenty dollars and
ten more for his trouble, and no trial was had ; nnd
when the parties returned homo from the last suit,
lo 1 the dog was dead.”
Urtenough’s Group or Statues.
w. M.v l.aa.Li.Xtu U,v MuJuooa of Mr. Mills whn
is intrusted with tho patting up of Greenough’s group
of marble statues lately received at tlio Navy Yard,
for tlio following descriptive information os to tho
group. This group is the workmanship ot the cele
brated American sculptor Greenough, and is to he
placed on the basis of the greut staircaso of the Capi
tol at Washington.
The group is composed of the civilized man nnd
the savage, of tho woman with her son in her arms,
nnd of a dog. It represents the civilized man, strong
in moral and physical power, surprising nnd seizing
a savage, and, by inspiring in him n sentiment or
humanity, hinders him from committing the barbarity
of killing tho son of a poor woman. An irregular
mass of rock forms the pedestal of the group.
The civilized man and the snvage are to be placed
in the centre of tlio pedestal. On the right will stand
tho mother and her sou; aud on the left will bo placed
the dog.
It was the intention of the illustrious artist to su
porintoud, in person, the erection or the group, in
order to retouch and give a lust hand to the mother
and the dog on the spot, and then set the rock and
pieces ot marblo, enclosed in boxes for tlio purpose,
so os to form only one group, inducing tho beholder
to believe that the whole was formed of one piece
Next to the greut artist, the most appropriate person
to superintend tho erection was Mr. Mills, and we
have no doubt that he will carry out successfully the
design which Mr. Greenough was prevented from ex
ecuting by the hand of death.—Wash. Union.
A Wonderful Ego.—Our friend, Mr. Lyons, the

inches in circumference longitudinally, nnd being of

outer one had a large yolk, and tho inner one two
yolks. The hen often lays two eggs a day.—N. Y.

A Nun is not Dead in Law.—A very Interesting
case has recently been decided in Ireland, iu which
it was declared by the Court that a Nun could sue
cccd to an estate os tlio lawful heir. The Statutes of

as making void,so far as tlio law can, tho vow of pov

Arrest of a Postmaster fob Rorbino the
Mail.—For some years past depredations have been
committed upon the U. S. mail <>n tha Wheeling mail
route. B. B. Cliaiimnn, Esq., the special mail agent
or tlio postoffice department discovered that the rob
beries must ho somewhere in the vicinity of Alliance.
By enclosing a ten dollar bill, marked privately, in
a letter, Mr. Chapman most ollcctually caught tho
bird. Mr. John Foults, postmaster at Moltrie Station,
on tho C. A I’. R. It., nine miles below Alliance, in a
day or two passed that identical bill on a railroad
conductor. Mr. Chapman, accompanied by U. S.
Marshall Fitch, proceeded to Moltrie Station, where
thoy learned that Mr. Foults was serving at New
Lisbon, Columbiana Co., as a grand juror. They
proceeded to that place, and mndo tho arrest, and
placing the prisoner in a boggy returned to Alliance.
The prisoner is a man of property, and has served
postmaster a number of years. He was terribly
footed when arrested.—Cleveland Plain dealer.
A Thoroughly Educated People—In the State
of New Hampshire—with a population ot 315,000—
there aro but seventy-six persons between tho ages of

advancement of that State, where the people are prob
ably better educated than any where in the Union.—
There are ninety thonsand pupils on tho school lists,
seventy thousand of whom attended the winter

A Singular Fact.—A marriage solemnized in
South Carolina is Indissoluble either by consent of the

The Tree that Never Fades.
" Mary,” said George, " next summer I will not
have a garden. Our pretty tree is dylug, and I won’t
love another tree ns long as I live. I will Imvc a bird
next summer, and that will stay all winter.”
" George, don’t you remember my beautiful canary ?
It died in the middle or tho summer, and we planted
bright flowers in tho ground where we buried it. My
bird did not live as lung as the tree.”
" Well, I don’t see as we can lovo any thing. Dear
little brother,died before the bird, and I loved him
better than any bird, or tree, or flower. Oh, I wish
we could have something to love that wouldn’t die!”
The day passed. During the school-hours George
nnd Mary had almost forgotten that their tree wus
dying; but at evening, ns they drew their chairs to
tho table where thoir mother was sitting, and began
to arrange the seeds they had been gathering, tlio re
membrance of the treo came upon them.
*• Mother," said Mury, " you may give these seeds
to cousin John ; I never want another garden."
" Yes,” added Guorge, pushing tho papers in which
ho bad carefully folded them towards Ids mother,
" you may give them all away. If I could find some
seeds of a tree that would never fade, I should like
then to have a garden. I wonder, mother, if there
ever was such a garden ?”
" Yes, George, I bavo read of a garden where the
trees never die."
" A real,garden.mother?"
" Yes, iny son. In tho middle of the garden,I
have been told, there runs a pure river of water, clcur
as crystal, and on each Hide of tho river is tho tree of
life—a treo that never fades. That garden is Heaven.
There you may lovo, and love forever. There will be
no dentil—no fading there. Lot your treasure be in
the tree of life, nnd you will liave’sometldng to which
your hearts can cling without fear,nnd without disap
pointment. Lovo the Saviour here, and he will pre
pare you to dwell in those green pastures,aud beside
those still wuters."
A Canine Critic,
An amusing story is told of a young Parisian ar
tist, who lately painted a portrait of a Duchess, with
which her friends were not satisfied, declaring that
it was totally unlike. The painter, however, was con
vinced that be had succeeded admirably, aud propos
ed Hint the question of resemblance or no resem
blance should be left to a little dog belonging to the
Ducliess, which was agreed to. Accordingly the pic
ture was sent to the hotel of the lady the next day,
and a large party assembled to witness the test. The
dog wss culled in, and no sooner did ho see the por
trait then ho sprang upon it, licked it nil over, and
sliowed'every demonstration of tho gratest Joy. The
triumph of the painter was complete, nnd all present
insisted that the picture had >"•»«» a-ot»u«Lutl (lining
the night, which was actually so, the artist having
rubbed it over with a thin coating ntlard ! Thu dog'°
nose was sharper tliun the critics’ eyes.
A GoodScnim uAi. Name—Tiie Richmond Times
relates tho following :
A gentleman travelling in a section of country
which shall bo nameless, stopped at tlio house of a
pious old woman, and observing her fondness for a
pet dog, ventured to ask tlio name of the animal.—
The good woman answered by saying that sho called
him " Moreover.”
" Is not that a strange name ?" inquired tho gentle
man.
“ Yes,’, said tho pious old lady. " but I thought it
must be a good one, as I found it in the Bible."
•* Found it in the Bible!'’ quoth the gentleman.—
" Pray in what part of the Bible did you And it?"
The old lady took down her Bible with the utmost
revercuco, and turning to the text, read as follows
" Moreover the dog came and licked his sores."
*’ There,'' said she triumphantly, •* have I not tho
highest authority for the name ?”
Domestic Animals in the United States.—Ac
cording to the census returns tha number of horses in

In 1769 occurred tlio first visitation of the yellow
fever at New Orleans, it 1 ling introduced by a Brit
ish vessel with a cargo of slaves from tho coast of
Africa. Iii 1763 Spain took possession of the colony,
and from tlmt time till 1778 the commerce of New
Orleans suffered severely from tlio restrictive colonial
policy of Spain. In 1778 occurred a tire, which de
stroyed nine hundred houses. In 1785 New Orleans
proper had 4,700 inhabitants. In 1791 the first com
pany or French comedians arrived, and several pri
vate academies werb establlslicc’—tlio instruction or
youth having previously been confined to priests nnd
nuns. In 1792 the militia of the city, amounting to
700, was oiganized and drilled. In 1794 the first
newspaper, Lc Moniteur, was published.

fifty-two years of age, a native of Jefferson county,
Kentucky, and came to thin city in the winter of
1849, from St. Louis, in which latter place he had for
several years practiced the profession of law with
eminent ability.
As a criminal law lawyer he had gained at onr bar
an enviable position and stood in the front rank
among Ids compeers. As a man lie was much es

Board of Health, used almost superhuman exertions
to get tho bodies placed under ground, but it was im
possible to obtain men to work, though Mr. Knrsheedt

Monetary Affairs, Ac.
Contrary to the antici|iation* of many of
financial men. the stringency in tho Money market has
continued during the week, nnd rates have an upward ten
dency. A No. 1 paper sold at 1 H cent, in Wall-street yes
terday. We quote:
Loans at Call 8ft) 9 ft cent.
Prime 3ft)4 mos. paper Pft)12 ¥ cent.
Prime 4ft)0mos, paper 10ft)14 fl cent.
The demand continues active, chiefly for the payment of
duties on the heavy importation* which, thus far. for the
present month, far exceed tluiseof nny previous vear.
It Is apprehended that the foreign trade, for the current
year, must result In a heavy balance against this country,
which enn only be liquidated by a large export of coin. In
view of this, ami the rather expanded condition of the
Banks, the adoption of a more prudent policy by Ihese in
stitution* cannot be otherwise than salutary; and the ne-
cessl'y of a more frequent expose of their condition will
produce more uniformity of action.
