OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE,
baring our absence a letter from Wash
ington taken from an exchange, was in
serted in our paper of the I2lh instant,
without duo credit being given. Appear
ing as it did, wc learn that it Las been at
tributed to our Correspondent at Wush
ingtou. Wo regret both the omission to
give credit to the paper from which it uas
taken, and the false impression it gave
rise to. • The selection of the letter was
made by friend and handed in (or publica
tion, on account of its facetiousness and
humor. Noone of course will suppose
that this paper could endorse any of the
I sentiments of the writer; and as for the
“tacts” it set forth, we know them to have
been asMimeil only, and at variance with
tiuth
CHEROKEE INSURANCeTnd" BANKING COMPANY.
From the “Chicago Daily Press,” and
the “ Tribune,” we extract the following
ar.iclcs, which will be found interesting
to our readers, as they refer to the Insti
tution at Dalton, noticed above. We are
gratified at the representations made by
» the presses referred to, und Lope that the
Bank at Dalton will yet be of substantial
service to the people of North Western
Georgia, who have so long suffered for the
want of proper Banking facilities.

MERCHANTS ANO MECHCTICS’ BANK-RESUMP
TION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS-CHEROKEE INSUR
ANCE AND BANKING CO.'S BILLS CURRENT.
The Merchants and Mechanics’ Bank
of this city resumed business yesterday
after a suspension of some three weeks.—
We make the announcement with a de
gree of gratification that we cannot well
express, because the fact will go far to
wards restoring confidence in the country,
and have a favorable effect upon the strin
gent condition of money affairs.
By reference to the proceedings of the
Board of Directors, to be found in anoth
er column, it will be seen that Dr. B<ono
has retired from the Presidency of the
Bank, and that Hon. James II Woodworth
£ has been elected to that post It will al
so bo seen that certain restrictions have
I been placed upon the extension of dis
counts, requiring the concurrenea of the
President and Cashier, and in the absence
of either, the concurrence of the other
with two Directors. The newly elected
President is pledged to give his personal
attention to the affairs of the Bank, in
which duty he has been laboriously en
gaged since the date of its suspension,
ami to his exertions in that behalf its ear
ly resumption is doubtless in good part
owing. Mr, Woodworth is the member
of Congress elect from this District, and
although we cannot endorse his politics J
k wholly, still it affords ns pleasure to say ,
that no man in our our community com
k munds more fully the confidence and re
spect of his fellow citizens than be.
We are assured by officers of the Bank,
that it resumed business upder the most
favorable auspices. Its affairs have been
’ thoroughly overhauled, and its present ac
tion iaupon a sure and reliable basis.—
Moreover, the wisdom gained by the last
few weeks’ experience is no small increase
K to the capital stock, as it wiil insures more
* circumspect and cautious policy for the
future in the regulation of its line of dis-|
I coun s.
Si The Merchants’ nnd Mechanics’ Bank
is the agency in this city for the rcdeiup i
tion of the bills of the Chorokro Insur
ance and Banking Co. of Dalton, Georgia. I
The resumption of business on the part of
the former, therefore, places the latter up
on the same footing in every respect which
it enjoyed prior to the suspension.
From the Tribune.
MERCHANTS AND MECHANICS BANK.
| On yesterday afternoon, the doors of
this Institution wore again opened, ami
they will now remain open for the regu
lar transaction of the binineas of the,
Rank. We are furnished with the fol
lowing abstract from the proceedings of
the the Directors of the Bank at a recent
meeting:
At a meeting of the Directors of the
Merchants’ nnd Mechanics’ Bank of Chi
cago, held at the Banking House of said
Bank, on the 9th day of November 18.>4,
Dr. I<*»vi D. Boone tendered his resigna
tion as President of said Bank, which was
I accepted, and thereupon Hon. James H.
Woodworth was unanimousl y elected Pres
ident of the said Bank, with the under
standing and agreement, that he shall de
vote his personal attention to the manage
| ment ot the nfiairs of the Bank
1 On motion, it was resohodthut no notes
. or bills slmll.be dis. outlied. unless by aiol
* with the approval cf the President and:
’ Cashier of said Bank, and in the absence
of either the President or Cashier, then
[ by and with the approval of two Directors
ot said Bank, with the President or Cash-
L ier- J. H. Woodworth, President,
ito S Brunson, Jr , Sev’y.
The public confidence in this Bank will
K now be entirely ivstoivd, and. indeed, it
has never been shaken in the minds of
those who were conversant with its re
sources, and knew the character of the
men who controlled it
THE NEW MAYOR ANO COUNCIL,
In the presence of a large number of
citizens, the recently elected Mayor and
Aldermen were on Friday evening last
duly installed into office. We were pres
ent on the occasion, and were much grati
fied nt the proceedings Upon taking his
seat, the Mayor, Capt. Nelson, delivered
! an address to the Aidermen, which elicit
' ed the hearty applause of those who were
I present. A more appropriate address, we
. have never had the pleasure of listening
to. Upon motion of Aiderman Baldwin,
the addroes was directed to be entered on
the minutes of the Council, and a copy
thereof to be furnished the city papers for
publication. Our readers, therefore, will
soon have the pleasure of perusing it.
We perceive that the Intelligencer Las
made a desperate assault on Governor
Johnson. It is not our purpose, fit this
tine, to say more than that all its assump
tions, arc mere imaginations, which time
will show. So far from being weaker in
j public estimation, that he was at the time
he was elected, Governor Johnson has
gained strength with the people, and with
the democracy of Georgia stands higher
now than he ever did, notwithstanding
the previous elevated position he occu
pied in their estimation. Our sore head
ed neighbor is evidently suffering from
some disease to us unknown When it
fully devolopcs itself, we sha 1 ?tiy more to
our readers on the subject.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[.Special correspondence of the Daily Examiner.]
Washington, Juu. 15.
The latest nows from Europe, of which
I gave your readers a hasty sketch in my
last, has awakened the most intense anxi
ety in regard to the next arrival. News
of an important and decisive character
from the seat of war is looked for, to
which the battle of the Alma was but the
preludium. Heavens ’. what blood must
flow, what homes made desolate, what vic
tims must be offered, to appease the blood
stained |demou of Europeau despotism ?
I would not, if I could, disguise the fact,
that the Allies have but little sympathy
from the reflecting portion of American
citizens France goes to war on a point
of concience—and yet the massacre of
the Hugonots, stand in damning charac
ters on the most prominent page of her
history. England fights to protect the
weak against the strong, whilst the groans
of her fettered and famishing subjects in
Ireland mingle with every breeze that
sweeps over that beautiful isle. Tyrant,
despotic, even though he be, Nicholas
treats his Serfs with more kindness and
justice than England extended to her
American Colonies during the whole peri
od of our Colonial existence
But it is not these contrasts which his.
tory forces upon our reflection that form
the basis of American sympathy in favor
|of the Czar. He demanded of Turkey
1 religious protection, according to his own
| notions of that privilege for those in the
dominions of that power, whom he regard
ed as having a right to look up to him
when they were kicked aud cuffed about
ns “ Christian dogs.” England and France
urged Turkey to treat that demand as in
compatible with her Sovereignty, and to
refuse to grant it—promising to back her
with their united forces, and drive the
, Bear to the fastnesses of the mountains.—
This demand may have been reasonable or
i uof, but mark! Before England or France
drawed a sword or unfurled a sail, they
both demanded and both obtained in favor
of tlmse of their own faith respectively,
who are subjects of the Sultan, the very
same privilege which they thought Tur
key could not grant to the Czar consist
ently with her exclusive, sovereign juris
, diction over all her subjects. Even this
I hypocrisy would scarcely have enlisted in
‘ this country any feeling of sympathy one
way or the other. But America has a
destiny to fulfil—that destiny is to ameli
orate the condition of mankind by pro
claiming to the world that man is capable
of self government—and that, that capa_
bility can only be developed under the
genial influence of Democratic, Republi
can principles, and the political institu.
tions to which those principles gave birth. .
The government of Russia is known. I
the world over, as an unmitigated deapo-!
tism. So i< that of England ami of mod
ern France. But these named power*
sweeten the despotic pill with the honied ]
covering of popular representation, and ,
limited Sovereignty--and hence, must |
even prove a more formidable obstacle to
the diffusion of popular rights and Repub
lican principles, than the despotism of the!
, Autocrat which disdains disguise and re-1
pudiates simulation. With no other des
potism in Europe but thut of Russia, the
civilized portion of the Eastern continent
would be Democratised in less than a
quarter of a century. France aud Eng
, land throw an alpine barrier in the way
of progress which must be removed ere
the serf and bondman can shake off the
fetters which they wear and vindicate the
character and dignity of their nature.—
Let the Allies, therefore, reap the harvest
which they have sown, and if private let
ters received by foreign officials in this
city can be relied on, the grain is even now
ripe for the sickle. We could mourn the
hard fate of the thousand brave hearts
that will cease to pulsate, forever, beneath
the walls of Sebastopol, but the “ blood of
the martyrs is the seed of the Church.”
The Tariff question has not yet been
reached, and as I have already informed
your readers,‘will, in all human probabil
ity, slumber on the shelves of Congress,
until the next Session. The Sentinel of
this city and many of our leading Northern
papers, devote a large portion of their
columns to the discussion of this subject.
Some of these Journals advocate a Free
Trade system, others a protective Tariff
whilst the more moderate urge a medium
policy, subjecting the luxuries of life to
bear the principle burden of the expenses
of the Government and relieving, as far
as cau be done, from all onerous and un
necessary imports, those articles which
constitute the necessaries of life and are
indispensible to the comfort and susten
ance of the poorer classes.
The project of the Secretary of th*
Treasury stands first in order. This Trea
sury Bill was sent by the Secretary to the
Committee of ways and means in Dec
1853, and proposes an alteration in the
Tariff’ act of 1846. In June 1854 Mr.
Haven reported a Bill from that Commit"
tee entitled “A Bill reducing the duty on
Imports and for other purposes,” which
Bill was accompanied by another from the
minority of the same Committee as a sub
stitute for the Bill reported by Mr. Haven.
A few of the most prominent articles se
lected from each of these projects will be
sufficent to indicate their general spirit.—
The three projects agree in retaining the
duty of 100 percent, on sprituous Liquors.
The Secretary submits a long free list in
cluding Tea, Coffee, Wines of all kinds,
Wool unmanufactured of the value of 10
cents per lb or less in the foreign port at
the period of exportation—Minerals, Med
icines in their crude or raw state, Dye
Stuffs, &c., subjecting all other articles
imported to a uniform duty of 25 per
cent. Mr. Haven’s Bill proposes 5 differ
ent rates of duty, to wit. 100—20 —15 —
10—5. —The first applies to Liquors—in
the second (20) are included several arti
cles Which the Secretary proposes to make
free, as wool unmanufactured and wines—
and in the last (5) are chiefly comprehen
ded articles in their crude or raw state,
which Mr. Guthrie places on his free list.
The minority report differs from that of
the Secretary, so far as 1 can discover, in
one item only, namely, wool.—The Secre
tary fixes the maximum value in the home
market of wool to be admitted free at 10
cents per pound or less. Mr. Robbins’
minority report specifies wool of 16c. per
pound or less, and 50c. per pound and o
ver, as the quality to be entitled to free
entry.
These details may seem dry to your
readers—but they will thank me for the
trouble I have incurred in reaching them
when they shall hereafter, find it necessa
ry to recur to them as the only means of
explaining the shonts from the West that
will reverberate through the Halls of Con
gress when these different projects come
up for discussion. Raw materials enter
ing into our manufactures, Iron and wool,
will be the “apple of discord” in the Tariff
discussions.
Nothing of interest transpired to-day
in Congress—if I except a powerful and
eloquent vindication of your gallant State
in all its resources, political, physical and
moral, by Mr. Stevhpens from some doubt
less, inadvertent disparaging remarks of
Mr. Campbell of Ohio.
The. letters of Pendleton in the Mobile
Register, one of which yeu have copied,
are written with signal ability and genuine
Southern feeling. I trust that the writer,
whoever he may be. will include, in his
researches, the decision of the Supreme
Court ot the United States in the ease of
Chisholm, Executor vs. Georgia 1793
reported, at length, in Dallas Reports 419.
It is a remarkable fact, and one preg
mint with meaning, that the abolition j
Know-Nothings at the North have actually
; established a secret agency at Norfolk,
from which money is to be distributed
throughout the State, for the purpose of
defeating Mr. Wise. He has doubly sin
ned against them, in writng, first a pro
slavery aud afterwards au unti-Knuw-nutb
iug letter. The South, however, is now
beginning to realise the fact that
Kuiiw-Nonhingism and Abolitionism are
] one and the same thing. Indeed no un
prejudiced man ever doubted it. The
company they keep—the b.*oken-duwn
hackes they arepnttiug up for office, every
where —their secret oaths—their fiendish
purposes—their incendiary designs, are!
marks and unmisttikeable proofs of the
identity of these two|fanatical organizations-
It is a fact, ritum teiieatis amifi ! that
there are, in N. York and Massachusetts,
13 Lodges of negro Know-Nothings; and
even now they propose establishing a
black branch in this City. BRUTUS.
