In New York, which in the source
and center of the late embarrassments,
there are encouraging indications that
the critical period has passed, and
that damages are being gradually re
paired. An auspicious token of the
state of public confidence is the fact
that the associated banks there have
lieen enabled to employ nearly twenty-
five million dollars of loan certificates,
and that they continue fully as available
as heretofore. In addition to this in
flation there, the treasury has paid out
within a week about 815,000,000 in
currency at that point, though the bene
fits of the operation arc curtailed by the
tmount on hind, Iom Treasurer** Com
mission*,
We find the books of the County
Commissioners neatly and correctly
kept. From the best information we
find the Boor House well managed and
the beneficiaries well cared for, reflect
ing much honor on the County Com
missioners and Mr. Handers, Lite
Steward, who gives his personal at
tention to the same.

of that body.
We find the jail safe, but needin
some repairs about the windows and
floor. In this connection we desire to
on the exi.-ting order of things, it
would no doubt have proven beneficial
to the public, as the resultant shrinkage
of the values of inflated securities was
equivalent to an immediate lightening
of the burden upon the money power.
American railroad stocks alone aggre-
gateabout 81,600,000,000, and railroad
bonds ?1,.50H,00ft,0(H). It we assume
5 per cent, as the average decline in
this class of property, an average evi
dently below the mark, we find that
railroad investments icquire nearly
$160,000,01)0 less to cover them than
was i&juisite prior to the panic. The
total shrinkage in all active co.pirate
securities is equal to at least 8250,000,-
000, though it is to a large extent di
vided with foreign capitalists. The
liberation of this amount of actual cap
ital from a speculative class of invest
ments, an amount large enough to pay
for constructing 0,000 miles of rail
roads, if permanently established,
would have ultimately enhanced the
availability of the money power for oth
cr purposes; and if the people in gen
eral had waited for the evidences of a
Wall street crash in its practical effect
ii|Hin their own affairs, they would have
realized unmixed advantages.
A foolish panic in most of the large
cities, however, converted the disasters
of speculators into a general misfortune.
An insane frenzy took possession of
the multitude to withdraw and lock up
their paper currency, which drove the
banks of nearly all the largo centers to
check the evil by locking up this paper
in their vaults—either proceeding being
sufficient while in force to bring both
domestic and foreign trade to a dead
lock. This eager sti uggle to suppress
and hide away currency was curious
enough, in one sense, for if either the
one or the other—i’ne banks or the
people—should withdraw it for a period
of only a few weeks from its accustomed
chauncls, it would inevitably become
worthless, as it would inevitably, with
out the artificial aid of legislation, oc
casion a universal crash. The New
York hanks could not aid the interior
banks of the cities, the cities could
not aid the country banks, the latter
could not enable the producer to for
ward his crops to market. Taking
this process in the opposite direction, it
would become impossible for the retail
merchant to call in his credits, tiie job
bing merchant could, not realize on the
debts of his customers, and could not
liquidate his obligations to the impor
ter. All this would mean, of course,
general bankruptcy throughout tie
country.
There is another peculiar feature in
this stampede of depositors. The whole
effort has been to withdraw from trade
a thing which has no intrinsic value ex
cept at a waste-paper mill, and which
is wholly useless except as a means of
facilitating trade or exchanging pro
perty, being only an evidence of credit.
Its withdrawal from the channels of
trade could consequently destroy its
only useful property, and it would ul
timatelv become worthless. A money
panic :n a sjiecic paying community,
however, has a better apology. Gold
and silver arc valuable intrinsically.
Take a nugget of gold or silver to any
country in the world, and not only can
a ready market lie found, but through
out the commercial world a quite uni
form valuation. Panic-stricken specie
depositors, when offering hank paper at
the counter and asking for gold and
silver coin, arc offering to exchange
what they doubt for what is univer
sally and intrinsically valuable. In
the recent disorders, on the contrary,
the whole struggle lias been to get
possession of paper, the general pos
session of which by the people, for
the purpose of withholding it from its
uaicr -l channe s, would hare canceled,
or at. least greatly impaired its value.
We will suppose, while folly aware of
the utter-impossibility of such a thing,
that all the banka of the country are
forced to suspend permanently. It is
well known that the United States
Covernni -nt has repudiated greenbacks
on the authority of a decision of the
Supreme Court
With no complaint of County Com-
missioners in discharge of their duties,
it is nevertheless the opinion of this
body, that the act of the Legislature
being loaned to the bank.-*, as was done
last fall, on Goverment bonds as secu
rity. Shipments of currency to the
West and South have been resumed.
One of the principal difficulties of
the situation at the seaboard lias lieen
the unsalability of foreign exchange,
which lias prevented shippers of grain,
cotton, tobacco, &c., from realizing
currency against their shipments. Ad'
vice from England, however, report an
extraordinary export of gold to the
United States, about twenty-five mil.
lion dollars being set afloat to New Yoik
within a week. The relief from this
movement will be very speedy and de
cided, though a large part no doubt is
not. destined to strictly commercial pur
poses. There is an active and inereas
ing purchase of gold in England for
shipment to this country, resulting in
an advance of interest by the Rank of
England to protect its reserves, and
with a further rise in prospect. A
decided improvement in New York, of
which these and other circumstances
give an early promise, will lie quickly
followed by a corresponding relaxation
of the stringency in all other cities.

of farmersand mechanics. At the close
of bis remarks Dr. Jones was intro
duced to the audience, who responded
by giving us one of his practical and
scientific addresses. The Doctor gave a
retty thorough exposition of applied
chemistry, so far as it relates to agri
culture. The address was both good,
full of sound, practical advice and was
well received by the audience.
The following specimens of agricul
tural pro luets were then exhibited :
Two stalks of eoitun, oue containing
170. the other 160 bolls—these stalks
were the result of an experiment by
Mr. John I. Cheatham, the land was
well prepared, but received no work
after plauting; a third stalk was also

corn. No. 1 was grown on branch bot

chopped out twice with the hoe—yield
eight barrels per acre. Lot No. 2
was grown liv Mr. Haguewood on
branch bottom, received no work
further than the preparation of the
soil—yield live barrels per acre.
The object of the above experiments
was to ascertain which per cent of the
cost of the production of corn depends
on the proper preparation of the soil
before planting, which is shown to be
at least fifty jier cent from the result
of the aboveexperiments. Other speci
mens of corn were presented worthy of
mention did sjiace admit.
Col. Robert White presented a speci
men of the Japan pea, which he claims
that each plant will yield as much
nutriment for feeding stock as the same
number o" stalks of corn.
Mr. Black presented a beet, weigli-
ing 7i pounds; Mr. W. II. Bush re
ported a l>eet weighing 94 pounds ;

Unable to withstand the clamors
for assistance which arose from every
section of the country, the President
lias at last yielded to a pressure too
powerful to lie resisted. The Tele
graph brings us a letter from the Ex
ecutive to Messrs. H. B. Claffin and
L. Antony, in which General
Grant promises to prepay the Novem
ber interest on the coupon and regis
tered bonds of the United States.
This will add fourteen millions of dol
lars to the currency in circulation, and
though most of it will go to Eurojie,
enough will he left in this country to
relieve the stringency in some degree.
The President of the First National
Bank of New York urges an immediate
resumption of specie payments as a
positive mcasur<rt*f relief, which will
add eighty million dollars to the curren
cy of the country. The same plan is
advocated by some of the leading Eng
lisii journals, and seems to be looked
upon with favor by the New York
World.
In Augusta the prospect is much
brighter than it 1ms been since the pan
ic commenced. Several of the suspend
ed banking institutions resumed yester
day and in a short time business, will
move on as usual. Confidence has in a
great measure been restored, deposits
are rapidly being returned and no fears
are entertained of another run. The
Georgia Railroad Directors somewhat
disappointed the public expectation in
refusing, by a decided vote, to accede
to the projiosition made by the mer
chants’ meeting, but we believe that
the worst is now over and that the de
mand for cotton will soon restore trade
to its normal condition.—Augusta
