To a large prnjmrtion of our readers,
the present banking system of the Uuh.
led States is a profound mystery, la-
deed it is surprising bow few are ac
quainted with the general theory of
banking, and the nature of the profits
realized by these institution*. We
| shall confine our present article howev
er, to a glimpse at what are denomina
ted “national banks.”
Ar.y party, provided he is “trooly loil,”
and has influence sufficient at court, by
the purchase and deposit in the Treasu
ry, of United States bonds to the amount
of 8100,000, may set up a “national
bank.”
Upon making this deposit, be is per
mitted to draw $90,080 in gieenbaeks
from the Treasury, the remaining 810,
000 being retained as a so r l of collater
al security or *bmuua.
Now murk the fact; besides reesiv-
ing. tliis large sum for banking opera
tions, the fortunate depositor is permit
ted to draw semi-anunally or otherwise,
the regular interest w hich accrues upon
his 8100,000 of U- S. bonds.
lie commences busines’tliertrfbre with
the certain income of 8 or 7 per cent up"
on his entire capital, before he invests a
dollar of tlie ninety thousand is curren
cy, which has bacn paid him from the
Treasury. With this eum however he
now opens his bank, and besides doing
a regular banking business , lends moo-
ey at from 12 to 2-fpcr cent j»er annum,
usually at short time, and upon am
ple real, and personal security. The
bills of these concerns are protected
and guaranteed by the U S. Love; n~
incut, and the amount issued duly regu
lated by law. Hence no h>ss can enure
to the bill holder, by the failure of a
bank in consequence of bad investments.
■The regular income upon the bonds
-ah deposit tlierefore, in addition to the
higli rate «f interest charged tor loans,
ami the interest upon that interest,
weieh is -colluded every 68 or 90 days,
■furnish -an aggregate of ^profits suffi
cient to satisfy eveB the most rapacious.
But we ore assured, many wlio obtain
charters or permits for banks after de
positing the requisite amount of bonds,
draw the prescribed sum iu uarroncy,
and fail to establish any bank alter-
wards. They -simply go South, where
money is source and will command al-
most any price, and lend out, or specu
late with -$30,000 which has been ad’
vnnoed to them. Who eould desire a
better start in business than this !
The above embraces in a nutshell the
working of the National Bank system,
and explains why the preponderance "I
banking capital, is so largely jn favor of
the North. Our people are too poor to
buy the bonds which must be deposited

The fui ther elaboration of this sub
ject, must be reserved for a subsequent

Philadelphia, March L— Considerable
excitement has been produced here by
the publication of a notice by a promi
merit firm that they were prepared id
sell at gold prices, and give chango in
silver coin for greenbacks at par. The

and it is understood that other large,

Ninety throe helpless women and 50

A Detestable Practice.
We learn that in numerous instances
planters have been stripped of their la
boring force, by the macMiqations of
BWglitKirs or other interested parties.
The too credulous freedman is either
prejudiced against his employer by slan
derous statements, or lured away under
promise of higher wages, or a larger
share of the crop. Those who look
alter the morals and conduct of their
employees,and inpose salutary restraints
upon them, for tlie good of society, and
their own welfare, are apt to be the
greatest sufferers.
It is well known that the negro is now
impatient of the least shadow of re
straint, and has very faint conceptions
-of the obligations of a contract.
The white apprentice and factory op
erative, are required to commence work
with tlie rising sun, an.l labor, without
ceasing, for a given number of hours,
during six days of the week. The for
mer, if under age, is even chastised or
punished otherwise, for any misdemean
or, by his employer.
How stands it with the freedmen ?
If absent from work without leave,
or performing any duty in a negligent
manner, even the slightest rebuke is re -
ceived in higb dudgeon and resented as
an insult. ^
Hence, almost every day in the week
at the busiest seasons, scores of troed-
men may be ob-erved on our streets, to
the sore detriment of their employers.
For such conduct wtiite tnen would
be discharger!, or held accountable for
the loss of time. In the negro, it is
very generally overlooked, however, So
that it is a received tact that less than
two-thirds of average work is all that
can be relied upon from a majority of
them. Those who attempt to correct
these evils are denounced for it, and find
it difficult t® secure laborers, y
Again,wu have jKJoitive evidence, that
tlie most infamous measures are resorted
to by unprincipled tnen, to seduce from
their employers, those who have been
regularly <iiig iged for the year.
Such conduct should be frowned upon
by all honest men. and severely punish,
ed by the courts. Especially should
there he perfect concert of action be
tween all upright planters, upon the
proper enforcement cf labor contracts.
Let any and every ope who gives em
ployment to those who have violated
their obligations to others, be punished
by immediate prosecution.
This alone will teach the ignorant
freedman, that his contract is not a mere
rope of sand to be annulled at pleasure,
and that a violation of the same will re
sult in the permanent loss of employ
ment, and consequent starvation.
Of course the planter should also be
held to the strict letter of his contraet,
and the same rule be even more rigidly
enforced against him, us the better in>
formed of the two.
We believe our juries nre disposed to
do this, and that the rights of the weak
er party will be fully sustained by the
courts. Such at least should be the
ease, and r, healthy public sentiment
will so decide. ■
CiWhbert Appeal that many of the stock
holders of the Uamhrtdge, Cuthbert and
Coktmbus Railroad are becoming dis
satisfied on neenutit of the Radicalism
of President Bruton; and the editor
find* it necessary, in order to prevent
injury to (h 0 enterprise from the ex
pressed dtimatisfiiction, from this source,
'h that section, to write an elaborate ap
peal to the fietter sense of hi* readers
in b half of the mad, urging the slock-
l.o ders not to peril the interests of the
company by lugging in extraneous mat
ters which have notl tog whatever to
do with the great task b.f.re them.—
Indeed, it may be a fortunate circum
stance, after all, under the existing state
of our political afi iirs, that the Presi
dent i»f the Company is an extreme
Radical, enjoying the confidence of our
rulers at Atlanta.
We opposed the organization ef the
Company, in the outset, alone on ae
count of Bruton’s election to the I’resi-
deecy of "the Board, fearing that his
Radical record, and personal unpopa-
larily on that account, would seriously
endanger the sin cess of the proJetA.—
But the subsequent history ol the un
dertaking and tiie unanimity character
ising the movements of the people at
this end of the road, together with the
end of The evident purpose iff rlruton
to do all in the power of a Human to in
sure the building of the road, indn
ced us to believe that the organization
of the board was lortunute, and that
the people were becoming reconciled
to it.
Capt. Benjamin F. Bruton, is one of
the most enterprising, energetic, intef.
ligciit business Ittet) we know of in this
section of the State, and i" evidently
dims fits whole duty as President <d
the liulubridge, Cuthbert and Columbus
Railroad, and if pro, eily sustained by
the citizens of the countries along the
due of the road, there can be do reason
able doubt iif its success, and, early
completion to Cuthbert.
The present political status of the
South is cruci yiug to tlie true men bf
our section, and it is not to be wonder-
ed at tlrat smiling tinder the influence
of some new outrage and diabolism,
they should permit their indignation to
get the mastery over their better judg
ment, and, for tlie moment, forget that
their interest nml that of the coiiiumni-
ty, demands a submission to what can
not (numbly be avoided. "Discretion”
is said to lie the “better part of valor,”
and in seeking the develope-nent of our
.State and the recovery of ear lost for
tunes it is the dictate ol true wisdom
to avail ourselves of the material at
hand, which, if we hope for success,
must be used; nuue other being avuil-
ab e.
President Bruton ha* done well thus
far—indeed, we believe lie has done his
whole duty as the chief officer of this
road—and we are disposed to believe,
when-the time conies lor a re-election of
the Board of Directors, should the stock
holders look to the best interests of tlie
rood, that he will probably be elected
as Director, and the Board re-confei
upon him the position he now holds.—
The matter in hand is not ore of poli
tics or of personal preferences, but the
building of a railroad from Bambringu to
Columbia; and the only legitimate ques
tion to be asked, before the election of
an officer or the employment of a hand,
is : Is he capable and reliable ? And no
one cau say that President Bruton does
not till this bill. He does more : he is
a Radical, and bus influence with bis
party, wtiici now controls the legisla
tion of the State.
\Ve present the above suggestions
for the consideration of the If iends of
this all important, enterprise, and with
no other view than to preiaote its truest j
and best interests. Nor is there a man
in tiie South more opposed to radical
ism and Scalawags than we are; but
onr opposition is to Radicalism, and not
to the ilevelopement of our section, and
the building of railroads where they
are needed, even though it should be
expedient to employ Radicals, black or
white, in building them.

consideration of our readers*
We know, personally, that Mr. Kas
sel, the able and most worthy editor of
that journal, was inderib y opposed to
the election of Major Biuton, to the po
sit ion he now occupies, as President ot
the Bainbridge, Cuihoert and Columbus
RailroaJ. His opposition even cost him
the advertising patronage of that gen
tleman. But Mr. Russell is honest and
conscientious, and we give President
Brnton the benefit of his testimony.—
Should the hitter be re elected, we shall
support his administration with all the
zeal and ability ut our command, so
Jong as he continues faithful to the trusts
confided to him, and does not permit
polities to influence his appointments.
While we loathe the radicalism of the
gentleman, we do not dispute the tact
and ability which he has displayed in
the conduct of the road Nor are wc
prepared to say, that abstract political
questions should be allowed to interfere
with the completion of this great work.
Whatever, then, may be the action of
the meeting of Stockholders, we shall
coutinue to give our earliest and undi"
vided support to the officers of the road,
whoever they may chance to be.
£3^* The Cuthbert Appeal will
please let us know clearly what it
means by all its twaddle in an article
in its last issue headed Biinbcidge, Cuth-
bt»rt, «nd Columbus Railroad.—Bain-
briajn Sun.
We are not ID the habit of replying
to interrogutives propounded in the
spirit of tlie above.
For once we shall deviate from that
rule however, and answer the Sun, that
we mean tiiat onr people have no fancy
for radicalism in Capt. Bruton or any
ohe else ; that we support his adminis
tration despite that ingredient in his
character, infl lenced by other qnalifica^
tions which he possesses, but are resol
ved to be right on. the record.
More over, that if the Bun can eo
dure the election of Biodgett, Farrow
and Wkiftely, which might possibly be
inferred from h» snubbing us so sav
agely, then we have no use for our con
temporary also.
We will not be so uncharitable as to
make this charge however, but io turn
would like to “know clearly what it
means’ 1 in the premises.
Our aalicle was iulended to condemn
the illustrious trio alluded to, while at
the same time it took ground in fa
vor of the road, even with Capt. Bruton
at the head «*f it.

In Coff-e county, 115 persons have fal

t is also proving
very fatal. Cases are reported in Ala
eon and Savannah likewise.
Thus far, no settled treatment for its
cure seems to have been devised. In
ene instance blood letting appears to
have affuifled great relief.
From onr intelligent fellow towns
man Dr MeLester, we have ■ gathered
many interesting f icts connected with
this new oisease, w liicti made its first
appearance on this continent at Mont-
gomery AUluin i, several years since,
and was carefully investigated by the
Doctor.
Patients are usually flret nflected
with u pain in the neck and head, wluisu
afterwards results in infl umnalion of
the brain. No disease, not even yel
low fever or cholera is more fatal. The
sufferer often lingers for many days.
There is no fear of contagion, so no
danger is inettrred by attendance upoD
the sick.
The complaint seems to be atmos
pheric, pervading whole counties and
districts of country, it originated iu
Slrasburgh, Germany about the year i
1848.

question continues to be propounded to

A satisfactory answer is simply im
possible. Il you are rich and owe noth-
ing, then the experiment of holding can
be made with safety If however debts
are maturing or already due, the path
of duty as well as honor, should impel
you to realize at once.
We have no right to speculate, and
incur risks with that we cannot call

Ttia Gold Panic and A T. Stiw-
arts Cucp ds Main.—An announce
ment was made sever al days since, that
A. T. Stewart of New York would sell
prints and-other styles of goods at gold
prices, abroad, and give silver change
for greenbacks
A similar declaration was made by a
Philadelphia house. The Now York
Mercantile Journal exuoses the whole
thing, and says it was what is term-d a
“drive" or dodge on the part of Stew-
art, to distance competition and increase
his own business.
The ruse roso. ted to consisted in of
fering small lots of goods, o.tly a few
pieces at a tiaie, and then when the rush
was made to secure bargains, a tariff'of
ten or 15 p-P ceut. was immediately
added.
Such finessing is highly dishonorable
in commercial circles.
The belief la becoming general, that
gold will soon react again, and that no
serious fall in prices will take place for
months to come.
Even if greenbacks reached par, spe
cie payments could not lie resumed at
once, and gold must continue to fluctus
ate in value, and be affected by all tbe
vicissitudes of political events.
We snJl believe that tbe prosent pan
ic is the work of design, on tlie part of
stock jobbers, speeulat rs, and cotton
buyers. We shall sse.
