Banks—Their Organization.
The management of Banks in the U. States is
by Boards of Directors. This is deemed a branch
of their administration. Ought it not to be con
sidered a part of their organization ? The dis
tribution ol their funds depends on the mode of
management. Now, if the legislative power
may rightfully provide in chartering banks that
their funds shall be mainly employed in sustain
ing the business of the cities in which they are
established, and shall be only incidentally used
to promote the commerce of other places, it is in
harmony with this principle, that if one mode
shall more effectually than another secure the
beneficial distribution of those funds within the
sphere of local discounts—within the locality it
self—that mode is to be preferred. That the
mode by which the affairs of banks shall be ad
ministered is within the scope of the legislative
power is undeniable, from the fact that the char
ters of banks prescribe the election of twelve
Directors, who serve without salary. Why
should not the same legislative authority pre
scribe the election of three Directors, if found
expedient, with adequate salaries ? There can
be, in theory, no difference. Those who propose
the change are bound to prove its expediency.
What do we find in England, the country from
which we have borrowed our system of bank
ing ? Why that the affairs of joint stock banks,
with the exception of the Bank of England,
are conducted by one Manager, with a sufficient
salary. What do we discover when we look
into the management of our own banks. Why
that the power of disposing of their funds is
nominally with twelve Directors, but in reali
ty with two or three. This is the practice
whatever may be the form of organization.
But if if is sou nd that a divided responsibility
in this case, as in all others, weakens efficient
administration—that the dispersion of the pow
er promotes favoritism—that it leads to the in
terchange of accommodation, and the partial
distribution of the funds among those who share
the power of Directors—why should a cumbrous
supersede a simple machinery of administration ?
On what principle of utility is the powerof giv
ing and receiving accommodation divided among
twelve persons, when the better part of the
function of banking is in reality divided among
two or three ? It is true that all the Directors
of a bank do not receive accommodation ; but
on what ground of equality could it be refused
to all f If an advance is made to one of ten
thousand dollars, what forbids twelve to receive
it, making an aggregate of one hundred and
twenty thousand. Weil, if twelve individuals
obtain what may amount to one-third or one-half
of the loanable means of a bank, this could no
more be defended on the principle of a beneficial
distribution than if the same bank had applied
the remainder of its loanable resources to the
purchase of exchange in the inland towns at the
South, or in the purchase of paper in the Norih,
uiveiting those resources from the support of the
business of the city.
We are aware of the argument that is urged
in favor of a numerous board of Directors. It
is6aid that each within his sphere extends the
business of a ban.r-that his mercantile connec
tions enlarge and its resources. We
bell ve that this advantage is more apparent than !
real. The amount of business is not regulated i
by bank advances. It is determined by the
general wants, and this again by the value of
the annua crop. If this is Urge, or of large i
value, credits are required to ship it and place it I
to most advantage in foreign markets. When '
they are commensurate to this end and no more,
there is no inflation, for there is no speculation. !
Banks will be called in this sound stateot things
to make advances and the applications will not
be wanting to employ the funds of banks with
reasonable profit.
But it is the very circumstance of the strenu
ous competition among some eighty odd Direc
tors, to make business for their respective insti
tutions, that causes, too oiten, an extension of
credit, when it ought to be contracted. It is an
evidence of a plethora of capital, when deposits
are large in banks, and their circulation is slug
gish, which is the precise period for caution in
discounts; but that is the precise period, also,
that banks, by their mercantile connections,
through a numerous directory, seek, by artificial
means, to extend advances—to lure borrowers— !
to compete eagerly for the diminished gains of i
banking. If business were permitted to flow
into banks with the even currents of trade, there !
could be no want of applications to banks for ad- j
vances for their legitimate operations. All the
accommodation that forces its way into the
channels of domestic or foreign commerce is
above that level that proportions credit and cur
rency to the wants of society.
Another benefit supposed to attend a nume
rous board of Directors, is the knowledge they
bring into the general s' sck of intelligence, as to
the credit and solvency of parties who are appli
cants for accommodation. But this benefit
could be obtained without the attendant sacrifice
—without buying mercantile knowledge at too
high a rate. Three competent persons on sala
ry, whose office it would be to look throughout
the range of commercial operations, and lea. n
the mercantile standing of customers of banks,
would soon acquire that information which is
not recondite and inaccessible, for there is no
species of knowledge to diffused and diffusible as
the credit and solvency of mercantile people.
It would be better on the whole then to fore
go the advantages of an extended connection
through a numeaous Directory, when weighed
1. against the chances of inflation, with its re-
actionary consequences; 2. Against the hazard
of loss, not only to the Bank itself, from the fail
ure of Directors, but that more general loss that
arises from expansion and contraction.
We are of opinion, therefore, that it would be
an improvement, if Banks were managed by a
small number of Directors, under salary, not en
titled and not receiving accommodation. A re
sponsibility less divided—a concentration of ef
fort in advancing the interest of the institution—
an absence of partiality or favouritism—a denial
of those bank facilities that enable money to be
borrowed lor usurious ends, and the advantage j
of that beneficial distribution that nourishes the j
small trade equally with the large—these are
among the benefits of such a change in the mode
of organizing banks for their proper administra
tion.
Hay vs. Gold. —The Ohio Farmer, in com
menting upon the letter of a California corre
spondent, makes some very sensible remarks
about the mania which has possessed the people
of this country to forsake the golden fields of
their own State to dig in the golden fields” of
California, where they often gather more disap
pointment than produce. The Farmer says :
It has been our opinion that the ultimate
j prosperity of California, or any other State, must
j be influenced more by its adaption to agricultur
a! pursuits than by any or ail the gold mines
| that have been or may be found therein. There
can be no sort of doubt but that the greatest
source of wealth which California possesses is
found in the rich valleys, table lands, and moun
j tain slopes so graphically described by Fremont,
and now so ably no iced by Mr. Kelley. Whe/y
these resources are developed, as they will be
very soon, the goid diggings and quartz rock
will sink with comparative insignificance.
Look at it. It is said that the yield of gold from
the California mines for the current year will
reach the enormous sum of of fifty-five or sixty
j millions of dollars ! An enormous sum. truly;
j and yet we venture to say that the value of the
i hay crop alone of New York will fully equal it.
i Six counties of that State produced in 1850 800,-
j 000 tons of hay, which, at $7 per ton, would be
1 $5,600,000. This they do year after year, with
a gradual increase, and yet how few are seen
rushing to the meadows of Onedia, Jefferson,
; Chautauque, or St. Law
; renee ?
The wheat and corn fields of Ohio produce
annually more dollars than the gold mines of
California. Yet there is no noise made about it;
and, instead of thousands rushing to them in the
hope of growing suddenly rich, thousands have
been fleeing from them in search of gold—gold
—gold.
We hazard nothing in saying, that had the
emigrants to California, since the discovery of
gold there, gene instead to the rich lands of our
Western States, they could have produced double
the amount of all the gold dug from the mines of
that Ei Dorado. The capital necessary to place
a man in working condition in the Caiilornia
mines would have settled him comfortably on an
eighty acre lot in lowa, in a good cabin, with a
team, farming utensils, previsions, &c., and in
sured him, instead of a chance for a little gold, the
certainty of an independent position for life,
without the sacrifice of home, friends, health,
morals, and indeed all that men should esteem
valuable in life.
Thank heaven, the “ gold mania” is in its de
cadence, and the time is near when it will be
seen and known that every ounce of gold dust
dug from the California mines costs twice its
market value.
The Turkish War in London.
The following interesting letter is from G. San
ders, U. S. Consul at London, late editor of the
Democratic Review, written to the New York
Herald.
The money market here is comparatively ea
sy, establishing the fact that the fear of war cau
ses a more stringent money market than actual
war. True, none of the great Western Powers
are as yet involved, nor is it likely they will be
before spring. You will see by Nesselrode’s late
despatch, that Russia will do everything in her
power to confine the war to the narrow limits
of the provinces. Yet you must not come to the
conclusion that Russia can entirely control the
action of Europe. For I know that the Porte
has asked France and England to guarantee the
neutrality of Austria, alleging that it takes a
larger force to guard the rear Omar Pacha’s army
from a sudden attack of the Austrian army of
observation,than it would require to march to the
heart of Hungary. I also know that unless Aus
tua withdraws her forces or that England and
Fiance shall guarantee her neutrality,-that the
Porte has advised her that he will declare war
against her, and that she cannot be regarded as
neutral while she has a large army on his fron
tier, which requires an equally strong force to
watch.
We have advices that Kossuth’s agent was
openly received at Constantinople, and that the
Porte made no secret of the fact, that unless
Austria withdrew her armies from his frontier,
or that England and Fiance shall accede to his
demand for a guarantee of the neutrality of Aus
tria, Kossuth | will be invited to Constanti
nople and placed at the head of a strong division
to march on Hungary.
Captain Porter, of the Golden Age, and Mr.
Howard, the agent and owner, are now in Lon
don, and I understand that they have offers
which will p’obably result in their going to
Constantinople. Very respectfully,
Gko. N. Sanders.
Fine Sport.— The following from the Mobile
Register shows fine sport and good shooting :
A young Nimrod of our city—“ native here
and to the manor born”—mounted his pony on
Wednesday, after a very Jate breakfast, and re
, turned to his usual dinner with the pioduce of
his few hours sport being in all twenty-one
quail, a brace of English snipe, and a hearty ap
| petite. His only companions Were his dog and
, gun—the latter being the most effective talker
j of the party.
This was an*agreeable and requiting return
| for the little labor of a six hours ride through our
pleasant suburbs.

Prices in our Market. —We bear general
1 complaint abroad about the high price of poultry,
&c. The following prices current in our market
we think are not very unreasonable, when com
pared with the prices abroad—though we should
have no objection to a reduction, if our producers
can afford it. This morning Turkeys were sell
ing at from $1,50 to $3,75 per pair—about the
highest article we priced—but at this season, in
anticipation of luxuries for Christmas dinners,
the price is generally enhanced, fowls 50 to 75c.;
eggs 37ic. per doz.; ducks (tame) from $1 to
$1,37*; veal 8 to 12c.; mutton 8 to 12c.; Pork
12$ and beat 10 cts. per lb. The supplies gen
erally ample* Vegetables are also in lair supply
a* reasonable prices. Our house-wives complain
generall y of the high prices of groceries, but on
this subject we are not posted— Sav. Journal ,

\outhpul Insanity.— There are now about
200 in the New Jersey Lunatic Asylum. One
of the most interesting and at the same time
afflicting cases, is that of a little boy about 7
year* of age. Upon the entrance into the ward
of a little girl, about the same age, with a com
pany of sisters, the little patient became all life
and animation. He took the little girl by the
hand and ran with her to and fro, anxious to
show her every little article of taste or utility
in the room. The ladies, and indeed all the vis
itors, were deeply affected with this melancholy
incident. He is the youngest patient that the
institution ever had, and is exhibiting favorable
signs of improvement.
Rabun Gap Railroad. —We are pleased to
iearn that the bill proposing an issue of bonds of
the state to the Rabun Gap Railroad Company
to the amount of 400,000 dollars, has passed the
Senate by a vote of 13 to 9, in such shape as has
been desired by the friends of the road. The
tame bill also makes provision for a loan of the
bonds of the state to the Knoxville and Ken
tucky road and to the Knoxville and Nashville
road to the amount of SB,OOO per mile. What
will be the fate of the bill in the House of Rep
resentatives, we can only conjecture by the ac
tion of tiie Seriate.— Knoxville Register, 2nd inst.
AUGUSTA, GA.
TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6.
The President's Message.
We were in hopes of laying this important
document before our readers to-morrow morning,
should it be delivered in Washington to-day ,as we
were informed by telegraph that the principal
cities along the great mail line would be sup
plied with copies to be delivered te editors on re
ceipt of a telegraphic dispatch,announcing that it
was sent in to Congress; but up to last eve
ning the messenger had not reached this city,
or if he did, passed through without a copy being
left with our Postmaster. Georgia is called, by
general consent, the Empire State of the South,
and Augusta is on the great route of the West
ern Mail and Telegraph Line, and the third or
fourth distributing Post Office in the country.—
Her papers have as large, if not a larger circula
tion, than those of any city south of Washing
ton City, and as this is the first time she has
been passed by, we are at a loss to know the rea
son. Had copies been left with our Postmaster,
as formerly, we could have supplied our Tennes
see and Alabama subscribers with copies on
Thursday evening, through our weekly edition.
By the default of the Postmaster General, such
subscribers will not receive it through our paper
lor a week or ten days hence.
We dislike to complain of any apparent neg
lect on the part of those in authority, and would
hot now do so, were we only personally con
cerned. But we do not like to see a document
of so important a character as the President’s
Message, pass through a city of the magnitude
and importance of Augusta, where the great
Western Mail has to be stopped in transitu one
hour and three quarters.’to two hours,in order to be
distributed, and through which the Special
Agent hud to pass if he took the mail route to
reach New Orleans, and still our citizens and
the subscribers to our different editions, should
be debarred of the opportunity of perusing it,
as soon as the citizens of Charleston, Mobile
or New Orleans. If the city of Angusta is to
be passed through without notice, hereafter, we
hope the Post Master General will dispense with
the extra expense of sending Special Agents
with the Message. It is too important a point
to be left out of the schedule,and so far as Geor
gia, the upper part of South Carolina, lower
part of Alabama and Tennessee are concerned,
the present arrangement, although costly, will
prove of but little advantage.
Fire !
On Sunday evening, about 8 o’clock, our citi
zens were alarmed by the cry of Fire, which
was found to proceed from a one story
Dwelling in the lower part of the city, on
Greene street, near the old Hampton Course. It
was anew building, jnotiyet finished, and un
occupied. The fire was no doubt the work of an
incendiary. No further injury was sustained,
except the destruction of the building in which
the fire originated, which we understand was
owned by a Mrs. Brown.

Operations op the Mint. — The Treasurer
ol the Mint at Philadelphia has presented his
statement of the operations of that institution
for the month of November, just closed. By it
we learn that there has been $3,000,000 of gold
bullion deposited, and $380,000 of silver bullion.
A considerable amount of California gold arrived
too late to be included, and will be passed to the
deposits of the present month. The gold coinage
was $932,508, about one-half of which was in
double eagles, and the rest in gold dollars and
quarter eagles. There were no eagles or half
eagles coined. There were $827,979 conver
ted into gold bars. The silver coinage is gradu
ally running into pieces otthe larger denomina
tions—an indication that the channels of the re
tail trade are now pretty well supplied with
change. The coinage of the month of this
metal reached $870,000, the most of it in quarter
dollars and dinr.es. Os copper there were coined
268,844 cents, $2,638 44. The following is the
Treasurer’s tabular statement ot gold and silver
coinage :

The Rev. George W. Carawan, was tried be
fore the Superior Court of Beaufort county,
North Carolina, last week, in a case removed
from Hyde, for the murder of a young man
named Lassiter, in November last, who had been
teaching school near Carawan’s residence in
Hyde. He was found guilty.
The North State Whig of Wednesday, says:
Just as the crowd commenced to leave, a re
port of a pistol was heard, followed immediately
by another. Carawan had two self-cocking,
single barrel pistols. With one he aimed at Mr.
Warren. The ball struck just above his heart
and glanced, making but a slight, wound. With
the other he shot a hole through his own head.
As we are going to press, he lies a corpse in the
prisoner’s box, a good part of his brain having
run out upon the floor.
The loversot the legitimate drama, will hail
with pleasure, the opening of the Athenaeum on
Monday evening next, by Mr. and Mrs. Crisp,
and their talented company. Mr. Crisp has
claims upon this community aside from his tal
ent as an actor, and his success as a manager.—
He proposes to establish in our midst, a stage
upon which the drama will be properly repre
sented, and this not for a spason merely, but as a
permanency. He contemplates a thorough reno
vation and remodelling of the Athenaeum ; new
scenery, new and better seats, increase of its ca
pacity, and lastly, though not least, the annual
presentation of the finest play 3, for years to
come. We heartily wish him that success which
he deserves; we shall give him all the aid in our
power; and we have no doubt, but his generous
efforts will be responded to by theatre-goers, in
an appropriate manner.— Sao. Republican, 3d
