Russia in the meantime menaces Austria, and W the Czar has gone to Warsaw. Large Russian forces are concentrating on the Rustrian frontier, and there is but little doubt en tertained at Vienna that ere long there will be actual hostilities between the two powers. Austria. —Austria has concluded an immense financial operation, by which she has transferred to a company of capitalists all the railroads con structed and woikedby the government in Hun gary and Bohemia.

We give below, from the Delta, the particulars of a' fresh robbery, and detection of the rascal in the New Orleans Post Office—the socond detec tion in two months. Any more left of the same sort ? Another Post Office Embezzlement. —A young man named Robert A. Laponta, who has lor a long time been employed iu the mailing department of the city post-office, was yesterday morning arrested on a charge of taking money (gold coin) from a valuable letter—amount not j known. He is now in custody of the United Slates Marshal, and is held for examination be fore a Commissioner. It appears that persons have been in the habit of dropping valuable let ters into the general box, and several of these letters have been missing lately. There are but six persons employed in the mailing depart ment to attend that branch of the business, and are under the charge of the head cleik ot that department. 4*This gentleman determind to set a trap to detect the theif; and accordingly, yesterday morning, in looking over the letters in the box, he found one addressed “Smallwood k Co. Bal timore Md.” which was marked ‘ valuable,” and appeared to contain a considerable sum of money. He quietly took a copy of the address of this letter, and then placed it back in the box He then called youngXaponta, and told him to dis tribute the letters from the box—and waited without appearing to observe his actions till ha accomplished his task. The clerk then looked for this letter but it had disappeared. Laponta was observed to go off" to one side of the office, then take a sort of circuitous route, pass out and enter the privy. The circumstances was at once reported to the Postmaster who ordered him to be followed and searched. It was found he had locked the door on the inside. He was request to open the door, which he did. He was then searched, and a ten dollar bill found on his per son. It being rather dark in the privy, a light was procured and search instituted for the letter. Theenvelop was found, having throws it down the privy, and lodged on the side, it was identi fied by the clerk as the same he had seen in the box, and a copy of the subscription of which he had taken. The young man was at once hand ed over to. the officer Buellosa, of the Second District police, and locked up. Two Weeks Later from California. New \ork, Nov. 9.—The steamer North Star arrived this afternoon at 5 o’clock, from Aspin wall, bringing California mails to the 16th Octo ber. She connected with the Golden Gate, which was detained at San Francisco until 4 o clock, P. M. on the 16th, to enable merchants to answer letters received by the Golden Age.

She had on boaid 800 passen gers, besides her crew and firemen, when she struck the rocks, off Point Arguile, 15 miles above Point Conception. A heavy log hung upon the coast, which was tue cau?e ot the disaster. The captain supposed the steamer to be twenty miles from the coast at the time ol the disaster. The scene among the passengers is represented to have been awful, i fit teen of whom perished before they were res- ! cued.

See first page Daily, this morning. - W-\^ W The Banks of Augusta. * The conduct of these institutions at this june- I ture, certainly needs explanation. Their “in activity” at a time when Cotton is ready to pour into our city for sale, is anything but “mas terly,” and unless they abandon their timid, and with all due reverence be it spoken, short-sight ed policy in shrinking from freely furnishing to Cotton buyers facilities for purchasing the in coming crop, Augusta must lose her long es ! ablished title as the best inland market in the South for the Cotton planter. Every in terest among U 3 is promoted by a brisk Cot ton market, that of the Banks not excepted.— i Every interest droops and suffers when that market is languid and depressed. Every dollar now put into the hands of the planter from the sale of his Cotton, is paid out for supplies, or to j settle accounts and notes, and the Bank bills thus : set afloat pass from hand to hand, thus relieving | alike planter and merchant, and tradesman, to that extent of indebtedness, and they soon find their way back to the counters of the Banks that issue them. True, some of it comes back on them for Northern Exchange. But some too of it will come in payment or reduction of nqtes due them, while the rest will remain in the hands of the people to supply the needful circu lation of the tountry. The Banks should cer. tainly not object to the two latter modes of dis posing oi their bills, especially when they have so much paper lying over under protest, owing to the suspension of business during the epidem ic. Nor should they feel aggrieved at being called on for’Northern F.xchange, for every bale of Cotton bought with their bills will be imme diately on its way to the seaboard and to the North, to furnish means to meet the drafts pre dicated upon it, and thus to replace the funds checked upon. But the Banks complain, that their notes come back epon them before the Cot ton drafts which they have bought can mature. ; Granted; but are not the Banks paid for this dif ference in time by the discount and premium of : exchange, which is their legitimate profit in the operation. But they may say they have no ; Northern funds to check upon, and that if they cannot furnish exchange for their bills when called on, they must pay out coin, and that if they pay out all their coin they must shut up shop. Granted again. But why have they not got Northern Exchange? Because, we sup pose, Ist. they put out their bills last spring and summer for business and accommodation pa per, and their bills have come back on them for j redemption, which has exhausted their Northern I Exchange, while the notes remain unpaid—that their assets, in the shape of Northern Exchange, are absorbed, and those in the shape of discount ;ed notes are still on hand. 2d. Because their di vidends to stockholders were too large, being | founded on prospective, not realized profits.— 1 These dividends were large, perhaps too large,— those of one Bank enormous, and being paid in their own hills, these bills came back al most immediately on them for redemption Having thus improvidenfly acted in this la3' pyr ticular, they are like squeezed lemons. They are short of cash. Their Northern Exchange and specie together are not sjfficient to justify a free issue of their bills now that Cotton is seek ing purchasers in our market. We do not say this system of depletion for the sake of pocketing large dividends before they are earned is like killing the goose to get at the gulden eggs, that we read ot in .fisop’s Fables j but it somewhat resembles the practice of little boys.Avho plug their water-meions while grow ing, to see if they are ripe. But if the Banks have but little specie and less Northern exchange, does it to flow that it is their duty, or their best policy to decline business and let Cotton remain a drug in our warehouses- That it would suit the individual policy ol some few who are always glad to see cotton go down, and are always ready and able , favored souls, to buy when cotton is lowest, their diafts being never refused, we promptly concede. But is it the policy of the Banks to decline business for the above reasons? If so, then the sooner it ts so announced the better. Then foreign capital should be invited here without delay to buy the j planter’s produce anl speed it forward to the | manufacturers. Then the Carolina Banks should ; be appealed to, to do what they did last winter, to-wit; send their Bills here, buy the cotton, supply the field of circulation the Augasta Banks were afraid to occupy, and reap the consequent profits lor themselves. To our planters and our merchants it matters little whether they are paid for their cotton and goods in Georgia Money or South Carolina Money. But it is of some im portance to them, that, if the Augusta Banks are i inadequate to their position and the just expec tations of the community, it should be promptly i announced. We cannot conceive it to be good policy for j the Banks to decline the business opening to, and ! inviting them. We will not argue tL is point,! ; for if they dispute it the reply is, why then do ; | you not surrender your charters and go into liquidation ? If you do not deem it safe or pro- i finable to carry on the business, lor which banks ! were chiefly created at the South, you are of no 1 benefit to the commnni'y and cannot continue long profitable to Stockholders—even the busi- ! ness of shaving Southern paper in Northern cities will prove an inadequate resource. It may be asked, how can they do business if i they have not on hand sufficient specie or Nor j them exchange to sustain the requisite circula- I | tion ? We answer, borrow the money. Is pot j their credit good in Ne v York? Can they not raise the wind in Wall street, and place to their credit in New York a fund sufficient to meet de mands made on them during the brief interval between ’he discount of cotton drafts and their 1 maturity in Savannah, Charleston and New York? But,they \vill have to pay for the use of money . thus borrowed, or pay interest on overdraws upon the New York Banks they deal with ? True ; I but *vhy should they shrink from taking a little !of their own physic? With the vast advantage the law gives them of issuing three paper dollars ! for every silver one, or its representative, con stituting their capital, can they not make good use of money borrowed even at New York rates. ! Even if their paper were not considered •'‘hot j pressed, gilt-edged and rose scented ,” they would not have to submit to a very cruel shave. Were the Banks of Augusta to borrow about $400,000 in the aggregate, this woulfcaffbrd a suf ficient fund on which to justify the opening of an active Cotton business, and the extension of all : proper facilities. It at least would set the ball in motion. What would the use of thft fund for a few weeks cost the Banks ? Would not the cost be far more than made up by the enlarged busi ness, by the healthy stimulus given to every in terest, by the means it could throw into the hands of their debtors to pay up to the Banks by I the restored activity to every pursuit now in a and depression ? Scffce®f our Banks are, perhaps, willing to do in thHpiatter what is right and proper, and there less difficulty it' there could be bar- ' mony and concert of action. But if a spirit of ! antagonism rules their counsels, and they watch I e&clppier with a view to take advantage of j eacff in the present embarrassment of all, I themJfvesand the whole community must suf- i fer. ~ It cannot be otherwise than the interest of the Banky'or our city to prosper, taking an enlarged ; view Sf. results. It is true a more contracted policjjflll often prompt Boards of Directors who I look flfcard only to a large dmdend six months 1 ahead,, to disregard for that end every other in- I terestjifd sometimestempt to a misappropiiation ! of the funds and credit of a Bank. Again, the re- ! action of timidity following a voracious spirit of : moneymaking may equally oppress, by with- j holding accommodations and reducing circulation. | Money becomes scarce, property goes down, se- ■ curities unavailable, a thriving business and in- j dustrious habits powerless to obtain loans, and meritorious citizens driven to the wall, or forced j to unreasonable sacrifices. Now, Banks incur a heavy responsibility to public Jfcinion, who bring on these evils by their own qpjfiduct. They are the creations of the legislat|je will. They enjoy extraordinary privets, granted by the geneiosity and confi dence oft he people, and they are amenable to a larger ■onstituency than a mere conclave of stocKhUkiers for the manner in which they oper ate on the great pecuniary interests cf the country. The error is as gross for the managers of Banks to indulge in false and idle fears as in false secur ly* Tae consequences of sudden and unreason able panic are as injurious as reckless confidence. The aggregate loss to the people in toe deprecia tion of property, the sacrifice of produce, the de pression of mercantile interests, and the cramp ing of every pursuit, is quite as great as from the occasional burst-up of a too greedy and aspiring Bank. Indeed Banks sometimes yield to internal fears rather than to an outward pressure. They originate panics by which every body is injured oftener than they fail victims to, or become en dangered by panics originating out of doors. Now, the question is presented—ls there reasonable ground for the panic evidently pre vailing among the Banks of Augusta, and dicta ting their present do nothing policy. We cannot ' perceive it There are able writers among the Directors ; and, if their course can be vindicated, they could do their institutions a service by making this to appear. It is conceded that there ate commercial ' embarrassments in England, and in the North. The European war is absorbing large sums of ’ specie, and causing heavy exports from England to the Continent, and from the United States to England. But Australia is replenishing the English coffers, and California is supplying the North Atlantic States. In the meantime, what > should the Southern Banks fear, <*hen- there is, at present, low prices? One hundred millions of dollars worth of cotton are now picked out, 1 | or soon wiil be, and much of which will soon be ’ j pressing forward to market. Here is a fund I | equal to specie, or at least approaching nearer thn uses#! specie than any other commodity on which Banks predicate their operations. This’’ is the resource for northern and sterling exehangf, which ought to inspire some confi dence ii fhe'tuture among our Banks. We would not have indulged in these com ments under any ordinary stringency in the ; monetary affairs of this community. The Banks | here often refuse to discount the best business paper, which being payable at their own count | ers, affords no opportunity for charging on it than seven per cent. They still oftener refuse to discount accommodation paper for the same reason, though the applicants be customers who, in other ways, contribute to their heavy di vidends wrung from the business of the commu nity. But these occasions pass by unnoticed in the newspapers, because they operate usually as | but individual inconveniences—at least the want of a more liberal policy in this respect is a less ! radical injury to the great agricultural and com -1 mercial interests on which the prosperity ot our ' city depends. ; But when we learn that good bills on Charles ton, at twenty days, have been refused by our Banks, and Cotton buyers have consequently been kept out of our market, it is time to speak out. At the same time, persons at a distance can borrow very large sums at 3 months. It seems that the further a man lives from Augus ta the more mono) he can borrow. This looks like offering a premium to our merchants to move away, and it would seem as if a residence , in a small Village, in Tennessee or Alabama, j would afford acjtizen, now struggling with dis , Acuities, facilities in raising money that he j would vainly sigh for heie. The planter is en j titled to a fair notice of this state of things, that : he may make other arrangements to raise moneys i or seek other markets in which to sell his j produce. We were, perhaps, premature in our invita -1 tion to the planters to push forward their crops to this market; for it seems they are to meet a less coidial reception than they are entitled to, | and less cordial than it would be the pleasure of i Warehousemen and Cotton buyers to extend to them, had they the proper facilities for carrying | on the great fundamental business of this city. ! We hope soon, however, to report a more sat i isfactory state cf things. Treatment of Mr. £oule by the French Government. i The petty spite of the French Emperor, in re fusing the admission of Mr. Soule into France exhibits a poor and contemptible spirit. It must have arisen either trom resentment at his Ambassador, Mr. Turgot, being shot in the leg, and the Due D’Alba, brother-in-law to the Em press, being humiliated, or it springs from fear of the consequences of his own treachery to the principles which placed him in power. A few i years ago, the present Emperor was a profligate* a rouA, and an adventurer—a bankrupt alike in character and credit. His sole fortune was a name honored by the deeds of his great uncle, and dear to the hearts of the French people, and the inherited gifts of talents, energy and indornit able will. With these, aided by unscrupulous dernagoguism and intrigue, and lavish profesfcions of devotion to popular lights, he attained his present lofty, but precarious position. Now-, the spectacle of a French refugee from Bourbon des potism, in early manhood forced by his bold avowals of Republican sentiments and hopes to fly from Paris, returning to Paris as the honored representative of the freest nation in the world, is a reproach and a mortification to the betrayer of the liberties and hopes of the Freneh people. The conduct of the French Emperor m this affair may affo-d him a transient gratification ' or at b"«t free uim from the evidences which Mr. Soil ’s appearance might have called forth of | po, u admiration of the political principles I wn i typified in our Minister’s career and pm- p si’ion. But it will not teud to make ' despotism more popular in France, or propitiate <■ American sentiment towards tlje policy which animates French counsels, and employs its! arms. n Our City. Augusta now presents almost enlivening ap | pearanee, as contrasted with its aspect during j the late epidemic. Business in all its branches j has been resumed, and our streets are once more ; filled, as usual, by those engaged in the pursuit of trade. Every day since the cessation of the fever, crowds of absentees have been flocking in, and every day the prospect has brightened. On i Monday, our ears were greeted, for the first time for many weeks, with the sound of martial music. It proceeded from the bind attached to | one of the most efficient of our Engine Com- I panies, ‘ The Washington, No. 1, Capt. Tischer, a | company composed ot our hardy German citizens. | They turned out a large number of active and i energetic men, who are still willing to do, as | they always have done, Yeomens duty in case j their service should be required. After marching ; up Broad street, the company halted in front of ! the store of the Chief ineer, and displayed j their skill and the force ot their engine in a rinost ; satisfactory manner.
