The ie-s kmn-nttible affair to which we have ad
verted occurred nt Jackson, Miss., on the 15thtu*r.
It uppears that Gov, McNutt was contemptuously
spit upon by It. L. Dixon, the clerk nftlw Chancery
Court, somo few weeks since, nml that one A. J,
1’nxtor thought it tube his duty in the public pu-
l>or# to wipe of ||;e stain. This was the origin of
the oftirir, and here is the sequel us given in the
Natchex Courier. It is an extract front a letter da
ted Jackson, Kith May. We would wishloal-ridge
it, imt there is such u chain nf citvtttnrtancc* that
we cannot well do so. Tho writer snys:
Un yesterday, R. I.. Dixon, the clerk oftheChan
cery Court, attacked A. J. I’iixt<-n in the Rotunda
of the Capital, nnd gave hint a very severe caning,
for nml on necountofn publication ofl’uxton’swhich
nppenred in the Misstssippinn of the 3d lust. Judge
McKinley of the U. S. Conn, (then in session in the
capitol,) fined Dixon $500 for contempt of court.
In the evening Mr. l’nxton nr.d Ids friends, about
twenty in number, prepared, for tm attack 011 Dix
on, hy arming themselves with guns and pistols.and
placed themselves in n house hy which D. wo* most
sore to puss in going to Id* office. D. hearing of
this, prepared himself for defence hy taking his
stand in the street, where he stood for hull’an hour,
when l*. scot him a challenge, which D. would not
accept, assigned ns hi* reasons, that he had n lucra
tive office, and should he accept it challenge, he
would lose jt, ord by the law debarred front the pri
vilege of ever again holding an office in the State.
I’axton then canto out and commenced advancing
on Dixon, w ho told hint llun if he advanced further
it would la* nt the risk of hi* life, nt which I’, stop-
|*ed nod denounced D. and then retired, when the
crowd almost simultaneously shouted “HiinaJifor
Dixon " I lent the umtti r of yesterday scents like

But tliia cuming Judge McKioh y of the V

The “Hurrah fm Dixon" given nlsive,shows pu t

Ill: 1«S^IIKADY MONEY SYSTEM.
That the “credit system" i#carried to ngrentcr
extent in tho United Slates, than In any oilier coun
try on tlm face of the glolm, will, w« Imlievo, be
conceded without argument. Now.it is notour
present purpose to inquire, whether thi# is to Imnt-
tribute.! to tlm extreme honesty of our people, ns
distinguished iilmvo those of all other nations, or
simply Imcanso we commenced on rreilit when
money was M-nrco during tho revolntionuiy con
test, nnd hnvo never ln-en nldo to rid ourselves of
tlm“ had hahil" since. We will leave tlm question
for more profound philosophers than we pietcnd to
lie, to determine. Wo belie.0 though, that in no
brunch of business has the system heen enrried to a
more disastrous length, than in tho newspujier line.
Everywhere, hut In Americn, newspupers nro cash
articles—they are paid for in advance, In tho pro
vincial towns, or bought hy single copies in tho largo
ami populous cities, by those who do not wish to
subscribe hy the year.
It wani'd, indeed, Im well, if this plan was gener
ally adopted. In thi* country', where the price of a
newspaper is a mere trifle, because knowledge Is
not taxed as it i# in Europe, nnd no censorship exist*,
but that of pul lie opinion, there is really no excuse
fqr those win neglect to pay for n newspaper.
Public journals h ive long since become almost ns
necessary to salLfy tho mental, a* food is essential
to still the cravings oftlm physical appetite. When
iliev liavo nttuined this position, it surely lies with
their proprietor* tlioinsclves, to inako their own
terms: and hy concert of action, they must succeed.
Wo despair, however, of anything effective being
.done wilhout n complete reform in tho present
system. Nothing will do this, until proprietors of
newspapers absolutely refuse to lot any person Imvo
paper until Im pays lor it. By this plain nnd
-piitalde course, nil immense saving will he nmdu
to proprietors of public journal*. 1 bey will hnvo
ore menus to gratify thoir readers, and tlm dicln- r< ' C1 '
rial—consequential nir of patronage—on which
e press in its present condition i* servilely com-
•lied to irail—will in a great measure he dnnn
away with, nnd the press left, in fact und indeed, n
'frer agent.' 1
Besides, tho wages oftlm operative# in n printing
ifice, must be pail in cash, weekly—therefore
*!i payment* are absolutely necessary to meet tbo
demand.
Tbo following, from the Baltimore Post, will
ihmv that we are not alono in our sentiments. Wo
are glad to see -‘the ball in motion."
Co.vimtion or Tii k Purs*.—The condition of tho
vps iii thi#country, in reference to tbo system of
discriminate credit on which it has been so gener
ally conducted, is beginning to engage tho intention
•film conductor# of journals in various parts of tbo
aimitry. The system, llm Philadelphia North
American remark*, “is injurious lmtli to the pul--
dn-r* and to those subscribers who pay. Tho
amount of money llm* lost would, if expended
the paper a* it might have been, have increased its
tmeliveness an hundred fold. It is a fuel which
i unit vouch for, that there nre standing on the
books of a large establishment* in nil tidjniu-
iog city, bud debts to the amonnl of $100,000,
uni 011 those- of nnnthcf to the amount of
$(!(),000. These arc but two instance# which
ve fallen under nor own observation, und there
> doubtless many papers in tbo cmnilry which
old present a long ami appalling array of delin-
I'ticii-s. The press would Im rendered more in
dependent by nensh system, nnd would avoid many
mutations which are cast upon it.
in Loudon this system is universal; the papers

are In this country."

Sir:—
My attention has boon drawn tn some remarks in
the Charleston Courier of Monday last, over the sig*
nature of'"Charleston," in relation toiho recent call
ofthe Bank of C barb's I on for specie,upon the Bnnks
of this city. He professes himself 44 glad of the op
portunity to place the matter iu n Imsiimss like point
of view." It is not nty desire to enter into n con
troversy with the writer, Imt to mnko n few plnin
remark# rn what 1 e hns snid, nnd in the course of
Miesc remarks in give nn unvarnished statement of
1 he farts. I give every credit to “Charleston," for
t ho plausible manner in which he hns stated the
case. IIo is in error on tho subject, or Inis boon
misinformed ns to the fuels connected with tho oil
»f the Bank of Charleston, on the IMunicrs’ Bank
of this city. I do not mean to dispute the right of
the Bunk of Charleston, to demand specie for any
claims it mny accumulate on the Bank* of this, city
unless some understanding to tho contrary exist#
Courtesy, however, when Bank* collect for each othl
er ha* dictated a different course, especially a# tho
collection account is ono not free from trouldo or
risk. Tho writer argue* that fund# in Charleston
nre ntnn appreciation; in other words, that in Geor
gia cheek* un Charleston, command a premium. If
this lie so, why is it that tho Bank of Charleston re
fuses #iieh fund# except,u n discount ? How is it,
compelled, ns she is, to get back 44 her funds ns she
can," that she decline* payment nt her own
doors. Would it ho not only more lutsinest
like, but certainly polite, (considering tbnt tho
Bank of Charleston has nlw-nys hnd a difficul
ty in concert ing its Savannah funds,) nt once
to hnvo received rhreks on itself? As tn tho
difficulty of converting its Savannah funds, I
speak ndvLcdlv, when I say thnt the ncromit*

Mr. Editor,—Hliving given somo aUeiitioti tpthq
siihj.Tt of difference between one ofthe city Bunk#
and the Bnnks iu Suvunnnh, I am glad oftlm oppor
tunity uffnrdcil hy tho publication in tho Courier of
the uriie.le Ittmi lho Snvnnnuh Georgian, 'to pluco
this matter in a plain husincss-liko point of view.
The Bunk of Charleston collects for tho Planters'
Bank of Savannah, and tlm latter reciprocate# hy
colled ing for the Bunk of Charleston. This hitler,
liistilntimi keeps two account# with all it* corte#-
potiding Bank*; one iu which the corresponding
Dank is charged with tlio fluids collected hy it, and
another iu which it gets credit for tho Charleston
fluids collected for it by the Bank here. Tlm pro-,
prii'ly of keeping tin* necount# ill this way will Ikj
l-cudcn d very obvious hy the following explanation.
A Bank iu G-orgia, for inslanrr, will liavo lit it*
credit on the hoot# ofthe Daub ol'Cliurlestim, $50,-
QflO for fund* collected here, nnd nt its debit- $5(1.-
0H() for fund* collected hy it in Macon, (we will say)
fin- account nf too Bank ln*re. Now it would nevrt
occur to either Bank to oil'sett these amounts in ac
count. 'I he funds ofthe Bank in Miinui would hq
worth to it a juvmimu of perhaps I.] per cent,wldlo
the liimlsof lim Bank of Charleston had probably
been placed in Macon ill a discount nf 1 (per cent.
The practice therefore is for each Bank to check for
its own funds, or in 01 lie; words, to get them back in
the best way it enn, as nt-ilhcr Bank umlcrtujicti to
oolloc.l and remit. Exchange having hern for seve
ral years in favor nf Charleston throughout Genre
gin, the Institutions in the latter Stale have laid no
difficulty in getting hack their funds; check:* 011
Cliarleslou being constantly in ilennmd nod ul pro;
mimn; but nn the other Inmd Georgiu funds, furtive;
ry olivi iis ivasotij have not heen equally convertible,
and the Banks ol this city found it accessary In send
an agent almost every week into Georgia, to snltlq
with the I list ilul inns of thnt State. The terms mndq
hy tlm Bank of Charleston in the settlement* Imvo
always been oft 1a* most liberal character, ns it is liTNy
Jieved, the Georgia Banks generally will bear testi-
m ay. ,
This explain* the origin nnd eecos. i'y of Heading
nn :ig* nt ali-oad. To relation tn .he particular tern’s
nf settlemei.t tillered the .'uivanniih Bnuk. some fur
ther explnirilion i* necessary, in that city, it ha#
heen hitherto rasinmnry for llm Banks to receivo at
their counters in payment, the bill* nf nil tho intcring
UmiksofGeorgia, in consequence ofwhich, Savannah
fimil# were always nt tho B.vmo discount ns Macini
funds: Imt dating the past winter tho Snvnnnuh
Banks rofu-icr) tn receive any bull heir own or Ail
gits'a Bank Bills either iu pnyment or on deposito,
nnd the result of this measure wiis n rapid appreci
ation of .Savannah funds, which nro now til par iq
this city. Under these circumstances un offsett ac
count between corresponding Banks in,tlm two i
ties would lie the most equitable nnd convenient,but
this appreciation of Snvnmmli funds is lull recent—
tlm Bank of Charleston litis'ulw-ays hud great diffi
culty in converting its Snvnnunli funds:—has never,
tlipnght itself entitled tn nsk tin uflselt iti account
and such offsett was tendered hy the Snvnnunli
Banks. Of lire, u largo portion of the demand*
against Savannah consisted of Bills taken on depos
it!: hy the Banks here at pur. Those Billsweregc-
la'iully three or four weeks nccmuuhiting to mi n-
monnt sufficiently largo to justify tlm expense of
sending an agent to coUec.lthem, and this cireunre
slaiu-e, together with what litis been already said,
will explain tho rensonulilonr## qftho terms offered
hy the Bank of Charleston. When tho agent of this
Institution appeared iu Savannah with Snvnmmli
funds, la* wn* tlmre at the expense of his Bank,w ith
n fund of gold and silver. Wlmt did ho offer 7 Hq
ollered to redeem in Suvnnnnh with coin, tho Bills
of his own Bank, defraying himself tho expense off--
going to Snvniiunhtodu so, when those Bills ntq
only redeemable at the cooler nf tho Bank of Chare
lesion. Ho offered to giro Coin for Charleston
fund* at j per cent discount. That the funds hop;
pencil tn ho in his own Bank did not alter the prin^-
ciple. The Bank of Churk'r.tnn hnd received for
tlnwo very collections, Bill* of tho Bank# in Snvan-
nnh & Augusta, Bills of thu - Hamburg, Camden,
Columbia, Cheraw nml Georgetown Bnnks—-nm]
what dirl the Savannah Bank require at its bunds t
Why, that the Bnult ofChurleston should net only
.culled and concentrate tho fund# from all thosq
points, hut actually at its own expense nnd for tii
nccc.ni modal ion ami advantage of the Savnonali
Bank, sent tin Agent to Savannah, to hand over thd
nmmmr to the Cashiers therein gold and river oi;
its equivalent, free of nil charges and expenses!—
Now we venture to snv that a more preposterous no-i
lion than this never wn# entertained, nnd tho won
der is, while our good friends-in Savannah were up-’
hniiiling the Bank of Charleston for refusing to
send an Agent to Savannah, to entry them gold nnd
silver for their collodions, it never occurred to them
11s somewhat strange that they should feel hostile nt
giving the same terms they were so strenuous
in demanding for themselves. If tho Bank o(
Charleston hnd w ritten to the Planters' Bank, suit
ing that there wns n Imlanco against tbo hitter of
$80,000, ami requesting that nn Agent should bq
sent to Charleston at the expense and risk of thq
Savannah Bonk, to bring $80,000 of ChnrleMon
fund* |o liquidate the debt with, and to take bnclc
also at their risk, the Suvnnunh fund#, nil thiswoulc}
have appeared highly ridieulnu* iu tho eye# of our
worthy neighbor#, nnd yet this is precisely tho «ct;
Dement required nt our hands by tbo Savanmdj
