The Banks and the Currency.
From the year 1790, when cotton made its small
beginning* m the Carolines ahd Georgia ~,, to
IS IO, it was paid for in gold and silver in Geor
p‘ a - tl . ie >ear 181 °. our present banking
system was inaugurated, and bank paper and bank
credits seized upon cotton as their victim. During
ihe hrst two decades of its history, from 1790 to
Wl° P r,ces ! ur co!, °” rul ‘‘d high, the average price
lor that time being one-half greater than the aver
age price any twenty years since. In those first
ten y yea is we had a specie basis, ,md the nnce
of cotton fluctuated but little. 1„ ißloour bai.kioe
system took its rise, and since then the price of
c-'tton has been constantly fluctuating, and its aver
age price lowering. ’Tis true, w hen the deluge
oi blood hi Curope subsided alter its last great es
lesion at Waterloo, and the ports and commerce of
Emopc were opened to our cotton, prices showed
a spasmodic increase tor a time. Again, in 1825
prices bounded up to a high tigure, bv the power
ot a mad speeuiatioft, stimulated by the banks but
suddenly fell, engulphing thousands on this ’side
the Atlantic in rum.
But the trut.c ot history is, cotton was high and
prices s'end last before we had banks, and has ruled
lower and prices fluctuated ever since. lfm,, v
body doub s. o-t him ask the few veteran colt u
p.anters >tiil living, wlto basked and grew rich in
the golden dispensa ion previous to 1810. It any
body doubts, let -uch skeptic refer to McCullough’s
Commercial Dictionary, the highest amhoiiy in
matters ol trade and commerce. In that Dictiona
ry he will find a table ot the prices of cotton in
England and the United States horn 1790 to 1835,
predicated upon the report made to the Congress
<>f United States by the Secretary of the Treas
ury- This tabic ol pr ees u, McCullough, demon
strates my proposition, that after 1810 cotton has
l„ en tailing,falling, up to 1835, in ns average price.
Since 1834 up to the present time we all know the
average price has been gradually lowering, and sub
ject all the rime to tire most sudden, capricious and
ruinous lluct at iore . Perhaps someone may suggest
the production lias none ahead ol the consumption.
But just the reverse is true—the consuriipt on has
shot ahead of the production. So much so, that
ail England is alarmed; the Manchester cotton
spinners are earnestly crying out tor more cotton,
and backed by th English Cabinet, are seeking to
stimulate its growth in ditfereru parts of the globe,
they may torui associations and spend money like
water, and yet our own glorious South, blessed oy
Heaven with the soil and emirate suitable to grow
the snowy staple, will bid defiance to all compe
tition.
Under the present system, two great interests are
in the field, controlling and depressing the price of
cotton. One is American and the other Emopean
('he is the American speculators and the Other is
the European speculators and spinners. Betwei n
these formidable powers the c- tton planters are
shorn of their precious fleece with the meekness of
lambs. Many ot them actually bless the keenly
whetted shears which rob them of their silken
textured fleece. The American speculators ait
mainly composed ot bank directors, stock hold i-,
or men who are the petted favorites ol hanks.—
Their cry in the f.II of I lie year is ever, col on is too
high and must tail. A more p.- I'u! instrument
ality ism their hands—hat is, one winch giindsi ut
bank hiils. Jl cotton seems a tittle obstinate and
won’t fall, these lordly operators stop discounts and
relire from the market. They control the banks,
and (tie price of cotton is dependent on bank ac
commodations, and so when.they stiul doors on the
staple, down it tumbles to a point to where they can
buy to suit themselves. On the other side of the
Atlantic, the spinners and speculators, like old grey
spiders, quietly and lazily watch tor their prey.—
They understand two things very well—first, that
they have got the money power ; and, secondly,
that the system of moving the crops by bank cred
its must brine cotton under that power sooner or
later. And so it does, and so it will do to tire end ot
the chapter. John Bull controls at last, and Man
chester and Liverpool give laws to the cotton trade.
Englishmen become millionaires from cotton profits,
and usually American speculators, after robbing
the planters of lair pric- s, become bankrupts.
Two grand and grievous wrongs are inflicted
upon cotton planters under this system. First, it
establishes the price ot cotton a* the will and pleas
ure of those whose interest it is always to make
money by depressing it. The consumer really
controls the price, and the producer has to take
just what the consumer will give. England is -he
great purchaser of cotton, though of late years
France. Belgium, and other parts of Eutope have
considerably increased its manufacture. 8o it may
be said England rules cotton and the cotton trade.
She rules it hy her immense capital—but she rules
it most especially because the hulk of the cotton
crop is carried to her marts by hills of exchange,
which have to bo met, and she knows full well the
cotton must be sold to meet these bills. She has
everything then her cw n way. Instead of having
to send her ships laden with treasure to buy our
cotton, she compels our eotion to go to her, and
then tixes the price she will give. And all this is
brought about by banks and bank operations. Such
a tiling never was before known in all history—
Rome, in the full blaze of her imperial splendor,
had te send to Egypt and Sicily for grain; and
England—this same England who buys our cotton
at her own price—is this day sending her ships in
to all parts of the world tor the other vast produc
tions, w hieh go to feed and swell her magnificent
commerce.
But a still more outrageous wrong inflicted on
the cotton planters by this system is the entire over
throw of the great law of supply and demand.—
In all Christendom or heathendom this law regu
lates the price of all articles of commerce except
cotton. If grain crops fail or arc short, bread is
high—if the sugar cane is diseased, sugar and mu
lasses are high—if the vineyards ot the Rhine and
the South of France are blighted, wines and bran
dy rise, and so of everything else but cotton. The
farmers may encounter disastrous seasons, or rava
ging insects—the crop may thus be cut oti one
third, and yet prices are uiuh-t a power that can
and will force them down. Who dor-snot remem
ber he fate of the crop of 1839 ? It was half a
million of hales “hort, and vet a combination be
tween the bank of England,’ the provincial banks
and the British spinners, brought down the price
one-he If. The cotton was in their warehouses —
just easy and convenient—and the bills drawn upon
it had to be met, and so by drawing the doors ot
the banks down, down, almost shut, astute John
Bu i bought this short, by far the shortest crop ev
er grown, at his own price.
But this is not all. Our cotton must now bow
submissively down to ail ot John Bull s mishaps,
tad luck or misfortunes. Is John’s harvesting bad
breadstuff's likely to be dear, our cotton must suffer
—is John engaged in expensive wars, prompted ei
ther by defence, the greed of gain, or the lust of em
pire, down goes our cotton —is there a panic sha
king Threadoeedle Street like an ague a strong
man, caused, as it is just now, by the suspension ot
the American banks, up pops the rate of interest,
and down pops the price of cotton. And when is
this horrible state ot tilings to cease ? Never, tiev
er.by the eternal, until the. banking system is abro
gated—the home market controls the price ot cot
ton, and we compel the world to come and buy
from us at our own prices. Calhoun.
The Inauguration of the Monument of Gen. Worth
Funeral Oration.
Wednesday, the 25th of November, was a day
glorious to our city, in that she discharged a sad
and triumphant duty to one of our national heroes,
the late Major General Win. J. Worth. Ihe air
was clear and bracing and the sun bright, but the
weatb. r remarkably cold and nipping. Early in
the morning the military paraded at the Battery,
and about noon the length of Broadway was lined
by a crowd of expectant spectators of the grand
futi u rai pomp. ,
The delay in the march was the only drawback
s o the etfect of the ceremonies. At from 2to 3
o’clock in the afternoon the coup d'ceil, from any
elevated point on Broadway, was magnificent. Ihe
street as far as the eye could reach in either direc
tion seemed filled with human beings. In the cen
tre the military uniforms, and the flashing bayonets
and sashes of the troops were seen fringed on
each side with the dark masses of the people.
Ju-t as the last rays of the setting sun gilded the
‘■•tty spire of the Church on Madison Square, the
?"ard of honor having in charge the ashes ot the
General reached the monument. The coffin, with
its pall richly emblazoned with military and mason
ic emblems, was reverentially deposited in the
sepulchre, at w hich time the Rev. Dr. Vinton per
formed the service for the dead of the Episcopal
Church, the Masonic dedication followed hy the
Deputy Grand Master of the State, Robert Macoy.

address. It is an appropriate tribute to the patri'-t

As Major of the city, it was his pecu’iar pro

Bank of Hamburg.
In ihe August i Constitutionalist of Saturday the follow
ing communication appeared from Dr. J. VV. Stokes the
President of the Bank of Hamburg:
Mr. Editor—My attention has been called to an article
tn your paper of the 2d inst., in which you stale that the
banks ot Augusta have refused to receive the bills of the
Bank ot Hamburg, South Carolina.
A ou will please do me the justice to insert an extract ot
a letter addressed through their secretary to the Presidents
of the Augusta Banks on the 27th ultimo:
“I propose to redeem the circulation of this Bauk, held
hy the Augusta banks;‘weekly, by sight on Charleston at
I P ar > a nd when I have no exchange, to pay interest at the
rate ol seven per cent, per annum, reciprocally with the
i c > l y hanks, until lam in funds to check.”
I his reasonable proposition, in my judgment, they
j unanimously rejected, demanding of me unconditionally.
• ■'•even per c ut. interest on balances, and in cone* quence of
! m y re 'u-al to come to terms, they now attempt to discred
it the Bibs of the Brink ot Hamburg.
A discerning public will do u- justice.

GRAND jury PRESENTMENTS.
GEORGIA, MUSCOGEE COUNTY.
r IMiE first panel of the Grand Jury lor the November
JL Perm, 1857, of Muscogee Superior Court, beg leave
to make the following general presentments.
We have ascertained that there are 891 childreu in the
county entitled to the benefit of the tree school fund
We have examined the condition ol the public roads,
and find them (with some exceptions) in Jgoud order. The
Old rft. Mary’s Road is very much out of repair and much
neglected. The road from Schumpert’s Mill, on the Oitl
Expiess Road, is aso out of repair. The Bridge over Bull
Creek on the 6t Mary’s Road—also the one on Guily
Branch, the one tho Talbot ion Road, and two’of
those on the River Road, near Jefieisou Riggeis’ are in a
dilapidated condition, and need the immediate attention of
the proper authorities.
We find the Jail in a condition creditable to iho Jailor,
though in our opinion the building needs considerable im
provements; the rooms are poorly ventillated and are des
titute ol any means ol warinug them. The interior ar
raugement ol th- 4 prison admits of no difference in the
treatment ot the various claves of offenders confined
therein. We respectfully request that this {should be rem
edied.
Wehave examined the books in the offices of ihe Cleiks
of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and find than fully j
written up, as well as neatly and correctly kept, as also
books of the county. Treasurer, hy which we find ihe 1
receipts since the la.~t examination to be $2,660 70, and the j
expenditures $3,666 89, leaving in his hands a balance ol |
$24 43.
We respectfully suggest io ihe Legislature of the State
now iu session, the abolition of all laws on the subject ot j
Usury, and allowing monies, like other values, to be regu- j
la led by the supply and demand.
Wo find that during tho progress ol the repairs now rna- ‘
king on cite Court House cupaio and root, the building has j
been left m aa uncovered and expo ed condition, and that j
the recent heavy rams have reached and damaged the i
ceilings and cornices in both aiories, thus increasing con- j
siderahly the expense ot the repairs. We regret that the |
Interior Cturtshould have sufiered the work tope com- |
meuced and prosecuted to tins tune without taking bond
and security for the faithful performance thereof, as re- i
quired iu their advertisement lor proposals in August last.
In view of the manliest injustice which frequently re
sults to our community by a population which hangs
around our court room for the purpose of being caught on
the jury aa talesmen,‘who are incompetent to attend to i
their owu private affairs, and seek this position lor the |
compensation attached to it,) wheieby they are made com
petent in law’ to adjudieafe great legal 4 queeiioUo, frequent- |
Jy involving the lives and hoerties of the citizen —we re- j
spectiully urge upon our Senator and Replesentat.ves ihe
propriety of having a law passed by the pre.-eut Legisla
ture restricting the servicejoi all jurors tojonly on eg week,
and that without atiy compensation whatever*
In taking leave of his honor Judge Worriil, we cannot
foibear the expression of our opinion ol the dignity, abiliiy
aud courtesy with which he lias dischaiged the onerous
duties of his high position. In view ot the labors devolv
ing on his station, we earnestly recommend to the Legis
lature that his salary be increased to at least twenty .five
hundred dollars per annum for this circuit-

A Medicine that never Debilitates 1
DR. SANDFGRS’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER KEMi.m,
r |>HSIS ONE OF THE CiREVTEST SCIENTIFIC \IEDI
JL c>l discoveries vtrmade, and is daily working o uts
almost too great to bel-c-i*. H cures as if by maun , even
the first dose giviug benetit, and se.dom more than one boitle
is required to cure Jany kind of Liver Complaint, from the
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common bend ache, allot
which are the result o; a diseased Liver.
The Liver is one of the principal regulators of the jhuraan
body, and when it perlorms its :u ctio: s well, the powers of
the system are lull\ doveloped, she stomach is almor-t en
tirely dependent on heallhy action of the Liver lor the
pr per performanceo‘ iits (unctions. V’ hen the stomach is at
fault, the bowels are ut fault and the wi oie system sutlers in
consequence of one, organ—the Liver—having ceased io do
its duty. For the disease ol that oruan, one oi the • roprietors
has made it his study, iu practice oi more than 2u ye-firs, to
find some remedy wi.ere with to counteract the many derange
ment s to w hich it is liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last found, any persou trou
bled with liver corupia'm in any of its foim>, 1 as but lo try a
bottle and conviction is certain.
A compound has been formed by dissolving sums and ex
tracting that>part which is soluble n r the active virtues of
the medicine. These gums remeveail morbid or bad matter
from the system, supplying j n their place a hea thy flow of
bile, invigorating the stomacn, causing tood to dieesi weli,
p irifymg the blood, giviug tone and piealth to the whole nm
chinery,J removing the causesf ot the disea?e,uMd effecting
a radical cure without any of the ,disagreeable alter effects,
felt by using Calomel or Mineral Poison* that are usually re
sorted to..
To all who willfoliow these directions a cure is positively
guaranteed.
Sick Headache can be cured by the use of I or and tea spoons
ful taken as soon as the attack is tell.
The * uvigorator never fails to cure sour stomach, or the bad
efleetsiexperienced alter eating.
Billious attacks yield readily tt* one bottle, aud Chronic Di
arrhoea, difficult as it is to cure.ij never troublesome to those
who take the Invigorator.
For Dyspepsia, Jaundice, noihingin the kuown world acts
so fully or cures s* quicklyj is the Invigorator. ft removes
all yellowness and unnatural color from the r-kin.
For Nightmare, take a dose bes. re retiring, audit is war’
rained a sure prevt uiaiive.
For Female*Obstructions, it Jsasale and sure remedy as it
removes the cause ol the “disease.
Costiveness cannot .exist where the Invigorator islreelyta
ken while cholic yields readily to a few doses.
It must be known thatall these are Liver Diseases,or caus
ed by a deranged Liver, aud to cure them needs a Liver med
icine and one of great power. The Invigorator is suchpi med
icine; it has medical powers never before discovered, that
will cure all diseases, of ,the Liver, no matter of how long
standing or what* may be their lorn. The active medicinal
virtues extracted rum the gums used is such as to be aston
ishing load who see their effects.! loi none can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit. It acts as a gentle cathartic,
and should always be takes in sufficient quantities to oper
ate on i the bowels gently. The best way to take it is to take
the meJicine in the mouih, then lakes me water and swal
low both together. li.t this way the medicine will scarcely
be tasted.
