sin'T its energies on (he chaos of the for
mer War department, evolved from that
tangled mass of corruption and confusion,
the simple, beautiful and efficacious or
ganization which still subsists ip that im
portant branch of our government. An
organization, that elicited from the con
summate judgment of Gen. Bernard, the
high eulogium that it was not excelled,
by any in the world, wort for the Secre
tary the confidence, admiration and affec
tion of the whole army. We need not, it
is hoped, say to our readers, we have
been speaking of the devoted patriot, un
rivalled statesman, the cau
tious and lenient reformer, J. C. Calhoun.
■\Ve experience a lofty satisfaction in rec
ollecting that we were among the earli
est to unfurl aloft, the broad banner of
our country, blazoned with Calhoun and
the Constitution to the rescue. There
the noble flag floats proudly by us ; it
shall never be struck but at the bidding
of the democracy of the Union honestly
expressed, by anon-caucused, non-packed
National Convention. What necessity
exists for the humbuggery and juggling of
caucuses and conventions ? Why do
the people submit to such dictation ?
Why not ‘whistle the nuisances down
the wind’ and return at once to the con
stitutional mode of electing the president,
or still better amend the constitution, and
let the people themselves elect the Chief
Magistrate? It is their right. Let.it
not be forgotten for whose benefit, this
tortuous and corrupting novelty of Balti
more conventions, was first introduced a
few short years ago. The administra
tion of our national government has for
the last quarter of a century, been grad
ually verging towards the condition in
which Calhoun found the war depart
ment. To what hand can the delicate
but infinitely responsible task be trusted,
of reforming, renovating, and restoring
the action of our government to its pris
tine republican integrity, simplicity and
economy as to his, who in a similar in
stance so perfectly succeeded ?
That man little understands the signs
of the times, knows little of human na
ture, and has profited little by the history
of republics, who flatters himself that
without a deep, unsparing and thorough
reformation in the administrative and le
gislative branches of our government, the
institutions and union of our beloved
country can subsist many years longer,
in' anyfsense worth a patriot’s consid
eration. Nor are the vices that have
crept into the action of the government
the worst danger—the relaxed tone, the
torpor of moral and patriotic feeling gene
rally prevalent, is the deepest shade dark
ening the present lustre of our country,
and shedding a ominous gloom
over its future destinies. There is no
moral in its internal politics.
Our present objection to Mr. Van Bu
ren is, his being a‘things as they are’
politician, a conservative, and not a re
former. Blit waviug this—should he be
fairly nominated, whatever aid we can
afford, we will, with earnestness and
good faith. Will our Van Buren friends
reciprocate? Thedestiniesof their coun
try, and preservation of the union are in
their hands.

which with his beautifully arranged ac

forth bursts of admiration. We hope Mr.

COTTON MARKETS.
MACON Dec. 20, .843.
Our market, since the receipt of the account* by
the Acadia, has not been quite so animated; and
prices have receded a shade probably IK. 4ht
quality of the cotton coming to market now, is not so
good as in the early part of the season. Extreme
prices, at present, C a 7 3-4 —principal sales 71-4 a
71-2. Our river is in fine boating order; and steam
and tow-boats are daily leaving our wharves with full
loads for the sea-board. Freight to Savannah by the
river $1.50 per bale.
SAVANNAH, Dec. 16.
Cotton.—Arrived since the 7th inst. 11,786 bales
Upland and 103 bales Sea Island, and cleared in the
same time 8,011 bales Upland and 102 bales Sea Is
land ; leaving on hand, inclusive el all on shipboard
not cleared on the 11th instant, a stock of 20,020
bales Upland and 188 bales Sea Island cotton,
against 33,254 bales Upland and 415 bales Sea Is
land, at the same period last year.
On Friday last, our market opened with a good
demand, which continued up to Saturday, and the
transactions of the two days reached about 1500 to
1800 hales, at last week’s prices. On Monday, a
limited business was done. On Tuesday we received
the advices per steamer Acadia, hut as the letters
brought by her did not come to iiand utitil yesterday,
purchasers withdrew from the market, and refused to
operate unless holders would submit to a reduction of
about l-4c. on lust week’s rates, which they general
ly refused. In this state our market closed last eve
nittg, buyers and sellers holding off. We continue
former quotations, as holders show no disposition to
yield in their demands, and are offering their stocks
sparingly; we would remark, however, that they
may be considered nominal, the business transacted
since the arrival of the Acadia, being too limited to
establish prices. The few sales made since, have
been principally to fill up vessels loading, and former
prices have generally been paid; in one or two in
stances, a slight decline has been submitted to. At
the present time, our market is t-2c. above the limits
of English buyers. The sales of the week reach
about ‘2450 bales, (the greater porlion of which was
sold previous to Tuesday last,) viz. 2380 bales Up
lands, prices ranging at from 63-4 to 81-4 cents.—

MONEY MARKET.
Saturday, Dec. 2—6 P. M.
The operations of commerce in all parts of the
world have for the last tew years been discounting
themselves with banking operations. A Iter having
been carried to a great height bv the freedom of ac
tion given to the Bank of England, the center of the
commercial world, by a succession of good harvests.
The Bank of England, has at last gut out of the dif
ficult position, in which the bad harvests, which
have periodically oblighed the English traders to
bring from the Baltic coin, for which they had paid
gold, had placed it. The metalic reserve is re-estab
lished, and the specie whi-h it possesses corresponds
more nearly with the extent of its issues. It appears
also that by Unit of caution, speculation has become
somewhat firm in Great Britain. The manufactur
ing districts suffer from the want of new foreign
markets, but that" is precisely what must take place
when large capitals are left without employment, and
when the paper of good houses is discounted in
London for 2 1-2 or even 2 per cent. In a moment
like the present, it may not be uninteresting to com
pare the position of the Bank of England with that
of France, and with that of New York State at dif
fenent periods. The accumulation of specie and the
abundance of capital, have been increasing at all
points, since January 1842, accordingly wc will take
the leading features of the institutions mentioned, in
Jan. 1842, and at the latest dates reducing all the
currencies to dollars, in order more closely to observe
the changes.

The fluctuations in the English and American
currencies arc very great, while that of France is
comparatively very steady. Yet at each point, the
accumulation has been great, compared with the lia
bilities. Specie is now 50 per cent higher than in
e 842, w hile the aggregate circulation and deposites
have increased about 20 percent. At this time how
ever, it appears that the specie ot the Bank of France
exceeds its outstanding bills. The specie of the
Bank of England is about 60 per cent of its circula
tion, and that ofthe Few York Banks is about 70
per cent of the circulation. All these proportions
much exceed the precautions which political economy
recommends. The Bank of France has frequently
been reprimanded for not extending its circulation,
and that of England has frequently been stigmatised
for extending hers too much. Wc may make a
comparison between the movements ofthe institutions,
named in relation to their capitals, circulation, im
ports and exports of each country, and the population
in which the banks es|iccially operate, as follows :
Capital and Circulation of the Banks oj England and
France, with the imports and exports of Great Bri
tain, France and New \ork, for 1842; also the•
populat ion of Eondon, Baris and A etc \ork.
Hank Capital. Circulation. Im’s. & Ex’s. Pop,
Paris 16,875,000 42,187,030 410,062,500 1,10U>,000
London 67,200,000 93,892,800 566,860,043 1,850,000
N. York 43,950,137 17,213,101 78,614,890 2,428,921
The population here given is for the counties of
Surry and Middlesex, England, the department of
the Seine, France, and for the state of New York.
In France there are no bills issued less than 500
francs, or 931-1. In England they are as low as
$24, and in New Y'ork sl. The use of pa per credits
in England is much more ancient than elsewhere,
and enters more into the customs of the population.
In France there are now 15 banks, viz: the Bank of
France and its four branches, with ten provincial
banks. The discounts effected by the whole of these
amount to $305,187,500, and the circulation to $49,-
031 250 Tha bank of France is the only institution
remitted to issue bills payable on demand, and
operates without increasing the currency, because it
puts no more pa|>er money into the market than it
draws specie out of it into its vaults. Os the other
hanks, the most important is the bank of Rouen,
which was established in 1817, with a Capital of
1,000,000 fr., which was gradually increased until in
1837 it reached ils present amount, 2,500,000 fr.—
The circulation at its latest returns was 6,471,500 fr.
against 1,959,000 fr. of specie : its dividends avciage
about 9 per cent. In Paris the Joint Stock bank of
Laffitte lias been in operation a few years, and was
projected in order to give that movement to |«iper ex
pansion which could not lie procured from the bank
of France, which is properly a State institution. As
that bank enjoys the exclusive privilege of issuing
bills on demand, Laflltte adopted the form of billets dr
credit or promissory notes, paying interest after date.
In the first year the amount of this paper put in cir
culation rose to $2,688,000, independent of another
class of bills of small amount, payable from fifteen to
thirty days, without interest. These bills are now
making progress throughout France, but for a long
time were current only at Paris. Nearly all the
monied operations of Paris center in the bank of
France, and it may be interesting to sketch its mode
of action. This bank was organised in 1800 by Na
|H>leon, with a capital 0f30,000,000fr., $5,625,000.
It was then governed by aeouunittee of deliberation.
In 1803 lie raised the capital t 045,000,000f —$8,547,-
500, and conferred on it the exclusive privilege of is
suing notes payable on demand. In the year 1804
during the campaign of Austerlitz, through the mis
management of the Minister of Finance, the bank
was obliged to suspend. The event was important
enough to call the Emperor from the midst of the
conquest of the world, in post haste to Paris, where
immediately he gave the hank an entirely new organi
zation, which it preserves to this time.
He raised the capital to 30,000,0006, $15,875,000,
and extended its charter to 1843. He took from it
its old government by committees of deliberation, aud
gave it a governor, two sub-governors, to whose coun
cils three receivers general were added to take care
of the interests of the treasury. To those were add
ed 15 regents and 10 members of committee of dis
count, making a committee of 30 persons, of whom
24 are wealthy merchants.
The principles laid down by Napob on fertile
government of the bank, were that it should deal with
nothing but good paper proceeding from the higher
class of commerce, that it should enter into no o|icra
tions but gold and silver. It should not engage in
commerce or advance upon merchandise er stocks.
There are in Paris 30,000 licensed traders, who
procure discounts. # All them are not equally solvent
yet the uniform rate of the bank discount is 4 per ct.,
but that institution requires three undoubted names.
Those who can comply with these terms form a class
of ‘presenters of bills.” They send in 200’to 300 bills
in one day. These are enclosed in an envelope,
which is called bordereau, on discount days there are
frequently 11,000 bills presented, none of them over
90 days to run, which must be examined in two
hours. The ten members take each a bordereau and
glance over each bill. If on each there is a Well
known name, they are passed to the regent. There
is scarcely ever a bill rejected, an I the bank nevei
sustains a loss. In this way the funds ofthe hank
pass at 4 [>ei cent into the hands of the most wealthy
houses.
By them it is re-discotinted into the haftds of
smaller dealers at 4 1-2, sor 6 per cent, according to
the value of the hills offered them.
The*iank has maintained its rate of interest at 4
per cent, for 20 years, notwithstandingthe revulsions
and disasters which in that period have swept over
England and the United States. Not only has the
Bank maintained itself but in the revolution of 1830
and 1831, lent the government fr. 130,000,000 when
every other resource was closed against it. This it
could do because it never artificially increased the
volume of the currency, but always kept its msans
entirely within its own control by confining its loans
to 90 days bills.
Thus it is, that hi France there is no paper money
—that is the mass of the currency is never increased
by its issue. This fact enables that country rapidly
to advance, notwithstanding the restrictive policy of
its’government. The violent alternations in Eng
land and the United States, are ascribed to many
causes which have a common operation in France
without producing the same effects, because they arc
there unaided by paper issues. The prosjiect now is,
that the process of inflation, both in England and the
United States is about commencing. Prices will rise
and the continent will sell largely to both countries
aud bay but little until the inevitable revulsion again
takes place, when France will have been enriched at
our expense.— N. Y. Gazette.

The Senate has no important business
before it, after than Executive business,
and that they appear indisposed to act
upon as speedily as some of the parties
concerned desire. The Cabinet nomina

cept that of Mr. Upshur, as Secretary of
Stale. The incumbents are anxious to
know their fate, hut they are likely to he
held in anxious suspense for some time.
The report of the Secretary of the

all parties. The members have, as yet,
however, had no time to digest its con
tents. It can not be complained of as
obscure or indecisive.

It is known.to many of you, that I have had many
hardships and difficulties ro encounter in bringing of

flees before n civilized and law-abiding people. I have
never been a defaulter, or caused a security to sutler,
or applied to die Legislature for re.ief. I have grow n
