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. Concert Mr. Russell the Vocalist, entertained and delighted a very large number of our citizens in the dining room at the Central Hotel on Monday evening last with his extraordinary Musical talent. His style is quite different to anything we have heretofore heard. His voice is a bary tone of Jpeculiar sweetness and power, which with his beautifully arranged ac companiments on the piano forte, called forth bursts of admiration. We hope Mr. Russell will be induced to stay a week with us at least —doubtless the room will be crowded every night. Those of our citizens who have not heard this “master of the human passions” should not fail to avail themselves of the opportunity now offered as his last concert wc perceive by an advertisement' takes place this evening. The piano used upon this occa ion, was, we understand, from the music Store of Messrs. Bruno ut I irgin, we re mark this ns wc think it is the richest toned instrument of the kind we have ever heard. COM »I i.RCIAL JOURNAL. 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.— 71 Sea Islands—Sat 15; 3 at 17; 1 at 18; 1 at 18 1-2; 3at 18 3-4; 9 at 20; 13 at 22; 18 at 24; and 15 at 25 cents per lb.

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.

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.

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 tions are deemed to be in jeopardy, ex cept that of Mr. Upshur, as Secretary of Stale.

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury appears to be well received by all parties. The members have, as yet, however, had no time to digest its con tents.
