of tho association, as stated by CoL T. P.
Stovall, chairman of the meeting, was to
confer as to a remedy for tho railroad dis
crimination in freights against the mil
lers of this section! The meeting re
solved itself into “ The Millers* Associa
tion of Georgia and Carolina,” and after
some desultory debate appointed a com
mittee to memorialize the railroads and
the “ Green Line” to reduce the freights
on wheat so as to be pro rata with those
on flour from the Western markets. A
committee was also appointed to draft
by-laws for the association, and then, at
tlie invitation of CoL Stovall, the mem

Q. Well, Mr. Lowry, how doe3 the
action of tlie Government impress you?
A. It was the very best that could be
done. Issuing the §40,000,000 might
have given relief more promptly and fully,
but then I doubt it* legality, and beside*
its a doubtful thing at the bent to have
the Government interfering. Its a bad
precedent. With such a man as Bout-
well in the Treasury it might make no
difference, but its a bad precedent in case

That was fiercer, sharper. It was soon

A Dat of Unrest and Disquirt—
“Running on the Banks”~Mucu Ex
citement in the Mobvin I—Better
Feeling at Night.—Withod; any per
ceptible cause, a feeling of uneasiness
prevailed yestermiy morning in Atlanta.
Vague apprehensions were felt. _ The
first cropping out was the suspension of
the Doliu- Savings Bank. Quite an ex
citement was crated yesterday^ by the
suspension o? th«- Dollar Saving B ink of
this city. This bank has dun a lame
bu*im*e for ; t* , apit.tb and lias largely
and steadily amplified that business. Its
managers are men of known caution. For
several days past quite a number of
large depositors withdrew their deposits,
prompted, doubtless, by the vague and
lAieasy feeling now pervading monetary

>w buildings, where t'.ey tremblingly | tively engaged in signing and preparing however, about $25,000 had been paid out
upon clif-ks and Tl»«*r,*
being evidently a gen< r d tendency for
depositors to make a run, it was decided
by the officers after a hasty consulta
tion with such of the Directors as could
be gotten together, to suspend payment
for a short while. In the confusion and
hurry incident to such a state of things a
correct statement of the condition of the
bank’s financial status cannot now be
had. But tlie public generally, and the
depositors especially, may rest assured
that all will be done to bring things right.
A complete and .accurate statement will.
[ as soon as possible, be published. And
it will appear that the assets of the
Dollar Savings Bank exceed the liabili-
every direction in turn, with terrific vio
lence. Thus the dwelling of the writer
was literally hemmed in and enclosed by
the transverse trunks of trees, which had
been uprooted or twisted off, and piled
in quadrangular form by the fickle ferap-
est. Tlie sea rose and inundated the
fields, bearing on its surface the debris
of the storm, in the form of marsh nick,
shingle and floating timber. Vessels
were carried miles into the country and
stranded far away from their native ele
ment . Screaming seagulls, plover, marsh
hens and other water fowl, were shot
in the fields twenty miles from the coast.
The roads were impassable for days, and
all intercourse between tho inhabitants
pletely interrupted. Crops were lit—
posite«l by the manager of the savings
department of the bank in the bank
proper. The notes were prepared some
time since, bat none were ever issued.
They will be very convenient at this
juncture should tlie financial crisis still
continue. Mr. Milo Hatch, tlie Vico
President of the bank, returned from
New York last night.
The Effect at Savannah.—Says the
application of the counsel of Mil- Malone ] banks find themselves going they should
all go at ones, and try to resume in 30
days.
NATIONAL Park BANK.
W. K. Kitchen, the President, and J.
L. Worth, the cashier of the Natioual
Park Bank, said that they considered
over. The bank
stopped <IMo4Bt&4 L Ls t Iv;.;aV
was only for jj.;ah.utial reasons while thi
panic Luted. At present no checks on
country b nks arc received as cash. The
breaking down of the railroad bond mar
ket, they thought, w.is the cause of the
crisis. Inability to negotiate the tbonds
of railroads now constructing in the
country # inade the failure of many of
tbo^e dealing iiv them inevitable. The
crisis came when money was most in de
mand. Whether the trouble would be
over in a day or two or not would de
pend a good deal upon themselves. If
they persist in running on the banks tlie
crisis would naturallp b*e prolonged.
Those who were likely to fail have failed,
and those who liave withstood the shock
thus far may be considered »ound.
CHEMICAL NATIONAL BANK.
J. Q. Jones, the Proddent of the Chem
ical national Bank, said the business of
that institution was not affected. Tbeir
customers were not speculators in stocks
to any extent, but merchants and others
in the ordinary .channels of trade. Mr.
Jones had been so much occupied with
the natural business 0? the Chemical
Bank that he had not had time to pay
much attention to the panic. He thought
the trouble had its origin in the specula
tion* in railroad bonds. He believed the
trouble would be over in a day or two,
but that there would be less borrowing in
future. .
IMPORTERS* AND TRADERS* NATIONAL
BANK.
E. H. Perkins, tho cashier of Import
ers’ and Trader* National Bank, said the
panic had not disturbed the course of its
business to any extent, although tlie de
posits have declined some in consequence.
The bank continues to discount to its
regular customers as usual, and has no
anil Republican of Thursday: I by nearly sixty thousand dollara in-
I dependent of the responsibility and sol-
eence has begun that promises to leave
i the patient in a stronger condition than
' before. Analyzing the measures of relief
that have been adopted, we may classify
them as follows: First, there was a
prompt and total suspension of all busi
ness at the Stock Exchange, attended
with such rules as to forbid outside spec
ulation under penalty of expulsion. This
was a policy eminently wise, because at
the maxi rate at which business was be
ing conducted and prices were tumbling
and stocks were being sent into '* i
Board to be “ bought in under the rule,’
eveiy banker and broker on the street
must eventually have succumbed. The
very soul and essence of the panic was
there. Second, the banking interest ral
lied to the support of tlie community by
providing for a system of certificates,
duly secured, that could properly repre
sent legal tendem in their dealings with the
Cleaning House. This enabled them to meet?
the reasonable demands of depositors.
Third, the savings banks institutions,
which deal most directly with the poorer
classes, and represent the wealth accu
mulated by the earnings of our artisans,
promptly anticipating the fearful evils
likely to result from a rabid run upon
them, availed themselves of the privi
lege of their respective charters, and an
nounced that drafts upon them in excess
of §100 might not be honored without
the required notice of thirty day?.
Fourth, the government autnorized tlie
purchase of all the five-twenty bonds
that night be offered, and to-day the
Assistant Treasurer bought $3.339,160 of
these securities and paid out legal tenders
therefor. Fifth, and finally, the stock
brokers themselves (than whom, aJ
body, there are no more high-toned, pub
lic spirited and unselfish gentlemen in the
country),without preconcerted action, bub
at the same time with a spontaniety of im
pulse, at once creditable and effective, sus
pended business with banks and declined
to draw their usual checks, lest the pres
ence of the long lines of clerks at the
desks of paving tellers should create the
impression that there was a “ run,” and
thereby cripple the good work of these
institutions. The foregoing are among
thu chief influences that hare quietly ex
erted their power in producing the calm
that has evidently begun, and constitute,
it is to be hoped, the pivotal point of a
prompt reaction. Now that the excite
ment is subsiding the situation does not
present all tho dangers which at first
seemed to impend. No actual values
have been destroyed, and no ruin has re
sulted save to a few from a rapid depre
ciation of fancy speculative stocks. Com
merce is unaffected; the volume of cur
rency has not been materially changed,
because the “ lock up ” is only tempo
rary ; abundant securities exist right
here in our New York banks to meet
the emergency, and in short it is already
demonstrated that the panic was both,
circumscribed and controllable. It orig
inated in a plethora of railroad credits
and a perfectly natural explosion follow-
room to-< ay.

at the meeting that Saturday’s business
would be duly cleared, provided the mem
bers would agree to take checks on the
Metropolitan National Bank, certified as
‘good through the Clearing House” of
the Associated Bankers. This was unan
imously agreed to by the members of the
Gold Exchange. Subsequently the Gold
Exchange Bank completed the clearances
for the transactions in gold on Friday
and Saturday, involving an amount of
§92,075,000. The arrangement whereby
certificates issued on the deposit of bank
assets are received in settlement of

Tlie Northwest All Kiglit.
Tlie Chicago Tribune, of Tuesday, has
the following encouaging statement as to
tho financial condition of the Northwest-
It says:
If there is no good reason why the New
York panic should depress the present*
prosperous condition of the Northwest,
there is absolutely none why Chicago
should become infected with it. It has
occurred at a season of the year when
Chicago bankers have their money at
home, carefully concentrated for the pur
pose of moving the crops. They have no
important balances in the New York
banks. The money which they have in
vested is placed in good securities or em
ployed in the legitimate purpose of mov-
the grain. This movement has been
more prompt and regular this year than
for the two previous years. The crops
are plentiful, the demand is lar^e, and
the prices are good. There is no risk in
the investments required by the transfer,
and the return is speedier than usual.
The crops are going forward, and the
money is coming back as rapidly as the
facilities for transportation admit. Our
store-houses are full. Our bankers are

Montgomery,’ September 26. At- a

quested to obtain an extension if it should

is made of all parties abroad, who hold
their paper. Resolutions of full faith
and confidence in the local banking in

known to have been destroyed. The fall
of timber has also been immense—every
road leading into town being completely
blockaded, and it will take many days of
hard labor to render them passable. The
farm fences have suffered severely, and
with the crops in the field there is dan
of great loss unless planters begin the
work of repair at once and pusl^it to
completion. But what is far the mo«t
important, thousands upon thousands
of pounds of cotton, which was open in
the fields, have been blown out and scat
tered away or beaten into the d»rt and
ruined. Hero is the heaviest loss to the
county, though some of tho planters are
more sanguine than others. It is a

this is gone beyond recovery. Most of
the planters were behind in their pick
ing, but some few had put on extra bonds
and were well up with the crop, and the
will not lose so much. Tlie cane crop
also has been very materially dam:
"Whole acres of it were beaten down flat
upon the ground, much of it broken off
and of course ruined, and lots of it strip
ped as bare of leaves as if a knife had
"been used upon it, which will stop the
growth and hasten maturity. In the
city, there is scarcely a dwelling or busi
ness house which has not been more
or less injured. There are more trees
and fences down than ever known be
fore, and the cost in repairing fences
al one will be very considerble. Many
stores arc seriously damaged by the loss
of their tin roofs, while the privute dwell
ings suffered in the loss of doors, win
dow shutters, glass, and water beating
in. Fortunately at least for the looks of
the city, not a great many of the orna
mental evergreen trees have been de
stroyed, but the chinaberrv (pride of
India) trees suffered pretty general de
struction, scarcely a wliol • .me being left
standing in thc city, whi however, is
not to be regreted. Th un poured
down almost incessantly during the
storm, but happily for tlie merchants in
those stores whose roofs had been torn

lulled. A to the total damages effected
by the storm, the loss to the city is va
riously estimated at from twenty to thirty
thousand dollars, and the injury to the
whole county at from one to two hund
