I sing Foreign Exchange for Currency i —Dry Goods All Right. I Me make these extract-! from the West-1 ern press dispatches from Nejv York, published in the Nashville Union and American, of Friday: A number of the Foreign Exchange bankers in this city have suggested to the government at Washington the pur chase of foreign exchange as a measure of relief for the stringency of the currency market. The suggestion is said to be now under consideration by the Treasury officers. The following explanation of the terms of the suggestion is made. The foreign bankers of-New York offer these is to the Loan Committee of the In leas worthy oL its assistance than the speculators and gamblers who pro- dn<-e.l thd enuh ? • -The Government vir- il-[ t Rally prohibits our people from having State or local banks disconnected from j one of them or of their date* ever sold themselves ■ llarbui, or lied like the fax.

But the truth is simply the Inifh, and if there be any “blow** in the prem ises, it falls upon the poor farmer from the other side, in the shape of the aforesaid heavy impo-ition*. Now we are fully aware that “ it will cost no more to transport grain by railroad from Boinbridge and Albany to Macon or Atlanta, than it would -o t to transport the same grain f.o.n Mueon or Atlanta to Boinbridge end Abtany.” But wo sub mit that Atlanta, Macon, Hawkinsville, and tho whole line af the Atlantic and Great Western Canal in Georgia, is much usurer to tho faruiing districts, and the consumers of Western produce in Geor gia, than either Bainbridgi or Savannah. Indeed, a large proportion of the grain could be received by the wa yons of the planters, to very central is tlie proposed canal route. And when it must lie dis- trilmtol by r i9. then a half doxvn roa Is, instead of car or fan, are ready to handle it, and the distances to he transport'd will be nmuh shorter than those from the coast, as a point of departure. But we disclaim any opposition per s* t.^F-aieap muds, though an advocate In a former article, our contemporary asserts that "high decked and wide gmirel river hoots” do p:iss through the Missis sippi sound from tho "new basin, at Now Orleans, to Montgomery and Selma. This may be so in occasional instances, and during favorable stages of wcat.ier, but would it be wife to subject vessels of this character e ery day in the year as regular canal boats of burden, to this ordeal ? When a fleet of these vessels been sent to the bottom in .-.omo gale as that whi-h destroyed St I Marks recently. f.u futility of relying I upon «n ;’i t.nnsportatiou will be suf- I tlei.-x.tly demonstrated. So, too, his I contemptuous sneers concerning tlie "shallow and small work of the Great MV-tcrn,” and it* inferior capacity, are met with the opinion of the officers o, the United Stat -s engineering corps, who de clare that “it,” the canal, “will have a carrying capacity equivalent to fire Erie Canals." Oar engineer editor, in his ipntations, likewise ignore* the fact that it is propose.! to propel tho canal boats of the Great Western by »fr*» in stead of mule and horse power, thus ut terly distancing those huge "high deck boats” on their perilous voyage of sev eral thousands of miles, from St. Louis to the Atlantic. We have seen too many cargoes o corn landed at Eufaula from New Orleans, in a heated and damaged condition, also, to acquiesce very readily in the assertion that injury to grain in its passage through hot and moist lati tudes, is an “exploded idea.” Perhaps the cargoes be refers tons "crossing the equa tor twice.” etc., were kiln dried. Butinthecondnding portion of his late article our contemporary insinuates that our advocacy of the Atlantic and Great Western canal, and opposition to the Coast scheme, is the result of “hostility to Sa vannah.*’ The writer can afford to smile at of his grand- This has proven miformlv true in ! m l i r 1 ' lmnlin »’ syste “* t . he j national banks union jr us are wholly m- r ^.

Until about two o'clock today (jiicrc was every reaam to beUve that the worst features of the pending financial Crisis had fully developed, and, so far a* Aew York is concerned, nearly exhiiu.to. 1 (n-iir influence. Confidence win. retaining, the prospects were reassuring and settle ments were favorably progressing. £ven the street transactions in stocks, irregu lar and fluctuating as they were, oeto- konod a feeling of improvement. Prices were stronger, and men with money in their pockets bought boldly of the va rious securities, and certain of ultimate reward. Nor is it probable that these will be disappointed. It was also autici- puted that advices would be nv.ovsl from distant cities announcing the sus- I> -nsion of firms dependent upon their metropolitan connection*. These nat ural incidents of our panic, therefore, did not pro-luce the strongly depreit'ag effect which might have result-j sit unother time. After two o’eloek, l.oiwev- er, it was announceil that a large and well known banking houseon Wall street is? bet*n compelled to odd itd name to the excitSflltW"tJlw,»^TOa. from Kerorta now followed each other thick and fast. Banks, brokers and merchants were all jnmbled miscellaneously toget-i- er in one vast cornucopia of exaggera tions, which was emptied greedily into every crowd that would stand long enough to catch the shower. Chicago was heard from. A treue n toils run on her banks wa* going < u. Peteralrarg nnd Riclmion 1 iuul coliajised. The Penn sylvania C n’ ral itailrood was “m cHr.nc- e'rv, * :ud »o the news from various quart ers piled up until, if one believed them, xt seemed as if the bottom of the country had dropped out, universal liquidation had commenced and the skeleton of Bank ruptcy was beginning to make his grand rounds. Abont an hour later, dispatches came from the West annonnexug "There is no panic in Chicago. Bank* are promptly meeting their demanas and a confident feeling exists.” The tidings from Petersburg were bod enough, but whenit became known thattho excitement was chiefly local and largely due to the speculations of another syndicate xn rail road bonds, who had been tripped by the same trouble, that have hurt a few kere, the misfortune was contemplated with calmer feelings. Naturally, such an event will create commotion throughout Virginia- may affect aevcral more of the banks of that State, and possibly extend the influence of the crisis, but from pres ent appearances the evil J s of a local char acter. and only remotely traceable to that which exists here. M'hile the improved feeling of the morning was somewhat modified by the later events of the day, wo ■“»" deeciy no new elements of the sit uation that might not have been expected to prerent themselves among the logual events of this extraordinary crisis. Dis trust, alarm, “runs” upon banks, the hoarding of money, the suspension of ac commodations—oU are incidehta of panic, and while Now York continues to be the financial centre of the nation we must expect to see here and there, the down fall of on institution whose credit athorne is dependent upon its strength here. Bat there is a bright side of the picture, and it has been already presented and rep resented in these columns. Up to the present hour, with one or two exceptions, our te-nks have stood os firm as rocks. The Loan Commiteee of the Clearing- honse have thus far issued to them SS.500,000 of certificates, and, it is confi- .1, ntlv asserted, will enlarge the amount originally agreed upon—to-wit, SltkOOfi.- hS* and controllable it would in the least affect any business interests here. But day after day the wires were freighted with information of suspension upon suspension, money be came gradually tighter, and even cotton finally failed to find ready sale. The stringency increased each day. the dis counting of the best mercantile paper ceased, and at last several of our banks were compelled yesterlay to suspend pay ment to their depositor-, the amount of available funds being cxnaiuite-1. Shortly after nine o’clock it was rumored that the Merchants and Planters National b.mk, Charles J. Jenkins, President, an.', J. S. Beau, Cashier, and the Pianteiw' Loan and Savings bank, Charles J. J. nk- ins President, end T. P. Branch, Cashier, had suspended. This soon proved to be correct. A rusn was made on the two banks, both in the same build ing by depositors, but payment of id! checks was refused. The officers assured all that the banks had much more than sufficient assets to meet ail liabilities, but there was no ready mouey to payout We obtained 4bo foflowfug t f.-.t —n.-nt of the condition of the two hanks: Merchants' an.l Planters’ Nation al Bank.

During the run upon tho institution. Mr. Hutton, the manager, maintained his equanimity, and, with a hum pile of currency from which to make his selections, seemed pec- fectly indifferent to the consequence. His thoughtful composure would occasionally break into a smile of apparent gratulation as he casually remarked that the Bank was savin" one and a half per cent, on every dollar paid out. At the Southern Bank the crowd was much greater. At one time during the morning the side walk was impassable. In addition to the run on the savings department of this institution, there was also a run on the bank proper. In the directors* room, Captain M-Mahon, the Vice-President, and Colonel Anderson, one of the direc tors, watched their scared depositors with feelings that appeared to be wavering betwee n amusement and nonchalance. One gentleman, it was reported, bought a fifteen hundred dollar certificate for twelve hundred. One party sold a check of eighty-four dollars for eighty, and we suppose there were various transactions of a like character.

The Assistant Treasurer to-day purchased *3.200,000 of bond*, making a total for three days of J9.271.330, which has likewise gone to swell the volume of credit and greenbacks.

The condition of the bank at the su.-p3i.siou was as fol- Arnount due to depositors $60,000 Capital , $330,000 Notes discounted 461,000 Stocks and bouds 5,000 Profit and loss account... 33,000 Surplus 20,000 Total assets $869,000 In the afternoon a meeting of the di rectors of this bank was held, at which it was resolved to issue drafts on the bank, payable at six months, to the amount due depositors, in sums of five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hun.lred dol lars. In case the stringency is sooner re moved than the time designated. the drafts can all be called in. A form of draft was prepared, and it i3 expected that a num ber will ber-ady for issuing to depositors on Monday. By the charter of this bank the.capital stock is fiable for deposits first. Soon after the su-pehsicn of the Bank of Augusta, the National.Exchange Bank next door was also compelled to Stop payment, having paid out to depos itors during the morning seventy thou sand dollars. This bank, like the others, is sound in every respect, and has the greatest sufficiency of assets to meet all obligations as soon as the present strin gency is removed. A1 on tone o'clock tile banking house of J. J. Cohen A Sons sus pended payment after paying out to de positors nine thousand dollars. This house has enough in tlie best of bonds, stocks and other securities to pay all its liabilities, three times over, but inthepres- ent stringency securities, however “gilt edged,” cannot be realized’ upon, there being no money, hence the suspension. A run was made on tho National bank of Augusta in the morning, but it being ascertained that the bank was promptly paving all checks, the run ceased, and for some time before the regular closing hour, but few checks were presented. Mr. W. E. Jackson, tho president of the bank, states that he will pay out to de positors as long as there is a dollar left, and feels satisfied that the bank will be fully able to bridge over the crisis. The Commercial Insurance IkuJc stood, all right, paid all checks presented, and will continue to do so today. It will not sus pend. Mr. G. P. Curry, banker, also paid all demands by depoutprs yesterday. A run was made on the Freedman’s Sav ing bonk between twelve and two o’clock and twenty-eight hundred dollars in all paid out to depositors. After the latter hoar, however, .the advisory committee met and concluded tint if the run con tinued they might have to sacrifice United States bonds, and therefore de termined to enforce the sixty days’ no tice allowed by their charter. A notice to depositors to that effect will be found in our advertising columns. The bank is perfectly solvent. No run was made on the Georgia Railroad bank, and the few checks which were presented, were promptly paid. It 'rill meet all demands of its ite po, iters. Thc ■:lraztnah News, out of .1 depth of sorrow ih.,i seems to know no relief, lifts I-rotuer remarapu: i aeju-iw. , J done gone and got our money, an’ now dey give U3 dis yere paper.” A venera ble-looking old negro said: “I knowed it. stantial aid came to tho directors, but they were already well fortified. One gentleman offered them fifty thousand dollars in currency. The run continued until the hour of closing, but it was plain that the feeling of uneasiness was very much allayed. The bank hail demon strated its capacity to pay every cent due depositors, and some of those who were among the last to draw their money went off looking very much like the man who bought theelephant. They had tho money all safe, but what should they do with it? There were several ladies present, endeav oring to get an opportunity to draw out their deposits, but they were most merci lessly elbowed by the men, and finally a majority of them sat down on the window sills to wait -for a break in the ranks, summoning to their aid what patience they might. A remarkable feature of the occasion—amounting, indeed, almost to a phenomenon—was the strange man- ner in which men who had been success ful in drawing their money were affected. They would wait calmly in the crush and heat, sweating serenely until their turn came, and then, after getting their depos its, they would fall to shaking and trem- bliag as though they had been stricken with the palsy. One man, rather coarse ly dressed, who drew out quite a large aonnt, seemed to be particularly affected. He shook and trembled from head to foot, put his money in his pocket and then took it out again, and finally tied it np in his handkerchief, his hand shaking all the xrhile as though he had an ague. The excitement had spread even among the colored people, and the side walk m front of the Freedman's Savings Bank was crowded until noon with anxious looking darkeys who were eagerly waiting to learn something in re- 01 rid nr-.V. .g irwifislgr.—1 — ——""" enforcing the sixty "lay clause. Few of tho colored people understood this, and few were satisfied with tho explanations made. Some were indignant, while others met the announcement with the air of resignation as if they had expected it. Those who insisted upon getting some sort of show for their money received certifi cates of deposit, payable in sixty days. These certificates were subjected to a eurious examination,' and many queer comments were made. One colored 1 rother remarked : “I tole you so. Dey "now venera- Dis book,”'holding up his I Kink book, “dis book done bean burn my hand dcse tree week." X white man came out of the liank with a package of currency, where upon one of the crowd cried out: “Dar now! What I tole you ? White man git ho money, nigger go to de debbil.” This was gr seted by a chorus of assenting grunt’s, and one of the females remarked: “ Deso white folks is mighty onsartin.” And so it went. One woman, who had somehow managed to draw out a do tarn in currency, came out of the bank tri umphant. “ What I hear um say?” said she. “ Dey call dis bank broke, but she's dar yit.” Upon which a voice in the crowd remarked, sententiously: " Dat s so; sho dar; but dem white folks got dey finger on her.” An old wood-sawyer, who made one of the crowd, delivered himself thus to a friend who had just emerged from the bank with his certifi cate of deposit: “You see I don’t put no confidence in nobody. Dese people we look upon 03 we friends, and now when de time come for dem to show dere friend ship, dey hand ns out tickets in de place of de greenback we give um. Well, you see, day ain't ketch me, caxe I ain’t trust nobody senco dat nigger meet me by de market one Saturday night, and he say, ‘Brudder, how you do ? I ain't see you for long time.* And yon b leebe it. ae nigger rnb me so on my arms dat I commence to tink he was some ole quaintance I use to know. But, what yon tink ? When de nigger done left, and I look. I find out dat when he been rub me he boon tecking de watch out me pocket.” There were no indications of alarm at the Central Railroad Bank, the Merchants’ National Bank, or any of the private banks, and in all probability there will be none. Hox. H. P. Beli,, representative in the next Congress from the Athens district, has bought a house in Gainesville, and will soon remove there to reside perma nently. Mr. AaboxPalmxe, of Dawson comity, died last week, aged 102 years. A hex belonging to Mr. Riley Turner, of Merriwcther county, has caught the panic. She has been laying good eggs up to a few days ago. Now she has sus pended, and only lays eggs without any shell or with nothing in them. Mr. Jakes, the Atlanta banker, issued the following card yesterday: Owing to the unexampled panic now convulsing the financial interests of the whole country, disturbing confidence and arresting all the machinery of trade, and this at a’moment when the staple product of dux country is ready for movement, but staved for the want of the usual mon eyed facUities, I nnd myself compelled to suspend temporarily the payment of de positors with my banking house. For their assurance I have to say, that my assets are of the best character, both as to the commercial paper now daily ma turing, and to city realty and good stocks and bonds. I have assets more than double the amount of my liabUitios, and I onlv need reasonable time to coUect my maturing paper from the mercantile com munity, and to realize on valuable seen- rities." I ash this indulgence with confi-. dence, and pledge to my depositors every dollar of my properties, both real and personal, for their security, and with the honest assurance that I will, as rapidly as possible, apply the proceeds of all my collections and sales to the payment of their accounts.

The Niobe soon after arrived and demanded a surrender of the imprisoned foreigners and expla nations for the outrage. Tho authorities were obstinate, and refused to accede to the demands of the commander of the Niobe, when a bombardment followed, until a flag of truce was h"isted, and the prisoners surrendered. Tlie Lesson it Should Teach us. Under this head the Columbus Sun makes some remarks that seem to us so eminently sensible and suitable to the present financial crisis that we copy them in full, with our hearty endorsement: We of the South cannot reasonably hope to escape injury by a storm which we had nothing to do in raising. Already we see tliat it has caused a decline in cotton, and, what is perhaps worse, it has deprived our buyers of the means where with to purchase cotton. Yet we know that our great staple will always'com mand cash where there is money to be had. The misfortune with us, then, is that we are dependent on one market, or one source of revenue, and that re course now fails ns. This dependence has every year since the close of tlie war been an injury to us, but the extent of the injur , was not demonstrable. Now we are ail obliged to see it, and we believe that the remedy, within our power to supply, is also pretty plainly indicated by the present condition of affairs. That remedy, as we comprehend it, is the seek ing directly of new markets for our cot ton, and in this case it is only the setting aside of interme.liatjha.nce all the fabrics F'.at section that we against the shipment of produce and dra."’ our checks therefore on your hanks, payable through the Clearing house. We thus obviate the necessity of having greenbacks in forwarding grain and pro duce now filling our market. Relief can be given in this way without incrosising the demand for grevuliacks.” The Louisville Courier Journal’s circu lation, according to its sworn statement as city printer, is at present 10,860 daily.

Open direct trade—send the cotton direct to Europe—and wo would get in return cheaper and better goods than we now receive from the North. It needs no argument or figuring show tliat Northern dealers in our cotton make money by its passage through their hands, and we sup pose all will admit it is equally clear that the money which they make comes out of the planters. If they make money by the intermediate handling of our cotton, the planters can surely save money by reliev ing them of the business of handling it and sending it direct to the manufactur ers of Europe to whom they sell. And so in reference to European goods received in return. If tho Northern importers and jobbers make money by selling them to Southern merchants, the Southern mer chants and consumers could save money by abolishing these intermediate agencies^ * Perhaps our people loved the Yankees too well to deprive them of their commis sions and profits derived from the pur chase and re-sale of our cotton. If so, it was an overflow of Christian charity against which we shall not complain. But now, when the Northern buyers have seriously involved thousands and injuri ously affected the price of our staple by their gambling operations in "futures”— now, when they have brought on a crash by their other reckless speculations, and locked up all the money in the country so there is none to purchase the incoming cotton crop—we imagine that our sublime charity should be turned towards home. The occasion is a very fit one for the se rious contemplation of the injury we are doing to ourselves by a continuance of a commercial connection fraught with dis aster now, and which promises us noth ing but exaction, fluctuation, insecurity and loss in «the future. The situation points out to us the path of future profit and security. If we avail ourselves of it, we may emerge from this convulsion wiser and stronger for its temporary em barrassment and well prepared not only to guard against but to profit by a repe tition of the panic and crash. Too Good To Be True. We find the following Washington special in the Chicago Tribune of Wednesday. It is good reading—almost too good, we fear, to be true. We can only hope that some such law will be among the earliest legislation by Con gress. As to the back pay grab—to use a very mild term—we see no reason why an effort should not bo made to force a disgorgement of that also. If so many of the jury hadn’t sliared in the beef, we should have some little hope of its being done: The probabilities are that Congress will take hold of the back-pay question immediately upon assembling, and pass a law restoring the §5,000 a year and mile ag& arrangement, with perhaps a nomi nal allowance for postage in lieu of the franking privilege. A prominent Sena tor, who has examined the matter thor oughly, and obtained an accurate idea of the public sentiment towards the back- paysters, • xpre3sed the conviction that nothing short of a repeal of the law passed by the last Congress will be ac cepted by the now members, who will number about 100. Added to them will be the support of all who have returned their back-pay, and all who have felt the pressure of the public sentiment on the question, such as Butler, of Massachu setts. It is even predicted that an at tempt will be made to lower the compen sation to §4,000 per annum, or establish a per diem rate for the time a member is actually engaged in legislation. There will be many advocates of the latter pro vision. The back-pav already gone will be considered a dead issue, except that members of the next Congress who re ceived back-pav will feel pressed tore- turn it ad a sort of apology to the.r con stituents. There will doubtless be an effort made by the disgruntled to restore the President’s salary to the old stand ard, but it is not believed that it will be successful.

Augusta, September 27.—There is a better feeling to-day, but the situation continues unchanged. Nothing is doing in cotton for the want of currency. Some few bales of middlings were forced at 15 cents. It is believed that the suspended banks wiil be able to resume currency payments early next week. The Banks Indorsed.
