SECRETARY COM.
The financial criai* which ha* come upon
thi* country, is likely to bo met by Mr. Cobb
in *uch manner as to make hi* administra
tion the most prominent pnd brilliant under
the sub-treasury aystem. Ho is a man of
clove judgment, very practmAand prompt hf
carrying out the convictiofi®K>f his mind. —
Few other men would have been so prompt
to throw into circulation the large amount of
specie which lay idl* in the vaults of the
United States treasury. But the country
needed it. Mr. Cobb immediately saw nnd
recognised the necessity, and immediately
acted. The result of his action thus far has
been so clearly stated by the New York
Times that we publish the article in full:
cTh* Secretary of the Treasury has done
the community of ‘Merchants, bankers and
other business people a real service through
tho present trial of money affairs. He has
promptly and studiously for Shirty days
’ past, shaped the government disbursements
to the largest measure of pecuniary relief.—
We have seldom known a public functiona
ry, under similar circumstances, to manifest
so much practical sympathy. We lmd occa
sion curly in July to commend the timely I
1 disbursements made from the New York sub
treasury, when it was anticipated that thej
first accumulation under the now tariff might
work inconvenience to the bankers. But
the measures taken since the close of August
have been doubly valuable, and ought not
to fail of proper commendation.
On the 24th August, when the pnnic be
gan in the city by tho failure of the Ohio
Trust, the sub-treasury held twelve million
nnd a half of dollars in gold of the twenty
two and a hall millions in the city—the banks
having lost heavily the previous week by ex-i
port to Europe, Seeing that our banks j
would be greatly—strengthened by concern- j
trating-the government disbursliments at
this point, • nnd by promptly auditing And |
paying the special and general appropriations
of Congress, which were made to take effect
after the Ist of July, Mr. Cobb lias reduced |
his balance in New York, to the amount’ of
62,750,000, nearly every dollar of which
went into bank. The conseqnonce is, that
to-day the position of the specie held by the
sub-treasury nnd the hanks is completely re- 1
versed, nnd the latter afforded the utmost re-1
lief the Secretary could arrange for under •
the law.
These disbursements will be rapidly con
tinued. Mr. Cobb determined a few days
since, to reduce the premiums he is paying
on the public stocks, unless they are sent in
forthwith for redemption. His desire is to
distribute bis balances as far as they can be
appropriated to this object, to the best pub
lic advantage, nnd at the earliest day possi
ble to afford relief to tho money market.—
The new order is, that up to the first of No
vember he will continue to pay sixteen per
cent {premium and the accrued interests for
the bonds and certificates of loan of 1867
’6B. After that day lie will reduce the pre
mium to 14 per cent.
One or more of our leading Savings
Banks, we learn, will avail of this notice at
once, and having the opportunity to re-in
vest in New York (States stock to advantage,
will send on their United States bonds and
certificates for the higher premium. The op*
oration will be equal to so niiycb gold trans
ferred from the sub treasury to active bank- j
ing use.
There are other movements of the Secre- I
tary w hich have rom# under our notice ten
ding to similar relief, though of less impor-’
tance. The whole effect lias been to'popu
larize the sub-treasury system, in a season of
severe pecuniary trial, and to afford a degree
of substantial aid to business which the pub- j
lie are largely indebted to tlio practical
sense of the head of the treasury depart- j
meat.
But the far-seeing Secretary did not con
fine himself to the relief of New York. To
he sure that was the central fortress that had
to be maintained. But other places at tlie
same time received prompt attention, and so
we find the St. Louis Ledger announces that
there is over, and among the caus
es that tended to alleviate the pressure, was
the rapid outpayment of money in the sub- i
treasury. N5 less than $170,000. was paid 1
-out in a single day. The editor says:
“ Money lias thus got to be more plentiful,
and those who were heretofore pressed ‘ have
been able to meet their engagements punctu
ally. The coin in the banks lias considera
bly increased during the past week, and will
doubtless bn more largely increased Hie next
week ; so that we may expect the banks to
be abb’ in a short time to offer extensive ac- .
commodation* in the way of discounts.—
Gradually have men more confidence in each
other, and matters arc fast assuming their ac
customed security.”— Charleston Standard.
THE SOUTHEBN BANK OF GEORGIA VS THE
ALBANY PATRIOT
Ijj tlio last issue of the Albany Patriot
the editor says In another column,will be
found a letter to which we call tlio attention
1 of the Bauk and its friend the editor of the
Argus.” ‘*
This is the letter to which he refers us :
‘~Mr. Editor Some two or three- weeks
ago, I saw an article in oue of the Savan
nah papers, taken from a New Orleans- pa
per,stating that drafts of the Southorn Bank
at Baiubridgc, had been protested in that
city. As the notes of that institution have
| obtained some circulation in this community,
1 think it due tb its own credit, that the
j Bank should either deny the’ truth of this
! statement or explain satisfactorily the reas
ons why it allowed its drafts protested. I
will take no more of its bills until such deni
al or satisfactory explanation is made *<and
from un dvr ! JUNIUS.
On reading the Patriot’s article, inserted
above, we took the paper containing them
and presented it to the acting Cashier of the
Bank, who informed us that the said drafts,
on being returned to the Bank weje imuiedi
atcly cashed. We acknowledge that wc are
a friend to the Bank as well as to every oth
er institution promising to advance the true
interests of South-western Georgia, bipt
•have no more intrest in it than any other inf
dividual in the community, and do not de
sire to occupy the position of its organ,<sor
become responsible for its solvency—not
withstanding we regard it as sound as any
Othef similar institution with ’tats circulation
in the State, and that no one risks anything
ill taking its bills.— Bainbridge Argtu.

BUDNSWICK A FLORIDA RAILROAD COMPANY
llejow we publish an extract from an arti
jtide-iM the Brunswick Herald of the 7th mat.;
there is evidently a mistake in the statement
that Georgia lias a majority in the Board of
! Directors, ns the article gives the name of
four citizens of New Y’ork, three Georgians
! only, and-Mr. Wheeler the new President
who is about to come to Georgia, making in
all eight Directors,when the charter provides
j only for seven. We shall await with some
j interest the offeial report, and the pyoceed
-1 ings of the meeting at Milltown. It will cer
tainly require a “ clean sheet, a stock list and
| a clear straight forward, statement of the af
fairs of the Uoad,” and in addition to them
a strong shewing that this Company have
resources sufficient to carry on their work,
to induce the people of this section to ven- 1
ture again into this Road. Indeed they are
not. disposed to throw away the liberal aid
offered by the State, and take the burden of
this work upon themselves, and we trust the
new Board will shew, that they have the
ability to carry out their work without that
aid. or the willingness to accept it on fair
terms.
“Last week we announced,unofficially, that
the Brunswick^&. Florida Railroad Compa
ny lmd been reorganized, and that iron had
been purchased today the track to Big
Creek. This week we have the gratification
to state, upon official authority, that the
j Hoard of Directors has been re-organizedi ■
j giving to Georgia a majority of the . Board,
the Secretary and Treasurer,and the offices
of the Company.,
Mr. Charles M. Harris, one of the com |
mittee recently sent to New Y ork by the cit- !
izens of Brunswick, on business connected •
j with the affairs of the Company,” has return
|cd to our city, bringing with him the office
! hooks, records, papers, and property of- tli'e 4
j Company. Mr. H. has bee.n elected Secre-:
tary and Treasurer, and returns with author !
ity to prepare offices and make suitable ar
rangements for all the offices of the compa
nyjiere m Brunswick, where in future, all
the meetings of the Board will be he'd, nnd ,

THE REPORT OF CAFT. HERNDON’S SAFETY
0
■ The intelligence brought us-by telegraph,
lastnight, of the rescue of the gallant Hern
don, and.sixteen niota.^ff.the snrvdvors of-tlie ]
wreck of the ill fated Central America, will
be hailed by every frienfi of humanity with
a thrill of heartful joy. May it prove to be
a true report.
There was that in the conduct and bearing
of Capt. Herndon, according to all the ac
counts we have received, throughout the try
ing scenes in which lie was placed, on that
night of horors, which has commanded the
the admiration of all who have read the deep
ly interesting naiative. Calm, collecting, self,,
possessed, with a perfect abnegation Os all’
selfish considerations,and au unflinching devo
tion to duty/lie’"seems to have completely
fielcd up the measure of all that could be ex
pected of one placed in a position of such
high nnd momentous responsiblitv.
His first care for the safety ofjiis ship
proving abortive, what a sublimely heroic
spectacle did the whole of- his after conduct in
that hour of terrible trial present! stand
ing! here, self poised, on the narrow verge-of
life and death,-af time and eternity, lid seems’
to have made Ids arrangements for the safety
of-those entrusted to his care as coolly and
deliberately as if the sky above sind tho waves
beneath him were clear audcnlni as sumtner
night ever’saw. With what firm determination
and at the same time with what delicate tend
erness, did he personally supcriifteud the exe
cution of those arrangements ; what wonder
that every dno of those rescued women,
when describing thcir'escape from the perils
of that night, paid the eloquent tribute of
tears and blessings ns they remembered his
kiud and gentle ministrations!
We know that we but utter,the
of what must be the universal hope of hu
mauity that “this gladdening report of the
gallant'Herndon’s rescue- may prove to be
correct.—JV. O. Picayune Oct. 5.

THE CONN CHOP IN KENTUCKY.
The Louisville Courier, of the 19th int.,
says:
Tlie favorable weather during the last fear
weeks has so far matured the corn crop that
the bulk of it may now be considered as out
of danger from frost. The yeild in Kentucky
will be immense, far larger than ever before

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
*’ r •
The news by the Arabia exhibitsa decided
advance in the prices of cotton while, in
strange contrasts with this l not only cotton,
] but nearly evei'y leading product of agrieul
tuic, is without a market in the Atlantic
shipping ports. ’1 lm produce of the planter
and farmer has not lost its value in the mar
kets oF the world but by a strange condtbn of
our monetary system is stopped on its wav.aup
citliordcprivedoFits value,or compelled to pay
an enormous tribute lor privilege of
reaching its destination. Undoubtedly the
I condition of the country at this time calls
i for groat prudence on the part of those who
! control the currency; hut this prudence may
be carried to the extent of pusillanimity,
and instead of standing as an element of
strength, may become a dangerous source of
weakness. This is the trial upon which the
Banks are now put, and if they cannot pass
through it, it is far* better that they should
abdicate the high prerogative of supplying n
currency which can no longer be exchanged
for the solid value of the products of thesoil.
They speak bravely in New York of the
sound condition of their currency ; of the
banks, and of the vast resources at hand 16
keep,up their commercial credit; and yet, in
the midst of all this, foreign exchange, of the
most has been Boldin that’
city at nine per cent, below par, nnd mercan
tile bouses of abundant resources, have been
compelled to suspend business from the den
ial of very small advances upon strictly
business paper: This is not a question, as
the Philadelphia papers said, and some of
the New Y’ork papers repeated, whether th
entire community —banks, merchants nnd all,
—should fall into common ruin. In the fint
instance, it strikes a heavy blow at the value
of all agricultural produce which forms the
verv lifeblood of trade, whether it be the
trade of merchants, or the trade of banks.
We repeat, then, what we sajd the other
day, that the great necessity of the crisis
is Courage ; a determination not merely t
I make ingenious shifts for self-protection, bet
. to use all the means in our power to preserve
. good faith,on the part of the banks, and te
demand of them in return that they shall
omit no nicasurs to make their own safety
’ compatible, with the general interests of the
comunity.— Charltstun Mercury.
j Steam on Common Boads.
A eonnnon road locomotive, built by Mr.
i Richard Dudgeon, of Goereck street, has for
j several days, says the New York Evening
post, been runing in Grand street. Broad
j way,and other thoroughfares,and has made a
! trip to Harlem and back. Its speed is about
; equal to the average speed of horses in stages,
j and it seems to be controlled with ns much
J ease, and with more certainty. The popular
| notions that horses would be alarmed by such
i vehicles, and that they cannot, ascend hill*,
j on account of their wheels slipping, are rc
| futed by the pci forma nee off thin engine,
1 which lias met with no case of difficulty of
I tills nature, although it has run for a eonsid
! vi able part of several days, in crowded streets,
followed by crowds of noisy boys.
Mr. Joseph Battin, of Newark, X. J., has
recently built a steam carriage, on a different
plan, which he has run successfully on.aev
i era! .short trips. The peiforinance is such *
j to corroborate the view that steam may be
| u|ed with advantage even on a small scale.
