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.

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 .

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!

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.

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.
