MAMMOTH BANK.
It is intimated in the New York Commercial
Advertiser that since the passage of the General
Banking Law of that State, “ the leading capitalists
of the city have been engaged in frequent and
anxious consultations with a view of constituting
such a Bank as New York wants and must have.”
The editors state that the preliminaries have been
adjusted, and the scheme will go into operation,
and they add:
“We shall have a bank of forty or fifty millions—
a bank that will take the lead of the union—and
which, in the absence of a national bank, will be the
next best engine of currency to such an institution.
—With such a bank New York will soon again re
sume her onward career as the commercial queen
of the West; the clouds yet hanging over her
prosperity will be dispelled, and her proud pre
eminence will be sustained.”
The Grand Jury of Muscogee County, have re
cently presented the following case;
We present Wm. Rysdike, Captain of the
steamboat Marion, Win. Lowery, Engineer,
Charles Pickett, and Joseph Bradv, hands on
board the same, their aids and abettors, which
boat at the time and may now be in the service
of the Unite 1 States, for the offence of kidnap
ping the following on or about the 25th March
last, to wit:
Killy, a girl, the daughter of Joseph Saun
ders, aged 17
Lclty, a girl, the daughter of Joseph Saun
ders, aged 15
Joseph, a hoy, a son of Joseph Saunders,
aged 10
Mary, a girl, the daughter of J. Saunders,
aged 4
Susan, a girl, the daughter of Elijah and
Elizabeth Windham, aged 7
Elizabeth, a girl, the daughter of Elijah and
Elizabeth Windham, aged 16
Ann Robinson, parents unknown, aged 12
In making the above presentments wo can
hardly find language sufficiently reprehensible
to convey our feelings of utter detestation of
this almost unheard of crime, committed in the
midst of an enlightened community, in utter
violation of all law, and with a reckless disre
gard of the most sacred feelings of parents.
We cannot, without horror, contemplate the
scenes of infamy and guilt which those victims
seem now destined to witness, and themselves to
become the participants, nor without invoking
the arm of the law to interpose its undoubted
rights, and if possible snatch those unfortunate
children from impending ruin, and bring the per.
petrators of this crime to merited punishment.
Witnesses, Col. Thomas G. Gordan, Elijah
Windham, Elizabeth Windham, Jacob Hatter,
and Joseph Saunders.

OUR RAIL ROAD.
We always recur to this subject with pleasure,
no less than with a sense of duty, because we
believe its progress is regarded with interest
elsewhere, ami certainly it is closely identified
with the well being of the State, and the pros
perity of this town and the adjacent parts. The
work goes on with vigor, and rapidity. The ut
most activity prevails along the entire line from
this point to Halifax. A most dreaded part of
the road, Burgaw Swamp, thirty miles from Wil
mington, is finished, and the cars will traverse
it, probably to-morrow. Next week passengers
will be brought into town to lodge, instead of
slopping a night at South Washington, so that
then, they will be landed here in forty-eight
hours from Washington City, or seventy-two
from New Another boat is nearly com
pleted, to run in conjunction with the North
Carolina, between Wilmington and Charleston.
(Some may feel interested to know that this
new boat will be called the “ Governor Dudley,"
in compliment to the Chief Magistrate of the
Stale, who was the early, and has at all times
been the generous and zealous friend of the
road.) A good deal of produce has already
been brought to this market by the way of the
railroad, such as Turpentine, Tar, Bacon, Corn,
&c., and by another business season, the receipts
through that channel will no doubt be immense.
We would say much more, and present other
important facts, in relation to this great work,
did time allow for their preparation—but we
must defer it to another occasion.
CHARLESTON, May 12.— Steam Boat ra.
eing on the Atlantic. —The steam packets Pu
laski and Georgia, arrived yesterday, left Balti
more wharf within ten minutes of each other,
and one came to, at the wharfhere, only four mi
nutes before the other, leaving a difference of
six minutes in their running time. The trip was
performed in forty six and three quarter hours,
and it is stated that there was but a very short
distance between them during the whole time.
We know that considerable excitement exist
ed among the persons on board the respective
boats, and also with those interested in them, and
there can be little doubt that every exertion was
made, and every nerve strained, to accelerate
the speed of the contending steamers, and oh.
tain the character of the fastest boat. But while
we have no right to complain, if persons will,
knowingly, and in the face of the dreadful disas
i ters that have recently occured at the W’esl, risk
their lives and their property in these useless and
dangerous contests, we protest against their
king passengers on board, who are not aware ol
the danger they incur, and therefore feel it our
solemn duty to caution the public against the
danger that attends the being passengers on
board ofboats that are openly and decidedly
running races at sea, where, it an accident
should occur, there is no probability of assistance
being rendered, and, consequently, a greater loss
of life would likely ensue, than on board of steam
vessels navigating rivers, or lying at the
wharves.
Convenience, accommodation and speed, are
what every traveller seeks, and the latter is not
the least desirable with a large portion of them
—hut safety is far more important than all, and
none but the fool-hardy will put their safety in
jeopardy, to secure either of the other advan
tages.
In these remarks we have no desire to injure,
or in the least affect the interest of the owners
of these vessels, nor do we make any distinction
between them, or express an opinion whether
one is more in fault than the other. With this
we have nothing to do. Both have been, and
arc, favorites with the citizens of the South—but
both will, we venture to assert, be denounced if
this contest is to continue. We hope and trust
the good sense of those who manage and direct
them, will sec the necessity of putting a stop to
this rivalry as to speed, bclbre some horrid catas
trophe occurs, to deprive, perhaps, hundreds of
their fellow-citizens of life, and bring down the
deep condemnation of the public on the authors
of the calamity.
It will not satisfy the minds of the communi
ty, to say that the boats are safe, and no acci
dent need be feared—the passengers have no
means of knowing whether they are safe or not,
and it is not to be supposed that those concerned
will expose any defect that may exist. The only
sure protection is, if the contest should be con
tinued, to let them run without passengers.—
Under present circumstances, neither deserves
support, and we hope that neither will receive
it.— Courier.
Winter. —Some people like winter—other peo
pie don’t—and why don’t they? Reader, we’ll
tell you why we don’t, as briefly as we can. In
the first place, generally speaking, every thing
is cold: wind and water are cold, shirts are cold
before they are aired, and sometimes afterwards;
plates are sure to get cold, gravy likewise; your
outside is cold, and so is your in, especially if it
is empty. Every thing is dark: the clouds are
dark, dress is dark, the mud is remarkably dark;
and the day-light very often dark; the nights
unusually dark, and in some towns so “very”
dark that you can’t even see the gas-light!—
Every thing is blue: the fog is blue, the water is
blue, noses are blue, looks are blue, in short eve
ry thing is blue but the sky, and that is a whitcy
brown. Every thing is short: business is short,
cash is short, answers very short, supplies are
short, days arc short, credit sometimes short, in
short every thing is short except faces, and they
arc generally long. Every thing is dull; the
very dogs are dull, the cat is dull, streets are
duller than dull. London is dull, and the coun
try is dull, debtors and duns are dull, dealers and
dealings are dull, those that do, and those that
are dune are dull— in short, all dull but the
Newspaper, (!) and that’s never dull, except when
the Parliament meets. Is it, reader?”

CHARLESTON, 3lay 12.—The confusion grow-,
ing out of the recent awful calamity which has be
fallen our city, and which, throughout the prece
ding week, almost entirely suspended operations in
every branch of trade, is fast passing away, and
begin to wear a more business-like appearance.
VV e would caution persons abroad from placing 100
much confidence in the highly colored statements
ol letter writers on the subject of the recent con
flagration, but to rely on the energy and good faith
which have ever distinguished our merchants. Al
though many of our King street dealers have suf
fered materially, there is no lack of spirit, no want
of energy among them. Numbers have already
obtained other stores, and are ready to execute
orders to any amount.
Cotton. V\ e hate no alteration relative to prices,
to record in the I pland Colton market, since our
review of Saturday last. There has, however,
been a more active demand this than the previous
