farmer, To hr! mint! say *o,mid 1 ilior!ii
you knew that long ago, at lout I thought tin
Ootfritnt might have found it out in lii» mo up
there, it he hud bom wnm
Os- Why lo tell you the truth, fa thing to
the way 1 seldom do) I lone hid some »imng
misgivings that way, but you know it i* always
boat io pul a good face on Hungs ; but what has
occasioned the falling off!
F. Several thinks have helped ID do it.—ln
the first place, there's this old charge of Federal
ism, the factrr is that all the heller informed part,
even of our own party, believe il, though they
try to greest it aver with the ignorant, hut they
are beginning to have at rung faith in a ; every
now and Asti 1 hoar one of thorn soy whon the
thing is discussed, “well 1 don 1 , know how it is.
but whenever you wo « great deal of smoke, there
is mighty apt to be some fire.” In the next place
there is the appointment of Col. Bishop to In;
Teller of (he Central Bank.
Os. Why that is one o. the best appointment*
that has been made since he has boon Governor.
Didn't you a«e Col, Rutherford's letter about Bis
hop’* qualifications and his deportment since be
was appointed I Anddont you know that all
this noise about Bishop is mere senseless clam
* or ?
F. No Ido not, il may or may not he, Col.
Rutherford’s Idler so far as it goes is no rloubl
true, hut that apeakaofhim only since his appoint
ment. I know but little abuul <’ol. Bishop, hull
know, that 1 never knew a man who was entire
ly correct, who was charged with us many and sc
riooa offences os he is. These charges wen
made hy men of respectability and standing, they
were in a course nf legal investigation, and I think,
ond a great many others think that a decent re
gard fur the feeling of an outraged and insulted
community should at h ast have prevented this
appointment until an investigate would he had.
There certainly could have been tumid in the par
ly, others as well qualified aa the Uni, who would
have gladly received (he appointment, and to
whom no exception could l>o taken.
Os. But even admitting the appointment to he
a lied one, the Governor is not to he hUined for
it—the Directors o( the Central Dunk, and mil
the Governor make the appointments.
F, I have heard that strongly urged, hot it dunl
take much, the people have 100 much active
to believe that stu-li an appointment would
have been m ide without the content and ap/n o
hution ot the Governor. And more* , r they
ask who ie responsible it the Governor is not 1
Not the Director* of llie Dunk certainly. Itccaune
the people nut never lorn them out for tiny tlii g
of that kind so long as the Governor chooses to
appoint them, end if the Governor is n >1 responsi
ble to the |iuopplc, no lioily is, and the Central
Bank belongs (o the ditc. tors, und they may do
with li ns they please.
Os. Why It ia n hard cave to get along with,
hut we must manage it as well as wo can.
F. But, wh.it is 1 believe actually doing him
asmnrh injury us any thing else, la n piece ol
doggerel that some fellow wan fool enough to pub
lish. beginning ‘‘Willie Ucltely’e the peoples
chief," and bilking about his in iking ‘‘the Indians
feel the deadly ball and a’lltal." Now our pun
pic are an holiest sincere sul of fellows that will
very readly defend their friend against unjust
charges, end oven pollute und forgive those dial
ar a Just, hut when he begins lo claim things that
he hit* no sort of rigid to, he become* the subject
of ridicule, and they drop off front him in n min
ute. Evey body know* that during die war lie
was nl (JolumliiM, with Oen. Scott for weeks, mid
probably ho did what he could, as well as he knew
now. hut is to bit making “the Indiana feel die
deadly bull and a'llial, il is” perfectly ridiculous.
Why you hear them singing dial thing about id
the justices Courts in derision, and d argues no
good to the Governor. 1 believe il indiumr time,
I must ge down, may be I'll see you again before
I go out. [e.r/< ]
Os. Worse an I worse, I thought he would
hove been about die lad mail dial would have

falling house or sinking ship.” True lie don’t
exactly say he is going ogi nsl us bid lie is mil

STRANGE THINGS.
The so lowing letter, received from n gentle,
roan residing in Mllledgevillr, will give our ren
ders some faint impressions of wind is going on

desperate, and there is no chance for the Gover

perauaded and bullied by pnbliu otllcera. How

.tfenrt, Editors. —ll i* very seldom that 1
write, but aa I believo you would like to know
something of the manouvrea of ilia Junto at this
place, 1 have determined lo give you a slnni epis
tlo, informing your of a lew of the most iiriporlaid
(as they conceive) acts.
The accounts, received, six or eight weeks
since, about the Governor's prospects for a ic-clee
lion, acre so bad, and particularly from die up
country ami Cherokee, that they thought il bed
to send Bishop up to compromise und aetlle mut
ters. Il<r has not returned yet, und il is thought
will not Jo so until after the election —notwith-
standing his services are and will be very much
needed during the distribution. Finding, no doubt,
that he could mil stem the currenel of | uldic in
dig utian against the innl-a Imhiivtrnlion of Schley
and that things were In u blue w-y, they forth
w-llt sent him oIV to take the name route, and 1
learn that be electioneers with all the zeal iminu
ginable—taking up every little subject, professing
to the people's servant, and telling tbem that there
arc Iwo new parlies in the Slate—viz. Internal
Improvement and No Internal Improvement, and
dial he belongs lo tbe former—thereby insimiau
ing that Mr. Gilmer is oiqioaed lo lnteru.il Ini
pravement. I must confess I blush to iliink a
Governor of the Stale of Ge. ‘;i» would descend
to such little things—a governor of the Stale of
Georgia travelling through the different counl.es
slopping at the houses of the people mid perhaps
drinking shops sud cross loads 11 Well may il
Ire said we have degenerated. And yet it is true,
Last week they posted off Gen. Bates (IVniteii
liary keeper.) lo Hall, to straighten that > ounly—
it is believed be will not mum until the lust of
September or the first of October. The Junto
have lately got in high spirits, by a report having I
reached hero that Mr. Gibson Clark, who hud
been heretofore oppose I lo the re-election ol Gov. I
Schley, had taken offence at some remarks made
by th* editor of the Athena Whig, and determin
ed to go in for Schley ; but as usual they exult
too soon. I have just seen two gentlemen who
are from Gen. Clarke’s county, and they say if
h i has changed ihey know nothing about il, & did
not believe it. Their editors are directed to co
py the offensive article, mid attempt lo a ouse the
prejudices of the old Clark men—but it won t do,
the thing is too plain. No man of common sense
would censure a parly for the sayings or doings
of an individual—but they are sinking, they know
it, and can be excused for catching ol straws.
They have already proscribed (Jen. Glasscock
they aay he ahull not receive a nomination from
the Union parly next ycar.that if he goes to Con
gress the Stale Rights people may send him, that
their people shall not. The thing has leaked out,
that Gov. Schley wrote to Gen. Glasscock, per
suading him to ceaso hi* opposition to the aboli
tion petitions and tin ling him slill firm threaten
ed or intimated that *hcy would drop him. The
different members of the junto arc writing and
superintending the movement* in nearly every
county of the Statu, and it well belnroves the
friend* of civil liberty to guard their movements
I am surprised that the Union party submit to lire
dictation of such men as Torn the Book maker,
Veritable Rhndom or the noted Stale selling
Doctor, and their co-worker* about this city.
In thu county, though the Union parly have a
majority of Worn forty to fifty. Mr. Gilmer will cer
tainly gel a majority—perhaps as many a* fifty

In the Constitutionalist of this morning, a lame
and impotent attempt is made to defend the ad
ministration in il* course against the mercantile
interest* of the union. It is asserted that the po*
liey of tint administration has not been opposed lo
(hat class. We shall endeavor to set this ma ter
right,according to our understanding of the his
tory of the times.
i'he policy of the administration of Gen. Jack
, son was against the mercantile interests, as evi
deuced in the billowing measures;
Ist, Tiro destruction of the U.S. Bank;
3d. The removal oflho depositesj
3d. The importation of the French and Neapo
litan indemnities in gold, instead of selling drafts
for them to merchants indebted to Europe;
Till. The issuing of iho specie circular, by
which a large portion of the gold and silver were
diverted from the channels of commerce, and lock
ed up, like useless lumber, beyond the Alleghany
mountains.
These acts, together with others of minor im
portance, all operating against tire interests of the
merchants, naturally drew forth opposition from
that class, to llicaulhorsof those measures. The
character of General Jackson gave lone and char
setei to his whole administration, its presses, and
its partisans. Whatever ho did, they praised—
whatever he said, they echoed. Enraged at the
merchants for daring to question the propriety of
hia rpiboval of the deposites, he made the memo
rable declaration that none were injured except
those who traded on borrowed capital, “all of
whom ought lo break." From that period down
lathe present lime, as the evidences of opposition
lo the administration have been developed among
the merchants, so has the administration and its
presses attempted to lessen their influence by
crippling their business, sud endeavoring to per
suade the other classes of society, that the mer
cantile interests were opposed to theirs, und that
if the merchants prospered it must be ut their ex
pense. At the commencement of the recent diffi
culties, when the merchants of the cities began
to full beneath the pressure, like leaves before the
autumnal blast, the Globe, the official organ of Iho
administration, declared that there was “nu pres
sure which any honest man ought lo regret,’
intimating very plainly that nobody was injured
but merchants, who were of no importance to the
country. This sentiment was echoed and ro-ech*
eed throughout the union by the presses es the
parly— the Constitutionalist copied and endors
ed the article! So soon as the pressure became
general, the Globe changed its tone—admitted
its existence, and, in order (o screen the adminis
tration front merited censure, charged the mer
chants with being the authors of il, by overtrading
und speculation! This ehitige, too, was re-echoed
hy nil (he parly presses! When the suspension
of specie payments took place, and the merchants
commenced shipping specie to pay their debts,
they were denounced for doing so, and accused of
subserviency to foreign ucncc, in opposition lo
their own country; and ow they ate denounced
by tbe great and almost sainted head of the parly,
in bis late letters from the Hermitage, as "mere
mottey-ntaking machines, devoid of patriotism,”
and deserving “no favors from the government
which they have attempted to tiisgrace and ru
in, both ot home and abroad!” Wo ask, while
all these things were taking place, why did not
the Constitutionalist then slop forward so man
fully in behalf of the merchants! The cause of
the present movement is obvious—the October
election is uppioaebing, and a little salving and
plastering is necessary. Hence the profession
of kind feelings for the merchants on the part of
the government. Those who have been so often
denounced as aristocrats, and who have suffered
years of persecution at the hands of the adminis
tration, and against whom it has been attempted
to array all other classes, ore now. Just now, a
very worthy class, and "deserve" some ‘ favors'’
al the hands of the government! It is insult added
lo repeated injury.

Portrait if real Despotism vs. the unconquer
able spirit of Christianity.
In the year 1603, the king of Fingo determin
ed to abolish Christianity in his dominions, made
the most rigorous researches for those who bad
embraced U. Teguenda, a Japanese. di«tingui»h
•d ky hi* virtue, hi* rank and hi* f atone, »i' »
< briar ian, and had lh« noble courage to »j»ate the
informers Uie (rouble of denouncing him; he pub
licly confessed hi* failh, and (be governor of the
province received an order to have him beheaded-
Toe governor loved Taquenda, and tried all the
means which esteem and compassion could »ug
gest, to save him, requiring of him no more than
aome equivocal sign of reject for their idols: but
Taquenda was equally intcindble to his seduc
tions, his friendship and hii menaces, finally*
aa a dernier resort, the governor determined to
apeak to Taquenda in presence ofltis mother and
Ins w ife, Thiv latter, named Agnes, was of the
most extraordinary beauty, and it waa known
that TaquenJaentcrtained for herthc most lender
and lively a,'lection. The governor, shut up with
Uiese thiei: persons, addressed his speech first to
tlie mother of Taquenda. “Madam,” said he, "I
must render no account to the King, my master,
of your son’s disposition, of whom I require no
more than exterior complaisance—some I rifling
demonstration of respect for our religion; let him,
whilst he retains his faith within his own
submit but in appearance; this is all I demand;
and, if he is dear to you, let your love dictate such
salutary advice as his danger calls for.” Ah!
without doubt he s dear to me,"replied she,“yea,
dearer than my own life, as long as he disgraces
not his own by any baseness; lf.it of my affection,
this and this only, can be the price.” Here the
governor, interrupting her, said, "reflect, madam,
that this obstinacy must terminate in Ins death,
and that you yourself will be at once the witness
and accomplice ofit.” “Then,” said .she,“l shall
have hut one wish left; namely, to mingle my
blood vilh his, and to participate a gl ,ry which I
envy.” “And you, madam,” said the governor,
turning himsulf to the wife of Taquenda, “will
you entertain this barbarous iuflexibili yl” At
these words, Agnes, judging from the severity of
the governor’s countenance, that her husband was
about to be sent to death, incapable of other an
swer, threw herself into her hustiand’s aims, as
to bid him a tacit eternal adieu. Thence falling
at his knees, and displaying the long flowing tres
ses of her hair, she presented him a pair of scis
sors, and said “cut off this ornament, no longer
of any use to roe; for, should I be refused the
happiness of following you I swear, at yoor
by your virtues and by my affection, to conse
crate the rest of my life to that just, and benefi
cent tied, to that supremo being, who is about to
crown with glory, immortal as himself, the sacri
fice which you arc about to make of your short
and fragile existence!” As she finished these
words, Taquenda, sensibly aflcctcd, mixed his
tears wilh those of his virtuous spouse, and refus
ed to accept the sacrifice which she wished to
make of her tresses; but Agnes conjured him so
ardently to cut them, that ho finally consented.
The governor, seeing Taquenda, his wife, and
his mother equally softened, judged that it was
a crisis favorable to his avowed object of saving
them, and, therefore, renewed his solicitations;
but he presently knew, by the tranquil and firm
resistance of Taquenda, that sensibility had not
more softened his heart than courage had fortifi
ed it. Taquenda was conducted to execution, his
wife and mother accompanying him. Before re
ceiving the mortal stroke, ho embraced them ten
derly, and delivered his head to the executioner,
with a tranquility and resignation equalled only
Iby his invincible fortitude. The next day the
wife and mother of this illustrious martyr were
condemned to death, ami submitted to their suf
ferings with that heroism of which Taquenda had
given them the example.
Whilst wo admire this sketch of foreign biog
raphy, as creditable to the subjects of it, and to
the Christian system and its divine founder, wo
must feel thankful to his goodness for the tole
rant spirit ho has infused into our civil institu
tions: therein
The emblem, and thejprinco of peace
To us the sacred dove consign'd,
As guardians of that milder grace,
For peace, and only peace, design’d;

Extract from the Report of the Special Com
mittee of investigation on the affairs of the Uni
versity, of which committee the lute Gov. Gaylk
was chairman, and wluctt report has been adopted
ami published by the Board oi Trustees:
“These disturbances, which have rellected so
much discredit upon the University, and still more
upon those who produced them, can, in no wise,
be attributed to tire Faculty. On the contrary,
iu the opinion of lire Committee, they adopted the
best means to prevent them; and alter their occur
rence, pursued the moot prudent course to sup
press them. Tire Committee cannot too much
admire the firmness which characterized die con
duct Ol the Faculty, through the whole of these
disgraceful riotss—nor can they withhold the ex
pression of their approbation, at the forbearance
with which they received the insults abuse and
open assault* of these young men, who, without
• any adequate cause, have afillcted a deep and last
ing wound on an Institution which is the fondest
hope of the parent and the proudest boast of tire
country.
“After the most diligent inquiry, the Commit
tee are gratified at being able to state that (he
President of the University, and the learned Pro
fessors with whom he is associated, since the last
meeting of the Hoard, have discharged their ar
duous duties, with uureimited zeal and industry,
and in a manner altogether satisfactory to the
Committee. The ability with which they have
executed their ullicial duties; their efforts to up
hold the government of the University, during
the late disturbances; to execute its laws; and to
maintain tire discipline which those laws were en
acted to establish, entitle them to great credit, and
cannot fall to call forth the approbation of toe
public generally, and especially of that portion
which looks to the Institution as the great nur
sery of science, literature arid virtue, which is to
qualify our sous to be useful citizens, and to send
I forth hands of young men, whose genius and at
tainments will make the Slate rejoice to acknowl
edge them as her law-givers, and her rulers.”

At the request o; President Woods, the Trus
tees went into air election of a successor to him
self as President of the University; and the Rev
Basil Manly, D. D. of Charleston, S. C. was un

President Woods has consented, at the request
of the Trustees, to continue in his present olfice
until tire end of the present year, by which lime
it is supposed his successor will be able to enter

Iwve, directed a Circular to be issued, a copy |
of which we find in the Alexandria Oaxetta, a*
follows;
BANK CIRCULAR.
Ktw Yuan, August 18, 1837.
Sir—At a gcnerel meeting of the officers of
the Banks of the City of N-. York. held on the Islh
oflbis month, the following resolution was un
animously adopted—viz:
Resolved —"That a committee he appointed to
correspond with such banks in the several Slates i
as may think proper, in order to ascertain at what,
time and place a convention of the principal .
Banks should he held, for the purpose of agreeing
on the time when specie payments should be ra- j
sumed, and on the measures necessary to effect 1
that purpose,”
Having been appointed a Committe in con-)
formity with that resolution, we beg leave to call j
your attention to thc[importanl|sul’jcct to which it j
refers.
The suspension of specie payments was forced
upon the Banks, immediately by a panic and
by causes not under their control, remotely by the
unfortunate co-incidence of extraordinary events
and incidents, the ultimate result of which was
anticipated neither by Government nor by any
part ol the community.
But it is nevertheless undeniable, that by acce“..
ling their charters, the Banks had contracted the
obliga iuns of redeeming their issues al all limes,
and under any circumstances whatever: 'hat they
have not been hole to perform that engagemement;
M and fuat a depreciated paper, different in value
, I in different places, and subject to daily fluctua
tions in the same place, has thus been substituted
for the currency, equivalent to gold and silver,
I which and no other, they were authorised, and
, had the exclusive right to issue.
Such a slate of things can not and ought not
, to be tolerated any longer than absolute necessity
requires it. We are very certain that you unite
with us in the opinion that it is the paramount
I ami most sacred duty of the Banks to exert every
, effirt, to adopt every measure within their power,
I which may promote and accelerate the desired re
sult, and that they must be prepared to resume
1 specie payments within the shortest possible no
s lice whenever a favorable alteration shall occur in
j the rate of foreign exchanges.
We arc quite aware of the difficulties which
j. must be surmounted, and the impropriety of any
premature attempt. No Banking system could
’ indeed be tolerated,which was notable to wilh
. stand the ordinary and unavoidable fluctalions of
exchange. But the difference is great between
continuing and resuming specie payments; and
r we do not believe, that the Banks in the U. Stales
: can, without running the imminent danger of an
other speedy and fatal catastrophe, resume such
[ payments, before the foreign debt shall have been
so far lessened or adjusted, as to reduce the rale
of exchange to true specie pat, and the risk of an
i immediate exportation of the precious metals shall
. have thus been removed.
t The appearances in that respect have become
more flattering; and it is not improbable that the
expected change may take place shortly after the
' next crop of our principle article of export shall
• begin to operate. Yet we are sensible that we
, must not rely on conjectures; and that the banks
cannot designate the lime when they may resume,
before the ability to sustain specie payments shall
have been ascertained by the actual reduction in
the rale of the exchange,
i But even when the apprehension of a foreign
, drain of specie shall have ceased, the great object
1 in view cannot be effected without a consent of
' the Banks in the several sections of the Union,
i Those of this city had the misfortune to he, with
few exceptions, the first that were compelled to
declare their inability to sustain for the lime spe
cie payments. It appears that it became absol
■ utcly necessary for the other banks to pursue the
same course ; and it would be likewis** impracti
cable for those of any particular section to resume
without a general explanation of at least the prin
cipal banks of the greater part of the country. A
mutual and free communication of their respect
ive situations, prospects, and opinions, seems to
be a necessary preliminary step to be followed by
a convention at such time and place as may be
agreed upon.
1 As relates to the Banks of this city, we a re of
opinion, that provided the co-operation of the oth
er Banks is obtained, they may and ought to, we
should perhaps say, that they must resume specie
1 payments before next spring, or to be more pre
! cise, between the first of January and the middle
. ol March, 1838.
Both the lime and place of meeting in conven
tion, must of course bo determined in conformity
with the general wishes of the Banks. In order
to bring the subject in a definite shape before
you, we merely suggest the latter end of October
as the proper time, and this city as the most elli
gible place for the proposed Convention.
A sufficient lime will then have elapsed, to en
able us to judge of the measures which Congress
may adopt in reference to the subject. Wbatcv
or may be its action on the currency, the duty of
resuming remains the same and must be perform
ed by the Banks. If any thing indeed, can po
ducc an effect favorable to their views, it will be
the knowledge of their being sincerely and earn
estly engaged in effecting that purpose. An car
■ ly indication of the determination of the Banks
will have a beneficial influence by making them
all aware of the necessity of adopting the requis
ite preliminary measures ; and the information is
also due to all the varied interests of the country.
We address this letter to no other Bank in your
city or Slate than those herein designated ; and
we pray you to collect and ascertain the opinions
of the others arid to communicate the general re
sult as early as practicable.

DREADFUL HURRICANE AT ST. BAR
THOLOMEWS.
We have been favored by a commercial house
of this city with the following extract of a letter
dated St. Bartholomews, 4th August, 1837, by
which it would appeal that the hurricane at St.
Thomas has extended through a large number of
the West India Islands;
“My dear sirs—We arc here in the midst of
distress and devastation. On the day before yes
terday, the 2d, was experienced one of the most
severe storms ever known in this island. Our
tow n, composed of about 300 houses, is two
thirds destroyed—among them some of ihe most
substantial buildings, dwellings and stores: the
greater number the dwellings of the poor. As
yet between twenty and thirty lives only have
been discovered to have been lost in the town,
most of them crushed to death under the ruins,
and others horribly mutilated, and since dead,
and very many others severely injured, wilh bro
ken bones, &c. Hundreds have lost all they
possessed, and are thrown destitute upon the
charity of others. The sea, during the gale, had
unprecedently, risen over six feet.
“Distantly situated, as we are, from the mother
country, some lime must el pse before rcliefis af
forded from that quarter to the poor. The hearts
of your countrymen are over open to assist the
distressed, and I have no doubt, if an appeal were
made to them, but that they would do something
for the relief of those among us who are really
destitute of any earthly, not comfort, buij even
common necessaries, and as the vegetation has
been entirely destroyed, will be, for months hence,
deplorably in want. Here wo do all we can to
assist each other. I leave these observations with
you—use them as your own feeling minds may
suggest—if successful, the gratitude of a distres
sed people will be your reward. The other is
lands have no doubt equally suffered. We have
not yet heard from any except St. Mar, ins there
it has also been severe, though not to the same
extent of damage as to this.”
Wc trust that those who, under our own pe
cuniary embarrassments, have anything left will
throw in their mile in behalf of those who have
■uttered by this terrible affliction. We all rccol
lect how like “the gentle dews from heaven” the
charity of New York opportunely came a year or
two since in behalf of the starved inhabitants of
the western islands.

MONEY MARKET.
Thursday. Evening Aug. 24, C P. M.
Great stagnation prevails in Wall street— nolh
! Ing has transpired to break the dullness that
I reigns in that neighborhood. The little exette-
I ment attending the sailing of the packets has alt
I died away. Specie remains firm at yesterday s
1 quotations, Until next packet day, the market
■ will doubtless continue inactive, I reasury drafts
have advanced I percent. The sales of stock
are very light and varied but little from jester-
Jay’s prices. The packets have carried out a
considerable amount of specie os follows: —
To Liverpool, nearly 5200,000
Havre, 100,000
5300,000
The banks—particularly the Bank oi America
—have commenced, in good earnest, to curtail
their discounts. The Bank ofNew \crli and the
Phoenix discount short paper freely.
The attention of all is turned to the meeting
I of Congress, in expectation of relief from that
quarter. A thousand different ideas exist as to
the probable doings of that hotly
The resumption of specie payments by the
banks throughout the country, wdl occupy the
first attention of Congress. The method to bring
about that desirable object, is now the all-engros
sing theme. Something to stop the large expor
tations of specie by every packet that leaves this
port for Europe. Something to redeem both our
foreign and domestic exchanges from the horrible
plight they are now in. That something will
only be found in a National Bank, upon the fol
lowing plan.
For Congress to charter a bank with a capital
of fifty millions—let the Secretary ol the Treasu
ry issue government stock lo the amount of twen
ty millions, bearing interest at 6 per cent, and re
deemable in 1845. This to be transferred to the
bank for the same amount in its slock.
When the government slock becomes due, the
Secretary of the Treasury would sell the bank
stock in time to redeem it.
This government stock can he remitted to Eu
rope which will turn the balance of exchange in
our favor. This done the further exportation of
specie is most effectually stopped. Now let us
look at the benefits of all this. The foreign de
mand for pecio has ceased. Foreign exchanges
arc brought down lo their original par value, do
mestic exchanges will become regulated, our
importation of specie will still continue. All this
done, anil every solvent bank thoughout the Un
ino can resume specie payments within sixty days.
From the many statements that have reached
us from the north, south and west, a great number
of the banks appear to be in a situation to resume
specie payments the moment the banks oflheat
lanlic cities lead the way, or as soon as the de
mand for specie is confined to this country.
Should such a bank be chartered by the next
session of congress, this city must be the head
quarters for such and stUution, The west has al
ready commenced petitioning for it. The derang
ed state of the country demands that the Nation
al hank should be located in this city. Although
Philadelphia has been the seat of that insitution,
yet New York has been looked loas the criterion
of the money market —New Fork is the city
that circumstances point out for suclt an institu
tion.

Wau. street. — One o'clock —There is hut
veiy little change in the appearance of the stock
market since yesterday. United Stales Bank
closed at an improvement of 4 per cent. Prices
generally, however, have a downward tendency.
The cause of this is not any distrust as to the
value of the different stocks, or greater tightness
in the money market, but it arises merely from
the fact that as business becomes brisk, more cap
ital is invested in that way and less is offered for
the purchase of stocks. On the other hand, hol
ders are obliged to sell at low prices to meet their
engagements.
