FOB TIIK CHRONICLE ASH SENTINEL.
THE GREATNESS OF THE SOUTH
OVER THAT OF THE NORTH.
First, The South produces the very precious
metal in its raw slate to the amount of hundreds
of thousands annually. She produces Cotton and
Rice in abundance every year, and in value equal
to geld and silver itself.
Second, In general, health is as good at the
South as it is at the North. True, the heat is
gteat in summer, and there ate sections where it
is oppressive and unwholesome, hut Pro idence
has favored her again with abundant places that
afford health and comfort, to which man may in
one hours time resort. I will take the city of
Charleston for instance, which comes more under
my immediate knowledge. Every hour of the
day he can go from the city to Sullivan’s Island,
where'he can brcethe a tlie pure and wholesome sea
breeze, and bo as it were in sight of his business
at the same lime. Although the great importance
of that place by nature has been trealcd with the
utmost contempt hy Charleston heretofore, who
can tell what invaluable importance the improve
ment of that place would give to the prosperity
and splendor of that great city, as it might he of
much greater importance to Charleston than Ho
boken to New York. It would inspire For
eigners with confidence in coining with their
ships to Charleston i“ summer as well as in win
ter; or in case of sickness in the city, and be a
perfect safeguard in all seasons of the year for na
lives as well as for foreigners. And, in one day
they can come on the Rail Road to the town of
Hamburg and Augusta, where they can enjoy
the wholesome piny wood breeze, and drink the
pute water ftom the very fountain itself. —and
in one more day they can enjoy the mountain
breeze and comfort in every way equal, if not
lietler, than that of the North; and; in a few more
days they may arrive at the Virginia or Sulpher
Springs, “a garden spot” of this part of the world,
and alt this they can accomplish at the same
expense if not less, than travelling al the North.
Thirdly, The Southern sea ports arc accessahle
all the year. Her rivers a c navigable in all sea
sons of the year. To be sure there aic times that
they cannot he navigated in all parts of them with
our noble steamboats, hot they are always navi
gable with smaller caff, and our Rail Roads wc
can travel upon at ail times nod all seasons of the
year. Our merchants are not indebted to Eu
rope; if they should be, they are blessed with the
real value in fact at I to- r,e to pay with and asks
nslhing Iront the North in that way.
As to the climate, it is as cold in winter to the
North as it is hot in summer to the South. Go
where you will to the North in winter and you
will freeze. Their fine ships are surrounded hy
ice in their harbors lor months at a time. Their
splendid steamboats arc frozen up in their rivers.
They tell us in their newspapers of thousands
and ten of thousands “barrels of prime (1 mr, hu l
frozen up in their canals; they might as well tell
U, it was in Egyp' from which we might get it
as soon. Their merchants are largely indebted
to Europe; what have they got to pay with ! To
he sure they have got many towering castles
which they may have no use lor hereafter, hut
their fine packets cannot carry them. They
have Biddles Notes and Bank Bonds which they
can send, but they arc fictitious ond deluding !
things, signifying an evidence of a debt due for |
Ootlon. Rice, Gold and silver received, and pro
long the time of payment, and in the end perhaps
° )3 .. m ent al all—the manufactories cannot spin,
l°J weave them into cloth, nor can the people
cal them.
,\* to the Banks of the South and of ihc North*
nearly ihc whole of them have crept into a bag j
ogelhcr, and bad I charge of that ling, I would tie
tlut airing well, not one should escape to tel! the
news, not even the Old Fox himself should es
cape to his den already preparing for his retreat.

From the Baltimore American.
The interest universu ly felt in regard to
Ur* course likely to bo pursued by our mover,i
ment cm the question of the annex ilnm of
Texas ip the Union, w.ll cause tin: documents
lately transmitted by the President to Con
grew,embracing the correspondence between
the Texiun envoy extraordinary and tha ,See
retary o: lstaic, to lie read with i'lterest. We
are indebted to the Hon. Mr. MeK:in fur a
copy of them. As tiicse documents would
occupy more room Uian wo can allot to them,
we shall meroiy state that the communication
of Gen. limit,the i'cxian functionary,after ffiv
inou historical i.el.inl ofeventsconnected with
I lie separation of Texas limn Mexico, enters
upon the subject of annexation to the United
Stales. In Ins answer, Mr. Forsyth declines
entering into tint historical investigation, Ur
policy of the United States, having always
been to treat with government* de facto, and
assigns as an insurmountable d ffl nliy in tfie
way of annexation, the existence of amicable
1 relations with Mexico, which must of ticces
hc interrupted should such a measure he
adopted. Toe language ot the Secretary of
State is us follows:
S i long us Texas shall remain at war, while
the Uni.oil Stales are at peace with her ad- j
versary, the proposition ol Ihe 'I exits n. ins - |
ter plenipotentiary nocesar ly involves lit- 1
quest ion of war with that adversary. Tlio
United Sides are bound to Mexico hy a ;rea- j
ly o' anti y and commerce, which will he
scrupulously observed on their part, so long
as it can bo icasonably Imped ’hat Mex.co
1 will perform tier duties and respect mu nghls
under it. The United Stales might justly he
suspected of a disregard of the friendly uur
p 'ses of the compact, if the overture of Gen.
Hunt wore to bo oven reserved lor future con
sideration, as tins wotl d imply a (hspsoitlou
on mu* part to espouse the quarrel of Texas
with Mexico; a disposition woolly at variance
with the spirit m the treaty, wit.i the uni
form poli'-v and the obvious welfare of the
United Slides.
Al the same time, Mr Forsyth adverts to
the acquisition of Florida and Lmi sm na as
having been effected with the privity and con
sent of the governments to which these torn
lories had previously belonged. In his re
ply, Gen. Hunt assumes the position that the
historical details r j ‘cted by Mr. F. are per
tinent inasmuch as they seive to shew the
ex slenco of Texas a i independent govern
ment, and the irnposaibil ty of reconquest by
Mexico; and then proceeds to argue that as
it is competent fora nation to part with a per
il n of itself, us in the case a of Florida and
Louisiana, it can also transfer Itself entire,
ihe change being tff*ctcd hy the gymultiuic
mis actum and universal consent.of the whole
population.
The General thinks that the circumstance
of the recognition of 'texaa us an independ
ent government, having been made by the
United States in advance of other powers,
carries with it no claim to a preference in
commercial relations.

MONET MARKET—CITY NEWS,
Monday, P. M.
The business of Congress is nearly closed.—
The bill for the issue of ihc twelve millions of
Treasuiy notes is probably the most i nporlanl that
will he passed upon. The particular features ol this
hill are not understood; Ihe impression is, that the
rate of interest is to he fixed hy the Secrrtaiy of
the Treasury al not exceeding six per cent. If
these notes should be placed at so high a rale of
interest they would not alio d the slightest relief
to the public,—for the best reasons, they would
not become a circulating medium. Every camtal
ist or savings banks would "hoard" them, and
they would he caught up for this purpose Ihe in
stant they should make their apperaance. What
individual would bn at Ihc trouble, risk and ex
pence of pulling out funds on bond- and mortga
ges, stocks or merchants paper, when Government
securities cjn be had, and which can he turned
into cash at a moments notice! Those Treasury
notes will releivc the Government, but will not
afford the least relief to the people. Should Iho
interest be placed at three per cent then there
would he no inducement to hoard, and they would
then come into general circulation.
Wo gave a few days since a particular state
ment of the value of Heal Estate and depreciation,
wc now give the number of buildings pul up; the
number of stores are nearly all in the Burn! Dis
trict. The buildings pul up are superior to any
probably, that have ever been erected.
We rcgiet to see not only in this city, but iu
the State, less of that forbearance so necessary in
those limes, from the debtor to the c ediior, the
consequence of which is, that the law mills of
the Sta c are rolling with unaccustomed vellei'v,
to the ruin ordetiimeut ol ail grinding or ground
in them, the lawyers except. According to the j
Daily Advertiser of Albany, the amount of ver- j
diets rendered at the present Circuit Court of |
Albany County, at the close of the fourth day of ,
its sitting, was $37,026,97, besidvs costs. Com i
puling the average amount of planliffs’ costs at
S4O iu each suit—and a legal friend slates, this I
average is too low, and that >53 would he nearer
the amount —there is an aggregate of >5663 ; to
which add S4OOO for defendant's costs, and wo
have a grand total of 6G,691,97. Ol the above
verdict, Jourteen were taken in suits brought by
banks. By ibc Banks 1 By the Banks 1 UV
THE BANKS! This,it strikes us, is noi the
proper way of doing Imsiness in these limes,
when of all tire hankrup s, none arc greater loan
the Banks. The Old Albany Bank, adds the Ad
vertiser, is not among these Banks,—hut the Me
chatties & Farmers Bank of Albany ir, and ibis
Bonk, ii appears, nut satisfied with sueiug in its
own precincts is extending its operations here m
Ills city, where we rejoice to say there is gr.a'
leniency, great forbearance and liberality, a- a
general rule, upon the purl of the Bunks. The
Mechanics & Farmers Bmk has just caused a
sun upon a note of #628 24 when the drawer of
fered to pay 20 per cent, on it, with a renewal
of three mon lis, and ihe Bank higgled Inr 25
per cent, and a promise to ay lit full at maturity
the dispute about which caused the suit, when
the house sued was doing every thing in its pow
er to pay oft ils creditors as fast as possible. ’These
things are not right and we shall never hesitate
lo expose them, particularly when high corpora
tions are concerned. 'Tins suit was brought in
the indorsers r.ame, it is true.—but every tmdy
understands this way of whipping the devil round
the stump.

MONET MARKET.
Monday, Oct. 9.
The fall trade is rapidly drawing lo a close.—
On a Monday, little is done, and today less was
done than usual Stocks have declined. 'I he
amount of specie carried out by ihc packets yes
terday, is generally estimated at >75,000. Ex
change closed at nearly the prices at which it
i opened on Friday last, being a li.tlo advance on

In a short lime wc sh ill expect ihe October

half or more have reached Albany, hut the an
thorilies take so much lime to arrange and pre
pare them, that half a inonih general! , elapse

All excitement and enquiry among the com
mercial classes are rapicly sinking into quies
cence. The session of Gungiess is drawing to
a close, and ilie lull amount of its measarcs an
! already hegi n.ng lo ho realized. Those meas
ures, however, are acknowledged on all hands to
. he temporary, extending not beyond auollicryear.
Congress, and Ihe Executive at Washington,
refuse lo provide any system, capable of keeping
Ihe banks in their orbits, or calculated to prevent
1 such overissues and rcvulsionsas we have passed
through of late. A decided majority exists iu
; -L.ii li houses of congress against a Aaiioiial Bank
By this refusal ol Congress to ail, ihe United
States bank of Philadelphia is placed in a very
commanding position, and hy means of ils im
mense capital mid eiedit, both in tiiis country and
in Europe, ii an leguiate and effect Ihe trade of
ihe whole country, and particularly the foreign
trade lo New Toil; Already the hank, under the
magnificentmiuiingemcnt of Mr. Biddle, has es
tablished agencies from London lo New Oilcans,
forming a chain that may control the exchanges,
luuh foreign and domestic, in the American trade
of lioth comi lies. Unless some plan is therefore
devised, capable of rivalling Ihe United Sta'cs
hank, and the grc.it skill of Mr. Biddle, Philadel
phia will become the monetary ccnlic of the whole
American trade, and New York, w ith her mighty
physical and artificial advantages must fall into
the hack ground.
Pbe.so sentiments have become 'ho current ma
terial ot Ihe mercantile mind here for some lime
1 past, and ttic refusal of congress to create any
I monetary system capable of counteracting that of
i the United Id ales Bank, has caused a great deal
of discussion in various quarters,
Iu I lie most ol this confusion and dis rganiza
turn, several eminent financiers have desired a
plan ot currency founded on ihe real estate of
New York, which many think would entirely su
percede the necessity of a new National Bank,
and give to \cw York that control in commerce
which she deserves anil merits.
By the Assessors’ Lists it is ascer ained that
the aggregate value ofieal estate, houses, &c. in
thiscity, amount, in 1837, to 193,000,(160. Os
l Ids vast amount, there may be a certain portion
encumbered with mortgages. It is probable it
may stand thus:
Value ol the real estate in N. Y. $196,000,000
Proportion inongigcd, 46,000,000
Leaving unincumbered, 150.000,000
Hero, thorefore.is a solid capital of $130,000,000
deal of all debt or mortgage, which c. uld tic
thrown into a common fund, and made the basis
of a paper currency equal to twenty or fifty
millions of dollars, redeemable in specie, end
issued in one dollar up to one thousand dollar
notes. A joint stock association formed on such
a capital, could command as much specie as might
ho wanted, so that a credit - hold lie given to its
small currency among the loco toco musses.—
Every ical estate holder iu the city would find it
his interest to become a partner lo the extent of
his unincumheicd popcily. Why! Because
he would he in the receipt of his regular rents,
besides the dividends of at least 5 per cent on the
same prop, rty iu the shape of a basis to hank
issues.
This magnificent association would embrace all
the real estate interest of the city, and iu conse
quence thereof, would command confidence be
yond that of any haul; that ever was established.
In its management also, it could be conducted on
tbe most scientific principles—with public state
ments every week of its circulation, specie, dopn
siies, exchnn es and loans. It is to the secrecy
in which h.nks are conducted that panics owe
their rise. Take away all secrecy and you lake
away all panics, and givj ad conlilenco.
Such is the plan which has been in agitation for
several months pa-t among several of our mo I
eminent financiers.
There never was a more favorable time to at
tempt its lormation. No oilier legislation is re
quired but the repeal ot the resiraining law, and
the passage of a general banking law authorising
issues of paper on leal estate securities in Now
Turk. All the owners of real esi ale in the city
—all ihe loco foi-o messes—all cla-ses of mer
chants and manufacturers, who hu>o been crush
ed hy the atrocious hanks, are ready lor some
new organization of the currency. The present
banking system is rotten to the core. They pro
fess to have capitals as a basis for issues—lint
from the practice of loaning out both capital and
credit, the whole is in shape ol doubtful commer
cial paper, and lb y are. therefore, unable in a re
vulsion, lo slay a panic,or relieve ihe communi
ty. Not so with a real estate hank, on the plan
wc have chalked out. It would command the
highest confidence, not only of this city, but of
the country at large, and of all Europe beyond
sea.

3. The litre was nut confined totlio State
Banks actually settled as depositories, but
reached ami embraced all others. Thorn
whs in the first instance, a general scramble
imuiig tiie 800 State Banks for the valuable
boon. President Van Boren, in his Message,
strongly alludes to the numerous mid impor
tunate solicitations to which the Government
was exposed. Mr. Whitney, Mr. Kendall,
ami Mr. Blair, if they chose could no don 1 ’;
exhibit from their portfolios bundles of appli
cations and letters rum Slats Bxults, which
would astonish by their quantity, and disgust
hy their fawning and submission, all who jet
retain their mental independence and a just
contempt for servility. The original scram
ble among the State Banks fur the honor and
the benefit of being made Federal Deposito
ries, would have been kept up in all time.
There would have been a pxrpcltnl contest,
amongtliom for the pr ze, and the Federal au
llinriiy would eagerly encourage a strife which
promoted its iiiflnoneo and multiplied its
Swiss in Every State. The Deposite Banks
would have the strongest motive in benefits
conferred to deservo to have them continued,
1 1i"se winch wished, as all would, to become
Deposite Banks, would be rendered nut less
active and submissive through the principles
"( hope and expectation. The whole host of
State Bulks, almost countless in number, tind
wielding collectively a tremendous and over
powering influence, would have become the
creatures of the Government at Washington.
Nut one would escape the coml tion, for all
m process of lime, in the money making vo
cation for which they wore created, would
have received pecuniary lieneli's from it, or
would anxiously wish lo deserve them at its
hand. VVlint was the so much dreauod influ
ence iffilio late National Bank—so much
dreaded by ihe very persons who fixed this
Siuto Bank system upon the country —com-
pared with what the latter might and would
have become, and which il had u most uncon
trolahle and ungovernable tendency to be
come ? The d fforence can easily be est ma
led with sufficient accuracy. The U. S. Bank
wit selec ed by laio as the deposi ury, and
not by l.ivor, and lienee it was neither be
holden to the Executive and Ins officers for
thu past, nor had any proper cause of dread
lor the future, while it honestly discharged
ns trust. TtiefStuto B inks were lo bo sc
lucied by the duel'Magistrate, or his Secre
tary,and that tSecre.ury’s agents. They were
indebted \ofavor for their having been chosen,
and their tenure was m effect Ihe arbitraiy
pietismeol llie Executive. They would have
been perpetually on ihe stretch to retain his
good will, as rival banns desiring to become
depositories would have been lo supplant
them hy superior servility and parly services.
Bolh classes would, in the natural order of
things,become Federal dope id.inls, purl suns
and mercenaries. Monied Corporal ons
would have been B am seen in every ißtmo in
battle array for the Federal ExucUl.ve, end (
in every contest found lighting lor their pay
masters, ami iigainst those who were strug
gling to keep down Federal aggrand ze
in.iiit. Tiie tendency of the fc> .no BnuK
system to a dependence on the Executive
at Washington, was, from these causes,
much m ore violent than that ol the Ndimi
ii I Bmk. How much more extensive and ef
ficient the nfluence it could carry to mo sup
port ol'the Executive, is app.tr nt from the
much larger am mill ol (State Bmk cipita,
the much greater multitude of the.r uhccra
and stockholders and Uie tunnoers liable to
be swayed by them, and in the circumstance
ol their operating, not at a few po.nl , as did
the National Batik, but at every State metrop
olis and almost every town and village, in
the panic fear which politicians succeeded
in creating in the popular mind agamsl the
Bank ol'the United Stales, the people over
looked the greater danger lo bo apprehended
(Vom an organized and drilled corps ot Stale

liable to come under a correct connexion with

For these reasons, ns well as keen use they

j Denton ol Kfiinghani count v, Gvo. under
lime of Hi.' ‘-'Sill of August lasi, titkoii l.uu, ilio
column.) nl Ilio Charleston Courier, was forward
-0I to tills place, fiiil.i i a Uetliaeme.it SSO is
ofiere.i as a r. HH.d for the apprehension of A.
.V. I*. \\ iltjoa and inyscll, and I tie restoration of
four horses represented as having heen stolen.
Per Iho infjmialio . of tho puhtie, especially
ihoac t\i,h whom I have acquaintance, a brief
explanation is neecesary, Gilbert Lorgstrect hatt*
a contract for carrying a daily mail between Sa
vannah and Augusta. John If. D. ..ton was an
authorized agent for making alt necessary con--
tracts lor the fuit.lmenl ol Longstrocl's engage*
tnents re-peeling the mails, ifo employed dri
vers, pro'. led tie ; . hoard, and conducted 1
all rtogoeiau ns Ho th.-slabling and feed of hoises.'
M ilson v/a ■■ ‘. jvo:—this occupation was Ids
all, for live inoiuhs ami upwards, he received
not tho smallest compensation. My father had'
hr pi two horses and hoarded on. drier for four
months; he also had not been paid one cent.—
About (he ir.th ot August, Denton went from-
Augusta to Savannah, in the stage on the Caros
lino side of the river, lie was looked for on Iha
route and payments were expected. At (his lime
ho communicated to Wilson the insolvency of
liongstreel, hut promised to return in a few days
and pay him. This pledge was not redeemed.—
On tho contrary, Denton returned to Augusta ort
the Georgia side, running all the horses on that
line to Florida, to keep them beyond die reaebt
oi tho executions vs Longstreet, and other credt
, tors. Wilson, on receiving this intelligence,
followed him to Augusts, where he was informed 1
that Denton, after having drawn one quarter’s
pay, ($3600) had secretly left the city, to avoid
the applications of somo Creditors, who were 1
waiting there for the set'lenient of their claims.
In addition to these strong indications of a dis
honest disposition, Denton, on his last passage
down, did, whenever night favored the deception,
conceal himself from tho eyes of creditors, by re
maining in tho stage at stopping places, and
assuming the name of “Mr. Snooks.”
Tho olliecrs in whose hands the executions
against Longstreet wore lodged, were seizing onr
all his streets that came within (heir reach, and
Denton was positing every thing in Ins power
without ti e pale ofjus ice. Was his honesty td
bo further trusted under every symptom of un in
tention not to pay, and under Ills own avowal of
bankruptcyt There was no alternative to secure
payment for sen ices a . driver, ami for hoard and
feed of horses, hut to seize on property which the
executions had not yet f.und.and which Denton
had not yet time to inn.
John 15. Denton knows the place of my resi
dence in tarnwclf district—he lives hut half s
day's journey from it —why has he not come to
arrest my person! Is he deterred by the fear
that some one will urge payment of the revvaid
that he has olfered for bis shindetl None here
have faith enough in his declaration, even when
made through the public prints, to undertake tlia
commission of any act on bis responsibility for
payment—they nr.i 100 familiar with the shuf
flings of “Mr. Snooks. ’ If ho will come I pro-'
niise to present myself to him, and so far from
claiming bis proffered reward, will give him end
p.opoitinned to Ills merits.
