The Capture of Herat by the Persians. Horrible Atrocities !—The details of the cap ture of Herat by the Persians, recall the scenes of famine which preceded the surrender of Kars: “The beseifted defended themselves obsti nately, with all the desperation of fanaticism ; for the hatred of the opposing Maliomedan sects mingled with the political questions at is sne and the struggle had commenced within the walls of the Herat, with a massacre of the co-religionists of the Persians. The troops of Shah, therefore, began the attack with all the bitterness of revenge, believing themselves en gaged in a holy war against heretics. Being superior in discipline to the Affganswhofonght in Herat, and. being led, by skillfu( Trench and German engineers, tl* .Persians, soon became masters of the* outworks of the city.; ‘ Many Affghans deserted. Dost Mahammed,King of the Caboul, who was expected by the beseiged, did not appear. It was impossible to get a supply of provisions into the city. Then com menced the-horrors of the famine, while the epidemics which always follow in its train deci mated the garrison and inhabitants. Finally, the besieged surrendered, overcome with hun ger, fever and weakness. The victory was sustained by the cruelty of the Persian character, which is veiled under an external show of politeness and refinement. After the capture of the city, the Persian General, Mahammcd Yousouf Khan, put to death Esa Khan, the leader of the besieged, and had him quartered and hung up at the city ;gates, threatening by proclamation to serve in like manner all who might refuse submission to the conqueror. His two children were after wards assassinated. Even if, as alleged, the family of Esa Khan took part in the massacre which caused the war, this atrocious revenge Vould be none the less odious. Banks in the United States.—From the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it ap pears that there are 1,398 chartered banks and branches iu the Hinted States, with a cap ital of $344,000,000, and private banks with a capital of $118,000,000, or a combined capital of $462,000,000, and with a combined circula tion for the chartered banks of 169,000,000 (the unchartered banks having no circulation,) and with deposites in the charted banks ot $212,000,000, (the uuchartered banks showing no deposites, and no gold and silver.) The gold and silver in the chartered banks amount to about- $60,000,000. An estimate of one half the amount in tlie unchartered banks, iu proportion to capital, would give $10,000,000 more, and make $70,000,000 in both, An es timate made of one half of the amount of de posits in the unchartered banks, in proportion | to the amount in the chartered banks, would j give at least 38,000,000 in those banks, and j make $250,000,000-’ of deposites in the charter- j ed and unchartered banks. The chartered bank have an aggregate of $804,535,362 due, on the bill and discount line, maturing, on an average, in from one to ninety days, and bank and other balances due to them, to the amount of 62,639,725, payable on demand.-Ex.

Pine Grove Lodge, 1 Henry County Ga., ) At a called meeting, we the following commit tee, to whom was referred the duty of preparing suitable resolutions expressive of the memory of our dear beloved Brother, who departed this life Nov. 2t>th 1856, suddenly, with an attack of apo plexy, will respectfully submit the following. We are reminded of the uncertainty of life ami the certainty of death—that we live in a land of shadows, a fruitful field of flaming promises alone. We had every reason to believe that our brother, C W Black, lived the life of a good mason; and that he is gone, and the struggles of rductaut na ture over, his body sleeps in death, and the soul returned to God, to Paradise; but there is no ap peal or relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and lade as the leaves of the forest. In the death of our departed brother, we lost one of our brightest jewelsjhis wife a loving Husband,and his doting mother an obedient son.— An i in token of our sincerity, be it therefore R solved, That, we deeply sympathise w th the bereaved lamily of our uoccased brother in their irreparable loss.

He is active and energetic, often so far as to go beyond his strength He is frank and open-hearted, and possesses an extremely hopeful disposition. He sets his standard high,and in justice 1 must say, he strives nobly to come up to it. As you would infer from the above, he is a hard working man in-School—his whole soul is in his work. He has a happy faculty for t raking up and securing the attention of his Pupils, i never knew an instance of a scholar who was not devotedly attached to him, and no one who knows him will question liis success as a teacher.
