Planters Bank Of Mississippi ut N0tchez.-
We are gratified tolearn thatrecent advices from
NatcheZ do no confirm the letters received a
few days since from the west that the bank had
stopped payment. We are informed by a bro
ker here that there can be no truth in the story,
on the contrary, that large sums have been re-
Gently RENTED them, and the bank has solid
capital and ought to enjoy the confidence of
the public-N Y Dai. Ado.
The Figure Head for the Fngate Constitution,
being no more nor less than a full length eflgy
of our present president, Gen. Andrew Jackson,
was taken from the city, we understand, yester-
day morning, in boat, guarded by strong
body, to the Navy Yard at Charlestown. Con-
siderable excitement was produced when it was
first known, as it had been supposed that the
officers having the frigate in charge, had con-
cluded to concede something to the feeling of
the people and abandon their plan. tits report

sist i'm its removal and it is sincerely to be hop
ed that this report may prove true.

PROSPECT BEFORE US.

tim0re Patriot.
see in the northern papers high hopes held
out that Mr.. Calhoun's plan of compromise
will succeed Flatter yourselfwith no such pros
meet at present. It's true, that Mr.. Calhoun
made a speech, which was the most plausible
and the best calculated to effect a compromise,
of any speech that has yet been made. 1t was
full of glowing truth displayed in the fewest
words. 1t was made with the best wishes for
the good of the country, and will DO much, as
has his course all this winter, towards re-eleva-
ting him to that lofty position he once held, but
the days for such inteects as Calhoun's, Gays,
and Webster's are over. Is not Andrew jack
son at the helm, and does he not know every
thing from ''financery to necromancy" to quote
the language of the illustrious Downing! Mer-
chants have no influence with their miserable
petitions" Albert Gaatin is but fool in IL
nance to Amos Kendall. Mr.. Cahoun's mind
must lie dormant in these days. The reign OF
men Of his caste is over. He and Clay were
good for something during the last war But
the Kitchen Cabinet is now omniscient as well
as omnipotent. Webster can do nothing. Cal
houn can do nothing. All interests in this coun-
try must suffer and bitterly suffer, till the Elk
pertinent is worked out unless all interests
speak at the Polls in voice that will make the
White House quake.

Wine.-Jemsheed, the founder of Personals

who invented wine. He was immoderator
fond Of grapes, and desiring to preserve some
they were placed for this purpose in a large YES.
sell and lodged in a vault for future use. When
the vessel, was opened the grapes had fermen
ted and their juice in this state was so acid
that the king believed it must be poisonous. He
had some vessels filled with and poison written
upon each; they were placed in his room. /
happened that one his fayorite ladies was az
fected with a nervous headache (Hyphas) and
the pain distracted her so much, that she desi
red death. Observing vessel with poison writ
ten on if, she took it, and swallowed its con.
tents. The wine, for such it had become over.
powered the lady who fell down into a SOUND
sleep, and awoke much refreshed. Delighted
with the remedy, she repeated the dose so Of
ten, that the monarch's poison was all drunk
He soon discovered this, and forced the lady 70
confess what she had done. A quantity Of vim
was made, and Jemsheed and all his court drank
Of the new beverage; which, from the crcum.
stance that led to its discovery, is this day
known in Persia by the name Of Zeber-e Ko0.

Judge Uashington's opinions Of General Jack
son-In the course of the excellent and forcible
remarks which Judge Bayard submitted to the
meeting recently held in the borough of Prince
ton, IN. j. at Blackwell's Hotel, he related the
following striking remark which Judge Wash
ington made, in a conversation with him, at the
time when Gen: Jackson was first thong ut ofas
Judge,-after expressing his profound surprise
at the nomination." Sir, know the man per-
fectly. He is plain, honest, and patriotic; but
if he should ever take up the idea that a certain
course Of conduct was his duty no matter how
preposterous it may be, there is no law or con.
stitution that he will not break down and tram
pie under his feet in the prosecution of it." 1t
was fortunate for the venerable and clear sight
ed Jurst that he did not live to see how terribly
MS prediction was to be fulfilled; but, to our

The Post office Department-Itis said that the
Kitchen Cabinet are becoming excessively
alarmed about the investi alton into the affairs
ofthis department. The rottenness which has
already been exposed to the public eye, by Mr.
Barry's own confession, is said to be soundness
itself when compared to the putrescence which
the searching operations Of the committee will
bring to light. The fear of this investigation is
believed to be the true cause of the anxiety of
the Kitchen Cabinet to get rid Of Congress-
