UNITED STATES BANK-So mucl, has been said
of various Branches having been sold out, that
have asccrtaincd, from authentic source, that
tn. following Branches have been disposed of:
Branch at Portsmouth Branch at Charleston
Hartford Mobile
Burlington \. Orleans
Utica Natchcz
Buffalo 81. Louis
Baltimore Louisville
Fayetteville Cincinnati
Lexington.
The other Branches will be closed soon as
practicable, the objectofthc Bank being to efec,
final close on terms most agreeable TO the conunu-
, nifty where the debt contracted. We doubt it
TN. retreat ot the Bank before powerful and ac-
tive opponent will not figure hereafter as bright
page in the history of Finance.
To the Commercial Public have only one
word to add, that in all cases where they are dis
= posed to find fault with the Bank, for refusing to
take drafts on places where they had Branches
;, established and which now closed, or are in
. the course of closing, the g law directs" they
, should weigh the matter, and ask how far-it will
be the duty of the Dcposiie Banks TO supply the
:, facilities heretofore afforded. We have always
. believed that the State Banks could not, from tho
= nature Fittings, DO what the United States Bank
has done, and doing. One boat Of ten tons
- NAV do 4 certain duty, but ten boats Of the 50 me
q tonnage, though they combine power OF one hun
