THE CUkRENJt-IHE AIUNE1 FhE@S
sURE-THE PET BANKS.

~ - -
Under this head we have placed in another
column, several articles, copied from the New
York papers, which we especially commend to
The attention Of our readers, as calculated TO give
them some insight into a subject which is every
dav becoming more interesting. Every bank IN
the country is closed as tight as a mer
chants, mechanics, tradesmen Of all conditions
as well as agriculturalists, many Of them able
and willing 10 show undoubted evidences Of sol
yeEcy and wealth are straining every nerve and
making immense sacrifices 10 pay their oeDts
and protect their credit. The city merchant
tells his country dealers that he can got no &C
commod alton except from the Brokers at an e
normous premium, aud that his only resource is
in their punctuality. The country merchant re-
peats this to his customers and tells them that
he must 20 by the board, unless they pay
The customer duns his neighbor in vain and re-
ports TO his creditor that be can get no money
to pay with.
This, we take il, is just about the condition oi
the country at this moment, and if no relief is at
hand, merchants must fail aud portions of every
class Of the community must sacrifice property or
fail with them. This state Of things is in some
degree attributable to the late failure in the crops,
hut no intelligent mind can conceive that this
cause alone could produce the result. The alb
surd and oppressive Treasury Circular works
more powerfully. The distribution Of the Sur
plus Revenue lends a hand in checking the In.
mense business done by the deposite banks on
the government money without lean or security.
But tie remedy for this would be Immediately
at hand, in the notorious fact that the money al
though drawn from the pet banks, would not be
drawn from circulation, but placed immediately
in other banks that would discount it, and even
discount in anticipation oft. What then is the
cause? why, the evidence thickens every day,
of the fac. long since charged by sagacious and
honest fnanciers that the brokers who are full
handed-whose means appear TO extend with
the causes that contract the means Of every 9th.
er class, are furnished by the government, indi
rcctly through their banking agents, with funds
to be loaned in any amount TO any one that can
pay interest at the rate Of from IS to rs per cent
a year.

Gg@There is, in one Of the Boston churches, a
choir Of singers composed entirely Of blind per-
sons. They are pupils Of 10 institution for the
instruction Of the blind, where they learn the
hymns previous to the day of worship, and sing
them without variation from the text, with a
clear pronunciation and exquisite and touching
melody. They are thus enabled, while the
world with its pleasing and desirable objecIs is
forever shut out from their vision, to assist in
one Of the most pleasing acts of worship TO that
being whose mysterious providence has denied
them the blessing Of beholding the works of his
power.

ELECTION


LoUIsIANA.-The Mobile Mercan.
tile Advertiser of the Goth ult. recei.
ed by express mail, gives us the latest
intelligence from Louisiana. Through
that source we obtain the following
items-which leave the case pretty
much as it has been for several days
past:
The n. Orleans Standard, %(neutral
paper) Of the Gath inst. says: ''ln CON-.
pany with two or three other gentle.
men, we obtained the official returns Of
the election in this State, as far as re.
ceived at the Governors office, and the
authentic accounts otherwise received,
and find that all counties or parishes
have been heard from, except Clai-
borne, and that they give a malorityof
30 for Van Buren,. But should Clai.
borne give the counterbalancing maio.
rity expected, the vote ofLouisiana will
be for the White electoral ticket"
The New Orleans Bee, Jackson pa.
PERI of the same date, says: "All the
returns of this State have been recel.
we'd officially except five. The demo-
cratic ticket is 207 votes ahead, but
our probable majority will be about
272. In no event will il be less than
300"
The Globe has the following sum.

We add some letters received by
the last mail, and some struggling re-
turns from newspapers, which go far
to satisfy us that Illinois, Missouri and
Arkansas, as we'll as Louisiana and Al.
ALBANIA, have given majorities for the
republican ticket"
As for us, we are not exactly salts
fed that the States named by the
Globe have gone tor Van Buren,, for
that is what the official means by the
term republican ticket but we still
incline to the opinion, expressed seve.
raj days ago, that such has been the
probable result, and we see no good
reason why Mississippi may not be
added to the list.
