MONEY MATTERS, BANKS, &c.-We
have understood that a recluse. who
dwells4n a tent near this city and esch-
ews the society of man, gave little boy
on Sasurday S25 Brandon note, "red
back" at that, for three little fish. We
have understood that DIR. Pickett, one of
the directors of the Brandon Bank, de-
clared in jackson that he would not care
ifthe banks paper would fall to ten cents
on the dollar. The lower it gets the bet
ter for the directors; as they are the prin-
cipal debtors to the bank, and as they used
the money at par for the purchase ofland
and negroes, all about the same time, and
Of course before the public was aware OF
the amount to be in circulation, DIR. Puck
ett and the rest of the directors can now
easily buy it up and pay for their planta
tons at ten cents for every dollar. A
loan from the Union Bank will enable them
to do this; and Eext veal portion OF their
crops will enable them to purchase up
Union Bank notes at 20 or 80 per cent.
discount, and thus the whole plantations
will be free. This banking business is
the shortest road to wealth ever yet in
vented; and we see no prospect of bring
ing it to close, unless his honor, Judge
Lynch, trips up the heels of the swind-
lers. But we are opposed to the Lynch
code.
The "Madison County" Bank, and the
"Pearl River and Turnpike" Bank, with
their "real estate pledged to the amount
Of two millions" stamped in large charac-
ters on the face of their notes, are as bad
as the Brandon, Grenada, or Holly Springs,
and worse, if possible. We saw apoor
man the other day burn $50 Madison
bill, which had been imposed on him for
his labor. The officers and agents, ex-
cept one, Of these constitutions of our
country" have, we understand, gone to
Texas, and when the note-hoders look al
ter ''reaI estate pledged" they find it
mon cum dttibus in sicamPo." No real
estate ever was pledged. The last we
heard of the Bank of Vicksburg, she was
proposing to redeem her notes with Citi-
zens' Bank Of Madison County, abore ten
dollars. So we 90.
fall men in Mississippi who have en-
gagged in banking during the last three
years, for the purpose of making large for
tunes without dollar capital, were now
toclose their hanks and turn out highway-
men, we have no doubt but the change
would have tendency to elevate the
tone of public morals. Such a reform
would have happy effect on the pecuni-
ary as well as the moral condition of our
people. In three years, Mississippi would
get clear of her difficulties. VicksJurg

brought into the state; short sighted
measure, which has loaded the state
with an immense debt, increased the
disorders Of the currency and absolute
ly ruined the public finances. If this
bank had not been created, and if the
other monied institutions had been
compelled to meet their obligations or
Gquiuate, the unassisted industry and
energy of the farmers and planters,
would long since have extricated them
from their embarrassmcnts, and they
would now enjoy in undisturbed tran
guilty, the revenues Of their planta-
tons.
A very able writer in the Piney
Woods Planter, states the interest on
banking capital paid by the people of
Mississippi at $I6,l28,000 per annum.
His enumeration OF the various classes
ofinhabitants is singular, but probably
Just; he says there are in the state thir-
ty-6ye thousand free white male citi
zens over twenty one years of age, of
this number he estimates that one thou
sand are engaged in miring liquor, Sc
ven hundred and fifty in MAILING paper
n'oney, about one thousand in the lau-
dable occupation of pleading lap, ex,
pounding the scriptures, manufacturing
pills, and teaching the young idea how
to shoot; the aggregate number ofidl-
ers is estimated at three thousand six
hundred and forty, leaving thirty-one
thousand three hundred and sixty per-
sons engaged in agriculture, commerce,
and the mechanic arts. The interest
on the banking capital is paid, there
fore, by these persons; and consequent
ly each of them pays a tribute to the
banks of $3.50 per annum, as a com
pensation for the disgrace, misery and
ruin which they have brought upon the
state.----Lousianiaa.

The thrilling tone of voices early loved;
And all love on earth, but he, are near,
All whom have so long and deeply proved
But he is absent-ah, that he should roam
Although 'the west presents thee prospects high
Though down its rivers wealth & grandeur roll
And hope may dance before thy longing eye,
And ten thee thou may'st reach the wish'd for

For wealth and fame can but an hour endure.
Come to the hearts thatlov thee--come & bless
The fleeting moments of a mothers life;
To her fond love, what is the worlds cares!
What its ambitious hopes-its mad'ning strife
What seek'st thou there, that thou alone should
From those that love thee! Brother come, come

Come for thy sire awaits thee-though he's shrank
From the proud world, since Heaven has bow

Ofsorrow's bitter cup he's deeply drank,
And looks upon this life almost with dread
Yet come thee, brother, thou art not forgot,

But shrink thou not-thou'rt e'en more deep

And Hope our pathway with bright visions

HUMAN HAPPINESS.

This life is fevered unsatisfying state of
existence, and man is a restless creature -
Be his rank, or station, or circumstances
what they may, it matters not; there remains
ever an object unattained, on which his eye
rests, and for which his heart yearns with
unsuitable craving. So long as that object
is unpossessed, he is unhappy; and when
obtained, how often is it flung aside as the
useless toy of child. Splendor and afflu-
ence may sprinkle mis- pathway with rose
leaves-gratiied ambition may fling its gol-
den halo around his brow-pleasure may
envelope him in her elysium of seductions !;
every department Of nature and of art may
be ransacked for the elements of happiness,
and then from all of them he may turn a.
way, fainting, weary, sick in soul with un-
satisfied aspirations.
Who has not in the beautiful day-dreams
of excited fancy-when he has cast loose
the reins of imagination, and, for brief sea
son, has permitted his thoughts and his feel
ings unrestrained to revel in the fairy realms
of the worldwide, at such an hour, has not
traced out upon his minds tablet the out
lines of scheme of happiness, which he
may never enjoy, and, in conception sum
moned up paradise OF bliss, of which this
earth knows not2 Who in fancy has no
spread out to his vision greener fields thar
ever, even in boyhood's hour he has frolic
ked on-bathed his fevered lip in freshel
fountains than ever gushed from the rock
and traced above him bluer skies. and richer
sunlight than evercanopied earthg
