II will be rembe mbered that when the various Free
Banking Beauties Of this city, such as the Chelsea
and City Trust and others first went into operation
we warned the public against the refarious opera
tons ofthe spectators concerned in them. The
suit Of these warnings was to prevent the public
from being plundered in hundreds Of Instances to
the amount Of many thousands OF dollars. In in
stance in particular, lot Of produce purchased with
City Trust Post Notes, reached this city the day
expose given, and the owner held ON To the
goods until he obtained good money for the In
another instance, fellow in the act Of purchas
ing large quantity Of sugarat Charleston, :. c.,
with City Trust post notes the day that expose
reached that city. The result was that he had to
cut and run, and leave the sugar behind him, aud
the post notes too. On third occasion publish
ed the following paragraph in relation TO a new
branch Of the City Trust Co. and Jackson, the dis
tributor Of their post notes.
"This new bank issioeated upstairs. in the same

the beauties of free banking przctsed in the pre-
sent day"
Ga the day before our paper containing this para

morning commenced purchasing cotton. lie had
purchased nearly $40 bales. when the "Ncw York
Herald" arrived in Columbus with the above expose
of this very Jackson. The merchants and traders
crowded round the paper, and then crowded after
him holly that he decamped before night, leaving
the cotton behind him, which the bank took posses
