The National Intelligencer in reference to Mir.

The National Intelligencer in reference to Mir. Ewing's plan of bank, says:
 ''We call this 'the Treasury project became it emanaes from that Department, and because we do mol feel authorized to call it a Cabinet measure, though we have doubt of its having the appruba- tion of majority of the heads of departments.'
 There is good deal of meaning in this brief sen tence. It shows that portion of the cabinet is op- posed to the plan and, deduction, that its mem bers at loggerheads on the subject. The Nat lneligencer itsef is at the head of the opposition clique, which, therefore, be the stronger, and MT. Clay is al the bottom of it, The Tyler pal ty approve the plan; the Clay party wants fifty mill lion bank, fixed influence the succession; and the Wise party, followed by the impractcables are standing somewhat aloof watching both of the others
 We'll see anon which of these divisions is to gam the ascendency. We expect, however, that a com promise will be made, which will divest Mr. Ewng's plan of of its "checks and securities" ''Bel- ter thus," reason the Clay party, 'than have no bank at alb
 The Tyler scruples have evidently brought down some of the high expectations of the Clay clique. If Harrison had lived, this bank proja would have been altogether another sort of affair, That's plain.

See the report of the speech of Mir. Wise, in the house on the 14th If that gentleman continue to expose the abolition tendencies of his party in this style, we shall soon expect to sec him drummed out of the ranks. Of thirteen standing committees Tn the house, nine of the Chairman are Aboltionists and the remainder is composed of federallsts of the real Boston blue-light stamp.
 These curious facts, as the Globe observes, look very much like coalition on the part of the scr, Mir. Clay, to secure the eastern.s states.

Some of the citizens of Autauga, believing the Branch Bank at Montgomery to be incapable of ta- king care of itsef recently held meeting to make inquiries of that institution respecting the character of several notes and bills of exchange negotiated hy il for certain individuals of that county. The bank very compacently furnished the information required, by which it appears that five of the said notes, a- mounting in the aggregate to $l5,OO0, are totally worthIess-that they discounted for individuals without character and means, and that the names ap- pended to some of them are forgeries, These notes are drawn by different individuals and all accepted by person named D. H. Stickney. They are en- dorsed by different names, and recommended by Dix on II. Hall and others.
 In Jackson county, similar ''fiauds" have been committed. The editor of the Jacksonville Republi- can states, that he shown list of twenty-four forwarded to that place from the Montgomery Bank, which names were signed to notes discounted at the Bank of Montgomery some time about the lst of May for about agh thousand dollars. Although tolerably well acquainted in this county, (that paper says) we do not know sngle individual of the twen- ty-four, and some of our citizens who are best ac- quainted, have little knowledge of them we have. There can be little doubt that every one of these names forged. Among the which declared to be forged, those of Gen. Walker and Stephen Kelly, Representatives from Jackson.
 The most singular part of the proceedings of the Autauga meeting the passage of resolution, questng the bank to furnish list of the bills and notes discounted during the two three past years.
 To us this kind of popular supervision to parake good deal of the character of the lynch law, and how far it should be allowed question of ,e- " serious importance.

TIE CoTros Caop.-From all the information we can gather respecting coming Cotton crop, the prospects for an abundant one are pretty good. Along the Misss sppi and in parts of Louisiana and Georgn the plant is stated to be forward and healthy In South Alabama some apprehension has been expressed of the ravages of yermn and in south Carolina according the Mercury, the baukwurness of spring and the droughts have checked inc crops and will be likely 10 inhct then injury Al present. the weather is decided N Favorable and the cotton region have been generally visited by the alternate rain and sunshine which have prevailed in Mobile there is probability that, if late the plant may from the effects of the drought
 The New Orleans Bulletin publishes T well-wrtien communication this subject, signed by D. H. Payne,an extensive cotton grower, deprecang the injurious effects the interests o the planters, of giving exaggerated ac- of prolific crops. He thinks oo that the harvest of the present year will be elcien and the argument for his opinion Is brief, il follows in his own words
 -When became plauer, my enquiries satisfied my mind ha every gentleman had sut geReris, d way u guessing peculiar to hmse and no Ned principle on which to form his opinion. This induced me 10 make planting register which the time of planting-coming up-growth- -blooming--npenng. &e were all carefully noted, with observations the weather The doing of ihs has given the following results. My cotton planted the various stated abou the usua time that

 These data may be of some far they go, but they seem to altogether 100 slender foundation to build deanve opinion upon. We should prefer the present condition of the crops criterion any spec ulave argument of the kind if it the result of much longer experience.
