A correspondent of the American gives his
ideas Uf Bank of the United States, and the
powers aud attributes with which it should
be invested, somewhat after the style Of Jack
Downing. We copy them entire:
1.-THE truth nf the matter is, good sound
National Bank is the protection. and the best
and only one, that Congress can invent for
all the States IF tie Uni0,., and espcinlly tor
those States anosl down ut heel; bmt they
don't seem to see it yet. The cunning ones
tell 'cm, look at the last Bank-see what a
blow up was there. To be sure it carried
things on we'll enough for twenty years, but
it ended in ruin &c. &c. The simple ones
say, this is true, and SO we better ;'ave no
more Banks But say, the National Bank
never did blow up; it went to the end OF ITS
charter. and paid Uncle Sam IL per cent.
premium on seven millions Of the stock he
held in it, besides dividends; and who will
deny this Aft it was rotten then, Uncle Sam
ought to pay back this diference-but the
Bank that blew up was not u National Bank.
Now, suppose we take the good old ship
Constitution, 'Old Ironsides,' and tell1her to
haul down her national flag. and take away
from her the rules and regulations OF the
NAVY. and tell her she is no longer a nation
al ship, and to 20 about her business, and
she goes to another nation. and hoists an-
other flag, and they choose to keep her name
on her stern, and she gets in a scrape, and
gets lick'd and thresh'd to spliRters-what
has that to do with the former glory of Old
IrOnsides ?-shall we forget or hide her bright
deeds, and look OILY to the misfortunes she
was driven to! Is this common sense and
mother wit!
"If we want another Old Ironsides, shall
we say, take care, remember how she end
ed her days-let us have no more such
ships = or shall we say-'yes, give us just
such another, and when we have her again,
let US remember our folly in driving her from
the service of the country. and in attempting
to disgrace her, disgrace our
selves"
ROGUE CAUGHr.-Our readers will recol-
lect an account which we gave few days
since of the disappearance of a young man
IN Cabotvillc, Springfield, in this state, who

Unlocking fellow of about 30 years Of age,

ported to be a partner of the father of the
