MILITARY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
THE FLAG TO THE RIFLE GUARDS Be-
rsINNER tn THE GOVERNOR, e.

Our town presented q scene on Saturday last
which will not soon fade from the recollection OF tho
citizens of this District. 1t the day appointed by
His Excellency Gov. RIcnARDsos, to review the
Twenty Second Regiment Of South Carolina MI
a and also selected for the presentation of splcn
did Flag, richly embroidered and ornamented ny the
Ladies Of Camden, to the DcKalb Rife Gulrds.
The day was beautiful, and the Regiment was as
full as we have seen it for years past. The eVolu-
tions on the field were performed with regularity
and precision which drew from His Excellency, in
his address TO the Regiment, the highest praise He
partieul1rized tho Guards a volunteer corps, not
surpassed by any in tho State, and paid handsome
compliment to the fourth Company, commanded by
Capt. w. ]. TAYLOR. In the course Of his address
sent in command, and referred fcelingly and uppro-
prutely to the unrng zeal and patriotism of the late
lamcnted commander of the Regiment, Col. JoHH
CHEsSuT. His Excellency's tribute to the memory
of this excellent citizen, patriot and soldier, we i'e,
assured met sympathetic response in the O0s0H' u
every one who heard him.
After the Regiment had gone through the eVolu-
tions appointed for the day, they marchea TO Inc
Presbyterian Church, the place selected ior inc care
mony of presenting the Flag to the Rlhe 0aards.
The Regiment was drawn up in close order in
front of the Monument erected by our citizens to
the memory of the heroic DeKalb, while the spa
cious porch of the Church and numerous carriages
in tho circle as we'll the piazzas Of the adjacent
buildings wcro crowded with the beauty and fashion
Of the town and surrounding country, all assembled
to witness the interesting ceremony, and adding in

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Union
Bank in Charleston recently held, they resolved, by
very large majority, to accept of the provisions ol
the act of the last Legislature, to provide against
the suspension of specie payments by the Banks Of
this State The Board of Directors of the Planters
and Mechanics Bank have adopted set of resOlu-
tions, which is equivalent to an acceptance OF the
provisions of the act. g..,...g. !.
1t is matter of regret that all the Banks did moi
at once, yield to the requsitions of the Legislature.
II would have put an end to discussion which is
likely 10 grow out of this question. and which we
fear is to do infinite mischief before it is finally ad
justed.

Tho stoam ship Caledonia arrived at Boston on

Liverpool twenty-five days later than those previous

brisk, though there was but little variation in prices
since the last accounts. The accounts of the s,s-
pension of the United States Bank had just reached
Liverpool as the Caledonia left, and created quite
sensation though not altogether unexpected. There
was no time to learn what effect the suspension
would have upon the Cotton market. 1t would GER
tainly affect very seriously the prices of American

that it will, at least tend to check any advance In
