II will he seen from the above, that in the great
Southern Emporium the attempt 10 resume has been
ernineny unsuccessful. Later accounts say that The
Union Bank has also given wayso that there only
three siandlng-and not much hope is entertained for
their safety. They have suspended, under the plea
that they will again resume the 9Th December, when
the a'o requires them TO pay spece-but we fear that
in that time they will have gone TO he tomb of the
Capue:s From the great excitement that the papers
disclose, there evidently confidence in their
soundness-and we have much reason to believe, thai

Bank was still paying Specie and that that BANK ant
the three Others have mentioned in another article

OF them, and from the Responding tone OF the Bee, We
cannot believe that they will continue long in state
! Of resumption.
