UNsoUND AND ILLEGAL BANKING

One of the means by which unsound banks have
prolonged their existence and their scheme of depre-
dating upon the safety fund if not the public, has been
the pledge of their notes to other banks as security
for loans. This has been fruitful source of evil
and while it has contributed to the public injury and
TO depredatons upon the fund destined as resource to
the honest holders of notes legitmately issued and
legmately in circulation it has served to bring the
whole system into doubt and disrepute.
We have striking illustration of this abuse in the
fact stated on credable authority that the notes is
sued and claimed to be in circulation by the CONNER
cia Bank of Buffalo, amounted to $500, 000-S200,-
600 beyond their legal limit,
No one will pretend that circulation of this mag
nitude-n violation of law, and in gross prostitution
of every principle of the safety fund deposte -
could have been obtained except through the agency
of other banks, which have an equal interest, and
ought to have a paramount desire, to protect the
safety fund from dishonest and illegal Violation
scarcely possible that such practices could have
cen persisted in, to extent outrageous in the
instance of the Commercial Bank of Buffalo, without
the knowledge of the Bank Commissioners If they
brought to the discharge of their duties the least eff
CHENEY and dscernment, they could not have been
ignorant Of this practice, and in this instance, of a
gross violation of law But report adds even to this
derecton of duty. II says that the Commissioners are
in favor of resuscitatng the Commercial Bank if the
Injunction can be removed by farther cxpcdients,
and perhaps farther pledges of It's notes. We will
not hastily believe such report For who will ina
cine that bank which has been guilty OF fragrant
violation of law sufficient of itself to work instant
forfeiture of its charter can be revived by eXpe-
dent with the assent or acqucscence OF the Commits
.ioncrs;

ANOTHER INDIAN OUTRAGE-MURDER
AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.

For some time past citizens in this section Of
country East of the st. Johns have been ulled into
apparent security, under the idle and vague belief
that there was no danger to be apprehended, since
the notorious Wild Cat and his party, who were be-
leved to be the only Indians who have from time to
time committed depredations this side of the river,
were shipped to the West But we have now to re-
cord the fact that Monday last party of twenty
one Indians approached the settlements at Mandarin,
and after capturing an old negro belonging to Mr..
William Hartly, laid by until night when they at
tackled the house of that gentleman (Wm. Hartly J
who happended to be out hunting, killing his wife and
child, and Messrs. Domingo Acosta, and William
Mopus. The Indians, after committing the foul
deed plundered the house and applied the torch, 1t
was consumed, together with the out-buildings-
They then proceeded to the plantations of Nathaniel
and George Harty, the inmates having fled and
likewise burnt and destroyed them. The Indians
then proceeded short distance in southery direc-
ton, where they encamped until morning, when
they released the old negro and proceeded on their
course.
Capt Curry of Mandarin, with few other citi-
zens, followed their trail the next day for some dis
lance until it was finally lost
On rumor of this transaction reaching town, 1t.
Judd, with small detachment Of soldiers from the
Barracks the only available force, Immediately pro
ceeded in pursuit.
The Indians are still believed to be North of the
Picolata road no signs have been discovered of
their re-crossing.
We cannot too strongly urge upon Col. Worth the
proprety of keeping force III this section sufficient
" strong to render citizens that protection TO
which they are Justly entitled. Many Of them had
returned to their abandoned places, and others were
making preparations for that purpose but now their
hopes are all frustrated, there can be no possible
security until the last Indian is hunted out OF Florida
Col. Worth has been, and is now vigorously pur-
suing the Indians in the Southern part of the PENN
sula and many of them, knowing that the greater
part of the troops are operating in that section will
fall in the rear and attack the unprotected settle
ments

half past O'Clock yesterday afternoon, says the Al
bany Daily Advertiser of Monday, two Locomotive
Engines, the Hampton and the Norfolk with their
tenders, arrived at Greenbush from Chatham. They
came over the road without encounterng any other
obstacle than that presented by foot of snow
Thus the railroad chain between Albany and Boston
is at lie 18th complete. 1t will be seen by adver-
tsement that the first train of will start from
this city for the East on Tuesday morning The

says:

LITERATURE IN THE AzoREs.-There is not a sin
gle book-shop in st. Michael's; and told that
not one is to be found in either Of the islands Those
who buy books, send to England, or America, or
Lisbon for them. The British and Foreign Bible
Society in England sent Portuguese Bibles here
some years ago but it is said that they remained in
the custom-house until they were decayed (Which,
as the custom-house is the sea, and the things
easily spoil by damp, might speedily be the case }
and that they were afterwards removed it is not
known where. Certainly, with the exception of my
own Testament which | lost very unaccountably
soon after landing, have not seen single version
of the Bible since have been here. In cottage
into which we went the other day; were d beauti-
fully printed French copy of Virgil an odd volume
of the Odcs of Horace with French prose transa-
tion three grammars of the French, Latin, and Por-
tuguese languages; one or two theological works in
Portuguese with as many short stories of no apparent
religious or political tendency, and French transa-
ton Of Eschylus. They belonged to pains
taking youth, who might probably have been reading
for the church, and who, with this tendency upon
him begged of us, through his servant, pair OF
gloves of "a sad color to wear in the Good Friday

AN INDIAN Manufactured from the third vo-
lume of Mr. Bancrofts History If mother lost her
babe, she would cover it with bark and envelope it
anxously in the softes beaver skins at the burial
she would put by its side its cradle its beads, and its
rattles and as last service of maternal love,
would draw milk from her bosom in a cup of bark
and burn il in the fire, that her infant might still find
nourishment in the land Of shades Yet the new born
babe would be buried, not as usual, on a scahold,
but by the wayside that its spirit might secretly
steal into the bosom of some passing maron, and be
born again under happier auspices. On burying her
daughter the Chippewa mother adds not snow shoes,
beads, and moccasns only, but (sad embems of wo-
mans lot in the wilderness the carrying belt and the
paddle. know my daughter will be restored to me,
