ILLINOIS STATE BANK.

The ST. Louis Republican Of the 22d ultmo
says: yesterday was one of the most exciting
days ever witnessed 10 the money circles Of
this city. Wherever two or three were TO-
gether, the subject was the Illinois Banks
On the opening of the Offices in the morning,
Messrs. Renoist 81 Co. refused to receive the
paper Of the State Bank of Illinois. Shortly
after the Perpetual office declined to receive
it on deposite or in payment of notes, excep,
for notes which they had themselves discoun-
ted. The Bank of Missouri repudia,ed it en-.
tirely, and several of the Brokers and other
companies followed suit.
Such was the state of affairs yesterday, what
to-day may bring forth, it is impossible to
say; but unless some very strong move is made,
the circulation of the notes of the State Bank
may be considered as ended. Mr.. Ridgely,
the Cashier is expected to-day; we fear he
comes too late to effect any thing
The Republican adds--"that the Bank OF
Illinois is the only standard of value at present.
and the only one which is received currently
at the Bank and all the Offices" and that the
State Bank has not met the crisis as was ex-
pected of her."

box and started towards home, chuckling over
his good trade, while the lady entered behind
her counter and, as Dan Marble would say,
"laughed right out" On examining the arti-
cles she had obtained, however, she soon saw
they were not what they were cracked up TO
be, and finally threw them among other rub
Dish, as totally valueless and unsaleable. On
reaching his hut the pedlar ventured into an
examination of the wares he had secured
His curses, il not loud, were deep, when he
discovered that his hair oil was nothing but
coiored water, his tooth powder clean white
ashes, and his cake of soap compound of
sawdust and paste, neatly enveloped in a
gaudy wrapper. Weary miserable and dis.
gusted, tired of the world and all that it in
herits. he threw himself upon his bed and en-
deavored to forget his cares in
"lnnocent sleep:
Sleep. that knits up the rsys!I'd sleeve of care;
The death of each days hse-sors labot's bath;
Balm OF hart minds. great Natures second course,
Chief nourisher in iife's fsast:'
The great mora! OF this, our tale stands out
in bold and startling relief. From the high.
est 10 the humblest we have our Affections and
adversities. The poor pedlar, who, when he
attempted to cheat, and in the upshot found
himself cheated, undoubtedly fancied he was
the most miserable and prosecuted object up
on the face OF the earth. The past was blank,
and contemplation Of the future made him
shudder. Pecuniary ruin stared him in the
face and dim visions of the healing power OF
the bankrupt law hoated before his magma
tlon:--and yet thousands of self-sufficient and
presumptive fools in this wide world imagine
themselves to be more desolate and unfortu-
nate than this poor pedler! They need not
unnecessarily flattcr themselves. A thorough
investigation of the things of this life, will
show them that one man is Just about as mis-
cradle as another sin the long run"

THE CURRENT OF MISSISSIPPI R1PU-
DIATION ROLLING RACK


Yesterdays southern mail brings US good
news from Mississippi. The Southron says
says meeting of Democrats was held at the
Capitol on the 5th inst, in which Gen. Quit
man, Judge Ghoson, and otheredistinguishcd
Democrats led. in which thesfolowing resolu-
tons were adopted:
Resolved. That with full knowledge Of the
deplorable evils which have arisen, and must
ever arise, from the connection of Bank and
Understanding in the midst of the dessola-
ton which has been pFoduCed by that connec-
ton, and realizing the fruits of ill.advised and
unfortunate speculation upon the credit of the
State, we, as citizens, still feel il our solemn
duty to admit 10 the world, that these mis-
fortunes have arisen from our own impru-
Idence; that we, ourselves, should abide the
consequences, and not attempt TO relieve our
selves by acts of injustice to innocent strangers.
who have con6ded in the formal land public
acts of our government.
Resolved, That it is our deliberate opinion,
that both the government and the people of
this State, have, by various acts, and at various
times, assented TO and recognised their liability
to pay the bonds of the State, issued for the
Planters and Union Bank stock, and that this
liability of the State, should not be questioned
or repudiated.
Resolved, That a committee of FIVE be ap-
pointed by the chairman, 10 draw up Pream-
bic and Resolutions expressive OF the views
OF the meeting, TO be reported to an adjourned
meeting, to be called by the chairman The
chairman appointed J. A. Quitman. s. J. Ghol-
son, c. P. Smith, L. Sanders, jr., and S. Cooke;
and, on motion, the chairman was added to
said committee.
Our contemporary of the Columbia Obser-
yer in noticing the above. says,-"How must
the cheeks of the regulators Jingle with shame
when they reflect uopn the result of the doc
/ uines lately advanced by them-doctrines
which have met with almost universal execra.
tons from one end of the Union to the other.
And how proud the position, and how envia-
bic in the eyes OF the whole world, Of the no.
bic band of true hearted and patriotic Wings
who stemmed the torrent Of dishonesty and
boldly proclaimed and stood up for the integ-
CITY of their State? Notwithstanding the
evelling doctrines of the Agrarian party to
which they were Numerically opposed, they
manfully resisted the tide of disgrace that was
rolling over the land. Glory to the and
shame TO the other!

A TALE. WITH 4 MORAL.

Various and strange are the vicissitudes OF
trade nova days. Not only are the members
Of our commercial community, great and small,
troubled t'to make strap and buckle Rleet," but
the system Of bOtheration includes in its epeE-
alton all the little fry. Street pedlars-those
queer chaps whose business il is 10 dispose Ut
dry>goods and hnery carried i'll a bex strapped
to their necks--esen they find il difficult TO
make money enough to meet their heavy en-
gagemenss. Shakespeare says,
1.-THE poor beetle that we tread upon.
In corpor~l sufferance, feels pang as great
AS when gisnt Dies
And the poor pedlar who cannot pay the
amount due upon his stock in trade, suffers as
keenly as the merchant who fails for tens of
thousands But we did not start for the pur-
pose of morait.iog, or philosophizing, that is
but poor business, at best. One of those
itinerant vendors Of trifes, to whom we have
made allusion. found, few days ago, that af.
ter travelling until night, and using his lungs
literally in "crying" his wares, he had not sold
enough to purchase "salt for his porridge."
He was just opposite small store, near the
upper extremity of the city, the owner of
whicil-one of the gender feminine--was In
the same lire with himself. She stood in the
door, on the lookout, perhaps, for customers.
The pedlar took off his hat. There was some
thing in her appearance that indicated, to the
observing eye Of our travelling retailer. that
trade having been dull in her quarter, also and
it occurred to him that he might probably
strike bargain with her that would atone for
the losses OF the day. When, therefore, he
asked if he could sell her any thing, and she
invited him to walk in, he felt pretty sure that
ne was in fair way to realize some profit
The lady examined his stock, and fnally told
nm there were some articles she would be
gladto exchange with him. He seemed to Ia
Dor under the impression that he could discover
something werdant in her optic" and as there
was butilttle probability that ne could effect a
cash sale' and as he wished particularly 10 get
rid OF certain things that had troubled him for
long time, he concluded to assent TO the
proposition. The lady exhibited very fine
gilt box, containing one Or two bottles Of hair
oil, some boxes of ooth-powders, cake of
soap, and other trumpery. The goods he
wished to dispose of were not better. As
Doth were concious of cheating, the bargain
was soon agreed TO- The pedlar took up his

STEAM FRIGATE MIssouRI-A very strange
accident happened to this vessel at Brooklyn
Navy Yard on the list inst. The officers were
awakened early in the morning, on finding
the frigate keeling over almost on her beam
ends. At FIRST it was supposed that, as the
tide was falling. some Of the ships works had
got entangled with the wharf. as she swung
away from her moorings, but finding all clean
in that direction, it was soon discovered that
she was aground, and sinking fast in the mud.
On further examination, il was found that
there were five or six feet water in the bold,
which arose from the stop-cocks. for the supply
of the boilers, having been left open. How
this happened. is at present the subject of a
rigid inquiry. Had the frigate been lying in
deep water, in the stream, there seems room
for little doubt that she would have gone
down. As it is, we are happy TO find that she
sustained little injury.

By ALEXANDER COCHRAN, Esq.
The waves are high, the night is dark.
Wild roll the foaming tides,
Dasling around the straining bark,
As galiantly she rides.
"Pilot take heed what course you steer,
Our bark is tempest driven.'
Stranger, be calm, there is no fear
For him who trusts in Heaven!"
'Oh, pilot! mark yon thunder-cloud--
The hghtning's lurid rivers;
Hurk to the wind, it's piping loud
The mainmsst bends and quivers.
Stay, pilot, stay, and shorten sail,
Our stormy tri-sail's riven."
"Stranger,lwhnt mattereth, calm or gale,
TO him who trusts in Heaven"
Borne by the wind, the vessel fees
Up to the thunder-cloud;
Now lettering low, the spray-winged seos
Conceal the top-mast shroud
"Piiot! the waves break DER us fast,
Fainly our bark has striven!"
'AStTanger, the Lord can rule the blast
Gd, put thy trust III Heaven"
Coed hope! good hope! one little star
Cleans DER the waste of waters;
Ills like the light reflected far
OF Beaaty's loveiiest daughters!
stranger, good hope He giyetL thse,
As He has often given;
Then learn this truth,--whate'er may be,
To put thy trust3in Heaven!'
