The FIRST BANK OF AMERIcA-In looking
over the old Annals, says the Cincinnati Chron.
Gle, we find that the common idea that the INST
Bank was established in Philadelphia, IS total
mistake. A bank was established seventy years
before TIE period which is assigned as that OF ths
first bank in Pennsylvania. In l7l2, the Legs
laturc Of South Carolina established Pubic
Bank, and issued orty-eight thousand pound, u
bills of trust These bills were called Bond blis'
and the establishment was called Public BANK
These were lent out at interest, or loaned on per-
sonal security

II we were 10 follow the example of the CON-
pier Of these volumes we should take this oPpoE-
tunity to decry his edition Of M Clay's Speech
IS, as he has done the far less costly and less
Wanted editor now issued from this establish
lnent 1twould be easy to cavil and pick flaws, II
such were our taste-to complain that the idea OF
Introductory notes to each Speech is clearly CO.
pied from SWANS edition, and that the careful
restoration Of the first person by Mr. Swan N
thenany Speeches reported duly IN the third per
son. and 50 retained by all previous compIers, Is
also copied without acknowledgement by s.r,
Mallory, &c. sc. But let al this pass, since it
detracts nothing fror, The value OF the work.
Suffice i .ilat Mr.. Mallory has compiled a very
full and we trust accurate edition Of Mr.. Clays
Speeches, which are here richly cmbellished and
admirably printed The work Is a credit to
American Typography, an acquisition to our Ma
tional Literature, and We trust viii have wide
diffusion There is no library that will not be the
richer for copy of 1t.
The Engravings, four in number, are Por-
trait OF Mr.. Clay; View of his Birthplace in
the Slashes of Hanover, Va; View of Ash
land. his present residence and View of the
Monument erected To Mr.. Clay or the National
Road. They are good but the likeness of Mr..
Clay is failure. as al! engraved Licensees of him
measurably are.
Tie Biography of Mr.. Clay we think less hap
Ply than that of the cheap edition, but no biogra-
ply of him can be uninteresting while it is true.
We copy from Mallory's an anecdote which re-
flutes one of the most current of the wholesale
calumnies against the great Statesman, VIZ
In the spring OF 1919, we had the pleasure Of
being fellow passenger with Mr.. Gay. from

quaintance had been established among the CABIN

Ii was proposed TO have game OF cards, III which
one Of the number was requerted to invite Mr..
Clay to Join. When the invitation was given he
inquired what game was proposed. The reply
was, 6rag.' The sudden compression OF the
lips, and the change from easy poltcness to the
dignifed department OF one entitled t. give adj
vice, evinced, at once, determination not to en-
gage in the game. Excuse me, gentlemen
sad he i have not played game Of any kind
of hazard for more than twelve years, and take
this occasion TO warn you all to avoid a practice
destructive of good name, and drawing after 1t
evil consequences of ncalculablc magnitude. In
earlier days it was my misfortune, owing to
lively and ardent temperament, to fall into ttlS
vice, and TO a considerable extent and no one can
lament more sincerely the evil and the conse-
qucnces of it, than ! do These have followed
me into nearly all the walks of life, and though |
have long since abandoned the pernicious prac-
tice which led to them, it seems that they will

More of Snivciy and synrfieid's Bands.
We have given condensed account from the
St Louis New Era, derived from official sources,
of the dispersion, dlsbanding and partial disarm-
ing of the Texan bands that interlercd with the
Santa re trade, by Capt. Cooke, OF the U. S.
Army. We have since seen, IN the same paper,
a letter from Samuel Huffiner, one OF the Texans
under Snivelv. dated son board the steamer To-
bacco Plant. July Is" His narrative corresponds
in all its man features with that of Capt. Cooke,
but as 1t adds few facts not before published. we
make several extracts from his communication.
Huftncr says;
''On the 18th of June we came in contact with
the advance of Gov. Armijos army, about 100
Mexicans,) under Chavelers. About 100 Tex
ans engaged IN the attack upon them. After
firing three rounds we broke their ranks, killed
%, wounded %, and took all the rest prisoners
without having Texan hurt"
The Texans numbered about 100 men. He
adds
We sent the prisoners homeward, and eighty.
four men OF our party started on the 29tlI OF June
from our camp on Owl creek, a branch of the
Semlrone to return 10 Texas. The remainder
being lU6 men, marched over to the south bank
of the Arkansas River, about twenty miles below
the Santa Fe crossing, and, as we supposed, upon
Texan soil
" Next day, however, Capt. Cooke took us by
surprise, rs we had no spies out, and onchaf of
our men were out buffalo hunting. That officer
contended that we were east of the Tooth degree
of longitude, and demanded our arms. giving us
full liberty otherwise: which terms we accepted

selves and our Government. Coils. Snivelv and

SHEEP CONC WEsr.--We learn that several
entcrprsing Yankees are buying large tlocks of
Sheep in this State and driving them to the Prai-
rieS OF the West, where they live at free cost
during the greater part of the year, and for the
residue are kept on hay which costs only dollar
ton--the price OF making it. In this way Wool
can be produced far below its cost al the East,
while its transportation to the scaboard costs less
than FIVE per cent of It's value and that OF Grain
costs fifty per cent, Al that is now wanting Is
that Manufactures shall be established in the
West wherever there Is water-powcr, TO work up

mer place about $4,000 pounds, purchased at the
average price of 80 cents per pound; and that
d. t. Carpenter, Esq, of that town, who raises
very fine quality of wool, has sold this years
clip for IS cents per pound. The Watchnian
states that $4,000 has been paid out for wool in
Montpelier. What amount has been paid out in
Windsor County, we have not seen stated. The
estimated sales in this village amount to S25,-

The past two weeks have been stirring times

far as we can learn, the yield of wheat is not only
abundant, but of superior quality 1t is esi-
mated that the wheat crop OF this State this year
will be double, ii not treble, the product of any
former year, While the wheat crop of many
other States has been Injured by various causes,
so that considerable dlninution will be visible !;
compared with former years, it is especially graft
tylng 10 Us to know that we live on a soil which
produces an abundance OF every thing, and that,
too, without bestowing on it any extraordinary
labor. No people on earth have greater cause to
be thankful for the blessings of Heaven, than the
people of Michigan"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE
1OCOS

The Locofoco members Of the New York Legs-
L,,ure held caucus upon their adjournment and
passed resolutions recommending that the National
Convention assemble at Baltimore on the fourth
Monday in November next, to nominate their can.
didstes for President and Vice President. This is
following the tack Of the Virginia Locos, who first
named the day above stated. They likewise de-
c ed that although TIL would support the nominee
Of the Convention it was their conviction that Mr..
Van Buren, was the choice of the demo eracy OF
New York. They also avowed opposition to a
Bank, the Distribution Law, &c.
The Calhoun and the Tyler papers do not relish
the early day, and are all for postponing the as
sembing of the Convention until MAY, 1914 which
they think, the Calhoun papers especially, is the
legitimate period. and they talk about the dctation
of New Yo.k and Virginia, and the democracy
being cheated out of their rights, by the Albany
manager, and wire-pullers. The Washington

We lately heard oil venerable Wig who de-
clared he made il rule through lie TO vote ns
soon IN the morning as the polls were opened lest
he should die before night. Now such an example
should warm every true-heared Wing into ener-
getic action, and that such spirit is this
day alive and abroad among the Wings Of Berke-
ley. The game Is in their own hands. Il is for
them to surrender their cause and their principles
and throw Old Berkeley, that never fatered yet,
into the Of Locofocosm, or to stand TO their
arms, present their indomitable phalsnx at the
polls. and triumph they always have done, and
sl~sys will do, ~hen they choose.
II is no time to falter. I; ia no time to indulge
personal predictions or prejudices Your cause,
your country, and your principles, are at stake.
You can save them, or you can sacrifice them.
Wings of Old Berkeley! we deem il our duty to
war; you Of the magnitude Of the interests involved
IN the election Of this day. and while we appeal to
you 10 staod finn and steady do not believe that
We doubt you. Your adverssries count largely
upon distraction, dissension and apathy in your
rnnks but our faith is mistaken that they agan
doomed to disappointment and defeat.
