CHOLERA AMONG THE BANKs.-Several OF the
country banks, it seems are in state OF dissolu-
ton. We are afraid that their disease is some
thing like the cholera among loafers. Unless
people take care what bills they take, they may
be bitten most terribly by those loafcr instl-
tutions, called banks scattered all over the coun-
try. The bank cholera has broken out in Penn.

Mr.. SELDEN AND NEWSPAPER REPORTING
In the report of Mr.. Selden's powerful and elo-
quent speech, on his side of the question, which
will be found in the daily journals of yesterday,
very little discrepancy will be found among them,
except in that version given by the NeW York
Express. The Express makes Mr.. Selden say
that the Mexican war is war sin ,Dhch our re-
sources are exhausted, and the american charac-
ter debased." This is certainly very strong ex-
pression used towards the brilliant events of that
war, and we doubt much if it can be correctly
reported. On turning over the reports of all the
other daily papers, we find that it is altogether
interpreted in the Express, to an extent which
ought not to be passed over. Mr.. Sclden is a
man who is we'll known in the political annals
of New York, as distinguished politician, in
both parties, for several years past. Whatever
may be his views of the Mexican war, we are
sure his feelings as an American are such that he
never would have used such an expression as he
is reported by the Express" to have uttered.
We are convinced of this, from the fact that all
the other journals have reported him differently.
This report, therefore, is incorrect, false and
scandalous, and Is an additional evidence that
we can expect nothing better from that COM
pound of lmbecity and incapacity which passes
itself OIL under the name of daily journal.

REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL TO NEW YORK.
The Executive of the United States, and the
Congress, ought to be removed as soon as posi-
BILE to the city of New York, or its neighborhood
If the President and both houses of Congress
had residences arranged for them in Hoboken, or
somewhere in that neighborhood, it would be an
advantage, in every aspect OF the case, to their
action, the nation, to the responsibility of the
government, and to everything connected with
public affairs. In the first place. look at the mi
serabe accommodations which members of Con-
gress have in Washington-look at the bad treat
ment which they receive from the miserable
newspapers there-newspapers incapable of re-
porting them correctly or doing them justice,
such as the independent press of New York
could do. In fact, the ineffciency of the Wash
ington journals has been so striking that the
Senate has had to elect reporters of its own, in
order to obtain correctness in the promulp on
of it's sentiments. Perhaps great objection
might be made to the removal of the govern
ment from, Washington to New York, by many
other cities but we conceive that in the pre-
sent state of science, the establishment of rail-
roads, and particularly that wonderful invention
the electric telegraph, New York will be more
in the Gentle of the country, next year, than
Washington has ever been. In less than year,
we shall communicate with the remotest points
of the repubic-with New Orleans on one side
Chicago on the other, and Boston at the North
New York will then be Just such place as the
government of this great country ought to be
in-the great central city of the country
and the great centre of its decency, its dirt, and
lis fash ons

New YORK AND BosroN TELEGRApH.-Wc I'M
derstand that Mr.. S. p. Carter, one of the gen.
tlcmanly operators on the New York, Albany,
and Buffalo telegraph line, left that line on
Monday last, to take charge of the express office
of Wells L Co., in Albany, and that he will be
succeeded by Mr. VIM. II. Makepeacer of Utica,
u young man of high recommendations and
talent. While we regret Mr.. Carriers leave, we
are confident the business of operating will be
well continued by Mr. Makepeacer. The agency
of Messrs. Wells & Co. in Albany, could not
have fallen into ADLER hands than those of Mr..
Carter.

| STATISTICS OF EAIIGRATIoN.-At the COM
mencement of the present year, we predicted that
in consequence of the failure of the crops in Ire
land, portion of England, and in other parts of
| Europe, the United States would derive vast
accession to its population by emigration. We
| estimated the increase at two hundred and fifty
thousand, and the result is, that our calculation
| will be very nearly correct. The re turns of the
cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and New Orleans, from the first of January
| TO the first of October, show an aggregate Of
two hundred and thirty-three thousand seven
| hundred and ninety-eight, while for the prece-
| ding year, the number was only one hundred and
| ffty-one thousand six hundred and sixty-two.-
If we add to the returns for this year those who
| arrived by way of Canada, and those who will
have arrived between the first of October and
the first OF January, the aggregate will exceed,
if anything, the great number of quarter of a
million OF people, who have been added to our
population by emigration alone, for the year lS47.
Thus, we see the United States adding to Its
physical wealth at this immense rate, in conse-
quencc of the misfortunes of the old world.
There is every probability of the emigration
next year being still greater, arising from the
same causes
