The New YORK Express, of The even

1t appears that the banks have about
ten and the Sub Treasury two millions of
dollars. This is larger sum than has
ever before been known in this city.
There never has been period when the
banks were SO strong in specie as they are
at present. Money continues to be as
abundant as ever. Loans are easily ne
gotiated at to 5 pei cent. on best stocks.

Opinions Of the Orientals as to Vine
When Noah planted the first vine, and re.
tired, Satan approached and said, 81 will
nourish your charming plant!'.
'He quickly brought three animals, a
lamb, lion and hog, and killed one Of
them after the other near the vine.
"The virtue ofthe blood of,hese animals
penetrated it,and is still manifested in its
growth.
"When man drinks one goblet Of wine
ne is then agreeable, gentle and friendly
that's the nature Of lamb.
"When he drinks two he is lion, and
says, who is like me?' he then talks of
stupendous things.
"When he drinks more, his senses for
sake him, and at length he walows in the
mire.
''Need it be said that he then resembles
hog?"

THE wILMoT PRoYISo.

The battle has got TO be fought over again and
again, and we see no probability of Free State
victory until we have Free State President
pledged to go against the further extension of
slavery. We doubt whether the Proyjso will
succeed any better In the next Congress than it
has in this. There will be large increase of
Northern Wing Members to be sure and these

1t certain that 10 man who goes against the prin-

be kept straight, but such demonstration is not
at hand. Who believes that these fellows who
have at their masters bidding surrendered UP the
rights OF the North, will be abandoned by their
own party? They may be, and very likely MANY
OF them will be run down by Wings; but in
districts where the party is strong, they will
again be elected TO vote precisely the same way
again. We are not sure but General Cass was

The Crackers, as they are called, are the poor

ignorance. They scorn to tell a lie or steal. but
are vindictive and revengetul when insuted or

instance occurred in Monroe county few davs
before passed through there. A Cracker was in

opportunity to take his revenge by shooting him
dead. The planter had several hundred dollars

Croker fled; and as the laws are so loosely I'd
ministered in Georgia, he will probably escape
justice.

The THREE MILLIoNs.--The Journal Of
Commerce announces-we know not on what au-

much has been said and written is to be used in
the purchase OF California or portion of it. 1t
IS contended that we ought to have port or ports
on the Pacific where our Whaling vessels may
resort in safety, also that our land trade across the
continent requires that we should have foothoId
there. But says the Journal, 'as it is against our
settled and well known policy to acquire and re-
tain territory byforce arms, it must be obtained
peaceaby and with the consent of Mexico.
We must have deed of it in fee simple and then

territory we want, and that by this means he can
