OF which the undersigned not only had
no knowled se, but could not know, until
the distracted bank notes came back on
them for redemp,lon'
There seems 10 be o doubt that the To-
cal president and directors OF the Havre
de Grace Bank are men of probity and
truth, ami knew nothing abou, this trans
action OF the cashier, but the question in
the minds Of the people Is whether they
ought not to hare known-whether it
was not their duty to have strictly inves-
tigated the conduct of the cashier? = es-
pecialIy when they could have known
that the institution was viewed with dis
trust by nine-tenths OF every community,
in which its notes circulated,-not even
excepting th"t of Havre de Grace. II
was also known to have beea mainly es-
tablished BY northern money spectators
whilst II was generally admitted that
there was little or no local use for it; hence
the necessity Of those who accepted the
appointments OF presidents or directors 10
act with every caution, particularly as
the cashier was supposed to be in the in
terest Of the northern stockholders. They
should also have borne in mind that it was
the private characters of its local officers
alone which gave its notes a circulation
among their fellow ciiizens
The local president, and portion OF
the directors, notwithstanding their state
ment, wer', on Mondry, cited 10 appear

HAyKE DE GRACE BANK.-Ne have re-
ceived variety OF facts relative to the
Havre dc Grace Bank most of them from
orr attentive CORES pordent at Hayre de
Grace, and regret to say that we can see
nothing yet TO cheer the mole holder in
the prospect ofobtain,ng more than a
moie,y Of the PurPor..d value OF their
"promIses to pay" Thomas G. Hopkins,
President OF this remnant OF a bank, and
james 7. Sullivan, J Hakr, and Charles
!. A. Cole, the Havre de- Grace Dmcc
Tors, have pubIishrda card, in winch they
state tha. they are Investigating ITS affairs,
but stop short to make the following brief
but significant statement:
"They have ascertained, greatly to
their regret and surprise, tina, the Cash
Ter of the Bank, without the know ledge
or consent Of the President or any of The
Directors, has given TO two persons, one
in N. York and one IN Ohio, the sum of
foriy-fve thousand dollars since the 9th
of May last, twenty five thousand Of which
sum was given by the Cashier TO these
persaas within less than the las, two
months before the stoppage Of the Bank:
This large sum was gwen 10 the persons
referred 10, in the notes OF the Bank. and
these noter coming in produced The fail
ure."
The persons here alluded 10 as having
received the notes from the cashier We're,
as stated by our correspondent yesterday,
Charles Hood, attorney, Of New York
and John Jenkinr, Of Ohio, the former
receiving s25,OOO and the latter $50
900. With regard to these secretly cir
sulated notes, the president and directors
remark:
"I'he undersigned have taken as ener-
getic measures as they can TO recover
the money thus improperly distracted
from the Bank, II they should b- sue.
cpssul in the recovery, then all the liza
biI,ties Of the Bank they think will be
met. The books Of the institution will
as soon as practicable be thoroughly ex-
amined, and minute account OF her con-
dtion submitted 10 the creditors and
stockholders"
From this il would seem that they
place their whole dependence on the re-
eovery Of the money for these notes, thus
circulated, which appear TO have been re-
ceived by the parties nam"d without any
acknowledgement except as agreement To
returs vhai Asy failed to eirmlate. The
statement oftbe directors concludes IS fol

Schuylkil Canal is a complete wreck, and
no business can be done on it at this sea

away on the Reading Railroad, but it ia
stated that the company will be able to

Pohiienl .1Ior.n,eM in Ohio.
The Democratic Convention for Ham
ilion county met in this city yesterday.
There was much opposition between the
Two factions Of the party, but the rtgu-
lars finally succ eded IN carrying every
thlrg. The Hon. David r. Disney was
nominated, by exclamation to represent
the LIST District in 32d Congress. Cam
diddtes Tor the State Legislator and conn
,y officers were also nominated. II is
thought that the outside democrats will
frame an opposition ticket for county Of
fcers, and probably for Congress and the
Legislature.

Mr.. Lowe not only charged that Mr.

charged that II he was elected he would
BE- ruled by it. This, we understand hs
has also denied.

Lowe says he will take ono other notice

The SusoUEHANNA RAILROAD FREsHET.
We learn from Mr.. Magraw, the Presi
dent of this road, who yesterday returned
from general survey Of it, that it is now
in good travelling order through TO York,
and from thence 10 Wrigh'sville. The
cars to-day will 60 all the way through.
Mr.. Wiley, The efficient superintendent,
has repaired and reconstructed the only
bridges that wore damased-one above
ParEton, and ths other between York and
Wrightsville.
The York and Cumberland Railroad
bridge at York, which is rapidly finishing,
was, we learn, in great danger, but the
contractor turned his whole available
force to save the structure, and happily
succeeded.
AT York, yesterday afternoon, the wa
Ter was still pouring over the banks OF the
Cedorus into :hs meadows, and great dam
sge had ensued, the rise being two feet
birbr than has been known since 1926.
We learn from the York Press that Mr..
Kone's railroad bridge across the Codorus
was swept away with four cars loaded
with stone, which wore put upon il IN or
der TO render the bridge more permanent
The railroad bridge Of Mr.. Diehl, about
one mile above town, (which is used 10
convey stone across the Codorus,) was al
no swept away. Both these bridges were
taken away at the late ireshst, some five
or six weeks ago, and the latter had just
been replaced al considerable expense.
The rise in the Susqnehanna was not 80
great az at the late ireshet, and but little
damage was done as far IS We have been
able 10 learn. The rise in the Gunpowder
had nearly subsidized yesterday.

fetal vote in this county at the election
on Wednesday. II shows, as the votes o
Cecil usually show, that the wing tickle
is defeated. 1t shows, also, that the full
vote Of tho county was not out by 800
And in this Staging al home OF the votes
mole than in anything else, is found the
reason OF that defeat.
It is true there were some other causes
10 work against us 10 so ne extent, but oul
candidates, or some Of them, at least
would have overcome everything else, il
there had been full turn out Of the wing
strength. For we repeat now, what we
have before SAID, that there never was a
more generally acceptable ticket presented
to the wings OF the county, than our tick
ct for the Reform Convention.
Viewing the whole matter, we con-
graduate the wings Of the county upon
the result, for with the disadvantages OF
the cry Of being aHti-reformers-of the
unprecedented small vote-of the money
used by the other party, while the wings
had none against US, we made vote
large enough TO show that Cecil has plrn-
ty OF live Wings yet, as the election in
October will prove.
Mr.. Creswell, It will be observed, leads
our ticket. II isl matter Of regret that
he was not elected, for in splendid tai
ents, sound judgment, hrgh-souled lntes-
rity and all the qualities that constitute a
man and gentleman, he stands in the
first rank. And the vote he received is a
fine compliment to him. Just merging
into manhood, unknown IN the county ex-
cept at his home in Pot Deposit, and
here, where he has spent year and ten
months, he 10 nominated Tor most i'm
portant station and the little intercourse
with the people Of the county, single
month allowed him to have, enabled him
10 lead the whis ticket. HIS friends and
himself have reason to be proud Of the re-
suit, and when he is next candidate in
this county, he will no. only lead the
whig ticket, but all other tickets. We
have made this reference TO Mr.. Creswell,
the more particularly, because, we under
stand that dead SET was made at him by
the locoiocos in many parts Of the county,
for the purpose OF making his defeat sure.
The fifth District is the only one we
can award any praise, particularly OF
the rest some did better than others. The
3rd did very badly. There Is about 60
majority against us here, but the returns
show worse than that.

THE WEATHER AND THE CRops. There
has been during the last TWO months, an
unusual quantity Of rain in this region for
the season, causing an unusual number OF
freshets IN our streams, which have in

the fencing on our meadow lands. These
rains however, have been Of great advan.
