sage that the operations of The Bank has
been very successful during the financial
year ending the Both OF September last.
though that document barely stated the
amount OF the profits without comment.-
The Report Of the President and Directors
has since been received. and we should
lay II entire before our readers if we were
not so much pressed for room. The entire
ProiIts Tor the year amount to the sum Of
1854 ISL SO. But OF this sum, about 800
600 has been derived from arrears Of inter
est, aud would properly be added to tho
profits Of pas; years. The SUN uf $780,

and # tho bank be charged with the agere-
gate OF It's capital, the "S,nking FUND.- and
the Fire Loan it is more than 7 per cent
interest in all these funds, doubtful and
supposed bad debts about SlOU,MO more.
This IL certsInly a favorable exhibit, and
especially a subject OF congratusa,lon at a
time when the State has need OF an over
flowing treasury 10 NEE, exp 'nscs that it
concerns alike her honor and her safe
~ 10 incur.
There are Inconvenience, as ne are re-
minded ny the Report, in having an excel
lent credit. The position of The Bank has
been such for some time past, that it has
been an object with the Board TO invest
portions of its means in The outstanding
debt of the State, and from this time for
ward II would probably be in its power
rapidly TO c%xtinguish the whole Of that debt.
But the creditors will not be paid. The
Bank has parleyed and proposed, and ncgo.
tiated, but they are as obduralc as ShyIock
and insist upon having their bond instead
OF the money for which il was given. Now
and then some poor wretch gets caught in
the trap OF mischance, aud is brought 10
terms, but this is n rare event, and ~ gen.
eral the slightest hint OF a man being on
the lookout for South Carolina Bonds,
sends them all into holes and corner -
There seems no remedy for the cyll. L. ia
probable indeed that a default in the paw.

we congratulate our readers on the passage
"i Acts, by our Legislature, for the calling of n
convention, for the appointment of dclcpnt.s to
" southern Congress, and for procuring arms for
oeicicc, should we have occasion to use them.
we nave never witnessed such evidences of
th"r1iiication and discomfort, M when the news
rcaciscd us, of the loss, in the House of Rcproscn.
'alifcs, of Tho bill from the Senate, for III. call OF
n convention. We began Ia fear, that South
'nroiinn too, had '.lost The brrcct Of noble
pio"a. That the spirit which animated our
ancestors, i'll tho revolution, had fuucd on, in
lthof July orn,icns, in ottlc-inspircd br,vadocs
nnd lcctoring rcsolutions-and, that like br,p.
ghrls, when the occasion came for the exercise
OF Inc cnuH'gc ni:i patriotism we affected. we
were about to shrink from tho trinl and succu,pb
10 thc ryrhnny. fraud and oppression we had
been SO loudly dcnouncing. But, thanks to the
SOBER second Thought of our representatives

HER constituents, 10 whom they were uccoun,n.
'hc, llils disgrace is saved us, and we can again
MT up our heads, and say We were born TO b.

The unnnimity, with which these acts were f.
hal'y passed, isn ground orslcciaI graduation. |,
Is proof, that, although differing ms to details, our
Representatives, like their constituents mr..
unanimous in their determination To resist ON.
