WILD CAT CURRKNcr.-The New York Courier
and Enquirer, in some remarks on this subject,
says:
"The practice now Is to establish ~ banking
institution in place 30 remote-say in Indiana or
lllinois-that it will not pay to follow it up for
SPECIE and then deal out the notes at half per cent
discount to employers on Saturday, and buy them
back from tradesmen on Monday at one per cent
Indeed, the poor mechanic or laborer is often com
PEELED to sell his money at shave on the very day
that he receives it; as very many establishments
ton. Every man who receives of these bank
bills helps to sustain system which it is the inter
est of all to break up"

A spirited lady writer for northern literary
journal, whose writing name is Fanny Fern
publishes the following tart letter in reply to q
shocking aspersion by some graceless wight on the
other side Of the water-secmngly the great Chris
TOPPER himself:
FAsNr's LETrER.-"Don't marry woman I'M
der twenty. She hasn't come to her wickedness
before then."-Blacktc0od's Magazine.
Well! If knew any bad words, Pm awful afraid
I should say 'em. just wish had hold Of the
perpetrator OF that with pair Of tongs. I'D bottle
him up in spirits and keep him for terror to liars.
as sure as his name is Kit North!
Set q thief to catch thief. How came you to
know when that crisis in woman's life occurs?
Answer me that! I'll tell you what my opinion is,
and won't charge you any fee either. A woman
comes to her wickedness when she. comes to her
husband; and. If she knew any thing good before,
it all goes by the board then-it's no more use to
her afterwards than the fifth wheel OF a coach,
Don't you know, you wicked calumniator, that
thunder don't sour milk more efectually than mat
rimony does woman's temper!
Como to their wickedness indeed Snow flakes
and SCOT! They'd not know the meaning Of the
word "wicked,"if your sex were botted out Of
existence. We should have perfect little heaven
upon earth-a regular terrestrial paradise; no rum
away matches; cases of--c-conscience no
dvorces; no deviltry Of any kind. Women
would keep young till the millennium; in fact mil
lennium would be merely a nominal jubilee, be.
cause il would have already come. The world
would be one universal garden Of pretty, rosy,
laughing women; no masculine mildew to mar
their beauty or bow their sweet heads, the blessed
year round. ... ~
Now, you'd better repen, of your sins, Mr..
Whafs-your- name; for, as sure as preaching, you
will 60 where you will have nothing to do but
think of 'em; and you won't find any women there,
either, for they all go TO the other place.

COLONIZATION NOTICE.

THE VESSEL heretofore advertised to sail
| from Norfolk, Virginia, the lst November
will be postponed TO the 18th November. This de-
lay is rendered necessary in consequence OF the
vessel, the Ralph Cross, not yet having returned
from Liberia; and also by the fact that 80 many
persons have applied for a passage in her that VIC
shall be obliged to send t,eo vessels to accommo-
date them. We have received already the names
OF 4s3 applicants for passage in said vessel, while
she cannot comfortably carry more than l25. Many
OF these persons live in North and South Carolina
We have therefore determined to send vessel
from Wilmington, North Carolina; to sail the 10Th
November. This will be the first expedition ever
fitted out from that port. "
The present exhausted state Of our funds will
not allow us send out all OF the above applicants
We have promised passage TO $50, and the mo"
ney to pay their expenses has yet all to be collect
ed. We therefore appeal TO our friends to come to
our help, and that right speedily.
We expect to send vessel from New Orleans the
Goth December, and one from savannah as soon
thereafter circumstances will justify.

MANUFACTURING ENrERPRIsE.-The following
eloquent extract is from a speech made at the re-
cent agricultural fair in Northampton, Massachu
sets, by the Hon. Edward Everett:
"Sir Walter Scott, in one of his poems, makes
the old Monk of Melrose say to William Of Delo-
raine, who had come to get the magic book from
the tomb of the wizard
"Warrior, / could say to thee
The words that cleft Eldon hills in three,
And bridled the Tweed with curb OF stone.
"What the words were that cleft Mount Holyoke
and Mount Tom in twain, is known only to Him
by whom sthe everlasting mountains were scat
tered But can tell you, sir, the words that have
bridled the noble river that flows between them
with curb of stone, and have taught it, instead
Of wasting itself on the points of jagged barren
rocks and brawling lodges, to pour through copi-
GUS fioodgates over the untiring wheels Of produc.
tive industry. These mighty words are: Enter
prise, Capital, and Mechanical Skill: Enterprise
to conceive the plan, Capital to furnish the
and Engineering skill to accomplish the work.
1t is these, and not the tabled powers of NEGRO.
NANCY, that have planted themselves below the
falls at Hadley, have taught the mighty river to
flow backwards from before their gigantic ma
sonry, and thus laid the foundations Of a city
which will yet with its suburbs spread for miles
along the bank, and be felt in the enhanced value
of every farm in the county"
