TRIBUTE TO WoMAN.-Hon. Frank Soue,
Senator in California, while speaking upon u
bill authorizing women to act rs sale traders,
paid the following tribute to the tender sex:
al love woman; have loved her all my
/ life through boy-hood, youth, manhood and
naturer years. expect 70 love her all my
life, and dying be found faithful to the same
! high and inspiring sentiment; for amid all the
varied scenes, temptations, struggles, and
hopes of existence, one star, brighter than all
others, has lighted and guided me onward.
/ If | had any high and noble ambition, tho
exciting energy has been in the approving
smile comm" from the eye Of woman. And
Judge her influence is upon others. Gentle
in her affection, yet mighty through her int'u-
cncr, her me;'ium Of rule is as powerful as
the ballot box. She has ruled me from my
boyhood with the soft and winning influence
Of her virtues and her beauty. | remember
my first love: my baby affections ut four years
of are. have been in love nearly every
month Of my life since, save the dark and
rayess days and years which succeeded the
! dcsoIate hearth, and made the heart too deso-
late. And never, sir, while remember my
mother, long since in her gravc-l remember
the night she died - never. while hold in my
memory one other-and her memory is all
that is left to mc-shai refuse to give my
voice, my influence and my vote, for any
measure to protect and cherish the weaker
and better part Of creation, against the op-
preston, neglect and abuse Of my SEX"
SAVANNAH BAsks-. We will once more
caution our friends of the interior not to bo.
licve the reports which are almost daily put
in circuuior adverse to the Savannah Banks.
These reports are raised solely for specua-
tive or malicious purposes. Four years ago,
Il party passed through South Western Geor-
r, 'fhey separated at or near Macon.
| One portion went ahead and reported tho
failure of the Marine Bank and thus created
a panic. In few days; their accompces
followed purchasing up the bills ut IL heavy
discount: in some instances passing for them
counterfeit South Coro,ina money. In this
way it is supposed they must have made somo
five or six Thousand dollars in few days.
The sam, came has been attempted upon
nearly every Bank in tins city. Nocss than
two efforts were made during the last two
months. The last originated at Atlanta, and
the assault WAS made upon one OF the best
institutions in our city, We were sorry to
learn. during onr recent visit to Macon, that
some ofthc bill holders had been silly enough
! TO part with them at - cents in the dollar.
| Now we assure our friends that the Sayan-
nah Banks never were stronger OF moro

mrnt. Ii any thing We think they are too
prudcnt-too much disposed to make money
! at the expense OF local interest The com
mratvc statement, which we published
| few DAYS since showed that they have near
! " twice as much spccic-iunds. in proportion
! to their capital. as the Banks of South Caro-
, lima. What folly then, IN bill holders, to
! listen to the Idle. fllSehoods of the swind-
| ling scounlrcls who are travcrsng the coun.
try, seeking to rob the honest planters Of
their hard earnings! SGr. COW.
