We with pleasure give place to the following
clipped from the Savannah Georgian, sent us by
the President of said Bank, who states that the
circulation is confined to the immediate vicinity
of the location Of the Bank. Tho list of Brok-
en- and Discredited Banks has been corrected by
striking off the same.
MANUFACTURERS BANK OF MAcoN.-By refer
cnce to advertisement in to-day's paper it will
be seen that this Banking Institution is about to
increase its capital stock to 100000 as allowed
by its charter. The opportunity is therefore a
good one for our citizens, who are interested in
the business prosperity Of the place, and in the
sound legitimate operations Of local Bank Of
Discount and Deposit, to benefit themselves and
the community, by taking up this new Stock. Its
directors are men of means, and have heretofore
managed the Institution with prudence and sound
financial discretion, and we understand the object
of an increase of Stock is to increase their facil
tiles of accommodation to the whole class of bu-
siness men, and will not be especially confined to
advances on Cotton Bills. We need not say that
such Bank is needed hcre.-Ga. Citizen. =

And for that, in low simplicity Of heart
He lends out money gratis and brings down
Merchant of Venice.
The old jews amability would not have been
ruffled by many such exhibitions of financial i'm
becility in the Antonios of the present day, much
less at this particular ime and at this place above
all places in the world. Perhaps his objection to
on sectarian grounds, would berobbed of its Pc
cuiar piquancy, since we have left of pulling out
his orthodox teeth in the fashion of our forefath-
ers-while usury has been found quite as easily
reconcilable with Christian Canons, as Cali.
leo's Astronomical systematic Thousand
Kings of Egypt" or the mute revelations of the
Primitive Strata.
People aren't such fools nowadays. The
laws of Supply and Demand, override allthe
dogmas Of old fogyism-Protection Tariff and
Usury Laws included; and it is just now written
that England, always the first in Commercial re-
formulas torn OF the last of the shackles which
fettered the spirit of Commerce, in the repeal of
her Usury Laws.
But what's the good of usury at the East
what do they know about rates of interest at New
York, London or Paris. We solemnly assert, that
the oriental mind is cnveloped in profound dark
ness on the subject. One cannot help smiling at
the Lillipuion scale of profits to which the Dourse
or Strand restricts itself-at English per cent.
consols--Austrian loans at per cent.-at Wall
street in Commercial crises, aghast at fractions
of per cent, and men in embarrassed circum-
stances, plunging into insolvency at the fearful
rate of IL per cent. for short loans. While we
meanwhile are revealing in the usurious splendora
Of 40, so and 60 per cent,-and sOhat Is bette,
can afford to payh. s.-, ~ 81
In fact the question in the street is not, what
shall we give for money? but where in thunder
shall we get it at any price: All the momentous
questions connected with the assault and battery
cases of Billy Patterson AMI Cock Robin, or the
explosive qualities of saltpetre, are merged in the
exciting interest of the inquiry-who has money
to loan? Any securities are given that may be
demanded, and any rate of interest is agreeable
the money lender may put in the bond. The land
Offices have absorbed all our gold, and our cur
rcncy has gone to pay our eastern debts. The
obvious corollary is that money Is fight. There
is in fact almost no money in the market. It is
drained as dry as some. of our interior streams.
and the unlucky fish who are squirming on its
sandy bottom must wait patiently for the great
freshet of spring emigration, now already rushing
in torrents down the western slope Of the Alegha-
nies-for the time COW ripening in the bland air,
when the golden Pactolus of Eastern Capital
shall unloose its tributary floods, and set aaoat
again the too deeply laden craft that now lie
stranded on its shore.

CO Bennett, of the n. Y. Herald, has threat
ened to sue the N Y. Tribune, laying the damages
at $50, 900, for libel. lie bases the suit on the
statement in the Tribune, that Bennett extorted
$4,000 from person who was in the house where
Helen Jcwctt was murdered. The Express is al
so threatened with a suit, what for, has not yet
been developed. In these suits the Scotchman
says he intends to establish a character sswith-
out the slightest reproach." That's laughablc.--
We think if Bennett succeeds there will be
chance for our amiable friend of the Minnesotan.

CO In the 18th number Of this sheet we sta
ted under the head of ssitems from Thompson's
Reporter" that the Banking House Of Darby 4
Barksdale, st. Louis, had failed. The informa-
ton was obtained from some other souree, not
now recollected, and therefore should not have
appeared under the heading it did.
We are happy to say that said House has not
failed nor been discredited. The editor was ab-
sent from the Territory at the time.

II was announced some days since, that Profess
sor James Mcfarland would astonish the denisens
of the Bowery by walking on tight rope from
the top of the Branch Hotel to the German thea
tire on the opposite side of the street. The per-
formance was to be in honor Of Washington's
natal day, and moreover it was to be free gratis
for nothing. Long before the time announced (6
p. m. vast crowd had assembled in the Bow
cry to witness this perlous feat and the street,
far rs the eye could reach, was densely packed
with rather arough-looking concourse Of Bowery
and butcher boys, rowdies and rough Of oil des-
cripti0ns, together with down town factory girls,
and here and there a stray representative OF the
Goldfish, who had wandered thither out of curios-
ity, to witness the startling performance of Me-
Farland. The roofs and windows of the adjoin-
ing houses were filed to their utmost capacity
with all manner of people anxiousto get glimpse
of the exhibition. i...o-rss ga ~.
At quarter past o'clock Mcfarland made his
appearance at the garnet window of the Branch
Hotel, and was received with great cheering.
At a given signal he commenced his perilous
performance, and walked slowly forward, bearing
in his hands a balancing pole Is feet in LENGTH
The crowd, which but moment before was quite
uproarious, suddenly became hushed and still, and
all gazed with breathless attention on the daring
gymnast, as he cautiously advanced step by step.
The interest of the vast assembly at this time was
intense, and many of the women averted their
faces, fearful that any moment he might be dashed
headlong to the pavement below. When he ar
rived at the street, he stopped, as if irresolute,
and stood balancing himself for a few moments.
At this a murmur passed through the crowd, sHe is
falling She is falling accompanied with consid
cradle excitement; but suddenly changing his po-
sition, he slid down and sat upon the rope, where
upon the crowd sent up wild 'hurah,' in COM
pliment to his adroitness. After gyrating and
circumgyrating for some time, he regained his
foothold, and succeeded in gaining the other side
of the street without further difficulty, on reaching
which he was greeted with loud and long contir-
ued cheering from thevast assemblage in the street
below. After waiting for some time in vain, to
see if the performance would be repeated, the
crowd slowly dispersed.-N Y. Herald.

EMIGRATION IN THE SPRINc.-We have already
stated that from what we can learn large num-
Der of persons from the States will emigrate to
Minnesota in the Spring. In addition to many
other letters on the subject, We have received one
from our fellow citizen, JonN McCLorD, Jr., who
is now in Philadelphia, and who writes as fol-
lows :-"I have an abiding faith in st. Paul
which cannot be shaken, travel where may. l
think there will be great rush of emigration
to our territory this season. l have become &C.
quainted with great many who are going out.
know of two or three organized Companies for
Minnesota. They will probably number from tsco
to three hundred persons.-They intend to farm
it, and most of them have MEANS"
Should the season be a healthy one, and navi.
cation good, the emigration during the present
season to Minnesota, we think will exceed that of
any previous year BY . large majority. Let them
come. -slsesIs ~ -
