Money.

1t has been long time since we had
talk with our patrons about their dues. We
know that it is not necessary to write press-
ing duns, to induce them to "pony up the
dust" We need only suggest TO them that
year has just ended-yes, the annual re-
turn Of that nnweleome period when every
one whom we owe expects us to pay, is now
upon us, and as we are dependent upon
your dues, trifling as they are to each one
OF you, to satisfy the demands of our cred
ltors, we would suggest this. the beginning
OF new year, as favorable time to pay
the printer.

w1LL1AM O. DAVIS. EDITOR
THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 8, 1855.
Salutatorv.

| Sa1utatory.
Owing to unforeseen contingencies, the
change of one Of the proprietors of the
Banner, which occurred prior to our las,
issue, was not noticed editorially. Although
we have been associated with the fortunes
OF the Banner little more than two years
past, we must, in justice, ascribe to our for.
mer and more gifted associate, J. II. LOGAN
whatever Of praise the editorial manage
ment of the paper has merited. Our time
has been divided between the business de-
partment of the paper and the profession to
which we belong, so that we are but a
child in the business; and it is with feel
ings of the deepest distrust of our own
ability, that we assume the responsibility of
sole Editor.
1t we were to consult our inclinations,
the great effort of our life would be to
consummate our aspirations in the profess
sion of law; but pecuniary restrictions, and
an implicit confidence in the remunerative
prospects of the Banner, upon its present
basis, force upon us the drudgery of an ed
itorial life.
In assuming the duties of our position,
we have no partizan feeling to gratifying
private spleen to vent-no vaulting ambi-
ton to satiate; but are Influenced rather by
the beautiful lesson taught in Holy Writ,
that "man shall earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow"
The politics of the Banner will be un-
changed. Although We belong to the
Democratic faith, and believe in the doc
trine of State rights, as cxpoundcd by the
great CALHOUN and JEFFERSON, yet we
hope never to be possessed of that partizan
zeal which leads its victim to an insane ad-
vocacy of party triumph, irrespective of
principle. We acknowledge fealty to no
party whose political creed initiates against
our domestic institutions, and varies from
the constitutional law of our country.
We shall advocate, on all proper occa-
sions, Southern union as the best possible
means by which to maintain the perpetuity
of the Federal Union.
We hope to be just, yet fearless and in
dependent, in our criticisms upon men and
measures. Perseverance shall be our watch
word, and the dictates of conscience cur
guide.
We might enumerate brilliant pro-
gramme of promises Of what we expect to
do; but those who promise most, generally
perform least. We shall, therefore, prom
Use nothing, hut leave our patrons to Judge
us by what we perform.
Mr.. HoLLrNGswoRrH, our associate, is
one of the most efficient practical printers
in the State. He has been our publisher
for the last twelve months, and will con .
tinue to preside over the mechanical de.
partment of the paper.
The present Proprietors of .iie Banner,
would return their unfeigned thanks to
their numerous friends and patrons, and
would sSsu'o them Tia. :!ey vii! labor .s
siduously to merit continuation of thei,

BURNING OF THE JOHN JAY.-By the burn
ing Of this steamer upon Lake George, it is
now reported that at least fifteen persons were
lost. On board the board was a company OF
ten persons from Roxbury, seven of whom
were females, two men, Messrs. Thwing and
Crufts, and one boy. The gentleman have
reached home, bringing the bodies of Mrs.
Thwing and her sister, Mrs. Belknap, who
were among the lost. Mr.. Crufts has furnish
ed to the Traveller, full account of the dis
aster, by which appears that the Captain had
fired up with light wood to gain Roadway and
make up for delays, when at six o'clock in
the evening, as most of the passengers were
enjoying beautiful prospect, the fire alarm
was given. The fire spread rapidly; but the
loss of life might have been less, if the boat
had been Immediately turned to the shore, or
If, when she reached the shore, the tlller con-
nections had been of iron instead of rope, that
she might have been kept there, instead Of
swung off again: The account says
In regard to Mrs. Thwing and Mrs. Belk.
nap, that Mr.. Thwing jumped overheard,
when Mrs. Thwing handed him their child, a
boy OF between SIX and seven years. Mrs.
Beknap, Mrs rhwings sister, with her two
children, a son and daughter, were near by,
when Mr. Thwing called to his wife to jump.
At this moment cloud of smoke enveloped
the boat, and Mr.. Thwing saw no more OF his
wife. 1t is thought that the females became
somewhat bewidered, and went to another
part OF The steamer before leaping overheard.
The two children oil Mrs. Belknap were
saved.
Mr.. Pritchard, who was from Boston, sup
ported his wife in the water for long time,
but was nearly exhausted when assistance
reached them. Miss Catherine Gore of Rox-
bury, swan ashore, and Miss Kent OF the
same place aoated until aid came.
Mr.. Crufts who was in the water nearly
hall an hour rendering assistance, says that
"seyeral ladies, were greatly indebted to their
hoops, which buoyed them above water, and
in some instances, no doubt were the mean:
of saving their lie. One lady, kept from
drowning in this way, was reached by Mr.
Cruits, who swan towards her with a plank
which he had obtained, just as she was abou
TO sink"

The REIGN OF DIsoRDER.-Th following
is from the Louisville journal of Tuesday =
owe learn from the Cincinnati Enquirer
that about three hundred citizens of that place,
instgeted by the failure of the jury 10 find a
verdict of murder in the case of Arrison, Cthe
internal machine man, held a secret meeting
last Wednesday evening, to organize a Vigil
lance Committee. There was great excite
ment in the meeting. The question was wheth-
er they should proceed at once TO take ven
geance in their own hands, or await further
events. The consideration suggested in favor
of waiting was, that Arrison, who now stands
arraigned for the murder of Mrs. Arrson, may
yet be convicted of murder and executed. =
The vote was taken by ballot, and the meet
ing decided, by 1863 to 1l2, to wait. 1t was
evidently the understanding that, if the next
jury should fail to convict of murder, the Wig
lance Committee would take the life of Arri-
son, and probably undertake to punish the
jury. We have no doubt that Arrlson ought
to be hung, but the adoption of such extra
ordinary means for securing real or supposed
justice is, at the best, of most questionable
propriety.'
