correspondent Of the New Orleans Picayune at Tam

send you under separate the last number of the
official paper published in this city, by which you will per-
ceve that the commercial affairs in this State are far from

counted upon by Gen. Cara object which he can

some important seizures have actually been made the
goods condemned and sold at public auction to create

only sufferers because both parties of political dispuan
invariably count the costs TO be incurred during their
troversy from import and international duties regardless
at the same time as to the security given the importer
after they are in possession of his money.
We are now in dread of the return of Cara TO this

The Real Loss.

The public, says the Evansville Jour
nal, are estimating the immense appa-
rent loss which the country has sustain
ed in the fall of prices Of stocks, pro-
duce, merchandise, and all other spe-
cies of property, while the great real
loss which the country will sustain in
the arrest of its productive industry
the real creator of its wcalth-seems to
attract but little attention. If half a
million of active hands be deprived OF
employment as they are likely to be, by
the disaster of the times, it would be a
very low estimate to suppose their pro
ducts-if employed-would amount dai-
ly to one dollar each, which add an ag-
gregate of half a million of dollars per
diem to the actual wealth of the country
which is lost by the arrest of their la
bors. While the fall in prices is but an
apparent loss-for nothing is annihila-
ted by the depreciation of market val
ues-the stoppage of labor and machin-
cry stops the product of real values,
which would add their AMOUNT to the
wealth of the country. The suspension,
of the labor and machinery caused by
the present CONFUSION, may, at a mode
rate calculation, deprive the country of
products to the o of one million
per diem and if it should continue for
a year, the actual deprivation to the ma
ton would be nearly as great as the sum
total of our circulating medium. The
earnings of the hands that will be idle
by the misfortunes of the present year,
would nave been equivalent to the whole
amount of coin now in the country.

THE WANTS OF CALIFORNIA.

The great wants of California is labor
outside of the regular professions. 1t
is overrun with lawyers, merchants,
physicians, clergymen. What are want
ed are mechanics, domestic servants, la
borers, builders, masons, operators of
all kinds, for whom there is unlimited

Pay Your small Debts.

The country is now, commercially, at
a stand still. There is no movement,
and until there is, there can be no life.
There must DO a beginning somewhere;
and the beginning cannot be made in a
better way. than by the payment of the
small debts which the people of the
country owe to onc another.
The country is full of grain and pro-
duce of all kinds, and the cities are near
ly empty and readysto purchase freely.
Many, very many farmers are indebted
in small sums to country storekeepers,
and are probably waiting until money
is plenty, to pay them. There is no
need to wait. Let every farmer SO in
debted, gather up enough flour, or grain,
or other produce, sufficient to cancel his
debt, and pay it, instead of money, to
the storekeeper.
The latter, without a doubt, will be
glad to take it, for it will enable him to
pay his debts in the cities where he
deals. He will at once forward the sup
plies thus received, and when he has
thus met his liabilities, his city credi-
tors will be ablc to meet theirs, in turn,
and so on, until one debt cancels anoth-
er, and that another, and a few thous-
and bushels of grain thus put in motion
will carry relief to many who are now
%groaning under a load too heavy for
them to carry. If this were but once
begun fairly, commerce would soon be-
gin to flow again in it's natural chan
nels, and the country would feel the
impulse of a re-awakened life. There
is no place for this to begin but with the
farmers.
They must not wait for the banks tc
move the produce, but must begin tc
move it themselves, in the liquidation
of their little debts, and the after move,
ment will come of itself. The great
want of community, now, is a genera
settlement of accounts, and a squarins
up of balances wherever practicable.
The same thing is true of cities as o.
the country. The man in the city who
owes a mechanic, or trader, or manu-
facturer, IT storekeeper, even if it be ST
small a sum as one dollar, should pay i
now, if he is able. One dollar thus pu
in motion, may pay a hundred small
debts in the course of the day. Thu
tailor and the shoemaker, thus paid
will in turn pay those with whom they
deal, and they will pay others, and st
on without end.-PiHs. Gaz.

BANKING.

In
The merchants of San Francisco are
in a favor of a change in the constitu-
ton of the State, which prohibits the
establishment of banks, but the miners
and the people in the country are as
much opposed to them. There will
probably be no change effected. The
merchants and traders say they are OPP
Grating at great disadvantage; that in
the other States specie represents from
l to 3 and 4 times its intrinsic or re-
ccived value, while with them it is dol
lar for dollar, and credit has not a days
advantage. Business is transacted by
the use ofcheeks, which are immediate
ly payable in specie. IF the party
drawing them has any credit with his
banker, which is extremely rare, he may
have 3 to Is days time to make his
check good, but no longer. ,g4-
The interest paid for money is still
very high, from 2 to 5 per cent. a month,
thus giving the direct lie to the theory
of those political economists who con
tend that where specie is currency, in
terest rules ats low rate. 1t is suppos-
ed that If bank paper was used interest
would 6df directly, and we presume it
would. 1t is said by our informant that
in consequences of the state of society,
the ignorance of the miners, and the
want of institutions in which they can
place confidence, vast amounts of gold
are concealed in California by its pos
SCISSORS Much is slowed away in. beds
and bedding, in hooks and corners of
hopsessand nilions are actually buried
