Under this caption, a communication an
peared in the Union and American of Wed
nesday last, commenting unfavorably upon
the statement of the Planters Bank of its
condition on the 10th inst. the date of its
suspension. The object of the writer ap-
pears to be to create the impression that
the Planters Bank is not in sound con-
dition, and suspended from necessity. This.
whether SO intended or not, does the insti-
tntion gross injustice. The greatest care
should be taken in commenting upon the
condition Of banking institutions, especial
ly at a time like the present when the
slightest whisper derogatory 20 their credit
affects the public mind prejudicially The
communication alluded 70, after reciting
the statement of the Bank, says:
"In. foo,iag up the items Of the Bauk's imme-
date liabilities, via: their promises 10 pay Ia ths

THE SOUTHERN UEIvERsITY.-It will be refnen-
bered that the meeting Of the Board of Trustees
OF the Institution at lookout Mountain IN July
last, Committee on Location was appointed. THIS
Committee, of which Bi hop Polk is Chairman, was
composed of one person from each of the ten
States represented Impressed with the grave re.
spopsibiljtV Of the duty assigned it and the impor-
lance Of bringing to its aid the most authentic in
formation it has, We learn, appointed Commission
of Engineers to Investigate the claims of the most
prominent sites presented, in the region agreed
upon.
This Commission is headed by Colonel Walter
Gwynn, gertIemsn of high character, and well
known to the country for his eminent scientific at
tainments 1t has fnte ed upon its work, aud viii
have ts report in readiness fo- the adjourned meet
ing Of the Committee, on the 18Th November prox-
imo to be held in Montgomery Alabama. At this
meeting the question of location will be finally dis
posed OF, we have DO doubt judiciously and to the
satisfaction of the public generally.
The region under examination is understood to
be the mountain district, embraced in East Tonnes
see, Northeastern Alabama and Northwestern Geor-
ga which, from its saIubrity and beauty, has been
not inaptly called the Switzerland of America. In
such region the difficulty will be, in finding
a suitable site, but in choosing among so many of
such attractions-K O. Bulletin.

Here we see that the Planters Bank has
a surplus of assets over its liabilities of
$1,728,47O 81; to be applied to their ex-
tinguishment before any goes to the stock
holder. What better evidence is wanted
of its impregnability to all assaults? None,
unless by those who are purblind, or de-
sire to drag the institution down to the
level of concerns too weak and infrm to
withstand the pressure of the times. 1t
shows conclusively that the Bank is more
than solvent, that it is rich and abundant
ly able to pay specie whenever the inter-
ests of the people render it polite to do
SO.

learn, belong to business men who are reg
ular customers of the Bank, and are in
debted to it to the fullamolnt of their de-
posites. No run has been made on this
Bank at al. The chief liability of the
Bank is the sum Of $685., lao for eircula-
ton. and its cash means we're sufficient to
redeem it as fast as presented; and its dis
counted notes amounting to 81, 234, l.lS,
sconstantly maturing would have furnished
it more than ample means to take up all
other liabilities as presented. Before 1t
suspended its notes had already command
ed premium of 2 per cent, and had 1t
continued to pay specie, it would have been
compelled to reject the notes of the Bank
of Tennessee, and all others, not paying
specie. This would have been oppressive
upon the community, and is an additional
argument in favor of the policy of suspen-
sion.
The writer further says.
Amougits assets they place the sum of s114, 52s
"a. due from the Bank of Tennessee This amount
will not pay the Bank the amount of stock trans-
ferred by the State to the Bank of Tennessee. The
stock held by the State Bank in the Planters Bank
amounts to S232, ZOO. AS the Planters Bank has
suspended payment it should be placed on the same
footing with an individual and its assets should go
to pay is liabilities You have already shown that
its depositOrs and note-hoders were not provided
| ior-that their active assets would not meet its
dues to depositors and note holders, unless they
took notes and bills real estate wait until the
Bank eau coll ct its debts. Now how is the Bank
of Tennessee to get its stock from one of the in
situations that only wanted con6dencef 81 = 3
Does not the writer know that the Bank
of Tennessee is in precisely the same posi-
ton of other NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it must
pay its debt to the Planters Bank, and
after all other liabilities are paid, come in
for its share of the profits? If he knows
any thing about the subject, he certainly
knows this. We are sure that the Bank
of Tennessee will not pretend to put in its
stock as an offset to its debt
But to bring this subject to close let
us dissect the statement of the Planters
Bank, and see what its real condition was
on the 10th inst. We do so as follows:
