"Tbe CrIsis.n-"Banks."

As Little. else is written or talked about
noW-a-days-half the matter in all the
papers in the country is Suspensions
.Banks,n sthe Crisisn-the first and last
words, almost, that passes between neigh
bors when they meet or part, is '.hard
times . ''what are we coming to-" and
such like expressions-no further apology
need be necessary for u referring to the
subject again this week, and perhaps yet
again.
Everybody is talking Of the probable
causes" and the ''ultimate result" As
in a short article last week on ~"currency,''
we still are of the opinion that "better
times" are close at hand. The work of
''bank suspensions" however, has still
gone on, until we should not be at all sur
prised, if at the present time, every bank
In the United States has suspended specie
payment. Recent conferences of banking
men from the various parts of the Union
warrant this conclusion. The State Bank
of Missouri even; an institution we have
been told was so securely founded and
guarded that it was impossible for it to
suspend, has gone the way of similar ms
titutions, and now stands on the list Of
suspended specie paying banks. We re-
peatwhat we have saidin aformer article,
when the country is forced down to a coin
currency, such state of affairs as at pre-
sent exists in the business world IS the IN
e1itable result w contend thar The gold
and silver to carry on the immense trade
of the day, is not in the country; and we
doubt very much whether we might no
say with propriety, in the world. Not.
withstanding the draining Of coin from oul
country, we see that the suspension of the
Banks of England, France, and in fac
all the banks Of the old world is conf
IDENTIFY looked for. In support of u po
sition as to our WI country, we presen
the following table of exports of speci,
from the port Of New York for six year
past.

We have not before us the table of i'm
ports for the same years; but this much
we know, if statistics are to be relied on.
We have exported, since 1850, o less
than 1912, 100000, on an aggregate, or
$34,0OO,OOO, annually, on an average, as
excess of exports over imports of coin and
bullion. We have, at that, increased our
foreign liabilities greatly during the same
period, so that the London Times estim-
ates our Indebtedness to England alone at
$500, GOO, 900, or $500, GOO, 900, which at
z 1I2 per cent. obliges us to pay, if called
for, annually, a sum of not less. than $37,-
100000 interest, nearly absorbing all the
gold proceeds from California, which are
thus virtually lost to US. Here then, is in
our humble opinion, the great reason Of
our distress in the financial world, when
we are forced to rely solely on gold and
silver as a circulating medium. j.
The Albany Transcript, in speaking of
our financial embarrassment, very appro-
priately remarks
w several days since called attention to the fact
That owing to the extravagance and folly Of our
people, the yields of the California mines had been
continually drained through us to ELL the Golfers of
european tradesmen and manufacturers. Our neigh
bors on the other side Ofthe water know too much
for as. We are mere children beside them, and
spoiled children at that. They know how to get up
geW-gaws, and they know we Willcovet them. They
know that We will buy every pretty toy that is ex-
posed to our view, and they are not slow in their in
%ventions of such toys. In short, they know that the
"fOol and his money are soon parted But don't
let us despair. The lessons we are learning are
wholesome ones. If we are "paying dearly for the
WHISTLE our experience will be worth something to
us by-and-by.- We are young and vigorous, and
VIII manage to live through our present Yieissitudes
when we hope to see thespoiled child renounce hi:
or eign Playthings and turn to SOMETHING more sub
s~tantial."
1t seems that we maylook v for our
national treasury to feel sensibly the eff
fects of the money panic. The receipts
for the past month has been 49, 0O,0 600;
payments Sl0,600,0 900; being an excess

der date of Oct. "a, in speaking in rela-
ton to this subject, says ;
@The Secretary Of the Treasury was visited thi;
morning by a number Of New York INGREDIENTS, fol
of the country, and aScertaining, as far as possible
Nebraska advertiser., 1857-11-12

how the public revenue is to be affected by the inan-
chi crisis. The returns from the Custom House ex-
hibit the fact that the entries during the past week
were as heavy as at any pastperiod-the goods, how
ever, being stored instead ofbeing thrown upon the
market. The Department was anxious to haye,this
extraordinary fict accounted for, and why he should
anticipate a falling of in tho current revenues so long
as Importation continue to flow In. The merchants
soon solved the problem. These goods now being
entered were shipped to ill orders issued three and
-four months ago-before the general disEuptlon pi
trade. These orders win soon be exhausted, anu
then the revenue from imports will literally dry up
as there had not been an order, to the best Oh tneir
Judgment, sent from New York to Europe fer q DOL
lars worth Of goods, during the last forty days, me
falling off in the receipts will be apparent In Dec
ember and January, when the Secretary Will hnd
himself without a revenue. Such are the views o.
the gentlemen who visited Mr.. Cobb this morning.
Other parties are here, and others still are expected,
fer the Administration believe that Gin o mulatude
of eounselIors there is wisdom" and hr. Cobb Is DC
ternined to avail himself of all the light possible an
these dark times, and to call to his assistance the
prastical experience of Intelligent merchants"
Again we say, if the wheels OF business
continue to move, bank notes must be
used as a circulating medium We do not
mean to say that the notes of every wild
cat bank in the land must be taken. We
refer to the notes of genuine banks-those
properly secured by stocks or other reli-
able securities.

The OueStion Settled,

The question whether Kansas win be q free or
slave State is now deinitiyely and absolutely settled
There is no longer a pro-sIavery party in the Terri
tory. Whatcver hope the South may have INDUCED
of extending slavery to Kansas, must now be given
1p. And with this resultin Kansas all hope Of ex-
tending slavery beyond its present limits iscut off.
The South has placed its dearest interests in the
keeping of the Democratic party. What has it
gained on saved At no time since the formation Of
the g~oyernment has that interest been more hamper
edor in more danger from the encroachment of north
ern fanaticism. Under Democratic rule it has been
settled irrevocably that slavery cannot be extended
one inch beyond its present limits. There is now no
room to hope thatanOther slave State will be driven
from the ground it now Occu pies. Missouri, bounded
east, north and west by free States, will sooner OF
later be compelled to give up slavery. There may be
a question of time, but that such will be the final re-
suit, there cannotbes doubt. So much for SquatteI

SOUTH FORK MINING LAWS.

A 4 MEETING of the Miners assembled at
IN the house of Mr. Mark McNicholas No.
vember 4th, 1854, it was unanimously agreed
that Mr.. James Coogan be nominated President,
and Mr.. John Hogan, Secretary And then and
there the following resolutions were formed and
agreed to:
ARTICLE /. All old claims are to be fully in
sured to the companies owning them, provided
they have been worked by the same compa-
nies the previous season, and that the same old
companies intend to work same claims the ensu-
ing season, SO far as river claims are concerned,
and not otherwise.
ART. q All old claims are fully acknowl-
edged in their full extent, and said claims are
to be respected by having them recorded
ART. g. All river claims are to extend two
hundred feet long to each man, together with
the bed bar and banks, if any, of the river, ta-
ken up after this date
ART. f. All claims can be secured from the
time the river gets high, or from the time MI
ners are set idle by high water, until the 18th
of June, by having notice posted on said claim
and having it recorded; and after the 18th of
June, said claim must be worked, or have the
notice renewed every third day.
ART. 5. All surface claims are to be same
size, say two hundred feet long by one hundred
feet wide to each man.
ART. 6. All tunnel claims are to be one
hundred feet wide through the hill; and all
shaft or deep claims are to be one hundred feet
square to each man.
All these laws to take effect from this date
and to stand permanent until such time as
majority of the miners think proper to have
them repealed.
All these laws to extend to the junction o
the South Fork and North Branch of the Gala
veras river, and to extend up so high as Spen-
