In compliance with our circular of this
morning to Depositors, we submit the follow
ing general statement of our business, with
out waiting to make an exhibit in detail, which
would be perhaps, less ineligible.

yesterday our cash and CORRESPONDENCE
our liabilities were greatly reduced.)
Our Bills payable are about $4,000, being
ceieAy for Eastern loans, for which real es-
tate, worth from two to three times the
amount, is held.
Our total liabilities (disregarding small
amounts on either side) may be stated at
$4,000. Our assets, the above $4,000,
and Real Estate worth fully $25O,OO0, leav-
ing an excess over liabilities of 100000.
In ordinary times our suspension would
only be temporary. In the present trying
time we deem it vain to think of resuming,
and have assigned to D. A. Robertson, ESQ,
in order that we may realize from assets
without hindrance, and as speedily as posi-
BILE discharge all indebtedness, notwithstand-
ing it involves the socriGce of prosperous
and profitable business.
We felt it duty to prefer depositors and
only them: claims of one hundred dollars
and less to oe first paid.

DEMocRAr1c STATE CONVENTION. The Salisbury
Banner suggests that the next Democratic State
Convention be held early in February. The courts,
says the Baaner in che east and west begin on the
LIST March and Il the Convention be not held be-
fore that time, many delegates who may hsye busi-
ness at the COURTS will not be able to attend and
thus. the nominations Of candidate, being made BY
few persons who may be able to attend, would not
be 50 warmly approved. ,,ss y 2 ateL :
We agree in opinion with the Charlotte Democrat,
that February is too early There is no danger that
the attendance will be SMALL or that the nosnsaton
will DO made hya few persons" The last Con-

JUICE HExPniLL AND GENERAL HENDERSON, recent
ly elected the listed States Senate by the Legis
lature of Texas-the former to succeed the veteran
Houston on the expiration Of bis present term, We
take it. is gentleman of the very highest repnta-
ton as iurist His age We believe be about for
ty-six or forty.eight. He has long been the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Of the State, in all
which time be has ranked, for legal learning clear
ness of intellect and high personal character, sec
ond to other urist all the Southwestern States
We are thus particular in describing him, because
he is comparatively unknown so far North.
His Colleague, General Henderson. is better known
out of Texas. He represented the Independent Re.
public here ere its annexation to the United States
took place. and is familiar to thousands Of the pub
lie men of the North. East, South and West rs
gentleman of fne talents, a,tainments, and high
character. Indeed both destined al once to take
very decided rank among the leading minds Of the
Senate of the United, States. Our impression Of
Judge Henphill is that he will be found acting in
immediate concert with the most decided Southern
Rights members of the body, while the identified.
ton of General Henderson with tn 1t political school
will probably be less distinct and de6nite.-Wash.

BAPTIST STATE CoSvENrIoN-We learn. from the
Biblical Recorder that the Rev. James Mcdaniel Of
this town. was reelected, with entire unanimity,
President of the late Convention; Elder J. B. Solo
mon, SeCre: airy; and Elders O. H. Trotman, w. NJ.
Wingate and j. j. James, Vice Presidents. In his
opening address, Mr.. Mcdaniel re arked that, Of
those brethren who were present when the Consen-
ton was organized, t~en:yeight years since, in the
town of Tarboro, only one besides himself was now
present Nearly all of that little but devoted band
were gathered to their Fathers and had entered mp
on their reward in the world of glory. .
The following Delegates were appointed to . Con-
venton to be held at Greenviile G., 10 provide for
establishing General Theological Seminary for the
South and Southwest, viz: j. Mcdaniel, j James,
J. L. Pritchard, T. W. Tobey, I. E. Skinner, j.
Mitchell, W. NJ. Wngate, j. B. Solomon, @. H. Tot.
man. T. H. Pritchard, A. Mcdowell, w. Hooper.
The principal incident Of the Convention was the
completion Of the subscription Of $50 600 for the
dowment Of Wake Forest College. -" Brethren who
had previously given literally to this object anxious
for the completion of the work, came forward and
increased their subscriptions, and thus the work
accomplished" .f"~ $50 = .

GlSc1xsAr,, Nov. ia special convention Of the
Methodist Protestant Church of the North aud West
has been in session here for several days.
No important action was taken until yesterday,
when the following preamble and resolutions were
adopted: e.
"WHEREAs, we have received satisfactory ipfor-
nation that the entire freedom Of discussion on the
subject of slavery cannot be enjoyed in Lynchburg
and whereas we do not feel under obligations to
meet our Southern brethren upon any other ground
than upon terms of equality; therefore
Resotced, That it is inexpedient and unnecessa-
~ for representatives of the North and West to at
tend the general conference at Lynchburg with .
viewto secure redress Of the grievances which. We
suffer-" ''.-.7 -4.- = -
At the afternoon session memorial to the gener-
al conference was drawn up, which says:
is our earnest desire to perpetnate the union
with the General Association. but we must in Chris.
tian fairness state that insuperabe pediments pre-.
vent the continuance of the union; that the traffic
in slaves and the voluntary holding Of slaves conflicts
with the rights Of humanity. and We regard it a.
our bounden duty as ministers and. members oil the
church to oppose the above practice also that the
word white be struck from the constitution"
The memorial was adopted.
The convention will probably adjourn today.

from the Winston Sentinel:
MEssRs. EDlroRs A correspondent of the Stan
dard, writing from Washington city, audes in high.
ly complimentary and justly merited terms, to the
course OF Col Bggs one of our Senators in the Con-
gross Of the United States. trust you will readily
assent, that the people of the whole State have no
less reason to feel satisfied with the public course of
ExGov. David s. Reid, the colleague of Mr.. Biggs
in the Senate. There is probably man in the
State who has . stronger hold on the affections Of
the people, than Gov. Reid. His persevering advo-
cacy OF Equal Suffrage, of which measure he was the
author, and which he has recently seen endorsed
and approved by an overwhelming popular VOTE has
made him an universal favorite with the people,
while it was but one public a.testing his attach.
inent and devotion to popular rights. The people
Of the whole State may justly be proud of such
man as David s. Reid His course to promotion
and emnence has been marked by practical results
the end OF his labor has been the good of his
fellow citizens No man may come to David S. Reid
with the imputaton of political dishonesty or dema-
goguesm His public acts, like bis private life, have
ever attested even to his political opponents the
uprightness, the patriotism, and the purity of the
man.
Of the course of Gov Reid in Congress it is I'M
necessary to speak in detail That he has been ever
faithful and Jealous in the discharge of his duty
ever firm and ready at his POSTAL must agree.
The people Of the West, who know him well, and
who delight to do him honor the friends and neigh
bors among whom he lives, and his fellow citizens
throughout the State, will readily join in according
to him the :" we'll done !" Of the faithful servant

The Regisee-s ideas shout the importance of oues-

recently. But short time since the great and i'm.

Pope and keeping foreigners from cannibalising
