TEXAS AND SLAyERY.-lhe New Orleans
Crescent sounds the alarm in relation to the
danger which threatens slavery in Texas from
the German settlers, who, it states, are already
numerous enough, in connection with Mexican
and other foreign voters, to control the politi-
cal character Of the State. 1t says that whom
ever they see tit to make the issue and come
ont openly against slavery, they will be Joined
by many natives who arc opposed to it, and
that it is not at all unlikely that within five
years a free State may thus be established in
Texas.
1t is stated on good authority that the new
fllibustering expedition against Nicaragua will
be composed entirely of Southern men and of
ficers that the latter will be, as far as possible,
West Point graduates; that nothing will be talk
en- from New York except money, arms and
munitions of war; that Walker will not be the
military chief of the expedition, but will go out
to proclaim himself President of Nicaragua
and content himself with civil affairs.
ROBBERY OF A BALTIMoREAN.-Mr. John
Butler, of Baltimore, was knocked down at
the railroad depot, in Smbenyille, Ohio, on
Monday, by O boulder in handkerchief in
the hands of some villain, which felled him to
the ground. The Herald says that Butler
was also stabbed in the face, after which, he
was robbed Of seven hundred and thirty-three
dollars. He was otherwise maltreated, and
manned in one of his ankles. He gave the
alarm as soon as he had sufficiently recovered
but the ruftians, of the number of three oil
four, had made their escape.

SUSPENSION OF SpEcIE PAYMENrs-A REaiN-
IscENsE.--The first general suspension OF spe-
Gle payments in this country occurred in Sep
TENDER, 1916, Immediately after the capture oil
the City of Washington by the British. The
BANKS in New York and all those South and
West suspended, and did not resume generally
for three or four years, till after the Bank Of
the United States went into operition--many
never resumed at all. None Of the banks in
New England, however, suspended during the
disastrous periods of the embargoes and war.
The general suspension OF specie payments by
the backs in 1887 at New York, May 10TH
The next day those OF Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore followed suit, and were sue
ceeded by others In different sections OF the
country in rapid succession. A writer in the
Cincinnati tIaGette, in noticing the foregoing
facts, says: -
The Ohio Trust Company, by its charter,
was compelled to resume within thirty days
and did so, though at great sacrifice, in pur-
chasing specie at 10 per cent. premium. An
attempt was made to make all of them redeem
their notes undr ten dollars, but IT resulted in
nothing. Our banks, in common with those
generally throughout the Union, made an eff
fort at resumption in 1894, but almost uniyer-
sally broke down in the operation. The Legis-
latnre of New York legalized the suspension
Of their banks for one year. They, accord
ingly, all resumed May 10Th, 1888, and sustain
ed themselves during the disastrous times that
followed for three or four years. The resnmp-
tion was not thorough and general throughout
the Union till 1913 and 1874.
When the New York banks resumed in
1888, their business being then on a specie
basis, exchange on that place from all other
points rose enormously high. In this city II
ranged from 10 to 10 per cent premium
The suspension in New York in 1887 was
preceded by a period eff unprecedented com.
mercial distress. Three hundred heavy firms
failed there that spring with liabilities estima
ted at $40, 000,0 900, and it was said that twenty
thousand men, dependent on their daily labor
for their support, were thrown out OF employ
ment. The pressure was equally severe in
other places one hundred and sixty-eight
firms failed in Boston during the six months
preceding the suspension. In New Orleans, u:
every western man will remember, bushes:
was transacted ON u most inflated scale. In two
| days houses stopped there, owing in the aggre
gate $50, 900 ,0OO and it was stated in the pa
pers that the liabilities OF the house of II.
j. Dick reached SIS 100000, and that thei
bank payments tho day before they stopped
reached S400,OO0. A general bankrupt lay
Yves necessary to clear the country of thes
wrecks.

MARINE Losses FOR SEPTEMBER.-The list
of disasters TO sca-going American vessels
during September is unusually heavy for sin
gle month. 1t embraces no less than thirty
Two vessels totally lost, namely, two steamers,
three ships, four banks, five briggs and eighteen
schnoners. Besides these, there are two re.
ported missing, aud which ii is very improba-
bic will ever be heard Of again, and ten others
which went ashore within the month, but not
given over, though several OF them may proba-
bly, never be got afioat again. The total value
of the vessels lost and their cargoes, including
the treasure on tho Central America, is 49,
l72,l00. This is the value OF property totally
lost exclusive OF damages to vessels not
amounting to total loss, and Of partial losses
Of cargo. The aggregate losses by marine
disasters since the first Of January is $l4, 1885,
300.

From the Chicago Tribune of Sept. 20.
A BANK MoDBED.--There was rumor on
the streets yesterday, TO the effect that one Of
the banks in GAINESVILLE had been severely
handled the day previous by an excited popu-
lace. The story goes that the bank in question
had been paying out on checks through the
day large quantities of the bills of the Hart
ford County Bank. Much of it was paid TO
farmers, WHO were in from tho country, for
wheat.
In the afternoon the intelligence that the
Hartford County Bank had been closed by the
Bank Commissioners spread through the town,
creating the most intense excitement among
those who had received bills through the day.
At once large crowd collected in front of the
bank that had paid out the bills, and demand
ed that other money shyud be given in eX-
change for them; this was refused, and the
crowd commenced an attack upon the bank.
In the melee, axes, brickbats and other mis-
sies We're called into requisition, the doors and
windows of the bank were speedily demolish-
ed, and the crowd rushed in-ony to find,
however, that the officers Of the concern had
disappeared, carrying the contents OF the vault
along with them. Such is the report said to
have been brought to the city by passenger
on the Fond du Lac train, who left JaneSylle
on Wednesday, evening.
We give the rumor for what it is worth. The
GAINESVILLE Gazette Of yesterday morning, says
nothing Of such an occurrence having taken
place.

General Pillows Address to the people of
Tennessee, il we are to judge by the number
abound in inaccuracies. Ex-Presdent Tyler
has published IL reply to that portion of the ad
dress which asserts that lie had used $500, 900
out Of the secret service fund in purchase of
the political press of the State of Maine. In
asmuch as the transaction is said TO have oc-
Cured in 1912, and as at that time there had
been but single appropriation OF 900
made 10 the fund, Mr.. Tyler may be considered
as perfectly iustifable in pronouncing General
Pillows statement utterly absurd

DoN'r HOARD THI SpEcIE.--There is .bnn-
dance OF specie in the country for all the or

ness will languish, stagnate or decay mpgapor-

The propensity 10 hoard specie is one OF the
lowest and meanest vices Of the huM,.n mind.

EFrFcT or THE CRISIS IN NEW onLrASs.-

EXPECT or THE CRISIS IN NEW OnLEANs,-
HEAVY DECLINE IN CorTON AND EXcuAGE.-
NetC Orleans, Oct. Tho money market here
begins to feel the effect of the crisis severely.
ami both loans and discounts are exceedingly
hard to make. The Banks are Iiscounting o1ly
moderately and large amount OF ilrst class
paper is thrown upon the street, at the most
exOrbitant rates.
The effect of the squeeze is observed most
perceptibly in the cotton market, which has
fallen from l6c to lac for niddlug within two
days. The decline, however, has brought in
purchasers with ready cash, and oyer I0Oj bales
in all have been sold at about the latter figure,
IA cents.)
In Breadstutis and indeed nearly all articles
OF produce, sudden and unlocked for depre-
citation has commenced.
The confidence of the community on the
Banks, however, remains unabated, and such
thing as suspension is not for a moment en-
tertained. Exchange continues very unsettled
which adds materially to the difficulties of
trade. The best bills on London have been
sold at par. Sight bills on New York are uuo-
ted at J per cent premium, and W day bills
at per cent. discount.
