a Financial Crisis.
A General Suspension of Banks.
WAsHINGTON, Sent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %.
A notice posted on the bank of the Me-
tropolis, says the panic created by the suspen-
sion of other banks having caused much
larger demands for specie than was anticipa-
ted, that institution is under the painful
necessity of suspending specie payments for
the present. The trustees remark that they
will make every exertion to resume. The
bank paid out $685. COO on Saturday.
The Bank of Washington and Patriotic
Bank, which paid only small sums on Satur
day, have now altogether suspended. The
The Savings Banks pay either in city banks
Or Virginia money,and demand the six days
notice from depositors. Virginia money is at
a discount of five per cent, and the tendency
downward. Business is nearly paralyzed,
and uncurrent money unsaleable. , I

The banks are still pursuing an inharmo-
NOUS course, causing trouble and vexation to
the business men. The Pennsylvania bank
refuses for the present to come into an ar
rangement with the other banks, fearing that
her largest depositors will remove their bal
ances to other banks creating a large indebt
edness to them, which could not at once be
settled without difficulty. Arrangements
are making to place her on firm basis
The other banks are at variance, refusing to
receive the certified checks of each other
There is confusion in all the arrangements of
parties having notes due, while the funds are
locked up. The people feel outraged at the
want of system, and the necessity for clear
ing house is becoming daily imperative.

indifferent cook was ignorant Of the art
How did she know the art 1t was almost
accidental; the recollection of some good
housewives talk had served her in the right
time. The warm praise bestowed by Edward
on the coffee was ample reward.
Ida bought cook book during the day.
That sounds unromantic. But il was even
so; and she studied it even for hours. Dur
ING the afternoon her mother-in-law came in (;
and Ida urged her to stay to tea. The old
lady accepted the invitation; not, we are
sorry to say, in the very best spirit She had
opened the war on Edwards "butterhy I"
young wife, and she meant to follow it up
When Edward came home and found that
his mother was there his spirits fell. He
saw, by the corners of her mouth, that she
had not forgotten their interview of the pre-
ceeding day; and that her state Of mind was
not whit more charitable. Ida's face was
a little Swallowed; but she was cheerful and
very attentive to his mother-and happily,
ignorant of her true feelings. She came and
went from the breakfast room to the parlor,
frequently, evidently with household cares
upon her mind.
Tea was at length announced. Edwards
heart trembled His mother arose, and with
rather cold air. accompanied her children to
the room where the evening meal awaited
them. The table had an attractive look,
new to the eyes of both Edward and his
mother. 1t was plain that another hand be-
sides the servants had been there. Ida pour
ed the tea, and Edward served the hot bis
cult and cream toast. The eyes of the latter
were on his mother, and she lifted, with an
air which he understood to say, [" Poor stuff"
the cup of tea to her lips. She tasted the
fragrant beverage-set the cup down-lifted
and tasted again. The infusion was fault
less Yes even to her critical taste. Next
the biscuit, and next the toast were tried
Mrs. Goodfellow herself could not have sur
passed them.

PHILLIPS, SAMPSON AND COMPANY


Will commence the ISSUE on the first of Novcm-
Der, of a new Magazine, to be called
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.
1t will he devoted to Literature, Art, and Poll
tics The aim of the Periodical will be,
First: In Literature, to leave no province I'M
represented, so that, while each number will con-
tain articles of an abstract and permanent value.
it will also be found that the healthy appetite of
the mind for entertainment in its various forms of
Narrative, Wit, and Humor, will not go uncared
for They wish to say, also, that while native
writers will receive the most encouragement and
will be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, the publishers will not hesitate to draw
from the foreign sources at their command, us oc-
tency of an author TO treat particular subject,
than on any other claim whatever. In this way
they hope TO make their Periodical welcome where
ever the English tongue is spoken or read
Second: In the term Art, they intend to include
the whole domain of aesthetics, and hope gradu-
ally to make this critical department. a true and
fearless representative of Art, in all its various
branches, without any regard to prejudice, whetll
or personal or national or to private considera-
tons of what kind soever.
Third: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the or
gan of no party or clique, but will honestly en-
dcavor TO be +sle exponent OF what its conductors
believe to be the American Idea. 1t will deal
frankly with persons and with parties, cndeavor-
ing always to keep in view the moral element
which transcends all persons and parties, and
which alone makes the basis of a true and lasting
national prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with
any sect or dnhes but with that body of men
which is in favor of Freedom, National Progress
and Honor, whether public or private. "
TERMs.-Thrce dollars a year. or twenty-five
cents number, and may be obtained of Booksel-
lers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers.

LoAFERs IN PRINTING OFFIoE.-The
composing room Of printing Office is not
the place to tell long stories, or argue abb
struce points in metaphysics. Read, ye
loungers, and be advised:
A printing office is like school; it can
have no intcrlopers, hangers on, or twaddlers,
without serious inconvenience, to say moth
ing of loss of time, which is just as good as
gold to the printer, as though it metallically
glistened in his hand. What would be
thought of man who would enter a school,
and dwaddle first with the teacher, and then
with the acknowledgements the discipline
OF one, and the studies of the other? And
yet this is the precise effect of the loafer in
the printing Office. He seriously interferes
with the course of business, distracts the great
attention which is necessary to the good
printer. No gentleman will ever enter it and
presume to act the loafer. He will feel above
it, for no real man ever sacrificed the interests
of interference with the duties of Others
The loafer does both. Let him think, if he
ever has, that the last place he should ever
insinuate his worthless and unwelcome pres
ence, is in the printing office.

EASTMANVILLE, MICHIGAN:
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER Z, 1857
North and South.

At the present time there is much said
about the course of BUCHANAN in relation to
Kansas affairs. The letter of Prof. SILLIMAN
and others, concerning the Kansas policy, and
the presidents reply thereto, are made sub
jects Of frequent remarks.
We notice that the republican papers of
the north almost universally condemn the
letter of BUCHANAN in the most abusive Ian
guage; speaking of its sentiments as being
unjust to northern interests; false to the
principles of the union of the states, and cal
culated only to please the south; and fur
thermore, frequently declare that the entire
south are delighted with the presidents
course.
Now is it possible that there is a republic
can politician who does not know these
statements to be entirely false false in
every respect, and calculated only to deceive
the public; widen the misunderstanding
which unhappily already exists between the
north and south, and hasten, as a natural
consequence, the dissolution of the union.
In the first place, it has not been clearly
shown that Buchanan's course is one. sided,
nor his position false to constitutional liberty
or the philosophy of government. In the
second place, the south, contrary to the gen
eral impression at the north, are as much dis
satisfied with Buchanan's course, as are the
north themselves. We exchange with sevc-
raj southern papers,a and havean opportunity to
sec both sides of the question. The Kins-
ton IN. c. american AdUocate, in an article
in relation to this letter Of Buchanan's, says:
"The abolitiouists in Connecticut can get
a hearing from him, but the Georgia demo
crazy, requesting it, cannot get any sort of
Contemptuous silence is all they
can or will get from him."
Whether the northern clergymen or the
Georgia democracy have any just cause for
complaint or not, we cannot tell. THEY are
each the best able to decide for themselves.
We can see no just cause. We only hope,
though present appearances are against ii,
that BUcHANAN's administration will be as
generally approved as was that Of PIERCE.

Reason why this Machine is Universally
Preferred over All Others.


Because it is the only Sewing Machine in
the world ever invented, so constructed as to
! fully meet the demands of families for general
/ use.
, II is very simple and is aever liable to get
! out of order.
Itnakesa seam which will not rip, though
every third stitch is cut.
4 1t is not Shuttle Machine.
II sews with two needles, making any
ength stitch desired.
6 II sews from two ordinary spools, and
thus al trouble AT winding thread is avoided;
while the same Machine can be adapted at
pleasure, by mere change of sPooIs, To all
varieties Of work
The same M4chine runs silk or linen
thread, and common spool cotton, with equal
facility.
This Machine viii sew in the sleeves of
coat with the same ease and facility that il
sews straight seam.
Q This Machine can be run to make one
thousand five hundred stitches per minute.
10 The seams are as elastic as the most elias
tic fabric, so that IL is free from all liability TO
break In washing, ironing or otherwise
IL The stitches made by this machine are
more beautiful than any other made either by
hand or machine
