BANK SUSPENSION

lhe Charleston papers announce that the Bank
OF the State of South Carolina was compelled
hy unavoidable circumstances, 10 suspend Satnr.
day morning last. The nnnounc erIent created no
little excitement in Charleston.
The libcraliiy of this Bank in liscoun,inr moi cs
Tor accommodation, thus extending lis discount
and circulation lines, while the other Banks re-
fused to accommodates, anl insisted that the
Bank of the State should discharge the balances
between them in specie is said 10 have been the
causes which have made suspension inevitable
lhc mere fact of suspending specie payment up
oil the part of any Bank in this State, is no evil
dehce Of Its bankruptcy. We do 10: believe
that there is a Bank in the State but what is per
iecty solvent. Yet, we know that they have in
the aggregate. ut least, five dollars in circulation
to where they have one in specie, to redeem il.
III it is so, That they have in circulation five TO
one IT IS evident that there is 10 Bank in the
State but what would be compelled to suspend if
its bills were collected and specie demanded for
them
Hut the fact that the Stockholders of our
Banks are individually liable TO double the amount
"f the capital Stock, and that they have assets
more Than sufficient to meet all liabilities should
inspire the community with confidence in their
solvcncy, and thus ward off the fatal consenuen
ces OF all imaginary financial crisis.
we are unable to account for the present strin.
gcncy III the money market upon any other than
unreal and imaginary causes. We have had. in
times gone by, financial revulsous in which tho
cause oi them were apparent, which wore based
upon reasonable convictions Of danger But now
" ranlc' like Phani aslnal dreams, prcys upon the
public mind, while the wisest are unable tn divine
why it should be so. We have neither war nos.
thence nor famine The country, wo apprchend,
is not more in debt than it has been for several
years past We are in the amidst of the greatest
abundance, and why should there be panic.

HOW DIFFERENT.

We sec 1t stated, that i'll consequence Of the
suspension and closing Of many of the Northern
factories, that Il large class of laburcrs will be-
thrown out of employment, and entirely deprived

factories, that unless these laLurcrs are supported
by the charities Of the community, that many
will starvc.

Erfcndd arrangements for Pr0cmr;ng E~ro-
penn N"rs.-NEw York, October ., lS57-In
consequence Of the temporary failure of the At
lantic telegraph cable, the New ork Associated
Press have decided TO employ a substantial news
yacht at Newfoundland, for the purpose of board
ing, of Cape Race, all the steamers from Liver
pool southampton, IIarvc, Bremen, Glasgow,
&c., kc; and in this cntcrprisc-so important
to the whole public of the United States and
British American provnccs-they hope to re-
ce've the hearty cooperation Of The owners and
commanders of the several steamship lines now
established. If the press should be seconded
Ill this arrangement by the commanders of tho
steamers, there is 10 reason to doubt but that
they will be- able 10 obtnin the news from n
large majority of the steamers passing within
ten or fifteen miles OF Cape Race, and by avail
ing ihcInselve of The New York and Newfound-
land telegraph line. which is kept in admirable
order, they will be aLlo to spread The European
news before the public in about six or eight
days from the time it leaves the English shores
This arrangement will involve very heavy
expenditures, but the Associated Press checrfully
assume the burden, not doubling but that the
public will properly appreciate their efforts, and
sac1gces to promote the interests of the CONNER
cial public and tho pleasure of the general

POSSIBILITY OF FINDING THE CENTRAL,
AMERICA

Various con lectures have hecn advanced as TO
the possibility of discovering. the exact position Of
the wreck %; The steamer Central Amcricn-
This problem propose to solve by the following
proccss:-lhc position of the wreck having been
as"ertaneI within five miles. andthe. soun.linrs
OF that locality averaging from 30 to Guv fuihorr,S
| propose to suggest Il means by which her en-
act positon may be discovered viz: bv the use
of Il powerful submarine electric lantern in con-
ncciion with Il submarine telescope. The sub.
marine electric lantern is instrument very well
known aud in extensive use, the light of which
can he Increased to any intensity. and by which
objects may be discovered at the depth of two
miles. The submarine telescope is an ordinary
telescope made water tight, and screwed through
the bottom Of the vessel. enabling persons with
the aid of tho electric light to discover objects
as far ms the electric light can reflect. Bv the
Use Of these tw" simple Instruments the wreck of
the Central America can, without doubt be dis.
covered; and, in order to satisfy ourselves that
this ill-fa,cd slip is not in depth from which she
can not be raised would suggest the propricty of
fitting out an expedition for the purpose of deter
mining that point. 1t could bc done at con-.
paratively triiiing cost, and would not only Civ C
satisfaction to those immediately Interested, but
also to the community at large.

Of the State having, 10y combination Of other
Banks against her, has been compelled To lead OFF,
We shall expect, in less than ten days TO hear Of
most Of the Banks in the State following suit.
We believe that it would be good policy, by
concert among our Banks, to have general sus-
pension. general suspension would not drprc-
ciatc their bills in this State. if the BanIs them
selves would receive them in payment Of debts
due them. II would have the effect of dcprccia-
ting their value out of the State and driving mill
lions of South Carolina currency, now circulating
i'll the West, back TO its legitimate sphere.
Every department of business is now b!ocka-
dcd. The farmer cannot realize Il cent upon hrs
produce, because the Banks have suddenly shut
down, and are refusing to afford that accvnmo-
'lation which is absolutely required by the neccs.
sites of trade. And why have the Banks done
this! They have done it IA :, precautionary
mcasure-thcy are afraid Of Il run upon them !;
they know that they could not stand up under it,
und for this reason they cur,;ng their en-
pansion, refusing to discount produce drafts
drawing in their circulation, because of their fear
that their bills may be collected, and demands
made upon them for specie, which they would be
unable to meet. But remove this apprehension
by genera! suspension, which should not in this
State where the solvcncy of our banks are so
well known, dcprcciatc their bills. and in less
than ten days the Banks could resume their dis
counts afford that accommodation which the
business wants of the community require and
start the tide of commercial affairs which has
now almost ceased 10 flow.
1t is true, that this result woul.l ,lcpcnd much
upon the disposition of our planters to receive
the Bills of our Banks for their produce. If the
mere fact Of suspension Of spccic.ay yncnt, which
is by no means an evidence of insolvency, would
induce the planter to refuse the Bills Of ssprn
dcd Banks for produce, then the result which we
anticipate would not follow. In tha, case we
would have the Banks Offering Il currency for
produce which the planter would not accept, and
business would remain stagna,cd ~ ut present
We i'll conclusion would at least advise the.
holders Of the Bills of suspended Banks not 10
sacrifice them, because we are thoroughly con-
vinced that our Banks are solvent though they
may have suspended.
