Bank of the state of South Carolina
Suspended.

Telegraphic dispatches received in this city this
morning. from Charleston, announce the suspension
of specie payments by ''tIe Bank of the State Of
South Carolina"
When we first heard this intelligence, our sur
prise was somewhat excited, but moments re-
Election convinced us, it result to have been
anticipated, as among the fixed facts, unless the
other Banks of Charleston sustained it. The BANK
of the State, has long enjoyed credit IL was DOT
entitled to; and being exclusively STATE lnsI'u-
ton, and managed by favorites OF the Legl-iature
It has been conducted by a class OF pohtico-com
merclal men. who generally used the Bank to sub
serve their own and their legislative frende pur'
noses IN other words they have presumed upon
the Cred;t of the Bank to grant large accommoda-
10, Ioors not ~ advance or promote the CONNER
iI iOtsrests of the State or city, but to sustain
- de- and noIiticians The consequence has
49, H. Rsnk has been overrun with that class of
Le,o,oss and the result is seen in a suspension of
80 ,aVments-being the first institution in the
p,ton growing States to proclaim its inability to
meet it's engagements.
Without any knowledge on the subject, we ven
.,re to express the opinion, that the other Banks
IN Charleston will not follow the very perncious
example set by the Bank of the State, and, there
fore that institution will be Immediately wound up
a desideratum which the true friends of a sound
currency in that State have long been endeavoring
TO accomplish
This suspension should not, we think, produce
any excitement. 1t was, as we remarked, TO have
been anticipated, as a certain result of the policy
and course of the institution. The true policy for
the people to pursue in this crisis is not to permit
themselves to become panic stricken in reference
TO the sound and safe Banks.-Aug1lstI Chronicle.

Bank suspensions in New York.

The telegraph brings advices of the sus-
pension yesterday of eight of the City
Banks of New York. There are in the
city some sixty -One Banks, and upon in
quiry amongst banking men, we find that
they know little, if any thing, of the char
acter of those which have suspended. We
imagine they are ''lame ducks, - small concerns
which were bound to go down. at any rate
they bear but small proportion to the whole
number; and we do not apprehend any further
suspension amongst the really solvent institu-
lions, which have borne themselves bravely
thus far.
Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1857-1858, 1857-10-14

SoUTH CAROLINA BANKs.-The money panic
seems to have reached South Carolina, in good
earnest. Elsewhere we notice the suspension
of the Bank of South Carolina. We are per-
mitted also to copy the following despatch,
received by gentleman in this city, dated in
Charleston, on the 18th instant:
'The S. w. r. R. Bank and Bank of South Car
DINA have suspended Exchange Bank of COlum
bia and Planters Bank of Fairfield notes not taken
on deposit"
This is the first heavy cotton growing state
that has yielded to the general pressure. There
is a large amount of the circulation Of the
South Carolina banks, in the three States of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, especially
in the latter; and we fear it will have a pow
erful influence upon the monetary affairs OF
those States.

Private CorporatioDs.


Our statute books are so full of charters
Incorporating private companies, and the
general results of these interpretations in
dictate so little benefit to the public. or to
those for whom they were made. a general
feeling seems to have sprung up in the
community against them. We have no
doubt that this feeling is to a certain ex-
tent, well founded When it is the estab-
lished custom to grant the privileges of in
corporation Unfortunately, and as a mat
ter OF course upon every application, there
are many who would avail themselves of
che license, to practice all sorts of frauds
under the guise and protection of law. There
have been so many failures of projected en-
terprises, whereby the people have been swim
died to the extent of their stock that the
whole system has fallen into great disrepute
And 1t Is but reasonable to suppose, that
projects of real intrinsic utility will be re-
tarded and prevented, by the suspicious
which are beginning to surround all these
corporations. Thus, while the chances are
small for any good to flow from such a
course, much good may be depressed. The
session before the last of our Legislature
appeared to have determined to abolish the
natural persons of the State, and to erect
artificial persons every where, over the face
of 1t. We must confess that when there
are so many shams, artifcials and hum
bugs, perVading every branch of business
we are not surprised to see a disposition tc
diScountenance their further manufacture
But while this is unquestionably the
case, we could not recommend the policy
of refusing to grant acts of incorporation
in every instance. There will be, probably
in the mass of applications of this sort, be
fore this and every succeeding Legislature
many of real merit. Having passed t.
one extreme, it would be unreasonable t,
pass instantly to the other With tn
Committees on Private Corporations lies
