TIE BANK FAILURES. The Bank
Of Attica and the Grammercy Bank,
together with four Illinois banks
have failed during the past week.
Their failures have not only involved

tually lose $4,000. -Tew AIbany

: generally, too, amongst the honest,
hard working classes, who obtain lit

banking institutions; yet they almost
invariably bear the losses incident
to such establishments. Banks, or
iginally, were designed to be made
up of associated capital as q basis
for their business, but now, they are
generally, contrivances of individuals,
who are without money and with an
inconveniently large debt upon them,
aud this debt is put upon the credu-

The issue of no bank withoutcap-
tal-CAsH-as' basis, will do to
give the public a currency at all reli,

will deny this position. The issues
of all banks without money as their
basis, had better be taken home for
payment. To know the reality oil

State, until he is ruined. He surren-

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:
Thursday Morning, March IL, 1851
GarOliag in New York.

They have a new and peculiar In
stitution in New York, which they
call garoting, and which seems to Be
in avery furnishing condition just
at this time. The Savannah News
says the NV York gaIote differs
from that of HAVANA in this--in-
stead of applying an iron collar to
one neck, and choking the life out
of him, the New York garotels grasp
their unsuspecting victim by the
.Heezen' as they pass along the
street, and never relinquish their hold
until they have squeezed the last
dime from his pocket. The papers
contain reports Of quite a number OF
cases of ~g iroting," three of which
occurred in one night. Ia one case
a Massachusetts man, a stranger III
the city, was passing the corner OF
West and Robinson streets, when
three men approached him from De-
hind, and hs was instantly seized
back Of the n OK, tripped up ana
dashed on the pavement The rob-
bcrs then plundered him of Sl9' IN
bank bills ard fled. In another case,
on the same night, man was found
by three others. lying insensl5le on
the pavement with bis pockets turned
inside out. They took the garoted
man to the Station House, and alter
wards started for their homes, when
three men whom they had seen near
the place where the robbed man was
lying, logged the party until they
separated, when the garoters made
an unsuccessful attempt at one OF
them. Tn, other case had rather a
different result. The Tribune says;
A gentleman was passing along the
square sidewalk, opposite the Hippo
drome, when he was set upon by
two ruffians, one on each side. The
first seized his left hand, while the
second grasped his throat. The gen
tleman happened to be swinging a
light cane with leaden end IN bis
right hand. BY lucky impulse he
brought it over his shoulder and upon
the head of one of the villains, fell
ing him to the ground, VIII re he lay
senseless. His fellow released his
hold and took to bis heels. The
person attacked, instead of finishing
the scoundrel who was down, also
took to his heels, we regret to say;
and the cool air doubtless soon
brought the rogue to his senses.
This new system Of highway rob-
berry in the most frequent thorough
fares of The city, seems to have pro-
duced quite a sensation among the
citizens, and the courts are taking
the most rigorous measures to sup
press it. Michael Nuget and George
Hide were tried before Judge Russei
for 'sgaroting.' Archibald Vallale,
and the first was sentenced to Sing
Sing for life and the latter for fifteen
wears. Several Others have been
arrested, who probably were disposed
Of in thu same manner.
