Marshal, that the neutrality laws must be

Office, in this city, any one curious in botany
can see fresh vigorous plant, now about
six inches high, growing from common
wooden tobacco spittoon which is filled with
stumps of cigars and tobacco guilds. That

of masticated tobacco must star,le the most
credulous, and we almost fear to hazard our
reputation for veracity on the point, but The
doubtful can be satisfied by calling few
doors East of our office. This fact in the
nature and history of tobac,o being estab-
lshed, should be a warning to the mastca-
tors of the weed to be careful not to keep
tobacco in their mouths during sleeping
horrs, for they might wake up some fine
morning with fine crop of tobacco grow
ing through the mouth and nostris. II the
growth should be rapid, suffocation would
undoubtedly be the result. Lovers of the
weed, heed the warning!

Acts affecting the Free Banks, the first OF
which provides that after the LIST OF Septem-

than five dollars; and that the circulation of
any bank or branch bank shall, within any six
months, computing from Isl January to LIST
July and from lst July TO LIST January, not
erceed is discounts more than tlco thousand
dollars-exeepting the Bank of Tennessee.
The other Act of the last session provides
that no Free Bark shall thereafter be organ.
lied with less capital than 100000 dollars,
and that commissioners, appointed by the
Governor, shall receive the money, and the
bonds be purchased by the Comptroller. 1t
also provides that il the bonds used by bank
ers shall decline and remain below par in the
city of New York as shown by the sales of
the Stock Board Of that city, then the Comp
troler is required to retain the interest on
such bonds as are deposited, accrued or to
accrue, until additional bonds are deposited
with him to make good the par value of such
bonds And in case Of such depreciation the
Comptroller shall give notice of the same, and
the banker shall, within sixty days, deposit
additional bonds 10 make them good, and in
case of failure TO do so, the Comptroller is
directed to take charge of the assets and wind
up the bank That no Free bank shall be or
ganized with less than ten bona fde stock
holders; majority of the stock to be owned
by residents of the State; and the semi annu.
al reports or statements shall specify the
name, residence and amount of each stock
holder That with the advice OF the Cover
nor and Secretary of State, the Comptroller
may wind up any bank for a violation of any
of these provisions OF the law; and sell the
bonds at auction in New York, after thirty
DAYS notice in that city and in this State :
That the Comptroller shall give notice to
note holders. in case of liquidation, in news
paper in Nashville, and in one in the county
here the bank is located, oEce month for
two years, when he is authorized to hand
over remaining assets and bonds to stock
holders: That the circulation may be increas.
ed or decreased at pleasure by increasing or
withdrawing bonds from the Comptroller
not to 90 below 100000 dollars, nor exceed
three times the amount of capital actually
paid in: That in case of suspension, any per-
son holding one thousand dollars of the notes
of the bank, may present them to the Comp
troller and receive from him in lieu, one thou
sand dollars six per cent. coupon bonds, at
New York market value, provided the same is
not under par That bankers under this Act,
or that of 1872 shall not discount notes
directly or indirectly, at II greater interest
than other banks are allowed, under penalty
of forfeiiureot the rights of banking, and fine
not less than so nor more than 500 dollars.
The other provisions are unimportnnt, except
that the provisions of this Act apply to those

Banking law, us fully ms to those TO be or

rights.

WHEAr-The New York Economist says:
THE idea has been entertained TINT, because
the crops of Europe and England are very
large this year, that therefore the large crops
of the United States will find but mengre
market. This view. we think is erroneous,
for the reason that since the English famine
of lS47, the United States grain trade has
been an established one. In years of good
harvest European wants take all surplus,
and in years of bhd harvest, we have no;
hitherto Seen able to supply them with
enough to affect prices there, while our over
exports have carried prices so high as to com.
pei our own consumers to pay famine prices
The Economist then publishes table,
showing the imports of breadstufs, for a Sc
ries of years, into Great Britain and France,
by which it appears that the wants OF those
countries are annually increasing-that the
imports of both for 1856 were greater than
for the famine years of lS47-S. The exports
of the United States have also continued to
increase, as will be apparent from the annex
ed exhibit of the shipments for the years
ls43 and 1857.

apprehension from the least suspicious state

The ONO AND KENTUCKY "Hoc CRop "
The Cincinnati Price Current, contains sor,.
interesting statements on this subiee, I,
says:

rate.
Dealers and all interested in the provision
market will always find il safe to ASSUME
there are, every year, hogs enough in tbs
country; there may be less at one time thar
at another, but there is always enough 70
fatter so as TO make long hog crop, ia casa
the inducement and the means exist 10 a
this.
In Kentucky we find over one mllo,
hogs over six months old on the 10th a
January, 1857, and in Ohio, if the Increase
in the counties not yet heard from is tbs
same rs it is in those reported, there were
2,lS432 hogs over six months old on tbo
first of last April. Indiana and Illinois had
no doubt three millions Of this age on tina
first OF April, so that it will be seen the SIM.
ply of the animals is ample. But then il !,
said, and it is true, that hogs are being swem
away by the "hog cholera" at frightfnl rate
This, however, is confined to few localities
chiefly in the vicinity of dislileries, and wa
feel safe in saying that the whole number
carried off in this way for the year ending
Dec. 81, 1857, will not exceed one hundred
thousand; or, even if it should reach ope
hundred and fifty thousand, it could not di.
minish seriously the number brought TO
market This will be obvious to any person
upon the rcfl elton that in Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, there were over SIX mil
lions hogs six months old and upwards on
the lst of last April. We think we may as.
sumo now, without fear of contradiction,
that the supply OF hogs is ample.
The editors express the opinion that, all
things considered, there will be "a long hog
crop" and a large increase in the number
brought to market.

THE ocOEE BANK.
From the Cleveland Clarion !


Most of our readers will probably be APP
prised before our paper reaches them, that
the Bank has temporarily suspended specie
payment. For the past thirty days a run has
been made upon the Bank for specie, which
was met without faltering until the general
crash throughout the country dictated to the
officers that a suspension, for time, would
be the wisest policy, as well for the commu.
portion of our business men was handed into
the Bank on Monday morning urging sus-
pension, and accordingly the doors were
closed on that day. Below will be found a
statement of the Bank, with the card of the
officers, from which it appears that the Bank
is amply able to meet all its liabilities:

ment Of the Bank, from which it will appear
that the Bank has sutfieiency of assets to
