CIGARS.

81 knew by the smoke that 90 gracefully curled
Around his moustache that cigar was near
And said if there's bliss to be found in the world
That man who can smoke, might hope for it here"
We were tempted thus to travesty MOORE beau
tifu lines, on receiving present of choice cigars
from the new firm of ALLISON & BRArToN. They
have on hands q fine assortment of this luxury,
comprising the best brands. By-tbe-by, We neg
lected to notice last week the new copartnership,
but we presume that most of our readers know
that the old firm is dissolved and that ALLISON &
BRATToN now occupy the stand of L. P. BARNETT
Co. If you have not yet made the acquain-
tance of our young friend DR.. ]. B. ALLISON, you
should do SO without delay, as we can confidently
commend him to all who deal in materia msdica
Call at least and examine his Regalias.

REVOLUTIONARY YINCIDENTs--HIsTO
OF YORK DISTRICT,

We propose writing for the columns Of the En-
oUIRER, series of sketches, giving the interest.
ing Details the minor incidents and anecdotes of
the Revolution in the upper part of South Carroll
no, but principally in York District. Such labor
Of love, we think due to those who in skirmishes
with the Tory and British, displayed the heroism
which has immortalized the brave combatants of
more illustrious fields. We will be under obliga-
tions to friends who will communicate any iGfor-
nation, anecdote, or fact, connected in any way
with the Revolutionary characters of this or neigh
boring districts. If we Gun collect the material
in time, We will begin the series the first of 1858.
little trouble on the part of our oldest citizens
will enable US to preserve many an interesting re-
minscence, which, even now, survives only in the
legends of tradition. ANY person possessed of
such information will confer favor by writing
or calling when convenient, and giving it orally
He is poor patriot and an unworthy descendant
of an illustrious ancestry, who will not devote 8
few days to such work. We will see how many
will respond to our call

or Of policy. That your honorable body may deal
with these offending institutions in no very mea
sured terms, and with an unsparing hand, so as to
arrest the wild, reckless and extravagant system
of speculation they have naugurated in our State,
is his earnest hope and desire.
NoTg.-Since the foregoing report was closed
at the end of the fiscal year, no less than twelve
out Of twenty Banks have suspended specie pay
ments. The evil is upon the country at even ON
earlier period than the Comptroller anticipated,
although he apprehended serious financial embar-
rassments from the illegitimate course of the
Banks in this State and called the attention of the
Legislature to their speculations in his Annual
Report as early as the years 1854, '55, and ST.
1t was his conviction that they would sustain
themselves until after the expiration Of the ap.
preaching session, but the outside pressure from
other States and banking institutions was too great
to be resisted, and they have been driven into
suspension. Whatever diversity of opinion NAV
prevail as to the wisdom and policy of their sus-
pending, that great blame attaches to them for
placing themselves in the condition that rendered
suspension necessary, no one will question or
doubt, and they should be made to suffer the pen
alties therefor. The Comptroller General, as
chief officer of the financial department of the
State, in view of the crisis which has been precp-
tated upon US feels it incumbent on him to pre-
sent, with great Difference, his opinions as to the
proper remedy to be adopted to punish the dein.
quent Banks, and to prevent in future state of
affairs which must lead to similar result. The
penalties imposed by the second section of the
Act Of ls4O, to provide against the suspension of
specie payments, should be firmly and vigorously
enforced. Should either of the suspended Banks
neglect or refuse to pay the penalty already pre-
scribed by law, provision of law should be made
by which legal proceedings could at once be insti-
tuted against such delinquent Bank or Banks for
the purpose Of vacatng or declaring void its char
ter. To prevent future speculation, and secure
sufficient metallic currency for the ordinary wants
Of the people Of the State, no Bank should be al
lowed to issue bills of less denomination than
twenty dollars. The shaving of paper, now descri-
