Spe aking in Chillicothe.

CuILLIcorHE, Mo-, July 10Th, 1857.
EDIroR BRusswIcKER-Dear Sir: Think
ing that you would be pleased to know how
political matters are lending here, l avail
myself of this occasion to drop you few
lines. Onyesterday we had the candidates
for Congress with us-Messrs. Collins and
Clark opened the discussion in harrangue
Of two hours and a half. 1t was a prosy,
dull, pointless efTort-disappointing both
the expectations Of friends and foes.
Mr.. Collins followed in a stirring, en-
thusiastic speech which told wonderfully
upon the assembled crowd. In fact, every
body was completely astoniShed. Mr.. Col
Inns came an entire stranger among us-nc
one knowing what was in him, and o.
course they were very agreeably disappoin'
ted. Mr.. Collins speech has made hin
scores of voters in this county-arousinp
the members of his party to a sense Of theil
duty and inducing the outside vote to isl
into his support.
Rest assured, that Collins will run Clsrl
to the girth in this county if he does moi
carry the day.
bes peak, therefore for Collins all tina
attention and effort in his behalf 10 whicl
his merits so justly entitle him. You viii
find Mr.. Collins 10 be greatly the owe
match for Clark on the stump. Indeed
many of our friends here regard him as SUI
perior to Lindley. Let us then be up an,
doing. Yours truly. -.

Thieves About.

Of thefts of horses, money, and other valuables.-
The city thieves must be rusticating IN the rural
districts, and we advise all to be on the lookout.
Some very sharp pick-pockets are following
Lents Circus, and they relieved several of our cit
liens of their purses in the most approved style
last Monday. Their time of operating seems to be
when the ticket wagon is crowded.
A couple of thieves were followed to this place
from Randolph county, and apprehended, Mon
day. They were discovered loafing about the levee
and arrested. After their arrest, and near wher'
they were sitting, fifty dollar gold piece wa
found, under some castings, and identified by on
of the persons, as one he had lost.

The Bank.

Pursuant to notice, books for the sub
scription of One Hundred Thousand Dol
lars 10 the capital stock of the Exchange
Bank of St. Louis, were opened in this
place last Monday. Yesterday evening,
seyenty-eight thousand and some hundreds
Of dollars had been subscribed, by sixty-five
subscribers. Among the subscriptions, we
noticed two Of ten thousaHd dollars each;
one of nine thousand; two of four thousand;
one Of FIVE thousand, and the remainder in
smaller sums, running down to one hundred.
The number of subscribers, and the liberal
amount subscribed, shows that our capital
lists and business men have faith that the
investment will be paying one, and we
congratulate the community upon the fact,
that it will not be long, ere our Branch will
be in operation, and our business channels
be purged of the worthless foreign currency
that now fills them. The balance Of the
stock will no doubt be taken before the close
of the week.

a. Senator Polk spoke in Brunswick, last
Friday, to a small audience. He spoke warmly
of democracy, but touched the standard bearer
lightly. Mr.. Folks friends feel for him, when
they see him forced, by party ties: to take the
field for such man as Stewart. No man in the
State has q greater contempt for drunkenness, and
black-guardism, than Polk, but democracy, while
il "allocs'' all shades of difference, also require.
its leaders TO defend the same.
Mr.. Letcher, of Saline, replied TO Senator Polk
and we understood designed accompanying hin
to his other appointments.

To the Public.

Having observed correspondence be-
tween J. S. Thomson, Esq, of Glasgow,
merchant, and VIM. G. Boon, Esq, Cashier
Of the Fayette Branch Bank, Gin the Glas-
gov Times both of much experience in
the wants of, and legitimate use of funds to
carry on nealthful trade and commerce in
this section Of our State, the undersigned,
as voiunfeer, takes pleasure in giving his
humble name to the public, with some sug-
gestons, as he has Leen engaged for twenty
years as Director and Presiding Officer in
the Fayette Branch Bank, and is very con-
fident, that for a number Of years, the
Bank lid not, nor could not supply tbs
want of funds for legitimate trade and
commerce, the Capital Stock of said Bank
being much too small, only about 1920, 900.
The trade and commerce OF this part Of the
State, it may safely be said, has increased
at least ten fold, from the time that the Fay
cite Branch went into operation in 1887
and it is well known, that even in its early
stages, the laudable want of funds i'll COM
merce was not, nor could not be furnished
by this Branch, owing 10 its limited means
1t is not hyperbole to say, that if the
Fayette Branch Bank, and the contempla-
ted Glasgow Bank had Capital Stock Of
$500, 900 between them, and the paper is
sues permitted by the new charter, that
those Banks could not more than supply the
legitimate demands of commerce of a few
counties adjoining, and the above mention
ed funds could be used very advantageous
ly in commerce and proftably TO stockhold-
ers. Banks, wherever may be their loca-
ton, ought to well contemplate the amount
necessary for healthful trade and COM
merce, and never put in circulation more
funds than is required for such purposes
None at all for speculation. Banks, under
such circumstances would be laudable in
situations. and facilitate thrifty commerce,
and the paper of Banks always at par.
1t is fact, that the necessary informa-
ton cannot be had now, nor cannot be, UNI
til our legislature from statistical tables give
us certain data, whereby to make the cal
culations, by ascertaining the amount Of
funds necessary for trade and commerce OF
each county in the State, this done, the
| commerce of our State, as 70 the funds that
it takes TO carry on healthful trade, could
be as easily computed, as simple question
in the science of numerical arithn etc.

as Directors, could not cajole community

Gov. Ransom.

The Leavenworth Herald, in long eulogy on
Gov. Ransom, the candidate of the Nationals for
Congress, in Kansas Territory, says:--
"Indvdually, we doubt not that Gov. Ransom
would be glad to see Kansas admitted into the I'm
ion with Constitution prohibiting the institution
Of slavery; but at the same time he is the last mar
who would desire to see any Constitution forced
upon the people of this Territory against the will
OF those whose right tits TO decide upon the nature
of their own domestic Institutions"
Being freesoiler, "individually," is no draw
back in Kansas. The so-called Nationals of Mis-
souri, will be square on this platform, next summer

FRIEND GREEN:-Thinking you would like to
hear fr.m Cass, have concluded to drop you a
few lines, mas much as you have no correspond
ent in this county. Our wheat harvest is over, and
the yield is very small-most of the wheat having
froze out last winter. From what have seen
there will be but little more wheat saved than will
be required for seed this fall. Oats good, and
from all can learn there will be more than twice
the amount raised than was ever produced in the
county in any one year before-owing mostly to
the quantity sown. Corn looks well, and not
wthstanding we have had no rain for four weeks
it seems still to grow and retain healthy look
the chnch bug however has just commenced it
work Of destruction on 1t, and unless we have
rain soon, must injure il to considerable extent
but with one or two more good rains there will b'
a large crop of corn raised in Cass this season.
Our county Is improving very fast; we have on
of the finest farming districts in the State. In
few years more it will be classed with the frs
counties in the State.

yesterday. There was quite large turn out, and
from all ] saw and heard amongst the crowd, Ro J.
Inns is the man. He has made decided impress
ion, and the idea to be that the same faction
that sold the South to Kansas, are none too good
to play the same trick IN Missouri, and among the
slave holding portion of our county there is but
little difference of opinion on this point. Rollins
will, to certainty, get nine ienths of them. Not
withstanding all the efforts of Stewart and hi;
