FARMERS BANK OF ELIZABETH CITY,
Last week we published an extract from
the Greensborough correspondence of the
Petersburg Express, stating that S6O'OOo
belonging to the above Bank, had been
found concealed in a safe owned by Mr.
Griffin. former Cashier of the Bank. The
Elizabeth City Sentinel says it is author
lied by the officers of the Bank to say that
the report is false, and originated in the
simple fact that Mr. Griffin. in the presence
of the Cashier of the Bank, opened private
safe in the Bank, where he used to keep his
valuable papers, and found therein pack
ace of Blank Bank Bills, to the amount ct
S6O. OOO,-not filled up, and of course not
money. The finding of the 100000 in
blanks, however, fills up, within few dol
lars. the difference in the number of bills
issued and the number stricken OF from
the plates. 1t was feared they had been
SIGNED and issued, and no entry made OF
them. We take the above statement from
the Petersburg Express.
We learn from the Salem Press that the
Farmers Bank of Elizabeth City is making
arrangements to wind up. 1t has been as
certained that all the liabilities of the Bank
will be paid off, and the Stockholders Will
receive seventy cents on the dollar. This
estimate is made, allowing a loss of S6O,OOC
for bad debts. The bill holders are said
TO be in no danger of any loss.

LATE FROM UTAH

ST. LOUIS. March 12.-The Council
Bluffs Bugle. of the Sd. instant says that
Mr. Wingate has arrived froaa Salt Lake.
which place he left on the 25ih of January.
He reports that there was no snow in Salt
Lake Valley. hut little in the Mountains.
He came by route known only to the Nor
mons. and by which h"rsemen in single file
can pass by the army undiscovered. The
Mormons were manufacturing small can
non, with percussion locks. telescope
sights, and carrying two pound balls with
as much certainty as u cGinmon ritie.-
They were also making 500 REVIEWERS per
week, and coarse powder for mining pur-
poses. A Skirmi>h had occurred between
the Mormons aud picket guard of the
army. Two of tl:s- former and four of the
latter reported killed.

NEWSPAPER HoNEsTY.-The editors of
the Rochester New York; Democrat. state
that during the twenty years that that pa
per has been published, there has accumo-
lated an Indebtedness on its books in sub
scriptions of $4,000.
This sum is, in itself, sufficient fortune
for any reasonable man. And the state
ment shows how little honesty is considered
necessary by men in their intercourse
with newspaper proprietors-as though to
cheat a printer were not as great crime
as to cheat a shoemaker, or Il grocer, or a
haberdasher.
THIS Office has some thirty thousand del
lars owing to it-and owing. too, mainly
by men whs can pay what they owe without
missing it. If one desires t" know who
are honest men of State or city. let him
get a peep at its newspaper accounts.-Mo-
bile Tribune.

We have no special objection to the peliti-
cal death of Senator Douglas, but we must
confess that we cannot see that he ought
to be denounced for opposing this scheme
of the Democratic Senators. Why should
the south work itsefinto a fury to hasten the
admission of Abolition States And why
should Mr. Douglas be denounced for
wishing to prevent or delay such admission!
1t seems 10 us that one such State at time
is quite enough.-FayetteUille Observer.
Kansas ought to be admitted because she
has applied for admission in the regular
way, and the fact that she is to be an aboh-
ton State does not justify opposition on
the part of southern men, any more than
the admission of State with slavery would
Justify the opposition of northern men.
But the principle involved in the question
is what southern men contend for: shall
States be admitted into the Union when
their Constitutions recognize slavery inns
is the only question of vital interest to the
Suuth involved in the Kansas imhroglio.
To re!inquish this right is t" degrade the
Snuth;-to ignore this principle is to dis
solve the Union. By admitting Kansas, a
vexatious question will thus be removed
from the halls of Congress. We have never
denounced Senator Douglas but believe We
would not have been far from right if we
had done SO, considering his present posi-
ton and factious opposition to Administra-
ton measures, which place him, for all
practical purposes, in the ranks Of the enc
mics of the South.

&C we said last week, there is not the least
availability that the disease will break out

Of proper measures on the part of our Com
,nissioners We do not see how the disease
could spread in the town; and We learn that
tho town authorities had intended to take
rrompt action if any new case had occur
red. is natural for people to become
alarmed and afraid 10 visit town where
the disease is supposed to exist, but in nine
cases in ten the alarm is without cause.
From the travelling facilities through this
town it may be expected that case will
occur occasionally; but such does not en-
DANGER the community when proper steps
are taken to remove it. The reports that
have been circulated through the country
within the last week are every one false, ex-

ease it would have shown itself before now,

70 He is bad man that can't do RICH

70 He is bad man that can't do right
sometimes. Henry Winter Davis, the
member of Congress from Baltimore, gem
orally does wrong; but he did right the other
day when he made speech in the House
of Representatives defending the action of
the Naval Retiring Board. The action of
that Board may have borne hard on some,
but the good it did overbalanced the evil.
For many years the Navy was cloggrd with
drones and old fngies. either unfit for SER
vice or too lazy to work.
The feeling against the action of that
Board has been gotten up by the dropped
officers themselves, or by their relatives or
particular friends. 1t is natural for those
to vince whom the shoe pinches, therefore
we are not surprised at the anathemas hurl-
ed against the Naval Retiring Board.
The Army needs purging in the same
way; and were it not for the fact that the
officers of the Army and Navy have too
much influence with members of Congress,
we might hope TO see something done to
relieve the other branch of the service OF
some of its rubbish.

FROM KANSAS.

ST LOUIS, March 9.-The Republican
contains information from Kansas, that an
attempt had been made to abduct the Judges
elected ut the Delaware Crossing. to pre-
vent their giving evidence. One man was
killed. The clerks of the Shawnee precinct
are preparing a statement under oath. that
they gave testimony before the investigat-
ing Committee. under threats of death.
A letter fr~m Fort Scott says that place
was taken by Lanes men, who were rob
bing the stores and stealing horses. No
lives were lost.

CoHGREss-There has been but little
business transacted in either House since
the commencement of the present session.
Under the appropriate head we give a
sketch of such proceedings as take place
from week to week 1t is pretty certain
that the Senate will soon pass bill adj
hitting Kansas under the Lecompton con-
sttution, and it is considered equally GER
tain that the House will do the same. Thus
it is hoped that the country will get clear
of this troublesome question.
A proposition to increase the Army has
been under discussion. The northern mem
bers are opposed to an increase of the stand
ing army for fear that the President may use
it to make the free-soil rascals in the Ter
ritories behave themselves, while the south
ern members oppose it under the apprehen'
sion that it will be employed in subJugat-
ing the South at some future time.
The War Department recommended an
increase in order to employ more effective
force against the Mormons.
