The Suspended Banks.

ton from Augusta Ga. stating that the
Banks Of the latter City would resume spe.
sic payment on the LIST June proximo, pro-
vided the Savannah and the South Carolina
Bnpks would resume on the same day. In
what way this proposition will be consider.
ed BY the private banks Of this State, or
whether they will consider it at all. We have
not learned. The respite given BY the
Legislature renders them perfectly indiifer-
ent and secure so far as regards the legal
consequences of Suspension, but to save
their credit abroad, or rather 10 regain the
confidence which they have lost abroad in
their permanency and solveney, they may
find it to their interest 10 resume EARLIER
than the period to which they are Epited
by the Legislature. 1t IL said that 4he bills
OF these suspended banks are already .at O

may with reason be supposed that they will
become of less value in proportion to the
time the banks refuse to pay specie. O,her
