THE BRANCH RANK

The first annual meeting OF the stock
holders of this Institution was held at
the Bank on Tuesday morning. There
was a very full attendance of the share
holders, besides number Of gentlemen,
not stockholders, who had been invited
to attend, to hear the reports and exam
inc the operations of the Bank since its
establishment, through brief and criti-
cal financial period. Their presence
was asked, for the purpose of dissemina-
ting information in regard to the true
condition of the Bank, beyond the bank
parlor, and to inspire confidence not only
in the safe and judicious management of
its own interests, but to show its ability
and disposition to promote the business
of the city, by the liberal course it had
pursued.
Samuel Orr, Esq, President of the old
Bank, was made Chairman of the meet.
ing, and Samuel Bayard acted as secre-
tary. Mr.. Rathbone, President of the
new Bank, r,ade detailed report of the
present condition Of the Bank, and also
read report from the Directors to the
stockholders, giving full history of the
establishment and the operations of the
Bank for the past seven months, and en-
bodying besides, some general views upon
The financial condition of the country.

-. The State Democratic Convention
will meet at Indianapolis tomorrow. The
indications are that the session will be an
exciting one, as many Douglas Democrats
will be there to insist on the passage of reso-
lutions deaouncing the Lecompton Convcn-
ton and clarifying the Little Giant of 1lli-
nois. OF course this will not be done. No
body expects it. The Federal office holders
and the administration, wire workers
will be too vigilant for the Free Thinkers,
and the stale old resolutions about the sim
mutable principles CT the glorious democracy"
and the wisdom and righteousness ofthe adj
ministratiou will be passed and the sover
cigns will adjourn. We are vastly mistaken
if these resolutions are not already written
and in the pocket of some of the Sachems at
the Capital.
This annual ''Love Feast" of the Demoera-
CIV, is on the whole beneficial convocation.
1t increases the revenue of our Railways,
assists the hotels ut Indianapolis and is u
copious harvest to the whisky shops and
restaurants of the "Railroad City" 1t gives
Democrats chance to spend their surplus
change, and fiatters a few of the back-woods
delegates into belief that they are shaping
the policy of the Democratic party of lndi
ana. Beyond this, it is a most senselcss and
ridiculous affair. Never before, Mt any of
these annual conventions has there been any
difficulty, or 'kicking against the traces"
The resolutions have been prepared aid vot-
ed upon, and the platform built by the scar
penters and joiners" Of the party, without let
or hindrance. But to -morrow a new ques-
ton will be before the Democracy, and if the
friends of Mr.. Douglas have any backbone
in their political bodies, they will raise a
breeze which will be felt all over the State.
The delegates from Posey county, with a
number of Evansvillians left on the train
yesterday evening. "A majority of the dele
gates from Vandcrburgh will go up to-
day.

OF We have had greater opportuni-
ties than usual the pas. two weeks to
learn the sentiments Of the Democracy
of Southern Indiana in relation to the
course Of the Administration on the Kan
sas difficulty. and the approval of the
opposition Of Douglas seems to be almost
unanimous by the members Of the party.
None but the Office holders and the ex-
pectants of Office hesitate to express the
most decided opinions on the subject
none but the wretched dependents of dis.
pensers Of Office desire to await devel-
opment Of the facts to make up an opin-
ion. The county conventions to nomi-
nate delegates to the State convention, in
Perry, Spencer and Warwick. have spo-
ken out boldly in approval of the course
of Senator Douglas; in this county the
Office holding clique were obliged to
yield to the force of public opinion and
the independent Young American spirit
Of the party, and pass resolution against
the Lecompton Convention swindle. Po-
sey and Gibson have not uttered their
verdict, but it is we'll known that the
feelings Of the people are unanimous in
favor of the Little Giant. The expec-
tants of Office will be forced to choose
between the favor of the people and the
Administration, for it is evident that both
cannot be retained. 1t may be safely
predicted that if the course of the Cabi.
net be not changed, it will not in sixty
days have one hundred supporters in the
Pocket. E.s.t

DAILY MAIL TO C.ssrLroS.-Judge Nib y

DAILY MAIL TO CANNELToN.-JudgeN Nib
lack has induced the Post Master General to
invite proposals for carrying daily mail
from this city to Cannelton, where it will cross
the river to Hawesville and connect with the
daily mail on that side of the river to Louis
VILE. We have urged the Importance of this
mail upon the attention Of our citizens for
more than year; and now that so import
ant an addition is likely to be made to the
population and business of the lower part of
Perry county, its necessity is greatly in
creased. The manner in which the present
mail contract for a tri-weckly mail on the
route, is executed, makes it a nuisance. The
mail is carried 4 part of the way on a wretch
ed old horse, and we presume, when it is
large, one half of it is left behind from the ina
bility of the old nag to carry it; for we find
papers and letters are often ten or twelve
mismanagoment and neglect on this line,
both by contractors and post masters, and il
| is quito time that il should be visited by
a special agent to look into the name,
the mails are handled. No other mai
sent from the post-oflice in this city
contains half so much matter, or is so impor-
tant as the mail to Rockport, and none 81
badly managed. a daily mail would bring
u change of contractors and reform among
the posi- masters on the route.
Judge Niblack, who is familiar from per
sonal knowledge with the wants ofthe peopl
on the route, has acted very promptly in tn
matter. The Post Master General has no
definitely determined to establish dali
mail, but has invited proposals for carrying
the mail tri-weekly and daily, and lie viii b
guided in his decision by the difference il
T the costs of transportation and the wants
the people. 1t is necessary to second Judg
Niblack's movements by petitions from tn
people on the route, toimpress upon the min
of the Post Master General the great want {
} daily mail. A petition is now in circula
ton for signatures in this city, and other
will be circulated at Newburg, Boonvill,
Roekport, Grandview, Troy and Cannelton

tai. The report, which was very able
one, and which we hope will be pub
lished in a pamphlet form, concluded
with recommendation for an increase
of the capital stock. This recommends
ton was adopted and an increase OF cap
ital will be made at an early day. The
affairs of the Bank were shown to be in
a most prosperous condition, and not
withstanding the heavy expenses at
tendant upon starting anew institution,
and Of the panic, which had paralyzed
in great measure all business, the Bank
has in seven months, earned net sur
plus, enough to make large semia
nual amount. st--.s -...
The results which its business exhibit
ed rather surprised those who have sup
posed, that during the financial storm
the Bank had had business enough to
take care ofherself 1t appears she had
fulfilled all her obligations to pay gold
promptly on all demands against her, but
had also kept up such line Of discounts
as TO make a large credit balance on the
interest and discount line. The follow
ing resolutions were unanimously adopt.
ed after the reading Of the report. - I. .
b Reso1red, That the report submitted by The
President is highly satisfactory, and that the
operations Of the Branch and the results o.
its business, as therein set forth, in time o
financial troubles, such as lately passec
through, prove fully the prudence Of the man
| agement, and establish the value of the Bank
to both Stockholders and public.
Resolred, That in the opinion of the Stock
holders present, the recommendation of TIL

accordance with the suggestions stated in tn
Presidents report.
Another resolution was passed tina
the report and statements be published

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS AT THE SouTH.-New
Orleans papers express fears that the failure
OF the planters to meet their usual annual
payments on the first of January will cause
very serious embarrassmcnts to all the mer-
chants in the'South, and particularly to fac
tors in the large markets. 1t is predicted
there will be greater financial pressure in
January throughout the cotton region, and
more failures than have vet occurred.

its business, as required by its charter.
