ExcrrEMENr IN rHs MorEY MARKEr-A sudden
flush of unanticipated excitement agtated the hold
ers Of Charlotte, NC, bank paper, on change and
elsewhere, yesterday The slight panic asthought
to have been the result only Of an unexpected de-
probation of funds on the bank Of Charlotte; sup
position which seemed to be both explained and
dispelled by the following from the Financial report
of the Baltimore Patriot: Some days since, at the
request Of Messrs Johnston Bros, we published
statement to the effect that they had protested the
Bank of Charlotte, N. c., for refusing to pay coin
on $28, 600 Of its notes, held by them To day we
have received from Messrs. Johnston Bros. the fol.
lowing note:
CIV ill you have the kindness to call attention to
this notice and state that at the time of the protest
the Bank was still in state of suspension, but has
since redeemed its obligations to us in coin and that
its standing and credit will compare favorably with
any other North. Carolina Banks"
This most agreeable exposition was not long the
master OF the doubt, however, for while holders of
the unsafe funds were becoming jubiant, intelligence
from most reliable source was received and rapid
ly disseminated through the city, that the bank of
Charlotte had now but $12 900 in specie to asset
liabilities to the amount of 5000, 900! The state
ment was received at Weldon, from we'll posted par.
| ties, land the above from the Baltimore exchange,
to throw omEousy forward a token in favor of the
latter unpleasant announcement. Still we would not
refrain from doubling the reports not altogether
official enough, and knowing the immense amount
OF Charlotte, together with other North Carolina
money, current in Petersburg. would not advise
q sacrifice by any means the part of those who
may have Charlotte funds-Peters6urg Express
We know but little of the condition of the Char
lotte or other North Carolina Banks, but We will
venture to assert that the Charlotte institution is
sound other institutions of the kind and its issues
good intrinsically those of the Virginia Banks
1t has been fashionable, we believe among certain
parties in Virginia to underrate currency; and
the truth is we shall always be more less depend
ent on Virginia. and subject to this injustice in
gard to our currency, while we continue to trade
with and through her, to the neglect of our own
ports. We are not complaining but giving utter
ance to we'll known facts. We are not opposed to
free trade. We believe, general rule, in buying
where we can buy cheapest, and in selling where
we can sell at the best prices. Petersburg and other
Virginia towns reap large profits from North Carolina
trade and it should be their interest to do justice
at least to the cure ncy of our State.
MEDICAL JOURNAL OF NORTH CARoL1NA.-We re-
ceived some weeks since the first number of this
work, but it mislaid, and from an oversight we
made notice of it in columns. We find how
ever, the following notice of it in the Newbern Ne,o
Era, which we copy, commenting the Journal at
the same time especially to the attention and sup
port of the medical profession:
"MEDIcAL JOURNAL OF NORTH CARoL1NA.-By the
favor of professional gentleman, who is subscri-
Der to this periodical we have before us it's first
number, which we hail with much pleasure. To
make review of its contents in a scientific point of
view, must acknowledge our inability; but on
perusing its editorials, the conclusion is forced upon
US that the work will be conducted with marked
ability. The igorous Salutatory of its Editor is
full guaranty that whatever he may lack in "expe-
rience" he, will undoubtedly compensate in the
| zeal" with which he devotes himself to his subject
The classic Address of Dr. j. G. Tul is certainly
feature in this number which should commend it to
all who take interest in the progress of Science
The establishment of the State Medical Society was
an event of much importance to the Profession; and
with this publication as means to facilitate the in
terchange of opinions among its members, we can
reason to doubt the elevation of the Society
to the highest rank of similar institutions in the
country. Having had some experience in the pub
l,cation of medical journals, We know something
about the advantages likely to accrue to the profess
sion from such work; and we sincerely hope that
its projectors will ere long find their reward in
subscription list that will enable them to make the
Journal in every respect worthy of the Medical Fra
ternity and the State. The mechanical execution is
not so good as it might be, Of which. however, the
Editor seems to be aware. By the way we heard
some time since that the journal was to be printed
in Now York, which trust is not the fact as we
feel confidence in asserting that it can be done
cheap and as we'll in our own State as elsewhere
1t has our best wishes for its success"
We hope the Standard will in future try to find
out the truth in regard to u.s. and not uhoesale mis-
represent us again.-Eliz. City Sentinel
Certainly, Mr.. Mann. To "wholesale misrepre.
sent you is indeed wicked thing. We know of
nothing more wicked than to destroy the Queens
English, as you do.
If We have wronged you, Sheriff, proce it, and
then will be very, uery sorry for it. But come,
Mr.. Sheriff, answer US this question: Would you
talk wholesale" to US in this way if we lived in
Pasquotank and could vote for Sheriff? Not bit
of it. In that it would be, walk in, gentle
men, ard take something. Glad to see you. Have
you voted? If not, I am the man for Sheriff."
By the way, does Sheriff Mann know any thing
of that monument proposed to be erected to Louis
D. Henry, of Edgecombe?
TIE DAILY PRoGREss.-We have received the first
number of this paper, published in Newbern by
John L. Pennington, Esq, Editor and Proprietor
We looked for a handsome and readable paper from
the hands of friend Pennington but take pleasure
in saying that the Daily Progress more than meets
