Our neighbor desires to know if we are +" for ad
mtting Kansas at once regardless of the amount of
her population" or for waiting until her population
amounts to $4,000. We are for waiting neighbor
Syme. We are in no hurry to admit non savehold-
ing States. What do gou think of it9
We think it probable that before the close of the
next session of Congress Kansas will have the re-
quisite population. The recent vote upon the Con-
terence Bill shows that her population is already
nearly up to the limit required. We were for her
admission with the Lecompton-a slaveholding-
Constitution ; and you said not 10 admit her with
that Constitution would be an unparalleled outrage;
and yet you took the rejection of Lecompton very
quietly, and appeared indeed to be somewhat pleased
with it. How do you explain that neighbour
EXCITEMENT THE MONEY MARKET-A sudden
flush of unanticipated excitement agitated the hold
ers OF Charlotte, N. C., bank paper, on Change and
elsewhere, yesterday. The slight panic was thought
to have been the result only of unexpected de-
probation OF funds on the bank of Charlotte; sup
position which seemed to be both explained and
dispeled 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 $2e, 600 Of its notes, held by them To day we
have received from Messrs. Johnston Bros the fol-
lowing note:
"Will you have the kindness to call attention to
this notice and state that at the time of the protest
the Bank still in state of suspension, but has
since redeemed its obligations in coin and that
its standing and credit will compare favorably with
any other North Carolina Banks"
This most agreeable exposition not long the
master Of the doubt however, for while holders of
the unsafe funds were becoming jubi!an intelligence
from most reliable source was received and rapid
y disseminated through the city, that the bank of
Charlotte had now but $l2, 600 in specie to asset
liabilities to the amount of 5000 900! The state
ment was received at Weldon, from well posted par.
ties and the above from the Baltimore exchange,
instead of sustaining its assumption seems rather
to throw ominousy forward token in favor of the
latter unpleasant announcement. Still We would not
refrain from doubling the reports not altogether

Of Charlotte, together with other North Carolina
| money, current in Petersburg, we would not advise

may have Charlotte funds-Peters6urg Express.
We know but little of the condition of the Char
lotte other North Carolina Banks, but will
venture to assert that the Charlotte institution is
