That the people of the State and of the
neighboring States do not concur with you in
the estimate Of the responsibility of this Bank
is evidenced by the fact that our circulation has
been tho means by which large portion of
the crop has been brought to market and the
price Of cotton sustained. And in the City OF
Charleston, where our institution Is located-
where our credit, our resources and our opera
tions are known and understood-wc possess
the entire confidence of the people, and our de-
positors have increased about ten per cent.
since the date of suspension. We have, per-
haps, the largest deposit account III the city.
As to your individual opinions upon the subject
of the Bank and its management, We feel in
different; but you have given those opinions
an officia.character, and we have, therefore,
considered it our duty to the State which has
entrusted its funds and credit TO our custody,
in this brief manner to present statement OF
facts in Contrast with your repl esentatlons re-
Spectinc this institution. For near forty years
tie Bank has, from time to time, been assai!ed
with charges of insolvency, and its failure been
forctold but time has buried those successive
denunciations in oblivion. The institution still
survives the sinister prophecies, and with in
creased means and efficiency, has continued to
discharge its duty to the people and to the
State and We are confident will continue to do
so. though there may be found one who has dis
covered that cit has not shodow Of RESPONSE.

The interference and searching of American
vessels had attracted some attention in the
English Parliament.
Mr.. Lindsey asked the question whether it
was true that American vessels had been search
ed and detained by British cruisers-and if so,
he desired to know by what authority and un-
der whose instructions
Mr.. Fitzgerald replied that no official infor-
nation on the subject had been received. He
expressed the belief that the reports were much
exaggerated, and assured the House that Her
Maiesty's Government were anxious that all
unpleasant relations with the United States
should be avoided, and upon the first intma-
tion of complaint, strict order had been issued
to the British Steamers in the Gulf to observe
great caution in their movements.

A COLLISION BETWEEN JUDGE ELLIS AND Hon.
MR. McRAE.-GoLDsBoRo', N. c., June S.-Our
heretofore quiet and amiable candidates for the
Gubernatorial houors of North Carolina, had a
discussion at Beaufort yesterday, during which
both became excited, and INDUCED in language,
which finally came to blows. Judge Ellis hit
the first lick, to use school boy phrase, but
they were Sc perated before any material damage
had been inflicted by either.
They were at Eewburn this morning, and
their respective friends were using all honorable
means to settle the difficulty and reconcile the
parties.
Since putting the above in type we learn that
the affair has been amicably adjusted.

LEIPZIG, Muy 18th, 1858.
Can perhaps amuse you with further German cus.
toms and pocqrites7 ThcSpring is now bursting
forth in full glory and this is the timc to see German
life in its plcasantcst and most diversified phase s.
beautiful is the Spring here, that one feels nearer
heaven
In all German cities, the strictcst and utmost at.
tcnton is paid to the public grounds, and these in
general aro very extensive. The ancient City Of
Leipzig is divided into two parts tho Old City and
the Outer City. Extending entirely around the Old
sepnratng'i it from tho Outer is promenade Of great
width, or rather regularly Ibid out garden, planted
with horse chestnuts, beeches, lindens and many
towering trees not known in America, besides such
shrubs ns tho lilac, acnciu, snow ball &C., and MI
manner Of bulbous roots from tho lily to the blue
bottle. This walk goes up and down, winds in and
out and is watcred by the river Pleisse. Now and
then are monuments, now and then restaurants, now
and then artificial lakes. On one hand rise the quaint
old buildings of the original City most Of them T. s
and stories high, their roofs almost perpendicular
and covered with dormer windows. On the other
hand rise the modern edifces and elegant gardens Of
tho new City. Among tho monumcnts upon this
promenade is to Sebastian Bach, the great musi-
clan, and m other to Hahneman the originator Of
homeopathy. Then around the outer City stretches
grand old forest, called tho Valley of Roses and
this is the PRIDE glory md boast Of the Leipzig pco-
pie The University, which has 700 students, tho
Conscrvntorium of Music, tho great Fuirs and the
Valley of Roses tho four speciaities of Leipzig.
This wood is FIVE miles in length and from one to
two in breath. In parts it is perfectly wild in
others cultivated to the highest degree of art it s
trayerscd in every direction by broad grayeled roads
and narrow foot paths, watorOd tho whole longth by
the river Peisse, and dotted with summer hou-
scs, bridges and rustic arbors and benches In one
spot stands q summer house, from which open upon
all sides ten visas and thrO' these in tho distance
arc to be seen views Of the City and the adjacent vii
lagos. Foremost in these views are lofty pointed
spires and wind mills, with hugo revolving arms,
minding at the same time of the wants Of the
soul md Of the body. But the tapcring spires rise
high above NIL else, pointing to heaven, and seeming
to say to the hronging of men below, "the Life
is more than food and the Body more than raiment"
All, that is blessed spot! And as man stands upon
