Quarantine buildings at Staten Island were fred by
an incendiary mob last night, and burnt There was

the fine brick dwelling OF Dr. Bisse The furniture had

Bissels. Dr. B. refused to move sing gle article No
attempt was made to stop the flames
Soon after midnight the Female Hospital was set on
fire and totally consumed. 1t contained IS patients,
who previously removed and placed on grass plat
near by where they remained throughout the night ex-
posed to the showers of sparks which came from the
burning buildings Three Of the sick females died in the
open air owing it is supposed to the heat and exposure
to which they were subjected.

Ranlx of Charlotte. N. C.

The Western Democrat. published in Charlotte came to
having been made there touching the insolvency of the in
sttuon If the reports the Bank be untrue the
Board of Directors should Immediately publish statement
of its condition This is duty they the public Its
representing thousands of dollars have been crcua
ted freev in this Community and will continue to do so,
our citizens can be assured that the Bank doing reliable
legitimate business Up to Tuesday not the shadow OF
suspicion of urked in the minds of our
citizens regarding the soundness of the Bank and no
passed current transactions OF bargain and sae IL
has not been bankabe in this city for some time past nor
say go further and add that the issues of
great many Virginia Banks are not received on deposte
or in payment any obligation at any Bank in Petersburg
This should not be but it is nevertheless true many of
merchants know much to their annoyance and dcom-
fort.
We find the above in the Petersburg, Va, Express
of the I'd instant The reports first from the fact Of
broker from Baltimore having presented large amount
of the bills of the bank for redemption prior TO the
sumption Of specie payments which notes not re-
deemed and were therefore, protested according to law
The following card will explain the matter:
BANK OF CHARLOTTE, N. C.
BALTIMORE, August 26, 1858
To the Editor of the Neeo York Herald:
the effect that had protested the Bank of Charlotte
c. for refusing to pay coin on of its notes held
by Will you be kind enough to call attention to this
ce that the Bank has since redeemed its obga
coin, and that its credit and standing compare
avoraby with any other North Carolina bank At the time
of protest the bank still SUSPENSION and in accord
with provision of its charter protested its notes
and received certificate of deposit.
JOHNSTON BROTHERS Il co.
1t will thus be seen that the Bank Of Charlotte was
no more nsovent than nearly every Bank in the Union
was few months since There is no Bank in North
Carolina about whose sovency any question has ever
been raised but one small one-the Farmers Bank al
Elizabeth City.
1t would further appear however, that this card has
not suced to still the excitement existing The Erpres
says that subsequent to the publication of the Messrs
Johnston intelligence from most reliable source, was
received and rapidly disseminated through the City that
the Bank of Charlotte had now but $4,000 in specie
to meet liabilities of $2OO,OOO." The Erpress of the
lst adds, that a the statement received al
Weldon from well posted parties" This further rumoul
would appear to be that to which reference is made by
the Express of the I'd. OF all this we know nothing
but call the attention of Charlotte contemporaries
to it, as the effects of the rumor are, and must
be, injurious not only to the Bank of Charlotte, but
to all the other monetary institutions of the State For
ourselves we feel the utmost confidence in the sovency
of the Bank.

Parson Brownlow's Slavery Discussion PhiladeI-
phia.

Parson Brownlow has left Knoxville for Philadelphia
where he is to encounter the Rev. A. Pyme, of New
York. in discussion of the question, whether Amer
can slavery ought to be perpetuated We heard
of Mr. Pyrne until his acceptance of the Parsons rdc
ulous challenge. We know nothing of his calbre but
if he holds his with the fighting Tennessee Parson
he will have to come down to rough work.
1t appears that the debatants are both self constu
ted champions and an admission fee is to be charged
and report of the controversy is to be published and
sold for their mutual benefit the whole affair looks us
more like money speculation than disinterested effort
to enlghten the public mind. Even if the discussion
undertaken for the latter purpose, do not con-
ceive that any good can come of it. Uttering argu
ments in defence Of slavery before such audiences
will be attracted by this discussion, in Philadelphia is
like casting pearl before swine" There WILL however
be very little waste in pearls on the part of Parso

The NIobocracy In Power.

Some fifty years ago, the quarantine station for the
City of New York was fixed Staten Island at dis
tance of about seven miles from the battery Then the
grounds were really secluded and apart from the neces
sary contact of population. The quarantine grounds oc
cuped by the State buildings, hospitals, ETC., have not
since been extended, but the owners of lands In the
neighbourhood have cut them up into villa lots, specu
lated up to the very walls of the quarantine made their
improvements with full knowledge of the existence OF
the establishment which had been placed there during
the early part of the century The quarantine was at
least no intruder However, the progress of population
in the City and upon Staten and Long Islands, with the
increasing intercourse drew attention to the location Of
the quarantine grounds and caused agitation to COM
mence for its removal about ten years ago. The Legi
lature acceded to the request of the Staten Islanders
A bill was passed for the removal of quarantine to
Sandy Hook and the New Jersey authorities
applied to for ccsson Of the sand bar But the intu-
ence of New York shippers successfully exered to
prevent the Jersey Legislature from making the cession
Then Seguine's Point was selected site for Summer
and Fall, bought and buildings erected, which were
promptly burned down by mob, and thus every effort
at removal frustrated.
Last week the people of the vicinity aud Of the village
OF Stapeton which has arisen around the quar-
antine grounds and hospitals went to work and burned
all the buildings an" their contents turning the sick in
mates out into the rain and the sun to die from expo

R5y@ It would appear that conflict OF jurisdiction
was threatened a Charleston, arising out OF the landing
of the negroes from the SLAYER Echo at Castle Pinkney
near Charleston Mr. j. 3. Whaley, Attorney for the
Sheriff of Chareston having advised that unctonary
that said negroes under the provisions OF the State
law of 1885 guarding against the unlawful bringing Of free
negroes into the State The Sheriff. Col Carew, there
fore made demand upon the Marshall for these negroes
which demand was rot acceded TO- for the reasonfrst
that they were not uuufy brought into the State. if
brought at ALL but in literal compliance with act of
Congress Further Castle Pinkney where the negroes
were landed is United States Territory the jurisdiction
over which has been ceded by the State. The acting
Attorney General Of the Stale concurred i'll opinion
with Mr. Conner the U. S. District Attorney holding
that the Sheriff State officer had no right to seize
the negroes Finally, however, they were removed to
Fort Sumpter farther from the City. The thing was
in our opinion rather obectess, the law appears to
be plain. For obvious reasons, confess that we
should prefer seeing captured slaves sent to North
ern ports It would afford them chance to see the
wild African in his prime, and perhaps would be desira
BILE to have few cagoes turned loose in Boston or Pha
dephia little additional crime would not be noticed in
New York. But there other considerations involv-
ed, we'll set forth few days ago, by
pondent of one of the Charleston papers Every slave
in the City is agog with the They hear that a
vessel has been taken up for having slaves aboard They
see that wild negroes are housed in United States
Fort and they also the white men, the of the

for their lives Unable to grasp the whole state of the
case from the point of view occupied by persons fully
acquainted with all its bearings they viii only conclude
that higher power regards slavery crime and
Furnishes it with death They will be the ready
to listen to the tales of abolition emissaries who tell them
of such things for the purpose of awakening discomfort
