Minnesota Banks.

The Mortified (Min.) Journal in
forms lis that bank is to be started
in that place the present month. The
Journal says:
MANY will undoubtedly look with
frightening eyes to such consumma-
ton and we shall all feel materially
relieved when money again becomes
plenty. The establishment of bank
at this point will have tendency to
increase the circulating medium and
relieve the necessities of the people,
and revive business of all kinds. When
the bank gets here and then"
There is also to be a bank at Aus
tin, Mower Co. Mr.. Pritchard, the
President, writes that business will
commence as soon as the Cashier can
get his safe across the country. We
fear, however, from the following, that
Mr.. p. has laid the foundation of Sc
RIGS of troubles between himself and
the faircr portion of the Austin popu-
lation. We copy from the Mirror:
"Thc President incloscs one dol
lar note Of the new Bank, in charge
to us to present to the 'prcttiCst lady
in Austin = We trust this arrange
ment will not kick up such muss as
did the famous golden apple which
Discordia threw among the attendants
! of Pclius' and Thctis' nuptials, with
the inscription, Let the faircst take
me'-thercby causing immense jcal-
ousy in the hearts of the clamoring
beauties, and causing finally the ruin
of Troy. Nevertheless, the first bill
of the first bank in Austin, is a prize
worth striving for, and we expect a
little generous emulation among the
fair ones in consequence ! The bill is
at this office, subject to inspection.
"Thc State Bank of Austin is not a
Shinplastcr institution. Ohio and
New York State Stocks form the basis
of its operations, and will place its
notes at once high in the public cred
it. We welcome its advent among
us, with all good wishes for the sue
cess and prosperity Of its capable and
efficient officers"
The La Crosse County Bank has is
sued a circular announcing that the
currency of the following named banks
in Minnesota will be received by it
on the same terms as the notes of Wis
consin and Illinois banks, viz Bank
St. Paul, st. Paul ; Rochester, Roch-
ester Bank Of Owatonna, Owatonna

The Dcs Moines Citizen says that
Lieut.. Governor Favile declines re-
nomination to the position he now
holds. How the Citizen came by the
information, or what authority that
journal has for making the statement,
we know not. 1t will be sufficiently
in time for the people to act upon the
matter when Lieut.. Governor Faville
shall have announced his dcclination
over his own signature. Office hun
tcrs, and especially those in the south
ern part of the State, had better wait
Il while. If Gov. Lowe is to receive
a denomination, as is now the general
expectation, and Mr.. Favillc should
decline to run again, it will be found
that Northern Iowa, (and this means
neither Dubuque nor Grinncll,) will
claim the privilege of presenting a
candidate to succeed Mr.. Faville. Be
patient, gentlemen.
