The Williamson Case.
Nothing further has transpred in relation
to the supposed poisoning case at William
ston Springs. Two persons only, died The
belief is becoming general that poison was
not administered. either accidentally or in
tontionally. The analyzotion of tho contents
of the stomach of one of the persons that died
has not yet been made. That must put con-
fcting opinions at rest.
SoUTn CAROLINA BANKING.-T New
Orleans Crescent, in copying from the Me,'-
cn'ythe summary of the last monthly state
mcnt of the South Carolina banks, makes
the following remarks:
"Ihe specie reserves are very low, though
the SS, ,OO0, 900 of exchange is probably CON
sidered as an equivalent. According to
the banking law of Louisiana, of that part
which applies to our old banks, the banks
of South Carolina ought to have in vault
S4,43S, 900 in coin instead of So, 2,G72, ,O79.
Assuming that the only immediate cash
liabilities comprise circulation, deposits and
amount due banks, the suspended debt
Cover 81, ,4OO, ,OOO) is very large, being 10
per cent. on the amount of the capital
Zeal estate Cover threc.quartcrs of amillion)
is another large item of dead weight
However, as there is no prospect of an i'm
mediate financial or commercial excitement,
and being supported by King Cotton, the
South Carolina banks can pass but VIC
prefer to see all southern banks in posi-
ton of unequivocal strength"

| am now engaged in the construction
OF house to carry on and complete my
great design; the air ship-and hope, by
the spring of 1860, to have my fuyorite

fectcd. BY this invention expect to nav

velocity. The car will be twelve feet long
and four and half feet in it's equatorial
diameter, and of true pointed cllipsc;
and will be elevated, propelled and direct
cd by the force of the electric engine,
without hydrogen gas, steam, fans, or rud-
dcrs. L confidently expect to finish my
experiments during the oming winter; and
next summer, if successful, will make a
voyageto San Francisco, breakfasting here,
dining there, and returning the same day
for supper, making the entire trip in about
II hours Such is the kind of motive

AS to its feasibility, | will leave the world
to judge for itself when this statement
shall have been practically demonstrated. ="
NOBLE SENTIMENTAL true heart has
given expression to its generous nature in
the following beautiful sentiment:
Never desert friend when enemies
gather round him-whcn sickness falls on
the hcart-whcn the world is dark and
cheerless is the time to try a true friend. 49,
They who turn from scene of distress be-
tray their hypocrisy, and prove that inter
est moves them. If you have a friend who
loves you and studies your interest and
happiness be sure to sustain him in adyer-
sity. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated and that his love is rot
thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare !;
but it exists in the heart. Who has lot
seen and felt its powers? They deny it's
worth who never loved friend or labored
to make friend happy.
