ILLINOIS AND Iowa BANKS CosPAaxD.-We
have before US the ssconsolidstcd statement
OF the State Bank Of Iowa 7, dated December
Sd. The back IL now composed OF thirteen
branches. The charter Was passed March
Goth, 1858, and the institution went into op.
GRAFTON during The following summer and
fall. Hence it ;s little, if any. more than
year and n half old. How much coin it Inns
been able TO accumulate, and what amount
OF aeco mmodation it has afforded to the busi-
ness men OF Town, show favoraby when com
pared with what our banks DO for the com.
mcrce OF Illinois. We compile the following
table from the two reports, that for Iliuois
being dated IN the first Monday in July, the

y
A fs~ days since Forney wrote comma
nication from Washington to bis paper in
Philadelphia, designed to arouse the North to
. more lively sense Of the periis Of the coan-
Try. He alludss % she fact that for more
than year past the leading men of the South,
~ veil - the leading med Of tho Capital,
have been expecting and preparing for ssces-
sion that ia view Of that fact immense guam.
titles Of Government arms and ammunition
have been distributed at various points 10 the
South for the use OF their minute men. He
believes that II Is tho design Of the leaders to
push matters on 90 fast that before tho 4th
Of March arrives the secessionfsts will -
strong enough TO seixs upon WssAiaetpA'
city, in accordance with tho pdo1e dover
nor Wise, and hold on to il. 81
Mr.. Forncy. Who has evsry sae;lis1 Tor un-
derstanding the condition Of things, intimates
that the project has many friends besides old
10. Lane amongst the defeated politicians Of
the North.
The article closes ~ follows:
One OF the worst signs OF the times was
the speech Of the Hon. George E. Pugh, y.
Senator in Congress from Ohio. do not
speak OF this remedy, because an ready to
concsde much in order TO save the Union,
and il may be that his proposition-th al
tering OF tho Constitution so ss to extend the
Missouri Compromise line to the boundaries
OF California-may be the best in order to
save those States which have determined to
remain ia our national brotherhood. But
that Nnrthcrn man, = citizen Of the great
Northwest, which section it is the settled
purpose Of the Disunionists to paralysc and
destroy, should deem, it his duty 70 denounce
such patriot rs Andrew johnson, passes
my comprehension. His attack upon tho
Republican party was not only Ill judy I'd but
ill.timed. These men are not the enemies Of
the country. II they have triumphcd, they
have triumphsd through the divisions in the
Democratic party; they have triumphed be-
cause Of the conceptions OF this Administra
ton they have triumphed because the South
srn statesmen repeatedly declared that they
preferred Abraham Lincoln to Stephen A..
Douglas. Ia fact, Abraham Lincoln was
elected President not By the votes of kepub.
licaDs alone, but by the persistent and sue.
ccesfui efforts Of the Secessionists to destroy
the Democratic organisation. Iconfess, that
when heard his speech, aud saw how it in
eprei the men who were denouncing the
Union and trampling upon the Constitution,
10 the Senate Of the United States, / felt sick
At heart. Thus it is that We are being be-
tray ed; thus it is that We are being deprived
Of our champions! The President gone the
Cabinet gone! most OF the Southern lenders
gone the Offices Of the Federal Government
in the hands Of the oren enemies of the coun-
try and the Republican party itself appalled,
aud tiishcartened in the face of this groat
peril! see hut one mode OF rescue, and
that 10 to wake the people, 20 organize them,
and put arms into their hands. To delay il
