THEs BASK.-We regret to learn, as we
do from the Mississippian Of the 10th, that
the Bank bill alluded to in article in an
other column from that paper, had not at
that date passed the Senate. We hope, how
ever, that it will before the Legislature adj
journs. 1t would be a measure of great
relief to our people, and we cannot see why
the Senate should be higgling over it. We
presume, however, that it is the old preju-
dice against banks on the part of democrats,
that has afflicted them for 10 these many
years, that has scotched the bill in the Senate.
1t is to be hoped that this chronic afiiction
will give way before enlightened judg-
rnent, and that this measure of relief to a
distressed people will pass, and we may
speedily begin to reap its beaeits-for, really,
aour sufferings now is intolerable."

From England.

1t will be seen by the telegraphic accounts
that the news from England is of the most
cheering character. It seems that the 'Brit-
ish Lion" is fully aroused by the Insult Of
fered to his flag in the capture of our Com
missioners, Messrs. Mason and Slidell, on
board an English mail steamer, and that an
apology and most ample reparation viii be-
or perhaps has already been-demanded by
that Government, as well as the immediate
release of the Commissioners. There seems
to be no question of the reliability of the
news, and we sincerely hope it is true If it
should prove to be true, q Old Abe" will have
to make the amegde, or have the whole Eng
lish feet down upon his navy in short order
All we fear is the eonsummate craftiness and
cowardice of his Premier-Seward He had
rather the American Eagle should quail be-
fore the British Lion, and 1y from the dan
ger that threatens him from that quarter,
than to see the blockade raised and give up
the hope of humbling and finally subjugat-
ing the South. The Federal Government
cannot afford to have two wars upon its
hands at the same time. The war at home is
as much as it can manage.
What we fear, then, is diplomacy. Seward,
we apprehend, will be Instructed to surrender
the prisoners, make the apology, and get out
of the scrape the best way he can. "Pru-
dence is the better part of yalor."
Should Lincoln, however, conclude to re-
sist the demand of England, war will imme-
diately ensue, and the blockade viii be raised
in twenty days.
We shall soon see whether or not Britain
MIA rules the waves"

4 system of Banks.

The House of Representatives. yester-
day, passed. by vote of twenty mao
lty, the Bank bill introduced by Hon. E.
z. Jones, Of Sunflower county The bill
Is now on lis passage through the Senate.
which body. We have no doubt, will also
agree TO il by a handsome majority.
Great credit is due Mr. jones for the
ability With which he has prepared. and
the zeal with " hich he has advocated this
measure. 1t is finished specimen of
financial architecture, and has the sane
ton Of the most sagacioas and far-seeing
of our 6nanciers. Such measure is a
necessity of the times-Iemsnded BY
people who are being overwhelmed with
shinplaster circulation embracing every
variety of issue. from an omnibus ticket
to a twenty FIVE cent bill from Richmond
and The Carolinas The bill is most elab-
orate-going minutely into details, and
carefully and strongly guarded in all ITS
provisions. So cautious, indeed. are its
operations, so restricted and limited its
power for fraud or speculation, that the
creatures of its establishment can be
hardly denominated as banks.
Mr.. Jones seems to have carefully and
with great sagacity studied the best
features of the free banking system SO
successfully conducted 10 Louisiana and
skillfully Incorporated into his bill all
the elements of security contained in
them adding, too. such provisions as
mature judgment, enlig htened By diligent
research in The laws of finance, approved
and endorse1 No bank ever vet estab-
lished was built upon a foundation more
secure than that proposed in this bill.
and the prejudice must be rooted and
grounded-proof against reason and ar
gument-w which will not yield It's sanction
to so eminently wise, safe and necessary
measure. The basis upon which bills
are to be issued is impregnable There
are characters of deposit, gold and silver.
Confederate notes and cotton. upon which
the bank is entitled to issue dollar for
dollar, and no more. The Confederate
bonds are safe basis, else are our hopes
vain. and all We have of little value.
! Cotton is to be rated at twenty-five dol
( lars per bale. so that in reality bills is
sued upon cotton will represent bat half
the value of the security offered for their
redemption !; for every planter and broker
expects cotton to command fifty dollars
per bale when the blockade is raised
and il can be converted into money
The bill has been carefully discussed, and
every clause critically analysed by the
best minds in the country, and all agree
in believing that its passage would be of
great benefit to tie people. 1t is fact
that the credit of our citizens is better
than the credit of our State and bank
notes known to be issued upon so secure
a basis will pass as current out of the
Stale as in it, and be a sue means of
relief UissisSppian.

Indications q an odoqnce from Boaoling
GreeH.-The Bowling Green correspon-
dent of the Nashville Banner, writing on
the I3.h, says;
Since my last. indications of an adj
vance movement, with a view of meeting
the enemy in strong force, have material
ly increased. Large quantities of grain
and forage are being gathered, and in
quantities more than is necessary for
immediate use. Much Of this, too. is
being procured at points above ibis place.
Additional forces are being prepared to
press forward. and various cheering indi-
cations prevail. Last MI ht we were
cheered by the arrival of fresh troops.
who had not before been in this theatre
of operations. Seven or eight other reg
iments are looked for in a few days.
Thus, it would seem that our forces are
to be swelled to the magnitude of an inn
mense army. The concentration of troops,
and the sending forward of large bodies,
are of deep significance. The general
impression grows stronger that a general
engagement cannot be long deferred.
You need not be surprised to hear of
this before the commencement of the new
year.
