The Banks of the Inferior.

The interior Banks of Pennsylvania have
been remitting for their notes, since the sus
pension. to banks and brokers in Philadel
pbia (; bat exchange on Baltimore, Pittsburp,
and 1enerahy throughout the country, rang,
ing from 1! to 10 per cent. Pennsylvania
currency has been renaitted from, all parts of
the country to Philadelphia to make exchange.
and thus very large and continually inereas-
ing amount sent home to banks in the Inter.
ior for redemption, while their income of par
funds has been most seriously diminished by
the suspension.
The process, BY rapidly eurtailing the
means of the banks, is leading to a consider
able reduction of their discounts, and Grip
ping the business of the country and the
city banks, which make no erchGnqes with
other points, are enabled to keep up their
regular business.
We are glad TO learn that in consequence
OF this state of things the interior banks
have agreed not to remit for their notes when
sent up from neutrality-suspicious. to keen
themselves in position for doing their appro.
pHiate current business, and keeping them.
selves stronger for resumption, when that
day comes round. They have agreed also t.
take each others notes on deposite and il
payment Of debts. We have no doubt these
decisions viii work fayorab!y for the business

ssio0 Of the forts bv the Federal Govern

session of the forts by the Federal Govern-
ment is necessity, if the efforts for q
peaceable settlement of the difficulties are
to be continued If the United States
forces were once driven out, war would be
an almost unavoidable consequence.
On the following day the authorities OF
South Carolina took possession of Castle
Pinckney and Fort Moultrie. The act of
capture appears in both instances to have
been accomplished without violence, The
works being practically abandoned blythe
United States, and though legally an aci of
war against the Federal Government, The
probability is that in the present disposi
ton Of the Administration no stringent
rule of judgment will be adopted, and
that the Star -Spangled Banner and the
Palmetto Flag will for some time at least
wave only diplomatic defiance from Forts
Sumter and Moultrie Whilst the Gov
Aernment retains possession of Fort Sum-
ter the occupancy of Fort Moultrie By the
Secessionists is practically of little cgnse-
quence. The impression is strengthening
that Col. Anderson's corp de main will
prove to be really a movement in behalf of
maintaining peace.
The Secretary of the Treasury on the
10th received despatch from Charleston,
stating that the revenue cutter in the port
of Charleston had been seized by the au-
thorities, and that the csptain, who is a ma
of Charleston, has resigned. This intelli-
gence was Immediately communicated to

The Navy Department also received
despatch from Lieut. James 2. Foster, CON-
manding the SLAYER Bolita, which was car
ried into Charleston, sating that his pris-
oner, the captain of tie SLAYER, had been
taken before State Judge by writ of ha-
beas corpus, that the Judge remanded the
prisoner to his custodyon the ground that
ne had no jurisdiction, and that on his way

Aiming the State.

The Harrisburg Telegraph calls on the
Legislature to arm this State, to meet the
threats Of Southern disunionists. So long
as Maryland remains true to the Union, we
do not think such proceeding absolutely
necessary; but whenever the tory senti-
ment obtains sufficient prominence in that
State to indicate disunion success, we shall
advocate the placing of arms in the hands
of every enrolled citizen in the State
the formation of companies in every dis
trict, with drills at least once week-to-
gether with such other measures as will
place Pennsylvania in an attitude of de-
fence worthy of her name. Indeed, should
Maryland unfortunately assume hostile
attitude, We know of no better mode for
preserving peace, than for the great States
of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio,
with their ten millions of inhabitants to
put into the field an army of citizen sol
dlers such as no other country has ever
seen. We trust however there will be no
occasion for any such manifestation, as, in
common with all others, We hope there is
patriotism enough in Maryland, Virginia,
kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, to
stay the madness Of South Carolina and
It's confederates in treason, and render mug
atory the unaccountable course of James
Buchanan's administration.

INFAMOUS ROBBERY The dwelling
house of Harrison Dufur, near the furnace,

$3.50 in American quarters (mostly new,)
and the balance in s2.50s, s5s and one $40
gold piece. The trunk was afterwards
found at the einder pile, minus the money.

He charged no department with com.
plicity, but he did say there were men
who had taken advantage OF the times

case Of the steamboat, Cataline-not
worth more than $4,000. She was
chartered for $4,000 per month, and
$4,000 was to be paid for her in the
