inc Banks.

The Legislature, just before the adjournment.
passed an act which virtually authorizes the
banks to suspend specie payment until the Ist
of December next. There of course will be diff
ferences of opinion as to the wisdom of this
policy. The banks of the State are in an unu-
sually critical condition on account of the do
probation of their stocks, especially such as
are secured in great part or wholly by southern
stocks. The banks Of the State which have
already been discredited. represent clrcula-
ton Of nearly million and half The best
banks in the State had mostly withdrawn their
notes from circulation, and in the present CON
dition of the money market, would not put them
out again, because the bills would be immedi-
ately returned and specie demanded thereon
During the past month or two, the mass of bills
doubtful banks in the State; this state Of at
fairs would have continued but for the act au-
thoriziDg the suspension Of specie payments.
Iii believed by those who favor the policy
of specie payments that the better class of
banks in the State will now be induced to ex-
tend their circulation. At the same time the
bill holders will be equally safe, because it is
understood that the State Controller Will now
make calls upon the banks for additional secu-
rities-suficient to make up for the bank de-
precautions. The irresponsible banks which
fail to comply with the call Of the Controller,
will be wound up by that officer, and their Sc
curities sold for what they will bring in the
market The Controller of course refuses to
take any more southern stocks of any kind for
bank securities the new securities must be the
stocks of free States.

TO the Farmers and Grain Dealers of
the Northwest.
DO NOT FEED THE TRAITORS.


South Carolina, aided by all the traitors of
the Southern Confederacy, labored for months
to starye the noble Anderson and his brave
little garrison, and when their provisions were
Just exhaus ted, then the chiyalry opened their
batteries and attempted to murder them.
Now these numbering traitors are looking to the
great, loyal patriotic Northwest for bread for
themselves. And how do they propose to pay
for it Why, in debased or counterfeit coin
They commenced their damnabe work by rob-
bin the treasury of the United States, and now
they have stepped to the still baser work. of
counterfeiting or debasing the coin of the Uni
ted States. Out OF money and out Of credit
they have resOrted TO the despicable shift Of
using the stamps and dies at the New Orleans
Mint 70 manufacture counterfeit half dollars
or if not counterfeit far below their standard
value. If they had done this in the name OF
their bogus COntederacy it would not appear
so bad, but they steal the name and the stamp
of the United States to give currency TO their
base coin 1t is with this worthless stuff that
they propose to pay their soldiers and buy grain
We call upon the patriotic farmers and grain
dealers of the Northwest to refuse to sell bush
ell of grain 10 the traitors, or to any one who
will sell it to them, for if you sell to them you
aid the enemies oil Your country, and run the
risk of getting your pay i'll counterfeit money.
Europe and our Government will want all the
grain and provisions that our people have to
sell, and they able TO pay for it in good hon
| est money. Patriotism and pecuniary interest
| both demand that our grain and other provls-
ions shall not go South
The traitors are constantly talking about the
poor and starving condition of the people of the
North but thank God, we have abundance to
eat, and what money We make bears an honest
impress and standard value. Let the theving,
cCunterteting traitorous crew who have long
viliiied and abused us, and who are now in
arms against US, learn their dependence up
III us for their very existence. Let them eat
their cotton. Let not ono dollars worth of
provisions go Southwark. Ill State journal

ports all over the country that jeff Davis ha.

only $4,000 men liable to do military duty
1t is hardly a supposable case that about one
half of the male population will be brought into
