Its Organization Completed.
Our readers will notice by referring to our
advertising columns this morning, that a new
banking institution has been organized in this
city under the name of the Second National
Bank are as follows:
President-E s. Edgerton. o.. g,r.qrI
Vice President-John Nicols.
Cdshier-D. A. Monfort.
The following named gentlemen compose
the Board of Directors: - '
E. 8. Edgerton, j. H. Stewart,
C..H. Sc6urmeier, N. B. Harwood,
David Day, John Nicols,
]. Daley. F. R. Smith, Z. &
Peter Berkey, B. Presley,
/. g. George, Isaac Staples,
]. B. Braden.
The capital stock of the new Bank is $780,
600, with the privilege of increasing it to
100000. The stock is all subscribed for and
taken by about seventy-fve stockholders, rep
resenting all branches of trade and business
Among them are many of our Oldest, veal
thiest and most successful business men in the
city, representing, in the aggregate, wealth to
the amount of over 81, 000, 0O0-an item not to
be overlooked, when we recollect that under
the national banking law each stakeholder is
individually liable to double the amount of his
stock. '8'
The officers of the Bank are gentlemen well
and. favorably known throughout the entir
State, not only as able financiers, but men of
honor and of wealth. Mr.. Edgerton, the Pres
ident, turns over to the Bank remarkably
successful business as broker of over ten years
standing, thus enabling the Second National to
commence without delay, on prosperous and
large business. No man in the West enjoys a
wider or more deserved reputation as an able
financier than Mr.. Edgerton. He was one of
the very few bankers in the north that wealth
cred the revulsion of 1857, and the subsequent
blue times of '5s and 80, without a suspension.
John Nicols, Esq, the Vice President is the
senior partner of the well-known firm of Nicols,
Dean g. Co., iron merchants. As shrewd,
able and upright business man and financier,
his reputation in this community is very high.
The Cashier, Mr.. d. A. Monfort, enjoys the
confidence and esteem of all who know him.
We feel assured that under the management
of such experienced gentlemen, together with
the amount of business that must flow into the
new Bank from the popular manner in which
the stock has been taken, Git being emphatic
ally Peoples Bank, its success as banking
institution is certain.
ARRIVAL OF Cal. ULME.-Lieut. Colonel
C. 8. Uline, of the Second Regiment arrived
home Saturday, under orders to receive and
conduct to his regiment such new recruits as
are at the rendezvous awaiting transportation
to that regiment. He was warmly welcomed by
his friends here, though but few of them, COM
paratively, heard of his arrival.
The "brave Cal" looks happy and rosy with
health. He left his regiment at Savannah on
the 10th inst. The sanitary condition of the
Second was excellent. The men were all well,
with scarcely an exception. There are $50
men fit for duty. They had a fine time on the
raid, Cal. says. The boys lived like lords. The
messes set tables equal TO hotel, and they all
arrived at Savannah fat and hearty.
The eighty recruits sent to the Second Regi-
ment last fall, did not reach Chattanooga until
after Sherman had swung loose from Atlanta.
They were then distributed among other Regi-
ments.
Lieut.. Colonel Uline will remain in the city
for few days. While here, the sword which
was awarded to him by majority of 230O
votes over any competitor, at the Sanitary
Fair, will be presented to him. The firemen
and the "old time boys design giving Cal. a
a banquet on the occasion. 1t will be pleas
ant and festive reunion, and second edition of
the sword CONTEST memorable occasion,
never to be forgotten by the participants.
PROSPECTIVE CHANGE IN FASHIONS
The Faribault Republican, in noticing our item
that Bishop Wtipple had sent from Paris to
Martin of this city for 500 photographs of In
dams, &C., says: .---.-.-..- .
Perhaps Martins photographs may suggest
to the Partisan ladies some new fashion for
ladies' costumes. Some of the Partisan styles
are about as absurd and ridiculous as fashions
of the Indian bellies. -.---..........
That's very true. 1t is to be hoped the lead
ers of the fashions in Paris will adopt the CO.'S
tune Of the Dakota bellies. 1t is infinitely
more convenient, healthful, sensible and PIC
turesque, too, than the present female costume
imported from Paris, and adopted by American
women, who ought to have the national pride
to invent better one for themselves.
CRowRLL vs.. LAMBKRr.-The Probate
Judge case, that has occupied 10 much atten-
ton for few weeks past. has at last been de.
cided, in the granting by the Supreme Court,
of the writ of mandamus applied for by Crow
