FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

= 1fessrs. Editors: We purpose in this
article to give to the public few sim
pie facts for their own benefit in re-
gard to the Banks and Banking in
stitutions of the South. These insti-
ttltions were, before the war, doing a
safe and furnishing business, but now
if wound up, could not pay more than
from twenty to thirty cents on the dol
lar. Their assets consist of Confede.
rate bonds worth the paper they are
printed ON, bank and other stocks
worth 20 to 80 cents, Virginia and
North Carolina funds worth Is or 20
cents), and individual paper, the greater
part of which is worthless, as 1t must
necessarily be, on accountof the heavy
losses sustained by individuals in the
late war; and even if, this Individual
paper were good, it is worth only from
is to 20 cents on the dollar, for these
banks cannot force individuals to pay
their notes i'm anything except Virginia
money or its equivalent. We have been
astonished to see that some of these in
sttutions profess to recommence bust
ness, and solicit public patronage. We
cannot understand upon what grounds
these institutions, having lost their en-
tire capital, and not able to pay IS cents
on the dollar to their deposftors, can
come before the public and ask them to
place their money in these banks, which
are plainly worthless. But do they
think that the people are blind, and
that they will be gulled with their eyes
open? "a
Our opinion is, that these banks are
bolstered up by some few men who
would very willingly have individuals
having notes coming due, purchase of
them their deposits at the rates of from
90 to 70 cents on the dollar, when, in re-
ality, they are worth only from 20 to 80
Again, is it right for these institutions
to deceive the public in this manner
Is it right, We ask? A CITIZEN.

BY the arrival ofthe Inman steamship
City Of Washington, we have European
Intelligence to the 18th of August
Nothing whatever had been heard of
the Great Eastern or her consorts, and
the public anxiety had of course con-
siderabIy increased. When this steamer
left Liverpool just fortnight had ex-
pired when the signals ceased to be re-
ceived through the cable. The Impress
ion was very general that the Great
Eastern must have met with an accident
to her machinery, although some be-
lievedt that she had gone on to Newfound~
land.
Calhoun--named Charles Gena--while
lying in the river Mersey outward bound
to New York, poisoned himself on the
morning of the l4th. The body was
taken ashore, and an inquest held upon
it, the verdict being temporary insanity.
Sir William Hooker, the celebrated
botanist and curator OF Kew Gardens, is

The cattle plague continued promi.
nent topic in the English journals. The
disease continued its ravages, and was
spreading in various parts of the kings
dom. 1t was reported that the disease
had been introduced by foreign cattle,
and evidence was adduced to show that
it was generated in England.
The English channel fleet, consisting
of about dozen vessels, including iron
clads and wooden frigates, arrived at
Cherbourg on the l4th instant, and was

Loss of the Brother Jonathan.

We have already briefly alluded to the
loss of the steamship Brother Jonathan
on the Pacific coast. She struck on a
sunken rock within ten miles of land,
and it would seem that the captain OF
the steamship was entirely ignorant of
the existence of such an obstruction.
The distance from the coast, we should
suppose, must have brought this rock
within the line of the coast survey, and
it becomes desirable to know whether il
was marked ON the charts, and, if so,
whether the government had taken the
precaution to place a buoy or light
there as a warning to navigators. There
must have been gross negligence some-
where, and it is proper that we should
know wherethe responsibility of it rests.
The names of over two hundred passen-
gers are published, most of whom were
lost-and some seventeen being reported
saved, most of whom belonged to the
crew of the vessel. Among the lost are
|Tngram, u. S. A., Captain Chaddock,
U. S. r. s., Lieutenant E. ID. Waite,
and Governor Henry, of Washington
Territory. Ha-t Ha ,..4e., f4a
The following dispatch contains the
latest advices received at San Francisco,
by telegraph, up to the time of the sail
ing of the steamer:
CRESCENT CITY, July 30.-The steam
er Brother Jonathan struck sunken
rock, off ST. Georges Point, eight or ten
miles west from here, at 100 p. M, to-
day. All on board were lost, except Is
adults and two children. A boat has
gone to the rescue, but there are no
hopes of savingm more. Two boats swamp
ed alongside of the ship, and three boats
were left on board.

having seen nothing of the wreck. All
give up all hope of saving more passen-
gers. officer Patterson reports that
brig. General Wright, when last seen
on board, had a life-preserver in his
hand

passengers by the Brother Jonathan,
entered the service of the United States
in 1922, and served honorably during

Governor A. Ct. Henry, recently APP

west, and had lights displayed in accord

west, and had lights displayed in accord
ance with the new regulations, while
Captain Brakeman states that the lights
OF the Sea Gull were according to the
Old regulations. As soon as the collision
occurred Captain b. sent his officers To
the various parts of the boat to ascertain
where she leaked, and, on finding 1t, put
the hands to work stuffing the hole
made by the Sea Gull, by which means
ne was enabled to keep her afioat. By
MS order the small boats of the steamer
We're manned and got ready for any
emergency. There was no panic among
| the passengers, who, being assured OF
safety, soon after retired to their berths
The Leary was then taken under her
own steam into Pautuxent river, the Sea
| Gull being hailed and requested to fol-
| low, which the latter steamer did,
though a half hour later the Leary an
| chored in twelve feet water. The pas
sengers, at 81 o'clock the next morning,
We're transferred TO the Sea Gull. Capt.
Brakeman states that it was with great
reluctance that Captain Fish took on
board the passengers, and that he posi-
lively refused to tow the Leary up to
this port. M
All the passengers, excepting four,
who went by rail, on reaching here went
on board the steamer James II. Brady,
Captain Lands, and were conveyed to
Norfolk and Richmond. The Leary
was lowed up by two tugs. The repairs
will cost about $1,000. Messrs. Jones 6s
Ashcroft will Immediately set large
force at work to repair the damages,
Mr.. Charles T. Morris doing the joiner
work, which will probably require ten
or twelve days to complete.
The colored chambermaid, Jane Hi
ner, who, as previously stated, had her
right thigh, right arm and two ribs
broken by being thrown into the fur
mace room at the time of the collision
was obliged to have the leg amputated
on Saturday, at her house, No. 90 For
rest street, near Orleans. The operation
was performed by DIR. H. r. P. Yeates
assisted by DIR. Samuel II. Powell. 1t is
not expected that she will recover, al
her injuries are great.
