o Carolina Banks.
There is i'll the possession of the people of North
Carolina quite large amount, in the aggregate,
though small in individual cases. of the bills
or notes issued by the Banks of the State. We
presume that all the Banks are disposed to redeem
their notes at their counters for what they esteem
them to be actually worth We learn that the
Bank Of Cape Fear, at its late meeting resolved
to redeem its outstanding bills in green backs at
% cents in the dollar. We have good authority
for saying that this is their value, the extent of
the ability of the Bank to pay at present. Few
who are acquainted with the affairs of the Bank
believe that it will ever be able to do more We

the bills of n. c. Banks would do as well to pre-
sent the bills at the Banks possible, or,
if they prefer to risk it, they can soon deposit
them with the several Commissioners, who may
be appointed to settle the affairs, and receive in
the end the pro rata value of their claims.
