Bank Notes.

We observe that the Marine Bank
OF Georgia, located at Savannah,
gives notice that it is prepared to re-
deem its outstanding circulation, and
desires that the holders Of its notes
will register the same, i'll order that
the amount necessary for their re-
demption may be ascertaincd. This
registration may be made in the alb
sence Of Il presentation Of the notes.
All that is necessary OF desired, at
the time of registration, is the name
of the holder, with the amount of
notes in his possession.
We do not know how many of the
banks Of this State are solvent, in
whole OF in part; but we think this
mode OF registry would be highly
desirable, by both the banks and the
holders of notes. The banks would
then definitely ascertain their out
standing obligations, which no doubt
are considerably less than their circu-
lation, many bills having been proba-
bly, destroyed or stolen; and the
holders of notes would know more
accurately the solvency of these in
stitutions, and arrive at a more cor
rect estimate of what their notes are
worth. Something of this kind we
conceive to be absolutely necessary
to fair and proper adjustment of
the claims of bill-holders; for as
even now these bills are quoted at
from twenty to fifty cents Oh the dol
lar, according to the supposed sol
vency of the banks respectively, there
is no doubt but that the buyers ex-
pect to realize profit on their pur-
chases, and that the banks will be
called on to redeem their outstand-
ing issues to the extent Of their abili-
ties.

AN HONEST PASTOR. Rich
mond Whig states that Northern
clergyman, who has been travelling in
the South, writes to friend from
Georgia, in which he says:
''Thc policy of denying representa-
tion Furnishes whole masses of South
crn people who neither need nor de-
serve punishment-they have already
suffered enough. All the bitterne ess
and disloyalty that may exist can be
more perfectly overcome by mag
nanimity than by severity. AS regards
the blacks, this denial of representa-
tion will surely secure their utter
misery if not their extirpation. The
colored people are unprepared for
the ballot. They could only use it as
q child would fire-arms-to their own
injury; and an attempt to exercise the
right of suffrage on their part would
surely cause war of races. No true
friend of the negro would wish him
to vote at present. That they may
make an intelligent use of their free
dom, let them be educated. This is
the only hopeful work that the nation
can engage in for their benefit. Any
interference with the interior con-
Germs OF the States will be disastrous.
1t Is true, that the Government runs
some risk in allowing the South to
participate in the halls of Congress-.
bnt 1T runs greater by refusing such
participation. No free Government
IS i. sale IN arbitrarily governing q por-
ton of its people, and if it be neces-
sary to so govern the South, our form
of Government will soon be CHANGED
from republic to military despot-

In few weeks the political crisis

parties show the signal Importance
which is attached to the result. The

on the present occasion is involved
the destiny of the Union itself.

Look to tho Future.

The New Orleans Times has an
admirable article, from which we ex-
tract the subjoincd paragraphs, and
commend them to the attention of
our readers:
Napoleon, in his prison home on
the barren rocks of st. Helena, said ::
'Let us live upon the past!' He strug-
gled hard to tame his proud, ambi-
tlous spirit-to check the longings of
his soul for the excitements of the
court and camp, and the adulation
which authority commands. But the
attempt proved to be altogether vain.
Like the Gagged eagle, chatting against
his prison bars, the captive became
gloomy and despondent He had no
scope left for the exercise of his ge-
MUS. Reflection, a necessity of his
situation, became oppressive, and
hope had no bright pictures with
which to relieve the tedium of his
enforced inaction. He could not Give
upon the past"
Equally vain would it be for our
Southern people to wrap themselves
in the now threadbare mantle of other
days, ignoring a. once the demands
of the present and the promise of the
future. We must meet the difficult
ties of our situation fairly and square
ly. not with the spasmodic acts of
those who centre all their hopes on
the issues Of single hour, but with
such display of calm determination
and philosophic foresight as will ulti-
mately prove creditable to our man
hood
To become excited because of the
mad pranks of partizan extremists,
and despondent because of the tenn
porary and accidental difficulties by
which we are surrounded, are evi-
dences of weakness. That aspiring
manhood which is worthy of success
is ever determined and ever. hopeful
1t makes its failures the agents of
future successes, and wrests victories
even from defeat. Such is the man
hood which our people should strive
to win. They must look to the future,
make servants Of their necessities,
and triumph over difficulties by ho-
norable effort and manly perseverance,.
