THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks is
again quite unfavorable, and the total Of surplus
reserve Ia reduced to less than g. 100000 The loss
OF specie and legal tenders has been over million
and half against decrease OF deposits OF only
four millions, the latter being the consequence
chiefly Of contraction OF loans by the banks the
poans being down close upon three millions. Az
result the surplus reserve has been impaired
about six hundred thousand dollars. Consoia-
tioa is offered by the statement. however that the
banks are not losing to any great extent by ship
ment OF money out OF the city. The decrease In
deposits, considering the curtailment OF credit
during the week and the heavy
DRAIN or GOLD
Into the Sub-Treasury for customs has been ev en-
smaller than might have been anticipated. Indeed,
the whole statement and the facts IL reveals 20 to
confirm our views expressed a few weeks since,

likely this to be what II has been In previous
years. The statement contrasts with Its predeces-

they will hereafter produce, in rapid
succession, inventions of permanent
utility to man. We are glad to hear
this from an authority evidently famil,
lar with the subject spoken of, aud in
the truths expressed thereby lies the
germ of marvellous promise to the
South. When the genius of her people
shall be turned to the utilization of the
minerals hidden, and as yet almost un-
sought for, beneath her soil, the timber
thas grows untouched in her forests, and
the water power that now wastes itself
in picturesque tumbling over the crags
of her valleys, it will take but a little
while to attain thrift, far nobler in
itself and more honored by the world,
than was ever the luxuriant but idle
prosperity of score of years ago.
1t is especially desirable that the
work of devising new machinery to
meet the peculiarlties of Southern IN
dustries should be done by Southern
men. The inventive skill of Northern
mechanics can supply devices to fulfill
any demand with the nature of which
they are familiar. But the condition
under which machinery IN the region
referred to must be used are so differ
ent from those obtaining in the North
ern, Eastern and Western sections of
the country, that no experience, how
ever thorough, gained in these las;
would be of use in celebrating improve
ments for use in the other We believe
that there is room for hundreds of new
inventions applicable to agriculture, ARTS,
and manufactures IN the Southern
States, and the sooner they are produced
by the energy and talent of the people
thereof, the better will it be-"

Southern Inventors.

Tn the year l85o-one year prccec-
ing the war-we visited the Patent Of
flee Department in Washington, and we
were surprised to learn how few among
the thousands of models received yearly
came from the South, an how many
came from the North. We were told
by the Commissioners that less than ten
per cent of the whole number of ap-
plieants came from tie then slave
States, and OF this small number con-
siderable proportion were from Northern
men residing in the South. We put
this question to the Commissioner
+" Why is it that Southerners invent SO
little ? Have they less constructive
ness than Northerners 2" To which be
replied: No; the one is quite as in
genious as the other; but the one is a
planter and the other a manufacturer
The rudest instruments answer the pur>
poses of his rude agriculture, while the
manufacturer needs, and must have the
best mechanism. Again: there is an
aristocracy in the south which looks on
labor as punishment rather than a
pleasure, and only those work who
mast" But idea or prejudice passed
away with the "peculiar institution y
and now different state of things ex.
lists.
The Patent Office records Of the
present year show great increase Of
Southern inventions. Instead of the
seven or eight per cent. of 1859, it has
now thirty per cent. of the whole cred
tied to the former slave States. Is no
this encouraging? Southern gentlemen
who had never supposed themselve
capable Of suggesting mechanical de
vice, " take to it" as kindly as natura
born Connecticut Yankee clock maker
We hope to chronicle great things il
this respect now that the best mechan
ism is to be used in the South. Aun

OREGON AFFAIRS AT WASHING
TON.

From the Washington correspondent
of the Eugene Journal we learn that
President Grant informed an Oregoniau
a few days since, tha: it was his desire
fre IN the first Of his administration to
have Mr.. Williams in his Cabinet as
Attorney General, but refrained from
appointing him, on the ground that the
appointment of Mr.. Williams, at that
time, would cause vacancy 10 the
Senate, which woald be filled by q
Democrat. He, e,therefore, deemed it best
to let Mr. Williams retain his position
as Senator, until the expiration of his
term, which he accordingly did, and
then requested the resignation of Mr.
Alderman and appointed Mr.. Williams.
The Democrats, as well as Republicans,
from the Pacific slope, in Washington,
express their approval of the appoint
ment. Concerning the recent changes
in the Indian Department, the CORES
pondent says:
"Senator Corbett states that the
Secretary OF the Interior informed him
on the 25th of November, that, on the
solicitation OF Rev Mr. Harris of the
Methodist Board of Missions, he had
decided to transfer the Indian Agency
at Fort Hall from the Catholics to the
Methodlsts, aud the Grande Ronde
| Agency from the Methodists TO the
Catholics, in accordance with which
Mr.. p. Il Sinnot was nominated. Sen
ator Corbett also says that, on account
of dissatisfaction resulting in part from
the assignment of the Fort Hall Agency
TO the Catholics, at the request of the
| Superintendent of Indian affairs, he
was asked by Secretary Delano on the
10Th of December to designate new
Superintendent for Oregon aud named

VULGAR.-One of the quickest ways
to expose ignorance, and a lack of cul.
ture gained by travel, is loud talking at
public table upon individual mat
ters.
A man may be much respected and
looked up to at home for having worked
and surrounded himself with nice
home, and plenty of good things. but
when he goes abroad he must not expect
that people will take him for more than
his actions denote.
Loud talk at hotel table between a
man and his wife depreciates the gen.
eral impression of both, and places them
in ridiculous light. There 10 differ
ence between an easy, quiet selfposses>
sion, a perfectly well>bred- at-home feel>
ing among strangers-and grim pom>
posity which amounts only to disgusting
vulgarity, although some people who
have not travelled far from home have
not found it out.--Eln Orlou.
