UsURY AND "B."

MIR. EDITOR: The idea held out in the
doggerel published in your last weeks
issue over the signature of "B," that
farmers. Ito say nothing of mechanics and
merchants make their bread and. meat
by borrowing money, is about on par
with '"B'sn theory of the establishment
of National Ranks, viz: That the stock
holders simply deposit their bond for
100000 with the government, and re-
ceiye in consideration 100000 currency,
to be loaned cut to planters and others to
buy, their provisions at a ruinous rate OF
interest.
Now, in the first place, national banks
are based upon United States bonds &C
tually purchased-often at q considerable
premium -and deposited with the United
States Treasurer to secure their clrcula-
tion and in the second place, the
amount of bills issued to the banks is
one-tenth less than the actual amount OF
capital paid in. To illustrate: A ma
tional bank with a capital of $4,000
has $50, 1000 United States bonds at par,
which may have cost the stockholders
$4,000, owing to the premium the bonds
were selling at the time the purchase was
made, paid for in actual cash, to secure
S45,O00 national bank bills for circula-
) ton. So much for 'eB's" banking system:

be well to illustrate the practical opera

some may be unduly prejudiced by the

THE AUGUSTA RAILROAD MEETING.

The meeting held in augusta last week
in the interest of Augusta and Knoxville
Railroad wassyery well attended by dele
gates from South Carolina, Georgia,
North Carolina and Tennessee, but of
allthe ridiculous farces ever enacted by
deliberative body, land some of the
previous conventions Of this proposed
road. have been very great farces, the
proceedings of this Convention entitle it
to- pre.eminence. The city of Augusta
had sixty delegates, which was con-
trolling vote in the Convention. and
other counties of Georgia were also repre-
sented by good sized delegations, so that
we might sum up the character of the
body by saying that it was intensely
Georgian in its objects and action.
Every thing about the Convention, even
to the details of appointing committees
and so forth, was cut and dried before it
assembled, and upon the day Of meeting
they went through the pre-arranged pro-
gramme almost without ripple of diff
ference of opinion finding expression in
in their proceedings. ~ -,
These proceedings, which are skesched
in another column, will no doubt amtse
every reader who is acquainted With the
difficulties Of building railroads. If reso-
lutions can complete them, the recent
gathering in Augusta has made rail-
road, but, if it requires anything more
substantial, the construction of the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad will
have to be provided for by some other
body. It is indeed remarkable that a
meeting of delegates to an informal Con-
vention should undertake to locate the
line of railroad for the building Of
which there was no organized company,
and for which no actual stock has been
subscribed. No doubt the delegates
from the West think Charleston has been
inactive. We all, agree with them upon
that point, butit farnisses noreason why
they should have made themselves
ridiculous BY locating the road before
forming company Or ascertaining what
support they could receive on the diff dE:
fe7ent routes. We believe the action OF
this Convention will come to naught,
and that the people Of South Carolina
should proceed at once to organize prac--i
tically;to secure The location and con-
struction of road to run from Port
Royal and Aiken TO, the Rabun Gap, at
which pointit would no doubt meet the
road from Knoxville and become the
Great Trunk Line.

! While We are watching the slow move
lments of the Russian and Turkish armies
with great interest, feeling that tithe fate
of more than. two of the nations of
Europe hang upon its result, there is q.
strong probability that we. may have a
bloody little episode between the Nor.
mons and Gentiles in this country.
Brigham Young, the great head and
prophet of the Mormon faith in Utah ,far
famed las the champion polygamist Of the
nineteenth eeatury, is putting on his war
paint and breathing out mutterings Of
vengeance and war because of govern
mental. interference in his dominions for
the prevention and punishment of crime.
Dispatches fr5m Salt Lake say that they
are drilling in meeting houses, barns,
stables, &C., there, and in most of the
minor towns. Great numbers of breech-
loading rifles have been shipped to Utah,
and Brigham Young arose at an unex-
Ipected momens in the tabernacle and jad-
dressed saints and sinners, giving the
latter, who are Gentiles, to understand
that ifthey wanted war they could get it
at any time; .aad that they were likely to
have more blood LET ont of their veins
soon than they could conveniently spare
at one time. In.,the Territory Of Utah
there are about: one hundred Thousand
Mermons and oaly about fifteen thousand
IGentiles, hence an uprising on thepart
iof the former could easily make a COM
p1ete massacre of the latter, many Of
whom are preparing to remove their
families from the, impending danger.
.rSe governments will punish all criminals
vigorously, and if, the Mormons resort to
force there iB vary little doubt that, their,
settlement will ultimately be entirely de-
stroyed.. . These people are in many re-
spects not mora than half civilized, and
the existence OF such. a colony upon our
soil forms a. dark spot in the history of
our civilization. Ifthe.spirit of aggres-
sion becomes too violent in these people,
and war is, begun, it does not require
much prophetic vision to foretell their
utter destruction: ["Whom the gods wish,
to destroy they first make blind" and if
the Morinions llave become so blinded as
to inaugurate war. ii is not improbable
that. gtheasworas, the great purifier and
corector Of crying political and moral
evils, which; have reached their last state
Of crime, may put; speedy termination
tothe complicatedip problem of converting
the Mormons, by blotting out from our
country the people who practice the
hideous vice Of polygamy, coupled with
the. other hslfbarbarious heresies. of
Mormonism. We trust no such severe
remedy may be required, but the rum
blings of the storm have been distinctly
heard, and it may break forth at any

| glad that you have allowed me the PRIV
ilege of being present with you to-day,
! and to speak to you on o subject that
know you all feel an interestin ~: o,i.I.
My object in bringing before you this
matter is, that MI. Simms was q Printer
long before he became, a Poet and Histo-
rian. He was a man Of. remarkable char
| acter, and the architect of his own for
tunes. His whole time was devoted to
the State of South Carolina and the whole
| South, and it was but right that some
thing should be done in remembrance Of
1 his memory. When Mr.. Simms died a
few gentlemen in this city thought that
the memory of such man who had done
SO much for South Carolina and the South
should not be passed unnoticed, and that
q monument ought to be placed over his
last resting place. These gentlemen met
| at the Cemetery, and through their en-
deaYors procured lot free and raised the.
| sum of $1,000. At the same time I ad-
dressed short letter to the several edit
| ors in the State asking their cooperation
| in this noble work. The matter was
started il 1872, and is now in such con-,
dition that it ought to be, pressed. The
bust has been completed, tand is, now. in.
the hands of Mr.. Ward, Of. New YORK,
The bust is. a fine work of art, and as a
great admirer of Mr.. Simms said, that s'it
looked like noble old Roman"
The cost Of the bust is' 81, 200 $3.50 Of
that amount has been paid, and the bal
ance due has been owing for some time,
and should be paid. He, thought as this
was q State matter, that each county.
should contribute their quota, and that
the proposition he wished to make was
this:, That the press in each county un-,
dertake to raise the sum of $50; that he,
was satisfied that through the instrument
taiityof the press the5amount could be-
easily raised. Mr. Porter concluded With:
an earnest appeal to the members Of the
press to take the matter up in earnest
and not allow it to fail. That If they
