The Picayune of yesterday, the 15th, says :
The despatches whioh reached this office last ev-
ening prepared, us for the inevitable seqnel, and
few were surprised to hear at midday that the.New
York banks had stopped speeie payments in a body.
Before people had fairly time to reflect on the con-
sequences of this step, some of our own banks got
. into trouble, and followed the example of N. York.
Parties transacting business with the old banks
were astonished to find the circulation of the Union,
Bank of New Orleans and Mechanics' and Traders'
thrown out, and as ibis knowledge becomes diffused a
sharp run set in these institutions which compelled
them to succumb. The banks which remain mtact
are the Southern, Citizens', Louisiana, Louisiana
Stats, Canal and Jas. Bobb.
Of conree the excitement in the Btreet after 12 o'-
clock was very great, especially in the vjciaity of
the suspended banks. Business wasnot thought of,
and we have yet te learn that a solitary Bill of Ex-
change was sold.
Prom the other banks specie was-only drawn to
^limited «tent, and it is to be hoped there
i no foolish run were the ability to pay is so
' strong.
We are informed, that the remaining banks have
determined to stand up to cash payments. .

—An officer of the U. S. ship Portsmouth, writing
to his friends in New* Haven, mentions thst he had
been introduced to the King of Sam, who he found
to ba an accomplished scholar, .and extremely well
acquainted with the English language. The King
had numerous books, and in speaking on the sub-
ject, remaiked that he fonnd Webatt't American
Dictionary one of the best he bad ever met with—
pointing at the same time to two copies of the wark

Wao abb Favobxd bt tub Sbbtcnsion.—The
New York Tribune gives tha following explanation
of tha afleo ta of a suspension of speoie psyments
by thi banki:
The effect of a suspension of specie payments by
tha is this: whatever the difference of value
may ba between specie and what, under a system of
that' is, ia'the suspended banks—to the ex-

he Northwestern Territory in. fifty , years, by
8,298. In 1790, the population, of the Union
i less than 4,000,000. Now it: is 27,000,000 or

The people of Europe in grest numbers, and some

of their condition and advancetoent in wealth,

composing the old Northwestern Territory notonly
invite them,'but they invits onr kindred and friends
from tbe old Statea to take up their abode with
them; and so frequently had the invitation been
accepted that it bad been and. bow ia a matter of
complaint by those who remain at the old home-

ity of bis military conflicts. He knew no North, no
South. X have an original letter in my possession
■frrifcten when, he was President, dated "United
States, March 28th, 1792."
This is worthy the imitation of all Presidents Of
the United States, and of all public man who
sherish a regard for the Constitution of the'United
States. Hs was an American throughont, too
pure to be corrupted by flattery or money, and too
fearless to be moved by frowns. In his farewell
address, his lsst munificent legacy, the crowning
act of bis useful and most extraordinary life, he
pointed out with pTophetic vision ths dangers that
would beset and await his countrymen if they
should yield to the representations of the enemies
of the Union. There are a few who denounce Gen.
Washington and ths Constitution, but the great
mars of the people of all parties and all sections of
this extensive, populous country are lond in extoll-
ing him js its "Father," and they are attaohed to
the Constitution and to the Union of the States.—
His mind dwelt more earnestly - upon the Union
tnan upon any other temporal thing, and let us
follow his example, and let it be our oonstant en-
deavor and prayer to transmit unimpaired this
Eepublican Government to our ohildren.
Imfobtakos ov Vbntilation In regard to-the
transmission of fevers, an English phytisian says
that when the infection is not destroyed or disper-
sed in the: sick room, it attaohee itself and adheres
with great tenacity to all articles of furniture—
chairs, tables, drawers, &o.—nestling in their in-,
numerable pores; and, unless these artioles be
scrubbed with a solution of ohlorids of lime, or ex-
possd te a strong heat, or a free current of air, for
several hours, it may again beoome evolved, more
virulently than at first, after the lapse of weeks.
Bnt it chiefly adheres to cotton and Woolen mate-
rials. The patiept's body-clothes and blankets be*
come saturated with it, like a sponge with water ;
and, in airing these, materials, a: mere passing
breeze ia not always sufficient to carry it away.'

Economt in Ode Dbbss.t—The population of the
United States amounts at the present moment to
about.25,000,QQ0v"If every individual in this ag-
gregate were to economise ten dollars yearly, the
annual saving would be 1,250,000^000. By wearing
our clotheasix months longer, the ten dollarscould
easily be spsred, and we would net be lees comfor-
table, or respectable for the economy." Thieietrua,
aad however trivial it may seem to begin in our
own households the work of removing a national
misfortune, yet the figures show that a great deal
cits be done is this way towards that object. In-
dustry and economy are the only real sources of
wealth. Industry is. paralyzed at present, and
henee we mnst call in economy to help us out of
the'difficulty. In nothing can it be applied with
less injury to enraelves and the public than is the
articles of superfluous dress.
Osaob Obasob Hbdob—The seed should not be
boiled: that would kill them. But scalding hot
water may be poured on them, if in small quanti-
ties, so as to cool ia a short time—long enongh to
soften the shell of ths seed, but not to destroy vitsl-
ity. Soaking several daye in water is a oommon
praetioe—the water being removed every day or
or two. The moat important requisite for success
is procuring good seed, whioh a little observation
and practice will enable any one to diatingnlsh
when eompared with bad seed.
The hedge ahonld be planted in spring—if over
a tile drain, it will prove harder than on wet ground
—it must be cultivated and kept perfectly clean—
the second spring cut it down within three inches
of the ground, and if it grows rapidly, cut it again
about midsummer, or when twenty inobes high,
three or four inches higher than before. The fol-
lowing year repeat the same process, inoressing a
little thÁ height of each successive cutting, till the
hedge is formed, whioh will be four or five years, if
well cultivated and well managed.
You remember the results of defectivo seeds sown
or planted last spring. . Many fields of corn, and
many plats in gardens, bad to be planted over.
You may avoid this by having good seed; secure
thia end by saving the largest and best seeds of
every kind. Astoeorn, a good way íb to select
those ears that are largest and have ripened earliest :
let t^iem ripen fully on the stalk, then gather them,
and select- the finest and best shaped among these,
and hang them where they will be kept perfectly
dry till you wish to plant next spring.
One of those inconsistent fellows, of whom we
have some even in this dueling region, who thinkjt
no sin to abnse a man ever so roundly with their
tongues, .but a great sin to fight, received a well-
merited rebuke the other day. His old man was
up, as it often was, and he wound up his abuss by
adding.
"I would give you what you need, but you know
my bands are tied."
"Then," said the other, "you ought to keep your
tongue tied."
We think so too. A little the meanest man out
la one who pretends to be so religious that he can
not fight, but haa not religion enough te sustain
him from insulting his neighbor.

We are assured by excellent authority, says the

Bank Failures w tbb Wist.—The following
are some of the banks of the West which have either
suspended or failed:
The Badger State Bank, at Jonesville, Wisconsin
has failed, and made an assignment, its circula-
tion in July was $22,870, seoured bv $17,000 in
Missouri 6es, and $9,000 in Tennessee bonds.
The People'e Bank, at Milwaukee, olosed 1
Saturday afternoon. Itscirculation is $19,99.7, se-
cured by $20,000 Georgias.
The Fox Biver Bsnk, at Grand Bay, Wisconsin
bas failed. Its capital was $50,000; its circulation
last July was $25,060; seoured by $10,000 Virginia
Sixes, $24,000 Tennessee and $8,000 Missourias.
The Savings'Ba k ol Green, Thomas A Co., at
Burlington, Iowa, and the Merchants' Insurance
and Savings' Company, of the same oity, ha ve sus-
pended.
The Bank of Belleville, Illinois, has suspended.
It wss formerly iowned .by the house of Bogy
Miltenberger & Co., of St. Louis, but has for some
t ime past been in the hands of a company in-Belle-
ville. Its notes are seoured by State stocks.
The banking house of Moore,-Hollowbush & Co.,
of Keokuk, suspended last Monday. S. & ' . B.
Thayer, millers and distillers of the same city, have
failed and ;assigned also.
Also, the Weetern Exchange Bank of Omah, Ne-
braska Territory.
Dxath or Caiar Justice Mubbay.—Hugh C.
Murray, Chief Justice of the State, died at Sacra-
mento on tbe morning of September 18th. By his
decsase, a vacancy is occasioned on the Supreme
Bench, which has te be filled,' temporarily, by ap-
pointment from the Governor. ,
Judge Murray was a native of St. Louis, Mo.,
Snd at his decease was only 33 years old. He was
a man of commanding intellect, but of limited ac-
quired knowledge, aad of extremely dissipated
habits. His early death is occasioned by excesses
in drink and other dissipations. He leaves many
warm hearted friends, and during his life has war
red against a host of fierce enemies. By his de
cease David S. Terry, holding the Senior Commis
sion, becomes Chief Justice of California. Four
teen months ago he was a prisoner in the cells of
the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco.
Tax Hemaiks or Lxoabb.—The Charleston-Cour-
ier, of the 9th inst., sayB:
The treasured remains ef the body that was once
animated and informed by the soul snd apirit of
Hugh Swinton Legare, arrived ia this, city yester-
day morning, and were deposited in tbe receiving
vault of Magnolia Cetoetery, the oompany having
tendered the use of this receptacle, and of their
hearse, with other facilities and assistance.
. They will there await the arrival Of our aseoclate,
who is possessed of the wishes and instructions of
the nearest surviving friend bf this distinguished
citizen of Charleston, and of the South Carolinian,
whose remains will soon be committed finally to
their appropriate resting place.
We need only express and indulge the. hope, that
this worthy and appropriate deposit will not he
permitted to remain in Our Magnolia without a fit-
ting monument.
We learn from the New York correspondence ef
the Courier that tbe Adame Expresa Company
agreed to transport the remains of Legare from
Boston to Charleston and refused to accept any
payment—a liberal act.
Tbe Memphis Appeal says that nearly all the Free
Banks in East Tennessee have "letdown," or in
other words, suspended. The Banks of Oooee,
Dandridge, Knoxville, Tazewell and Claiborne,
have all "curled up," so we learn, and will proba-
bly have to go into liquidation.' The note-holders
will be secured against loss to the extent of the
stooks deposited with the Controller of the State'
ScsrxitBiNa Businbss.—The Albany (N. York)
Statesman, of the Sth inst., says:
Some of the largest manufacturing establishments
of Boohester have suspended wholly or in part their
business. Not less than 2000 workmen were dia-
oharged on Saturday night last; and unless times
beoome.easier, as many more will be dismissed on
Saturday next. Some of the heaviest coopering
establishments have suspended as the millers do dot
want barrels, and if they did, they have not the
money to pay for them.
Chicago, it is said, oan turn out fifty million
bushels of grain in a few weeks, and has facilities
for receiving four millions of bushels per week. The
banks, it is said, not being able to accomodate the
grain dealers, en aocount of heavy losses by con-
signments! irresponsible parties East, will take
the trade into their own hands, taking bills of la-
ding in the name of the bank, and consigning the
property to their own agents at the East. Instead
ef sending drafts on New York, they propose to
send forward the wheát and corn in lieu of ex-
change. Thie will get the property 'to market, and
liquidate debts.
Anotkkb Nobthxeh Parson is Tboubli.— We
learn from a New York paper that the people of
Hartwick, OtPego county, New York, have been
fxcited of late by a case of erim. con., in whiíh El-
der S. B. Hay ward, paster of the "Christian"church
in that place, and a female member of bis flock,
are the parties. A committee of leading members
of the ohuroh having been appointed to investir
gate the charge, reported it sustained by their ex-
amination.
A letter from New York, dated 6th inst., says
that the dry goods auctioneers continue to bring
large assortments of g<eds to the hammer, but it
is the hardest sort of uphill work to sell for cash.
Domestic goods, such as flannels, sheetings and
shirtings, are about the only kind of goods that
are bid for, and evén these are knocked down at
rates often below the actual cost of production.
Gen. Hbmmixssxh.—This distinguished soldier
arrived in the city yesterday, and is putting up at
the City Hotel. Modest and unobtrusive, possessing
high qualifications as a military leader, a scholar
and an author, Gen. HenningeenJ is a man of note.
His gallant conduct before Granada entitles him to
the respect of every man who admires valoreas
deeds.—Delta.
Bank or Jakes Bobb.—This bank gave good
evidence yesterday, says thePicayune,ofits ability
to meet the demands upon it. Owing to tbe ex-
oitement caused by the suspension of several of
the free banks, it was determined by the manage-
ment of Bobb'sBaukto afford extra facilities to
the holders of its bills, desirous of converting thém
into gold, and accordingly the banking house was
kept open several hours after the usual time of
closing, and all demands were promptly met.
This bank will be further strengthened to-day,
and will be well prepared for any pressure by its
bill holders. We learn that the following despatch
was received at the bank yesterday morning from
their correspondent at Vicksburg: .
"vlcksbubq, Oct. 18, 1867.
"James Robb & Co.:
"We remit forty thousand dollars in gold for
our account to-day."
This remittance will add to the available means
to meet any demaads to-day on the bank.

A lady writer says: Clandatine marriages sel-
dom bring happiness; the woman who sacrifices
home and father's and mothers affection for a
lover, unless tha parents are unusually unreason-
able, generally reaps that reward ¡which follows in
the footsteps of ingratitude and disobedience. The
world is full of such instanoes. -
