Of that amount, - Hi was derived from the U. S. depositc in ■ uu l not from the revenue proper of the ' ■ I'Le State is in debt for these and other (Tiati.ins Some six or seven millions, requir- - I i4UU,U0U a year to pay interest. Al- > t.'ie r thus aided yield a revenue of ' than 5rlUU,U00, with a fair prospect of a UiiicL iargi r .-,um, to say nothing of the increased •i 1. iLe increased value of real estate, increased ‘ iioii, i!cc. The State has been benetitted tliau the cost of all the roads, by the reten- ‘ t p'ipulation, increased value of property, - I -J productions of the earth, and saving of ' ut transportation. The character of the been advanced, too, whilst without these It would have been at a low point indeed. " are led to these remarks by a statement of -lijmi.'jsioner ot rail roads in Tennessee, from we learn that this daughter of N. Carolina -rallied State aid to her railroads to the ■“ uiii i,t 810,4^0,UOO. She has G35 miles of ‘ 'I r idj anj uhout 1000 miles commenced The average cost is about 820,820 I’-i- IZf ta- ■y li ()\ . -’leet e-: II; 4“; ry ' tii A 11 !: • ac- -I ■■ ,v Gov. Walker’s Rehignation.—We have this morning the resignation of the Governor of Kansas. It is very long,—would make five columns of our paper,—and very able, clearly showing that all he has done and said in Kansas has been in accordauce with express agreement between himself and the President before he went t) Kufisas, und that it all met with the President’s nppr.jval, until he changed his mind within the 1 ist few weeks, and determined to sustain the ac tion of the Locompton convention, which was 'lir(‘('tly in opposition (o the course which the .'iiliiiini.^tration had agreed upon, and to which (i iv. \\ alkcr had soltMiinly and repeatedly pledged hinis* ‘If and the ad ministration. lie says,— ‘•The.se pledges I cannot recall or violate with out personal dishonor and the ubamlonment of fundamental principles, and therefore it is impos sible lor me tu support what is called the Lecomp- ton constitution, because it is not submitted to a vote of the people for ratification or rejection.” rhis is very severe upon the President, who made the t-ame pledges, and has recalled and vio lated them, and therefore, according to Walkrr, not only abandons fundamental principles but has personally dishonored himself. With the excep tion of this incidental condemnation. Walker is very courteous to the President. Walker says,— “I accepted [the office of Governor] on the ex press conUitiou tbsit I should advocate the sub- mi.^sion of the constitution to the vote of the peo ple for ratification or rejection. These views were clearly understood by the President and all his (\ibinet” He shows that he had forwarded to the Presi dent all his messages, speeches, &c., in which he hud pledged himself to the people of Kansas, that any constitution framed for them should be sub mitted to a vote of the whole people, and that they all met the approval of the Administration, up to the President’s recent change of ground, lie Considers the President’s present determi nation as a violation of the principle of popular sovereignty embraced in the Kansas-Nebraska billj and shows that there are many other ques tions besides slavery, that the people have a deep interest in, and ought to have a vote on, in the constitution. He shows that the Lecompton con vention was not a fairly constituted body. That only 15 out of 34 counties were represented in it, and that the others, containing a majority of the population, were purposely and wrongfully ex cluded. He says that his pledges prevented a civil war in Kansas, which would probably hcve extended over the Union, and that the present course of the Executive will produce that terrible disaster^ for that an overwhelming majority of the people are opposed to the constitution, and yet are not allowed the privilege of voting against it. South Carolina Banks.—There has been a great struggle in the South Carolina Legislature on the various propositions favorable and unfavor able to the banks of that State. The following letter from a friend at Columbia furnishes an in telligible statement of the case as to the bills for the relief of the suspended banks. We notice a curious fact stated by Mr. Inglis from Cheraw, that one of the banks bad actually refut«ed to receive its own notes in payment of i debt to itselfl This produced great excitement^ in the midst of which several friends of the banks Congress.—The proceedings of the past week possess but little interest. Mr. Harris, Editor of the Union, has been re elected Printer to the Senate. The Senate’s Committees are very much as heretofore. Mr. Hunter Chairman of Finance; Mr. Mason, Foreign; Mr. Dougla.«i, Territories Mr. P.eid is Chairman of the Committee on Patents and Patent office, 5th on Commerce, and 3d on Indian affiairs. Mr. Biggs is 5th on Finance, and 2d on Private Lafid Claims. The Kansas debate was continued by Messrs. Green and Douglas, in the Senate, and by several members in the Hou.se. Judge Douglas, on Friday introduced a bill to authorize Kinsa.s to form a constitution and State government, preparatory to admission into the L^nion. The Finance Committee have reported a bill to authorise the issue of twenty millions in Treasury notes, ot S20 and upwards, payable in one year, and bearing interest. The House of Representatives met for the first time in their New Hall on Wednesday last. On motion of Mr. Clingman, a select Committee was appointed, on Friday, to examine the accounts of Hot). W. Culloiu, Clerk of the last House. L.\ter I'rom Europe.—The Canada arrived at Halifax on Friday, with Liverpool dates to the 5th inst. A fearful crisis is reported at Hamburg and Stockholm. Many additional failures, for large amounts, at Jjondon and Liverpool. Parliament mot on the 3d. The cotton market opened with a decline of | to i, and closed slightly lower, except for mid dling, with a downward tendency. Breadstuffs very dull. Money unchanged. John M. Clapp, for nearly 20 years assistant Editor of the Clarleston Mercury, died on Wed nesday last. Read Out o f the Party.—According to a Wash ington correspondent, Senator Douglas was read out of the party by a caucus of Southern Demo crats. He says: “A caucus of Southern Senators (thirteen in number,) was held last evening, to consider what course they should pursue in re lation to Senator Douglas. I understand they denounced his course, and unanimously read him out of the party.” THE RICHMOND ::OUNTY FAIR.

Soon after the suspension of 1839, the Legisla ture of this State enacted a law, punishing any Banks which suspended specie payments, by a fine of 5 per cent, per annum on all their circulation, payable monthly. During the first month of the present suspension, the fines paid by the Banks amounted to 815,000. When the Batiks were rechartered, in 1852, an amendment was introduced in all the charters, forbidding any bank from paying out any bills but thctr own, save in settlement with other banks, under a penalty for each offence, of 8100. Some of our Banks having suspended, and some having continued to pay spccie, these two restrictions seemed to stand in the way of any improvement in our financial condition. The specie Banks soon found they could not collect their debts in specie fund.s, and have been Banking on Current funds—some of them openly, and the rest covertly, violating the law. The efFori, in our Legislature to relieve the Banks, was to suspend these two acts until the 1st Jan’y 1859.

Walker i!i n-gard to Kansas ^I'K. IE.—The America sailed fromljoston on -duesday with upwards of 81,000,000. The debate in the lower House was long, ex- ^ Newton, best colt 7 months old citing, and well sustained. Some of the speeches " against the Banks were very eloquent; among them Col. Memminger’s, (the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means) was an argument which might take rairk with some of the be.st ef forts of our modern orators. He was ably answered by Mr. Boylston, Mr. DeSaussure, and Mr. Mitchell, and on the whole , the debate would have done credit to any deliber- j wTcVarla^l^l^t^sheen jitive assembly. The Relief bill carried the day by a very small majority of 5 or 6, after having an amendment added to it which prohibits the Banks from en forcing any Execution against the Debtors dur ing the suspension of specie payments. What its fate will be in the Senate, I do not know. But I consider it as very doubtful if that body will concur. It 13 curious to see the amount of prejudice and clamour which exists against the Banks. Planters who owe them for an advance on tbeir unsold crops, are loud in their outcry against these fraudulent corporations, because they don’t pay spccie for their bills, and in the next breath, blame thetn for not expanding the currency. The news of the resumption of the New York banks has just reached us—who can t«ll the effect it will have on the South? Our Banks were be ginning to have a credit in New^ York, which may now be withdrawn, if, as may be the case, the specie in New York should be in part shipped back to Liverpool. But if this should be the case, the restoration of confidence in England, consequent on the re ception of so large an amount of coin, and the favorable effect otherwise, of resumption in this country, may raise the price of our staples abroad, and greatly facilitate the sale of our cotton. Let us hope for the best. I hear but little of national politics. There is a set of Kansas resolutions on our tables, but the time has not yet come to consider them. [The Senate has rejected the Relief Bills.] The communication of “Amicus” would not. in our opinion, tend to promote the object which he and we have at heart, and therefore its insertion is deoiiued.

H., April 15, 1852. 1.)k Pitr.sTON.—/Jenr Sir: For the last four years I have been, as you arc well aware, a great sufferer with Kyspepsia. Frequently, during that time, I have been comjielled to quit my business, and the dia- e.ase had become so seated that 1 had given up all hopes of ever obtaining any relief. The most simple food Caused great distress. 1 had given up in despair, until you strongly recom mended file Oiyjenated Hitters, and it is with a heart full of gratitude, that I now pronounce myself wholly fn t fntm all symptoms of Dyspepsia. I can eat any thing ■at .any time, sleep well, and can now enjoy the balmy air of Spring, and look upon nature with a delight that has been a stranger to me for years To all who may be suffering from Dyspepsia, I would say, “use the Oxygcnattd Bitters." WM. PLAISTED. Centleirten,—I add my hearty concurrence with the above statement, knowing it to contain nothing but the trutli. I never sold any medicine for Dyspepsia, that has given so universal satisfaction as the Oxygenated UUters. WM. R. PRESTON, Druggist and Apothecary. Portsmouth, April 15, 1852. Seth W. Fowle & Co., 138 Washington Street, Bos ton, Proprietors. Sold by their agents every wher«. R HE A C.ASE OF TIIRKE .MONTHS STANDING CURED. Georok W. Henuebsox, of Pittsburg, says— “.Aft«r sufl'ering for three months with Rheumatism, a part of the time so severely as to confine me to my bed, I have been entirely cured by using Boerhave’i Holland Bitters. I have had one attack since, but found almost instantaneous relief in the same medi cine. It is in my opinion, a sure remedy for Rheuma tism. Dec. ly. 70-2tpd
