Hudler, of Roundout, have bought the patent right for a process to enable every one to make hi l from the South with Northern drafts. And as the Banks get as much discount from them as any other class of customers, and can sell the drafts they procure from them for one and. a half per cent premium, of course it is to their interest to accommodate the speculator before any other of their cus tomers. I could refer to many instances, in my own personal knowledge, where men en gaged in manufacturing Iron, Cotton-yarn, Cloth, Leather, Mining, &c, have been re fused discounts on as good paper as ever touched the counter of any Bank, and the next day the speculator was furnished all he desired, for the reason above stated. Now let us suppose, for a moment, that Banking privileges were conferred on the N. C. Bail Road, and a gentleman in this county en gaged in manufacturing Iron, Cotton goods, Flour, or anything of the kind, needed an accommodation from the Bank, Accord ingly he would procure his endorsers, and after drawing his note and getting it duly signed, he would present it for discount at the nearest Branch of tho Bank. The Cashier would enquire what he wanted with the money, and the applicant would inform him that he had quite a number of hands employed in the manufacture of Iron, Cot ton goods, Flour, Leather, or was engaged in Mining, and wished to employ hands en ough to raise fifty thousand tons of coal or copper a week would it not be to the in terest of the Rail Road Bank to accommo date this class of men, provided their paper was of an undoubted character, before any others ? Most assuredly it would. And why? Because they are engaged in man ufacturing freight for the Rail Road. Not to be tedious, I will give you an ex ample : Suppose, for illustration merely, that Mr. Leroy Springs of the enterprising j town of Charlotte, desired a discount to go j up into Wilkes, Surry, Ashe and other Wcs J tern Counties, after harvest, to purchase j wheat to supply his mill with grain during the year ; and he, instead of stipulating as the speculators do, to discharge his note in Northern drafts, would agree, instead of sending his Flour to Charleston, to forward the whole of it to Wilmington or Beaufort ; would not a Bank thus organized have a tendency, and a powerful one, too, to protect and encourage internal improvement men, and the industry and enterprise of the State; j to say nothing of the certainty of it soon bringing up the stock in all our Rail Roads to favor, and thus enabling the State to ex tend them in every direction, without bur- thening our people with enormous taxes. I know this has been the case in Georgia, and to some degree in South Carolina ; and it could not fail to have the same effect in this State. At any rate, I, and many oth ers in this section of the State, arc for it ; and will spare no pains to promote such men as go for this important reform. Though none of us be personally interested as stock holders in any of our Rail Roads, the State is, to the amount of millions; and therefore we, as tax-payers, are interested to the same extent. I hope, Messrs. Editors, you will insert this hastily sketched article, and that the same, if no other papers of the State will. Respectfully, YADKIN HUGH L.
