STARTLING STATISTICS. "We find in the Richmond Examiner the following startling statistics of the banking capital &c in the years 1837, 47, 57. Comment is unnecessary: "The number of bauks in the Union in 1837 was 783; in 1847 it was 715; in 1857 it is 1,416. "The bank notes in circulation in 1837 amount ed to $149,185,890; in 1847 tltey amounted to ,105,51!,7G6; they amount in 1857 to 214,778,- "The specie held by the banks of the Union in 1837 was 837,913,540; in 1847 it was $35,132,510; in 1357 it is $58,349,833. "The indebtedness of-the people to the banks of the L nion m lad was .2o,ll;,02; their indebt edness in 1847 was $310,282,945; and in 1857 it is jst84,45(i,887. "The capital stock of the banks in the Union in 1837 was $290,772,091; iu 1847 it was $203,070, 022; and in 1857 it is $370,834,274. "Facts speak louder than words. Compare 1837 with 1847; then compare 1857 with 1847, and trem ble at the resemblance between '57 and '37." A Nut for the South Carolina Banks. A writer in the Columbia (S. C) Times has been propounding a few interesting queries to the Interior banks of that state, to which we have as yet seen no response. "Wild cats" don't seem to be much more dangerous than the domesticated -animal. The writer asks: "Have any of the Banks of this State, used their funds the present summer, in discounting paper at usurious interest, either in New York, or elsewhere say three per cent, a month?) If so, what Bank? Has any bank refused to discount the notes or drafts C any -planter or merchant, unless said plan ter or merchant would bind himself not to give anope than for cotton, when the staple was -wm-th froHtllv more in market; It so wtiat name.' How many asreuts, have the Banks, beyond Nothing friends spoke ont saying, "yon sneak off, do yon." M. turned, stepped back and in quired "who said sneak?" .Whereupon he who spoke thrust his face viciously at M, and said 1 did, sir." Instantly &i.f tnougu smi by the whole pack, with their pistols and kniv- slapped him in the face with such force as came near prostrating him. As he recover ed from the blow he drew a pistol and snapped it at Mitchell, the cap exploding only. Mitch ell immediately drew his pistol, and was about to fire upon him, when some one told him not fellow was drunk, whereupon Mitchell pnt up his pistol saying, "I will not shoot a drunken man.'' As he stood there casting a glance mst a., one and then at another cf them, neither nor any cue of them dared further to molest him Whether any one of them will yet do so remains to be seen.

It is deemed a great offence here that Mitchell should dare, in the midst of so lure a majority of ki.ow nothing to edit a pa per" and I have no doubt but that everything that can be, will be done to impair the influ ence of the paper, but it will be to no purpose. Ocr Governor and Treasurer. We find in the Washington States, the following com plimentary allusion to our leading state officers respecting the course pursued by them in the present financial erisis: "North Carolina. We observe a notice in the last Ralei&h Standard, authorized by the Treasurer of the State, that the interest on the bonds of the State of North Carolina Atw nf Jflnnarv next would be paid now at par on the presentation ol the coupons. In these tiays oi paua, pressure too much praise cannot be bestowed on this eourse.

What amount of the funds in THE PAR OF CXtniXGE. The principle on which American merchants and bankers calculate ex .!,, rr.. nv "F.nrl:md Is thus clearlv set forth by a ' i" " n ' 13 - correspondent of the New York Mirror: "The par of exchange is determined by the rel ative proportion of pure metal in the coined piece which forms the unit of price in the different com mercial countries of the world. The alloy is reck oned of no value. "To simplify the matter as much as possible, we will waive all consideration of the different stand ards .if fineness: and state that our American dol- lrcraihins 2S.2i.10t) prams of Dure srold, and the British sovereign 113 grains of the same. Every reader may not know that the sover eign is the coined piece of which the pouud sterling is the money of account. A simple calculation in the rule of three, therefore, de termines that the equivalent of the pound ster ling is $4,80,65-100 of our currency. "Thus as 23,22,100 is to 1 so is 113 to $4, 86 65,100. But the English, through all the variations of the mint laws, here and elsewhere indeed for ages have been accustomed to vhlue their pound sterling by the old Spanish carolus pillar dollars, now entirely out of cir culation in Europe and America, having all been sent to China, or gone into the melting pot. Of these $4,44,4.100 were equivalent to the nrmnd sterling. It will be seen that it re- ojiires the addition of 9 per cent with a scarcely appreciable fraction to make the pre sent value of the pound sterling in our curren cv. Thus $4,44 44.100 Add H nr ct nrom. of exchange 42 52.100 -a i i " "It mav be well to explain that, when noth ing is said to the contrary; the quotations of ct-t-riiritr PTcknm nre bv custom, for bills at fiO fbivs siu-ht. which, at'the lesral rate of in toM.st")rp involves a loss of one per cent, be- .; tiVur. of - transmission.

We clip the following timelv remarks from the Wilmington Juiirnal, and recommend them to the careful perusal of onr democratic friends. The cloud in the dim, vague distance, as yet no bigger than a man's hand, small as it is yet bears, to our mind's eye, a faint, misty resemblance to a miniature na tional bank just resting upon the hazy horizon of a high protective tariff. But read the Jour nal's article: B-sg- Men say that out of the existing panic, pressure, or whatever else it may be called, new political issues and associations will arise, and that efforts will be made to modernise some of ".i.ciuto ;.ie-ia of the. old whiir uartv.

We find in some of our Carolina know nothing exchanges a very different account of the affair tY,a ifntcmpnt nnnended below. The latter is from a reliable gentleman who was present, and who published it in tha Washington Union: Knoxville, Texn. F. C. Dcxxixgtox, Esq. The Know Noth ing papers here will endeavor, 1 have no doubt, to produce a false inpression upon the public mind with reference to an assault made upon Fleming, the editor of the Register, by John Mitchell. You have seen. I suppose, the arti cles recently appearing in the Louisville Jour nal in which Mitchell is charged with having effected his escape from an Dieinan s Land by a breach of parole. One of these articles, during .Mitchell's recent absence in New Y'ork, wiis re-published in the Register, accompanied by.some impertinent comments Day before yesterday he met with Fleming, and approach ing him, (no friend of Mitchell's having the slightest intimation of his intention in the pre ; raises,) said to him in the hearing of sundry ; persons: "Mr Fleming, sir, in my absence, you published a scurrillous and impertinent ar ticle resrectiii2 myself in your paper." Here Fleming interuotinr him bv savins, "scurril lous?" "Yes. sir." said Mi'tchell, "scurrillous, and it is this way that I shall answer it," and iinniediateiv. commenced caninsr him. a dozen or more persons witnessing it. His cane was broken upon Feming, the lat ter makinjr such resistance and parrying the blows as best he conld, though inflicting no in jury whatever upon Mitchell. They were sep erated by bystanders, an officer seizing Mitch ell In ten or fifteen minutes afterwards Mitchell stepped into the Lamar House with a friend, and remained there perhaps half an hour. Fleming s friends became quite anxious to know why he did not appear upon the street, that F. might repair the injury he had suiter ed. Mitchell not being armed in the urst me lee provided himself with such weapons as he thought necessary to hi-s defence, and appeared upon the street, though told that there were Know Nothings around who intended to mob him. He passed by Fleming, who accosted him, when JNlitchell halted and said, well, sir, what do you want?" At this time Fleming had a half dozen or more of his friends about him, all of whom were armed. Fleming said "you made a dastardly and cowardly attack upon me when I was not prepared for it, and I now pronounce you a coward." "Well," said Mitchell, "words are nothing now, what will you do?" Fleming thereupon repeated his de nunciation. To which Mithell replied, "you ... i . : . ,1 ..'Jtr nre a white man; wnat are you guis iu At the same time inviting those who stood about not to interpose that he and F. might settle, as it was a personal difficulty between them. F. made not the slightest demonstra tion of an intention to make an attack, and when Mitchell pronounced him a "wliipt man," and that words were nothing then, he (M.) turned and started oa when oaeofF's Know never yet abandoned their dreams of "Great Regula tors," "Protective Tariffs" and "General Bank rupt Laws."

Carolina State Dental Society met in this place on the evening of the 7th. The Presi dent, Dr. Bason, being absent, Dr. Bessent was called to the chair. Drs. Andrews and J. II. Wayte, of Charlotte, Hubbard of Newborn, and Tate of Statesville, were elec ted members. By appointment at last meeting, essays were read from Drs. Bason, Bessent and Gregg, upon subjects connected with the Dental prolession. At a subsequent meeting officers were elected as follows: Drs. Andrews of Char lotte, Trest.; Gregg of Greensboro' Yice l'rest.: Beubow of Fayetteville, Sec'y; Hub- of Wivlwrn. Treas.: Drs. Scott, of Washington, Gregg and Benbow, examining committee, through whom candidates tor ad mission will be offered to the Convention. Drs. Andrews, Hewlett, Scott, Tate and Benbow were requested to prepare essays for the next meeting. At a third session there was a very inter-estino- discussion upon the subjects of sensi five dentine, fillino- pulp cavities, abscesses fractures, deformities, &c., and their be treatment. Amonjr other instances ot pe culiaritv in dentition was a case of consid ernble interest related bv Dr. Andrews that of a voting man for whom he had re moved, within the last two months, eleven teeth from the space that nature usually supplies with only one. Also, that the young man stated that not less than eight or ten had from time to time been extracted from that same place prior to the 1st of Aug. Strano-e freak of nature, that so soon as one tooth becomes loose and is removed, another supplies its place. Drs. Andrews, Gregg, Bessent, Seott and Benbow, were appointed to attend the next smnnal meetiner of the National Convention of Dentists, in Cincinnati. Professional fees were unanimously agreed upon Prolonged ViTALifT of ce-eds. -Atwnt fifty years ago, some welf digers7 while pTnfcing a well forty miles from t?ie &ra, in the State of Maine, struck, at the depth cf twenty feet, a layer of sand. This strongly excited curiosity and interest from the circumstance that no similar sand was to be found anywhere in the neighborhood, "or nearer than sea-bead). As it was drawn np from the well, it ffls placed in a pile by itself; the workmen feeling an unwillingness to mix it with the stone and gravel that were also drawn up. But when the.work was about to be finished, and the pile of stone tHid gravel to be removed, it was found necessary also to remove the sandheap. It was therefore scattered about the spot on which it had been placed and was, for a time, almost forgotten. In a year or two, however, it was perceived that a great number of little trees had sprung up all over the ground where the sand was strown. These trees, in their turn, became objects of great interest, and care was taken that they should not be injured. At length it was ascertained that they were beach plum trees; and they actually bore the beach plum, which had never before been seen, ex cept immediately on the seashore. These seeds must, therefore, have stirunsr up from seeds which had existed in the stratum of sea-sand pierced by the well diggers; aud,untii this was dispersed in such a manner as to ex pose them the air, they remaiued inactive. By what convulsion of the elements had they been thrown there, and how lonpj had they quietly slept beneath the surface of the earth? FOREIGN & DOMESTIC. C.
