bills or north Carolina banks.
There Is in the possession of the people4
of North Carolina quite a large amount, in
the aggregate, though small in individual
cases, of the bills ot notes issued by the
Banks of the State. ; We presume that all
the Banks are disposed to redeem their
notes at their counters for what they es
teem them to be actually worth. We learn
that the Bank of Cape Fear, at its late
meeting, resolved to redeem its outstand
ing bills in greenbacks at 5 cents in the
dollar. We have good authority for savin?
that this is their full value, or the extent
of the ability of the Bank to payjit present.
Few who are acquainted with the affairs of
the Bank believe that it will ever be able
to do more. We judge, therefore, it is ad
visable, that holders ot the bills of North
Carolina Banks would do as well to present
the bills at the Banks as soon as possible.
or, if they prefer to risk it, they ran toon
deposit them with the several Commission
en, who may be appointed to settle their
a flairs, and receive in the end the pro rata
value ol their claims. Kaktek Stntinel.
