Last evening, ah -ut seven o'clock, the hill at the lower part of the c ity !i 1 dow .i, cov ering up houses barns, A. e. with men, women, and children in them. It has covered up every thing half vva to the river, passing over si.vth, fifth, and foiiitlt streets to third Sfrect. Never was there greater consternation. The wh'de citv is alive, and on the spt, with ttiouands f.o.n oth -r place, dtg'iia out the dead. They ii ive f .ord eight dead bodies, and 1 H horses. It is i .11 -.. i-;,l)!o i i s.:v how many lives are lost. 1 have iju-t c on' from the spot, and 1 saw them dig out two lift!:.: children, lying in a trundle bed, sleeping the sleep of death, without a bruise upon them pro baly mn .there, J. V.'herc l' .uith slreot was, the earth is at least siv f .'i t high. There were not in any houses near the spot, but what were, are buried. It is calcu lated that seven buildings, each occupied by two or three families, are destroyed. There was a house upon the hill w hich has not been discovered. I was fitting in my house, and heard a rumbling noi-e, like distant thunder, and went to the door, and saw a light in the South and a cloud coming o-er the city, and soon gmrc fell like hail. Soon the bells conmieueed rmgiog, and I went to the yp t immediately. The brick-kiln was carried a hun dred rds and was on lire. It gave light enou jh to m c the horrible and novel scene. To add to the dreadful feublime, tlicwa 'T fo-m ing down the hill in a torrent. It n now evident thtt the earth ahotit here is vo-ranic, or that the water comes from the mountains east of us. The swamps that is not filled up w ith earth, is fdied with water. It is a melancholy day with us. Another Street Fight. On Monday afternoon last, the repose of our hitherto jx.act f'nl town, was disturtted hv a couple of men. formerly from Cin cinnati ; and w bo chancing to meet each other here, resolved to fight out an old grudge. Two sh .ts a' i-ce were exchanged with pistols-, but neither of ihee proving effectual, one of the parties struck the other over the head with a spado, knocking him down, and cutting hi- face fiightliillv to peices. After a few minutes the wounded man sufficient- Iv recovered himself to take another shot at his an - - . i i i .i i. tagenist with a rifle; this like the others proved inefb.ctual, save that the escaping party received three bullet holes in the skirt tf Lis coat. A spec tator of the fight was also slightly wounded in the back. Such is the effect of coentenancing the practice of wearing deadly weapon-. S veral of our lost citizens narrowly escaped If-ing shot, a the balls of the fighting parties were beard to w hiz by their ears. When, we again rej at, will our citizens act on this subject.

J Still, wherever the scheme is pre.-"i'"d anew, it s but r.ntiir d to expert ip;ositioa from tliis fjuarter; nad it ther'ore t' -comes the more ncceysiry, that ever man should form his own op.nion. Alter ail, when ihe nutter is once explained, tr-re is no gr -ft mtery nlfiiit it. A Hank is no more than an association of in-div- hi'ils, w ho, each liavin- some money to spare, agree to add it together, f r the purpose of lending it eit to those who want it. Such a coinpmy, when confined to this object, can do no sort of harm to the community. (In the c"ntr-ir7, both p.-irties are benefited the bor rower by the accommodation, the lender by the interest he receivi's in return. It is not until tiiis company be gins to issue Notep, which pastas money frorn hand to bund, that the public becomes intere.-ted in their do ings. Th-Te is then a danger that the unwary :my be taken in. if the company issues nv.rc of th se .Notes than they fire able to pay and a contingent dagger nriy al-) arise, that by inducing the peop'e to take their Notes 'vhen they have no nctnal need e.f money, the company nny, as the merchants call it, force business. It is requisite that careshoa! i b-" tnk'-n to guard :'gain.-t these evils, find it will n-e- nt'y he seen in tbe case before fl, llat tKr pr-cnitiori3 uroctmpiv ?-ttTioi',".t. Rut inasmuch as this Hank 'hirtcr is proposal, me re ly ns a means and i -iducement To the m iking of the ltail Road, it further becomes ns to provide that, while on the one hand, .saihoient advantages must he oirered to induce individual:- to make the Uoid ; so, on the oth er, precautions must be tak n to compel them, while enjoying the profits of the Hank, to take the burthen of completing the Iload. This njuipoise, it is thought, has been fully attained by the provisions of the present Cbirter, as will appear by h brief consideration of them. In the first place the Hank can have no separate ex istence, and an interest in it cm only be obtained by firt subscribing to the Kail lioad. I-"i;rht inillious must be actually subscribed to the Rail Road, before t'ie Hi iik can be filled into existence; and then, each subscriber to the Rail Road can only h ive fdH' dollars in the IJmk for vt.i-y hiimlred he tias ultscribed to the Rail Road. Tie.ve subscript ion are then made insepa rable ; so 1 1 1 x t a stockholder cannot sell one without the other. And although his Rail Ruad Stock is made Ha bit? to pay the o'.-i ts of the.ii.mk, he has not the corres ponding advantage of making the Bank liable for 'be Rail Road debts. Neither is fie permitted at anytime to withdraw from the Riil Read Company, n by forfeiting- what he has paid thcru, but he must alo forfeit his Hink Stock. His interest in the Hank canno be increase.) until the Road passes entirely through North Carolina, and if within five yeHrs, three millions worth of expenditure be not made on the Road; or, if within ten vear-, 1M millions worth be not expended, or the Road finished to Kentucky or the Ohio; or if the work at any time be suspended a whole y-ir, the Rank loses its charter. The capitnl, with which the Hank may commence, is to l about a million, to be increased as the Road advances, and it cannot be extended lieyon.i six millions until the Road successively retches Tennes see nnd Kentucky. Under these provisions it would seem to me not to be 1 question, wluther sufficient prec-iutio'is are taken against the Rink, but wlethcr, with all lhr-o restne t nrf, individu ds can be induced to t ike the Stock I trust that the anticipations of those who brined the charter mnv be rc;dizeti that the Stock m .y be sub scribed and the work progre.-s. He that as it mry, th fpirstion for your present determination is, whether the charter such rs it is, sufficiently guards against the in ffictinnsof public evil, and ensures the inakihg the road. Or in other words, whether for the Fake of the road and its advantages, this State will charter the Rink. Satisfactorily 'o decide ties matter, it seems to me tint three considerations remain to be sett let!. 1. Will the capital to be created by this Rank, be probably absorbed by the actual wants of the Slates in which it asks a charter ? U. Are sufficient precautions taken to secure the public from loss tuti its notes? 3. Is the existence ot the Rank made dependent upon the conduction of rho Road, nnd are the public sufficiently assured that tl e Bank cannot abandon the Road 3nd exist without it ? The 1st nouit a pjars to me to be settled by a mere statement of facts. At present the trade over the route of this road into South Oaroliaa and Georgia amounts to three millions of dollars. The whole circulation of this region is thnt of Southern Ranks, and if the? Rinks n w contemplated were merely to supplant this circu lation, (w b"u h it would certainly do) a demand would at or'co lo established beyond its power of supply. The Capita! of the Hank will, nt its commencement, proba bly not exceed a mill'on of dollars, and this cannot be increased leyond two millions or thcreafouls, until the road itself has made considerable advance. Whoever is acquainted with the subject will perceive, that this capi'al can be absorbed in South Carolina alone. Rut when the Road is extended into North Carolina, alien 'ant demand f "" cmital will at once be create!. Take but one article. Suppose an outlet made for the Iron of Lincoln. Instead of the diminutive establish ments which cow exist, works of an enlarged character will be constructed, and if but a few of these were in opetation, a million ot dollars could soon be advatita geouidy used. Kxtend trie sitae facilities to the Zinc, Jx-ad and Tin Ores, which are said to exist m this re gion, and the demand is vastly increased. If, :s I am mformrd, the Tin Ores in the western part of the istate, are a; abundant as any abr.xid, and w ithin the I medium, lor this reason, you O ne heieto'bre teen reacli of transportation, here at once is a source both of j unable to put your State Bank A'otes in ctrculjtron in demand for capit d and of inconceivable wealth to your j this quarter; and the contest wui therefore between country and this Rad Road will penetrate the very j the Rink now proposed to be chartered, and the re-ter-regioii of its location. Hat there is still another vast ! o. ent-oiij and unknown mull tuuo wii eh now suppt the mine of wealth within your reach. The hemp raised ! demand. Is it not oa :o-us, thai a IJtnk hivimra Cb.ir- in your muimuiii districts, and near the route of tins', Road, is said to be omul to any in the world. The counties of Run. -umbo. Burke.

The hemp produced 5 has tue advantage ot manufacturing Cotton bagging heavier and belter than tint imported from Mil rope. Tilts, iit once, will ensure it a market because the iia.s of col ton being sold by weight, the additional weight ot the bagging tells in the Planter's account. Slight as this advantage would seem, it would give you the whole domestic market, and when you consider that the consumption of the South amounts to ahout two millions ot yards. -ou will at once see another source of increasing demand f -r capital. H it suppose that the energies of your countrymen are once properly directed to the water power, so ad vantageously located in healthy and fertile region throughout your State; and then 1 ask, whether too much capital could be offered the ... There is no rea- .o'i, other than the want of resource's and outlets, w hy another Lowell may not be erected on the Ranks of the Catawba. Here the advantages presented by nature are superior to ihohe existing in Massachusetts. atei yet there, they leave built a town anJ have set up man ufactories, whose united capitals already exceed ten millions of dollars. Surely it cannot be contended that, in a country- from whence they have to send to your shores for y ur cotton, and after working it into f ib r:es, reairn it to you tor cotisumptton, laden with the e.pi.!vs of these v rious transportations ; that in such a country, t.'iey have at! v intages over von, w ho, w itn one Ji.-n.!, can pluck the cotton fit). a your fields, and vvi'h the other, cm o.'f r it to the consumers around you. It is obvious that x the smallest exertion on war part, ia the mo.-t ordinary stjte of things which these roads will proiuce, then wdl bo a !e;;,and far exceeding the powe r ev n of this Rink to supply. J. Let ns then cons.de r whether, under the charter proposed, Miftic'ent precautions are taken for the esd cncy ol trie il-ink and the payment of hie notes. W hat are its means of navment! First, its capita! must be m-d in Suecie or its equivalent, into the vaults! of the Ranks of th.'e State where siihscrinri-ms ar- ta- np ken and this capi; .1 furntsh-s i's primary means of payment. Ti.f n such debts as may become due to it, wi'h the profits and other it-;. wh:ch it i.-.ay ac.i re, will be supers-!rd. I .. -.' are t.ll the securities usu ally furnehetl by other Rinks. Rut tins Rink oife.s beyond all tins, the liability of the whole Rail Road capital, amounting to twelve millions of dollars, with ail tiie property of the company, and the p rsoml cred it of its individual stockholders, as far as they are bound under the charter. When th-; capital of the Rank in-crea-ec, its notes are still further secured by a Rail Road with a deti'le track, t C entire extent from Charleston to the l'ranesvee, Kentucky and Ohio line success. vely ; together ith ad the. r -al Kstate, D-pos-Uories, Kngines and materials appertaining tiiereto. It may safely be affir.ned, that uo Bank in the United Mates can oiler eeual security. But its solvency is still further secured by the pre cautions taken to prevent over-banking. Its issues are limited one-third below thease allowed other Banks. It is denied the nrivibilge of lending, either iijion its own or the Rail-Read stock, until three-fourths of the capi tal actually paid tn, and then it can only lend to the extent of orie'-half. It cannor permit the- Had Ra.i j red your tili ti!ce.

Rut there is yet another provision vvhu n is oar:."--ularly important, inasmucli as it not only operates as a resliaint, fait consults the dignity of each of the Slates granting the Charter. The act requires Reports to be made annually to tiie respective Legislature-., not only the condition of the Parent Bank, but of all the Brandi es. This gives a supervisory power to each 1-i'ila-t lire; and by requiring a Branch to be in each Mate, the laws of "each can be made effectually to operate up on the whole corporation. Withonta Branch, it would he titticult for any f the Slate-s to act upon the institu tion, but with that provision, not only process can be serve'd, but can indue course be enforced by the Courts. Another salutary effect results from the establishment ot a Branch within the State. A place is thereby pro vided within your reach, at which tiie Notes may be redeemed; and in case thy re received at the Treis urv. specie can be demanded tor them within the limits of the fstate and the soundness of the currency there by tested. Ihivip" thus exhibited the means taken to ensure a sound currency, let us pass to the last remaining con ''i-ration are sihiicient precautions taken to compel The Bank to have the Read constiucted ? On ties paint, there can exist not even a donbt. R f i the Rank can be created, eight millions must first U- subscribe to the Road. Then, the Road must at no time be suspended for a year, or the Charter of the Boik is 1 stl Moreover, if an expenditure of three millions w ithin ten years, thea Charter is forfeited. But besides- nil this, the Bank capital cannot be increased beven ; three millions, until an amount equivalent to anv co. tem;iatcd inc ease shall have been first called in "and expended on the Eod. It cannot even then be increased bey -and six millions unld the Road reaches Tennessee; nor beyond nine millions, until the Ro.id reaches Kentucky; nor can it reach twelve millions until the Road is constructed to Lexington. The Rail Road funds are put in charge of separate Rard of Directors and the payment of their instalments bv the MitWribers is seeured by their being subject, in cik-o of default, not o.dy to forfeiture ot what they have mid to the Rail-Road, but also to the Rink An I when it is observed, that in the commencement, the payments on each share in the Link w!d be twenty dollars in ad- I vance of the payments to the Rail-Load, tbi lortemirej will b3 a serious check. Then there can be no srueot ; B oik Stock, unless the purchaser charges himsf 'f with corresjvmding Rad-Road Snare; and the two are in separably united. With these precautions, it will be impossible fur the Dunk to get along without making the Road. . . Havin-r thus considered the various provisions en the Charter, it is hazarding little now to atTitm, that the public can suffer nothiiiL' fremi ibis Bin!:, and that the , m our powt . ... .... ..w... , . advantages present etl to North-Carolina hy the Rone, Come, an-i our country must succumb---v e ,o, have are cheaply purchased by a grant of th Banking luivi- done our utmost t avoid it; we s,a 1 have .scnarged tos novv asked.
