of American agriculture and commerce, we have
accidentally met in thia city, in the midat of cri
ei which diwlow tome strikingly imomerrtou fea
lure in the history of tliii mcMt important branch
of the trade of our country.
When the Cotton Crop of the United State was
mere item m its trade, and did nut reach t pro.
ductiaa exceeding five hundred thousand bales, it
was perhaps safu to consider it aa 6oe among raa
ny arlietes of barter and exchange, which, loft en
tirely to the fortuitous circumstances of commerce,

Times, however, have changed. Cotton has
passed from tlie condition ofa mere article of com
merce to the perfi trmsnee tthe mighty function
of being in a great degree the regulator of the ex
change, and the standard of valubof our cotwitry.
If the nature of this material forbids it entering

Having; thus imlicatid the principles on which "
tlie propped system mtmt find it justification and
basis, we will as succinctly as pomible, detail the
mean to carry it into efP-ct. ",
We are far from imputing 'any premeditated
hostility of the Bank of England to American in
terest, on the contrary, it is one of the benevolent
influences of commercial intercourse to promote
peace and good will among nations and men,. '
Hence this great engine of the commercial gran-,
deur and opulence of Cireat Britain, acting under
an enlightened instinct, mdM rather desire that its
best cuttomer should at all times be in a condition -to
meet her erigagemeuU with eutire punctuality
and success. -
But there are epochs in thoorrimerce of Eng
land, whether from irwufticieot harveuls, a languid
demand for ber manufacturers, or political combi.
nationa, when the bank may from an urgent policy
hmit herdi&itftirilf aiid llicreas her fittToftoWHIatr
Tins event can never occur, without its having a
blighting influence on any surplus of our great sta
ple which might be unsold in England. Surely if
the Bank of Eogland can exercise unavoidably an
influence thus prejudicial, we may resort to our
own American banks, as a means of security and
protection, without tlw invidious clamor of combi
nation and monopoly. It ia time that the absurd -and
senseless cry on the subject of bank making
advances on cotton should be understood, and final
ly put down. Tbe truth is that by the mere pur-
J!Ma of the fureiitn. excliange of the cum
they advance on nearly every bile of Cotton sub.
j:t to tornign export, and thi with'Mit the securi
ty the bill of lading and policy of insurance, on
lheNqere permal responsibility of Ilia drawers
and endorsers of the bill ilonce these losses' are
most comprehensive, and disastrous after every
coinmerciuf criiti and revulsion. - . '
Now we propose giving to the banks in all cases
th higlier protection of these sccontten, and that
early next autumn, 'frne or, more banks in each of
the great commercial cot too markets of the South
should commence makihjvadvances on the crop,
accenling to a scale to bo graduated by what will
be a safe calculation of its prolwble amount, as
suming 12 1 cents at homo to be about the fair na.

wise you would take no notice 6f hirnrIf OUT '
knew him as well as the people of Kandolph do,
you would pass him by with contempt.-- His abuse -of
Mr. Fisher does ho sort of harm where Burt is 1
known. When Fisher first came down he spoka
of skinning liim, but was told that lbs best way'
would be to take no notice cf him, for fear he might
give Mm so'me consequence, and excite pity for the
creature. IawitlLFiaLie

I think you can buy him over for t'id.. Buy him,
said Fisher, why I would not give i5 for biui if

A year or two ago Ben went to Raleigh to soo
the Legislature in Session. One evening he star,
ted homo just before" niht," pretty well;:", corned "
and came out a mile on this side of Town, where
he mistook a houe for a Tavern, lie hitched his
horse to a limb, and went in with his sjiocs on his
nose. A set were fiddling, drinking, and dancing.
And being unable to resist the temptation, Ben
soon joined them ; be took a lew swigs occasion-,
ally, and after spending the night in this way,
tumbled over towards morninir, and was robbed by
Soma tj bi cuiupmuDM of Ins money. - ''- '

to bimsulhe never eould find hi horvfr again.
Not long ago he got into one of hi ways, and
swore good whiskey was the best thing in na'ure,
where there was "plenty ot it; hrluvetf 'K bWtter-
than milk or honey. lie said ha made it a rule

Some wajs notions aao tried to iret him to hioid
dowd a Well to hunt truth. He said, he didn't.be v
lieve it was there, for a brother Editor had tried it "
and Couldn't find it. But, said the wag, suppose -there
was plenty of whiskey down in the well
wculdii'lvoutak lb jwpthw May be I wight,-
said Ben, for whiskey, but not for truth.
, The other day at the muster, after Fuher had
made his speech about the Choctaw business, and
while hp was talking to a "circle of men, one of
Heiulcison's friends stepped up 'and remarked,
Uie Choctaw, agent, according to your account Mr.
Fisher, wa a shocking drunkard. Yes, said Fish-
er promptly, he waa a great a drunkard as Boo
Swaim. . .. - . '
These little facts will give you some idea of his .
character ; they are very good illustrations, I as.
sureyou. "- ; ';;'r ""''-.:?-..
. Aod this is the maa th Caucus hired to do their
dirty work, and dictate to the freemen of the Dis
trict who they should elect to Congress.
You have no idea how the Caucusitea are going
on. They would do anything in creation to beat
Fisher. Since Fifhor took tbe round in thia
