It appears from a very valuable document, prepared by Mr. Flagg, late Comptroller of the State of New York, that the follow ing is the valuation of the real and personal estate of the most important members of the Union: 'That of New York is 627,554, 784 dollars. Pennsylvania, 294,509, 1S7 dollars. Maryland, 100,000,000 dol lars. Virginia, real estate, 300,000,000 dollars, personal, not ascertained. South Carolina 200,000,000 dollars.

Referring to this document, the New Era observes: 'Old North Carolina is the only State which owes nothing and it is a distinction of which she may well feel proud. The "march of intellect" and the "credit system," which may well be ter med the compound elixir of moonshine and nonsense, have not involved her in difficul ties. Time will prove (it may take many yTenrs) that her policy of keeping out of debt, and living upon her own legitimate resources, is the widest of all. It is one of the grand discoveries of modern times, that the "credit system" of running in debt, which can never be repaid, is beneficial to individuals or communities."

A disease resembling Small Pox, though in a mild form, is prevailing in this County and Person, from five to se ven miles south of this place. It is not here, although reports to that effect have gone abroad. No, death has yet occurred from the disease.

Our State Legisla-. ture adjourned on Wednesday evening at T o'clock, after a session of 94 days. Among the last acts of that body, was the passage of a Bill introduced by Mr. Robertson, the Delegate from Richmond, which suspends the second section of the Bank Laws, pub lished in our last paper, until the 1st of Jan uary next. This section required thcBanks to confine their discounts within twice Iho amount of their Capitals paid in. The ef fect bf this suspension will be to relieve the Banks from the necessity of an immediate and heavy curtailmentand consequently, lp ease in some measure, the pressure in our money market, which is already beginning to be felt lo ao inconvenient extent. . .
