Tie bank er whose deposites are running down knows it, and shakes bit head decisively to applicant for discounts. Tho xnerehant ia keen! acnaibU of it, when bo ia forced to aak an extension for sixty dajaon aomo of bia notes, If, in deed, bo ia not compelled to meet grim bankruptcy staring him in the face. Tbo manufacturer la aliveto it, when the bills for bia good return protested, cash talcs are next to impossible, and Saturday cornea round to find with an empty pocket, and a bank account down to nothing. Tho mechanio feels it, when tbo bos tells Lim, that there ia little business worth doing, and he must look out for work elsewhere The tradesman feel it, when, instead of the usual prompt payment, his col lector i told to call again, or to drop in about the first of January for the amount of that littlo bill, which, with others of the aame class, J was to swell up the aggregate, to pay for those last purchases of stock, f Touch but a sin gle nenre iamr.monetary or business system, and a thousand others answer with responsive sympathy. The business of the present year will be, and mustabe, below the arcr age. The long summer's drouth did diminish the crops in extensive district. Hogs will be numerous, but rot of tho best qu ality. The atory of the wheat crop ia already told. The country will not suffer, but must be economical. The farmer will defer building the new bouse or the new barn until a better year. The new buggy, an article of luxury, be bad lis eye on ainco the last harvest, will remain at tho carriage maker's. The good wife will wear last year's bonnet another winter. The girls will see less of tho new fashions, the piano, the front par lor, a ad a little more of the kitchen, and the boys will havo shorter terms at school and longer in the field. There will be no general, nor actual distress out side or the towns, but a necessity for retrenchment wherever possible. TITC DANK PAXIC. . . f By tho Banking Law, which was drawn up by Hon. W. Z. Stuart of Logansport, now of the Supreme Bench, the Free Banks are allowed 30 daya time to redeem their bills in coin, before their atocks in the State Audit or, office can bo sold. We infer from tho following in a paper at Logansport that they intend generally to avail themselves of this privilege, and thus head of! the runs of the brokers upon them by making them decidedly unprofitable. From tb Lor mi port Joarnsl. TUG DA KS. The Stock Banks of the State, with a few exceptions, have concluded to refuse specie for their notes presented by biokers and others, who have been so systematically draining them for tho last few mcnths. The law gives tho banks thirty days after the specie pay. ments are refused before the stocks de posited can be advertised for sale. When the banks tako advantage of this extreme remedy, it deranges tho plans of the brokers, and may break up their operations without serious injury to the institutions or the public. The game played by these Cincinnati brokers has effecd the depreciation of Indiana money east and west. It is discounted at ten per ct. in New York, and is current nowhere out of the .Bute. This is the effect of no bus Siciou of tho value of the securities eposited, but solely the result of the operations of the brokers, who make nothing when currency possesses pubconfidence, and only find profit in depreciating paper that they may buy it cheap and return it for specie. The necessity for the resolution of the banks is tobe regretted; yet none can blame them for adopting the only do fense they possess against those who regard nothing beyond tho per centum they so easily make. - The brokers are not able to wait ' thirty days in all cases. Nearly 11 the money they bring into the State for redemption is the property of Ohio . Merchants who havo deposited it with them, on call. They may spare time for a quick trip to a bank, but they crnnot risk locking up tho mooey for a month. Unless, .then, they invent some way of getting over the difficulty, . tneir business will be seriously inter . ruDted. The banks are just' as solvent now as they were six montns ago. Do positors are just as safe, and we pre sume the ordinary, proper demand for gold and silver will be duly honored. That's a Fact. If you want to learn the value of a dollar, go and labor two .dsys in the burning sua ss a hod cirri er. This is an excellent idea, and i many of our young gentlemen had to ; earn their dollars in that wsy, how ' much less dissipation and crime we 'would witness every day! So of our fashionable young ladies, if they, liko some of the poor seamatresses of our large cities, bad to earn their dollars by making shirt at ten conts apiece, how much less finery would be seen about them ; how much is ore truthful notions would they have of the duties of life and their obligation to the rest of the world. . . Tho discredit of the stuff called currency has had ono good effect. has made many a man pay his debts that was in no hurry to do so before 8oae have even paid tho printer.

D, Per sonally we have opposed degrees from the first, and full , disposed still to vpposo them. But, having tried them, our opposition has given way. We have seen and taken many degrees, but never havo witnessed anything equal to the "Purity Degrco" In this Or der. With some we predict Ahe "Fidelity Degree" th third will be the most popular, but with us it is not so. One striking feature of tho sons, as at present organised, is that female may be admitted to all the meeting of the Division, even the degree meetingt. They may witness all the ceremonies, of the Order. Wo doubt not, aided as tho sons will now be, by the prcs ence of the ladies, they will prosper beyond precedent. Thollatesllouss, laAlsmapolls The moment we saw our old friend Sloan, at tho Bates House, wo knew he felt better Ihn n when we saw him last at the old Capital House. No wonder. He has a new house and a large house, and it is well , furnished with good new furniture, and now ho canmaL'ihis guests comfortable. In our opinion any one who would com plain of the management of the Bates House, in tho hands of D. D. Sloan, ought to stay at home,Jor be compelled to eat at one of the one horse houses up street. By special invitation of n particular friend we went with him to hi hotel up street for dinner one day. And such a dinner! Is was not only badly cooked, but .it was cold. Cum mend us to D. D. Sloan's hotel, tho Bates House, and wc advise all lovers of good order, good rooms, and good dinners to go there. Tns Liquor Qcs STI05 is Nxw OaiiArfs Friqcisct or Mctidib. A New Orleans correspondent cf the 7V lu'ne says : '.'Ten Lewis, our Mayor, has issued -his proclamation for an election to be held on tho 9th of November, for the purpose of ascertaining the senso of the voters upon tho subject of granting or withholding licenses for the sala of liquor. Voters m favor of grog-shops are to vote "Grant License;' thoso opposed will voto 'mlh hold License." In the First District of our city, where the northern and wes ern men rciside, thero will bo a large majority in favor of Temperance, and there is a good prospect that in the Fourth District tho Americans will have a good vote; but in tho Second and Third Districts there will be a large vote in favor of irroir-shops. The Creole population do not like to seo pro gress of any kind and they will tob down the Temperance party. The best evidence that wo require a Manie Liquor Law, is the statement, mado editorially in the Trm Delta, that we have, on an average, one murder in ev ery eight hours. One tliousand and ninety-fivo murders a years in a city of ono hundred thousand inhabitants, is certainly a very large per centage. BAD 0Y8TZ2S. The Cincinnati GaietU of Tuesday says: "We learn that a few days since some fifty or sixty cases of oysters were Drougui 10 mis cuy, anu uavmg been too long on the tcoy, were refused by the consignees. The Express Co., by whoa they were snipped, having no other way to obtain their transporlauon ices, naa mem soia at pucnc auction.and the result was they brought eignty cents per case, each case con taining fourteen cans. It is evident that the purchaser or purchasers in tended to retail them out to the public t large, or the oysters would not have DcenbouzM. . .. Such oysters are usually sent out to country retailers, The only way, to avoid being imposed upon, is to know of whom you buy. Fortnnatelyi no reader of the American need be im posed upon. Mr. A. A. Colter, our Cincinnati correspondent, who 'does a general grocery business on the corner of Main and Seventh sts. Is a man who' can be relied upon in any trans aetion. He keeps a. good assortment of fresh and rpiced oysters which he will warrant, and which he will send. just as cheap "and just ns good, on an order, as if you go in person. Fami lies that wish' oysters can send directly to him. Ttoe LAwrcDceburr II. n. . We learnt from one of the Direct ore of this road last week, that, after paying expenses and repairs, it pays tbe interest on all the debt, . and di vides 10 per cent, to stockholders. The road is now in good order,' and well managed. It has been running a year, and not the least accident has happened on the road. The Valley Road will take nine tenths of its through busiscsa if it is completed. This will make it one of the best roads in the west, ' and we shall regret its abandonment very much, if such an 1 crent takes place.

Money matters are j ttfag wor.se and worse, and from present appearances will so continue for soma time. fWc doubt not that all, or nearly nil of tho fUte Slock Banks will be closed with in three months.

" We still believe that the paper, of the Brookviile Bank is sale, and wo are of opinion that it will not go below par in this county, even if it windt up its business The following is the circular' alluded to: , Omca or ArniToa or Stati. ) ' Indianapolis, Nor. I, '4. ) To correct an erroneous impression entertained by many persons, that the holder of notes or the Stock Banks, having them protested thereby acquires ft priority in the payment," the undersigned deems it his duty to state that such is not the fact. In case of the winding up of any bank under the statute, the notes not protested, are placed on the same footing as those which have been protested, and a dividend of tho assets will bo ma do

pro rata. ' Holders or notes should also bear in mind that the amount of the dividend would-be essentially diminished by tho cbsuandfees'of protests and expenses of salu assets. Tho undersigned has also determined, that in discharging his duty to all tbo creditors of any bank which may bo foiced into liquidation, he will not proceed to offer any of the assets of such bank in tho market, until after at least sixty days notice in New York, London, and Paris so as to insure the largest and best price for the securities, and not then, if, in his opinion, the ultimate interests of all concerned will bo promoted by a further exten cion. He ia, also, authorized to exchange the Stato Stocks deposited in his office as collateral by several of the Banks, at par for their circulation, when presented in sums not less than one thousand dollars. J. P. DUNN, Auditor ofStatc. LATEST rSOX WA&mOTOX. The Evening Star, a paper in Washngton, has some highly important news, it says that, "President Fierce was observed, mounted on a fine steed, on the Avenue;" also that he "looked remarkably well," and thus by a most diplomatic and statesmanlike coup d'etat he "contradicted the reports of come of the papers." Moreover, "it was most gratifying to his fellow'citizens and friends to seo him appearing in public in such apparent fine health and spirits." ' We hope all the readers of the American will be gratified too, to hear such good pews from Washington. The President "looks, well" and is in good spirits! We hope too, that the 'fine steed" th;f he rides in Washing ton, won't serve him aa the nice hobby did that he mounted last winter. He has been wonderfully cheated in stock heretofore. His fine horse. Gray town, aud promising colt, Cuba, and hopeul runner, Nebraska have all served him as his old war horso in Mexico did: they have brought him down by coming down themselves. Whether he fainted ir not on receiving the falls is not material. Ho was able to bo abroad last week "looking remarkably well1." Wc predict that he is now suffering with tbo holet again, as the news from New Vork, Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois and Wisconsin aro ar riving about this time. They are "powerful unhealthy" to people living in Washington. With all our leaning to temperance, we are half disposed to justify him in taking "a little wine" under auch cir cumstnnces, provided he takes is "only as a midicine jist," and does" not take enough to produce his accustomed af ternoon "sick head-ache," for. the Bi ble tells us to give wine to those that be of heavy hearts. ; Alakmso.

WAB XU XAKS AI TnZZATZJTED. The slavcites, failing to keep away

tho free etllers of the north, ar now trying to drive thorn away. Their method of operation is to pretend (0 haven prior right to every spot of ground on which northern men m ttl. They then paiado guns and men to drive them off. Perhaps they will succeed ? In ether day,.ueu. disputes would have been comyromiteH by the pencible withdrawal of northern mgn, following the example of their representatives' in Cöngres, who Have fülU'n back" from' every position that f iai displeasing, to the South. But another and a belter day has dawned. tlojvople have removed the eowsrd ly things that feared tho Southern bullies in Congress, and have supplied their placo with mcx. And tho following account of ono of many such demand in Kansas shows that me have been sent to Kansas as well as to Washington. Wo copy from tho Boston Atlas, adding only that wo hope if freedom must meet slavery on the field of bloody conflict, let it be done soon. Let not freemen yield one inch. Tho first notice that .the Yauki-cs had of the commencement of hostilities, a woman- -n double Amazon, perhaps wus seta putting the tent into awagou, with two or three men to back her with rides. Immediately the announcement was made, a Yankee, by the name of Bond, seized tho horso by the bridle. Ono of the said riflemen presented tho muzzle of his weapon to the said Bond's head, who immediately responded with a revolver, with tho polito request for his enemy to fire. II, however, thought better of it, nnd allowed the tent and olhvr property to bo replaced, saying, however, that ho would have ono thousand Missouriana on the spot in a short time. Ho was told that such an arrangement would bo satisfactory to U4, and wo would await their arrival. No ono appearing, howevor, except omo twenty or thirty Yankees, all hands went to their dinners and tu their work. Tho ncxtday, Ctli of October, A. D. 1854, soon after dinner, the 'thousand' Missotuians began to assemble in the neighborhood of the tent; but our men kept about their work till four o'clock P. M., when the following 'declaration of war was delivered to the agent of tho Emigrant Aid Company, by thice mounted field marshals, supposed to be: "Kansas Territory, Oct. Cth, 1851. "Dr. Robinson: Yourscl I and friends aro hereby notified that you will bo allowed one half hour to mow the tent you have on my undisputed claim. If the tent is not moved with in one half hour, wo shall take the trouble to move tho same. John Baldwin and friends.". The following was immediately sent to the camp of the enemy, in answer: "To John Baldwin and friends If you molest our property, you do it at your peril. u. KonrNsoN ana menus." The messenger who carried the an swer was told, in reply, that "the tent would bo removed." Accordingly some thirty of our men, who happened to be in the vicinity, took their position at a respectful distance from the scene of operations and quietly awaited the expiration or tnc urst nan nour, anu then the second, and then the quiet dispersion of the 'thousand Missouriana,' who went away muttering that one week from that time they would have fifty IhoKisnnd Missourians, and then the tent would bo removed. We have offered to abide by the de cision of any jury under the settlers' aws, or by the united fetatcs Jaws, in any dispute touching the possession of any property or land here; but this will not answer tbo end soagnt, wnicu end is to drive all Yankecdom from the territory. This is the real issue, although the pretence is something else. How it will be met, the luture will develop. TnrroBTmcATZ. Wa aro Informed bv one of the State officers that Wm. R. Nofsinger, the People's candidate for Treasorer, is f robiblj beaten, by so erroneous print nor of the name on the tickets in seve rat portions of the State. Some four teen thousand votes were civen for Wm. f. Nownger, and Wm. i. Nofsinger, and the votes with the right namo will hardly be enough to overbalance the huge blunder. Whether the certificate can issue to him, under this state of facts is very questionable. We have not ex smined the statute, but wo have serious doubts if any provision can obviate tho difiicultjr. Some six thousand votes wero cast for Hiram A. Talbot for Auditor. This mistake ia not yet large enough to do feat him, or put bis election In doubt, but it is bossiblo there mav be more of the same srt. This will be a most unfortunate result. but for all we can sea, it may be Irreme diable. Whether tho obvious intention of the voter can be taken when tbo vote is cast for another person, is hardly an open ouestjop, but we should bo g'.ud to near irorn some or our lawyers on iqib ooint. The Question promisee to be of serious importance, and we hope ft will be thoroughly Inestlgatea. tnaianap oli Journal. With duodefenso to our cotemporsry of tho Journal, we think there can be no dificuity in this matter. In . tho first placo it ought to bo well known that th e law knows nothing about middle names. This has beeu settled by the Courts.All that a name la for I to designate persons. Had a part of the votes been given simply tor Dr. Nofsinger, and oth ers given for Mr, NoMnger, snd others for William Nofsinger, e think there suit would be the same. Common sense would say so, and the law docs say. "No ticket shall be lost for want o form, if the board ofJoJges can deter mine, to' their satisfaction, the person voted for and tho office intended." No one can doubt that Dr. William It. Nof singer, of Park County. Indiana, a aou In-law of the lamented Tiglman A, How ard, of said county is the perso.j vot ed for under all the above names.. It is as manifcatas if the whole had been print ed. Gen. Paesis about to headafillibus tcring expedition against Venezuela,

Hjr' Among the good things that next Legislature will do, will be sub mitting to the people the question of restoring the provision of the old constitution relating to tho qualifications of voters. It requires voter to be citizens of the United States. Swiogett suggests our predecessor, Clarkson, as a suitable person to tako chargo of a Whig paper at Indianapolis. As wc are sure Clarkson will do no such a foolish thing, we rrooso tho distinguished editor of the Tele graph, ns a suitable person. Ho first suggested the idea of trying the experiment of raising tho dead by a Whig paper at tlic capital. The Richmond Jefertonian is won derfully displeased that we are not sanguino in our hopes of n prohibitary law next winter. With a senate against us. or at best doubtful, and an old line Governor, why should we hope? Keep cool neighbor Elder. We intend to have a prohibitory law.

It is glorious to crack bickory-nuU and jokes around a roaring fire Wc have had "summer sunsluno" to an extent thnt Wagstaff would call a "turftitinj acmy." I say welcome, then, to burly, limrdcl oU Winter! The t leetiou is now fairly over, and Luhe result has gono forlh. You may easily imagine tint wo Buckeyes are proud of the sublime tand Ohio has taken. Ills glorious. Such n mighty demonstration of the people fctrengthens one's faith in popular governments; it increases our hopo that the "bettor day" is coming: it gives us greater confidence in human nnturv, Ami in a great many ways asido from tho immediate r' sult it will do a great deal efpood. I do not reioice over the result of the late election in any part'xtn spirit atlewtlam not aware of having any such spirit but as an American and a Protestnnt, I do reioi e with a joy that is unfeigned. I nave no hope of ever seeing Slavery abolished in the United Plates. Liko the iafamous liqu. or trifllc, itpays well; it is profitable; and hence the difficulty. But wc may keep it within its present limits vt ry easily, and I trust wc thftll do it. ""So more slave territory." I am ready to fight under that banner any day. I made men lion in r-ome former letters of tho number of female seminaries being erected here. One of them, under the auspices of the New School Presbyterians, is rapidly advancing to completion. It will cot, building and endowment, over one hundred thousand dollars I was greatly surprised to hear the other day that tho Metho dists, in the "regions round about" Oxford had contributed a very large portion of this amount. Surprised, not at thij liberality, but their ability. I didn't know they were nble to support so many schools of their own, and assist their neighbors also. Itisl arcly possible,' however, that some of them have been taien in blightly, by the announcement in the circular that the above school is to be, in no tense whatever, a denominational one. They may not have understood that such an announcement was a mere coup d'etat whereby the unsophisticated were taken. It is possible that I. may not understand what constitutes a sectarian or denominatial echoed; but if all the Trustees of a school belong to a particular sect, and all the teachers beong to the same sect, I would call it a sectarian school. I do not object at all to such arrangements; nor do I object to having one denomination help anuother; but I to object to what looks like "getting money under false pretences." Old Miami University is prospering. The number of students is greater than usual, and under the judicious and able management of Prof. Stod dard, the acting President, everything moves as regular as clock-work. Dr. Hall, the President elect, has not yet come on. We have a small quarto monthly sheet published here now by an association of students, called the "Anglicist." It is conducted with great ability, but is published too seldooi to meet tho wants of the Oxonians.There are more newspapers taken here than in any town in Ohio or Indiana eleven twice its size. . Yours truly JOHN SMITH. For tho Americas. ASTOITISHETO DISCOVERY. One of "the Doctors' of this coanty, has just made the disconcry that Cholera and Dyspepsia, were unknown and man was free from those dreaded diseases until the Temperance reform was first agitated in this country, and if we wish to place man in n healthy state again we must prevent the adoption of a nrohibitorv law. as such a law would, if enforced, be the cause of sweeping this land with thes dread ful scourges by cutting off the supply of Whisky. That Dr. had better get his life- insured, for if he should happen to "shuffle off this mortal coil," science will never have another tar of his magnitude. S. Ma, Goodwi.w The author of the following is unknown to tnc, but as it is one of the good things on Ruin perhaps you will give iC an insertion in your paper: . .. "The Railroad to Hrii." Surveyed by avarice, chartered by countv courts, freighted with drunkards, with grog shops for depots, rümsellers for engineers, bar-tcndrs for Conductors, snd landlords for stockholders. Fired up -with alcohol and boiling with dclerium trenv ns. Tho groans of the dying are the thunder of the trains, nnd the shrieks of the women and children are the whistles of the engines. By the help of God we will reverse tho ste.m, put out the fire, annul the charter, and save the freight." I would merely say that nearly all the officers of the Iload in this country are of foreign birth and havo come here to enjoy our free institutions ar,d we are mainly indebted to them for having one branch of the Hand in this tatc. a.
