Thursday Morning, Nor 9, 1854. "Advertisements to insure insertion, must be handed in by Tuesday preceding the day of publication. State Stock Banks. The act to authorize and regulate the business of General Banking in this State, approred May 18, 1852, seems to us to conflict with the Sections of the Constitution authorizing the establishment of individual banks. The 7th Section of the 11th article of the Constitution lays: "All bills or notes issued as money, shall be, at all times redeemable in gold or silver, and no law shall be passed, sanctioning, directly or indirectly, the suspension, by any bank or banking company, of specie payments." It will be well to notice particularly, the wording of the Section quoted, and how determined its authors must have been to prevent a suspension of specie payment either "directly or indirectly,'1 and that the notes of all. banks should be 'at all times, redeemable in gold or silver." Past experience had taught our repre sentatives in Convention and a great majority of the people, the evil consequences of Bank snspensions hence the positive and. unequivocal requirements in the foregoing Section of our Stat- Constitution. The act authorizing the institution of those banks, authorizes the holder of their notes, after having demanded specie upon them, to have them protested for nonpayment by a Notary Public in the usual manner, and forwarded to the Auditor of State for collection, who shall forthwith giv-j written notice to the maker or makers of such notes to piy the same; and if not done within thirty days after such notice, the Auditor shall immediately (unless he is satisfied that there Is just and legal cause for such relusal to redeem) give notice in one of the newspapers published at Indianapolis, that all the circulating notes issued by such person or association will be redeemed out of the Stocks held by him in trust for thit purpose, &C. Thus the law controlling those institutions directly authorizes a suspension of twenty nine days, and the bill holder IS unable to help himself without the lightest compensation for his time and trouble, nor even a provision in the act making the banker responsible for the costs of protest. This was not the intention of the 7lh Section of the Constitution which we have quoted. The bank may suspend to-day, nnd in 29 days from this time, redeem its paper as fast as presented for one day, and on the next suspend and continue to refuse for 29 days more, and the bill holder never can indemnify himself according to the provisions of the act further than to get dollar for dollar on the Bank's issue. It is certainty the greatest species of folly to render it necessary by legislative enactment, that the banker having refused to redeem his paper must have a uritttn notice from the State Auditor, that if be does not do it, ho ill, (in thirty days) make it out of the stocks pledged as security. The banker knew this before. The law providing the bill holder sueh protection was plain before him. and his bank should be promptly closed upon the issue of the notice of the Auditor. Bank panics are generally of but short duration, but the effects produced by them are often lasting and injurious to eery branch of business. The intention in authorizing the issue of bank paper by law, is, that it shall be convertible into coin "of all tint; as our State constitution correctly provides. Should those issues read as a matter of fact interpretation make them read; t. e. The Tippecanoe Bank will pay one dollar to the bearer on demand, provided he is not in a hurry, and don't get this note protested, then in twenty-nine days after we receive notice from the Auditor of State that it is our duty to do so" ccc. With this filling up, dated and signed by the President and Cashier it might get such a run, that a lopeared hound could not keep trail, and we could not wonder that brokers and shavers should try the bottom of such issues, if they had any. Such is a fair reading of the Indiana State Stock issues, when the officers managing their affairs, see proper to make them so. We have no disposition to visit the sius of delinquint institutions upon the .heads of those that promptly ledeem their issues as fast as presented at their counters, one of which is located at this place. Vil another State Legislature adjourn without an effort to correct this error? That there is a gross error both in the act and in tha practical operations of the institutions it has created, there can be no doubt. Their trial was but an experiment at best, and aurely the people are iealiiing the benefit of what little experience they hate already had, and would gladly return to the old State Bank systam, and cheerfuIW welcome its re issues amongst them. ;

Thursday the 30th day of this month, is set apart ss thanksgiving day, and it would be a very appropriate time to give the printer what you owe him, by way of encouragement. How many shall we mark paid on thanksgiving day? io Sir-re. The Auburn Messenger says the 30th has been set apart by the Governor as a day of "fasting and prayer.' Our mode of doing snch business, is to make fast to a fat turkey shut up shop and cheerfully congratulate our neighbors give to the poor if we can find

any poorer than ourself and "in all things give thanks, 'The Bübble burstcd." There is scarcely an exchange paper that reaches us. but contains accounts of Kansas and Nebraska emigrants on their way to those territories. During last week over three hundied passed through Detroit, and it is two hundred or thre hundred and company after company that are reported by our exchanges as bound thitherward, and now the elections are about over and humbuggery worn completely thread-bare, the abolitionists and the Whigs and Demo erats they succeeded in gulling, claim the credit of thwartingand defeating the pur. poses of the Administration and all popu lar Soyereignty advocates. Their hypocracy and deception in charging Congress with legislating slavery into free terri. tory, is ouly excelled by their success in duping so many of the people, and the self evident truth that it was nothing but humbuggery. will render their organizations but short-lived, and the differen. stratagems resorted to, (secret conclaves included) will be a reproach in a short time, that but few of those concerned will like to bear. Let every candid and honest reader of all parties watch the result, and if popular sovereignty in the newly organized Territories is not the order of the day amongst the American people in two years, the question may surely be considered settled. Death of Gov. Francis Burt. Francis Burt, Governor of Nebraska, died at the old Presbyterian Mission House at Belleview, at about half past 3 o'clock this morning, retaining at the last hour a realization of his situation, and surrounded by the friends who accompanied him from his Carolina home. Immediately tipoi his arrival in the Territory be was confined to his bed by sickness, occasioned by the long and tedious journey hilherward, commencing, we are informed, npon renching the limestone country of Tennessee in his overland journey to Louisville. Ky. Retaining, about an hour prior to his death, a consciousness of his situation, he called his friends Mr. Doyle, who had accompanied him from South Carolina, to his be rlside, and gave such direction? concerning his private matters as the urgency of the cas seemed to demand; then calling Rev. J. Hamilton to his bedside, after a brief conversation, passed into that sleep which knows no waking. He was a native of Pendleton, South Carolina, and was about 45 years of age.

Omaha (Nebraska) Arrotc, Oct 13. Could the Livino Freight or the Ahctic have been Saved! This inquiry is now of but Utile importance, except so far as it may elicit facts and suggestions, that may be useful in future exigencies. In this view the following communication which appears in the New York Herald, is worthy of attention: The Arctic might have been 6aved by simply running her stern foremost. Here are the facts: Water, four feet below its surface, rushes into an adjuttage with the velocity of 16 feet per second, nt five. feet. 18 feet; at 6 feet, 20 feet pr second, &c; consequently, the Arctic, when running with her open bow first, at the rate of 10 knots an hour equal to 1G feet per second would double the velocity of a leak nt the depth of four feet; at eleven knots a depth of 5 feet; and at twelve, knots a depth of six feet, &c. On the contrary, had she been put under "stern way" at the rate of ten knots an hour, her velocity would have been equal to the velocity of the leak at the depth of four feet; at eleven kmts five feet; and at twelve knots, six feet. &c. it is clear, therefore, had she been put under"stern way,"it would hate brought the leak under the control of her pumps.

ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. Later from Europe A dran in Breadstuff Intelligente from the Seat of VTar, &&, fcc New Yok. Oct. 30. The Collins steamer Pacific arrived at hs wharf without being telegraphed. She brings Liverpool dates to the 18th. There is no news from the war. Dispatches, such as they are, are conflicting but it is authentic that, up to to the 9th October, nothing had been done. The allies number 90,000. They occupy a strong position south of Sevastopol, and have all tbeir siege apparatus landed Menschikoff yet holds the field north of Sevastopol with 30,000 men. and 20.000 more are expected by Oct. 15th. Latest accounts say that Gen, Canrobert ordered the Russian outposts to be drew in on the 9th, and batteries to be erected. Tn thousand additional French are to be supplied from France to the seat of war. The Biltic fleet will return homo without fuither operations.

Omer Pacha is preparing to operate on three points the Prulh.tho Dübrudscha, and the sea. Russia is amassing forces on the Austrian frontier.

A letter writer from Sandusky to the New York Times, gives nn account of the. detection and arrest of six men in that city charged with robery at tho Mad River Railroad depot. It seems that goods have oflen ben nnssod from the depot and from vessels, nnd the existence of a gang of thieves was certain, and means taken lo detect them in their depredations. An cmploveo of lhe road stationed him self in tho depot, and when the burglars commenced opening and rifling the boxes ho got sight of their faces by means of their own lanterns, nnd maiked tho boxos they opened. When tho thieves and tho "P' were going out of thn depot, the latter stepped on a loose plank, mid the noiso alarming the burglars, they turned, opened their dark lanterns, drew thoir revolvers, and cried out, "Death to any man in the Depot." The spy was too smart, and eluded the flashes of their lanterns, and consequently the balls of their rovolvcrs. The next morning six rascals wero arrested three out of one family, a father and two sons all being in tho employ of the Railroad. The boys wer check clerks. Thes" burglars havo been at work a yenr or more nnd have 6ent stolen goods up the lake. Parties nt other points aro implicated and will bo arrested. Wasiiinotok, Nov. 2. The Star learns that Major Emory, the U. S. Mexican Boundary Commissioner, dispatched one of his assistants to reach El Paso on the 30th September. in order to start the boundary survey at the date provided by the treaty. Mr. Wheaton, assistant, arrived at El Paso on the 15th October, ten days b fore the appointed time. Up to the 25th ult, he had received no information of the Mexican Commissioner, beyond a gue rumor that he and his party had been hemmed in by hostile Indians, aqd

would probably not reach El Paso till

November. The narlv of the American Commissioner, with their property in charge, were at last accounts two days' march from San Antonio de Bexar. Vonr Paper did not Come, Sir. We recommeud a careful perusal of the following plain statement, both to postmasters and to subscribers, from a paper called The Advance, published at Hernando, Mississippi: The uncertain arr'val, or uncertain delivery of papers at country post offices is oflen the ground of complaint against publishers and editors. Many of the of fices are poorly supplied with conveni ences for taking care of papers, no matter with what certainty they arrive. Then jumbled into a few little pigeon holes or piled upon-a desk, box or barrel to await the call of subscribers, in the midst of boots, hats. bridles, horse collars and other coarse wares, which may be called for during the day by customers. Country postmasters, in most cases, being engaged in some mercantile business, many'news papers find their way into some obscure corner, where they are hid for a time from human eyes, as completely as if burried in a mountain cave. In comes the man for his paper, and, as it cannot be found, of course it could not have come. The indignant subscriber consequently abuses the rascally editor, and perhaps, calls for pen, ink and paper, to write a letter of complaint about not sending his paper punctually, whn if ihe said piper were endowed with the power of speech, it would cry out, "Here I am squeezed to death behind this box or under this barrel." We have seen Just auch things at many country postoffict-s, elsewhere as well as in the 'country. These remarks have no reference toany particular office, but are meaul for all where they will app'r- " Good Advice. (ireely's Tribune has the following: Secret Societies A correspondent who has been induced to join a secret society whose real objects, as now revealed to him, he does not approve, and whose operations he believes calculated to do great harm, asks us what he ought to do in the premises. We answer Withdraw frankly, promptly and utterly. Your duty to your country and to your fellow beings is paramount to any obligation imposed on you by a secret society, and where the two come in collision the latter must gite way. This is the dictate of Religion, of Patriotism and of common sense. Keep out of all traps henceforth; but, if you have heedlessly run into one, get out as speedily as pov sihle. Having got out, you -.ill not need our advice to stay out. The Locality of Sir John Franklin's Death, Is described as near the mouth of the Birk, less properly called the Great Fish River, in lit. 6G deg. 30 min., and between long. 90 and 97 deg. A little north of these parallels, the Rack river, n!tr flowing five hundred miles in a rorth hasteriy uirecttuii from its source near Lake Aimer and the Eistern Slave Lake, enlarges into a bay, from twelve to fifteen miles in width, which forms a southern indentation to the channel by which. King William's Land is nearly encircled. This channel empties through Dease and Simpson's strait, into Victoria strait and King William sea. and connects, in nearly a direct Northerly line with Heel Sound, Barrow's straits and Wellington channel. At theentrance of this latter channel, on the Eastern shore, are situated Cape Riley, and the peninsula called Beech) island, where, it will be remembered, the Ub.ixnf.ll ship Rescue, and two 6hip under Captain Pennt, of Captain Austin's squadron, discovered simultaneously, the last signs of Sir Johx Franklin. A Ministerial Strike. Yesterday, at Urbana, the bell of the Presbyterian church rang the second time; the congregation sat waiting and watching, but no minister came. After the lapse of half an hour a note was handed to one of the elders, who arose anl read it to the congregation. It was from the mititer, who said he would not preach for them any ,T0re till hissallary was paid up. There's a clergyman of the right plutk. Why should a minister, any more than a shoemaker, mend souls without being paid for it? Columlu (O ) Fact. Immense and destructive freshets have taken place in many counties in Mississippi.

The flames at this moment aro spreading fearfully. DlOOlKG FOB Mo KV. TlIK FOOLS KOT all Dead Yet. Near South Bay, in the town of Fort Ann, there is a place known as the "Picket," where, in the old French War, Gen. Putnam with his Rangers, surprised and captured a body of French and Indians. Tradition says that large amonts of specie were buried in that vicinity, and for 50 or 75 year there has scarcely been a season in which somebody has not dug for it, but without getting paid for his pains. This profitless labor, for the most part, has been performed by per sons from a distance, to whom it is said,

the story of the concealed treasures has

been revealed. For a couple of weeks past, some men from Orwell Vt., have been assiduously digging up the clay dirt and "hard heads" of the Pickets," encouraged in their laborious task by the revelations of a fortune teller of this vil lage, who ''looks through a diamond," and designates the exact localities in which the precious stuff is deposited. Up to last accounts their search had been unsuccessful and they had abandoned the 'Picket and were digging in the doorvard of the man who boarded them. Probably he a-ill encourage their labors until he has got all their money for board and then generously advise them to quit. Another company said to be from Dresden have occupied the field on the "Picket" abandoned by the V-rmoute rs. and are prosecuting the search with all diligence. They will be more likely to succeed, as it is said they are believers in Spiritualism, and have procured the services of a "medium," through whom they invoke the aid of the "mighty men of vore." Thev called on St. Paul for help to remove a rock, which was in their way, who replied through the medium that he was engaged, and advised them to invoke the aid of St. Peter, which they accordingly did. Peter, they affirm, rendered ihem thi service asked for, for the rock immediately yielded to their levers. What deplorable superstition and con- ! sumate folly! Whiihall (N. Y.) Chron. We can place confidence in tho following as we came near getting thrashed once, by an indignant delegate to a political convention, for speaking of him as a "collogue" of another delegate from the same ward. One of the first official acts which devolved on Major llobbie, aftr hi appointment as Assistatit Postmaster General, was to announce to the incumbent of a small Post Office in B countv New York, the discontinuance of that nffioe. Tho letter written was in this wise: Washington, DeauSir. On account of your proximity to another office, this Department lias come to the conclusion to discontinue that of, and you will henceforth receive your letters anl papers at the office. Yours Respectfully. S. R. IIobbu, Ass't P. M Gen. To - Tho worthy Dogbarry in charge received this epistle, read it and shook his head He read it again and again, but there was one word thero that puzaled him. He went to one of the neighbors for advice who having been "Gustice of the Peas," for several years, and learned the precise diffbranco between a summons and an execution, was supposed to "know a thing or two. " Bnt ho too was at fault, anil onlv shook his head gravely as did the Postms ter. They, however, came to the sage conclusion that somebody was vilely traducing tho incumbent to the Department. and he was ndvised lo write a lobg latter in sslf-vindicn'.ion. which he did. Major llobbie in duo timo received nn elaborately written epistle fr"m the deeply injured functionary, and carefully noted its contents. The postmaster gave him tho history of his ancestry and of their worthy doeds. I believo that one of them "f.ut in the revolution," of course. He then told him of his forty years residence in II county, that he had been a Justice wf the Peace for years. and had given the best satisfaction lo his constituents; that he had been Postmaster for n number of years, and never heard any complaint against him. In fine that this was the first lime he had ever been charged with "proximity'1 the guilt of which ho indignantly denied! Upon his sacrod honor, ho h id never dono such a thing in all his life! It is said that some of tho Major1 vest buttons wero suddenly missing. a9 he finished reading this tritn epislln, and it was some time before he could tell one of his "Subs" to inform the euspient functionary that "proximity" was not a chargo affecting his moral character.

We have all a long believed that the troublri, contro flicts between settlers in Kjnsas existed more in the heated brains of designing scribblers than any where else. Many suppose that it would be as difficult to cet a Yankee and Southerner to shelter together in the same tent in Kansas as it would to have a lion and a lamb bunk to gether lit the same lair. It isall a mistake.
