PLYMOUTH IND. Thursday Morning, Nov. 16, 1854. ☞Advertisements to insure insertion, must be handed in by Tuesday preceding the day of publication. Delphi Paper Mills.—The two last lots of printing paper sent us from the Mills of Messrs Robertson & Wood of Delphi, Ind., will favorably compare with any paper manufactured in the west. lS5-i A year of unparallelled accidents and misfortunes, 1SD1 h3S been. It would be a truly revolting picture to turn from page to page of a history of the events of this memorable year. The Erie Railroad troubles by no means head the catalogue of enormities, nor is the loss of the Arctic first on the calender of lives and pr. rty lost, though in its details, prop ' as horrifying od extensive as a wajority of the accidents. The immense butchery of human beings upon tbe different railroads, is a mattet of no small mention in the list of deeply interesting incidents; nor is the extra vigantloss of human life and property alone confined to railroads but upon our laks and rivers -have ttiaiiv heart rending and hazardous scenes occurred. The losses by fire have probably never been excelled during any! previous year, particularly in the east- j rru, northern and Northwestern Cities and towns. Five hundred million dolhrs would probably fail to return the lost property occasioned by those causalities, an 1 the number of human lives lost ran vary but little if any from half a million. inoiig the number of incidents fraught j with the most intense interest, may be mentioned the exciting and important struggle between Russia and the allied powers a trouble of- neighboring nations, yet one in which a protestant ptople can but feel a deep interest on ac- J tount of the causes which created it. Incidents leading to the discovery of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his comera des, are eiciting the deepest interest. nr.d it true, will lorm a page in tiie ins- ... . f I tory oi uns truiy eveuuui year iu uv lung i sought, read and remembered. Indeed a history of the incidents and utisfortuues of the year 1S54, would form a volume that would be sought and read with greater avidity, and prove of fr greater utility than Hot Corn or Uncle Tom's Cabin. Who will be its compiler? The Bank (luction. There is uo question that more deeply interests the great mass of tho people nt this time, than that of the currency of tho country. There is not a man engaged in any branch of business whatever no matter how small it is but what has an interest at stake in the proper creation aud regulation of this great controlling influence of our commercial intercourse Under existing circumstances, there never was nor never will be a more propitious J Unit for a calm and deliberate discussion o ,i:,..,,;o,i I of this question, than now just now. We are all very well aware that the currency is in a ccufused aud distracted state.

and about that fact our readers have heard (mburrassment? A uliipHc.'ty of modes sufficient; but for a rcvitdyi lasting i operation at the same tin;? i the djfand sufficient remedy, they most anxious fereut States, and all as experiment, oply and properly look; and we arc truly ete disastrously- Ech State with it pleased that so far as we have seen a man-1 ou'. but a different plan of a State insti-

ifestation on the part of the press or the) reonlc. since we first broached the onestion, it has been favorable to a mild and peaceable inquiry after sure and permanent monetary regulations and the greatest happiness of the people. The discussion may be divested, at this time, of all old party prejudices and predileclions, and this is a great consideration in j the regulation of to important a matter to j theenti'-'- community. Experiment after experiment has been tried, and we have before us all the advantages of their trial to aid us in arriving at the best possible method of plating our banking operations upon a firm and reliable basia. Whilst the people are now agitated upon this question, the press may easily gain audience to do its work successfully, aud all together may result in good, aud by the time our legislature meets, members who alone can accomplish what the people will may know the real sentiment of those who send them. The Logansport Pharos, whose Editor is a man of experience and good judg ment, goes into the investigation with a commendable and praiseworthy earnestness; but he is opposed to a paper currency of any kind. We are not one of those who believe in the existence of such a thing as "a necessary evil." Some financiers often repeat that they are opposed to banks, but as all experience has proven that the country cannot do its legitimate business without them, they may tolerate them as "a necessary evil." Anything that is csseulial in the proper management of the money matters of the country, is no evil. Had the wisdom of all past and present experience and philosophy demonstrated that the business of this country could be transacted without the aid of a paper currency of some kind, we

should agree with the notions advanced by the Tharcs. and in his way cast in our mite to aid in a successful reformation. A change of some kind is necessary, and for the best under all the circumstances and with the light of all past experience of old and new countries staring us in

Tint reinedv is, to e.x)U!l?re th.- 15. mk article from the SraJe CoustitJUi.'ii.'' We very widely diff-r from the Pharos, that "ihe tipt rience of the country shows the futility of all attempts to make a safe an I healthy svstem for the circulation of paper money." Whilst the cx - perience of a great majority of financiers clearly shows that Ihe great and immense commerce of this country cannotbe con,lUcted upon a specie circulation alone, it also clearly shows that hazardous expe rincnls in the mode of instituting and managing a pa per currency, haTe contributed more to derange the monetary affa;rs of the country, than the fact timt ours was a paper instead of a specie I circulation. This creation and ??trt7jciriig is what we are now most concerned about. The public mind is hut little at variance as to what the circulation consists of, and we should like to have the Pharos or any one else, give hny satisfactory reason why metal is a better ma terial for circulation than p iper. The I elfbr'.s of the greatest statesmen have bi en exhausted "i: pen this question with the simple result, that it is totally immaterial what it isthat circulates, but the mode in which that circulation is managed and controlled, and this is the work we desire to perfect if possible. We do not deem it necessary to call for a division of thr question, as the Pharos will at once see the necessity of sticking to the text. We arc "npt:Uei! to go uj on the pre sumption that banks aud j option that üJiihS aud a piper curren cy we have. Then how are thry o be created and how managed, to avoid the responsibility of panV'S and commercial tution in operation at the same time, in curs difficulties which have seemed toresult in tluir abandonment. The issues of one was lLble to a shave by the operations of another. And the idea that it is dangerous for the National Government to have any thiii to do with banking, should luve long since exploded, and its fragments of arguments buried so deep that the ingenuity of ages to come could j nut reach them.

tend to their warns and necessities, and do the wish and will of those in whose hands it has its only existence? What more importunt matter to the people could it take hold of to manage and regulate, than the currency? But in its high and lofty dealings, it won't even recognize the issues of the best and sound tt State institutions as currency, nor even aid in establishing public confidence by making them the depositories of the public funds. Here too, was another difficulty State banks had to encounter. Well, how was it when the old United States Bank was in existence? In the commencement of this article, we recollected that we have tho experience of the past, in our efforts to remedy the evils which at this time excite the public mind, and by it so far as our part of this controversy is concerned we shall be me8surebly uiverned. Throw together the various systems of all governments upon the face of this green earth as our great financial nen of all ages have doubtles doneand none other better than a carefully instituted and honestly managed National Bank, with its various State branches, can possibly be projected for the effectual regulation of Ihe currency of the country, which is, at tins lime, so much needed. Each State may be responsible for the management of its own branches. And w here is the great danger in this? It is simply the people being responsible for, and taking care of their own money.

We are very well aware that public expectation is on tip-toe for the earliest intelligence of the attack and its consf luenccs upon Sevastapol, but the next account we give ef it we want to i 'oe a correct one, and shall not lely upon hat is received as rumor.

The attempted robbery of the County Treasurer's office last Thursday night, seems to have been but one of a series of robberies which werf to have been perpetrated during the fall ami winter. The arrest of Jas. W. Fitzgerald, (who is laying in jail under 82.000 bonds.) and lha revelations of Samuel Biiley, (who turned State's evidence,) have probably broken up the gang and prevented the crimes that would otherwise have been committed. The statements of Bailey show a plan of operations .of the. most startling character. A number of buildings in the town and country were to have been burned, and the owners robbed during the excitement and alarm of the fir. The repentance of one of the associates, and the consequent breaking up of all their plans, 1ms alone preserved many of our citizens from being robbed ami their properly destroyed by fire.
