It will be borne in mind that Wednesday noil ia
lite day for the annual meeting ol the Spartanburg
Agricultural 3<>oiety, nud it is to be hoped that
there a ill bo a large exhibition. The annual address
will be delivered by Prof. Warren DuPre, of
Wofford College, and from his scholarly attainments
?ud practicality a rare treat may bo looker! for.
Thelsdios' department will be very attractive, which
will be open in Palmetto Hall, nt night, to be fol
toweil oy ? supper. mm, we are inlorined, la now ,
perfectly assured?the Indict of the town lmviiif^ ?
tukcu prompt hold of the affair, and when tliev thus |

Wo ConG icnlly look for a largo attendance of 1
our country friend*, for whose interest cLitfly tlio t

THE SPEAKERSHIP. '
?rom all quarters wo hear expressions of opinions
in favor of Col. J. L. O r for Speaker. At ^
lite North the choice has become almost a certainty,
and in the South, out of this Suite, he is equally
favored. How is it at hornet We understand all
our delegation will vote for him in the House, when
the ^allotting takes plats , but that four of ilicm will 1
"take no prior step to promote his elevation to that ^
office. We submit lluil ths is running the thing *
nu the grouud. Our Representatives, we take it,
ore practical men, uud know well how things arc
managed at Washington. At the opcuing of Con- ^
, .... a
gresa the respective partus assemble in meetings, ^
Jfrom which all others are excluded, and therein
settle apou the candidates each shall support for the
officers necessary to organization?indeed, during
"the session it is no unusual thing to consult upon
the shape and fate *1 public measures in such meet- ^
iogs. New, what wfM be gained by a refusal of ^
-our jo embers to join their political friends in the |
meeting whielt is certain lobe held to make choice j
-of a caudidata Spssksrl Tito nbst nee of our ^
five votes will weaken Col. Orr by that much, and
.possibly detest bis nomination in favor of some other ^
man. Preserving the analogy ol the famous re- ,
mark of Mr. Calhoun in favor of Gen Taylor, we ?
WUllIJ 1AV 11 till ft n.'llivu f\ f Alia au ? G?-?- ?j -
sound Statu Rights Democrat, is nearer to us than ^
-one foreign to us ns to residenoe, however liarino- c
uious in sentiment. Therefore, wo should secure ^
the election of Col. Orr if practicable. llocock of
Virginia, Phelps of Missouri, and Harris of Illinois, j
are all Democrats, and doubtless either would make j
a capita) Speaker, liut how arc their sentiments ^
on those questions,indifferent to party, which enter j
into tho formation of committees? We look to lite j
committees. They shape legislation?if they do net j
direel it. Restrained by prudence from going fur- 4
ther Into this subject, we beg our Repre*eutativm? 1
if they reu believe the principles of this State g
sound and constitutional, to give them efficacy by <;
augmenting the aonlrol of South Carolina in the (
counsels of government. (
Suspension or Sracit Payment.?The commrrcisl
panio at the North is much more alarming than r
was at first supposed. Iloascs are toppling over at 1
all points?ons reacts upon ano'her, as a pile of '
bricks are slArtod by children, and no limit can bo 1
assigned to distrtases that must ensue.
In Philadelphia the Buuks have pai tiully suspend- 1
d specie payments. In Baltimore a total su>pen- ?
sion wa? resolved on, and wen in Washington a ?uJ- '
(iisi con-tipntion has seised u|?on their weak iuslitu- I
lions. So fur we hear of no suspension* by banks '
So i|h of the Potomac. Of course this resort in n '
ran is only designed to be temporary, but we re- '
rnimlw the aamo assurance was given in 1837, and 1
JaaU-d so loug, that some uecer re-opened their doors, '
and others did uot resume for over a yenr.
The L*te Storm.?The storm of the 12th ult. ^
was the severest that has visited tho souibei u coast i
for several years?at least iu tin* destruction of prop ,
my nml lift*. Ilcsidts ilie overwhelming calami |
ty to tliu Central America, many oilier vessels wno <
wrecked, with loss of life. In the Chesapeake liny
the (learner Norfolk, bound from Phi!. Iclphia for
Norfolk unl Richmond, was lost with a valuable
cargo of gooda. The passengers and crew, after
much danger and suffering, were picked up by dif- ,
fcrent vessels, ami reached Norfolk in nnfety. 1 (
Almost a DirriouLTV.? A difficulty of n per- 1
son.il nature canto near springing from a Oontrovcr- 1
ay between the editors of the Charleston Mercury 1
nod n correspondent of the Standard ? Wide Awake, 1
alius Col. I. \V. ilayne. The latter charged that 1
the Mercury was governed in its motive by a desire
to promote (ho flection id lion. II. It. Rhett to the '
Senute. R. II. Rhet', jr.. junior editor of the Mercury,
asked for e spin nation. Col. H. replies th?t
lie nicnut no personal iu*ull to any one, but mer.-ly
to characterize the course of that paper. Mr. 1
Rhett was satisfied. '
Grapes.? I>r. Ifurlee, of Fall River, Mass., has
in his green house u bunch of grapes eatnnated to
weigh tilteen pounds, and measuring four feet five '
,tielits in length. <
Hy-tho-wny, *c have mentioned to several friends ?
the fact that we saw in the vinery of Cnpt. Lyons, I
of Columbia, a t.uucli of grapes, of the Palestine ?
vaiiety, measuring twenty-four inches long, and f
w? ro id11lost laughed at. Uut Maj. Perry saw, ? 1
few weeks since, iri the tame place, a hum It tweu- 1
ty-teven inches long. Modern travellers speak of '
bunel.es of Ut' se grapes in their nativn locality ns l
growing in immense clusters and six feet long. '

Perhaps bo aukject Willing within the rarge ?f f
newspaper diaeinaioa is more difficult of es plication a
than banking. It w a science apart from tlio da- I
ties of editors, sud, indeed, apart from the ordinary 1
habitudes of erra merchants. Its complications arc f
a u rror; its figures a world of Isbort its Iraosaotions a
variant snd multiform. Until reocut years the ope- it
rations of bonks were comprchcusibl* to ordinary ?
intelligence?hut then the chief businees was iasu!bg
notes lor circulation, discounting business pa- ?
per, and some of the Isrger institutions, located in t
conimercinJ centres, dealt in exchange. Under this '
chart of duties bat.king wss deemed a necessity t ,
from the ubsenoe o( sufficient spade to constitute a r
circulating medium for a commercial people, in the ?
progress of enterprise, however, the banks were not c
slow in discovering the reeultant ndvantages of their
associated wealth, and became discontented with t
the small proiiis realised. Money is never satisfied <
with its increase, if we may be permitted to per- ?
sonify. Not content with loaning three hundred fl
thousand dollars on n capital paid in of one v
hundred thousand?making iutsrest on imaginary t
nr fi.'titious means; not content with banking on
deposits, and compounding on interest paid on die ?
counts?ingenuity taxed itself l? device ways of
money-making in >re speedy end profitable. Without
fo lowing the various slagtsof development,
briefly the system issued in what is now dennmina- ,
ted "dotnesiio exchange," under wiiielt, we are
credibly informed, banks may nnd do realise a pro- '
lit of from 12 to 24 | cr oent. per annum. Now,
perhaps the public would have no special ground of
rotnplnin' at such enormous profits if banks would
only fulfil the end for which they were created; but
this they hy no means do. We have never known ^
i bauk chartered for which the idea was not enter
lJ thnt the wants of the community required oddi- r
tionol facilities for hormwiiiii money?and yet 'or
ten years our ubwrr. tion juntitles us in ssyiug, that M
tvith each new bank these facilities grew Irs*, and g
terms more string! nt. o
At tlie present lime we have a banking capital in c
South Carolina, in round numbers, of $15,000,000 *
?$12,000,000 ol which is iu Charleston and $5,- lt
i)00,000 in the Districts outside. Looking over the r
'Comparative View" for Augost, embracing the ^
returns of nil the banks, as required by I ur, we fiml (>
that while all the banks, in Chnrlrston, have a ?
egular discount line of $7,870,570 13, the nine pri- h
rate eonntry banks, excluding the two branches *
>f the Bank of the State at Columbia and Camden,
lave $ 1,932,808.03, on a capital of $3,700,000. o
\nd if we exclude the Commercial Bank of Co- 8
umbia, which is otto of the old-Cushioned banks, ^
md id wins did n fair and legitimate banking p
>u?iucss, until forced into the exchange system by ?
he new banks, we shall reduce the item of notes *'
I i Mounted on personal security by the eight remain- Jj
ng banks to $l,?*2.$59 93. And these were the ,|
i,inks which urged their c'harters on the plea that si
he people wanted more ncconimoJttious! *
I?ok we now at lite ''domestic exchanC ' * * ti
ure of the hanks. All the banks of the Stai*, in a
hi* single item,aggregate $10,535,422.CO?and the (J
iglit new banks out of Charleston have issued
>4,890,416.CO of it. But it must be borne in mind
hat this is at most but the business of sixty days
nd to realize the exteut of lliie feature of banking di
ou rrust multiply the ten millione and upwards by- r<
ix-giving the enormous nggregate of $65,212,535.- jj.
6. Nor is this all. Tlis law requires cncli of the il
aoks to mnke up statements ol their liabilities and w
sets for the Comptroller Oeoernl. These he sr- P
nngrs And publishes monthly. At first it was sup
osed that the requisitions of this law would kiep
lie eye of the public upon them, and make their t(
usincsa an open book. Hut not so. Two batik ^
'residents and their cashiers can blind the whole (|
legislature?certainly half the merchants of the lg
Itato?nnd no disparagement to either class. The
auks were ready for this statement, howerer, and ia
a nrranged their business that these expositions tl
Iwuld embrace periods when their discounts on *
personal security" was largest and the "domestic t|
xchaugo" lino bliortest. So that outside of the d
anks no one knows the amount of domesiie ei- 4
hango "aold" ad interim! At one time it was be- "
iercd that large capital waa essential to a lar^e and ^
irofilable banking business. Modern financiering il
las exploded that theory. In proof, look at the n
i ink of the State, with a capital of $3,104,000?ita n
lomcslic exchange is but $324,332.34; while the (]
Sauk of Newberry, with a capital of only $3\0,000t tl
tas "sold" domestic exchange to the value of $V28,- w
03.49, and has out in ordinary business paper\ut ?
124,430.55. No wonder that banks push agencies n
ill over the country, and scatter their bills in the 'I
ihapc of domestic exchange, when on a basis of "
1300,000 they can maintain u business, in loans and p
irculaticn, fire or six times the amount of their (l
capital!
But possibly we may he answered that the but?i)e?a
is not ao profitable after all, and that we do u t r
understand banking. The former would he untrue, M
while we freely admit that we know little about the f,
ntricacies ol our subject, and only look ut it as plain
ncn. Hut if one so unfamiliar with the science can j
nise ro many well-founded objection* to thenperaion
of the system, what an oppressive nnd burdeniomo
scheme would it not be made out by one ca

K>na! Take, f>>r example, the Hank of Newberry, F
is one of tlie m<?t aucoeaaful of tlir banka c lowered
in 1852. Tliul bank lura born but about four
fears in existence, and yet it shows a net profil on
land of $104,883 96, after paying dividends of from
} to 10 per cent, since six mouttin from ita intuitu- '
ion. And here we may be permitted to nay, tbat

This mnttir, in the midst of ihr money pressure ji

peculators, which are reacting on the Southern
sommcrcial communities, it nttrncting attention. A t
writer in the Charleston Evening S?ws expose*
ho rrrure of the system, even wlnlo apologising J
or the neoeesiticS of the banks in perpetuating ,
t. He think* a removal of the rt-su icta-n* f
limiting '.he rate of interest to 6 per cent, would
Meliorate, if not cure, tho evil. Wo do not. The j
rate of interest?no, not intcrot, profits?r. alix?-d t
t?y the hanks on domestic exchange cannot vary far i
from 2 per cent, a month, and as long as anything '
ike that can be assured, home demand? lor m>>nry (
will not be supplied, rxcrpt on like ruinous terms. |
lienides, home discounts will return the circulation f
upon a bank within n week or two, through other 'j
>anks, and drain specie or its equivalent; domestic ;|
rxclmnge will keep it out for from 90 to 120 days? j
verhnp* longer, and that is one grand object with
ill banks?preferring it should never return. In
>ur judgirnnt, tho only way to arrest the evil is to |
imend the chatters, by prolub ting the banks from |
laving agencies beyond theBtate?indeed, noagrn- j
ice should be tol rated. And if a bank uses its t
uods outside of tin State at all, ita charter should tl
c forfeit. Dunks are chartered for the hem fit of j]
lie people?Rot for lite exclusive advantage of the *;
lock holders, as now undersi- od; and whenever
licy fail to subserve some gi neral public inteiest, it
s the duty of the legislature to end their existence. r
We end what we had to say hy calling attention "

[{veiling News: fa
"My opinion is that the origin of the whole evil *

V
R
W muiiran which the Banks can charge, and ia
ha Improper organisation of the Backs. Id the first
ptser, what arc Banks? A partnership of Individuals,
who have Invested their money la that parties*
i?r business, with a view of gtltiug a fair interest for
lie sac of the aame. Now.it is n moral impoasibitly
that the Banks, restricted to charging six |icr cent,
nr loans, can be carried oa at a heavy expense,
nd leaves fuir return to thestockholders. They
nust seek some other aoUrcva J profit than the sitnSr
uiseoautins o( paper. They are therefore teinptrd
nto the establishment of agencies abroad, where
hey nse their bills in parchssing eichanae nnd
*her paper, thereby creating n large circulation of
heir bills, to provide for which tliey ate nroessariy
compelled to keep a large fond and curtail their
iperntions nt home. This businesr, whilst it may
w attended with largo profit*, is conducted at great
isk. An agent abrmd is intrusted with the purbase
of thousands of dollars of paper drawn by nod
m parties entirely unknown to the Bank here, whilst
he strange anomaly is presented ol the same board
if Dire-jtoio, who have given such unlimited power
o their agents, spending hours over the discussion
if the |*aper of parties in our midst, and whose daily
iperations can be seen and judged. Again, the
Links are tempted to deuling largely in exchanges
it home in preference to business paper. It ia a
roll known fact, that bills of exchange arc |vu*cd t<<
he extent of fi20 to Sft.tHK) at thr Banks by varies
who, if they wished to purclutae of nry mer
lianl on a credit, eould not do ao for one filth uf the
mount.
"Again, the desire for profit in the Banks leads
o illegitimate operations and a pernicious *)M<m ol
iting, which lowers the moral lone of the buwnesa
omtnunity. Paper payable here of tho inust anlouhted
character will be rejected; but the aame peer
will be received as collateral security for the
Iruft made payable in New York, which has no bnia.
It I buy one hundred bales of cotton nnd rlop

oyahlc in New York, tvhere neither I nor my friend

nd these are the kind ot o|<erntiiins that hare been

I do not blntna the bmks lor these kinds of o|?etiliot

They haw trnosiurrud one of ths Professors fro

where neither his tastes, opacities nor attain men
qualify him for his offior:
Hie. bare lell the Faculty without a Presidei
reserving no vacant place for him except ths Clw

They li.-tve distributed ao important departmei
requiring much study, long preparation, and pec

given it any attention, or showod any talents tli

They have taken n step back words in the I

natural and utrlul sciences, rec? ntly brought in
some degree of prominence,are reduced to the lei
ol our schools and nrndemies:
