A the instance of an individual claim ing stock in this institution, an injunction was granted a shoit time ago having the effect to close upon the bank, without even permiting a relemptiot or its notes. The officers of the bank. upon legal advice, as sumied the responsibility of disobeying the injunction until a hearing could be had for its dissolution. This hearing we under stand took place before his Honor Judge Tripj)e. at Chambers, on the 12ih ult., when the motion to dissolve was sustained, upon the ground that there was no equity iII the lill, and if there was, it was fully sworn ofT by the answer. At tho same hearing, another application for iidutcion hy,another'party, was dismissed upon cause shewn to the contrary. We learn that the i bank did not stop redeeming its liabilities pending the injunction; and being now re lieved from this legal embarrassment, is go ing on to discharge promptly as heretofore, its obligations to the public. Netc Orleans Ban/s.-It would seem by the following article from the New Or leans Advertiser, of the 22d ultinio, that the banks at that place are in open hostili ty between themselves. The war has commenced in earnest among sundry of our banks. Early in July, says another rumor, some bickering was observed at the table of the board of presidents. One of thei propo posed a resolution to inquire into the con dition of the Orleans lauk. It was anend ed by one of her flriends, so as to extend the examination to all the tbanks, and carried. Aftier this, some skirmihing took place, when the New Orleans submitted to three geutlemen a statement of her alfairs in de tail and they certified or said they were satisfied withi her ability to pay her debts, &c. The great plea of the 1lank of Orleans, for not suht.niting to inspection 'vns, that she hind refused frequentily her ma-ters, v the legisu ore. and she did nit now intend to yield the principle. The inquiring hnks urged that they wanted to be satisfied, if they continued to guarantce her paper, ly talsing it as cur- d rency.

Bulletin: Intended Revolt of Slares.-Intellig ence was received yesterday. by the packet steamer Clipper, from Bayon Sara. of a systematized plan on the part of the ne graes to rise upon and murder the whites. The news, greatly ex.ggerated in its repe tition, has created quite a sensation in town. The plain truth is certainly snificient to. occasion serious apprehensions. The particulars that we have received are these. ofWsP nvinz oc easson to arise from his bed lite~i* cne ofthe recent hot nights, heard what he be lieved to be negroes conversing in one of the quarters. Oin silently approaching the vicinity and listening, he overheard two of the slaves discussing the subject of a rising ag ainst the whites. This led to the examination the next morning of thte two fellows, whten they confessed thc facet, and gave information that led to the ar rest of several others. rThe alartm was itt mediately spread ahroad. arrests. were made in various p)lantations,. and tt wats found by the confessions that thtey tall agreed in the ntuint fact<, that there was to. be a general rise, and that the first of Au gust was dhe day agreed ttpon. A white man, a carpeuter, who had lately done a job of work for Mr. JHtrruw, was also arrested on suspicion. and ex amined. lie said he hatd ntothting to do with the plot-that he had never said any thing to the negroes on the subject, hut ac knowledged that they frejuently spo~ke to him. and informed him all about is.

With this day closes another of the summer ionths, and it is in be hoped that the remain ig one will be less celebrated for its sultry reather and inactivity in tusiness, than its pre ecesmors have been. The weather tip to this ate continues vety warm, but we Hatter our. lves with the helief, that the dullest and most iltry season of the year had passed, and that te period is not far distant when we may not nly expect, but experience a revival in all ranches of bttsiness. Nthing, which may be of interest to your raders, has occurred in business transactions uring the pr:st week. The unly activity man isted it any branch of trade is in Cotton, and ie improvement in this staple. may be better !scribed lay the smiling countenances of held. ,, than by the amont or number of bales hich ias changed hands, since die receipt of e late intelligence. A number of Planters having Cotton in store, We visited our city during the last few days. ith intentions of selling upon the strength of cent accounts; but many of them, entertain a higher opinion of the eflect which the ght advance in foreign markets ought to pro tee on our market, than our buyers, have re med home without effecting a sale, confident the belief, that the foreign intelligence will be tmore favorable. We join with them in the pe that such may be the case. But the criti a national and commercial point of view, ndets it imtpossible to make any certain cal lations ttpon the future. Froum intelligence received since our last tice of the growing cropas, we are still tnore ongly inaclined to believe that the production this year will fair exceed that of last.

Thme preence of death in nur midst, is ever solemn and painful. Bait it is far more pain ful, when is strikes down thc brighatest and most cherishmd ornaairents of society. On the 16th ofathec past month, Col. Betta departed this life. Never has this communiy been called upon to mourn the departure of a mose valued and respected citizen. Col. Betts was born in Hlijfax County Virginia. in the year 1814, and entered the mihatary academy at West Point. Having acquitted himself with honor, ss a pupil ofthat inslitutlion, he receaved the commission of second Lieutenant, and was atationmed at Fort Moultrie during the Autumn and winter of '33. After thmel massacre of the gallant Dade and his unfortumnate companions, be was ordered to Florida, and during thme Spring camnpaign he acted as the aid of Eaustis. At the commencement of the Crack hostilities, he was selected as ones of the sids of Gen. Scott. and acted in that capacity, until his return to |Florida in the ensuing ,idly. He was second in command to Maj. Pierein the battle of Fort Drane. fought onate first iday of August, ina the year 1836. Hie was particular distinguished during the conflict for has cool composure and undaunted bravery. The Indiansad dan over. whelening superiority of numbers, besides he ing advantaeousl!y posted. At one time du rin the actaon, Col. Betts, while leading for ward a small party. received so heavy and fa tal a fire from thme enemy, that ever man was .hot down except himself, and he was exposed alone for several minutes to the fire of nearly ti whole of the savage force. Major Pierce A* a gallant contest and severe loss, was compelle to retire, and the arduous duty was devolve upon Col. Bette of protecting the rear. Thi duty lie performed with sich skill and gallan try, that not a man was lost during the retreat Colonel Delts received a severe flesh woun through the thigh which together with repeate attacks of fever. occasioned by fatigue and u: healthiness of the climate, impaired the vigor i his constitution and uninted him for active set vice. Incouequence of his feeble health, he was stationed in Augusta, until the winter o 1838. Being then ordered to the Canada fron tier, and deeming his enfeebled frame unabled to stand the rigor of the climate, he resignes his commission and retired from the service. Since his residence among ns, he has proven himself as enpable of excelling in the arts o peace as of war-no one gave higher promis< of usefulness and distinction, than he did, and none was better qualified to attain it. Polished in his manners, and fascinating ins his address endowed with uncommon strength of mind anc accuracynf judgement. possessed ofextensivt and varied stores of information, of sterling in tegrity and of a lofliness of character, which rendered him whoily incapable ordescending tr aught that was unworthy, he might have aspir ed to any station. In private life no one could be more amiable and exemplary. fie was a kind parent, a ten der husband, a devoted friend, cut off thus younitithusgifted, thus beloved, in the morn ing orlf re has left a chasmn in society which may not soon be filled. He bore lots pain fnltilltaess with that calmness and composure, which was ch aracteristic of his life. In the last and closing scene of lire he acted with the firm. ness of the soldier and the resignation of the christian He has left with his friends the cheering helief that he has exchanged this for a more perfect and more glorious state of being. This should be our consolation, that though we may long and deeply mourn his loss, be has been profited by the exchance. He has been called from a world of ,ain and anguish to that mansion prepared for departed spirits, where there is joy unceasing and pleasure forever more. To the Members of the TLe-islature of S. C.
