Who will clantn those Wa~mshigtons of (recedom, whoise nmies are blenmded with the dsawning era of our country ? Which of us will boast of those deeds of magnanimiity and bravery, which first ailotted us a station among the greattest nua tions of the 'earth?

Will the South continue thus depend ent on New York, when the means of indepen dence are within her grasp? Let us strike while the iron is hot for direct trade with Eu rope-conmereiti 'independence will be the great result: "New York is the great central banking power. She sets the key note to the whole country. If she expands, the whole country expands. It she contracts, it is felt to the re. motest extremities. It is a tremendous power, that of increasing or diminishing the circulating medium of the whole country. It is a deep responsibility, and demands sound discretion anl much wisdom in its regulation. Unfortu nately, there appears to be no unity of action, no controlling principle, in the management of this power. It is divided between fifty live banks, each acting its own separate part, under the influence of different opinions and diffei ent interests. Banks are public institutions; they are founded for the public good; and the duty of consulting the good of the community in the use of their great power. is as sacred as that. of providing fbr their own safety. There is appa rently no individual of sufficient influence to bring this heterogeneous mass to unity of ac tion in a crisis like the present, as was Albert Gallatin, whilst he lived." DorTuc BANS Loi~, Tiuin CsARTEns ?-1'here seems (says the -1&ing Sun) to be an inpres sion on. the minds of nany, that the banks in this State forfeit their charters when they cease to par out specie. This is not correct, as shown by the foilowing act, passed December, 1-40, to wlich the banks are subject. Second section of which reads its Follows: " Every bank which shall suspend the payment of current coin for its notes. or which shall de. elare a determination to suspend'or refuse pay 1ment of its notes, according to their legal obli. gation, in current coin, shall become liable to pay to the State of South Carolina, at the expi. ration of every mi'onth after such suspension or declaration, a'min of nioney, at the rate of five per cent, per annum, up.on the whole amount of its notes, which shall have been issued in circ lation at the coiniencoment of the said nionth. and shall contintie to pay at the! sa:e rate at the end of eerv month. until tl, said bank shall re-. voke its declaration, and shall lawfuliv redleem its notes when demande.d, accordliil to their legal obligation.; the said stun of money to be recovered liv iietion 16f" debt in anv court of com petent jurisdictiun.'

The uncertainty and extraordinaryvacillation; of the price of exchange in New York would indicate either the inability of that market tc forward the crops by the purchase of the ex change drawn on them, or a continuation ol panic and distrust of European steadiness, proba bly both. Reduced as is the rate bf exchange in the United States, to thr great loss of the producer, still everywhere there is the evidence that it is sold and that produce is going forward, The work of releif then goes on, however al present limited and gradual. Any progreM whatever must receive necelerati-i from the in creased means and confidence which it produces. It must however take months to achieve any positive results, and the American people must conient to move slowly. A great shock has been given both to monetary and connercial relations. Great apprehension of the danger of expansion after a revulsion, produced by ton tracdon, and ending in universal distrust, tLe doubt of safety in conmercial operations, the saritico of immense amounts of inerchandize, the Ito1arding of specie, the fall of produce and the precarious condition of monetary 'alitirs in Europe, cannot be overcome or disentangled in any summary mode. On the other hand, the restoration of confidence, the chief ekeeil (f reief, would go far, aided by the amount of specie in Aierici, equal to what it usually has, to Iheili tate the operations tending to relief. This de $ired confidence could not exhibit itself in more available and eflective firns, than by. a re-de posit in the Banks of the specie drawn from thei, and the unhesitating purchase, at fair rates, of produce bills. Both may safely be trusted; both would be decisive in securing re ief; and both the best basis of x desirable bank axpansion. We arc not of those who, on the one hand, pprehended an almost universal ruin, or of those who, on the other, anticipate a prompt re turn of easy and bright times. We believe trit the United States cai and will do much to bring their crops into the market of the world at fair prices, and that Europe can lend prompt and tea-lv aid in consummating this end. The importers of New York are no doubt hard prLe-sed to obtain the ineans to make their neces sarv remittance to Europe, and to obtain the groldt whereby to take giods out of blud, Of which a large quantity must be locked up in the overnment warehou-es.

IfEART lENDING A FFAuR.-At this late .ti, ve Stop the press to announce an occurrence most painful in character; our 1articular. are from James Jell'rys* Esq, Magistrate,' ail Mr.' Win. M. Kerr, the acting officer. lnil fi' of anger one John Fee, living on ilulloch's Crzbk - in York District, a few dlays since, shot his - mare, some cattle and hogs, and on.Sunday (yesterday) he set fire to his dwelling, which was locked, and the key afterwards found on. his person, in which his three motherless chik dren, aged from five to fourteen 'years, are sup lpo-ed to have perished. It seems a Peace Warrant had been issued - against him on complaint of a neighbor; that when an otficer went to arrest hin he was seen to be fortilied (as it were) in one of hi- barns, armed with a gun, and swearing to shoot any who would approach him. There were simty or seventy persons leaving the house when 'Mr. Kerr arrived, who he summoned to accompany himn to the barn, but the cry was, "he will shoot somebody." So they refruled with Thy exception of John ilartness and brother; when - diey got to the barn stratagem had to be resert ed to, --which was effectual in securing him. The.prisoner stated that the children wcro - at a certain house, which was knoiwn to be in correct. lie then said he had last seen them at "the Spring," but the presumption is they have perished in the flames. The poor apology of "intemperance4' we learn, cannot be urged in this instance.
