The Money PressureThere arc ninny persons in our community j who are disposed to charge tho present strinI geney in the money market entirely to ha 1 j I uinuK^vuiviii, ui iui|iiT>jjur iiiiuuiir, on me pari of our Hanks. While we nro disposed to believe that (here are instances of unwarrant. ble use of the power which their position gives to them, wo arc unwilling to join in any such wholesale condemnation. There are constantly occurring fluctuations and changes in the course of commercial or financial trade, entirely beyond the foresight or control of either the merchant or the banker. The people of the Southern States are an agricultural and not a commercial people ? Nearly the whole of their capital is employed in the former branch of industry, where it becomes a permanent investment. Banking is conducted by an association of capital, which is supposed, from the facilities afforded by its credit, to be able to trade to the extent of two or three timos the amount of actual capital employed, and this is true under certain circumstanccs. The product of interest on our agricultu- \ ral investment appears annually in the shape of a crop, which the Planter gathers and pre- j pares for market, when ready ho calls on the lJanks, either directly or through his Factor, for the means to move it to a market on the seaboard, and to enahh> bin* to nrt>n'ivo f.?i- tl>? - . ?' I?I'"'" next crop, before bis present one readied iUs destination, or can be realized. Tho.-c advances are made by the Banks on time, varying from sixty days to six months. This they can do \\!th perfect safety to the full extent of the actual cash capital of tho Banks ; but the capital alone, of all tho Banks in the country, would be very insufficient for tho purpose, if deprived of the advantages of their crcdit, as represented by their notes and drafts, which form so largo and convenient a part of the circulation of the country. From this crcdit or circulation arise the profits of | Banking, and now wo conic to the fluctuations of this circulation, which are in many cases entirely beyond the control of the managers j of these institutions. When our crops begin ! I to come to market, we are alwavs in dr-ht. nt \ . t i the North or in Europe, and the facilities af- j 1 forded by the Hanks must bo cautiously and j carefully extended ; but as these crops ad- j I vanco to market, and arc sold, wo work out I of our foreign debt, and the proceeds go buck . to the planter; but how do they go? Why ( in Hank circulation. Because when the Cotton, for instance, is sold to the Northern or j | European manufacturer we do not pet paid . j for it, but again the Banks arc called upon ! to furnish the money, and the manufacturer j | is allowed from sixty days to.four months on j | his acceptance before he is required to pay I for the crop, which has been now from four to six months sinc? itlefi the Planter's hands, J and all of which time the Banks have fur nished tlic money or tlie credit. Tins is what1 the Banks are expected to do and what they i can do satisfactorily, until that period of the year arrives when the Southern merchant is i required to make his payment in Northern cities, then he gathers up these Hank notes > and crcdit.s, and presenting them at the couni ter demands of the Dank its coin, or its cx- | I change ; and this demand increases until it reaches that period in the year when the old ' ; crop of the country is exhausted and the new , crop is not yet in market. During this inter- | rcgnum the credits or circulation of the j Danks being constantly sought after and brought f >r redemption, of course no more i uutus me issued uiiui ims demand is over tor the time, ami by this means the loans of the Banks are reduced almost to the bare amount of their capital, and the community begin to ; feel a pressure. i Added to these causes is the fact, that at this same period of the year a lurge number of our citizens leave homo to spend their money and the summer in the Northern States or | in Europe. This may appear of trifling importanee until we look at the fact that about five thousand persons leave this State alone, and when we average their expenditures at six hundred dollars each, it makes an aggregate of three millions of dollars annually ex- | pended in traveling und living, and which in no shape or form returns to us. Tins, too, j ! comes out of the Banks, in nianv eases. in thr? i J f " i shape of loans. Added to all this, most of j the foreign importations into this city are | made at this season, and the duties paid into the Custom House abstract so much m^rc from the available means of the Hanks. Heretofore coin has never flowed Into this city in the way of trade, but almost every dollar that j comes is imported by tho Banks at a heavy cost. This is tlio course which financial inatj tors usuaiiy tako in tho South generally, and I particularly in this city. Now we have superadded to an aggravation of the foregoing difficulties, those growing out of the threatening aspect of political affairs. The cloction of Lincoln will, in all probability, destroy the present Confederation.? If it docs not, it will ccrtainly shake it to its ccntro. It becomes prudent men, therefore, so to shape their course as to meet the shock wii:i ns niucn preparation and as little at stake an possible. This lias led to the shortening of the time 011 which drafts would bo takon 011 Noithern neceptors. In case of difficulty, it would be hotter thnfc thoy should not hnvo the Cotton and the money too. It is tl.o period when wc will be out of debt to them, and it would be best that wo should not have an account moro than square. Our crops arc coming rapidly forward, and arc bringing good priccs. Moth the North and Europo must nave our Cotton, and if we will not take their papal' they will bring us their money ; and tho I tanks will soon be in a condition to extend . ali the necessary facilities for tho legitimato , purposes of trade. The commercial community of this city, although sorely pressed by the curtailment to a somewhat greater extent than usual of those facilities to whioh they have been accustomed to look, ar?, nevertheless, as sound and relia I bio at this time as at any other period. Hut we would make ono suggestion, which seems . to us apparent, and that is, that our buisness , uien ha?o been aocustomed to rely too entirely . on Hank facilities for their permanent capital, and employ too little of their own means in . their buisness. f [ Charts?ton Courier, 5l/i innt.

" Whenever you find your dander rising," said a New Kugland deacon to his choleric son " be sure to say the Lord's prayer, my ! son, or the alphabet clean through ; and long before you get. to the end on't you'll be as cool as a cueuniher, or an ice berg. Promise me faithfully, my son." " Yes, d uldy, 1 promise."
