It says : '-Stay away; there are no vaoancnes here. Stay where you are; pull off your coat, take hold of a plough. Stay away from the dtiee. Times are hard, tis true; they will ne? ver be flush unless we all learn to depend on oar own resources, and work out oar own sal? tation." -Late advices from Cuba report a mortality among the fishes of the P* o ri da coast and the Gulf of Mexico, due perhaps to the emanations from the submarine volcanoes and other dis- I turban oes caused by the recent earthquakes.

Minister from England to the United States continues to great length in the foreign papers. A correspondent of tho New York Tri? bune writes that Mr. Thornton "has been away from England for a score of years, and . SOOTH'S to be about equally ignorant of the coun? try he is to represent, and the country to which he goes." -There are some signs of retrenchment in the public expenditures, lt is reported that the House Committee on Appropriations will - reduce the estimates originally made for the naval service some $20,000,000. Thia retrench? ment w?l out down the work largely in every navy yard in the country.

The aggregate yield or all the mines this year will probably not exceed 300,000 tons, against more than 600,000 tons in the year 1866. This condition of things, in connection with the diminished profite of the flaherieo (virtually abandoned to the Ameri? cans;, ind limited sphere of employment now aflbrdoc. by the gold fields, is the o ocasi?n of general discontent among the Nova Sootians. The various coal associations of that province have united in a memorial to the Dominion Parliament, praying for relief. -A horrible and lamentable occurrence took plane near Port Valley, Gm, on Friday, m which a father was shot and killed by his own SOO, The unfortunate man was Dr. Jackson, e> brother of the Jackson who killed Colonel Ellsworth for hauling down a Confederate flag from over his hotel at Alexandria, Va., during the first year of the war.

CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 28, 1868 The Xewi-A Retrospect. Just three months ago to-day, the pres ent proprietors assumed charge of Tm DAILY NEWS. Perhaps no more diaoourag ing period, in a business point of view, could be singled out within the memory the present generation in Charleston than the ninety days that have intervened sino 3 then. The ead failure of the Sea Island crop and the ruinous docline in the market price of Upland cotton, the disorganization of labor, the alarming prevalence of incen? diarism and crime, the political proapeat blank, and our social future lomethiii worse-all these things hara combined to produce in the season which, with us, ia usually marked by the greatest bus in ?as activity, a scarcity of money, a prostration of credit, and a paralysis in every bran oh of trade, the like of which nobody oan re member to have seen, before, during, or since the war. The moat widely circula .ed publio journal of a community affords g m erally a fair index of ita prosperity; iud stagnation in business reacts at onoe f nd se ver oly upon advertising, which ia the dfe of Journalism. So, ia tho present case, the terrible pressure which has been felt within th? last few months, in greater or less de? gree, by every olaaa of our people has borne heavily indeed.upon newspapers. But the proprietors of THE NBWS did not at the outset underrate the difficulties at lending th? prosecution of their enterprise. They foresaw the untiring energy, the constant and sustained effort, the rigid Economy and cloae attention to detalla, und, above all, the unswerving adherence to the cash system, through which alone luooesa waa to ba won; and these they have labored earnestly, resolutely and unceasingly to supply. They haye pivsiTfi tn tba an?llo-si Vaaa-awake daily paper, at a prioa (consid? ering tao depreciation of the curr?noy) altogether without a parallel in the hi itory of journalism at the South, and they have spared no pains to make it not only th? ohespest of our newspapers, but also In the freshness, variety, and eompaot arrange mont of ita matter, the but. Thoy have, be aides, introduced In Charleston the system of weekly delivery and collection, wh ich ia in universal usa in the Northern oitien, and by which hundreds of our people are ena? bled to take Tn NSW?, who, under the old yearly subscription plan, could not all ord to take a paper at all. Our efforts to aooommodate tho publio, we are glad to aay, have not been without reward. The edition of Tu NEWS, almost from tba time of ita establishment, his been considerably larger than that of any other journal in the State; but aince tho recent ohaogea and improvements in the p/.per its circulation has been making strides in the oity aa well aa in thia and adjoining States, far surpassing our most sanguino anticipa? tions. Advertisers are already pretty well convinced of thia fact, and in ?pita of the hard times find lt to their inter?s to give ua a liberal shara of their favors. We oan only express our thanks to the publio for their substantial appreciation of our en? deavors, and pledge ourselves to strive ia the future to make THE NEWS si iii more worthy of their generous support. The Bank Cases. A case of considerable interest was oom menced yesterday before the Appe al Court, It comes up from the Court of Equity, and ia in substance aa follow? : A promissory note for $906.6 8, drawn July 28, i860, was discounted by ino Bank of South Carolina. Not being paid on ma turity, it was protested, and the Bank, about June 1, 1861, recovered judgment against the drawer of the not J for the amount. The original holder of the note, who died in September, 1860, left a will, and constituted his wife executrix. In June, 1868, the executrix paid tbs bank the liabilities of her testator, and among others the above-named note, opon whiih the tes? tator was liable as endorser. The note was thereupon delivered up to the executrix, and the judgment obtained thereon, it is stated in har answer, because the property of the estate of her testator, and that the Bank of South Carolina ceased to have any interest therein. In Deoember, 1866, the attorneys of the executrix demanded pay? ment of the note. The attorneys of the drawer of the note, th? plaintiff in the present case, replied by tendering, in satisfaction of the judgment, bills of the Bank of South Caro ina to the amount of the claim. This tender wa? re? fused, and the case heard before Chanoellor H. D. LESESNE. In his bill the plaintiff staten : 1. That JJ VUUUW MUM? - c the note was regularly transferred to the hank, and that the bank became the owners lind holders of tho said note, and as such ob? tained judgment against plaintiff; at or before which time the said bank had sus? pended, and refused to redeem its bills and noies in gold or silver, as by its charter it was bound to do,, thereby violating ita char? ter, and becoming irresponsible for its just debts. 2. That he is holding as a creditor of the said bank a large amount of its bills and notes, issued under its charter, more than is the amount claimed under the said judgment. S. That he has offered ta set off by way of payment of tho said judg? ment, the like amount of the bills and notes of the said bank. 4. That the bank had refused his offer; insisting that he shall pay and satisfy the judgment in gold or silver, or the lawful currenoy of the United States. 6. That this bank is now insolvent; that it does not even make profession of any ability to redeem its circulation, and thatif allowed to enforce ?B j idgment, it will, while in? debted to him, coerce him into the payment to it of the full amount of the said judg? ment; while in its relations as debtor to him SB creditor, it will pay back to him, if any, a very inconsiderable portion of the debt it now owes him. 6. That this pro? ceeding is oppressive and unjust to the plaintiff; that the debt due by the bank is a fair set off against the debt due to it. 7. That the Bank of South Carolina holds that i it is not the party interested in the said judgment; whereas plaintiff insists that the j judgment was reoovered and is entered in the records of court in the name of said bank'; that upon the said record no assign? ment or transfer of right or interest in the said judgment is made or appears ; and that plaintiff had never received from the said bank notioe of any assignment by it of the said judgment. 8. That the bank holds that beoause plaintiff became possessed of its notes and bills subsequent to the time when this judgment was entered against him, he is not entitled to set off the samo against the said judgment. In answer the plaintiff olaims, that while he cannot offer these bills by way of set off or discount, he is entitled to pay to the bank, in eatisfao- j tion of the debt claimed by it, its own bills and notes, issued by it, cte, etc., etc. j The Chancellor, in his deoree, decided that the assignment of the judgment was equitable ; that a judgment could not be set off by bills and notes of an insolvent bank that as the plaintiff had come in possession of these notes subsequent to the insolvency of the bank, and the case was distinot from the general one of debtors of a bank seeking to pay their debts by bringing up its notes after failure. The bill was therefore dis? missed. The grounds of appeal were : 1. Beoause there was no legal assignment of the judg? ment of the bank. 2. Because a debtor to the Bank of South Carolina has the right to satisfy the olaim of the bank for a debt alleged to be due it, with its bills, which have been put in circulation as money, and of which he is the bona fide holder and owner. 3. Because if the principle is re? cognized in any oase, that a debtor to a bank cannot, after its insolvency, discharge its I -- ?jgj-- mtm irw ra own DTTOTj wnicn j have been put in circulation as money, that principle has never been extended to a oase where, in the event of the insolvency of a bask, its stockholders were held by its oharter, bound to contribute, in addition to th j original subscription to its capital, to satisfy the olaim of its creditors. 4. Be? oause, whether regard be had to the prin? ciples of a Court of Equity, whioh always endeavors to set off a demand on one side against one on the other side, or to its rule not to forte a oroas suit to aceomplish relief, whioh it can give without circuity of | aotion, or to support the law as it has de? clared it, that the exercise by a bank of its privilege to issue its bills as money, takes from it the power to impair the obligation it has assumed by any act of its own, whether of insolvency or otherwise, the complainant is entitled to the relief he has asked. e_(I* tot fpo HEXT, THE HOUSE SOUTHEAST JL corner of Trapman and Queen streets, contain? ing four square rooms, large attie and dressing iwnii, with cistern, and Ras through the house, Apply at SHOE SiOBE, Mo. 08 MARKET-STREET.
