EDITORS: Our bunks atv, broken, our credit shaken, und our means crippled. Capital is indis? pensable to our resurrection, and it is needed sooner and in larger sums than tho profits of labor and of trade will afford, it. It is not here, and th" difficulty of obtaining it elsewhere i believed, by many, to bo increased by the stay law and the usury laws. To the latter I will confine my pre? sent communication. No satisfactory answer can be made to tho theoretical arguments of the economists, who say that the pi iee of money, like that of other commodi? ties, will, in unrestricted freedom of bargaining, be regulated \jy demand and supply. Yet, no trial, hitherto made, has proved that it would be wise to enforce, by law, all the pro? mises which unconscionable usurers might wring from thc hopeful and needy. Money differs somewhat from most other commodities; it is kept without expense or loss; the supply of it is least when the demand for it is great? est; tho need ot' it often comes sud? denly, and admits of no delay; in the absence of public institutions, those who have it are generally unknown. In tho delusions of hope, pressed by want, tho borrower has recourse to the nearest sJiaving-shop, and submits to tho terms imposed upon him. In regular business, great gains can pay high interest. In improvements, largo expenditures of money-princi? pal and interest-maybe compensated by consequent increase of price or of advantages. But it must be borne in mind that regular dealers and the makers of permanent improvements aro not the only borrowers. There are the struggling debtors, uu willing to relax their grasp of their posses? sions. There are tho victims of mis? fortune, promising to themselves speedy restoration of their prosperity. And there are the eager speculators, who think that they see tho prospect of enormous profits, and are anxious to clutch them, with money at any price-with cost to those with whom they deal, and, possibly, with discre? dit to themselves and demoralization to the community. Tho premium must be proportionate to the risk. But where the security is ample, it should not be charged with lusses which have been endured in other cases. The law, whilst it. removes all obstacles in the way of worthy enter? prise, should not forget what may befall tho feeble and unwary. Our present usury laws, restraining only the conscientious few, help to swell the increase of those whose money breeds at the rate of five per cent, a month. But however it may be in populous Holland, or in Eng? land, where the bank controls the rate of interest, one result of a repeal of usury laws is likely to be, in our State, such as it has boen in other States-interest will never sink be? low tho highest point which the law fixes in the abseneo of contract. Fully persuaded, then, that the inter? ference of tho Legislature with the subject is demanded by tho present condition of the State, but desirous to avert some of tho evils .which I think would come from a sweeping repeal, I respectfully .submit, for the consideration of those who will pas.; upon this important mutter, the fol? lowing projet for an Act: SEC. 1. Upon the loan of money or other commodity, for a term not ex? ceeding one year, interest may be re? served or be made payable at the rate fixed by the contract of tho parties; Provided, That if the ai." of tho law should bo required to enforce tho contract, and the rate fixed should bo aboye twenty per centum per annum, calculation of interest shall be made in the courts at twenty per centum for the term of the loan. (One year, because bus: ess men rarely require a longer tei..i. Tho borrower, who has promised more than he can make, should be called to his senses before his ruin is com? plete. Tirent)/ per cent., because only a manufacturer, who liai the aid of Government, or a contractor who has i a friend in oiiice, or one out <>f ten ; speculators, who makes a lucky hit, eau carn no much; but if more has been paid, let not the law interfere.) SEC. 2. Upon all interest-bearing demands, not regulated by contract, the rate of interest shall bo sis per centum per annum; and it simd be thc same upon loans for terms ex? ceeding a year, where, by contract, six per cent, or more has been iixed. (Six per cent, is a fair compensa? tion whore there is little risk and no labor; it is more than the interest of half the world, is easily ' calculated, and, if not enough, can be raised by contract. It may, in time, become ? the standard. By interest-bearing de? mands, I mean what I understand the law means-securities for money, ba? lances iu the bands of trustees, &c., money lent, paid or received, and all liquidated demands.) SEC. 3. Upon open accounts and unliquidated demands, no interest shall be recoverable, unless there shall be an express written agreement to -poy it; PYovided, lioicever, That, by way of discount, any item in au account or unliquidated demand shall, at the time payment of it might have been required, be regarded as a pay? ment upon an interest-bearing de? mand held by the opposite party. (There is no greater abuse than the bringing out, with demands of inte? rest, old accounts that have never been presented, purposely kept back, forgotten by the debtor, ii' tho cre? ditor wants interest, let bim make his bargain properly-takeanote, orsue. Justice demands that the interest on a note should bc stopped by an ac? count per contra; hut it docs md, in other instances, suggest that all the power should be in the hands of one party.) SEC. -1. In calculating the amount recoverable in any east", when, hy contract, interest has been fixed at tho rale of ten per cent, or more, the rate in courts shall bc ten per cent, for thc period intervening between the expiration of tho term of a loan and the rendition of judgment upon it. Thc tenn of every loan shall lie understood to expire when, according to tho security taken, the money lent becomes payable. (The sooner judgment is had, thc better for both parties; ten per cent. is very high interest.) SEO. 5. Interest on every judgment may be collected under execution, at i j thc rate of six per cent., counting I from the dav that judgment, was reu ? dered. (There is no greater cause of dis I appointment to debtors and fraud I upon creditors than old judgments, unsatisfied. If the creditor is not satisfied with his security and Hie rate of interest, let him collect. But let not a small debt, by accretions of great interest, swell to the ruin of the debtor ami to the injury of merito? rious creditors.) SEC. G. In apportioning the assets of a decedaut, every interest-bearing demand, shall rank as a specialty. (The great difference made between an instrument with a scrawl and one without, is a disgrace to the law, and j the frequent occasion of monstrous inequality and injustice.) C. GERRIT SMITH'S VIEWS.-Gerrit Smith, of New York, is out with a letter urging pity for the South, be? cause thc North shared tho guilt of shivery, pardon for Mr. Davis, the folly of impeaching the- President, and declaring that of all political abominntions, he knows of none more abominable than the constitu? tional amendment.

Louis city and County, 2?.BS5; Chicago and Cook County, 20,945; Boston and Suffolk County, 14,570. -o Tho Richmond Enquirer says: The grand difficulty between the North and South is briefly this- Thc North asserts the right of the conqueror to impose forcibly what it will upon the South. Tin; South admits the power, but denies thc right. The North as? serts its right to compel the South to endorse its own dishonor. Thc South rejects this interpretation. The "Texas Oil, Iron, Mining and Manufacturing Company,"' is the name of a new joint stock company that has just been organized in Texas, to develop thc oil and mineral resources of the State. The capital stock is three million dollars, and thc company starts with excellent pros? pects of success. The Richmond Whig notices thc prolits of economy and industry everywhere practiced among the Southern people, and predicts the growth of a superior race under tho new era of emancipation. (.?old for Cotton. To tho question whether tho South? ern planters should receive any thing but gold for eottoTi, a West Tennes? see farmer argues as follows: "In years, past, when we used to make three or four millions of bales of cotton per annum, wo were foolish enough to send it North and take Yankee rags for it. That system kept us poor then, and yet I fear we are foolish enough to practice tho same game now. If the practice kept us poor then, what will it do with us now? Think of this. No ono will correct this folly if the planter does not. The speculator won't, for it is by that system he thrives. Now, let the planter demand gold for his cot? ton, and take nothing elsi1. Ho can then take just so many of the Yankee rags as he is willing to in exchange for gold. So long as wo part with cotton for rags, and the purchaser gets gold, we grow poorer and he richer. Tho planter holds in Ids hands the power of redeeming the South", and no other class can. Now is the time. Sell your cotton for gold and nothing else." Upon which 4he Nashville Union and American c. mments as follows: j But ir. you sell your cotton for gold, and then pay the gold, either directly or indirectly, to the Northern man for supplies which you think you are bound to have, what do you make by the operation? Or, if you have debts to pay, and can pay them in green? backs, what do you profit by exacting the gold, and then converting it into greenbacks? You have not reached the bottom of the trouble. You must first, get out of debt-then you must make everything you want, or induce your own people to make it, for yon, and buy alone from^them. Your ex? actions of gold foryour cotton willdo you no good as long as you are com? mercially dependent on the North. That is what is the matter. Make less cotton-raise more sheep-build np cotton and woolen factories on your own soil-employ your own peo? ple to work them-produce grain and ? meats to food them-become com? mercially independent of tho Yankee and everybody elbe, and tho whole question is settled at once. If it is a "dog in the manger'' principle, you have been driven to it, and ure blameless. The Nashville Banner, in speaking of the shameless course of the Chi? cago Times, and its proposition to the Democracy to abandon the Pre? sident, says: "The President has stood by us rind we will stand by him, though the torches and turpen? tine be applied to every dwelling and the surveyor's chain to every aero in all tho broad laud of the South. PUZZLED.-The Comptroller of Georgia is somewhat puzzled to know how to collect the taxes from ne? groes. Tliey refuse to pay, change? their names, residences, and float about over the State to avoid the tax gatherer, and generally when they are picked up there is no money. So tho collectors do not know what to do, as tho law provides no remedy. Tho railway between Calcutta and Bombay is about 1,000 miles long, and is traversed by trains in about four days. The only through trafile, at present, consists of mails and car? go. European passengers cannot travel the whole distance, on account of thc heat. A mulatto woman, who rides on horse-back splendidly, and plays the piano marvelously, is among the latest sensations of Paris. THE (MUM HOUSE. t".

Thc nerves connected with nutrition and or? ganic contractility suffer alteration in their composition. The muscles, deprived of nervous intlucnce, begin to waste, and this wasto produces heat. The heart is in? creased in its action, and the Mood is ren? dered still morr- impure by receiving the wasted tissues by the continued action of the morbid agent, as well as by the func? tions of tlc-lungs, liver and spleen being impeded. Purify, therefore, the springs of life, the blood. Use tho "Queen's Delight," the great blood remedy, and all morbid agents will be removed.

If you are nervous, it invigorates every fibre of your nervous syatem, Lom the base of thc brain, where it begins, to tiie extremities, where it terminates.
