IWBob. P. w. Pickens made a short |jj? 4a oar Tillage laat week, having been wajsvfcit to tbeOld Rock Church, in PickaawlrH Where repose the remains of bis patriotic and venerated grandfather, General 4adr** Pickens. He he* 1 removed the My of hie father, who died in Alabama name eighteen month* ago, to the name piece, and has oommenced the highly commendable work of erecting e suitable monument oyer their graves, to tell tbe passing stranger that he treads upon hallowed ground. And while writing upon this subject, it atrikee us that a life of General Pickens is very desirable, to supply some links la tbe chain of our State history, and to perpetuate deeds of valor and patriotism, which a grateful people arc ever willing to honor, we believe it is a well established fact, that General Andrew Pickens presided over the first court ever held in this State, after the Declaration of Independence, and that his son, some eight years old, the father of lion. F. W. Pickens, drew the jury cm pan tie! ed for the court. Although General Pickens administered justice f-r a long period over a large section vi our gnu, una at a lime, too. when lie Imd to be guided by hie own notion# of right?yet it is not his character a* a civilian, so much aa his natriotic devotion to the cause of liberty, and gallant defence of our infant colony, that juetly place his name in the same rank with those of Sumpter and Marion. It was through him that the treaty of Hopewell was made, which gave to the State that large and fertile tegiori of territory occupied by the Indians. Atter the treaty was made, by which the Indian braves gave up the graves of their fathers, their wigwams and iheir hunting grounds, to the possession of the pale faces, they concluded the ceremony of ratification on their part, by drinking sentiments of fidelity and friendship to the white man. We understand that the cup used on the occasion has been presented to the widow of President. Polk We would be glad to know bow she came to be the recipient of the relic, as it might elicit some facts concerning this interesting period of our history. After the struggle for our independence had terminated, our State legislature thought it proper to pass a bill " to exempt from legal investigation the conduct of the militia while the war existed." But, so soon as the bill was proposed. General Pickens said, like the noble Marion, " If, in a single instance, in the course of my command, I have done that which 1 cannot fully justify, justice requires that I should suffer for it.** We might state many more facts, in connection with this subject, which have not annfiarAil in nsinf lass* I |fiiiiit uut uui vnjcvv 13 uicrui v to suggest that it would be a pleasant task for some writer of our own State to rescue from the uncertainty of tradition, by a faithful historic recoid, the meritorious services rendered by General Pickens, during the struggle for our independence. [Anderson Gazette <& Advocate. The Pkessurk Increasing.?It is worse than id .e to disguise the fact that the aspect of money affairs is growing more gloomy every day, and with diminishing prospects of any relief in the absence a general suspension of the Banks throughout the country. When the news of the suspension in Phila delphia and Baltimore reached here, we stated that it would lies most unwise policy in the Banks of North Carolina and Virginia to continue to pay specie, because, while they might, and would, redeem their circu lation and meet their obligations, it would be in substance as perfect a going into liquidation as if their charters had expired, and they had a given lime in which to settle up. It would be a waste of time to show that the inevitable effect of th?s would be to crush the mercantile and manufacturing classes, and their ruin would be immediately followed by the utter prostration of all the great agricultural products. This prostration has already commenced. Cotton has fallen in the last fortnight 6 cents per lb., wheat, 20 a 25 cents a bushel. and tobacco from $3 to $4 a hundred.? This fall of products, and particularly cotton, has already lowered the price of negroes materially, and they must go down lower if the Banks continue the course they are pursuing. Every interest, therefore, demands a change of policy, while there is yet time to avert a vast deal of mischief. For these views we are alone responsible, as they are given as the result of our observation and reflection, and without consultation with any President or Director of any Bank, in or out of the State. In conclusion, we say what we would have said at any time since the suspensions at the North began?that if we could multiply ourselves into a Bank Director, we would suspend forthwith, and act the part of a public benefactor in so doing. Raleigh (JV, C.) Register, of Wednesday. A Laooabd Lkandkr.?We Jearn from the Newark Mercury that a company was gathered in that city some time since, to wit ness ft marriage ceremony. The expectant i Wide w?? arrayed in her i>eat atiire, smile* shone on every face, and all that waa required to complete the group was the presence of the groom. This individual, however, very much to the wonderment of the guest*, did not appear, and no one else offering to marry the lady, the party at last broke up, and the disappointed Hero retired to sob herself to sleep. The next day, naturaliv enough, she was ill, ami so remained for some time, until at last a clergyman was called in to oooeole her in her affliction.? When be arrived at the house, his surprise ?M great to find the groom (that was to be) engaged in conversation with the lady, and bis wonder was much increased when he was asked to perform the ceremony on the spot, the man alleging that ho did not come at the time appointed because it rained, and he thought a day or two would make no difference. The lady, however, waa not ratisfled with thia excuse, and positively refused to mntry him np>n any consideration ?so that while the laggard Leander lost a g wife, the clergyman also lost bis the. The ' lady, we sre gratified to announce, bat en- _ tlrely recovered from the effects of her die- ~ appointment.

Gov. Johnson is, perhaps, the r most malignant partisan and groveling politician in the State of Tennessee, lie makes religion second to Democracy and sneers at education as promotive of aristocracy. Pro Ceasing an exclusive sympathy with the masses, instead of seeking to elevate the humble and unsuccessful, his highest ambi- < tion is to drag down the prosperous and cul tivated. In politics his agrarian principles make him the advocate of a home-lead law ?and his detestation of everything conserv , alive drives niiu to assail even the supreme # court, which noblest bulwark of our repub lican liberties he would break down by making the Judges elective by the people. I In the gradual demoralisation that is going i on in Democracy, and its increasing proclivity to mnke the more vicious propensities of the people subservient to its success, it may 1 come to pass that even such a man as An 1 drew Johnson will be the candidate of that i party for the lofty position once illustrated ] by the patriotic conservatism of Washing ton nnd adorned by the pure statesmanship of Madison.

When the matter was mentioned to the Dxar by Prince Gortschakoff he displayed 10 inclination to make advances to the Eroreror of the French, but bis Majesty eventuilly yielded to the importunity of his Miniser for Foreign Affairs, who represented to lini that it was necessary to the welfare of lis empire that he should be on the very rest terms with the French Monarch.
