Debate in Ihn Sotiatc.?Tuesday, May 25.
Jhiriitrj // const*// ratio)! of the hit! to authorize
a loiin not f :<>.(} the xttm < / .$ 13.000,000.
Mr. Simmons, of Rhode Island. I liave before
me a statement as to failure?, taken from a
paper called the Commercial Agency : and
tlics? ppr?j?lc have the failures with vondcrful
n*cni*acy. 1 hsvo made a comparison of the
failures in tlie different citic?, and 1 find that,
the more wealthy the city, the larger the fail
ures; the more coin in a city in proportion to
the circulation, the snore failures there were.
'1 lie aggregate of tiie failures during tlio prosout
revulsion in tlie United Status, up lo the l?t.
of January, amount to about $2tt0.000,ooo : of
which $130,000,000 was in the cit-y of New
York, $1*2,000,000 in Boston, fcss/iun.ooo in
1'hiladelphia. and $?>,000,000 in New Orleans.
I have looked over the bank returns of those
four cities to pee the relative proportion of their
coin and circulation, and I found that they receu.tly.biul
$61,000,000 of coin in the ban's
vaults to about $1 ."1,000,000 of bills in circulation?between
three and four dollars in e<>|.|
and silver to one in pap< r. Then 1 took the
city of CSuirh-!-t->n, which did not run into over
importations. They have, I believe, about one
hundred thousand iieoule. ns 1 \i-n? lot.I ti..?
late worthy Senator from lliat State ; and I
heard liis nueeessor say, the other day in llu*
Senate, thai the imports this yar had tiucntwo
thirds what they ordinarily were.
Mr. IlayiK1, nfSiitth ('oruiinn. We do ii"(
with to appeal under borrowed cninrv. The
popu)utiun ol'Charleston is about sixty thou
a tnd.
Mr. SimnoiH. Well, it i-n prolty old eity,
nnd a good one. and, I think, a very respeela
Me.one. The failures there did not nmontit to
over one million dollars.
Mr. llnyue, I'.h-ss my soul, sir ! we bad not
u einirle failure that 1 l-e.iw <.r
Mr. Simmon?. These th inp? are pretty apt
to bo correctly stated ly Midi p:ip<;i> as I
?V1otc from.
Mr. Hay no. The Senator says tliat Charleston
is not sin importing city. Although wo do
not import. directly from Kntrland, wo <1o not
in sonic measure import, and import largely,
from New York, mid from Ronton, mid from
I'll ladclphiii, nny pay just as much, and more,
than if imported from ahroal directly.
Mr. Simmons. If 1 can ?>t this i?y>'cni goinjj,
I hope to cive you a fair shsiro of the importation*.
I find that in the city of Provi- j
deuce, with a population of about fifty thou- !
Baud, a population loss than that of ('h:n lestou,
flic failures amounted to $1,500,001). Wo nre
connected in trade with the large cities ; we;
sell our products in New York, whom it. i*
mingled with ilio importations, and nn over '
importation is just as fatal to the producer who
polls t?is produce in those great, markets, as if |
ho has engaged in importation himself, for the j
produce is sold to the same class of pnich.Kcrs J
and their failure involves everybody that deal*
with then. The Senator from South Carolina
is mistaken. ] find in reference to the figures '
that the failures in Charleston wore thirty one
in number, and amounted to
Air. llayne. 1 think thai i? a mUtake.
Sir. Simmons. 1 think my statem-.Mst is cr
reet. The failures in Charleston were the least |
of any sea-port town of any magnitude in the j
United States. The city of Providence has a :
hank capital of ?14,000,000. just' about the ;
name ns ilic iiank capital oi the whole State of i
South Carolina ; and we had a circulation at!
Ilio time of the suspension of about, one million i
right hundred thousand dollars, with coin to ;
the amount of, perhaps, five hundred thousand
dollars, deposits in other hank", nnd < tli- '
cr means that we could draw on to meet it.
Mr. Seward, of New York. Whvic was your
circulation ?
Mr. Simmons. All over the country?wcst.l
nnd everywhere. That city had failures to the !
amount of ft 1 ..TOO,000, live times as
much as the the city of Charleston ; and the
hankinp institutions of South Carolina, with]
?14,00i?,000 of capital, had $1 t>,000,0u0 of im- j
mediate liabilities in l!?a form of circulation
and deposits, with less than a million in specie !
to meet them; and yet that was the most J
sound city in the United States, showing that \
the proportion of coin had no more to do with i
the revulsion than the cotton which is to he j
raised next year had to do with it. Over im- '
j?ortations upset the country. It seems, however,
there is the same feelini* in South Carolina
that there is in the Senate : and I received
a speech from a gentleman in the South Caro- ;
unit j.vjiirtiiunret wincli lie made in Dcecember 1
last on the subject.; and the Senator from South j
Carolina gave me a copy of their hank returns |
?the report of liieir comptroller on finnnce. j
The com]>troller of finance rccotmni-ndcd to the
Legislature of South Carolina, in order more severely
to chastise the delinquent hanks, to in- 1
crease the penalty on them for issuing bills
when the}-were under suspension, from five
p?r cent..; as it then was, to ten per cent-., nnd
denouncing them in the ftrongest terms. The
gentleman who sent me his speccli did not fall
into that notion, l>ut proposed to repeal the j
penalty altogether, and carried it through the ,
South Carolina Legislature.
Mr. llayne. Not altogether. litre let me
say a very few word?, with the Senator's permission.
I think the cause of our stopping
Ttas that we-hnd a Bank of the Stnte of South
Uarolina that has not a shadow of responsibility
attached to it. It-iffT-the People's JJank ;
? ^ u_\ iiiuounc government,
nod it is public property, to be stolen and speculated
upon , and that l>nuk had accommodated
almost every person in the community that.
wuBTiiot well oil't nnd when the crisis came,
*lic went by the board first. I f she could have
stood, there would not, hnvcbccn a sinirlebank
in the State of South Carolina thai would have
suspended.
Mr. Simmon*. I think it is very likely,
r Mr. Haync. In Alabama they tried the experiment,
and my friends ean say they lost the
whole of their capital there.
Mr. Simmons. I never knew banks that
would be likely to suspend if they never accommodated'n
customer. Everybody can man
a-jc a bank so that there will be no suspension,
by not lendingmoney. 1 think- the Jbink of
the State of South Carolina is the only bank
-that deserves a banner in the State, if the rest
.di{l not loan their mony and they did. I honor
them for it. It is what they were incorporotor)
*n /Ja
Mr. llayne. Tlicy nil did it litit the Charleston
Tlank and ihe ITnion Rank.
Mr. Sifnmons.?Tell me about the banks sustaining
themselves "gainst a pressure, when
tlie whole mercantile community arc falling
about them, and not loaning money ! They
will fiu^no sympathy from me in Bueli a course.
I am not concerning the suspension ; I am only
naylng tlmt, after .this denunciation of the
banks by tbu ofliccrs of South C-rolina, they
1iA<f intelligent men in the Legislature who got
this law repealed ; and thcy'eontinned suspended
after the J?r?nks in the Northern cities had
resumeJ, and wisely so continued. Instead of
layin^Hbls revulsion on the bankV, 1 think
that those 'who continued to accommodate the
community, and sustain the crops, acted wise
j.?me nme resumption was tnlkc?l of in
'Houth Carolina, cotton in Liverpool was fire
:?ndj* half pence a pound. It had gone down
in four months fronj nine and "a half to five and

resumed specie payments at the time it was
talked of, end other Southern t&nk* had done

^ou^U?v?-iioiie at five ?nd a halfpence ; but
ince*t$/t, dtp ticommorlnting the public without

Plethora of Specie. "?
Tlie New York correspondent of the Char- im

"'.Not only does gold continue to be piled up in jy
the banks here, but silver seems to bo a drug, tin
Some of them hold it in f-ucli quantities that ou
they insist upon paying it out on nil occasions.
Ittivesso much trouble in keeping the nc- ti,
counts, that all the banks arc trying to run du
down their amounts. One of the city banks re- !,e
fus'";d to pay gold for its own bills, when it was j".'
required for custom house use, prolTcring ail- w|

of o previous notice, which was organize*! hy
calling the Hon. J. N. Whitner to the Chair,

but very appropriate speech, explained the objects
of (lie meeting, mid insisted upon the importance
of some public demonstration of feeling
upon the subject, as well as the necessity
for taking such action as miirht be itroner to
1 secure tlie construction of our pari of the pro

I the following resolution :
Kesolvrd, That we regard the construction of
' the Air Line Railroad from Atlanta, Georgia, ;
i to Anderson, S. (J., as a matter of groat impor|
san<*e, not only to those places and the inter|

The Increase of the Navy.
AVc find the following report of the remarks j
of Senator Hammond, upon the proposition of j
Senator Mallory of Florida, to construct ten'
new steam sloops of war, at an aggregate cost |
of $1,200,000 :
lie did not entertain this as a wor measure
indispensably necessary for our interest as a I
great commercial nation. Referring to the !
tone of the recent speeches, lie said we cannot ;
liuild a navy, like Aladdin's palace, in a night. !
We cannot raise ships l?v resolutions of Con- !
gross. To raise nn army you liuve hut t<? light I
up the fires from t liu li ill tops; hut tlie con-!
fit ruction, equipment ami training of a navy is ]
the work of lime. Itv looking nr. other conn- '
I tries, we find tlie deficiency of our navy, com- '
pared with other countries. Denmark, Swo- !
! den, and other small States, have navies equal j
I or superior to ours. Every stump orator in ilic ;
! country insists on taking Cnha, and whipping '
j out Spain ; yet Spain has a larger navy than j
ours. He (Hammond) f<dt these insults in the ,
Gulf 09 if lit? hntl tinAii ir? Il?? 11.. .
I could not l>e content with ft more apology, ari<l !
i hoped that our force in the Gulf will, either
I with or without onions, capture or sink one of :
I the offending vessel8. But these additional i
9loops ftre not a measure of war with Great !
' Britain, lie would met that issue when it i
| came.
I In the House of Representatives, in the con!
sideration of the same subject. Mr. Keitt ie reported
to have said :
"Mr. Keitt., of South Carolina, was willing to
put the lakes in a proper stnte of defence. lie
was not prepared to prophecy the result of the
impending difficulties with Great Britain, but
in his judgment there would now be no war,
nor would he do nnything to produce it. At
the same time, even at the hazard of a war. he
would resist the right ofsearch, a right which
Great Britain will never voluntarily relinquish,
and out of which war must ultimately grow.
Great Britain would then rush on her own destiny,
sink into a third-rate power. While she
can bear a rival, she can never hear a master.
We arc now becoming master of Great Britain
in intelligence, natural resources and commerce,
in all that constitutes power. She must sink
into insignificance. He would put the country
in a slate of defence while the negotiations are
pending, the only result of which will bo a
postponement of the hostilities."
Episcopal Convention at Greenville.
From an account of the late proceedings of
tho Annual Convention of theKpiscopal Church
held at Greenville, 011 the 9th, 10th, and 11
inst., which appears in the Charleston Courier,
we make the following extract:
ine ooininmoo on me university of the
South reported favorably, bntnn the Report
and Resolutions adopted aro riot at hand, we
will not undertake to state them.
The Committee on the Diocesan Seminary also
reported favorably, and their Report and
Resolutions, framed thereupon, having been
adopted by the Convention, a Board of three
clerical and three lay trustaes were elected, to
which was committed the duty of putting the
scheme into active operation, ns soon as funds
sufficient could be collected. For the present,,
the Seminary will be located at Camden,and
the Bishop announced to the Convention his
intention of nominating the Rev. E. Reed, the
Rev. P. Trapier, and tho Rev. T. F. Davis, r.s
Professors. The Bishop's address, defining his
own position and announcing his intentions in
this respect, gavo great satisfaction to the
Convention.
Avery gratifying and considerate resolution
was unanimously passed by the Convention, requesting
the Bishop to suspeud his arduous labors
for a period of sijc months and travel abroad.
To enable him to do so, a sum of $1,200
was voted by the Convention. This 'resolution
was ofFered during the Bishop's absenoe,
the Rev. Mr. Sband being in Chair. It was
ijuim uiiexpecwja oy me uisnop, who reiurnea
his warmest thanks to the Convention, and
promised to take the matter iato consideration.
This resolution was offered by H. D. Leseene,
Es<j.
The Standing Committee of the Diocese remans
the same as it *11 last year. The Delegation
to the General Convention. for this
year, was altered by the substitution of C?l.
Calhoun, of Abbeville, ajpd Col. Aldrich, of
Barnwell, in place of Gov. Allston and Dr.

( CONCLUDED.)
We visited, in company with Mrs. Speaker,
Orr, the
WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Mi's. Orr introduced to thegentleinnn who pro- j
sides over the work, who very promptly und
politely allowed us nil the different blocks of
curved stones that were ready to he put up, inside
the obelisk the shaft of which has now
reached a considerable elevation this shaft, is
seventy feet in diameter, and intended to be
raised nix hundred feet from the ground, or five
hundred feet above the top of the rotunda.
which will form the gtand base of the iiionu- j
inent. "flie site of the monument, is on the I
mall, between the President's house and the i
Potomac; the grounds around are nisceptible '
of being beautified; and made a pleasant resort
for recreation to the inhabitants of the cil-v.? '
On (he ground floor of the obelisk it is intended
to place the marble sarcophagus, that contains
tfi'e remains of "The Father of his Country."
This appears to u.j, to be the proper
place, when it is finished according to the design
adopted J>y the board of managers, which
design is as follows:
" The grand base of the monument will be
surrounded by thirty column* of massive pro- i
portions ; twelve feet in diameter and forty live !
Teei nigh ; elevated upon n base twenty feet in j
height, and three 111111< 1 ro J feel square, surmoun- i
ted by an entablature twenty feet high, and j
covered l?y n massive balustrade, fifteen fool in
height. The terrace outside tlic colonnade will j
he twenty-fire feet wide, and the walk within i
the colonnade twenty-five feet. The front por- j
tico will be adorned with a triumphal car, and i
Btatuc of the illustrious chief; find over each |
column around the entire building, will be j
sculptured escutcheon* and the coats of arms |
of each State of tin; I"ni ?n, surrounded by j
bronze civic wreath?, banded together by fes- |
toons of oak leaves, while the centre of the j
portico will l>e ctiblazoned by the coat, of arms j
of the United States. Around t'ie rotunda, i
wil be pSaccd statues of the signers of t!ie j
Declaration of Independence; in niches pre- |
pareil for the purpose statues of the Fathers j
of the Revolution contemporary with Wash- j
inglon will be placed, and directly opposite to |
the entrance; will be placed the statue of'
Washington.
The interior of the shaft will be embellished |
wiiu 11 grciiL variety 01 inscriptions; at one
point it will lie ornamented with four of the
leading events of Washington's career sculptured
in basso rclirvo, nhove which will lie
placed a single star : cmldematic of the glorjwhich
the name of Washington has nUaincr*;
and in the centre of the monument will be
placed the tomb of the "Father of his Country.
"
Inside
the obelisk will be an iron staircase, !
running to the top, with n floor, every twenty I
feet giving, as it were, twenty-five rooms from j
bottom to top ; from the floors of these rooms j
can be seen all the sculptured stones basso re- I
liefs. and inscriptions that ornament the inside :
j
of the shaft. These ornamental stones are the j
free will offerings of the world, to the memory !
of Washington; who tlint looks on these, but !
must feel the impress mude on ijie world by the !
good and great (Jeorge Washington.
Hie su]>crintcn<lnnt chipped oil" for us several
fragments of the stones thut had been *ent from
different parts of tlie world ; lie also gave llr?.
Orr a full-length portrait of Washington to
present to us, we prized it much, for tlie man- !
ner in which it was given.
Onr next visit was to tho Congressional
burying ground, or
NATIONAL CEMF.TKRV.
This is situated about one mile east of the
Capitol ami contains about ten acres of ground, !
enclosed by a brick wall; and ornamented with I
i trees, and shrubbery. Upwards of six thou- ;
sand already tenant this "City of the iJend.''?
We felt solitary nn<l mournf>il as we wandered
among the monuments, to the memory of the
dead, and more 6o, when we reached the spacious
vaults, for the receptiou of the dead
I liicuiuui3 wi vuiigrt'cjs, lor in mm. gloomy cnclosure
lay one of South Carolina's ngeil Senators,
who hnt yesterday, was animated with
life, and all its instincts, and feelings, now cold,
innnimnte, nnd still ; yc*, all that rcmnincd of
JommIi Kvans was there, wrapped in the habilunienls
of death, ami deposited in the tomb of
the dead. We felt that in him, we had lost a
friend, nnd our heart hi-at in uniFon with the
feeling. We could discover that many members
of Congress from different States of the
Union were buried here; the names of many
of Carolina's honored sons are engraved on the
cohl marble, which added to the mournful interest
of our visit to the Congressional Ccnteter3'.
Two long rows of marble monuments,
commemorated t lie names of dead member* of
Congress wliose bodies rest at their fur distant
homes; wo noticed the names of several of our
own sons, who had fallen in the harness of our
country ; we left this "City of the dead" in nn
humble stute of mind, and wended our way to
the
NAVY YAHP.
This is situated on a branch of tho Potomac,
called Anac'ostra or eastern branch, it covers
an area of about twenty acres, enclosed by a
substantial brick wall; a handsome arched gateway
at the foot of eighth street, is the princientrance,
guarded by matincs. There are several
substantial and apparently comfortable
dwellings, which, wo were told are occupied
by tho Commodore, Executivo Officer, 1st Lieutenant,
Sailing Master, Surgeon, Gunner, and
Boatswain. Tho duties of these officers require
their constant attendance in different
part of the yard ; all goes on like clock work in
every department; the workmen are skillful
mechanics, and the labor saving machinery of
the most approved modern invention ; tho forges
are are kept in blast, by a fan Mower, pot
in motion by a steam engine ; two heavy hammers,
worked by steam, are seen forging into
shape huge anchors for-lho use of tho Navy;
here, also, may be seen at work, what is called
"a Direct Action Steam Hammer," in connection
with a blast furnace. This i? used to work
up all the scrap iron of the establishment, Into
blooms and bars, for fatnre use. In another
part of the establishment, are manufactured
those massive chain cables for large ships; they
have a finish for such heavy work; the strength
of these cables are tested by a powerful bydrostatic
press, and none are used but what
stand the giant pull, of this machine. One of
the hammers at the Anohor forge, we were told,
weighs three thousand six hundred pounds.-?
In another pnrtof this great establishment, wn?

particularly to one used to the quiet home (

Tho Difficulty between Senators Davis and
Benjamin.
Washington, June 8.
Ail o.Ti'il in:; |>as?atre of arms look place in
1 lit: Senate to-day, between Mr. I>avis, of Missi>si[?J>i,
and Mr. Benjamin of Louisiana.
Mr. Benjamin was speaking on tlio Army
bill, when Mr. Davis said. I will correct the
Senator, as that seems to lie the point of liis
argument. The Secretary of War docs nsk
money for breech loading arms, costing from
$30,000 to $-10,01)0, nml part of this $100,rti>0
is to go this Way, according to his application.
Mr. Benjamin?replied?1 <lo not understand
that the Secretary has asked for any part of
this $100,1)00 to purchase breech-loading lirearms.
If he has, 1 am ver}* mneli mistaken.
Mr. Davis?Oh, I will stale the very simple
fact that, he asks money to buy breech-loa'linir
arms. Whether this one hundred thousand
dollars is to be paid out of the treasury I do
not know.
To this Mr. Benjamin replied?It was very
lur nit; oviiJiMn iu ui??' n wuwnnij rOJMV
as to wliat wus certainly a very respectful in(jniry.
Mr. Davis?I consider it as an attempt to
misrepresent a very plain remark.
Mr. Benjamin?The Senator is mistaken, and
lias no right to 6tate an}' Mich thing. His manner
is not agreeable at all.
Mr Davis?If the Senator happens to find it
disagreeable I hope he will keep it to himself.
Mr. .Benjamin?It was directed to me nnd I
will not keep it to myself. I will reply to it
inRtantcr.
Mr. Davis?Yon have got it, sir.
Mr. Benjamin?That is enough, sir ; I shall
not again ho diverted from public duties.
It is everywhere rumored and believed true
that Mr. Benjamin has sent Mr. Davis a challenge.
The affairs is serious, and mutual friends
ever since the colloquy have been engaged in
the cndeAvor to effect an honorable adjustment
Senator Johnson, of Arkansas, was tl>e bear
r of the challenge. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, is
Mr. David' friend.
Washington Nowa.
Washington, June 14.?Congress adjourned
to-day. The Senate will conveno to morrow,
to transact executive business.
Washington, June 12.?Congress have agreed

and New Orleans.
The appropriation of or.o million for tho building

Wabiiinotom, Jupe 10.?In the House the
Naval Appropriation bill was taken up ; the
Senate's amendment providing ft>r tho feonstruc
lion of five propellers and oae Bide wheel
steamer for the China seas, was, on motion of
Mr. Boeook, amended by increasing tho nirm
ber of propollora to ten. A similar proposition
has already been rejected in the Senate, but it
is said the Houso will insist upon the proposition.
On motion of Mr. Cochrane, th? construction
often iron screw gun-boats was authorized
; and an amendment providing for
four vessels for the Northern lakes was agreed
to. The President was authorized to borrow
(1,000,090, at six per cent, payable semi-annually,
to defray the expense of building these
vessels. An amendment providing for furnishing
tfio ship Franklin with steam engines
and launching her was passod. Altogether the
llouse yesterday provided for increasing^, the
navy by the'addition of twenty-five effective
steam vessels of war. The Army Approbation
was next consider?tk, and tho Senate's a
mendment appropriating $1,286,000 for fortifications
