Good, say see.
The Ohio Legislature. as we stated a
few days sine', at its recent setting,
granted a charter for a Bank at . Day•
ton; and when the books were opened not
-,one dollar was subscribed, They •can get
along without banks. We think that the
_experience of the last few' months fully es.
tablish the fact, that paper money banks
are not necessary in the transaction of bus
iness. The immense amounts of gold and
ailver ,now flowing into the country , from
-- gitrope. South America, the West andies
and other places, make good the theory
preached by the democrats, years ago-, that
. specie goes %there ever there is a demand
for it. The almost total destruction of the
banking system in this country, and the
consequent withdrawal of paper from cir•
colation, created a vamarn which is now
being filled up with the "hard,"---a turren
•cy which has intrinsic value, and whose
creation is'not a fraud upon tlie people.
If people can but have patience for r
while,- and not make another effort to gal
vanize "the times" by a re.issue of millions
of paper as a substitute for the only reel
currency of the world, in a very short time
all things will be restored to their former
prosperity and vigor. We see around us
here in the streets, on the wharf, in our
warehouses,—the premonitory sympoms of
the "restoration," and all that is required is
an observance, by politicians, of the injunc
tion, "let well enough alone."
Jacob Shi pain n.
,1 a Journal of Commerce of Saturday
ever.ing says: "It is not ascertained that
he kept any money which he carried on
from here, except $15,000 in French gold
belonging to the Union Bank, which he
deposited at the mint according to orders.
and then sold the certificate., Beebe &
Parsels sent on $30,000 by him, which
was honestly deposited to their credit in
Philadelphia.' The whole amount which he
took.; is estimated at $20,000 only, and he
has often bad from three to five hundred
thousand in his hands. The matter now
really lo iks more like insanity than villany
—lt is even said that he did get out of his
head once before, but it was hushed up,—
The Union Bank has offereds2,ooo reward
for the recovery of their $15,000, or in
proportion of any part thereof.
.lls illustration of Whiggery.— A per
-son,natsed Hazard, in Providence .Rhode
'lsland, drove his son from his house on
the night of the election, for having voted
the democratic t'cket. This is whiggery
all over; they make but little distinction in
the bitter proscription with which they
persecute those-who oppose them. For
.voting against there,-they will deprive the
poor man of the means of suppotting his
family, and for the same off ence they will
'deprive their own children .of ,the comforts

The Mackenzie rase at W ashivton.
The New York Commercial publishes a
few remarks on this subject which it says:
"can be entirely relied upon"—that the
Secretary of the Navy has hitherto avoid
ed all discussion of the Mackenzie case;
that he has refrained from reading the re
ports of the evidence in the newspapers,
and all newspapers comments and discus
sions thereon; being determined to keep
his mind free and unprejudiced, until he
should receive and have rime carefully to
examine the official record of the Court
Martial. The examination of that record,
and the formation of an opinion thereon, it
was supposed. would occupy at least ten
Jays. There have been no Cabinet dis
cussions on the subject of these proceed
ings,
The Bailie Axers.
Chester county. Pa. has the home of
giving birth to this sect. It is the queeres t
most infamous and damnable creed that
ever found advocates among men. Aft I
low named Gate is the founder. Then
mode of worshipping acd is after this
fashion: They arrange themselves in cou
ples (a min and a %nation) in a room,
where the 'Chief Battle Axe' exports
them—to do something, we can't say what.
When the spirit moves they dance, then
yell, then prostrate themselves on the
ground—when the lights ate blown out—
and they all roll in one mass like ells in
the mud. A man to Lecome al3attle Axer
must leave 'his wife and marry one of the
sect. He can also leave her when be
pleases.

'Solitary and alone.'--The N Y Sunday
Times is the only paper,tu our knowledge
in the United States, that has condemned
the jury for their verdict in the case of
Too Bad.—A R. I. democrat, feeling
rather to sanguiune of a triumph, brought
I a cannon all the way from Stonington to
Providence to fire a salute in honor of the
election of Carpentar; but as fate would
have it, he was defeated, when the enthug

w:—We hope in consid.
ering the subject •uf the Baltimore and O
hio rail road, our ritizens may not be led
so far astray, as to conceive that until this
be accomplished we shall not have a return
of that Prosperity once ours, and be led to
believe that we have not the power now
at once to restore, at least to some extent,in
the present times, employment,even though
it be limited for the present, to every
branch of business. If we only pursue the
means within our power, for we do hold
that no city in the Union possesses the
same aihantages for manufacturing that
we do, and that instead of aiding that bus
iness, the connexion by rail road with the
East, would have no effect calculated to
injure instead of benefiting the manufactu
ring interests of our city, by-adding to the
facilities of taking business from our doors;
and instead of waiting until this connexion
be made, we should at once go to work
an 3 bring that business which we have lost
back, by doing that which is in our power
and which no other place can do, v;z: sel
ling at such prices as will make it the in•
terest of western merchants to come to our
city to make their put uhases.
if fu r Iron, Cotton, Glass and other
manufacturers will bring down their prices
for Cash, to the lowest possible pouit,with
draw their agencies from Western Cities,
and sell, whicl. they can do, at home for
less than can be manufactured in other ci
ties, we will soon find a reasonable de
mand, even in these times, for all Pitts
burgh manufactures.
The policy of permitting agencies in
Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and other
cities, to sell for less than they will sell for
in our own market, has been most delete.
rious to the prosperity of our citizens,and
should at once be prevented by making
this the market where purchasers can be
accommodated at the lowest prices. If this
ivere so, our Hotels would, as they were
once, be full to ovetflowing, and we would
have the merchant remain with us ta make
his purrhases instead of merely passing
through,as they do at Wheeling and Cum
berland. Let our Wholesale Dry Goods
merchants put their prices down so that
there will be no induceme•'t at least fur
the Dealer u ith less means to go eastward
and not as they have done, sell by the
r•iece twenty per cent. over what it could
be hail at retail for, and we will soon find
times become better.
We are nut opposed to this or any other
improvement, but we think that in times
like the present, we have no means to
pre for such undertakings and that we
had better defer such projects until we have
means.
