We extract the following, from a private letter, from a brother typo, dated New York, Oct. 3, 1857: " Business is in a desperate condition. Many of the country banks have suspend ed specie payments, and hardly any bills, except city, will be taken for full value. Thousands of the poor, have to pay from 10 to 20 cts. discount, upon the money they now have, consequently, business is nearly at a stand-still, in all its branches. Some of the printing offices, (the largest Look and job offices,) have suspended la ter, for the present la some branches of business, laborers have been reduced to eight hours' work, per day, and some even less, when they indeed work at all. This will, indeed, be a disastrous winter for the poor. I hope, however, we will all find enough to do, to cupply us with sustenance ; but in all prob ability, the kind offices of benevolent soup makers, will again be called iuto requi sition."

There are a few stran gers in town the forerunners of the great migration here this winter, of office and pleasure seekers. Your Delegate elect is in town, and is received with a cordial welcome by the heads of the different Departments. What a contrast there is lietwocn him and tho insignificant Chapman. B. B. Chap man is here al?o, and trying to oppose and embarass all of judge Ferguson's move ments how effectually remains to be seen. He is received with coolness, and is not recognised as having nny right or voice in matters connected with the Territory, al though he claims he should be heard. I heard a story from some of Chapman's friends accompanied with a wink that there was a case before the Interior Di partment in which Judgo Ferguson wns implicated someting about his pre-empting a piece of land on which he had not lived according to law, I took the trouble to call and examine the matter, thinking it might be interesting to you. There is nothing of ii a mere humbug varn no papers being on file as reported", and no such case known to the Department. The substance of the matter is, it is a base falsehood circulated by B. B. Chap man and his friends to the prejudice cf Judge Ferguson. Yours, G. F. O. The State laws require N. O. Banks to keep an amount of specie on hand equal to one-third of their liabilities. The pen alty for falling below this is 6-100 on each director for every day that the bank is " out of line," a pretty effectual bar. to expansion.
