ARMER8' BANK OK KENTUCKY.?$500,0(11) ADDI
tiouai Stock.?The buiiaeai of tht Farm era' Bank aui
?cverkl b^aBchaa, having bean found to deiaaud a material
i.?f,r*,V" ?ri^' ?to?k. th.) Hoard of Directors of tha
1 riaoipal Bank, at Frankfort, now offer Five Thousand
Productive and desirable stovk, at par.
On Thursday, 12th June. from 12 to 12>. u nlock, subscrip
tions will ke received by the under-.iguei, at the Hsu king
ilouve of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company, No.
45 H all street. 1 "
The shares are One Hundred Dollars each. The Farmers'
Bank was incorporated by the Legislature of Kentucky, at
the session of 184^-'50, in pursuance of reports from Ihe Com
mittee ou Banks of the Senate and House of Representatives,
setting forth the insuthcienc v of the banking capital of the
State, as limited for a period of near tweuty years past, to
the Bank of Kentucky, the Northern Bank of KcntucKy. aud
Bunk of Louiiville.
The Farmers' Hank of Kentucky wu, therefore, lncorpo
rated, with a capital of $2,050,000.
About Ji70O.uA) of the stock wae subscribed in Kentucky
aud in the city of C'inoinnatl, upon which the bank liae been
transacting a nimbly eucccestul business since laat fall. The
Urge aiuonuti of eafe aud productive paper drawn npon
ahipmenta of hemp, bale rope, bagging, tobacco, produoe,
live atock, Ike., vastly exceeding the ability of the bank,
with its (iresent means, to purchase, render this proposed in
crease of capital an unusually safo and lucrative investment
for capitalists; while the extensive agricultural, commercial
and iranufactaring distriots, upon whioh the bank relies for
its patronage, will, in return, reap the most important bene
fits, and insure the continued prosperity of the bank, by a
rapid and lull deveFopsmeut of the resources of the country.
The leading characteristic of this investment it its safety.
For a full copy of the charter, with by-laws, rules, and re
ha<*
gulations sse pamphlet, which oan be had at tiie Trust Coin
pany Hank, No. 4.1 Walt street. These contain provisions of
such a nature as to afford the strongest guarantee to the
stockholders and patrons of the Farmers' Bank of Kentucky
that their rights and interests are fully protected by legisla
tive and other safeguarde. The undersigned takes pleasure
in referring, also, as an ample grouud or conftdenoe, to the
well-earned reputation of the|Banka of Kentucky, for honeat,
prudent and skilful management.
The attention of capitalists is also called to the produc
tiveness of this investment. For particulars, see pamphlets
and circulars. The curreut business of the bank is highly
I free -
satisfactory in ita nature and results, showing that the direc
tory w ill doubtlcas he enabled to divide live per ceut aerai
aiinually, and accumulate a handsome surplus fuud.
Dividends will be paid ill this city at the Ohio Life and
Trust C'ompauy, or other bank, of which due notice will be
given.
The present condition, busiuess, and prospocts of the Far
mers' Hank, must iuaure a rapid advance of ita (took above
par, placing it upon a similar footing w ith the stock of the
liauk of Louisville, the Hank of Kentucky, and the North- 1
ern Hnnk of Kentucky, which are now scarcely to be had at :
the advanced rates or premium asked. The former is now I
quoted at 101% a 105, the Northern Baok at 111 a llljd, and
the Hank of Kentucky at 100>? a 107. A long course of sue- j
ocs-ful business hus deservedly placed the stock of these in
atitutlons high in the estimation of the holders.
The practical operation of the hank has shown that the
locations of the branches are eminently favorable, mad indi
cative. without exception, of liigbiy profitable result*.
The field thrown open to the farmers' Hank for the tram
action of a successful buaiuesa iu Kentucky, and neighbor
ing States, it undoubtedly superior to any other in the union.
The credit and standing of the Kentucky Banks are equal to
those of any other State.
The notes of the Farmers' Bank now form an important
part of the circulating medium ol the Mississippi Valley, '
passing current flora Pittsburgh to NewOrleaas. The notes 1
of the Kentucky Banks have in general o?ininanded a pre
uiiumover other bankable funds at Cincinnati, aud have '
never been at a discount. It maybe safely aald that no
Banks in the Union are better managed. Their capital* ar*.
to a large extent, employed in the purchase of bills drawn
against shipment* of staple products, of which tli* single t
county of Bourbon exported in value $ I, lOO.iXJO during the
year IxW. It is believed that such a Held for banking opera
tions, based upon the produce of the soil, in a highly flourish- I
ing district of country, with the entire West and Southwest
for the circulation of its notes, ia surpassed by none ot'ser.
A third favorable feature of this atock is it* porm vnence.
The capital of the Farmers' Bank of Kentucky expires on the
brat day day of May, lr.-aJ, and haa therefore now, with no
power reserved by the Legislature in anywise to alter or oon
trol it. twenty-nine years to run.
The charters of nearly all the western and southwestern
hanks expire during the next ten years, and iu the great ma
jority of easel will not be rc-granted, or will be divested of
their moat valuable provisions and privileges. Tie thirty
JU||' charter Of the Farmers' Bank off.-rs, therefore, the '
advantage of permanence, while it will secure a field of cir
culation of tha utmost value to its stockholders.
A v aluable provision of the charter will be found in section
43, to wit: "Idio Frcsidcnt aud Directors of the principal
hank shall have power and authority to purchase and trans- ,
fir auv scrip or bonds which may lie issued by the State :
I'rov id, d, not more than half the capital of sail bank pail
in, be held in such scrip or bonds at the asms time."
This section will enable the bank to realise, when deemed
expedient, whatever advantages are to be fonuil in the ayi- 1
t ni of banking npon a partial basis of State securities.
The charter of the Farmers' Bank is, in other respects, '
similar to the Northern Bank of Kentucky and the Bank of
Kentucky, with audi additional provisions and amendments
as experience has shown to he useful.
Truster hooks will h* opened in this eity for the accom
modation of stockholders, under the inspection and manage- I
ini iit of suitable officers, subject to special rules and regula
? imposed l>y directors for tha security i f the Bank.

Friday, June t?th, I*Ol. {
TO Tun EDITOR OF THE MW YORK HERALD.
On Wednesday, about 12 o'clock, I had served
upon me certain papers, which, on coming to town
this morning, I find were published in the Herald of
yestirday. It would thus seem, that copies for
publication were furnished to you before they had
been served upon me; and this very extraordinary i
proceeding, will at once open the eyes of the pub
lic, to the character and object uf this suit, and de
monstrates \ cry clearly, that that object was not
the possession of the letters alluded to, but the pub
lication of these ex path proceedings.
1 took the papers into the country with ine, on
Wednesday evening; and yesterday, after carefully
perusing tbcm, addressed to Mr. Buckham the ac
companying letter; from which however, I have
erased certain portions, which, although important
in my answer to the bill of complaint, would be out
of place here. You will judge of my surprise,
when, on coming to town this morning, with this
letter in my pocket, I was met with the astounding
intelligence, that all the papers in this suit hid
been published In the Ho all yesterday!
This proceeding leaves no doubt in my mind, of
the existence of a conspiracy of no ordinary charac
ter, to su tain Mr Willis at every hazard; and com
pels me to answer the complaint of the plaintiffs in
this suit, instead of following the course suggested
in my letter. In the mean time however, it is duo
to myself and my friends, that the portion of my
letter enclosed to yon, should appear in your columns
to-morrow; and that your readers may feel assured
of the truth of its contents, I pledge myself to em
body every word of the letter in tny answer, which,
of coarse, must be aworn to. This letter, therefore,
is entitled to precisely the same credence that it
would bavo merited if written uu lcr the solemnity
of an oath.
As soon as my answer is placed on (lie, you will, I
doubt not, publish it in extenta, as an act of justice
to all parties, be the consequences what they may;
and in the meantime, 1 am well satisfied, that the
public will not make up a judgment against me upon
the u parte testimony of those who hope to sereon
tbemselres by getting up a false issue.
Your obedient servant,
J. Wat son Wann.
P S ?I do not complain of the severity of your
remarks, based upon the sr parte publications sub
mitted. As the case ia presented, they are eminently
just; and, in like manner, I shall not complain of
what my contemporaries may publish. But it is
my right to ask, that all who may give publicity
to whst my opponents have trumped up against me,
shall, in like manner, publish the accompanying
letter, and at the proper time, my answer to the
bill of romplaint which has already appeared in
your columns. J. W. W.
Pokahof, WESTrnRstTR, June 5, 1*31.
T ? OfiORBR Bt OKHAM, K*(| : ?
Sir:?-When in town yesterday, 1 had served
np<>n me the papers in the case <>f Mr. and Mr*,
t oddingtott. bused upon your very extraordinary
affidavit. To expres-surprise at this proceeding,
w ubi be Idle, after having learned from Mr. W**"
that, on the day of my first publication, yon pro
claimed that you were the gentleman alluded to,
hi d Mr? t'oddington the female implicated, in that
11 blicati<>n; and after Willis' put Iicly pointing to
Nil- ( < ddington as the female seduced, and thus,
between jmi, virtually filling the city with rumors,
ami suspicion-, and charges in relation to her,
whi h, for aught that 1 have ever aid orpuhli-lvvl.
are alike rmel and unjust I ham-never, to j ut
er ai>\ otliej pc.-son. directly or in I recti,. intl
itiated that hlrs. ('> idingt- ti i? ? h ? party aMul.nl
to by me, and even U .-he be the person to whom
1 hail reference, I cannot perceive by what code of
moral*, or upon what principle of honor, you or
Willie, are at liberty to give publicity to the fact, i
To whomsoever 1 alluded, 1 did it in a manner
which placed it utterly out of the power of the
public to suspect any one person in particular; i
but because you wore a party to a transaction in
which Mrs. Coddington was concerned, you pro
claim that she is the female pointed at; Willis fol
lows it up with a publication to the same effect; and '
now legal proceedings are instituted upon your most ,
extraordinary aflidavit; and which, whether Mrs.
Coddington be or be not the party alluded to, must
inevitably seriously injure her character. Whether
your conduct has been honorable or just, or whether
you can reconcile it to your sense of right thus to saeri
il ? ! .1 1.1.. S.. ..<<1 in Iil-illis II W (Ko P/if.
tice an injured lady, to aid in bolstering up the rot

teuncss ot such a cn aracter
you to determine. So far a* I am concerned, 1
wi^h to tfav, that the person does not live who has
ever heart!me say or intimate, directly or indirectly,
that Mrs. Coddington is the lady to whom 1 alluded
in my publication. Nor does the being live who has
everheard une breathe a suspicion oven, against the
virtue of Mrs. Coddington, or the purity of Mary
Inmiin. liven now, 1 deny that you have any?the
slightest grounds, for assuming that 1 had retereuoo
to that lady ill my publication, but whether you
had or not, your being a party to inducing the pub
lic to believe that 1 referred to her, and your now
spreading upon record a transaction which, but for
you an 1 Willis, would never have seen the light, is
most unpardonable?not to use a harsher term.
It is not for me to divine your object in thus drag
ging Mrs. Coddington before the public. If your
aim is to screen Willis, or to craw from me any
facts or circumstance!, calculated to expose the
lady implicated in my publication, you are certainly
destined to encounter a signal failure; while as
suming that you intend no injury to Mrs Codding
ton, ninl that your purpose is to have the letters of
Mrs. Coddington taken care of. 1 propose frankly
and promptly, to meet your object without exposing
Mrs. C. The application to tUe court, names Mr.
Anivkkw Warnku, or some other responsible jnsrson,
at the receiver of the letters in my possession. If
this application lie made in good faith, then all
you have to do is to withdraw all the papers, and,
in your prefeuce 1 will deposit the letters |r?r safe
keeping in the hands of the Rev. Dr. * *' * * *,
with instructions never to permit them to see the
light, unless they she uld become necessary as testi
mony in a court of justice
W ketber you do or do not uceedc to this proposal,
depends entirely upon your object in getting up-this
proceeding \ ou anew that it it was an object to
nave the letters referred to, deposited for safe
keeping with a third party, it was only nocosiftry to
have intimated such a wi.-h to ine, to have insu-cd
my acquiescence in it. but this you huve neglect
ed to do ; and, instead, have dragged Mrs. Cod
dington'* name into court, and placed on record a
trantmction, which, but for you and Willis, the
world would never uavo heard of; and all, thit
you might, by yoitr affidavit, bobter up the char
acter of one who is a disgrace to hi? species.
Yeur aflidavit is utterly at variance with the truth;
and this 1 shall conclusively show in my answer.
Whether this is the effect of a treacherous memory,
or whether it is a part of the game by which Willis
is to sustained, 1 will not pretend to judge,
but if 1 usii to answer the complaint of Mr. and
Mrt. Coddington, baaed as it is, solely upon your
ufhdavit, I shall certainly defend myself from your
assault, so far as the placing the whole truth on
record will aeoomplish that purposo. W;th that
view 1 shall state?
Fir ?Thai you antiiely misstate the object of our
meeting with Mr. Willis, which was to compel him
to procure the necessary testimony upon .which you
could institute proceedings against Mr - C aldington
for a divorce. i ou inJermeu uie * * *
I cheerfully agreed to undertake the task, and you,
accordingly, invited him to your ottioo tor that pur
pose, and not. as is erroneously alleged in your affi
davit, to get possession of the leltors. lliat was a
matter in relation to which you knew nothing, but
which hud beon entrusted to mo, as /? .'??!'< written
testimony now in my pots(.oioaIojtcw. Nor did you
know anything in regard to the lulUn until, after
having arrauaed with II illi?' that he should set the
police at work, andproeure the necessary testimony
upon which you wore to found tlm proceedings
for (i i ear ft. I made the demand lor tdus letters still
in his possession.?bo much for y?ur accuracy in
regald to the ohjui of our meeting.
Sjvcontlhj? You swear not ?uly that the object of
our meeting was to procure these letters, but for a
purpose which cannot be mistaken, yiugetupi*
fiction about Willis' enquiring to whom he should
give the letters, bis scaling them up in a package
and placing tbem in my handi to be delivered to the
fu tlur of Mis* liuuau! Now, this isall au idle drciju,
got up for effect. Il'if/iv Wought the letters in a
scaled package, injersmM M hi* own hn wl to''Col.

1 opened most naturally, and expected?nay, h-r/m/,
to find in it some apology or explanation of his
proceeding, under his own signature. bul. instead
of this, the first letter that I read waa * ?
well calculated to melt a heart of stone, and which
should have compelled him to marry i*r the mo
ment he wna a widower, or to have allowed tho
example of Judas. ... ,
Thirdly?'You urtar deliberately, (>a? the pack

that you " would not have considered yourso.1 at

the insinuation are too palpable to be misunder

simply to have these letters placed in the hands or
Andrew Warner, or some other honorable man,

the letters referred to. hare never been out of my

DiKatiou of labor, are properly the only queatl an far the
consideration of the cot grew. Let theui be dated up
on a proper platform, ami our own cause is certain te
prosper; but let us mix tliem up witli eitranrvus and
heterogeneous matter, and our movement will be 'thrown
backward twenty years The first thing to be done Is to
shape the land rcjori" agitation into a model wrMhy of
imitation How % this to be done ' To me it appears
extremely simple. which is, by letting the question rest
on its own merits?by keeping it separate and distinct

I protest against his admission My reason* for so doing
are the following :?1st Because the negro is inferior few
the white, and any association between the inferior and
superior races, while it may elrvate the lower race, muak
certainly deteriorate the higher. Ud Because it will
army all the prejudices of ninety-ulne hundretho
ol the whites against the curat* of land reform 34.
Because nearly all the advocate* of negro equality,
boldly and uublushiugly avow the tone of the English
government; one of them recently having stated, at Sy
racuse. that " he regretted that h- had net been born In
England " Ijuincy. 1 think, was the individual'* nam*
who thus expressed himself And. also, because the in
