Central Bank of Georgia, / Milledgevil/e, November 2d, 1810. 5 To Hi* Excellency CuaheesJ. McDoxald : H;n—At the annual Report of the Directors in 1835, Ihe Capital !Sio k of the Central Bank was $3,593,912 (19. In the year 1837, there was deposited in the Lank 1,05i,1*i2 OJ, being the portion of the Surplus Revenue of the United States, deposited with the State of (Jeorgia.— These mm , forming an of S 3 />45,. 334 78, compose the whole capi’ai which lias j been used by this Bank in its operations. Ini’.-: accounts the Surplus Revenue is kept separate, and Urn dimin'bon of its fends charged on its Capital .Stock. On the Ith of-Vovcmher, 1839, ihe Capital Stock was reduced to $1,311,81 7 91. Its means, including t m Surplus Revenue, was -2,2G3 2iU. At t’ne present ti le the clock is reduced to $930.5 -1 44, which with the Surplus Revenue, make a cn iit ,! of $1,982 003 53, now ia the poisr ? ion of tlie Bank.

For the immediate wants of the Treasury, t,.e Bank was carapeilc J to resort to t -.e issue o; : - twn bills; bat these not being current in the City where our debt es highest i..-por tance existed, the Board resorted to the discount : and note- 1 • in New \ork and oili er cities, froai which remiitances ec uld be m.-re t easily made. To pay the interest cn the bonds of the S ale tire Bank was compelled, it part, to lesort to the shipment of specie, by which the sura in its raahs has been greatly reduced. Feeling themselves under the highest obliga tion to discharge the th at to the Pho-nix Bank, the Directors made great tflert* \v remit loons ; from this >‘ate for that From the City ; of Sa-aiiiiih. they made considerable remittan ces at heaw .asses on the exchange; but they 5 . found it irnpracticabie to remit in it's way the sura they,bad provided, even at a toss cf 9 per cent. . to »vLi int Lad submitted *n .*-t o. tbrir . remittances. The consequence has been, that about one hundred thousand dohara o: these foods, placed in tbal City for the purpose of pay- ] } ingthis del*,bave remained on hand. I ndcr- | standing that exchange between the cilDs ot Sa%a mah and ,\ew York has become much low- ■ er. the Board have directed the transmission •! these funds to be zwsin attempted, but they have no doubt of accampihhing this object with but little loss 9: • ne.

I:, 'ii.shu ty v. h ‘hr will of 'ho 1.- Le_ j I ature, llie Directors ol the Central Bank have si cuji: let d a distribution of $750,000 by loans to the citizens of the counties. These | loans have been eagerly sought by our citizens. By tills operation, the profits of the Bank have l»ce;. increased by the sum cf $45,000, and its notes by the sum of $750,000. Besides its debts m New York, and something due to depositors, the Centra! Back now owes a debt of 992,336 on Us own bill- in circulation, and due on requisitions of the Legislature are, amply provided for*by its funds on hand, and its bills of exchange running to maturity. I To provide for the payment of iu bills in cir cula'.ion, the Bank must rely chiefly on $ 1,309,- t 307 43 of discounted notes, and on $381,100 I yet held in the Stocks of the Bank of the State of Georgia and the Bank of Augusta. The sale of $298,000 of these stocks has lessened cur a j mount ot notes in circulation by that amount, i and unquestionably lessenec the depreciation of cur papier. The same desirable object will be l greatly prorated by th r * sale of the $381,100 of of tnose stocks yet beid. Should these sales be effected, and our collections an discounted papier equal our reasonable expectations, the circulation of the Central Bank may, in five or six months, be reduced to a'nout $300,000 —its debt at IVew York discharged, and the interest «f the public debt punctually paid. Os the debts due by the .State, those to the laborer on her public works, were regarded with pieculiar favor. The Commissioners of the Rail Road, finding it impracticable to sell at par the State Boiids pdaccd at their di-posal, had recourse to the'expedient of issuing a kind of certificate or scrip, which to a great cxent answered the pur pose of cash in making iheir payment*. The Directors Jia-.e ordered the reception in pay- ; merit to the Bank, and in some cases, the pay ment-T these certificates. They have gone as fa a-they fell warranted by the circumstances! under the Uw« relating to the subject. But for th: expedientof the Commissioners, and the sup- t poitof the Bank, it Is not easily seen that the work could have been continued. The assem blage of the Legi-ialure with iu ample power and rc ources/wni point out to these meritorious public creditors, the source t f > which they must look for justice. At the last Annual Report, the Central Hank ht id of the notes of the Darien Bank, $118,447, ! Os this, ths IT *rd have loaned on twelve months | paper, >30,000, leaving $88,417 now in our i 1 vaults. Thu manifest advantage »f placing this fund a', interest, to be paid by individuals, instead I of holding a claim of interest against the Bank, seven-tenths of whose stock is owned by the ■State, lias induced the Board to make these loans. The borrowers have been debtors es the Bank of Da i n, who have thus been enabled to pay their | debts to that. Institution. If the Legislature will authorize tho Board to I ke from the Bank ol Darien cn the usual terms of their loans on dis* j tribution, any good notes it may offer in ex- j chan e tor it ; bill?, it may result in general ad- j vantage to both institutions. The heavy amount of debts due by the people —the low price of property and commodities, and the poor reward oi lobar, has rendered the collec tion of money due the Bank exceedingly diffi cult. Our receipts have been greatly increased , by the monied facilities ari°mg from our distribu tion of > 750,000 , which is notv coftK*i < ' , e j jr This distrioution has almost entirely been loaned in | small sums, and the groat amount of indebted- : ness thus transferred from creditors, who would | not wait, to the Bank, which will await tne an mial return of tiic industry of the planter, has j operated a* a relief to thousand- of our most ; lOpri-onaiw clt reus.

From the Richmond Compiler. Death of Frote—or DavU. or rat UNITEEtiTT. It is with pah we announce the death of this ; esteemed gent u a-;. the able accomplirhed Profes sor of Law of the L’nireisitj of Virginia. He , died Saturday mein r g from a wound imined by a pistal shot on t.e Thursday night previous, un der me ? -ho •- .ns circumiur.:es. Thursday n:a;.t was the anniversary of a ho! w hich occurred a few years since at the College, and which Las been regularly observed by some act of disobedicace to the C. /.-ge reg;:i sties;-. among those wb* cher ! ish the recollection of ti.e scene, or who sympa thise in the factious spirit of the rioters. Aeout nine o’clock there w: - much disorder in the i. wa, and especial indignity was etlereJ the Professor 1 bv noire? near Lis do r ; he went out to suppress the disturbances, anicame up to two or iiree in dividuals who were mask'd. He reached forward to ra se the ina-k. of He at them when ;.e retrea : ted, and the Professor lolloping him up received from him a pistol shot which took effect—fatal it ; has turned out to be ; bat at the time it was not considered mortal. The ball entered just below the nave! and is said to have passed around the abdomen down to the lleshy part of the thigh, whence it was extracted. The Professor linge red in great agony until Saturday morning about Id o’clock, when he was relieved by death. Two students have been arrested and were ex amined Saturday, and the examination was to have been continued yesterday. One of them bad previously absconded, but rrlumed and gave himself up. The liar c even has robbed society of <m orna ment ; our principal Literary Institution of a pro found scho ar and jurist, who has done muc.i to raiae it to its present elevated position. The follow ing are the proceedings at a meeting of the students, hekl the day after the articling occurrence : At a very full meeting of the students of the University of Virginia, held on the ISih ot No vember, I s 10, the following preamble and resolu tions were submitted by Mr. F. R. Rive.-, and unanimously adopted: As our a !e and dislin u-sbed Professor of Law has been severely wounded by an individu al who deliberately shot him last night, without the slightest provocation on the part of Mr. Da- ! vis.it behoves us as students of the University of j Virginia to express, in the strongest terras, our , indignation at such conduct—conduct equally i shocking to every sentiment of honor, every obli -1 gation of morality, and every principle of huma- j 1 nity. \Ve had hoped that crime had never found a resting place within these calm retreats, ‘-whose threshhold the distracting cares of the world, or its Ireguiling pleasures, never cross"—it was but a sweet self-delusion. Let us not sorter the vivid recollections of our University apprenticeship, that are reserved for us 1 in future, nor the present glowing sympathy in | each other’s elevating pursuits to be dimmed by j this dark deed of a single person, with whom wc , consider it a sad misfortune to ow n a community of nature, but boldly cast off every imputation that may be made against our honor as a body— | for such wc would regard any and every remark ] implying our justification of the abominable act : —by the adoption of the following resolutions: 1 ’ Resolved. That we sincerely regret the unfor- i lunate accident that has befallen our Professor of Law, Mr. Davis, and earnestly hope that a spec- . dy recovery will enable him to resume the duties > of his chai r . Resolved, That we will use every possible ex- t ertion to find out the perpetrator of the act. that c he may receive his merited puishment—the odium and contempt of the students—expulsion by the I Faculty, and a just condemnation by the c»m- petent tribunals of the country. Resolved, That we view the author of the out- ,j rageons crimefoniy in the light of a base assassiii t if such words are adequate to express the force t of our opinions. Resolved, 'That these resolutions be published in the Collegian, the Charlottesville, and Staun ton papers, J. L. ORR, Pies’t. A. P. A\ ftiTEHF.AU, Scc’y. F ire.—A fire broke out in the grocery store of Mr. Bernard Donlin, 29 Common sheet, at five d o’clock yesterday morning. The progress of the flames was so rapid that all attempts to save the store or any of the property* proved unavailing; 1< indeed it was the airaost superhuman exertions of the firemen alone, that prevented the fire froin spreading to the adjoining buildings and consum ing the whole block.—Thomas Mackcv, Mr. v Doniin’s clerk, and two other men, whose names are John Byrno and P. Kane were sleeping in the - third story. They were surrounded by the blaze before they awose. Byre and Kane jumped down on the sidewalk, and both aie severely in jured. Both Byrne’s arms are oroken and his st head badly hurt. The spine of Kane’s back is it n is said broken ; doubts are entertained of his re covery. Mr. Mackey, fortunately for himself, in- _ stead of jumping down, sprang cn the window ol the adjoining house, where he remained until a ladder was brought, though the blaze was play ing around him and burned'him in the arm. Mr. Donl.n had the goods of the store insured - for SIO.OCc —-their value is supposed to be abem Fhe house is owned bv J. Urquharf. 1 he nra ia supposed to have originated neanha - oor in the lower story, bu*. the cause is a my stery.
