2 <£l)t IDniln ©xmnintr. WWV v WEDNESDAY, JAN. 3, 1855. HqF“P. M. Sitton, Esq., is authorized to receive and receipt for monies due this office.- The banks? The communication over the signature, “ A Looker On,” we insert with pleasure. To our readers, we commend its perusal, not only on account of the important sub ject upon which it treats, but for the prac tical view which the writer of the subject. He states what is just the truth. The Banks at Augmtu are making war upon the interest of North Western Geor gia. The tables, however, may some day bo turned. North Western Georgia mav make war upon the Banks at Augusta, and whenever this state of things occurs, we fool confident as to the result. There is a body before whom these Banks are al ways humble, ami upon which they are ever ready to fawn. We mean the leg islature of Georgia—a body in which North Western Georgia is always heard, and her demands always respected. THE ELECTION. The election for Tax Collector and Ro.i oeiver, for thia oonnty, came off on yester day. We learn that Thomas B. Daniel, is elected collector. He was the whig candidate, and the democrats were beaten by tunning two candidates against him.— This is proven, wc arc informed, by com bining the votes of the two democrats which outnumber the vote of the whig elected. This should tench the party a lesson for the future, and learn the de mocracy to concentrate upon their man and never to tun a multiplicity of candi dates. We hear that this result in Ful ton, has been achieved by the defection of some, who to their disgrace, bo it t<ld, have had some cause to be under official obligation to the party. We hope in the hour of our triumph, our friends will not forget such double dealers. The sooner any party can get rid of selfish disorgan izers, the better for it. Let the mark of reprobation, and the seal of condemnation, be placed upon all such in Fulton. Since writing the foregoing, we have received the following, as the state <>f the polls in the election rufered to. FOR TAX < Ol.i.K< TOR Daniel, Whig • 405 Boyd, Dem. 301 White, Dem. 178 The Democratic yote appears to be 479. while the Whig vote is 405.

Mr. Editor:—Allow me, if you please to take a glance at the Banks, and what may be intimately connected with their operations and influence in our State. Some seventeen years ago, almost the entire trade and commercial interests of Georgia were on the seaboard and eastern border of the State. Since that time high land navigation having come into vogue, and other difficulties having been overcome, almost the entire interests and relations of the Empire State have been changed.— The trade and intercourse of the State with other States and people, have become quite as important on its western and northern borders, as on the southern and eastern, and are, every year rapidly increasing. So great, indeed, have these interests become, as to deservedly attract the attention, while it is gratifying to the patriotism, of the people. If we may not say that the State has changed its front, we may say that it has acquired a new front equal in impor tance to the old one, upon which we sus tain greater and more intimate relations with the country at large than with the ! latter, and require, as a consequence, the institution of means to correspond with the 1 change. And yet with all this change of j relations and interests, and its consequent 1 wants and demands, until recently, the North-western nnd important half of the ' State has been destitute of the life blood of all flourishing and prosperous commu nities, to-wit; Cash capital, and Banking facilities; and the recent movements made by the people to obtain, and encourage the introduction of these important means, into our midst, have been assailed with a bit terness, unsuited to almost any cause. About the time to which I have referred, a commercial crisis, very much like the present, spread all over the land. During that crisis, the Banks of Augusta and oth er parts of the State, availing themselves of the panic, simultaneously suspended specie payments. These banks continued in this position almost three years. Pre vious to this break-down, it is but just to say that the banks of Augusta had been doing something like a legitimate busi ness; and it was under such a system and policy that there had grtwn up in Augusta a thriving and prosperous dry goods trade. Other branches of trade there, were equal ly prosperous But these banks having once failed, and the people having been once compelled to tolerate their failure; and having once tasted of the immense profits and he<ivy gains realized under such a state of things; their appetites became morbid, and like the tiger, which, having once tasted of human flesh ever after seeks man for his prey, bo have these Bankscver since pursued a shaving and gouging busi ness, mowing down men and parties on the right, and on the left, without regard to consequences, the wants of communi ties, or the desolation they inflict upon the agricultural and commercial interests of the country. Ax one of the consequences of this, the flourishing dry goods trade that once existed in Augusta, has departed, and is now known only as a “thing that was.” Who can say that the change of course and conduct of the Augusta banks, has not produced this state of things in that once flourishing city ? But this is not all. So profitable has banking become in Augusta; so little real capital is required there to make large profits under the new system of banking— and not contemplated when the Banks re ceived their charters from the people’s repi e xentatives—that merchants and others, capi talists, posted up in this modern system, readily embark in, and contribute their surplus to the business. This makes the number of Bank Stockholders in Augusta very large. And hence it is, in times of great pressure lor money, and when a le gitimate business should lead them to ex tend accomodations, they never fail to tighen the screws, by giving them several extra turns, against the public in general, and embark in all sorts of speculations themselves. So numerous are these stock holders, and so adroitly ate their specula j tions managed, that it is only now and then, that an outside party, or a Public Print, can procure the means, or has the , courage to expose theii oppression, abuse , of theii chartered privileges, and audacity. It is through those very speculators, and I bank stockholders, that we hear so much ot the a good currency" through one of the Augusta papers, the Chronicle & Sentinel I have but little doubt, Mr. Editor, that I some of these banks, are, with anxiety, ; looking for the panic to spread, with the , hope that it may authorize another sus pension that will be big with speculation, and a rich harvest. But capital being in vested in some of the Interior Banks ren ders such a step far more difficult and dan gerous to them than it was in 1837. Such is but a glimse at the monied mo nopoly that keeps up so much noise, and ■ heaps up denunciations against all Banks and parties, and all attempts at banking, whether good or bad, in the interior of our i State. In view then of the great changes i that have been wrought in the State du ring the past fifteen years ; in view of the great and increasing demand in the North- Western portion of the State, for cash capital and banking facilities, in view ot the source and condition of the currency we now use, and in some respects the an tagonistical interests manifested towards this section of the State; is it not the du ty and true interest of the people to k»ok into this Bank question, and Bank mo nopoly, and see now they stand ? Banks which are good should be sustained in North-Western Georgia, and not be per mitted to fall a sacrifice to this huge pow er. As long as we have Banks in one section of the State, to have them in anoth er section where the business of the coun try requires them, is but right, though they serve only as checks upon each otli er, by balancing accounts quarterly. The Bank* of Augusta learned to “ Wild Cat” it, as well as speculate, on a large scale, years ago. Once a year, it is true, they put out their paper amongst us by the mil lion, on thirty day bills, to buy cotton; but they never foil to send their paper as for from home as their credit will permit. Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi, are the fields where they generally scatter their promises to pay. They are as far from aiding the legitimate trade of Georgia, or making an effort to develope the resources of our North-Western region, as the Czar of Russia is in promoting the freedom of Poland. The most striking effects being produced by them, and their organ at Au gusta, are the putting down, and rendering almost useless to us the new Banks. By such action the entire community suffers. Is this state of things to continue? The Atlanta Bank, the Merchants’ Bank of Macon, and the Interior Bank of Griffin, are strong, and safe as any banks in the State; and had selfish parties in Augusta let them alone, could in the pres ent crisis, afford great relief to the coun try and people. A LOOKER ON. FROM WASHINGTON. [•Special correspondence of the Daily Examiner.] Washington, Dec. 29. Congress has been unusually active since the date of my last. TLe Bill pro hibiting the circulation of small notes in the District has passed the House, and having passed the Semite, at the last Session, may be considered as law Se veral ineffectual effortshave been made by Northern Members (the region of manu facturing monopolies) to force the Presi dent into an antagonistic position in re gard to necessary and Constitutional works of Internal Improvements. They will have their labor for their pains. The President will send in his message, which I learn will be elaborate and lucid, on this subject whenever he deems the pro per time for doing so has arrived. It is more than probable, however, that he will wait until he can see, in one group, all the separate bills that are now daily pre sented to Congress, by prominent and leading democratic, before he winds up his Message on the subject. It has al ready been a subject of remark and no lit tle surprise that Col. Phillips, of the Mo bile district has not yet moved in this matter. Surely, be could safely present such a bill for the improvements of Mo bile harbor as General Shields has already offered for similar improvements in Illi nois. Here is the general schedule: For improving the harbor of Chicago, Illinois, $24,00(;. For improving the harbor of Wauke gan, Illinois, $16,000 For improving the navigalimi of the Illinois river, 815,000. For erecting » Marine; lloxpital at Galena, Illinois, 825,000 Come Col., go to work quickly, or the “oldfolks at home” will be down upon you like a stack of bricki ats. It is thought that a bill will be passed by the present Congress, erecting a Naval Station at the harbor of Brunswick in your State. The Secretary of the Navy will lend all his official weight to this object, and it is understood that he has informed Congress, by a special report, that the De partment has official sports stating that, at high tide, there are 24 feet deep of wa ter across the bar. This would be amply sufficient for our largest class vessel of war Mr. Fuller of Maine has carried through the House a resolution, calling on the President to transmit to Congress, in con nection with the Commercial report, now being prepared, in the Department of State, copies of Circular ieplies to a Cir cular addressed to the different consulates of the United States, by that Department in the early part of last year. These des patches when properly arranged and class ified by Edmond Flagg, Esq. of the State Department, who is now maturing his Commercial report, will present the most valuable mass of information, on our Me chanical, Industrial and Commercial in terests that has ever before been spread before the country. Information of equal utility and impor tance would be transmitted, annually, to Congress from that Department if an ap propriation were made for the creation of a Bureau of Commercial relations. Our i Consular despatches would alwavs supply abundant material for an annual report, that would enlighten the country at large on many subjects of vital importance to our national enterprise. For want of such a Bureau, this valuable information has, i hitherto been permitted to slumber among , the archives of the Department of State. The bill to reform the Judiciary system ) of the District of Columbia has passed the I House, and is now before the Senate—' Should it become a law, as it doubtless will, it will constitute an epoch in the his- I tory here, somewhat similar to that which witnessed in France, the destruction of the Bastile. Our present Judicial sys- i tern is the last vestige of Feudalism which . still lingers in our midst. This session i will be eminently signalised even should ; it pass no other act. BRUTUS. Anecdote or the Czar. —Nicholas, it! seems, in spite of the anxiety incident to I his present position, maintains his old ha bit of walking the streets of St. Peters burg unattended. lie was lately inform ed that a tradesmand in a large wav of business had insulted a Frenchman with-' out provocation, and be immediately sent. for him When asked why he insulted the man, he replied “because I hate his nation.” “Is thatyou< only motive?” “Yes, cire.” “Then you shall have au opportu nity to gratify your hatred. I shall send you to join my army in the Crimea.” Egk-Governor Dorr, of Rhode Island is dead. He was 49 years old. WHO IS MISS COUTTS. A Now Yore paper, in referring to the so-called Miss Coutts, whose regular and singular attendance at the Grisi and Mario opera in New York has excited no little wonder, says: The real name of Coutts is Giles, not Gyles, as has been often said; she is un married, and not very young; she is a na tive of Gloucestershire, in England, and has lived some years in London, keeping house in a quiet way, at the West End, and going but little into society, though a constant attendant at the opera and the atre. Her income is Jk2,o(jo a year, or SIU,OOO, which is too small to make a show with in London. At one time, she conceived a passion for Charles Kean, whom she haunted in the same way that she now haunts Mario, until happening to meet the latter gentleman, she transferred her affections, and he has been the object of her idolatry every since. What will become of the poor- lady when Mario retires into private life, and goes to live on his estate in Italy, unless she should, in the meanwhile, find some other fascination, it. is not easy to con ceive. Perhaps some handsome Yankee may succeed in attracting her young affec tions, and put an end to the unhappy passion. t r r The Longevity of Slaves. —The ; compend of the census, prepared by J. D. B D Bow, Esq., and lately noticed by us, devotes a section to the subject of the rel ative mortality of the white and black ’ races in the United States. In referring to this matter, the editors j of ti e Charleston Medical journal and Review remarks: i On an examination of this table, one I fact stands prominently forth; it is that of i the greater longevity, both general and ’ extreme, of the black than the white in . the slaveholding States. This is a fact! pregnant with significance; proving con-! I clusively, as it does, that the almost com- j 1 plete freedom from care, the lightness of | his labor, and the physical comforts gen erally enjoyed by the slave, combine to in- 1 crease the duration of his life, not only beyond that of the laboring white class, ; but even beyond the average of the white class of all conditions. But the difference between the two races in point of longevity, would be still great er in favor of the black than is represent ed in the table, deduct a certain proportion of early’deaths from the latter, i occurring among the mulattoes who exist 1 in large numbers in the cities of thcslaxej 1 States. I « The reform diplomatic bill now be- ! ' fore Congress proposes the following sala* ! ' r’.es for foreign ministers : Great Britain,' $17,300; France and China, each, $15,- | 000; Spain, Russia, Austria and Prussia, each, $12,000; Brazil and Mexico, each, slo,<iof)_: Turkey, Peru and Chili, each, ‘ $9,000; SwitzerlaifH, Rome. Naples, Sar -1 dinia, Belgium, Holland, Portugal, ]>en i mark, Sweden, the Argentine Republic, New Grenada, Bolivar, Ecuador, Venezu ela, Guatemala and Nicaragua, 67,500. — We have already observed that the inferior appointments and title of Charge des Af faires are dispensed with, and all these ap , pointments arc to be full missions. j Samuel O.
