Sedan's Report.— Wo republish to-day the peport ofthc deaths of last month, for the pur- | pose of correcting an error which occurred in its | last publication. The deaths among the colored population were 13, instead of 8, as erroneously | Staled.—Five of those deaths were infants under I the age of 13 months, Indian Affairs. —The article under a similar head, which we copy from the Georgia Journal, more fully explains the subject mentioned iu our last, respecting the citatitet served by John Ross, principal Chief of the Cherokocs, on the Governor of Georgia on Monday the 37th till. Wo arc indebted to the politeness of Thomas E, Green, Esq. the Post-Master ut Millcdgeville, for the means of correcting an error which oc curred in a paragraph in our last paper, in rela tion to tho celebrated citation from the Supreme Court. Mr. Green states that he did not servo \ : the citation on the Governor, and was not re quested to do so. How this erroneous impres sion was made on our mind, is to us totally in explicable. Wo received it, apparently very clearly, during afr ee conversation on tho sub ject, with his Excellency Gov. Gilmer; and it is very evident, that we some how or other tips understood him—how we cannot conceive. yi re writing the above, we are indebted to Uie kindness of Mr. Green for another commu nication on this subject, tending in some degree ' to explain what before appeared so inexplica ble. And tho’ Mr. G’s interpretation of the notice on the back of the letter, appears to ua to be the correct one, we incline to the belief, from Uie impression made on our mind by Gov. Gil mer, that he looked upon it differently. In this, however, wc may he wrong, as we cannot clear )y recollect the words, by which the impression was made; and we must undoubtedly have mis understood him in part, al least. —k\ e lake the liberty of publishing Mr. G's letter, because it places the matter in tlu> clearest possible light, and wc consider it due to the people of Georgia, tliat the main subject, so deeply important to them, should ho made fully known in all its par ticulars. We tender our thunks to Mr. Green Ihr his polite and gentlemanly attention, which, from our frequent communication with hisofhee during the late session of the Legislature, we can say is peculiarly characteristic of Ins whole deportment, particularly with the public; and that ho is evidently, in tho most complimentary sensn of the term, a vigilant, accommodating end vatu ible public officer: ‘ ■ Millalgerille, Jan. 3d, 1831. Dear Bib, —I this afternoon saw the com munication from Judge Marshall, to the Gov ernor, ond, for the fust liim , the following morandum on the bach of if, viz. : “ The Post- Master will please deliver this loiter to the Gov ernor immediately.” From this I presume you took up the opinion that 1 had been requested to serve the notice— hut this memorandum, being on the hack of the letter, was not seen, and if it had would not have enabled mo to prove the Mi-vice, as I was furnished with no intimation of tha content’* ofthc packet. 'lhc letter in ques tion was delivered, with such other letters us were in the office lor the Executive, itnmodi jflely on opening tljc mail, to UiC Messenger, Mr. Fair; and thus, had 1 seen the memoran- s duin on the buck of it, I should have considered 1 it complied with—the apparent object being that r the Governor should receive it as quickly us I possible. 1 have not made those coummnica- c lions with any view to a correction of the matter i published, as I don't suppose it is material, but [ to place the matter in a proper light before your- r self. t Yours verv respectfully, THOMAS F. GREEN.” < - t lIAJVK OF MACON. 1 i Wc presume it is generally known to our read- , ers, that a desperate effort was made, during 1 the laic session of the Legislature, by a few \ individuals, probably actuated by motives of personal disappointment, to destroy the well- I established reputation and credit which this ’ * ] institution has long enjoyed with the public, j The opposition of some live or six iiniiinucntial I individuals, we understand, has been exerted * against the Bank almost liom the very moment of its commencement, by running on it for specie j as far us funds could be raised by Them to c.x- , change for its tills, and spreading abroad reports | injurious to its reputation. Tho inefficiency of ' this opposition, industrious ns it was, lias been ( shown by tho unwavering confidence of the i public in receiving the hills of the institution—a | confidence which was justly enhanced by the promptitude with which it mot all reasonable demands —and that opposition was therefore treated with merited contempt, till it assumed ' a factitious and delusive importance before the Legislature. It was there promptly mat, , mi the part of the institution ; and wr tin- i dorstund that tho President proposed to sev eral members of tho Legislature, that if, as- ! tor an investigation of the subject, the slight est doubt should ho expressed or entertained by ' anyone, ofthc entire stability or correct man- ' J i agement of the Bank, they should immediately , cull fur the appointment of a committee, to make i a personal examination of all its internal con- 1 corn*. —The highly favorable result of the in vestigation, will ho found in the following Re port of the Committee on Banks, which was , promptly agreed to by both brandies of the Le- i gialaturc; and thus the misguided and unjust 1 opposition of the enemipi* of the Bank, has prov identially reacted against themselves, and tend ed, very properly, to the benefit of the institution it was intended to injure. May such he the result of all malice or injustice—whatever its source or its object: THE COMMITTEE to whom were referred the annual statement of the Bank of Macon, the memorial of several citizens of the town of Ma con, tho counter memorial (if the President of that Bunk, ulid accompanying documents, Re port : ;.Thal having curwMW referred in a sound and stable condition, So far as your committee are advised, tho limits prescribed by its charter, have been strictly observed, and its requisitions fully complied with. Thu amount of specie in ils vaults falls little short of the amount of capital slock paid in. Tho amount of ' hills in circulation is considerably loss than its | capital stuck would warrant,'consistently with j the provisions of its charter. Bulieung Inal the , affairs ofthc Institution mo managed with good { faith to the public, and profit to the stock-holders, | your committee would cheoifully submit a reso ! Union expressive of that belief, and take leave |of the subject. But duo respect to the memori alists, who have preferred a charge against Ihc Bank, and justice to the Bank itself, require an investigation into Ihc subject matter of com , plaint. The memorial alleges a violation of the loll) section of Uio act of incorporation, which pro vides for prompt redemption, on demand, of the lulls of the Bank, and concludes, with a prayer fur an investigation into ils affairs, under the l lthruloof the 7th section, which subjects ils hooks, papers, coirespondcnea, and funds, at all times, to the inspection of a committee, to he appointed by the legislature ter that puiposo. The allegation is extremely indefinite, inasmuch as it neither states whether or not, tho demand was made by or in behalf of any other Bank, j nor whether there Was u refusal to pay generally, 'or only to pay in specie.. There being a pro- 1 vision in the charter of the Bank of Macon, by ! which it is authorized, when its bills arc present- i ed for payment, hyoriu behalf of another Bank, to pay m the hills of the Bank so presenting smi demanding payuiunj. Much statements in the allegation are deemed necessary. Tho allege- ' tion general, as it is, is wholly unsupported by any evidence referred to your committee, ex cept a copy of a notarial protest of Grey Cham plain, which, in the opinion of your cntimiitteo, 1 is sufficiently accounted for by the affidavit of 1 James Rea, Cashier, and the certificate of the ! said Grey Champlain. Those documents are as follows; .Ist. Two letters wiittcu by T. I*. Bond, Esq. 1 to the present Executive of Georgia, smi to his 1 predecessor, requesting the interference of those 1 officers in certain alleged disorders in the affairs 1 of the Macon Bunk, and their answers, declining ' the interference sought. 1 3dly. A letter from T. I*. Bond and 11. S. i Cutter, Esqrs. (two of the memorialists,) to the Honorable Senator from Habersham, covering a certificate, arid proposing seven individuals i us lit persons to constitute the contemplated < committee of investigation, three of whom are i signers of the memorial, and one also a signer ' of the same letter. ' ;idly■ A copy of a letter addressed by T. P. 1 Bond, Esq. to I. Wilcox, Esq. Cashier of the Branch Bank of the Stale of Georgia al Macon, charging that Bank with having loaned specie to the Bank of.Macon, on a late occasion, to enable the latter to make a fair exhibit: which charge, although unsupported by any evidence, i“ clear ly refuted, in a certificate ot the Cashier, refer red ou the part ofthc Bank. 4thly. A written opinion of fifty two gentle men, that the Bank of Macon ought not to oppose an iuvestigation lief re toe legislature. fithly. A certificate of T. B. Bond, Esq. set ting fortli the manner in which uu cxaminal mu inti) the affairs of the Bank, by three gentle men (hereinafter referred to) was conducted. Gtlily. A certificate of Rice Durretl, Esq. sta ting that ha did not sign the memorial against tho Bank, to which his name appears. Ttldy. A letter of T. I. Bond, accompany ing the two lust mentioned documents, All these documents, your committee think, afford no evidence of the charge contained in tho memorial, which is itself a hare written de claration of seven individuals, not signing under sanction of nil oath. Assuming, however, that the charge is true, it is, as before observed, remarkably vague, hud therefore susceptible of explanation. That ex planation is afforded by the counter memorial of the President of the Bank, which, w hile it does not contradict tho statement iu tho ntguiotijkb supplies tho precision nnd fulness in which the latter is wanting. It sets forth that tho present ment of hills, and demand of payment, were on behalf of the Marino and Fire Insurance Bank of Savannah, and that payment was tendered in the bills of that Bank, which, being refttsed, a protest and suit at law ensued. This Inst memo rial, is, imho opinion of your committee, to say tho least, entitled to as much credit as the other, and by it tlw Bank is represented in the light of a corporate Institution, not violating the salu tary provisions of ils charter, but prudently hus banding its resources, by meeting a pressing demand at once safe to itself, and consistent with tho charter. But had the Bank really vio lated the 13th suction of tho act of incorporation, that section prescribes a remedy by suit at law, which the parly aggrieved (if indeed there he a grievance) is now regularly pursuing. If, there fore, the memorialists fool any sympathy for the sufferers, or any apprehensions on behalf ofthc public, your committee would refer them to lire party plainlitViu that action, to w hom ilicir assis tance in making out the case, would, doubtless, ho highly acceptable. There is, however, among tho documi'nls re ferred, an address to the committee on Banka, from T. P. Bond and H. 8. Cutter, Esqrs. in sisting on ihe charge already considered, and e referring three additional charges against the ank of Macon. Ist. Tho loaning of more than ten .thousand dollars to one individual, which is forbidden by the lllh section ofthc act of incorporation. For proof of this charge, reference is made to the President and Cashier of the Bank of Macon, and to tho President and Cashier of tho State Bank. Your committer), not being invested with power to send for persons sud papers, could not avail themselves of this testimony, and are therefore in the dark on that subject. 3dly. Tho violation of the 18th rule, 7th sec tion regulating tho keeping of minutes; and in support of tliis charge no proofhas boon offered. 3dly. The purchasing of cotton by agent, con trary to the 13th rule, 7lb section; no proof of which lias been submitted. Your Committee cannot suppose that it ever was intended to predicate extraordinary iegis. lulivo investigation, into tire affairs of any Bank, upon the statements of two individuals, unsns tuined by evidence, nnd the less so when upon scrutiny, these statements assume tiro more airy form of vague suspicions that all is not right. But the officers of the Bank of Macqn, know ing that Midi a memorial had been presented; in tlie. exercise of abundant caution, have not cho sen to rest their case there. Among the docu ments referred, is a statement of this Bank, made on tiro first of November, tho correctness of which is attested by O. 11, Prince, Esq. W. R. Rogers, President of tiro Branch Bank of Darien, at Macon, and John T. Rowland. Presi dent ofthc Branch Bank of dm State ofGnorgia. Notwithstanding much business Iftid been trans acted by the Blink, sought to ho circumvented, in the interval between tile dale of the first, and the date of the last statement, the latter repre sents it in a no loss flourishing and sound con dition, than the former. In addition to these circumstances, it is a fact of general notoiiety, that the Bills ofthc Bank are at par throughout tho State. For all those reasons, votir commit tee are of opinion, that tho investigation sought is unnecessary. -And if necessary, they believe lat. lhe provision m tho'chaflor to wlrich die memorialists refer, prescribes an extraordi nary procedure, intended to prevent injury to the public, growing out of gross abuse* of Bank ing piivileges. To induce surh a step on the I part ofthc Legislature, there should he proof of such abuses, or of circumstances warranting reasonable presumption, that they do exist.— But on an impartial review of all lie circum stances, within tho knowledge of your commit tee, they entertain no suspicion, that such abuses arc practised by that institution. 2d. By well established custom, full credit is given to tho reports of tho Banks, signed by their Presidents nnd Cashiers, as officers acting under (ho sanction of oaths. A resolution of tho Legislature, ordering such an investigation, would operate as a temporary withdrawal of that credit, and would necessari ly weaken public confidence in the institution so distrusted. Hence would result depreciated currency, nnd los* of business, injuries, width tile Legislature should not causelessly inflict, nnd which the officers of all hanks arc in duly hound to resist. Your Committee cannot close lids report without remarking that the memorial against lire Bank, comes before them iu a very ques tionable shape. In the first place, tho fact that iu a population so large ns that of Macon, tho memorialists arc only seven m number, warrants the belief that Hicir complaint had its origin rather than in per sonal piqno than in public grievance. Secondly, 'Hie garbled statement of facts in the memorial characterizes a had cause. Thirdly. The impossibility of extracting con clusive proofliom tho runny documents submit ted, argues the entire absence of evidence. Lastly. The unauthorized nomination hy the memorialists of a comm dice of investigation, three of whom are of ilieii own number, evin ces a disposition to make themselves arbiters of the rloslmy of a valuable public institution, for which they certainly entertain no very ardent friendship. To grant all they ask, would he equivalent to making the Rank of Macon depen dant in a cause in which the memorialists would be complainants, witnesses and jurors. Looking beyond the case under consideration, your com mittee urge tho impropriety of establishing a dangerous precedent, as an additional reason for rejecting the prayer ofthc memorialists. Each successive Legislature would ho troubled with frivolous complaints of malicious individu als, disposed to annoy, if they could not injure officers of Banks, wlmso iiiisforinne it had been to offend them. Although hanking institutions, should not he permitted to trample on individu al rights, nor to set at naught public good, it will not be denied that they also have absolute rights, which should bo respected. .So closely are they identified with the general weal, that injustice to them, is injury to the public. Influenced by these considerations, your com mittee recommend the adoption of tho follow ing resolution; lie sol red, That the affairs of ihc Bank of Ma con, have been so conducted, ns lo entitle that insulation to the approbation of Ihe General As sembly, and the confidence of the public.

It will ho seen by the following paragraphs, which wo copy from the Columbia Times 4’ Gazette, that the Legislature of S. Carolina, as its late session, was exceedingly liberal to our ontcrprizing'ncighbor, Mr. Shultz, and to the Town of Hamburg : ‘AVoeall the attention of our rcadersto a trib ute to our talented and enterprising fellow-citi zen, Henry Shultz, Esq. published in our pa per to day. His perseverance and public spirit, have enabled him lo accomplish much for the State of Smith-Carolina, and the conduct of the Legislature evinces a magnanimous disposition to bestow commendation and reward upon the meritorious.” COMMUNICATED. Mr. Editor :—I lake pleasure iu calling your attention to the diet, that the spirit of persever ance in a good cause, has given the Town Build i or, Mr. Hf.nrv Shultz, a complete victory over a nine years persecution. Iu tho year 1821, he ■ founded the town of Hamburg, in the fnco of ” that wealthy city, Augusta ; the Legislature of this State granted him the same year, a loan of $511,(100, to aid him in his bold utidcilaking; for w Inch he gave a mortgage of his interest in said Town, lo tiro State. The Legislature in 1830, ordered his interest in said Town to he sold, and appointed him one of the Commissioners, for that purpose. The whole of the original Town was sold, for a division between all the parlies concerned therein. The Slate became the pur chaser, and the Legislature, at its late session, has ordered all tho interest of Ihe Slate in tho said Town of Hamburg, lo he' re-convoyed to ils founder, Mr. Henry Shultz, on his paying at any lirtte within two years, the original sum of $50,000, and tho present purchase iiiOdcy, ro ■ leasing all the interest of the said loan. They have, moreover, appropriated money lo pay in surance on tho property, opening and making streets, repairing houses, &r. and have author ised tli* Bank of the stale of South-Caruliua to es tablish s Branch of that Institution in said Town. This must certainly bo considered a wise nnd generous act of a Legislature to reward indi vidual enterprise. There is rarely one among a thousand, who enjoys the benefit of his genius, talents, mid enterprise. The following just tri . hole from Judge Earle, in his Report as Solicitor ; for tho Western Circuit, respecting the before named transaction, 1 lirg von to insert in y.mr “ I cannot conclude this report without e\- , pressing Ihe higli sense which I entertain of tho services of Mr. Sliultz, who has been associated ) will) mo in all tho important and difficult parts f of tho transaction. Iris great experience in mat . tors of this sort—his zeal, ardor, industry—bis ! knowledge of business and of men, have ena bled him to render mo essential aid, without . which I could not have succeeded so well a* 1 i trust I have done, in nceomplisliiug the objects which tho Legislaluru seemed to nave had iu ) iew, and winch wore committed to my charge. I feel assured that Mr. Sliultz has exerted all his ability to promote the interest of the State, in this matter, honestly, punctually and faithful ly, and that lie has entitled himself to lliu undi minished confidence ofthc Legislature.” Wc noticed some days since the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Tvvrss, to open a School for young Ladies in this city.

Lawrence, in his hook on the Horse, tells what many sportsmen never knew before, that the famous English Eclipse, the most illustrious progenitor of him that won die racoon Long Isl and, was so named because he was fouled on the i'av of tho total eclipse iu 1700. The’Rev. A. C, Cut Lins, who died recently at Bloomfield, N. Y. after a long lifu of useful ness, directed that his family should not wear mourning. In srsvcral western villages, that custom is laid aside.
