AUGU S T A . TUESDAY MOLMNU, NOVEMBER 13. Richard Allen, was on Saturday last, elected Clerk of the City Council of this city, in place of Geo. M. Walker resigned. In to-day’s paper will be found the free banking law of New York. As this subject is becoming one of discussion in our own State, we presnrae. it will prove a.- interesting to our readers as any tiling eke v/c could present to them. John Ktoncy, for many years an eminent Mer chant of Charleston S.C., died recently in Phila delphia. Wo learn from Boston that the Governor op tile State has called upon all the Banks in Mas sachusctls for official returns of their condition, as it existed on the first Saturday of October. The returns arc to he made to the Secretary of State on or before the 15th instant. The sales of the Cherokee Lands in North i Carolina have realised four times the price put on : them by the State. The amount of sales was about £370,000. New-Voile I I ction. By the Express Mail yesterday morning, wc received slips from the olliccs of Courier Enquirer, Commercial Advertiser, and Daily Whig, announcing that the Whigs had elected their entire Congressional and Legislative tickets in the city, by a majority of about 1000 voles! The tickets for Governor had no! been counted, but it was estimated that Seward’s majority over Marcy, would be greater by 2 or 300 votes, than the Congressional majority. The news from the river counties between Albany and New-York, was highly favorul.de to the Whigs, and renders it not at ail improbable that they have carried the State for Governor and Legislature, and made a large gain for members of Congress. The Express Mail to-morrow will probably settle tho question. The following is the result for Governor, as far as hcaid from. Seward. Marry. New York city, about 1800 maj. Orange co. 139 maj.

The official vote will not vary much from the above. In 1834, when Marcy beat Seward, 12,000 votes in tho 1 Slate, his (M’s) majority in the above counties was 0252 votes, making a Whig gain thus far of v more than 8009 votes.

What did Mr. Benton mean when he said id “the present Administration was in earnest abou, cheeking the paper system and returning to the currency of the country— a gold and silver CURRENCY, WHICH COULD BE EFFECTED IF THE I’ESTILENCE OF PAPER MONEY WAS BANISHED 1 FROM THE LAM).” What did Mr. Henry Horn mean when lie of fered the following resolution, at a meeting of Loco Locos in the city of Philadelphia ? And what did the Loco Locos mean by adopting it? i “Resolved, That the Delegates of this Ward 1 be and are hereby instructed, not to place in noin- ■ ination for any ofli.c, the name ol a single indi vidual who is connected with any Bank or Bank ing Institution, either as Director, Stockholder, or BORROWED.” What did Mr. District Attorney Price, Mr. John T. Morgan, Mr. Walter Bowne and the ra bid Loco Locolsm of Tammany Hall mean, when they sent forth a manifesto declaring that Banks arc (CJ- ERAUDULENT INSTITUTION3,/jO | that a Credit Currency is a CHEAT — and that the only safe or honest Currency is one ex- CLUSI v ELY METALLIC? Now if these declarations moan anything, they ■ mean an uncomprising hostility to the entire Banking System and a determination to (fleet its overthrow. And yet in the face of all this ac cumulated evidence, the Globe pretends to deny that there is any disposition to make war upon the Banks. If they do not intend to make war upon the Banks—war to the knife—then they ■ must be the most shameless hypocrites that ever abused and degraded a People. Death of the Male Giraffe.— The New t York Era has the following notice of a serious 1 loss to the interests of natural history: “The bcautilul male Giraffe, recently arrived in this city Loin Alexandria, Egypt, died suddenly yesterday £ morning immediately after feeding, without ex hibiting any previous illness. Tnis is the only , male Girallu ever brought to this country, and its !■ loss, perhaps, will not be replaced for many years i to come. It was several feet taller than the fe males exhibited previously, and enjoyed the great- cst apparent health up to the moment ol its deatn. It is supposed that poison had been administered ] to the animal, and several medical gentlemen : were yesterday engaged in anal} sing the contents t ol its stomach. The result wo have not learned. I It is to be hoped, if such has been the case, that d the wretch who could have the baseness to wan tonly destroy such a noble creature, may be leretted oat and brought to punishment. ? —— n k>loo,ooo for a Cape.—A curious specimen ol native ingenuity, and of the extravagance ot I despotism, is to be seen at the Missionary Booms, n it is a cape worn by u foundwich Island Chief, which, according to an estimate ot liev. Mr. Ita-hards, must have tost tiled,ooo. It is made of small feathers, of very bright and beautiful colors, only two of which grow under tlm wing c ol a particular bird. These are skihully wrought * upon a coarse network, so as to form stripes ol several different colors. The manner of obtaining them is as follows: An adhesive substance is I placed upon the end ot a long pole, and some bait a little distance below. This pole is held near the bird, upon the rocks and branches—it alights 11 on the end ol the pole and by the adhensive sub- i stance is tau lit, and drawn up and the leathers pulled out. Mr. Richards estimated that he could have obtained 8100,000 worth of provisions, with the labor that was expended on tins cape. There are also two small tippets for the neck, made of , the same materials. —Yutk LvuVgil.U, AT mutiny on hoard ship United States. I —I ne ship Lulled Slates, of Philadelphia, Capt. 1 S. Turner, from Liverpool, when olf the Caj.es 1 of the Delaware with a pilot on board, Capt. T. 1 attemjucd to chastise one ol the seamen who was , very abusive and unmanageable, apparently from the clients ol intoxication. In a moment the whole crew attacked Capt. T. and had it not been i for the prompt and efficient interposition of the pilot and hisollicers, the consequence would have been very serious. They at length subdued the mutineers and secured three of the r.nglcaders below deck, where they were kept until the ship 1 reached Chester, when the three were taken out !1 and put m prison.— Dial. Ex. Booh. * L, ' Imprisonment for Debt in France. A bite Paris paper, the Presso, gives an account of J a singular ease of imprisonment in France, which i |is a striking illustration of the injustice and cm- i city ol laws authorising imprisonment for debt. t i lieio is now in prison in Paris, a man who has just cnleioil Ills 44th year, and yet is detained for J the milk >■ liiiih he drew from his foster mother’s ' breast.—When he was weaned, in 1795, his | father owed the nurse 300 francs which sum was never paid; and when the son became of age, he look the debt upon himself, giving a note of hand for the amount payable in two years, with inter est. At the time the note became due, he was unable lo take it up, and it was renewed, with Ihc addition of stamps, interest and charges. This process has been continued till the present time, when the accumulated debt amounts to no less than 5,700 francs, besides 1218 francs for costs.

Departed this life on the loth of October, at hi* residence in the District of Uarnwell, S. C., Cant li. Johnson, after a grievous illness of several months, w Inch he bore with uncommon fortitude and resignation. Jle was between forty and forty-live years ot age. The deceased left a wife, live child ten, a mother, several brothers and sisters with a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. '1 he writer of this imperfect sketch of the death of a departed friend,knew him well, and can say of a truth, that he was a man of the mostexem plary moral character, honest and just in a 11 l\is deal ings, a friend to the poor, and a lover of his country In the various relations of husband, father, son brother, and friend, Capt. Johnson conducted' hini self with the greatest degree of propriety, as possessed a most affectionate disposition arid much suavity of manners. Ere he died, for some time, he expiessed a lively hope of a bright immortality b e . yond the grave, having made peace with God through a crucilied Saviour. Yes, just before the breath left him, with the utmost composure of mind lie exclaimed l; blessed be God;” and calling upon those who stood around his bed-side, he begged them to Dear witness that hecould say “ blessed’be God ” and then fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, the Sa viour of sinners. “ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
