FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23. (£/• We are requested to state that the Savan nah River Baptist Association, will hold its Scs" sion at the Baptist Church on Beach Island (six miles from Augusta) on Saturday and Sunday next. We see by the proceedings of the Legislature of the 19th inst., that a bill was introduced in the the Senate on that day to change the mode of electing the Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, of this city. Instead of being elected by the Legislature the Judge is to be chosen by the City Council—the first election, under the change, to take place, in November 1841. We regret to learn, says the Charleston Mercu ry of yesterday, that the Congestive Fever so fa tal in Barnwell last year, has recently re-appear cd and is now prevailing with great virulence in that District. The New Orleans, Merchants’ Transcript of the 17th states that a number of letters have been received in that city, from the interior of the State, mentioning the shortness of the Cotton crop in that section of country. The New Orleans Courier mentions the arrival of the brig Ivonhoc, at that place on the 15th j the Captain of which states that on the 7th in stant he fell in with two English ships of the line and a brig of war, bound to Vera Cruz. Texas. We learn by the San Augustine Rcdlander, of the 31st ult., that serious apprehensions are en tertained by some of the citizens of Texas, that the United States Indians, settled in Arkansas, have been, and are now removing south of Red River, with a view of uniting with the Indians and Mexicans, within the limits of this rcpublic > in waging a war of extermination against the white population of Texas.” By the Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette, we learn that Gen. Arbucklehas despatched a portion of his command to Red River, where essential assistance may be rendered in pro. tccting that frontier from encroachment, and where they may be employed in preventing any of the Indian tribes residing north of Red River from joining those south of that river, in waging war on the citizens of Texas. The Mormons. There arc various contradictory rumours afloat concerning the surrender of the Mormons, and we are doubtful whether the disturbances have been so amicably settled as was reported. The St. l.ouis Commercial Bulletin of the 9th says:— “We have conversed with a gentleman who ar rived yesterday afternoon from Jefferson City, on board the St. Peters, and he states, that an express arrived there on Wednesday night, bringing in telligence that a party of Mormons, who had for tilled themselves in a house were attacked by the volunteers under the command of Gen. Lucas, and thirty-two of them were killed—seven of the volunteers were wounded and one killed. It is further stated that the Governor had issued orders to Gen. Clark to retain as many of the volunteer companies as was necessary, to keep the Mormons prisoners until the meeting of the Legislature. Death of Judge Bay. The Charleston Courier of Wednesday last, says: — “ The venerable Elihu Hall Bat, is no more! He departed this life on Monday night last, without a struggle, in the 85th year of his age. For near half a century, he filled the office of Associate Justice of the Court of Gener al Sessions and Common Pleas of this State, hav. ing been appointed on the 13th of February, 1791, and having held the office until the day of his death.” The New Orleans Bulletin states that General Gaines, of the United States Array, has furnished the editor of that paper with a diagram of a sys tem of Rail-roads planned by himself, to extend over the United States. An inspection of which shows Kentucky and Tennessee to be the centre from which rail-roads branch out to all points of the Union, connecting for instance, New Orleans with Portland in Maine ; Buffalo and Plattsburgh, in New York ; Detroit, in Michigan ; Chicago in Illinois; Charleston,in South Carolina ; ForlGib son, in Arkansas; St Louis, in Missouri; and sev eral other points still farther to the Far West.— The work, says General Gaines, is designed, in time of war, to enable us to wield our fighting men, with their arms and ammunition, from cen tral and middle States to the most vulnerable points of attack on our sea-board and inland bor der, in one tenth part of the time and at one tenth part of the expense, that movements would cost on ordinary roads. It is a work, moreover, cal culated to bind the States together by ligaments, rendered indissoluble by its great and imperisha ble utility to Iho States and people in general— giving safety to our national independence—cn rouragement to literature ami science—profitable extension to agriculture, and protection to the manufacturing and mechanic arts—thereby tend ing to make our beloved country prosperous and happy in peace and impregnable in war. Communicated. Volunteer C< m.tatties. Mn. Editoii.—To every man who will give the subject a momenta’ reflection it must appear strange that in Augusta, so little encouragement should be given to Volunteer Companies. We have now in the city three companies, two of which, arc struggling for an existence, and un less their ranks are very soon strengthened, I should not be at all surprised if they were dis banded. Augusta contains a population of nine or ten thousand inhabitants, and there was one thousand votes polled in the city last month. To all three of the Companies now in the place, there is but about one hundred and eighty men—one hundred of which, are attached to the “ Clinch Riflemen,” a beautifid and efficient corps under the command of Capt. E. Stahxks. If the gentlemen who have the most at stake in this city, were to at tach themselves and encourage their young men in becoming members ; if men of families were l o supply their sons with uniforms, then the Com panies would prosper, and the citizens feel secure under an efficient military organization. There is no country on earth which requires for its own protection a more rigid military system than our own. While the enemies of our institutions at the north arc making giant strides to power, controll ing the elections, and doing every thing against us that they can, we are luke warm, and as careless as if we had nothing to apprehend from them. South Carolina sees and appreciates their impor tance, and is prepared for their own protection, it seems as if Georgia and more particularly- v Augusta, will never he convinced of the necessity of preparation until they are called at once to protect their firc-sidcs from a most dangerous po pulation, armed and encouraged, by the fanatics of the north. If the influential men of the city was to lend their aid to the military Companies , of the place, we might easily have five or six ! efficient Companies, and form a legion which would effectually protect our property and our families from enemies at home and abroad. When will the people of Augusta feel and act as the importance of the subject demands. CAUTION. The following account of a most atrocious murder, we find in the Little Rock Advocate of the 23d October. Fiiajcklix Cot'XTT, Ark. Nov. 12. Gentlemen: Day before yesterday (the 10th inst.) Col. John Lasater, was maliciously and most foully murdered by John W. Whitson. The circumstances were as follows: Whitson rode up to the store-house of Messrs. Lasater and Jenkins, made fast his horse and stepped behind the store; Lasater. being at his dwelling-house, (about fifty yards oil’,) and seeing a horse at the store, supposed that some one was there who wanted to go in, and started will: the store key in his hand, when fifteen or twenty steps from the ; store-house, Whitson stepped from behind the 1 store and presented a shot gun at him, and when ' Lasater saw the gun aimed, he exclaimed “Whit son don’t shoot me,” and on the instant Whitson fired the gun at Lasator, breaking his left arm in two places, and six or seven pistol or rifle balls entered Lasatcr’s left side, just above his hip; which caused L’s. death about twelve hours after. This occurred about 1 o’clock, P. M.— Whitson then mounted his horse and rode off without uttering a single word. Before this oc currence, there had never been any difficulty be tween them. When meeting they had been in the habit of speaking to each other for the last \ year. Ido think it one of the basest and most cowardly assassinations I ever heard of. Whitson is now running at large. From the Montreal Courier, November 13. 9 Lower Canada. ' . On Sunday evening, the whole of the hack country above Laprairie presented the awful spec tacle of one vast sheet of lurid flame, and it is re-* I ported that not a single rebel house has been left standing. God only knows what is to become of the surviving Canadians and their wives and fam ilies during the approaching winter, as nothing hut starvation from hunger and cold stares them in the face. From the N. V. Herald, N T uv. 17, English Cotton Market. The recent revolution in the commercial world, and the peculiar position of the cotton market, growing out of it, involves in darkuess the future movements of the trade, and baffles the skill and sagacity of experienced dealers, to divine the re sult of those stupendous speculations which, from their magnitude, involve the welfare of the manu facturing district of Europe, ns well us the plant ing districts of our own country. The immense amount now kept out of the market by holders in Liverpool, exceeding that of last year by 191,290 bales, has become the object of extensive and com plicated movements on the part of the spinners, to force the stock into the market. These are backed by the influence of the Hank of England, and other commanding money powers opposed to the movements of the Bank of the United .States. These operations draw out counter movements on the part of the last mentioned institution, and others interested in sustaining the rates at which the great staple is held. Hence arise the various contradictory statements which are promulgated of the prices in Liverpool, and the causes imme diately operating on them. To illustrate this, we give a series of circulars we have received from brokers of opposing interests, from which it will be perceived, that the animation of the market, about the 20lh ult., was caused mainly by the ac counts from this side, of the state of the growing crop. Those carried out by the “Royal William” were far more full, and confirmed tire previous apprehension of the shortness of the crop, and it is therefore natural to suppose that an increased and more healthy business will be the result of that news, on reaching Liverpool, more particu larly, as the factories in the neighborhood of Man chester ate in brisk operation and on full time.— The demand for yams for the European market is very active. These causes will operate to in- j duee spinners to come into the market more free ly, on the reception of the above mentioned advi ces, and a healthy increase of price is therefore confidently looked forward to. Report of flic Committee on the Central Hank. To the Honorable, the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives of the State of Georgia; The Committee appointed under a Resolution of the Legislature, approved tiro 30th of Decem ber, 1837, to examine into and report upon the condition of the Central Hank, mot on the 17th of September last, and entered on the discharge of the duties required by said Resolution; and having examined into the slate and condition of the Institution, from the 27thof January, 1829, (at which time its operations commenced,) to the sth of November, 1838, inclusive, report the fol lowing os the result of their investigations: From the books of the Dank, il appears that the Capital Stock, on the 27th of January, 1829, consisted of the following items, viz: Stock in the Bank of the State of Georgia, $500,000 00 Stock in tire Dank of Augusta. 100,000 00 “ “ “ “ “ Darien, 325,000 00 “ “ “ Planters'Bank of Geo., 80,000 00 Bonds, Notes, &c., received from the State, 355,597 90 Cash turned over by the Treasurer to the Bank, 613,101 77 Making, $1,873,699 07 The capital was increased in 1829, $53,617 23 1830, 165,227 05 1831, 109,028 78 1832, 127,019 20 1834, 152,020 79 1833, 53,299 32 720,213 02 2,593,912 69 The capital was diminished in 1833, $54,879 86 1836, 78,789 41 1837, 336,469 38 1838, 344,257 65 814,390 30 Leaving the Capital Stock, on sth lB3B, $1,779,516 39 The following statement shows the annual dis tributions made to the citizens of the State on accommodation Notes—the profits which (lie Bank derived from discount on Notes and Bills of Exchange, and back interest on such as were not paid at maturity—interest on Bonds, Notes, &c., received from the State—Dividends on Bank Stocks—and Premium Account—and the annual Expenses of the Bank, including the salaries of its officers. -r co 5* m Cl f 01x so m o o o —< m ci ir; e- -t ts tc t- ov Expenses.

The $380,000 with the Discount or Interest thereon, mbs been paid to the Banks from which it was obtained, during the present year. No Premium Account appears to have been kept until 1837, in which year the receipts on that Account amounted to $3,991 90 ; and in the year 1838, to $5,797, 06. The state of the Bank, made up to the sth of November, 1838, which is herewith submitted, corresponds with the books of the Bank ; but the Notes discounted exceed the amount called for by the books, $1,070 31. Thus discrepance (which was much greater when the present Cashier came into office,) is supposed to be in the accounts of attorneys, in whose hands notes have been placed for collodion, and (hat upon a final settlement with them the amount of the notes and the amount called for by the books will agree. The condition of the Bank on the sth Novem ber, 1837, maybe thus stated: Amounts due by the Bank, viz: Capital Stock, $1,779,516 39 United States Surplus Revenue, 1,051,422 09 New-York 12 months Loan, 300,000 00 Free School and Education Fund, 10,400 00 Due other Banks on Loans and on Account, 125,192 "2 Deposilc Account, 254,519 34 Central Bank Notes in circulation, 64,382 00 Profits, after deducting Expenses and other payments required to bo made out of them, 20,657 88 $6,612,089 92 Amounts owned by the Bank, viz : Bank Stock, $1,005,000 00 Bonds, Notes, &c., received from the State, 181,221 16 Stork in Brunswick Railroad and Canal Company, 43,500 00 Notes Discounted, 1,817,199 90 Bills Discounted, 134,421 61’ Protest Account, 156 00 Due by other Banks, 28,961 91 Basil—ln specie and specie certifi cates, 97,039 40 Cash —In notes and cheeks on other banks, 304,590 00 $3,612,089 95 i Tlio f'ommUtee are of opinion, that the uftcr mentiojied amounts, of the property owned by the Bank mentioned in the (browning statement of its condition, are entirely unavuiluhlo, and will be eventually lost to the bank, \ iz: Os the item denominated Bonds, Notes, iVc.. received from the State, the sum of $116,280 55 Os Notes discounted, the sum of 1,019 (IS And Notes of the Bank of Macon, 291 00 $118,194 53 In addition to the liabilities of the Bank, us shown in the foregoing statement of its condition, the appropriations for 143 i and 1838, yet subject to the warrants of the Governor on thu Treasurer, and for which the Bank, by the appropriation acts ot those years is required to pro'ido payment, amount to about the sum of $585,000. The Committee are of opinion, however, that the whole of this amount w ill not he drawn for, and that part of it may lie met by moneys paid into the Treasury. It will be seen by the. state of the Batik here with submitted, that the whole amount of Notes and Bills discounted, viz: $1 991,(531 53, those lying over amount to $575,102 27, and those in suit to $83,(547 57. Os those lying over, it is confidently expected a very large proportion will he renewed dur ng the silting of the Legislature. It may, perhaps, have been expected that, the Committee would express some opinion as to the solvency of the makers and endorsers of the Notes and Bills of Exchange. Much the greater num ber of ihnu are unknow n to the Committee, and oi such they cannot and ought not to express an opinion; but the Notes and Bills, the makers and endorsers of which are known to the Com mittee, arc considered by them to be generally good. On an examination ol'thc books of the Bank, tlie Committee find that a personal lodger had been kept until the middle of the year 1836, when it was discontinued by (he then ('ashler. The general ledger was regularly posted and balanced during the continuance in olliee of Mr. Malone, as Cashier ; since that time this book (and in t!io opinion of the Committee, a very important one,) was discontinued until the present Cashier came into office. When the funds of the Bank were turned over to him by his predecessor, as correct, lie carried them into a general ledger, and since that time this hook has been regularly kept and balanced. The Committee consider it important that the discontinued general ledger should lie brought up, ami recommend that a competent person bo appointed for that purpose, whose services may he dispensed with after this duty is performed. The Committee recommend also that a person al ledger lie in future kept. If any of the books of tlie Bank arc to be abandoned, they consider it far better that the credit book should be, than tlie personal ledger. Both, however, might ho con tinued by the appointment of another officer. All of which is very respectfully submitted, by THOMAS STOCKS, A GEORGE R. CLAYTON, C Committee WILLIAM Y. HAN?ELL.

To be entitled An Act to prevent fraud in voting for Governor, members of tlie Legislature, Mem bers of Congress, and County officers through out the State. Whereas tlie Legislature is frequently called upon to investigate the validity of elections of her members, and the election of Congressmen and County officers, arc often protested against, and the parties put to a great deal of trouble and ex pense in ascertaining the correctness with which elections have been held, and oftentimes tlie truth cannot be attained ; therefore, tlie more, fully to obviate this difficulty, Ik it enacted hi/ the Senate and House of Rep resentatives, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same : Sec. 1. That the managers in all elections to be hereafter held, shall be required, in addition to numbering the name of tlie person voting, also number his ticket, so that the ticket may be known to a certainty, il doubted. '■ e• That the manager* of the Precincts in i‘iu h and every County, ahull pro serve the tickets uml Real them up in a paper, and, together with the list of namcH and tally shoots, deliver them to the manager* at the Court House, who shall, af ter counting out the tickets received by them at the Court House, also seal them up in paper, to hehy them kept in that situation for four days, at the end ot which time, if there is no objection to the validity ol the election, they shall make out the return, and sent it on as at present to the Executive. •See. d. Should any candidate be dissatisfied at the event, and should dispute the qualifications of any of the voters, the managers at the Court House shall proceed to investigate tire validity of the vote or voles disputed, and shall sit and hear the testi mony produced hv the. parties in the ease, if the application he made before the end of the fourth day ; and the party dissatisfied must give the oth er party notice of the time the trial is to he had; which trial must he had on or before the tenth day after the elretion was held. •Sec. 4. And he it further enacted, That if the managers should find any votes to be illegal, they shall throw them out of the calculation, and they shall report the person duly elected after they have purged the polls. And all laws and parts of laws, militating against this law, arc hereby repealed. The Memphis (Term.) Enquirer of the "fith ult. states that the Hon. Thomas Stuart, for twenty six years a Judge in the Circuit Court of that state, died on the lath inst. near Franklin, at the good old age. of VO years. Ho was universally esteemed for his mildness and impartiality in the discharge of his official duties, and for his many excellent qualities as a private citizen. Case of Som.vamhulism,—A woman was much addicted-to walking in her sleep, and, after some observation, it was discovered that, in doing so, she went over all the transactions of the pre ceding day ; every thing, especially, that she had herself said was distinctly repeated in the order in which she had spoken it. In general she com menced immediately after she had fallen asleep, and began by repeating the first words she had spoken in the morning, and then went through the other conversation of the day, adopting her tone of manner to the real occurrences. Thus, whether she had called aloud to a person at a dis tance, or whispered something which she did not wish to be overheard, —whether she had laughed or sung, every thing was repeated in the order, and in the tone ot voice,in which it had actually occurred. In repeating conversations with others she regularly led intervals in her discourse cor responding to (lie period when the other party was supposed to he replying; and she also left in tervals between different conversations, shorter in reality, hut corresponding in relative length to the intervals which had in fact taken place. 'Thus, if she had been two hours without convers ing with any other person, the interval in iter natural conversation was about ten minutes. In this manner she generally required about two hours to rehearse the occurrences of the day. Mho was scarcely ever known to repeat any thing she had read, hut she occasionally repeated psalms, as if she had been teaching them to a child, and she repeated them more correctly than she could do when awake. Mhc exhibited also the more common characters of somnambulism, frequently rising in her sleep, pursuing her ordinary occupations in the kitchen, and even out of doors. On one occasion she awoke in the act of mounting a horse at the sta ble-door, and at another time was roused by sprain ing her uncle, while cutting gross in a ditch at some distance from (he house. These occupations were observed to have a relation to her engage ments during the day, being either u repetition of something she hud done, or the accomplishment of what she intended to do, hut had been pre vented from performing; and sometimes it appear ed to he something which she meant to do at the earliest hour on the following day. These peculiarities had been matter of interest ing observation, for a considerable time, when she at length fell into a state of continued uncon sciousness to external things, which went on for three days, during which time she attended to all her usual occupations. This begun on a Sunday, and continued to tile Wednesday. On that day her master met her returning from an out-house carrying a number of eggs, when he datennined to attempt rousing her by shouting loudly in her ear. On his doing so she awoke as from a sleep, and spoke to him sensibly, hut could give no ac count of the eggs, and could scarcely he persuaded that the day was not Sunday. In an hour she relapsed into the unconscious stale, and was again roused in the same, manner; hut, after some fur ther experiments, this expedient failed, in conse quence of which she was taken to her parents, and did not recover entirely for several weeks, after this her former peculiarities became less remarka ble and gradually ceased. —Abercrombie on the Intellectual Powers.

Dec PJ lom'tfUxlTiBl'ttDF OF I'i.VK R(|»)T,. f|l HE subscribers have succeeded in preparing a i compound Syrup of Pink Pant, winch will admit of ns definite prescription as the powdered root. Tho dose of Pink Root, known ns one of the best vermifuges is, 10 to 20 grants, and double that quantity in infusion is necessary to the sarnu effect. But tins syrup contains* concentra cd decoc tion,much stronger than-the infusion, amounting lonlmcst the whole virtues of the substance. One tooipoonf nl of this syrup contains Ibe cor.- rcounted decoction of 20 grains within a small fraction, which may be considered at least, equal to the minima dose of tho substance, which is 10 ginirm— two leaspoonfhla 20 groins, and so on. slight laxative power is given by combining in tho virtues o( rhnbnrb and sennn. Ills not certain that any uniform antidote to the occasional nervine effects of Pink Boot is known, but tiie best antidotal power hitherto ascertained, aristoluciiia, serpentariu is combined in due propor tion. It sliotild ho remembered that no vermifuge im uniformly succcsslnl, even when worms areknown to he present. The officianal infusion is too weak, containing only the tea of seven and a half to fif teen grains to the dose, which equals, (if the selec tion of the root bo well made/ only three and a quarter to seven and n half grains of the substance. Fortius syrup,tho best specimens have been selected with great care, nnd tho syrup on use has . been found to possess, in a very convenient form for administration to children, all the uniformity of power as u vermifuge with the root insulin - mice, or the full powersuf it in infusion or decoction, Tho dose should be repeated three limes a Jay, or in ur gent cases every two or three hours.
