I next prevent the Articles of cession executed |
on the Ist of March 1784 between the .State ofj
Virginia on the one part, anil Ibu Congress of the
United Mtatc.i, under the articles ol'cnnl’.- leratimi,
nu the other.

North-west of the river O.no to, and for, the
USES «ml pnrpo't', and on lho condition! of

Now, 21, one oflhe inn and conditions of tho
said recited set is in the following words, viz.
•‘that all llte lands within the territories so ceded

Can words ho more explicit ? I said the Gen
•rsl Government was a Tavarau for the Slate*.
Hare «>e the legal and technical words -lint not
indy imply lint absolutely create a ’/'rust. I
g uilt to thy United States in Congress assembled
b r lha me an I benefit o( said States, (myself in
elndeil,) so said Virginia. Now it it was intend
ed for the United Mutes in their ennfedcraied
character, it was only necessary to slop at the
word* “ United Stain*” and the rest followed as
a matter of course, hut when Virginia takes the
pain* specially to include herself, and particular
ly specifies the weittit'-e and manner of division,
we can he at no loss to arrive al her intention to
ilisiribu e the “common Otrul,” (mm) all her
own,] among hot sister Sue especially if we
bear in mind, as already r I, that each Ml ate
bad to furnish her quota i ■ v to defray the
“charges and expenses” o Federal Govern-I
ment. The then Fedor nernment could I
have tin funds, or in the It r;o of the Articles,!
no “ Com moil Treasury” in the way pi,avid-1
ed by tint instrument. 1 is to ho " supplied ]
by tho several States' a t may ho boldly nf- i
firmed that no other motln 1 can he found in that
compact.
But there is a view of this question which is
perfectly conclusive; suppose the States had
remained under the articles of confederation and!
had never adopted the present Federal Gonstim-1
lion, what would have become of the proceeds ofj
the public land thus ceded by Virginia ? What I
wixuld the old Congress, having no powers to j
rsise revenue, and no right to use or retain money j
bet in away specially provided ia the charter ofj
their authority, have done with ilia money aris
ing from tho sales ? How could it have evaded
this unequivocal clause in the contract made with
Virginia I t wit, “tho lands thus ceded shall he
considered its a common fund, for the me and
benefit of such of the Untied Mutes as have be
come, nr shall become, members of tiio confeder
ation or fedsral alliance of the said States, fir
jfinia inclusive according to their ittiud [retpcc- j
live proportions oflhe general charge ami er-!
Jjendittini and shall he faithful!;; and bona fide \
disposed of for that purpose and for no other me'
tit purpose whntsovcr” 1 Does not every one i
perceive tint the Federal Government would j
have been compelled, if it acted faithfully, to pay !
over loth- States their respective! shares of tho pro- j
cceds ol the lands as they were “disposed of for I
the use and benefit of said States, Virginia inclu-j
siv»" ! his no good objection to say the States!
would have to pay it hack to tho Federal Gov
ernment, that might or might not have been tho 1
case, there might have been a surplus then usj
there is now. Thu Federal Government was
largely indebted to some of tho Slates and that,
at least, had to lie exhausted in the way of sup
plies from the creditor Crate, before her dividend
of the land proceeds could be touched. But apart
from these considerations it was the "terms of the '
bond” and it was obliged to lie complied with.
This view of the subject i* obliged to settle the I
case, nn!c«s the chauu" of government, or in other |
words the til option oi the Federal Constitution
tla« conferred upon the present Government aj
title to those lands and their pro -ends paramount j
to the oar above shewn to ox lot in the States—!
»•, lei it he shewn, it is incumbent upon the de- ,
fondant to produce his grant. Let him shew the j
instrument by which tho right has passed out of!
the States, and voted in himself, Wc might 1
srfely conclude the cause here, under the utmost
confidence, that no deed can he shewn which re
vokes ths articles of cession made by Virginia, |
the title under which the States rightfully yi.iim, i
but Plan tills can shew that they have been ex
tremely mindful of this interest, for in the Con
stitution agreed to in September ’B9. nearly six
years after the Virginia cession which changed
the government, or rather abrogated the Articles
of ennfed "ration, they expressly provide these
saving rlauses, to wit, “ all debts contracted,
and engagements entered into, before the adop
tion nf this constitution, shall lie ns valid against
the United States, under this constitution, asun
der the confederation,” Otb ,drt. Again, in the
4th Article, it is declared, “ that Congress shall
have power to dispose of, and make all needful
mica arid regulations respecting the territory or
other property belonging to the United Staton;
and nothing in this constitution shall be so con
!rnejt m Is prejo t.e any rl dm- cf the f ‘il.’fed
* I Staid, or es tiny particular Stale." Nothing
; can 1c plainer, and to shew that this is nut a
c I strained construction of the instruments from
• which it is attempted to deduce the right of the
i Biates to the public lands, Noith-wcsfof the river
- Ohio, lot u» see whit President Jackson has said
I in his veto of Mr. May’* land bill, one among
I I tho few of his Slate pipers that be has not re
■ rolled or explained away, one that Las the sin
i gnlar merit of hoin/ uncontradicled by any other.
Hi* remark* wnn made in reference to that pro
• vision in the Dill which designed to give i2j
per rsnU out of the nett proceeds to the new
Stole* ond arc as follow ; “What more need lie
. said t’, demonstrate its objectionable character,
thar, that it is in direct and undisguised violation
. of the pledge given by Uobgrcss l<» tho Slates,
Before a single cession wav made ; that it aliro
* gales the condition upon which some ol the
! Stales come into the Union ; a«d that it sets at
I nought the lermt of cession spread upon the face
,! of every grant under which the title to tiiat pot
j tion of the public lands is held by the Federal
i Government” ? Again, he says, alluding to the
l deed, ol cession ; “The Constitution, oflhe Uni
; ted Stales did not delegate to Congress the power
to abrogate these compacts. On the conlraty,
hy declaring that nothing in it ‘ ihnll be con
j struinl to prejitd.ee any claims of the United
! States, or of any particular Slide,’ it virtually
I provides that those coitqmi U shall remain nn
! touched hv the legislative' power, which shall
j only make all ‘ needful ruleo and regulations
[ for carrying them inloelfcrl.”
i Now, however, things arc changed, became he
wants to reduce the surplus revenue ho recom-
I mends in It s late messsage, to diminish the price
i of the public lands and to dispose of them only to
i actual settlers. This will be « fraud upon the
1 States and ought to bo ror,i*lcd as well os nil at
{ tempts to give any portion ol the lands or their
| proceeds, over and above their rightful share, to
' any of the new .Slates. Congress has already
j violated the Virginia Compact by llic vast ces
sions of land for various purposes, made to the
! new Slates as well as a donation to them ol large
sum' of money arising from their sale. An im
mediate stop should bo put to such a faithless
; disposition of that “common fund,” so generously
I reserved by Virginia for the ’hue and benefit
j„f the whole of her sister Stales. I candidly »d
--i mil that the .Stales should lay no claims to any
| other lands or their proceeds than thoso derived
I from the sides North-west of the Ohio river, foe
j although other slates, and parliculaily Gaoi/nt
-1 have made similar ecssien nnd almost in exact
I tin ins, yet as they were made subsequent to the
i addition of the Federal Constitution, 1 think the
I question, by reason thereof, is vety materially va
| ried. If however wo can gel what justly belong
| to us it will he enough for all useful purposes
I The vast amounts whiclqhnve accrued for the last
j forty years, sinee tho adoption of the Federal
Constitution, in which (he government had am
ple power to raise means for its support, indepen
dent of tho land fund, will greatly lesson the
| qualms of cops,deuce whieh some seem to have a
} bout taking niiy part oflhe surplus revenue, anil
i protesting ilia; such another dose must not he pul
j before them. Surely, since that time there can
J lie no excuse either to use or withhold the laud
revenue from the States. Fot my part, d believe
j we ha'o not obtained our own by many millions
I and although, in the distributions now about to
be made, there is part of it does not rightfully
belong to the States, because it is revenue
from other soutcea than that of land sales, yet
there is enough behind, which we ought to have
that will coutpensa c for the gratuity, if it be so
considered, ten times over—Let us come to a fair
settlement, and wo may and ought to refund
whatever is received over and above a fair divis,
tun of the proceeds of the public lands, under tho
solemn rompaot of tho State of Virginia. This
is our tight- In this there is no degradation, no
servile dependence on that government, and,
puiseing ourselves upon our just rights wc should
exact their strict observance,

SUBSTANCE OF LAWS
Unacted at the lute session of the l.egislatmre.
THE GREAT KAIL ROAD.
1. An act to construct a rail road from tho
Tennessee line, to a point on the eastern hank
of the Chattahuoche, at some place between
Oatnphcllton, in Gampbel county, land Wynn’s
Ferry, in Hall county, most eligible for running
branches to Athens, Madison, Milledgevillo,
Forsyth, and Columbus; no greater sum than
5*350,000 to ho appropriated annually, unless a
future Legislature shall otherwise direct; the
Governor to appoint an engineer to make on ac
curate and instrumental examination, survey,
and locution, and an estimate of tho probable
cost, uttil to appoint assistants, surveyors, and at
tendants ; SOO,OOO apprioted for salaries and ex
penses in making the survey ; lb» Governor, if
he shall ifcohi the work practicable at a reasona
ble expense, to oppoint a suporintotuiant; $390,-
,000 art) appropriated for this work, for, the year
1807; when charters are obtained for branch
I mil-roads, the Stale is to subscribe one-fourth of
j tho amount, not to exceed $200,000 for one
j branch.
[This ia an admirable commencement of n
| great enterprise, which, if completed, will mul
i liply tho comforts, and advance the prosperity of
1 our people, while it will vastly increase the
I wealth, and exult the reputation of our Slate,
! But revenue, that fund from which
wo had hoped to see this noble work easily nnd
rapidly executed, has been made n part of the
j capital of the Central Bank; and wo fear that
i it will be found difficult to withdraw from this
j absorbing institution the amounts which will he
| requisite for the completion of tho great rail
-1 road. If wo rightly understand the signs of the
limes, the cause of internal improvement, nnd
also of education, will find a dangerous rival
interest, where it sheuld have only a useful ser
vant.]
SURPLUS REVENUE.
2. One-third of the surplus revenue received
from the United States is to be set apart as a free
school and education fund, the interest alone to
be applied to these purposes. The fund lo be
deposited in the Central Bank, anil la he loaned
1 out as tho other capital ol that institution.—
Commissioners are to he appointed to report a
system for tho State, after having examined the
systems in operation elsewhere.
[This act evinces laudable zeal in a noble
cause, that of diffusing the inestimable benefits
[of education among tho people. But it will be
: found exceedingly dtfiicult to adopt a plliu lo
I the various conditions of our people, here dense- j
ly settled, ou productive lands, and there widely j
; dispersed, with barren waters between. It is a
1 source of regret to the patriot, that this interest j
: must he partially sacrificed, in order to swell the I
capital of the Central Bank. This fund, the in-1
Ici est alone of which is to he applied lo tho cause j
! ol education, if vested in other stock, would :
yield at least 8 per cent; hut as part of the capi
tal of the Central Bank, it will not yield an in
' rarest of more than five per cent.]
TO ALTER THE UAARTER OF THE
CENTRAL BANK.
! H. Accommodation notes hereafter made arc
bo renewed only once in twelve months; hut
j this alteration not to apply to notes now running.
[This act relieves the borrowers from the disu
| grecablo and inconvenient burthen of renewing
j their notes semi-annually, and will ho a very ao
! roptuble accommodation to them. But it will
! increase tho ultimate losses ol the hank. Many
notes sound at the time ol their creation, will in
! twelve months become valueless from tho insol
vency and migration of their makers and endor
-1 sers. UappeningxUiring that long interval.]
OFFICE.OF AD.IUTAMT GENERAL.
4. The State is to be divided into two grand
divisions, Tho Adjutant General in one of these
divisions, am! the Assistant Adjutant General in
the other, lo perform ail the duties previously by
law required of the Adjutant General, Each to
receive a salary of per annum.
I [ln the disardered slate of our military sys
tem, the elficient reorganization of the Adjutant
General’s office cannot fail lo have a beneficial
effect; hut it is only a beginning of tha reforms
that are needed.]
RECEPTION OF THE SURPLUS REVE
NUE.
5. To authorize the State Treasurer to receive
that par*, of the surplus funds of the United
States which may be apportioned to Georgia:
and to give certificates of depoMtc, pledging the
•“#1 • • >•% .. *,•; ’ ■ ~ .. . .
g (kith of the Slain for iU repayment, whe« re
a quired by tha Secretary of the Treasury of the
b .United Staten.
e [This art, conforming to ( tl.e act of Congress
r under which the surplus revenue of the Lulled
d States ia to be appropriated among the several
!■ Stale*, very properly regard* the delivery of a
- part of it to Georgia, as a drjtumic only, which
- the .State should hold ready to be returned, when
required by the depositor. It ia probable it never
• will lie called for by the federal government; but
j the Slate should make such a disposition ol this
i fond, a* to he able to tultil her obligations.]
• REGULATION OF THE DEPOSITS OF
THE SURPLUS REVENUE.
I r.. This art require* lire surplus revenue, re
, reived by tho treasurer, to he deposited in the
• Cent al Hank, to lie loaned to tho citizen*, under
s the regulation* prescribed by law for the loan*
1 of that institution. Should there not he appli
i cations by citizens, within the time prescrilied
■ for discontinuing notes, sufficient to take up the
I amount received from the United Stales, then
■ the Central Bank may loan the residua to char
• lered hank* in which tho State is a Stockholder,
• under the following regulations. The horrow
, ing banka are to pay up such amounts as may
■ he called for, on receiving sixty days notice.
I Should a borrowing hank fail to make the pay
ment required, after receiving this nolce, the
■ Central Bank, on oath of the facta being made
1 by its president, may obtain a writ of execution
t from the clerk of the snpraior couut of the coun
ty in which such defaulting bank may be. to he
■ levied on all of its property , but if any officer of
■ such bank shall make oath, that the amount of
i such execution, or some part thereof, it not due,
i and shall give security for the payment of the a
mount which shall he fuund due ; the issue thus
made shall ho tried by a special jury, at the next
term of such court. Not more than a fourth
part of the sum loaned to any banks, shall be
drawn from it at one time unless there be ap
prehension of tho failure of such bank, or
unless such larger payment shall he rendered ne
cessary by a call from tha treasury of the federal
government.—Should such call he made, notice
shall he given to the individual borrowers, and
and they shall he required to pay, in addition to
the ordinary reduction, such sums on their re
pcclive notes, as shell he necessary in order to
make the payment required by the federal treas
ury.
[This act makca a very largo addition to tho
capital, and consequently to tho power of an in
stitution, whose extended, hut secret patronage,
added to the executive, has already deslroyd the
: equilibrium designed by the constitution to be
■ preserved between the different departments of
• the state government.
i We behove that a return of this fund will never
will never be required by the federal government
hut should this opinion prove erroneous, the slate
will be in great danger of defalcation , since, for
• making her payments to the federal treasury
she will rely on a resource which will he very
apt to fail—extraordinary payment rnado with
promptitude by individual borrowers.
ft is understood, that the Central Bank will
make a new emission of its own notes on the
credit of tho surplus revenue received into its
vault. This operation will he justified'!’/ the law
regulating tho deposiles. It is too pregnant with
important consequences to admit of exposition
in this brief note. It will create such a consoli
dation of tho deposites with the proper capital of
this institution, as to render them incapable of
seperation, and will make it the policy of tho
(Oentral Bank, to oppose all large appropriations
for education or internal improvement in order to
avoid the hazard of having in circulation, a great
er amouiitin its notes than it shall be able to re
deem.
From the Southern Recorder.
Wc deem it but justice to notice specially
some of the appropriations made by the late Le
gislature for public improvements, probably tho
most commendable acts of that body.
Twenty thousand dollars wore appropriated
for ho improvement of the Allamaha river.
Ten thousand for tho improvement of tho Oc
tnulgeo.
Ten thousand for the improvement of tho Oco
n»c.
Ten thousand for the improvement of the
Flint
Sixty thousand dollars for a survey, &c., of the
rail road route from the Tennessee river into the
interior.
Two hundred and nihely thousand lor tho
prosecution of the work during this year.
Thirty thousand for a government house.
Three thousand for tho enclosure of the State
house square.
Four thousand to build a house for principal
keeper of tho Penitentiary.
A large amount, $60,000, for losses, Ac., du'
our Indian difficulties.
And we may consider tho following ss virtual
ly appropriations;
A Bank in Macon was chartered, on condition
of giving as a bonus, $52,000 to the female Col
lege, to be located at Macon;
The stock of the milledge.ville Bank was in
creased one hundred thousand dollars, as an in
vestment to that amount of tho funds of Ogle
thorpe University, which we may say is equal to
the Macon Bank bonus, viz: $52,000.
Tho pay of the members of the Legislature
lias been increased from four to five dollars a day.
Tile Governor’s salary has been increased
from three to four thousand dollars.
The Governor's Secretaries from one thousand
to twelve hundred and fifty dollars each.
Tho keeper of tho Arsenal from four to six
hundred dollars
Tho Cashier of the Central Bank’s salary, from
2000, has been increased to $2500. Teller of
tho same institution from 1,000 to $1,300 and
the Book Keeper and Discount Clerk, from 1,000
to $1,250, each.
The Inspectors of the Penitentiary from 225

We have various reports from Texas,
in relation to the invading Mexican army.
At one time, it is stated, that Gen. Bravo is
on the march,by tho way of Matamoras, and
soon again the whole tale is pronounced to
be (also. It is impossible, amid so many
contradictory statements, to arrive at the
truth, in relation to the ulterior views of the
Mexican government, so far as concerns her
revolted oniony. All the writers that we
have noticed of late, agree in the opinion,
that there is at this time, a strong feeling of
dislike to the American government, existing
among the Mexicans, in consequence of the
aid received by the revolutionists, from our
people, in their struggle for Independence.—

■Washington, Dae. 31, 1886.
1 The SENATE did not sit to-day.
' In the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
1 after the presentation of petitions and memorials,
1 The House resumed the consideration of the
r following resolution, heretofore ofifered by Mr.
1 Garland ol Vs.
> Hetolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury
communicate to thi* House, if within his power,
the dividends and surpluses which were declared
by, and the surpluses and the contingent funds
' remaining in, the several hanks in which the pub
: lie money is deposited, for the years 1833, 1834,
' 1835, and 1836, severally.
1 The question being on the motion heretofore
■ made try Mr. Hanni.oan, to lay the resolution on
1 Hie table, it was taken by yeas and nays, and de
■ cidcd in the negative, yeas 28, nays 141.
Mr. Harlan moved to add to the resolution a
■ provision that the Secretary of the Treasury also
• inform the House whether the hanks paid the
■ salary of an agent in this city, how much each
bank paid, and what was the name of the agent.
Mr. Cushman moved the previous question,
• which was negatived, 71 to 98.
Mr. Harlan remarked that there was no doubt
1 of the existence of such an agent, and it was irn
i portant to ascertain his relations to the bank and
the Treasury.
Mr. Garland said though he did not consider
f the amendment as pertinent to the object of the
f resolution, still he should not oppose it. He was
> willing that the extent of the connexion of this
■ agent with the banks should he inquired into.
1 Mr. '1 ’homvson of S. C. was glad that thegen
-1 tlcrnan was in favor of the motion. This was a
1 subject of deep excitement, and it was proper that
> the facts should be known in regard to it. There
• was a suspicion that this agent had the power of
• removing the Deposites from one hank toanother,
■ and drew exorbitant sums from them for his pat
-1 ronage and influence.
1 After some remarks from Mr. Pearce of R. I.
1 in opposition to tho amendment, and from Mr.
> Hunt in its support, Mr. Vanueupoel remark
• ed that tho amendment was not comprehensive
• enough to meet the objects which gentlemen had
■ in view. The purpose of the member who for
merly made a similar motion, (Mr. Wise) was to
! ascertain the connexion of the agent with the
’ Treasury. He wished to give the inquiry the wi
i dcst possible scope, and to that end, he moved to
' add to the Treasury Department has any Agent
1 or Attorney to correspond or communicate with
f said Deposilc Banks, in relation to the Public
Deposites ; if so, who is such Agent or corres
pondent. what compensation is allowed to him,
or by whom is such allowance made or paid.”
Mr. E. Whittlesev (tho hour for consider
ing resolutions having expired) called for the

AUGUSTA:
Thuriday Evening J un. 5* 1837#
We received nothing by the Express mail
beyond Baltimore for two days.
By some mistake, the outside of our paper is
made to say “morning” instead of “evening. Ihe
Daily is an evening paper.
i Our readers must bear with the barrenness of
our Editorial columns for a few days —such a
1 multiplicity of pressing matters have suddenly
devolved upon us, that we have scarcely a mo
i ment to write a paragraph.
The Semi-weekly paper, which we send to
' our Patrons this tim®, is merely the two in
side forma of our two last Daily papers. It
will hereafter contain all the news of three
Daily papers, with a handsome and appropri
ate head,with the news, miscellany and adver
tisements properly arranged.

To the Patrons of our weekly paper we
must apologise for the late appearance of
; that paper this week. If they could know
half the difficulties, under which we have la
bored—the obstacles we have had to over
[ come in making all the alterations necessary
I from the union of the two papers, added to the
preparations necessary to commence a daily
' publication, they would almost forgive us it
( we had published no weekly paper at all. The
maintenance of owr already enormous country
' circulation, is with us, an object of deep and
’ earnest solicitude, and while we shall learn no
means untried to make our City paper wor
thy of the commercial character of Augusta,
i we B hall bend our energies with a zeal which
’ ihall never cool, and an industry which shall
; never tire, to make our Country paper more
r useful and interesting, than it has ever been
before. After this week it will usually con
■ lain from twenty to twenty-five columns of
' reading matter, miscellaneous, political, &c.
• exclusive of advertisements.
Wc called in for a few moments last evening
to witness the performance of Master Nellis, the
unfortunate youth horn without arms. 1 hose
. performances are certainly very rare, very singu

e DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.
Loss ov the hrio Gambia,of Nevt Yobk.-
The brig Gambia, which sailed from New 1 ork
-for Lisbon, on the 16th ult. was capsized on th,
- nichtoftho 16th, while lying to in a gale of wtm
d in the gulf. Tho captain, first mate, and a pass
engerwere in the cabin at th. tune and wen
i. drowned. Tho survivors, seven in number
c clustered around the forecastle the only part on
of the water, and lashed themselves to the bills
Her# for three days and night# they were ex- a
posed to the pollings of the storm, with nothing
to cat but a few raw potatoes, and no water.
At this period two of the crew died, and the •
cah.n hoy died, raving mad,|and to satisfy the o
cravings of hunger, the body was cut up for food, u
On the night ofthe22dlhe remainder of the *
crew, who had succeeded in reaching the main .
top, saw a vessel to leeward, which proved to be „
the ship New England, on board of which they n
were taken and landed in Boaton.
Tho names of the survivors arc Joseph Couii- _
lard second mate, Samuel Pearson, Andrew (
Smith, and A. Smith.
Tuo-re drowned we e Capt. French, M. Jordan,
mate, and John Dean, passenger. Jacobs, the (
cook, Andrew Paterson seaman, and a Portu- ,
guese hoy, named Alexander, died from fatigue f
and hunger. 1
The Gambia was laden with rice and tobacco. '
About onelthird of tha whole exports nt 1
England consist of the cotton goods rnamifac- j
lured from the growth of the Un’ted States:
in which manufacture not Jess man a million
persons are constantly engaged ; and about j
one half the who'e exports are such cotton <
goods wrought from tho raw material import- (
ed from all countries, in which probably half J
a million more are immediately engaged: so ,
that the cotton trade and manufactures of
England give continual employment to about 1
2 millions out of 29. And employment ia
profitable for in Manchester alone, it yields a
yearly income of 12 millions sterling, or near
ly $60,000,000.
It is not a little singular that this trade '
between the United States and England, net
ther lias nor requires protection by any naval
force.
Considering the amount of this trade in
, both countries, it may safely be inferred that
an attempt to depreciate American securities
by the hanks of England, must recoil on the
trade of England itself; or he wholly ineffect

COMMERCIAL.
uorro.v nuiiKiir.
Since the commencement of the holidays there
has been nothing at all doing in any kind of
trade, and nothing more particularly in our Cot- |
ton market, ,
All the Cottons received from the countrv come
in with high limit*, and ordered to be stored; add
ed to this the last accounts from Liverpool to the
20th, has caused our buyers to hold back, until
later advices are received. We now quote 14 a
15Jcts., as the extremes of the market. In slocks
there lias been considerable excitement, Mechan
ics Bank has advanced ? to 180. (This has been
caused by the act of _thc Legislature increasing
the charter, from 400,000 to 1,000,000.) In
Georgia Insurance and Trust stock sales of 60
Snares were made yesterday at $165 for SIOO
paid in—nothing doing in other stocks, buyers
holding back for the sales of the Augusta & Rail
