[a FARMER’S BANK OF CHATAHOOCHEE.
Reports injurious to the standing of this Bank
have been in circulation in this city for sometime
past, and our Banks have refused to take its
bills, either on deposit or in payment of debts.
On yesterday we published the quarterly report
of the Bank from which we should draw the in
inference that it was perfectly sound; and on
yetterday evening we had a conversation with a
gentleman intimately acquainted with the affairs
of the institution, who assures us that no Bank
in the Stale is in a sounder condition.
FARMER’S REGISTER. AMD SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURIST.
The April Nlimbers of these excellent works
are rich, as usual, in matter of great interest and
valuo to the Planter and Farmer, and amply sus
tain the high character they so justly hold.
We would suggest to the Planters of our State,
the propriety, and indeed the necessity, of plant
ing smaller crops of Cotton than heretofore. The
price of the article is now down, and no prospect
of its rising again shortly. The crop of 1835-6,
considerably exceeded the consumption, and the
crop of 1836-7, is estimated to exceed that of the
previousyear 15J,OOObls. Another excessive crop
will prostrate the price of it to nothing—it would
hardly bo worth the storage. Provisions of every
description are high and scarce, and it is necessa
ry to the actual subsistence of the country, that
planters should turn their attention more to the
raising of grain and stock, than they have for
two or three years past. Half the quantity of
Colton that has been planted in the United States
for two or three years, would yield just as much
money, and leave the people an opportunity to
raise provisions enough to live upon in the most
profuse plenty. We press these hints with earn
estness upon the attention of our planting readers,
at the same time expressing it as our solemn con
viction, that if the crop next fall promises |o he a
large one, new cotton will come in at eight cents.
Wo may be mistaken, but the signs of the times,
we think, are so plain that “he who runs may
read.”
Monday, Acini. 10, 1837.
Pursuant to a public notice, and an adjourn
ment of the same from the 4lh instant to this day,
a number of the State Rights party of Columbia
county assembled at the Court House to-day, for
the purpose of selecting Delegates to represent
them in the State Rights Convention, to be held
in Milledgeville on the third Monday in May next,
for the purpose of nominating a suitable candi

The meeting was organized by calling Archer
Avery, Esq, to the Chair, and Gabriel Jones act

On motion of C. H. Shockley, Esq. it was de
cided that the Chairman appoint a committe of
live, to report the names of four suitable Dele
gates, to represent this county, in lha comlem
platcd Convention; whereupon the Chair ap
pointed Messrs. C. H. Shockley, Isaac Ramsey,

and on motion of Isaac Ramsey, Esq. Messrs.
William A. L. Collins, and Wensley f/obby t
Esqs. were added to the committee—on motion'

the meeting, the names of Messrs. Archer Avary,
Dr. William Hanson, Marshall H. Wellborn, and
Wensley Hobby, Esqs. as suitable Delegates to

the edicts of the supremo government and cen
sures the York party for their interference.
Santa Arm in a letter to the commander of
Vera Cruz from his farm Mango de Clavo under

the oath to observe the new fundamental laws
as general of the Mexican army.
Tiie Society of Friends are very much enrag
ed at President Jackson’s language relative to
Texas. Nothing is so revolting to those writers
as the idea that this country should set up the
remotest claim to that territory. They abuse Mr.
Monroe for supposing that the Rio Bravo was
the boundary of Louisiana.
The Military hospitals have been reorganized
throughout the republic on principles very much
like those adopted in England.
There wera exported from Vera Cruz during
the year 1836 $3,496,852 in gold sne silver.
The papers are filled with the letters of Mr. El
lis to the Mexican Minister of foreign affairs and
his answers thereto, upon the subject of the pass

General Santa Anna took the oath to the new
fundamental laws on the 9lh of March. A largo

’’ AGREEABLE news.
Notwithstanding the embarrassments experi
enced by a portion of the commercial men of this
city, itis gratifying to know that at leasljone of our
monied institutions stands unimpaired in its rc
d sources and untouched in its character; and tins
is a proof and an example of what may be cffecl
-1,1 e d bv a bank in this city when conducted by in

in Wednesday last the president and directors of the
111 Citizens Bank received official advice from Hope
t- Ac Co of Amsterdam that the negociation of their
bonds for the sum of one million and a half ol
rt dollars bad been cansummaled, and that the a
a- mount was ready to be paid to their order in Lon
don and Paris. The same letter apprized them
i, that their bonds for a like sura would be negotia
ted in the course of the month of March, i his is
really cheering intelligence at this moment of
gloom and despondency. But it was notunex

SB prudence &, .the foresight with which the basi.of

THE CURRENCY.
The pressure in the money market, and the ad
vance in the rate of foreign exchange, have given
rise to actual exultation on the pan of the Go
vernment official. Considering the mercantile in
terest generally as hostile to the whole anti-com
mercial measures of the late Administration, it
seems to take a demoniac pleasure in the embar
rassments to the merchants produced by ttiosa
measures. So great is its joy that it has not even
the discrclion to attempt to conceal it; and we
have the singular spectacle of the official organ
of the Administration rejoicing that the merchants
doing business with foreign nations have to pay 3
per cent, premium on exchange, in preference to
making calls on the honks Cor specie, and, by so
doing, to increase the pressure. We also sec it
congratulating the country that this stale of things I
has been brought about by the acts of the ad
ministration in forcing the specie from its natu- I
ral channel, from its natural position by the laws |
of trade, and placing it where it cannot be reached
when those lawsjof trade direct a call upon it.
The official acknowledges that thcspccie which
the Treasury circular forces to the West, and re
tains there, would, were it not for the circular,
find its way to the great cities on the seaboard,
there to be used as it lias always been used, and
as common sense dictates it should be used, as
merchandise, nr as money to pay balances or debts
abroad. In the profundity of ils ignorance it sup
poses that, by government rcgulalions, there can
be collected in the country vast amounts of specie
which can be retained in it at the will of the go
vernment. The slightest acquaintance with the
history of commercial regulations would have
taught the Administration better. It would have
taught them that the utmost stretch of despotic
power was unequal to the task of confining gold
and silver within the bounds prescribed to it con
trary to the natural laws of trade. The attempt
lias been made again and again, and has always
failed, although enforced by penalties of the high
est character. To show the inefficiency of all
such regulations we need but call to mind that for
two hundred years the exportation of the precious
metals fiom Spain was prohibited under the pe
nally of death I yet the exportation went on as
regularly as that of any olher commodity of the
kingdom.
It is true, and our country for some years past
has had sad experience of the fact, that ignorance
and corruption may throw obstacles in the way of
the regular operation of the laws of trade ; but
these obstacles arc hut temporary, and, like a dam
of sand across a running stream, are soon swept
away by the accumulated waters behind, carry
ing, for a time, ruin and desolation in their pro •
gross
Many millions of specie have been thrown into
the West, by the operation of the Government,
which the official acknowledges would not other
wise he there. It has b asted that that was the
object for which the circular was issued, and that
it had effected its object. It now congratulates
the country that so much specie has been placed
in a situation where it cannot bo reached by the
merchants to pay the foreign balances. It ac
knowledges that there is such a balance, and has
the hardihood to tejoice that obstacles are placed
in the way of its being paid I
How will our country look abroad when it is
seen that the official organ of the Government is
boasting that the Administration is taking mea
sures designedly calculated to prevent our citi
zens paying their foreign debts—thus encouraging
them to defraud the citizens of foreign countries,
or to render the payment of their just debts as
onerous and as burthersome to them as possible !
Such a thing could scarcely be believed, except
upon the authority of the official oigan itself.
This balance, however, must and will be paid,
whether it arises from loans made to the Slates,
from importations of bread stuffs to keep the
Northern democracy from starving, or from any
olher cause. Our cilizens have borrowed the mo
ney, have eaten the bread, and have worn the
cliches, and used in various ways the productions
of foreign countries, and are able and willing to
pay for tht?m. True, some merchants may bo
ruined, and msny will lose the labor of years, and
will live to curse the ignorance, folly, and corrup
tion of an Administration which sacrifices honest
industry to a set of corrupt speculators.— ll’ash

From the N. O. True American,
THE BANKS—THE BANKS.
Perhaps no question since the reformation,
has engrossed us much of public attention, as
that ot Banks. No question certainly, has
involved, to a greater degree, the stability and
i.appiness of society. Toe written charter of i
our liberties settled this question in away that i
no doubt could be entertained. Me who lias
ever read the debates on the constitution will '
recollect that the power was given to Congress t
to emit bills nf credit, during the greater part i
of the session of the Convention. All the
slates voted for the power except Maryland
and New Jersey. Towards the end of the
session it was taken away by the very same
states that voted for it, and the states them
selves in their sovereign capacities, prevented
from issuing bills of credit. With such a set-
of this questio vexala, it is reasona
ble to conC.'ttde that the practice of Banking
would have so soon as the constitution
was adopted. But contrary to all the rules of
.rood faith, the system was persisted in. by
contending that the prohibition extended only
to the general and elate government directly.
Thus at the very outset ot I lie Constitution on
the road to experiment, was its meaning sub
verted, and the power of the federal and state
authorities to grant bank charters permanently
established. The voices that from time Jo |
time, were sincerely raised against the doc
trine, were drowned in the general cry, in fa
vor of the system. Whenever the defenders
i were brought to acknowledge tbo force of con
s slitutional arguments against their cause, and
■ oft have they boon driven to such a dilemma,
i expediency became lha refuge for their vio.
f lalions of the sacred instrument. Had the
! genera' government persisted in making gold
and silver coin a legal tender only, and insist
ed on the observance of tho constitution by
the states as expressly la d down, the country
would never have exper eneed tl;3 disastrous
fluctuations in her commerce that now darken
almost every page of iier atmals. We were
then in our infancy and just starling upon the
high road to wealth and prosperity. Then
was the lime to set. out with correct principles.
But cupidity and designs ot the few, then us
now, construed the constitution to suit their
own purposes, and the expediency of hanking
was admitted. One admitted, the general go
vernment had a superior right to establish a
National Bank. Tnis was done, and for more
than three fourths of the* time that the chart
ers ot the old and late United States Dinks
had to tun, the results of their administration
have been highly beneficial to the country not
only in providing an efficient ami par
value currency, but in restraining the disposi
tion to over-banking by the states, and whore
state institutions existed by controlling
(heir issues within a wholesome limit.—
Some evils were left by the country from
the mal-adminietralion of these two national
institutions, it is true. But as the country
had adopted the system, they had to take the
good with the bad. In the fullness of time
came the hypocritical and demagogical ad
ministration of Andrew Jackson. The Uni
ted States Bank refused to pander Is power,
and down went this establishment. The pres
sure of the controlling influence having been
removed, the stale banks madly shot from
their proper spheres ami the whole Union was
deluged at once with millions of paper money
This is the tendency of all monied institu
tions, when felt to their own direction. As in
Physical Astronomy, the Planets would cease
to revolve in their orbits, were it not for the
common centre of attraction, so in banking,
State Banks become unmanageable unless a
greater power sustained by the general gov
ernment exist to keep them within the hounds
assigned by the charters thatculled them into
being. The present evils that the country is
wofuliy experiencing have arisen more Irom
the political cliatlatauism of Gen. Jackson,
limn from any other cause. Ho is the real
source of our commercial troubles. It is un
necessary for ns to wudo through the history
of a reign too deeply engraved on the memo
ries of all who have lived to witness ils termi
nation. Yet in the midst of the boundless
inducements thus afforded by the government
to overissues and undue expansions, (hero arc
banks throughout the country that have for
tunately been administered by men of such
nerve and temperament that the glittering
but deceptions prize of I he immediate realiza
tion o \'millions did not suffice to turn one mo
ment from obstinately pursuing the path that
the rigid principles of commerce pointed out
to their view and held constantly to their eyes.
Many such banks are lo be found even in New
Orleans. It is to them that the public now
look for relief from present pressure. To
point them out shall he our duly another lime.
From the Richmond Whig.
The Judiciary of the UniteiT Stales.
The degradation of the Supreme Court of
the U. S. by the late Executive—in filling it
with unscrupulous parliza ns, will beheld not
the least of the evils which that curse inflic
ted on the country. The appointment of
Taney, a man whose claims to the station
which Marshall had honored, rested confes
sedly on his disgraceful partiztin services, it
was hoped, would be the only encroachment
on the dignity, respectability and usefulness
of the highest tribunal in the Union. The
hope, however, proved delusive. By the hill
passed at the last session increasing the num
ber of Judges, it became necessary to make
two more appointments. These, the old He
ro, at the very close of his flagitious career,
determined to bestow on two faithful parli
zans. The one was conferred on Win. Smith
ol Ala., whose servility and political rancour
are 100 well known to require any comment:
The other on a Judge Catron, whose name
wo never saw or heard, until the appointment
was announced. In reference to his qunlifi.
cations, we find the following in the Baltimore
Chronicle:
“JUDGE CATRON OF THE SUPREME
COURT.—The nomination of this man, in
the very last hours of the Presidency of Gen.
Jackson, to the important office of associate
justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, was in keeping witli the despotic char,
acter of the late President.—Objectionable as
was the time chosen for Ills nomination, it ap
pears, from an article in the Nashville Banner,
that still stronger objections he against the
man, which, if known to the Senate, ought to
half; nrevenied their approval his his ap
pou'' int. From the Banner we learn that
lie is a discarded Judge of the Supreme Court
of Tennessee, having been removed from that
office for his “arrogant and imperious and, at
times, insolent deportment on the bench.”
“It is this,” says the Banner “that has ren
dered him, and justly, one ot the most unpop
ular judges that ever presided in Tennessee.
A reference to the yeas and nays on the Le
gislative Journals will show, that, on the oc
casinn of his defeat when last a cafldidate for
the Supremo Bench of Tennessee, ho found
in the Van Buren ranks—his own political
coadjutors—his most vigilant, influential and
uncompromising enemies. So exceedingly
unpopular had lie rendered himself to the Bar,
that men of all parties united to displace him.”
Ho is moreover deficient in a correct, know
ledge of the English language; his diction is
barbarous and unique and Cull of numerous
vulgarisms,that wholly unlit him for tire station
he has been appointed lo fill.
Such is the character of a judge of the Su
preme Court of the United States! A court
that should be the most august in the world,
and until, the reign ol Jacksonism commen
ced, a body whose members were renowned
for their legal knowledge and revered for their
many virtues. Into this sacred temple of jus
tice, such men as judge Catron should hardly
be permitted to enter as solicitors; corruption
must indeed he rife when he is called to pre
side as one of its ministers.
The overthrow of Van Buren will relieve
us from the thousand other evils wc are now
suffering under—the injury inflicted on the
country by the appointment of Judge Catron
will continue «ilh his life.”
Exclusive Local News.—A late London
paper tells a very amusing story, growing out
of (ho rivalry of two country newspapers pub
lished in the West of England. The chief
recommendation of all the provincial papers
in that country is the interest and quantity of
the local news; and the two editors referred
to principally displayed their hostility to each
other by a deadly jealously of that kind of in
telligence. The one journal was published
on Friday and the other on Saturday. It oc
curred one moonlight, Thursday evening,
while he of the Saturday was wafking about
Haifa mile from the town, that he observed, a
short distance off the road, the body of a man
suspended by the neck from a tree, and who,
upon examination, he found had committed
suicide, A fit of alarm seized the Saturday
editor, lest the discovery of the man having
destroyed himself should be made that night,
and consequently the rival journalist be the
first to give the particulsra of a circumstance
which could not fail to produce a great sensa
tion in the place. If Friday’* ’Chronicle’ had 1
the intelligence before the Saturday’* *Cour
’ j, •■•o dd he fte making nffh» fortune of I
■ the former, while it would bn all but the ruin
’ of the latter. What was to bo done to prc.
’ vent it? A thought struck the conductor ol
1 the Cottranl; he would, assisted by a confiden
i tial person employed in the office, cut down
the body, and secretJy convey it to a s'able of
1 his own, where lie would conceal it till the
following night—against which time the rival
journal would he published—and then return
with it lo the spot where lie found :t. A horse
and cart were procured, and the deceased was
conveyed lo the editor's stable, where the bo
dy was covered with straw.
Hiving thus, as he believed, secured the
nows of the suicide to himself, he betook him
to his editorial chair and was engaged during
the greater part of the night in wonting out a
talc of horror of his Saturday’s paper; and it
was not till long after midnight, that lie retir
ed, with an anxious mind,to bed. He soon fell
asleep, dreamed of the sensation the suicide
had created among the people, the chagrin of
his rival editor at the tale of horror in his pa
per, and the large edition ho had gold.
Early next morning, a servant, having oc
casion to go into the stable, in rummaging
about, discovered the corpse bid under the
straw, and immediately ran screaming to
the house. His cries disturbed the editor;
ho jumped up slipped on his clothes, and
rushed down s'nirs. The cause of the noise
was explained to him; —he pronounced the
servant a fool, snatched the keys of the sta
ble, and inn out and locked it,—command
ing that no one should attempt to go into
the stable that day. The cries of the ser
vant had attracted the attention ol a man pass
ing by at the lime, who seeing him running
from the stable seemingly much terrified, had
gone to the door and looking in and discov
ered the object of the servant's fear. As a
good citizen, he spread the news, and in ten
minutes the proper authorities were apprised
of the circumstances. An inquiry into the
matter was immediately instituted. Suspicion
fell on the journalist; ho had been seen, at
tended, by one ofthe men in hi* employ, la
kmgsuinetliing out of a cart and carrying it
into the stable on the preceding night. He
wss taken into custody; a corner’s jury sat on
the body; a number of circumstances, strong
ly presumtivu ofhis having strangled the die
ease, transpired in the course of the corner’s
investigation ; and his own life, according to
appearances, was about lo become the price
ofhis anxiety to deprive his rival of “interest
ing local news,”
In vain did lie protest Itis innocence—in
vain did lie relate each particular evc/il as it
had occurred. His haggard countenance, —
his locking the stable dour after the body had
been discovered by the servant, his command
that no one should go into it during the day,
wore held to he almost conclusive against Ins
story, and his commitment was about to be
made out. Fortunately for him, at this mo
ment, one of the jury fooling in a side pocket
ofthe deceased that had been overlooked in
the first instance found a letter written a few
hours before the suicide, in which he declared
his intention to destroy himself. It relieved
the editor—but his narrow escape, and the
trouble he got himself into, made him fut more
cautions in future us to the means ho took
lo obtain “exclusive local news."— Baltimore

ACENTURY AGO.
The following [from Lady Montagu's
lately published Loiters] is an account of u
scene which, we wilt venture to assort, is
i without a parallel, in any age or nation.—
Nat. Gaz.
“London, May. 173 S .—Here is no news
to be scot yati from this place, which ljus been
for this fortnight and still continues overwhel
med wAh politics, and which are of so mys
terious a nature, one ought, to have some of
the gifts of Lilly or Patmlge to be able to
write about them ; and I loavoall those disser
talions lo those distinguisliud mortals who
are endowed with the talent of divination ;
though 1 uni at present the only one ot my
sex who seems to be of that opinion, the la
dies having shown their zeal and appetite for
knowledge in a most glorious manner. At
the last warm debate in the House of Lords,
it was unanimously resolved there should he
no crowd of unnecessary auditors ; conse
quently the fair sex were excluded, and the
gallery destined to the sole use ofthe House
of Commons. Notwithstanding which deter
mination, a tribe of dames resolved to show
on this occasion that neither men nor laws
could resist them. These heroines were La
dy Huntingdon, * the Dutchess of Qneensbu.
ry, the Dutchess, of Alienator, Lady West
moreland, Lady Cobliam, Lady Charlotte Ed
win, Lady Archibald Hamilton and her
daughter, Mrs. Scott, Mrs, Pendarvis,and La
dy Frances Samidcrson. lam thus particu
lar in their names, since I look upon thorn to
he the boldest osserters and most resigned
sufferers for liberty I ever read of. They
presented themselves at the door at nine
o’clock in the morning, where Sir William
Suunderson respectfully informed them the
Chancellor had made an order against their
admlttanco. The Dutchess of Quconsbury,
as head of the squadron, pished at tki ill
hroedingofa mere lawyer, and to
let them up stairs privately. After soine mod
est refusals, ho swore by G— he would not
let them in. Her Grace, with a noble warmth,
answered by G— they would cornc in, in spite
of the Chancellor and the whole House.
Tills being reported, the Peer* resolved lo
starve them out; an order was made that the
doors should not be opened till they hud rais
their seige. These Amazons now showed
themselves qualified for the doty even of foot
soldiers ; they stood there till five in the after
noon, without sustenance, every now and
then playing vollios of thumps, kicks, and
raps, against the door, that the speakers in
the House were senree heard. When the
Lords were not lo be conquered by this, Ihe
two Dmchessess (very well apprized of the
use of stratagems in war) commanded a dead
silence of half an hour; and the Chancellor,
who thought this a certain proof of their ab
sence, (the Commons also being very impa
tient lo enter,) gave order tor the opening of
the door; upon which they all rushed
in, pushed aside their competitors, and
placed thorn-elves in the front rows ofthe
ga'lery. They stayed there till alter eleven,
when the House rose; and during the debate
gave applause, and showed marks of dislike,
not only by smiles and winks, (which have
always been allowed in these cases,) hut by
noisy laughs and apparent contempt; which
is supposed the true reason why poor Lord
Hervey spoke miserably. I beg your pardon
dear madam, for this long relation; but,'ll*
impossible to be short on so copious a subject;
and you must own this action very well wor
thy of record, and I think not to he paralleled
in any history ancient or modern. I look so
little in my own eyes, (who was at that time
ingloriously sitting over a tea-table,) I hardly
dare subscribe myself even. Yours.”
•Lady Huntingdon, tho same who afterward*
became the head, the CouDtcae Matilda, of tho
Whitfieldian Methodist*.
