Tuimage. :\ f Gumming, Foiisvth Co., Hep. 4, 1837. The scenery about Dahlohnega is exceedingly beautiful and romantic. The town is surround ed on all sides with mountains. The road from Athens and Gainesville winds for miles through ravines, as it approaches the town—enabling the traveller to move forward with unchecked speed on almost a dead level, whilst lofty lulls arise on every hand around him. There is a splendid view of mountain scenely from a point about a mile south ot Dahlohnega. It is considered by many as the finest view in the country. Bull am persuaded that all would admit, after exami nation, that it bears no comparison, in sublimity, with a view I have just enjoyed from Sawney’s Mountain, three miles north west of Gumming, Forsyth county. This mountain rises up from the plane, a solitary eminence, distant from any other range. To the east and south, the eye is lost in the boundless stretch of even surface, ex cepting only the distant view of the Slone Moun tain in Dekalb county, which is most distinctly seen on the southern horizon. But to the north and west the scene is grand and sublime beyond description. You see various ranges of moun tains towering aloft to llic heavens,and stretching around you in an irregular but most beautiful semi-circle of some eighty or a hundred miles in length, at a distance apparently of some thirty miles from the central position you occupy. A portion of these mountains appears to be a regu lar range of the Blue Ridge, winding from ninth cast to south west in its general bearing—giving T you a side view,of the mountain. Other portions, | and by far the largc-t, are hut the terminating ■l} points of different spurs which are on a range Y with the eye, and which approach you as lire ra •4 di of a circle towards its centre. They present every variety of tonn and elevation —the conical iform however predominating. Covered at this season from the base to the summit with verdent foliage, they have something of tho soft appear- i anee ol lolly piles ot new mown grass. I doubt whether another veiw of equal sublimity is to be i seen in the United Slates. You stand on a lone ' ly eminence and gaze upon the bold terminating | points of the various mountain ranges that tra | verse our country from north to south. The silo i you occupy seems to be, if you please, a barrier to stop them in their progress, or a central post at a distance to guard th m—and you may imagine the voice of the Eternal saying to these towering summets, “Hitherto shall thou come and no far ther.” II our low country people wish to enjoy scene ry, or premole health, or find delicious water, they ought to travel westward in summer, instead of going to the impure atmosphere of the northern cities, and to tho crowded haunts of their water ing places. Let them climb the beautiful hills, and breathe the elastic air, and witness tire mag nificent scenery of this Cherokee country for one summer, and they will come again. I found much to interest and delight me in a tour,somewhat extensive,through this new coun try. Its immense importance is by no means adequately appreciated by onr cil zens below.— It contains largo bodies of rich land, especially in Cass, Floyd, Walker and Murray counties, and there is much good land in the other counties. There is a splendid tract of bottom land along the whole course of the Hightower river, (an English corruption of the pure Indian word E-low-a.) The climate combines the salubrity of the north, with tiro mildness of the south.— If any of tire rich bottom lands should prove ex ceptions to this rule in point of health, they are approached by hills in their vicinity of Unques tionable heallhfulness, of sufficient nearness for all the purposes of the farmer’s residence. This can never lecoirio a great cotton country, and so much the bettor for its permanency, as well as its utility to lire cotton growing counties below.— But it is admirably adapted for the growth of ail kinds of grain, of articles of consumption, and as a grazing country for stock. Exhauslless quantities of minerals are to ho found, particularly iron ore of th ■ richest quality, coal and gold. I also saw Some admirable speci mens ot marble, Tho water is of a superior quality, both lime-stone and free. I saw a natu ral limestone spring at Col. Montgomery’s in Walker county, seven feet deep. I saw another at Judge Henry's, a few miles above,ton feet deep, from which issues a stream that almost deserves tho name of a rivet. The country abounds with natural curiosities A large cave has been found near Cassville. An other of an almost interminable series of cham bers, and as yet but partially explored, has been discovered near Walker O. 11. Besides these, there is lire curious Neckujack Cave, previously known, in Walker county, having a creek flow ing from its mouth, with a waterfall in its ca verns. There is a waterfall in Lumpkin county, said to be ot 400 feet perpendicular descent, I his country is fast settling by a plain, hardy industrious population. Their wisdow and fore sight arc pleasantly exhibited in tiro fact that an excellent academy ini ldi"g is, to lie found at nearly every court bouse—some of them elegant brick buildings. They are about to erect female academies in addition. They are already talking of establishing a college for this region, in connec tion with the neighboring counties of Alabama and Tennessee, waich contain much land of sur prising ler ilily and beauty of location. Thus while engaged in felling the trees and preparing ■ their settlements, they arc also laying the founda tion for the education of their children. Their court houses are, in'general, the finest buildings of the kind in the Stale—of brick ma tin ial, and tastefully constructed. This section of the Slate must, in lire course of time, contain an immense population, anti give laws to Georgia. It becomes, therefore, the Chris tian and tire patriot, to look with deep inter est, and to aid them in laying the foundations of knowledge, morals and religion, deep and broad. They are very destitute of religious privileges.— The county of Murray, for instance, lias hut one solitary minister of the gospel, of any religious denomination, within its bounds. They are lire warm friends of internal improvo- Anent, and well they may lie, for they only need an avenue to market, such as the rail road will afford them, to remove every obstacle and to com plete every instrumentality to their rising great ness. The Cherokee country added to old Georgia, in their exhauslless resources of clima e, soil and production, unquestionably give the Stale every desirable facility for becoming all that one of our talented and enterprising fellow citizens aims to see it, “If not the veiy first state in the Union certainly second only to New York.” [from our correspondent.] WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, 1837. The hill to postpone the October instalment of the IX-posites to the States, as announced by Mr. Pickens, to limit the period of post, poncment to the Ist of Jan. 1839, was sent back to tire Senate; and that body concurred in lire amendment—so that the bill has passed both bodies, received the signatures of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the presiding officer of the Senate ; and has been sent to the President of the United Sta.es for his approval The administration parly in both branches of the National Legislature having supported it, the measure will of course receive ihe sanction of President Van Buren, and may now bo regarded as a law of tho land. The subject of a National Bank was again brought up in the House to day ; under the form of the resolution reported some time ago by the Committee of ways and means, declaring such an institution expedient. Mr. Seigeanl of Pa. pro ceeded in his remarks against the adoption of the resolution ; and on the general financial policy of the country. Without finishing, lie was obli ged to give way for the orders of ihe day. The House then took up the Joint Resolution which had passed the Senate, fixing the 9ih ol October for the period oi tire termination of the session, Mr] Cost Johnson ol Md, moved to lay it on the ta ble. This was lost. Mr. Haynes of Georgia pro posed as an amendment that the word “Ninth’ should he struck out, and its place filled l>y the “16ih.” This gave rise to a long and animated debate running into the consideration of the vari ous measures that have been presented to Con. gross, and involving numberless points of order. . Mr. Cambieliug expressed iris concurrence in , Ric amendment. Mr. Pickens was also in favour of it. Mr. Adams rose to make ids protest a t gainst any adjournment until tho business s ol tho country should ho attended In: and lie '- moved therefore that the words --9. h of October” g ire struck out; and that "the Ist of April 1838” - Im inserted. Air. Adams demanded whether o Congress intended to adjourn as soon as they had o finished tho -kings business” that is, pass their a money hills'! If so, he saw no reason why they 0 should not adjourn, ami go home at once. Tho ’ two measures intended for Ihe Governments con . vcnience had passed. And he contended, that if it was intended to pass lire rest, iliey must ho car . ried without any debate or examination at all j, or tire session must be prolonged far beyond tho j- time disignated in the resolution. Mr. Patton of 1 Va. also spoke at some length on the condition . of the business of Congress, as rendering it alien j lutcly necessary to take more time to consider ■ (ho subjects before the House than was prescribed e in tile resolution, and advocated the prolonging of the session to October 16th. Mr. Thompson of S. C. was against any pro . longing of the time of the session. He wish s cd to have lime to meet with, and consul this coretilucnts on tire great measure proposed—tho (i Sub-Treasury System. He advocate tho origi , nal resolution. J . , ■ Mr. Wise asked Cambreiing, whether it was r the intention of government, bona fide,to bring „ forward tho measure, called the Sub-Treasury j scheme, and said his vote would depend on the answer. Cambreiing replied that it was certain ly the intention of government that the measure should lie presented, and carried if possible. Ho B added that there would bo no flinching on iris part —and that tile house would then see, whelh r cr Mr. Adams would toe the mark ho had taken s in his tumour loiter. Mr. Wise then said, ho had heard the answer of Mr. Cambreiing and he only had to say it completely satisfied him that tho measure would I not bo brought forward. He declared tiro Gov. eminent neither intended to carry out their Fan -5 ny Wright system of divorce of the Government from the banks; nor their schemes for an exclu sively mrtaiic currency. After some remarks from Mr. Glascock of Ga. and Mr. Hamer of Ohio the question was taken on Mr. Patton’s motion lo postpone the whole subject lilt Monday, and was rejected. The question was then put on the motion to substitute tho woids “October lOtlr’i for “October 9” and was carried by a majority of 12. Satire house resolved to close the session on that day. The Senate will most probably concur in the amendment. The Mississippi Election case was then taken up : and is now under discussion. In the Senate the suh-Treasury scheme was a gaiu taken up ; and Mr. Bayard of Del., made a long speech in opposition to it ; and on tho gener al financial policy of the Administration. Ho was followed by Mr. Wright, in reply ; and he is now addressing the Senate on the subject. Mr. Grundy lias reported a hill from tiro Com mittee on tho Judiciary, fixing the fees for tho re newal of Merchants Revenue Bonds, at fiio del jars for each renewal.

They were in number about 300. We have heard no . corise assigeed for this movement on then- part. We also learn that two Expresses were due at Fort King from Tampa Bay, and fears were cu teriained that they had been cut off. Remark. —Tire above disappearance is per haps supernatural-—3OO Indians have disappear ed! —Thank Ged! Hope they will never appear again. We trust thatthc expresses are not cut off— andwill arrive after some delay. REMARKS OF MR. CALHOUN, In Ihe Senate of the Vailed Stales, on the Dill authorising an issue of Treasury Notes, on Ihe It )lh September, 1837. Mr. President: An extraordinary course of events, w til which all are too fa miliar to need recital, lias separated in fact, the Government and the banks. What rela tion shall they bear hereafter.’ Shall the banks again be used as fiscal agents of the f Government? Be the depositories of lire pub- i lie money? And, above all, shall their notes 1 be considered and treated, as money, in the i - receipts and expenditures of tlie Government? i , This is the great and leading question; one , of the first magnitude, and full of consequen ces. I have given it my most anxious and , ] deliberate attention; and have come to the conclusion that we have reached the period when the interest bot h of the Government and , the banks lorbid a reunion. 1 now propose to offer my reasons for this conclusion. 1 shall ' do It with that perfect frankness due lo the subject, to the country, and the position I oc ! copy. All I ask is, that I may be heard with a candor and fairness corresponding to the I sincerity with which I shall deliver my sen timents. Those who support a reunion of the banks 1 and tho Government, hive lo overcome a 1 preliminary difficulty. They are now sepa s rated, by operation of law, and cannot be uni i ted while the present state of tilings continue. . without repealing the law winch has disjoined them. 1 ask, who is willing to propose its repeal? Is there any one who, during the suspension of specie payments, would mlvo ■ cate their employment as the fiscal agents of the Government, who would make them the , depositories of tire public revenue, or who would receive and pay away their notes in the > public dues? there be none, then it results • that the separation must continue for the pre • sent, and that Ihe reunion must tie the work i- of lime, and depending on t tie contingency of ’’ the resumption of specie payments. But suppose tins difficulty to be removed, , and that the banks were regularly redeeming riieir n -les, from vh it par y m this body can ' the proposition come, or by which can it be . supported, fi-r a reunion between them and (lie Government? Who, after vvhat lias hap ri peiied, can advocate the reunion of tho Gov ernment with the league of Sia’o banks? Can I the opposition, who for years have been de nouncing it as the most dangerous instrument u j <il' p ivvor, mul cfiicit'iit moaiH ofcirrupiiii 0 ; mid coni rolling tho Government and country >, ('an they, after the oxapt fulfilment of nil the , ; predictions of disislrous consequences Croi I the cniiiieclioii, now turn round and snppur r I that winch they luvesp and loudly con 1 denmed! Wo have heard much from the op r | posilesile of untried experiments on the cur , 1 rency. I concur in the justice oFt he c^nspre Nothing can require to he in ire delicate)* 1 I handled. It ougotHever to he tampered with ■j nor touched, until it becomes absolutely no f cess ary. Hut if untried experiments justly - deserve censure, what condemnation woult I a repetition of an experiment Unit has fallen j deserve? An experiment that basso signally failed belli in the opinion of supporters and 1 opponents, as to call down the bitter denim -1 elation'of those who tried it. Iflornake the . experiment was folly, the repetition would he madness. But if the opposition cannot sup- I port the measure, how can it he expected to , receive support from the friends of the admin istration, m whose bauds the experiment has so signally failed, as to call down from them execrations deep and loud! If, Mr. President, there he any one point fully established by experience and reason, I hold it to he the utter incompotency of the Slate biinks to furnish, of themselves, a sound and s'able currency. Tuey may succeed in prosperous times, but 'ho lost adverse current necessarily throws them into utter confusion. Nor has any device been found to give them the requisite strength and stability, but a great central and controling hank, instituted under the authority of this Govern mem. i go further. If wo must continue our connex ion with the banks—it we must receive and pay away their notes as money, we not only have the right to regulate and give uni formity and stability to them, hut we are hound to do so, and to use the most efficient means fur that purpose. The constitution makes it our duty lo lay and collect the taxes & duties uniformly 'throughout the Union,to fitllil which-we are hound lo.give tliehighest possible equality of value throughout every pa, I of the country, to whatever medium it miiy bo col lected in; and if that he bank notes, to adopt the most effective moans of accomplishing it, which experience has shown to he a Haul; of the United Stales. This has been long my opinion. I entertained it in 1810, ami repea led it in my place hero on the doposilu ques tion in 1634. The only alternative, then, is, disguise it as you may, between u d scouneg ion and a Bank oft he United States. This is the real issue to which all must conic, aid ought now to he openly and fai ly mot. But there are difficulties, in the way of a National Bank, no less formidable Ilian a re connection with the Stale hanks. It is utterly impra, elide at present to establish one. There is reason to behove that a majority of the people of the United Slates are deliberately and unalterably opposed to it. At all events there is a numerous, respectable, and power ful party, 1 refer to the old States rights party,’ who are, and over have boon, from the begin ning of the Government, opposed to the bank, and whose opinions thus long and firmly en tertained. ought at least to be so much respec ted aslofinid the creation of one without in amendment of the constitution. To this must ho added the insuperable dilficiiliy, that the Executive branch of the Government is opeifly opposed to it, and pledged to interpose Ins veto, on constitutional grounds, should u hill pass to incorporate one. For four years at least, thou, it. will ho impracticable to char ter a hank. Whul must be done :n ihu mean time? Shall the Treasury bo organized to perform the functions, which have been recent ly discharged by l lie barks, or shall the Stale institutions he again employed until a bank can be created ? In the one case, we shall li *ve the so much villifiod and deni unco I sub treasury, us it is called ; in the other, tiiilicul tiesjnsiirmoumahle would grow up ag i list the establishment of a bank. Let the tSiaie insti tutions he once reinstate I and reunited to the Government as their fiscal agents, and tney will, ho found the first and most strenuous op ponents of a national hank, by which they would ho overshadowed and curtailed in their profits. 1 hold it. certain, that‘in prosperous limes, when the State hanks arc in full ope ration, it is impossible to establish a national bank. lie creation, then, should the reunion with the otate banks take place, will be post poned,until some disaster, similar lothe jno sent; shall again befall the country, hut it re quires little of the spirit of prophecy to sue, that such another disaster would ho Hie death of the whole system. Already it has hail two paralytic strokes—the third would prove fatal. But suppose these difficulties were over come, I would still he opposed to the incorpo ration of a hank. So far from affording the relief, which many anticipate, it would be the most disastrous measure that could ho adopted As great as is r lie calamity under which the country is suffering, it is nothing to what would lollovv the creation of such an iiislilu tion, under existing circumstances. In order to compel the State institutions to pay specie, the bank must have a capital as great, or , nearly as great, in proportion to the existing institutions, as the late bank had win n estab lishod, to those of that day. This would give it an immense capital, not much less , titan one hundred millions ot dollars, of which a largo proportion, say twenty millions, must be specie. From what source is it to be derived? From the Slate Banks! It , would empty their vaults, and leave them in { the most helpless condition. From abroad, | and England in particular; it would reproduce { that revulsive current, which lias lately cov- | ered the country with desolation. The tide , is still running to Europe, and if forced back by any artificial cause, before the foreign debt is paid, cannot but he followed by the most disastrous consequences. But suppose this difficulty overcome, and the bank re-established, I ask what would he the effects under sucli circumstances I , Where would it find room for business, com- j ( tnedsurale with Us extended capital, without I crushing the Slate institutions, enfeebled by j . the withdrawal of their means in order to ere- j ate the instrument of their oppression? A|, few of the more vigorous might survive; but j the far greater portion, with iheir debtors, ere- j | ditors, and stockholders, wou <1 he involved in j , common ruin. The bank would, indeed,give ' a spec e currency, not by enabling die exi ing institutions to resume, but by destroying them and taking their place. Those who lake a different view, and so fondly anticipate relieftrorn a National Bank, . are deceived, by a supposed analogy between the present situation of the country, and that , of ISlfi, when the late hank was chartered, after the war with Gteat Britain. I was an actor in that scone, and may he permitted to speak in relation toil wfith some little author ity. Between the two periods, there is little or no analogy. They stand almost in con trast. In 1818, the Government was a debtor to the hanks, now it is a creditor; a difference of the greatest importance, as far as the pre sen'question is concerned. The banks had over issued, it is true, but their over issues were to the Government, a solvent and able debtor, whose credit held by the hanks in the shape ot stock, was at pur. If. was their ex cessive issues to the Government on its stock which mainly caused the suspension ; in proof of which, it is a remarkable tact, that the depreciation of bank paper under gild and silver was about equal lo the proportion which eg | the Government stock held by llit* hanks ho Ito their .ssues. It was this excess that bun dr (on the market nod depressed the value i mi their notes. Tho Solution is easy. Tl r: hanks loo.; the Government stock payable i n- twelve years, and issued their notes (or to P- same, payable on demand, in violation of til r- plainesi principles ot banking, it fuliowe 0 ot course, that when wore pn •>’ settled for payment, they had nothing hut Goi b, stock to meet them. But its stock was at par,«l R ‘ all the banks had to do was to go min maria [>’ with the slock they held, and lake up llmi d notes, and thus the excess which hung upoi d the market and depressed their value, woult v have been withdrawn from circulation, am d thg residue would have risen to par, or nearly i- par with gold and silver, when specie pay. <-■ merits might he easily resumed. This they e were unwilling to do. They were profiling everyway; try drawing interest on the stuck! n by iliscouining on it ns capital, and by itt ■ continued nsc in the market. It became ne' 9 eessary to compel them to surrender thesr • advantages.-—Two methods presented them selves; one a bankrupt law, and the other a t National Bank. I was opposed to the former, 1 then, us 1 now am—l regarded it pis a harsn : unconstitutional measure—opposed to ihe 1 rights ul the Stales. If they have not sur i rendered ihe rights to incorporate bunks, as is t conceded, Us exercise cannot he controlled by . l ie Government, which has no power, hut i what is expressly grunted, and n authority i to control the slates in the exercise of their 1 reserved powers. It remained lo resort to a I National Bank, us the means of compulsion, it proved effectual. Specie payments were ■ restored, hut even with (Ins striking advan i tage, it was followed by great pressure in 1818, Tl) mid ’2O, us all who are old enough to remember that period must recollect. Such in fact, most ever ho the consequence of re sumption, when forced under the most fuvora ■ hie circumstances; and such accordingly it proved even in England with all hor resour ces, and with all Ihu caution she used m res toring a specie circulation, after the I jog sus pension of J 707. VVT;ai then, would ho its effects in the present condition of the coun try, when the Government is a creditor, in stead ot a debtor, where there uio so many newly created hunks without established cie dit; when tho over issues are to great; mid when so large u portion of the debtors are not in u condition to bo coerced ! As great as is the tide ofihsister which is passing over the laud, it would bq us nothing to lollow were a National Bulk to he established uo tin.- means of coercing specie payments. 1 am hound to speak without reserve on tins inipoitupl point. My opinion then is that, il it should h ■ determined to compel the re-.ora tion of specie payments by .i.e . _j.n;y ol hanks, there is hut one way, Lai io . li. •. insuperable objections; i mean the ~d v l:> - of lue Pennsylvania bunk of the U .s an ,~e fiscal agent of the government, it is .oivutly in operation, and sustained by great resources and powerful connexions, hoili at home and abroad. Through Us agency specie pay ments might uii.luuhtedly he restored, u,nl that with far less disaster than through u newly created hank : hut not without suvero pressure. I cannot, however, vote fur sueli u measure; I cannot agree to give a preference, and such advantages to a hank ot one ol tne members of tins confederacy, ov- r that ot others—a haul; dependent upon the will ui a slate, and subject lo Its iiillue.tiee and control, 1 cannot consent to* confer such favors on the stockholders, many of w hom, if rumor is to ha trusted, are fireigu c ipitiilnts and with out claim on the bounty of the govornme'iii. Bulpt all those, and many other objections wore overcome, there is sell one 1 cannot sur mount. There has been, as we ulljtnoiv, a conflict between one of the departments of the gov ernment and that institution, in which, in my op-moii, the ilcparlmohl was ihe assailant; hut 1 cannot consent, alter what has occurred, 1 to give to the hank a triumph over tho gov ernment, lor such its adoption as the fiscal ' agent of Hie government would necessarily te considered. It won.d degrade the govern- ' moiit in ilie eyes ot our o-l.zoiis uuu of the world, ami go far to make Hint bunk the gov ernment itself. But if ull I hose difficulties wore overcome, there are others, to mu, wholly iusurtnountu- | hie. 1 belong tu the Idlulo Bights Turly, which at all times, from the boginning of tho government to tins day, has boon opposed to ■ such an institution, as unconstitutional, mux- 1 pediont, and dangerous. Thev have ever j dreaded the union of tho political and monied t power; and the central uciiou of the govern ment to which it so strongly toads; ami at all j times have strenuously resisted their junction. | Time and experience have confirmed the truth , of their principles; and this above all other < periods is the nun at which it would be most 1 dangerous tu denari from them. Aether on lit “ | them, 1 h ive never given my countenance or support to u National Bank, hut under a com pulsion which 1 felt to he imperious, and nev- t or without an open declaration of my opinion 1 as unfavorable lo a bunk. In supporting the bank oITBIO,I openly de clared that us a question do novo, I would be c decidedly against I lie bank, and would bo the last to give it my support. 1 also stated that in supporting the bank then, 1 yielded to the necessi'y of the ease, growing out of the then I existing and long established connexion be tween the Government and ihe bulking sys- t tom. 1 look the ground oven at that early po- c nod, that so long us the connexion existed; so long as tbe government received and paid away bank notes, as money, they wore bound lo regulate tbeir value, ami had no alternative hut the establishment of a National Bank, J u found Ihe connexion inexistence ami estab lished before my time, and over which I could ( have no control. I yielded to tho noeessily in order lo correct the disordered stale of the 'J currency, which had fallen exclusively under the control of the Slates. 1 yielded to what h I could not reverse, just as any member of the Senate now would, who might believe that J Louisiana was unconstitutionally admitted in to tho Union, but who would, nevertheless, 2 feel compelled to vote to extend the laws to that Stale, us one of its members, on the ground that iis admission was an act, whether constitutional or unconstitutional, which he ( could hot reverse. a In 1834 I acted in conformity to tho same J’ principle, in proposing the renewal of the y for a short period. My object, k as expressly avowed, was louse the bam: tu break the connexion between the Government and tho hanking system gradually in order lo avert the catastrophe which has now ho fallen us, and which 1 then cleariy percciv- ' ed. But the connexion, winch I believed to he irreversible in 18Ti, has now been broken by operation ot law. It is now an open ques lion. Ifoeln yeelf free for tho first to , „ choose my course on this important sii'm-, r and, in opposing a bank, I act in , m ft»rm ’ 1 to principles which I have enp named e . - since I have fully investigated tho subject. j But tny opposition to a reunion with the banks is not confined to objections limited to a National or State hanks. It goes bevond ' and comprehends ethers of u more general i nature relating to the currency wlnch to me 1 are decisive. lam of impre-sion nut the con- 1 nexlon has a most pernicious influence over 1 bank currency; iliai it tends to disturb ihatsia blity & uniformity of value which is essential r —-ti?" 1 *"■ »«■ l)ri!
