any further remarks, but as gcndumeit werc|la

I] stances Uuder which these troops were raised, lie
’ j thought he would act them right. He knew of
i Ihu circumstances. They were not raised fur the
’ j proteclion of the Cherokee Counties. There
warn three companies in the Urigudu from the
I county ho had the honor lo represent. One
r company had been mised to p olocl that county,
and belonged to a regiment which had been raised
by order of Gov. Behley, hut not a man had ever
been culled out. When it was known the regi
-1 ment was not wanted, that company had been dts
' handed. Alicrwards tiensral Nelson made a call,
and m three weeks die whole brigade was ready
1 lo march. Gov. Hchicy had nothing lo do wtlh
it. Gentleman say they are willing lo nppropn
- ale money to lake them back, and in die next
I breath say die appropnalion is unconstitutional.
Ho did not understand this. If the Senate would
appropriate money lo lake diem back, ho thought
I - the Senate could appropriate money lo carry
them on Ihcir march to Florida. In die docu
ments read before the Senate, he found (iov.
■ Schley did give his consent lor Gol. Nelson to
go to Florida. He did not dunk he had the ngh

on th* conduct ol the Troops 10 angry terms, but
upon its being explained to him, ho had m.sun

CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
I ’ AIWIVIA.
Tlturaclny Evening,Nov. 30«
Shortly anterior lotho recent election for Gov
ernor of this State, the Southern Recorder and
1 Georgia Journal both expressed a conviction lhat
in consequence of the witholding of the last in
, stalment of the Surplus Revenue duo to the Stale
the Contra! Hank would he unable lo complete
the distribulion lo the counties, which had just
been commenced by that institution. Dr. Fort,
lb* President of llio Dank, fearing that such an
impression among the people would operate un
favorably to tbe election of his friend and patron
Gov. Schley, in the counties which had nol yet
received ibeir distributive portion, professed lo be
very indignant, and declared through a letter to
the public, published in the Standard ol Union,
that Ibe Hank was able, and Would carry out tbe
distribution, without the aid of Ihe remaining in
stalment of the'Stir,plus Ravenue. In order lo do
this the Hank was compelled to borrow *230,000
ol some of other Hanks of the State, for w hich it
pays interest at the rate of seven per cent. This
amount however not being sufficient, the Hank
line been compelled lo resort again to the same
expedient and for that purpose the sanction of the
Legislature is sought,authorizing the Directors of
that Institution lo borrow $ 100,000 more. The
resolution to that olfecijhas passed the Senate and
is now before the House for consideration. The
Stale has thus become a borrower of funds at 7
per cent; which it loans out <0 its citizens at 8
per cent; and ti e boasted ability of the Bank to
carry out tbe distribution without Ihe last instal
ment of the Surplus Revenue, consists merely in
its ability to borrow money money upon the cred.
it of the Slate.
The first question which presents itself for our
consideration is, whether the Directors of the
Bank have any legal authority under its charter
to borrow money ! If they can lawfully borrow
one thousand dollars, they may lawfully borrow
one hundred millions ! If they can pledge Ihe
1 faith df tho Slate for 230,000 dollars, they may
under the »7 m 0 sulllori, y » ,ld P ower pledge »
for an amount sufficieu.' 10 bind all ,he P ro P rr, . v
and people of the State, and exei.J* 0 * mortgage
upon them and all that they possess to seed' 6 I,s ’
repayment! The Central Banki- the property o:
the State—nay, it is the Treasury of the State
itself in tbe shape of a bank of discount and de
posiu; the faith of the Slate is pledged for the re
demption of every bill which il issues, and it is
authorized to issue its own hills only la Ihe a
mount of its actual fimdt on hand, cither in
specie or the notei of solvent banks. The bills
of a bank when issued, become debts duo by the
bank—and if the Directors of the Central Bank
had no legal authority under its charter lo issue
their town notes for the $230,000, for want of the
funds to predicate that issue upon, we ask what
j right have they lo create any other description
of debt against the bank to tbit extent? Can they
thus evade Ihe charter and involve the Stale lo an
indefinite and unlimited amount at their own dis
cretion! But il is said that the debt thus incur
red by borrowing this money is lo be discharged
in bills ol exchange, ala fulureday! These bills
may be dishonored whom they are presented, or
j those upon whom they arc drawn may hava fail
j ed, and the Central Bank will thus he subjected,
; either aa drawer or first endorser, to damages for
non-payment, and in addition lo this the holder
of the bills will, cither in the event of non-accep.
Unce oi non-payment have as perfect & complete
a rightto demand payment,of them from the Bank
in specie as he would to demand it for the bills of
the Bank itself. In every view which we can take
! of this mailer, we look upon this act of the Di
rector# of that Bank, as a most unwarrantable
assumption of authority and dangerous to the
rights of the people in the extrema. If they can
thus pledge the faith in the Smie and bind it for
the payment of whatever sums they choose to bor
row upon iucredit,for whateverpurpoaea, tho mo
n»V power of the State is elloclually in Ibeir hand
-the people become the ►laves oflhcir will.and are
subject lobe taxed loan unlimited extent lo raise
the means lo discharge w’mever debts they may
Choose to create! Nay .they may just a* rightfully
b orow money lobudd rail roads and dig canals so,

out for the convenient* of the people! p or ,, ,i lpr

SIR. —We invite your attention lo the rail road
line,for northern and southern travellers,! (trough
the state of Virginia. The completion ol the Rich
mond and Fredericksburg rail road, and the highly
successful operation of that and tho Petersburg
rail road during the pa.t summer, has rendered this
an economical, certain and agreeable route.
Such a connection exists belweon the lines on
these rail roads, and th, llallifax, Wilmington and
Charleston steamboat line, ibat this route to tho
north,and particularly lo Washington city, has ad
vantages ol a marked kind over all others.
Arriving at llallifax in a little more than two days
after leaving Charleston, you may lake your seat
the next morning to Gary’s Depot, at the junction
of the Petersburg, and the Portsmouth and Roan
oke rail roads. By taking the cars for Petersburg at
this point, you arrive there tho same afternoon and in
Richmond at an early hour next morning. Leaving
Rijhmoiid immediately, you breakliist in Fredericks
burg, and ,wiih but nine miles stage travelling, ar
rive in Washington by steamboat the same aitor
noon.
An advantageous connection also exists between
the lines of these rail roads and the llallifax. W it
minglonand Charleston Steamboat Line. Arriving
at llallifax in little more than two days after leaving
Charleston The passenger may take his se«t the
next morning lo Gary’s depot, at the junction of
the Petersburg and the Portsmouth and Roanoke
rail road Hy taking the cars for Petersburg at this
point, he arrives there the same afternoon, and pro
ceeds northward as ‘bdibre.
The distance of tao hundred miles from the
Roanoake to Washington, is thus comfortably pass
ed in 21 houa The fare is sll.
Passengers for the north can proceed lo Balti
more ihe same evening they arrive in Washington,
and reach Now York the next evening.
The steamboat -navigation on this rou'o is closed
for a shorter time in winter than on any route lu tho
north, and is sometimes uninterr pled for ilic whole
season.
The route is equally advantageous to tho travelling
from north lo south. The rail road cars on a large
portion ol the route are w armed with stoves, and ev
ery attention is paid lo the comfort and safety of
passengers, aad particularly ladies.
Should you or your (heads trnvil on our line,
we feel confident that you will bopleasel with it.
