FOR THE SOUTHERN DANNER.
Messrs. Editors,—I was clad to notice in
your pupur same time since, Proposals issued
[>y Mr. James VV. Price, for tho pohlicntion
of it religious Paper in Wonrno, Georgia, to he
entitled the Southern Baptist Register. Such
an undertaking is like all others of a similar
nature, dependant upon the people at largo for
support; and it is therefore at their disposal
to say. whether this undertaking shall be ac
complished, or suffered to sink for tho want
of encouragement. As this is the cusc, I am
incited from a deep sense of its importance,
to recommend to those, who feel themselves
able, this enterprise as an object worthy their
patronage. It is unnecessary for me to enu
merate the many disadvantages we labour un
der from not having a speody means of com
municating general religious knowledge. It
is well known that in this section of our coun
try, many of our citizens nro ignorant (for the
want of means) of tho religious condition of
this Stale. There is now no public medium
of this kind existing bel ween the upper and
lower pnris of ourcounlry; tho knowledge de
rived from either must be through n privalo
source, and thnrefore limited. This paper,
while it presents to its readers in a particular
manner tho actual condition ol religion ai
home, will not leuve unnoticed its progress
abroad, and tho efforts made to enlighten n
heathen world. By lending aid to an enter
prise so laudable,wo shall not only he indirect
ly the means of disseminating useful knowl
edge, hut also of giving a-sislanee to one
who deserves our cnoourugement, by the
praise wort V spirit which urges him to the
accomplishment of this desirable end.

Communication.
Communicated from Chs. Cotes. Principal of
the Classical Academy, Charleston.
A T a period when improvements have been made in
almost every other branch of education, we have
had still to regret the very alow progress made in the
art of Penmanship, and the little use that the pupil
could make in aft#*r life, of all that in this branch he
had acquired at school. In Europe this has been in a
great measure obviated by the introduction of the sys
tem of Carstair’s; and in this country a neatly similar
system has been lately introduced with the greatest
success, by Mr. Carpentier, a gentleman who has been
for the last three months in this city, instructing in Pen
manship and Practical Book Keeping. In the former
he has been for some time attending to a class in my
community are disposed to indulge in reflections unfa
vorable to my character as an upright man, and to at
tach to me some b'ame for the unfortunate, and to me
unexpected failure of that Institution—The churges
against me so far as I have heaid them, are
1st. That I have spoken favourably of the solvency
of the Bank, and have thereby given a currency to its
paper which it might not otherwise have obtained.
2d. That I resigned my appointment of President
secretly, thereby continuing to the Bank the influence
of my name after I had withdrawn from it.
I will take up these charges in their order, and meet
them in a manner which will satisfy every candid, and
unprejudiced mind of the purity of my motives, and
honesty of rny conduct. In the first place, before 1
consented to become an officer of the institution, when
applied to for that purpose, I was assured that several
of the most responsible merchants of Macon, had con
tracted for the purchase of one thousand shares of the
stock of the Bank, and that the balance was owned by
Dr. Robert Collins, Robert Coleman, John Martin, and
J. Stone & Co. of Savannah—Kerr Boyce, Henry W.
Conner & Co. and Patterson and Magwood of Charles
ton. Having a personal knowledge of the pecuniary
circumstances of most of the Gentlemen represented
as the proprietors of the stock, and having been in
formed by two of the Gentlemen who had agreed to
become purchasers of the stock in Macon, that from
some examination into the affairs of the Bank, they
found it so far as that examination went, in a sound
condition, I did not hesitate to accept the appointment
of President. A short time after 1 entered upon the du
ties of the office, the Cashier made an exhibit (o me of
the state of the Bank, which proved it to be solvent and
amply able to meet all paper in circulation. In addi
tion to this the favorable report of the Legislature upon
the state of the institution, always made out as I sup
posed upon oath by the officers—completely satisfied
me that the Bank of Macon stood upon a solid baris—
In the month of February, Dr. Collins informed me he
had sold his interest in the slock to Mr. Ellis and his
friends in New York. I at once supposed that Mr.
Ellis’s friends in New York would prefer his presiding
over the Bank, and spoke of resigning—but as I very
soon learned that Mr. Ellis did not wish me to resign,
{continued to servo as 1 had previously done, without
having any change produced in my mind as to the sol-
vency of tho Bank. During the whole of the time I
served the institution as President, every demand made
upon it was promptly met, and the Bank continued to
meet so far as I know, every demand after my resigna
tion, up to the time I left this place for New York.—
From these circumstances I had no right to speak
otherwise than well of the condition of the bank. Af
ter my resignation, and after setting out for New York,
I tola my partners that I thought every confidence
might be placed in the credit of the Bank, and that it
was safe to hold its bills—I gave the same information
to ono of my brothers in business in this place, and to
another in Eatonton—these persons might he presum
ed to be the Inst that I would deceive, if 1 could be
supposed to be governed by two of the strongest pas-
sionsof the human heart, self-interest and the ties of na
tural affection. As additional evidence of my implicit
faith in tue soundnesss of the institution, I will re
mark, that since the 1st day of December 1831, and
the 24th July 183*2, (eight months,) my Bank Book
shows that I deposited in the Bunk of Macon for the
concern of which I am a member, in cash and good
paper for collection, the sum of three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and that it was not unfrequentiy the
case that from ten to twenty thousand dollars, were to
tho credit of our House in the Bank, from six days to
two and three weeks at a time. These deposited were
not only continued after my resignation, but I reques
ted Mr.*Laird H. Wiley, in whose charge our business
was left before I started to New York, to continue to
make all our depositee there—Mr. Wiley’s certificate
will prove this. These facts will I hope satisfy an im
partial public that if! spoke favourably of the solvency
of the Bank, I spoke nothing but my honest opinion,
and if I have misled others, 1 was myself deceived.
This brings me to the second charge, that 1 secretly
resigned my appointment as President. On the last
day of June it becamo indispensihly necessary for ino*
to go to the country on business; on that dm I made
out my resignation—on the 1st day of July previous to
leaving Town for tho country, where I was detained
about eight days, 1 handed the letter with my resig
nation to Mr. Leroy M. Wiley,—told him what it con
tained, and requested him to hand it to the Bank,
which he done on the 2d day of July witl as much pub
licity as such things are usually done—I made no se
cret of it; it is true, I did not pu.iliah it, but when spo
ken to in relation to it, I always stated I had resigned;
there was no concealment about it. In a conversation
with Docl. Clopton nine or ten days previous to my
starting to New York, I told him I had resigned—I
met with Mr. Washburn in the street before I left, who
tuid m» he had heard it, and asked me if it w as so ; I
told him it was. The certificates of these Gentlemen
will enable the public to judge whethersecrecy was en
joined— or not. The reason for rny resigning when I
did, was not induced by any distrust of the ability of
the Bank to meet its issues without loss to tho holders
of its bills, but in compliance with a compact with my
partners, by which I wus to attend to that Branch of
the business previously attended to by Leroy M. Wi
ley, to wit: the purchase of goods, and the time had
arrived when it was necessary for me to start to New
York, in order to be prepared for the business of the
approaching season. 1 left Macon when I did for this
purpose alone. If I had believed the Bank was in a
failing condition, and had resigned from a motive of
this sort, then it would have become my duty both to
myself and the country, to have made public not only
my resignation, but the causes of it, but being influen
ced by no such motive, and having confidence in the
credit of the institution, I could not see the necessity
of publishing my resignation. It was my intention on
my return from New York, to have submitted to the
public a complete expose from the Books of the Bank,
and sought the earliest opportunity to do so, but was
denied the privilege of doing so, and the reason sis-ign-
rd by the proprietor was, that “after its fai.urc, the
Bank was under the necessity of refusing access to its
Books from prudential motives alone, os such an ex
pose it was feared would throw difficulty in its way,
and prevent the collection of its debts.” I am prepar
ed to anticipate all the blame that will fall upon me
when a complete developcment is made, and this I do
admit—ills remisneas; for this I shall always feel the
deepest regret; and particularly if it shall turn out
when a disclosure is made, that a fraud has been prac
ticed upon the public. Conscious myself of having
been governed by the most upright motives, both to
wards the Bank, and the public, during my connection
with the institution, and desirous ofmaintainingliefore
the community, the character of an honest citizen, I
submit this statement, and the certificates of Gentle
men accompanying it. Wliut verdict the public may
award 1 cannot say, but be that os it may, I am sensi
ble that I have incurred no moral, or equitable responsi
bility—and I have the consolation of feeling (hat I have
throughout, acted with none other than the purest of
motives. So long as I live I shall be found at roy post,
and ready to answer to any tribunal of my country—I
am prepared to shew that the email property of which
I am possessed, is nothing more than the honest fruit
of unceasing toil and labour, for the last ten years of
my life,—I owe just debts, and should it become neces
sary for me to dispose of any part of mv property to
meet them promptly, I shall do it, and ray honor is
pledged never to place the balance beyond the reach of
justice and equity.

After its failure, the Bank was under the necessity
of refusing access to its Rooks, from Prudential mo
tives alone, as such an expose, it was feared, would
throw difficulties in its way and prevent the collection
of its debts.
Macon, Sept. 11(4, 1832.
I resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of Ma
con about the 15tli of February last, and R. W. Fort
Esq. had acted as President of that institution for se
veral months previous to that time. Front my situa
tion I had a good opportunity of judging of his official
acts, and I have no hesitancy in saying, that in all his
transactions with the Bank, he seemed to be actuated
by the purest and most honorable motives; and 1
know of nothing that ought to render hint obnoxious
to public censure. 1 believe hint to he a correct and
upright officer, and during that time, the affairs of the
Bank were in a safe, solvent, and good condition.

I do further state, that R. W. Fort never did to the
best of my knowledge, have a note, draft, or any other
paper discounted at the Bank.

Macon, Sept. 14,1332.
hereby certify, that in a conversation held with
Robt W. Fort, about the middle of July, after his re
turn from tho up-country, he spoke of his resignation
as President of the Bank of Macon, without any appar
ent design of concealment, and then gave it as his
opinion that the Bank would go on well with its busi
ness, and that there was no injunction of secrecy.

I certify that I became a member of the firm of Bax
ter, F<»rt, and IViJey, on the first day of July last, and
that Robert W. Fort did. after resigning his appoint
ment as President of the Bank of Macon, and before
he left Macon for New York, request me to continue to
inako all our deposites.bollt cash and paper for collec
tion, in the Bank of Mucon—and that our House con
tinued to take the Notes of the Bank of Macon until its
failure. L. H. WILEY.
Macon, Sept. 14, 1832.
I hereby certify, that on or about the 12th of July
last, and directly after his return from the up-country,
where he had been on business, Robert W. Fort, spoke
of his resignation oh President of the Bank of 1 aeon,
without any apparent design of concealment; I then
asked his opinion of tho Bunk, lie told me it was his
opinion the Bank was good, and it was perfectly safo
to hold the Bills. There was no seciecy enjoined on
me not to mention the resignation.
WILLIAM FORT.
I do hereby certify, that when Mr. Robert W. Fort,
mssed through Milledgeville, on his way to New York,
‘ enquired of him, whether we should continuoour de-
liosites with the Mucon Bank ? His reply was “ Yes,
lor I conceive it to be entirely safe.**
I also certify, that an advertisement put in tho Ma
con Telegraph, that “Baxter, Fort fit Wiley, would
receive Macon Bills for goods, nt 25 cents in the dol
lar,” was without his knowledge or consent; he was
then absent from the Stale, and I hud not received a
letter from him, up to that time.
THOS. W. BAXTER.
Macon, Sept 14th, 1832.
I do certify, that I was appointed Book-keeper for
the Bank of Macon in the month of February last, and
held that nppointment until its failure. Mr. Fort had
acted as President of the Bank, for about four months
previous to this time; it was his habit to call at the
Bunk every morning, but, from the presaure of his own
business, never remained long at the Bank—he uni
formly manifested a deep interest in the institution,
and on ull occasions, an entire belief in its solvency—a
plain and conclusive evidence to mo of his sincerity,
was the large deposit kept almost constantly in the
Bank, uinonnting frequently to Twenty Thousand
Dollars, and remuining for weeks untouched. To tho
last day of Mr. Fort’s stoy here; previous to his de
parture for New York, this confidence appeared umiba-
t*d; I nevar saw anything in his manner, nor was
there any thing in his remarks, that betrayed in tho
slightest degree, a doubt of the solvency of the Bank.
His only culpability in all that I have observed, and all
that will, on a full developcment of the affair of the
Bank, fall upon him, consists in not more fully examin
ing its condition, and keeping a register of all that was
done. Of his integrity and honor, I have no doubt,
his wlioleconduct there was so eminently distinguished
for rectitude and < xuct honesty, that I think his name
should forever be above reproach so fur as relates to the
Bank. J. L. JONES.

HOLD AND LAND MAD
or the
County of Cherokee.
I H AVE now in the hands of the Engraver, which
n ill be completed by the first of November next,
a general and accurate Map of Cherokee country,
drawn from the returns of tho District Surveyora.—
Owing to the great number of Lots into which the
County has been divided, paticulsrly the Gold Region,
and the large dimension of the sheet it will require, to
have all those numbers distinctly and accurately laid
down, I have thought it advisable to form the Map into
separate and detached Sections, which I designed as
Gold Map and Land Map.
All Iho Land Districts in tlm Territory are laid down
on one sheet,and constitutes distinct and separate Mtp
by themselves.
Thedistricls reserved and surveyed ts Gold Districts,
are divided into three sheets of Maps. Districts No 1,
2, 3, 4, 5,11, 12,13, 14, and IS, of Ihe First Section,
form the first Map.
Districts No. 1,2,3, 14, 15, 16. 17, 16, 19, 20,21,
and 22 of the Second Suction, form the ercond Map.
Districts No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18 19, 20. 21, and 22, of
the Third Section, artd Districts,No. 1,2, 3,16,and 17,of
the Fourth section, form tho Third Mop. On these
maps will be found each District in the Territory, with
every square Lot of Land and fraction distinctly laid
down and uumbured—nil Mountains, Rivers, Creeks,
Branches, Ferries, ftc. are corroctly and faithfully de
lineated.
The Map will bo handsomely engraved, printed on
si tong silk paper, colored and pul up in uiotoccu cases
at the following prices, viz:
Land Map,' J5 00
Gold Maps J3 30 each or for three, $10 00
For Gold and Land Maps, comprising ths
whole Territory, SIS 00
Persons desirous of obtaining this valuable Map will
de well to infotm the publisher soon, os bul a limited
number can bo obtained during the drawing of the Lot
tery.
All communications addressed to the subscriber in
Milledgeville, Ga. (postvgo paid of course) will meet

PROPOSALS
For publishing in Uio Town of Milledgeville, Georgia,
[During the ensuing Session oflhe Legislature,)
A DAILY NEWSPAPER, TO BE CALLED
Tlie Journal
Of the proceedings of the legislature of Georgia,
AND
History ofthc Times,
BY III. D. J. SLADE,
oOIacon, (iico.
“ Lege totum, tci vis scire totum—Read nil, if
you would know all.”
T HE people of Georgia are much in want of a me
dium of intelligence which will promptly transmit
to them the “ Fruceedinus” of their Legislature. VVe
are not only generally, but individually concerned lu
all acts of legislation, because these acts involve per
sonal as well as political rights, between which there
exists a most intimate connexion. It is the interest
then, of every man in Ihe community to be timely Ac
quainted with tlie action of our representatives upon
these rights. This is a desideratum—to supply which
the Journal is intended. At the present we labor under
much inconvenience for tho want of it. For near, And
sometimes more than three mouths after the expiratiou
ofthc Session, the Laws of the State, with a few excep
tions, are as a “ sealed Book” to tho great mass of the
people ; and frequently, such aro the injurious effects
produced by this delay, that men have been known,
who, in obedience to a preceding, have actually viola
ted a subsequent law which hud hecn reversed or modi
fied—not knowing that a new had been substituted
for an old law.
In addition to the entire proceedings of the Legislature,
the Journal and History, will contain the general in*
telligencA of the day, and its interest will be increased
by faithful reports of the transactions of the important
Redress Convention of Georgia, which contemplates
sitting in Milledgeville, the ensuing session. The De
bates in the Convention, as well as those in the Lcgis*
lature, will bo regularly and correctly reported; for
which purpose arrangements are making with acapa*
ble ana experienced Stenographer.
The Journal and History op tup. Tihei, will bo
published daily, and the Legislative and Conventional
Proceedings of each day laid in extenso before the pub*
lie on the subsequent morning, and immediately trans
mitted to any part of the State to which the paper may
be ordered.
The large and interesting mass of information which
this Publication will contain, und the great expense
which must he incurred to carry it into operation, will
require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the
editor flatters himself will bo extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and
important utility of such a publication to members of
the Legislature, in enabling thorn to ascertain immedi
ately the precise state of any measure in winch they
are interested,and to keep their constituents advised of
the progress of public business, without the abstraction
of time and attention from their special duties, expen
ded in letter writing.
Terms—The Journal and History oflhe Times will be
published daily with a now type, by machinery, to be
expressly procured for the purposo and on good paper,
and will be put to gubscrihop at the prico of Five
Dollars per session, payuble on the reception of the
fitst number.
tCT 2 * Those to whom subscription lists will he sent,
are respectfully asked to lend their exertion and influ
ence to tho undertaking, and to make a return of
any subscribers which maybe obtained, by the 10(4
of October. They are particular!) requested to do in,
that the Editor may bo enabled to make the proper ar
rangement*, and to furnish promptly the first numbers
to each subscriber.
Will continue to publish the Macon Advertiser, as
heretofore; and asnires his patrons and the public
that so far from the interference or conflict oflhe above
publication with the interest and management of the
Advertiser, that he designs and believes that the for*
mer will greatly improve the latter. The Advertiser
shalhsck for none of that attention, which the editor
flatters himself has entitled it to the kind and cheering
patronage which has been so liberally extended to it*
The Advertiser w ill continue to be published week*
ly in the summer and tn-weekly in the winter, at the
price of Five Dollars per aumim, payable in advance,
August 27, 1832.
Land and Gold Region Lists of the drawing.
In addition to the Legislative and Conventional Procee
dings, the JOURNAL will contain Official Reports of the
Drawing of the Land and Gold lottery Regions, which
will commence, it is presumed about the commencement
of the sitting of the I egistalure. Should the Lottery,how
ever, have commenced its drawing previous to that period,
such days as may have drawn, witl also be published, so
that individuals interested will have entire Lists from be
ginning to end.
icp'Tho/rafrntR, arc respectfully asked to publish
tlie above, which, as her.ln/lir«, will be reciprocated;
and to each piper a copy ol lhe Journal will bo regu
larly and uratuituusly sent.
