ATHENS, GEORGIA.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16,' 1842.
ALT Out; acknowledgements are due to Mr. Clay
ton, of our delegation in the Legislature, for his
kindness in forwarding several valuable public doc
uments. Among them are the Bank Reports, the
Annual Report of the Comptroller General, the Re

“The Magnolia.”
The number for December concludes the first
volume of the new series, and is accompanied with
a tide page and index, and a handsome engraving
of the city of Charleston, one hundred years ago,
by an artist of that city. More of these embellish
ments may be looked for hereafter. The present
number contains some very interesting articles,
which we have not time to particularizo. The edit
orial department, especially, is well sustained
This has been a peculiar characteristic of the work
since it fell into the hands of the present editor, and
will no doubt largely contribute to give it charac
ter and permanency. '
Congressional Election.
Gov. McDonald has issued his Proclamation, for
an election on Monday, the 2d of January next, for
a Representative in Congress to supply the vacan
cy occasioned by the decease of the lion. R. W.
Habersham.
Bank, the undersigned deems it his duty .to state,
that of the sum of live thousand one. hundred and
sixty-five dollars ol the bills of the Ocmulgee Bank,
reported by the Directors in their annual report,
three thousand one hundred and sixty-five dollars
of it were deposited during the past summer by His
Excellency the Governor, who then drew from the
Central Bank its bills of like amount; that it was
stated by the Cashier that tills amount of # the ()(^
mulgce Bank bills could not be used for the pur-;
chase of exchange, or in payment of the interest an
the public debt, it-being on special deposit*;. It
further, appears, that since*lhis depositc, the Cen
tral Bank, though regarding these bills as equiya~
lent to specie, has been a purchaser in the market
of suitable funds wherewith to discharge the liabil
ities of the State. This sum is now an asset of tha'
Bank, its character Laving been changed from a
special, into a general deposite..’’ *
The people should know if this be as represented.
They should know what authority the bank bas for’
receiving a deposite which they cannot use, when
it has given out its own bills as an equivalent—and
when, how and why that deposite was changed from
special' to general. We are persuaded that the
parties implicated will at once make such explana
tion or denial as shall set the matter in its proper
light. But let the truth, and the whole truth, be
known. If any one has erred or done wrong, let
proper reparation be made, or the just odium which
attaches to wrong doing be visited upon him.

President’s Message.
This document is exceedingly well written—it is
brief, comprehensive, and to the point; and its
views generally, if not supported by the Democrat
ic party, will not le denounced bv them. Upon
the subject of the treaty with Great Britain, altho’
some of our friends seem disjxiscd to find fault, we
feel every reason to be satisfied. The Message de
tails some of the advantages to be derived from it,
and of course defends it, we think justly. We are
glad the Maine question is settled, and that, too, in
a manner satisfactory to the people of that State ;
and we do not see the propriety of rejecting a set
tlement of one question, because some others can
not be arranged at the same time.
The President’s views on the Tariff do not quite
come up to the free trade standard, though we should
Bank and Distribution.
The Whig minority of the committee on the state I
of the Republic, in our present Legislature, append
to a late report the following resolution: :
Resolved, Tint in our opinion, a majority of the
people of this. State, are decidedly in favor of the
utility and expediency of a National Bank, compter-,
ed with any other system of finance proposed to tii4
country, as well as a distribution of the proceeds of
the sales of the public lands among thp States ser~
erally, “ egpitably,” and “ without partiality."
Arc these measures to be considered hereafter

considered a resolution of censure against the
Whig Members of Congress, all of whom from this
State, if we mistake not, voted against distribution ?

THE MADISONIAN.-- '•
TO OVB FUEESDS.
W E are making arrangements (the particulars
will be announced at the opening of tho
Session) which will, we think, secure the Madiso
nian a more universal circulation.. Our incessant '
labors for the last twelve months have impaired ■'
our health, and rendered occasional relaxation ab
solutely necessary. We have therefore secured
the services of one of the best writers of the day,
who, as assistant editor, will devote his whole
time to the paper.
We have secured correspondents in many of tfie’
States, whose letters will keep our readers con
stantly advised of the political movements through
out the Union. *
We will give daily £ condensed report of the
proceedings of both Houses of Congress ; and the '
most important speeches will be published at length
in our columns.
The official transactions of the Government will
be published in the Madisonian exclusively.
The views and purposes of the Executive, in
reference to the coarse and policy of the Adminis
tration, will, as heretofore, be made known through
the columns of this paper.
The Principles of the Madisonian are known to
be those of the Republican Party of ’98.. They
will be adhered to through sfmshine and storm. . "
We ask our friends, who are tke advocates of
Truth and Justice, to exert themselves in behalf of
the Madisonian, between this and the assembling of
Congress, so that the organ of the Administration
may not only be efficient in repelling attacks, but in
carrying, when necessary, the war into Africa.

i.i Pittsburgh, has been appointed Roman Catholic
Hishop of Charleston, in place of Bishop England,

Important from China.—It appears that a largo
pcr'.ion of the wealthy and influential inhabitants of
this island are exceedingly indignant with the
•S.nnish Government for allowing the British to in-
terfere with their social systems of government,
si.we trade, negroes, &c. and that a majority of tho
white people of Cuba are in favor of throwing off
their allegiance to the Spanish government, and de-
i huing themselves free and independent. This
movement, if it takes place, will be attended with
serious consequences to the peace of this country,
as well as Great Britain.—N. Y. Herald.
Death of a Member of Congress.—The Bal-

previous.
Singular Accident.—It is slated in the New

Water pipes in Canal street, burst on the 30ih ult.
and tore up the ground and pavement for thirty feet,
and nearly filled three cellars full of water. The
noise was as loud as the explosion of a cannon.

The committee appear to have examined minnute-

what bad. They estimate as bad, a little more than
one third of the notes discounted; and one half the

This deficit will be lessened by the constantly
accumulating interest on the notes and bills dis
counter] ; but unless the estimate of the committee
is too low, there will be something ultimately tobc
made up by the State. The tax, however, we trust
will not V>e so severe as to frighten our good Whig
friends from their propriety, especially as they have
done their share towards involving us in the diffi
culty.
The dcvelopements show conclusively that the
concern ought *o be wound up; and wo are glad
to see that the committee have unanimously report
ed a bill for that purpose, which we have copied
into another column. The Legislature will be re
creantto the interests confided to its care, if it (ail
to pass this bill, or some one of a similar character,
into a law. , *
Mr. Crawford, a member of the committee, pro
pared a supplemental report, which is appended to
that of the committee. It appears to be rather an
ill-natured production, but it makes some state
ments-which,.if true, furnish ground for suspicion
as to the integrity of the management of the banki
and which, in any case, require explanation. We

so widely extended, as to justify tho hope and be
lief that it will long continue to be one of the prin
cipal organs of Southern Political .Interests, and
one* of the chief ornaments of Southern Literature.
T he brilliant character of the late Southern Review
she'd around Charleston arid the South, a halo
which will not' soon be forgotten;'the Southern
Quarterly has -risen, after many toilsome efforts,
from its ashes, and it is tfus'ed that it,'will prove it- *
self a p worthy suecessot of the.glory of the former.
Nothing more is now requisite to ensure its per
manence than the continued and cordial support of ’
the inhabitants ol the Southern portions of tho
Union; and an appeal is confidently, made to the
generous and patriotic feelings-of ail Southerners,
not to suffer the present Review to languish from
the want of that sustenance, which Ihev can so well
afford. ‘ • - . • " '
In its political character this Review will be
Democratic, and while‘avoiding, earofully schisms
merely local in their nature, it will strenuously up^
hold Southern Interests, and advocate all questions
of'national importance with boldness and freedom.
It is not intended, however, nbsoluieiy to exolude
all articles maintaining principles different from our
own ; but if otherwise worthy of admission, they'" *
will be inserted with a notice that the editors do
not hold themselves responsible for the. doctrines
alleged. A11.religious discussions, of a sectarian
nature, will be sedulously eschewed, and the Re- ,
view will preserve a perfect impartiality towards
alt religious denominations.
Tho work will be printed bn the best paper, and
with the best type, and every exertion will be made
to render it worthy of the patronage of the public •
generally. It w ill be issued quarterly from Charles
ton, in January, April, July aptf October ;’ahd ar- *
rangements haVe been made, since its removal to
this city, to insure the regular and punctual delive
ry ol every number as it appears, so that no disap-,
pointment may hereafter arise front any failure in •
this respect. • •
Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the work,
the Subscriber, in order that more time and atten
tion may be devoted to its improvement, ahd to the
accuracy and excellence of each number, Has asso
ciated with himself, in the Editorial management
of the Review, that distinguished scholar, G .. Fred
erick Holmes. Esq. of Orangeburg, and every ef
fort will be mdde on the part of both to give every
satisfaction to its patrons. • *.
In consequence of the removal of the Southern
Quarterly Review to Charleston, And the reduction
in the expenses of printing and publishing attendant. ■
thereon, the price of the work will henceforward be • " ;
reduced from'Ton Dollars to Five dollars, payable
annually in advance. 1 The fifth number, which i
will commence another'year, will-appear early in ■
January, 1843, for which abundant, materials have,
been already procured. Many of the best writers
and mestsprofuund scholars of the country have a).'
ready pledged themgelves to furnish articles for tho
ensuing year, and the list of contributors is daily ’..
increasingin talent, in respectability and in number.
