Temperance Convention.
We omitted to notice that the Temperance Con
vention held on the 10th inst. in this place, was ad
journed over until to-morrow, to be held in the Meth
odist Church, commencing at 10 o’clock A. M.—
Those who attended the last meeting, were highly
interested in listening to the various addresses de
livered ; and they are anxious that their fellow citi-
that this amount of the Ocmulgee bank bills could
not ho used for the purchase of exchange, or in
payment of interest on the public debt, it being on
special deposit. It.further appears, that since this
deposit, the Central Bank, though regarding these
bills as equivalent to specie, has been a purchaser
in the market of suitable funds wherewith to dis
charge the liabilities of the state,” &c.
This statement, however enigmatical it appeared
to us, seemed to implicate the Governor in a blara-
able transaction : but as we did not wish to cen
sure without sufficient proof, we did not notice the
charge when we published that supplemental re
port. As we are now enabled to explain the. mat
ter, we do take notice of it. A gentleman of this
place, who had read that statement, has stated to us,
that the Governor, last summer, while endeavoring
„ i,i , ■ . • i .i • .i i i to purchase exchange to pav for ihe iron purchased
zens should participate with them in the pleasure ; jn ft ew Ywk> attempted lo use the $3163 of Oc-

Georgia Rail Road—Athens Branch.
We know of no better way to comply with the
request of the writer of the following note, than to
copy the note itself, which v.-e take pleasure in an
nexing.
Dear Sir:—The rail road to Athens, has now
been in operation a year, and in that time there
have been no serious accidents ; nor has ihc train
been delayed an hour later than its lime, with the
exception of one case, when the machinery gave
out. The reduction of height on Cotton and Ba
con in order to induce owners to send down per
rail road, and the safety attendant on transportation
and travel, call for the patronage of the public.—■
Could you not give it an editorial notice, and say
per cent premium; on Charleston and Savannah
par a $ discount. Central Banks Bills are heavy
-at 35 a 10 per cent, discount. No change in other
depreciated hills.
Freights.—The river is in fine order, and the
rates to Savannah are reduced to 50 cts. per bale.
To Charleston there is no change.—Chronicle <5r
Sentinel. ^
Peck & Dealing’s Exchange Office, i
AroCTTA, Ga., Dec. 5ted. 1842. )
the bills .were then much discredited in Augusta,
and could not be used except at a heavy discount.
The Governor states in his message, that “ through
the kind and efficient agenc y of the President of the
Georgia Rail Road,” he was enabled to get the ex
change needed, without any sacrifice to the state
whatever, on a pledge of Central Dank hills, as a
collateral security.- The same gentleman informs
us, that the Governor afterwards stated to him, that
he had deposited those Ocmulgee bills in the Cen
tral Bank, and drew the same amount in Central
Bank bills, which he used as part of the deposit
made in Augusta as collateral security.
From the above facts it appears very evident,
that so lar from being answerable, the Governor has
been actuated by the laudable motive of saving any
sacrifice to the state. A desire which he has con
stantly manifested in the troublesome task of finan
ciering upon’thc irredeemable paper of the Central
Bank. That those bills should have remained in
the Central Bank, within 25 miles of Macon, for
seven or eight months, when that hank was most
of the time making sacrifices to meet the credit of
the state, is qertainly rather extraordinary, and we
hope will furnish one more striking faetto illustrate
the wasteful and negligent system of state banking.
We doubt whether the officers or directors of the
Central Bank had any recollection of the amount
of Ocmulgee hank bills being in their vault, till
called out by the committee.
We are gratified to add that the bill to amend the
charter of the Central Bank, (virtually to wind up
the institution.) a synopsis of which appears under
our legislative head, has passed both houses.—
Should it receive the sanction of the Governor, as
we doubt not it will, we shall copy the law entire
next week. We should have preferred the bill re
ported by the committee of the House, but we have

Importunt Movement.
We observe that the‘South Carolina rail road
company, are taking stops to facilitate transporta
tion and reduce its expenses, upon and contiguous
to their road. A preamble and resolutions passed
at a recent meeting of the company on this subject,
of which the following are a part:
“Anil whereas despatch and cheapness, when
combined with safety, will always command a
preference in the transportation ol trade and travel;
and whereas, our road is about to encounter a
strong competition lor the transportation of trade
avcl for a great portion of tire South and
-west, w hich is ot vital importance to Charles-
d to the profits of our road—and w hereas the
expenses created on our route by reason of
lull confidence that the one which has passed, as it -
w.11 cause a rapid reduction of the circulation of Monroe R R & BTg c * Macon,
the Bank, will do much towards bringing it to a - -
specie standard.
sum:waiiy.
South Carolina.—The legislature of that state
have elected the lion. Daniel E. Huger, to the
Senate of the foiled States, to fill the place of Mr.
Calhoun, alter the 4th of March next. This is an
appointment which honors both the slate and Mr.
linger.
Virginia.—On the 13th inst. the Legislature of
that state elected James McDowell, of Rockbridge,
Governor. The joint vote was: whole number of
votes 160, necessary to a choice 81. Mr. McDow
ell rcrcivc-l 110, scattering. 50. Mr. McDowell
was therefore declared duly elected Governor of
Virginia for three years, from the 1st of January
next
Death of Governor Stokes.—The Arkansas
intelligencer of the 11th ult. mentions the death of
Ex-Governor Mont fort Stokes, of North Carolina,
lie die I at Fort Gibson, Arkansas, on the 4th ult.
in the 82d year of bis age. He bad filled many
important offices, and at the time of bis death was
Indian Agent (or the Cherokces.
America and China.—It appears by letters from
(.’union, the Celestials desire no trouble with A mer-
iea. Commodore Kearney of the U. S ship Con
stellation. has obtained indemnity for the losses
sustained by Americans in the attack on Canton.
The amount claimed was $7,800, but the Chinese
have paid $10,000, besides a present of $2000 in
teas, &c.—all of which has been placed in the
hands of the U. S. Consul at Macao.—A’. Y. Herald.
Successor to Bishop England.—It is annouti
ceil that the Rev. Dr. O’Connor, pastor of the
Church of St. Paul’s in Pittsburg, has been appoin
ted Roman Catholic Bishop of Charleston in place
of Bishop England, deceased.
The Indians.—The St. Augustine News of the
16th inst. says, it is with much pleasure tve learn
that there is a prospect of our difficulties with the
Indians being finally ended. They are daily com
ing into the settlements around Tampa and the
neighboring posts, and express a willingness to etn
igrate, being very friendly ivith the whites. We
hope (Sen. Worth may succeed in shipping them to
the West.
John Quincy Adams at home.—The following
is the vote polled for members of Congress in the
town of Quincy, the residence of Mr. Adams.—
Ezra Wilkinson (Democrat) 289; John Quincy
Adams 285 ; scattering 19.
A petition is in circulation in New York, asking
that the thousand dollars sent to Sheriff Hart, to in
duce him not to hang Colt, be divided between the
widow of Adams and Colt’s child. It could not be
better appropriated.
I,ong and Deep.—The tunnel on the line of the
Sheffield and Manchester Railway, will be 3 miles
in length, upwards of 600 feet below the surface or
summit of the hill ai its greatest height, and in
rock formation throughout its entire length.
•s amounts to as much as the cost of trans
porting the articles bver the whole line of our road
and whereas, cotton and other produce is there
by prevented from coining to our market, by which
its trade and commerce is injured while freights are
driven from our road and turned to and by other
routes. Be it therefore
Resolved. That the board of Directors be and
they are hereby authorized and instructed to take
such measures, consistent with a true, prudent and.
judicious economy, as will counteract or remove
these impediments to a free trade and intercourse,
and at the same time encourage travel and the
transactions of commerce on our road.
Resolved, That the President and Directors be
also instructed to apply to the legislature for the
grant of such rights as the State can confer, for
building, owning and keeping bridges across Sa
vannah River, at and contiguous to Hamburg.*’
This is an important movement, and one which
should have the support of the people, at least of
the up-country of Georgia. Our own e.\|>erience
corroborates the statement in the above extract—in
some cases more than half the expense of bringing
goods from New-York to Athens, is charged by the
commission merchants of Augusta and Charleston.
It is obvious to every one that by uniting the rail
roads, and adopting a different plan at Charleston,
these charges might be saved, and the expenses of
transporting goods materially reduced. This would
add to the business of the roads, for with reduction
of price consumption would increase, and of course
the companies would be benefited, in comirn-n with
those who have cotton or other produce to send to
market or goods to purchase. We hope the sub
ject Avill be further agitated, and that the heavy tax
which all pay who send away produce or receive
goods, at the points where re-shipments arc re
quired, will ere long be removed, or at least become
less onerous.
FOR THE SOUTHERN BANNER.
Mr. Editor :—The growing importance of our
town, in a commercial paint of view, wiU coiWltlCft
the most casual observer, that greater improvements
in the way of commodious stores, will soon be neces
sary. The stores are now all pretty well occupied,
and if persons were disposed to build new stores,
the ground cannot be obtained unless the trustees
or prudential committee will sell building lots on
the South side of Broad Street, extending from a
point opposite Dr. Bacon’s Drug Store to a point
opposite Mrs. Thomas's old Store House. Here
might be laid out and sold six or eight lots very
suitable for stores, and which 1 have no hesitation
m saying would command good prices. This
would by no means injure the College or any other
public buildings, but would,very much improve the
appearance of the town. I hope the President and
Trustees will take this matter in hand and act up
on it at once, for sooner or later it must be done.

Ccutral Bank Reports.
When we noticed last week the report of the
committee of the House upon the Central Bank,
which we publish to-day, we supposed it was unan
imous. We have since learned that Mr. Gray, a
member of that committee, has made another report
much more favorable to that institution. In the

Should Mr. Gray be correct in his estimates, the
Bank will be more than able to pay all its liabilities*.
Ia connection with this subject, we arc much
pleased that we have it in our power to give some
explanation of a paragraph in Mr. Crawford’s sup
plementary report, reflecting upon a transaction
which the Governor had with the Bank, and which
shows that Ilis Excellency was endeavoring to
'consult the interest of the State, and that nothing
improper can be attributed to him. We copy the
following statement from the Constitutionalist:
It is stated in this report, “ that of the sum of five
thousand one hundred and sixty five dollars of the
bills of the Ocmulgee Bank, reported by the Direc
tors in their annual report, three thousand one hun
dred and sixty five dollars of it were deposited du
ring the past summer by his Excellency the Gover
nor, who then drew from the Central Bank its bills
of like amount; that it was stated by the Cashier
Consigneespei* Georgia Rail Road.
