FIRE!
Between two and three o’clock on Sunday
tnorning, our citizens were alarmed by the cry of
fire, and it was soon ascertained to proceed from
a one story wooden house, in the upper part of
Ellis street, directly in the rear of the warehouse
of Messrs. Stovall, Simmons & Co., occupied by
sundry females of ill fame, which was in a short
lime burnt to the ground, together with the kitch
en, without doing further damage to the surround
ing buildings. We did not learn how the fire
originated.— Constitutionalist of Monday.
THE LATE FIRE IN NEW YORK.
’“The losses hy the late conflagration at New
York, (says the National Intelligencer of the sth

estimates heretofore made of them. A commit

accurately examined the amount of the losses
thus sustained, and reported that the whole num
ber of buildings destroyed was 527, exclusive of
the Merchants’ Exchange and South Dutch
Church; and that the estimated amount of loss
is 17,115,092 dullais.

VAN BUREN SLANDER.
The Union and Van Buren men, in this Stale
and elsewhere, still keep up their vile slanders
against the Nullificrs, in attempts to associate
them, in various ways, with the Abolitionists at
the North. It wmnt do, however; the people
cannot be so easily deceived on this subject; and
lime must shew them, beyond all doubt, sooner
or later, who arc their true friends, and who have
labored to deceive and delude them. The Nulli
ficrs have nothing to fear on this subject, let their
opponents rave as they may. A little time will
set this matter completely right, and do justice to
all, according to their deserts ; and we arc very
much mistaken if those who so industriously
slander the Nullificrs for their efiorts to inform
the people correctly on this subject, do not then
find their slanders to fall like coals of lire on
their own heads. Already these slanders have
j reached the floor of Congress, and been properly
i met there, as will be sceii by the following indig
nant reply ot Col. Pickens of South Carolina,
to one of Mr. Van Burcu’s supple tools, of “pe
,- j fish credit” memory. It was naturally to be cx
c ■ peeled that one capable of making so false and
s | infamous an assault, was equally so of submitting
;in silence, (as did Mr. Beardsley,) to so severe
I and scorching a reproof;
' | “ Mr. P. said he would now confine himself to
4 , reply to certain remarks that had fallen from the
‘ ! gentlemen from New York (Mr. Beardsley.)
l > | He understood that gentleman to say, that certain
“ j fanatics of the South, as well as of the North,
l > j were interested together in agitating and discus
-1 j sing these topics. Mr. P. said, if that gentleman
" ; meant hy this to insinuate that those with whom
lie (Mr. P.) acted, were moved in these discus
> sions hy any sinister motives for party effect, ho
I j would throw hack the insinuation with scorn and
j contempt. He had understood before that the
I same insinuations had conic from a higher quarter
1 , than from the gentleman from New York; and he
J ; (Mr. Pickens) would take the present opporluni
: ty, standing in his place before this country, to
1 . pronounce them a base, foul, and infamous ca
‘ I lumny ; and those who uttered them knew them t
1 j be such at the tfnio they made them. Mr. Pirk
j ens said, true, we do not avoid discussion, because
|wo believe wc have been wronged. Ho had the
r | honor, in part, to represent a free and gallant peo
• [ pie; they had no fears, and asked no favors, on
[ | any questions that might he raised here, conncc
i j ted with these subjects; and he stood pledged,
, i whenever the whole subject shall he properly
brought before this House, to vindicate their insti
■ Unions from the falsehoods and vile slanders that
, had been thrown over them before the world. Mr.
P. desired an opportunity to expose the miserable
ignorance and reckless fanaticism that was abroad;
i these were the motives that had actuated his col
league (Mr. Hammond) in the course he had ta
ken—they were none other than the highest and
most honorable patriotism.”
j SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGI
CAL JOURNAL.
We earnestly recommend to the attention of
j the public, the Prospectus, in our advertising
j columns, for the publication, in this city, of a
highly desirable work, to be entitled Tar, Sour
ed n Meiiicat. and Surgical Journal. The
value am] importance of such a work to the gener
al character and improvement of the South, needs
no illustration; and wo trust, therefore, that it
will be promptly aided by the patronage, not only
of the medical gentlemen generally throughout
our section, but all others who take a just and
generous interest in Southern character, and every
j enterprise which contemplates the improvement
l of it. The work is to ho edited by Dr. Paul F.
. j Eve, Professor of Surgery in the Medical Col
lege of Georgia—a gentleman of liberal educa
tion, and most assiduous and unwearied devotion
td liis profession, who, in the early course of his
laborious studies, spent some time in the first pro
j fessionul institutions in Europe—in those of
Paris, during the Moody three days of the Rcvo-
I lution—and also in the Polish Army, during its
! sanguinary career—and was honored in both, hy
i highly flattering testimonials of his abilities and
j valuable services—and during his Professorship
; in the Medical College (which is greatly indebted
| to him, not only for its success, but its existence,
also,) he has been eminently successful, both in
his Lectures, and in his operations, several of
which latter were highly critical and dangerous.
. They who are acquainted witli Dr. Eve’s estima
ble character, cannot doubt that ho is actuated in
, this now enterprise, solely by a desire to elevate
the general character and usefulness of his pro
fession, in this State and the entire South; and
we sincerely hope that ho will be sustained hy
both in a manner worthy of their people, and of
the admirable and noble object in view;

FOR THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
'I uc editor of the Constitutionalist denies ho
■ ingtho “champion” of the Bank of Augusta. 1
, commend him lor his prudence. I presume that
. it was more consistent with his feelings to follow
■ the lead which was given hy the gentlemen of
that institution, and whether his remarks were
: not under the almost exclusive control of one of
i these gentlemen, I leave it to the community to
judge. His articles concerning the increase of
i the Banking Capital of the State, as well as the
: one about “Savannah and Augusta,"have a strong
( squinting towards the exclusive interest of the
Bank of Augusta. However, he may believe
like the party in question, that there cannot he
found in the State, any set of men so well quail
' fied to manage the Banking capilal, and the cur
rency, ns the gentlemen who control that institu
tion, and whose complaints are now so loud, in
condemning the last Legislature, as well as the
“Chatham Delegation.” These patriots asked for
the extension of their monopoly, under the spe
cious guise of advancing the piospcrily of this
city, as well as the State; and when the Legisla
ture denied theffi their prayer, they exclaimed at
the corners of our streets “that they hoped Ihe trade
would all go to Charleston This is in keep
ing with their other acts. They doubtless thought,
from the high sounding style of thcii application,
that their privileges would he extended to meet
their wants, so that they would fill their pockets
at the expense of the many. Well may the
worthy editor now decline being their “champion,”
for he will find, if he has not already made the
discovery, that in sucli a cause, no laurels call be
gained.
He admits “that he knows little of the institu
tion,” and this is evidence to me that he only
echoed the voice of the Junta in his editorials:
for, with his acknowledged goodness of heart, (in
which I heartily (foncut) wore he acquainted with
their twistings and windings, their petty cabals,
their secret intrigues, and their high-handod and
dictatorial nieasures, I cannot for a moment be
lieve, that lie would have said much in their favor,
bidden or unhidden, as the case may have been.
His course certainly has lessened “the good opini
on of his paper,” with not a few of the “good
portion of the community.” He should have
some little feeling fur the merchants who have
supported him so liberally, and I will take occa
sion to tell him, that it his wishes had been com
plied with, the merchants generally, would not
have thanked him for his regards, as any increase
of the privileges of this institution, would have
been just us much taken from the rights of the
community at large; and the merchants had
rather exercise their own rights, than yield any of
them up to this despotism in miniature.
I have never asked this institution for favors, as
the editor supposes; nor have I “charged it with
squandering its funds on parasites;" hut I did say,
and I repeat it, that in the course of its operations
‘•it has made large and unwarrantable loans to
individuals,and parasites,” to the serious injury
of the merchants generally, whose interest it
would become the editor to support, instead ol
large and odious monopolies.
The Editor also assures us “that he cannot
break through the rule which lie Ims universally
adhered (o, not to notice idle and silly communi
cations ;” but the reasons he has given for the
exception, in this instance, may be equally ns
“silly” as the article which he has replied to. He
says “when Veto borrows a more dignified pen,
lie may condescend to reply in form.” I will
observe that “Veto” does not write with a “bor
rowed” pen, neither does he echo the opinions ol
others. This charge of “borrowing” comes with
an ill grace from the editor of tile Constitution
alist ; and possibly ho judges others hy himself.
At any rate, I recommend to his attention Ihe
old adage—“those who live in glass houses, should
never throw stones.” VETO.
FOII TUB AUfeUSTA CHRONICLE:
BANKS.
Head and Reflect.
The groat error committed hy many, is in sup
posing that Bank Notes, are money. Now Bank
Notes arc neither money,nor the representatives of
money. They arc only evidences of debt, duo
hy the banks to the holders of these credits, and
of themselves have no intrinsic value. The
Banking system having driven both Silver and
Gold, as well as individual credit, front general
circulation, the custom now is for individuals to
make what is called a strong Mole, which they
give to the Banks in exchange for their Notes,
f not for money J ; and for this exchange of cre
dits—say, for the term of one year—the Banks
take from the pockets of the individuals thus ex
changing credits with them, some seventy or
eighty dollars for every thousand dollars of cred
its so exchanged. So much for legislating away
your natural rights.
I have said that Bank Notes are only eviden
ces of debt and of themselves have no intrinsic :
value. Now, if the holders of these Notes could j
establish them hy a record, as land deeds are cs-!
tahlishcd, they might gather together all lire Bank
Notes in the country and make a bonfire of them,
and the country would not lie one cent the poor
er for it —there being no wealth in them, and
they being only evidences of debts due hy the'.
Hanks, arising out of an exchange of credits I
with individuals. Houses ami land, silver and 1
gold, with the vaiious descriptions of mer-:
chandize, remaining, every thing that constitute
tire wealth of a nation, would remain. Nrfth
-1 ing hut paper would be destroyed, and that which
is intrinsically of no more value to a nation than
• blank paper.
’ Perhaps there is no subject, so little understood
by the great mass til mankind, as that of thepre
-1 sent mode of Banking ; certain it is, there is no
2 subject which is more deserving the attention of
I the American people ; and it is high time that
H every well-wisher of this Republic shouhl inform
himself thoroughly on Ihe, subject, and lend a
* helping hand to save himself and his country
from ruin. Allow this system to go on, gathcr
i- iug strength day by day, and night by night, and
1 the years will he few in number, before the yco
t manry, who are now the mighty of our Rcpub
-0 lie, will be but as the serfs of Russia.
'f 44 Before Ihe establishment of Banks in the in
-0 j tcrior, the farmer who possessed credit and char
’* j actor, experienced little difficulty in borrow ing on
0 | his simple bond, for one or more years, any sum
which it was thought could bo prudently loaned
e to him. Emliarrassmeiiti aud failures, in
ff those days, were scarcely known among our hus
e handrnen, and society moved on by a regular,
! sure, and happy march. In our cities, on the
2 contrary, where loans have been chiefly made hy
‘ | incorporated Banks, wo have seen a continued
succession of bankruptcies; and had it not been
' for the practice so universally prevalent amongst
1 merchants, of securing Ihe Hanks for the sake
0 of the endorsers, Hanking long since would have
r been abandoned as ati Unprofitable trade."
44 From Hie adoption Os Hie Federal Constitu
tion in 1788, down to 1804, Banks were un
known in Virginia, with the exception of a
Branch of tho old United States Bank, at Nor
folk, about 1799 or 1800. Tho paper of this
Bank scarcely found its way into the interior of
’ the country : and it may lie truly said, tho ctir
-1 rency of the country was melalic. Until the
year 1798, no people enjoyed more happiness or
* prosperity than the people of the United Slates;
\ nor did any country ever flourish more within
the space of time. The desk of every agricultu
rist in Virginia had some gold Or silver lb spare,
if he was a prudent, industrious man ; or he had
something like money to spare in the hands of his
merchant, who, in the days of which lam speak
ing; acted as a Banker to his prospering custom
ers. Nor was interest paid upon such monies ns
might be deposited in the hands of his merchant:
1 because both planter and merchant considered
’ themselves accommodated hy the arrangement:
I the planter, in having his money safely kept for
him, until he wanted louse it,and the merchant,
1 in having tho use of the money until it was call
' °d for. Under such circumstances none will
doubt the happy condition of both planter and
met chant; and if the view be somewhat extend
ed, it will bo found that this stale of prosperi
ty was not confined to one or two classes of so
ciety, but extended to all. The man embarrass
ed might readily sell something, and to advan
-1 la S°) to pay his debts. The currency of the
country being specie, was widely scattered thro’
l! the land, and in diversified hands, so that its con
- centralion at any particular point was impossi-
I ble, and consequently its removal fiom tho couu
-1 try could not happed to any great extent.
“ I know there arc many, who, in order to ef
fect present objects, insist that commerce could
not be carried on without the aid of Banks. To
this I answer, how was commerce carried on be
fore w» had Banks 1 Will any body deny there
was any commerce in this country at that time 1
None will be found hardy enough to lake this
J ground, for every intelligent man of forty years,
must know that, before there were any Banks in
Virginia, the foreign commerce of the country
was greater than it has over been since, and the
country fur more prosperous. Nor whs there the
least inconvenience in transmittidg money from
one point to another through the merchants,
whose credit, then, was as good aa tho credit of
the Banks riow, if not better. Banks have de-
I stroyed the credit and confidence which men had
in one another,
I 44 No people had more cause to rejoice than the
i people of Virginia ; but, alas, tho Banks came,
, and all things became changed. Like the Upas
. tree, they have withered and destroyed the health
■ ful condition of the country, and indicted on the
| people political and pecuniary diseases of the
most deadly character;”

Cotton. —The demand for this article during
the first four days of tho week was very anima
ted; eight thousand bales having been sold at an
advance of fully *c on nil grades from middling
to good fair, and half a cent on good and line
qualities. On Thursday nnd Friday little was
done, owing pc Imps as much to the stock on side
being very sUrall, occasioned by the still low slate
of our Rivers, ns to the advance in rates which
are now demanded, and which holders are linn in
maintaining. Fine Cottons are scarcely to be
hod at aify price.—whilst infer!of arc abundant
and entirely neglected. lii conformity with trans
actions we regulate our quotations. Arrived this

New Orleans Market, Jan. 2.
Cotton. —Arrived since the 25th Ultimo, 11,-
727 hales; Cleared in the same time 0443 bales :
making an addition to stock of 5284 bales, nnd
leaving on hand inclusive of all on shipboard not
cleared on the 31st ultimo, stork of 72,026 bales.
'The heavy sales of last week kuving relieved the
market of n large portion of the stork that had
commenced accumulating, nnd the quantity arri
ving since being light, holders began to acquire
more confidence, and. contrary to every c\pccta
tion, prices immediately to advance, and
1. have continued to do so until they have regained
nearly, it not fully, tho same position they occu
c l‘‘ e d previous to tlie demand spoken of in our
I® 9 *- The principal operations have been for
r> France, and it is owing to this circumstance alone,
’ if at all, that wo are able to account in any man
ncr f° r so great and speedy an improvement, as
. wo are not in possession of any Inter advice*
o’ from Europe. Buyers for the English market,
.. instantly withdrew from making further purchases
, the moment that prices took tin Upward tendency ;
1. “td whether the present stale of favorable tilings
e can be maintained, after the individuals who are
now operating have supplied themselves, is, wc
think, rather questionable. As heretofore, when (lift
e Cotton was wanted for the French market, Ihe
inquiry extends only to the finer qualities. Wo
~ estimate the sales at about 12,000 hales, and no
tice them separately as follows, viz: of Louisiana
and Mississippi 113 hales at 11} cents; 600, 17;

. Sugar. —Tlie market appears to lie very much
as wo last reported it, rather inactive; but die
planters, and their agents in tlie city, arc firm in
their demands, relying on the shortness of the
’ crop. Tho majority of tho soles in town are from
9} a 9} cents; on plantation several sales have
p been made ns high ns 9} cents. Cleared this
week, for New York, 2 hlids. 2 bids., Apalachico

. Liverpool Market, Nov. 23.
Up to tlie 19th instant inclusive, wc had a fair
steady demand from dealers and consumers, ami
■ some speculation, and rather an extensive busin »s
wits done, producing a further improvement of }d
peril), in prices. Oh the 18lh instant, Account*
were received from New York to 251 h ult. (a
■ fortnight inter titan before) and since then we
liave dates frdih theilce down to 3d instant and
. notwithstanding tlie statements of injury from
frost, &c. in particular districts, tlie Accounts of
tlie coming eiop arc on the whole deemed deci -
dedly more favorable than before, and seem to
have produced « pretty general impression here
that it will prove a Very aiiimdmlt ope. Tlie do
■ mnnd in consequence became languid on tlie 19lli
instant, and tho market has since been heavy,
, with less firmness on (ho part of holders, and an
evident desire to realize, even at rather lower
' prices, so that we consider this last improvement
, of }d per lb. is lost, or nearly so, and that our
present rates are. little bettor than on tho 7lh in
r slant, ami for common qualities they arc quite
J ns low; Fitie qualities still maintain a relatively
high price, ami 20 bales of prime new Upland
sold to-day at 11} per lh„ arising from tlie tem
porary scarcity of that description. The sales
• for the week ending 13th instant, were 24,260
, hnlbs, and for tile one eliding 20lli inst. they
f amounted to 25,410 bales—of the latter, 8,820
s were Upland, at 7 n 10}, with 26 at 11 a 11} ;
- 6 880 Oilcans nl 7} a 11}; 3.280 Alulmina mid
Mobile at 7} a II per 111. On Saturday, 2lsl
i inst. lire business was only about 1200 bales, and
to-day about 2500 bales have been sold. Tho
import into Liverpool since Ist January, amounts
to 886,000 bales, against 782,00!) bales, to same
period last year—the increase from tire U. Stales
is 25,000 bales. The stock in this port is oslimAt
eJ at 197,000 bales, against 122,000 at same pe
riod last year. The slock of American is about
120,000, being, an increase of 28,000 hales.
Nov. 21.—Yesterday about 2,500 hales of
Colton sold with rather d drooping mArkbij 21l
hales of very fine new Uplands brought 11 }d. but
from lire present appearance wc doubt miicli if
that price could be got lot tile catgoes riow ar
rived.
Although from some of our advices, up to the
2d inst, from America, wc might ho inclined to
estimate the crops at 13,000,000, and certainly
hardly 1,350,000 hales, yet we observe that this
market is influenced hy the expectation of 1,350,-
000 at least, and witli the probability of 1,400,-
000 hides, and so far from speculation of advance
since the arrival of the Pocket of tllb Ist Nov.
prices arc drooping, uml more cotton offered than
before. Unless the next Packet, therefore, shor
tens tlie crop to 1,300,000, or under, wo may see
farther declines in did Uottoiis. As for how,
prices arc too high to lust long.
“The niaikct cannot remain as high as now—
it is very flat, and more likely to drop }d for iow
old Cottons than rise.”
Nov. 24. Colton. —There lias been a good
inquiry for Cotton from tile trade, and towards
the middle of the week, rather higher prices were
obtained ; but as tlie quantity subsequently olier
cd was more than sufficient for tlie demand, the
market lias elosed heavily, particularly for com
mon American, without maintaining lire improve
ment, The sales comprise 882(1 Bowed 7 to
il}d; 3290 Mobile, Alabama and Tennessee, at
7 to 12d; 0829 N. Orleans 7 to 11} ; together,
26,490 hales, of which 1550 American have hern
taken hy speculators, ami 400 American, for
shipment. Pile market is flat, and prices of ail i
descriptions are from } to }d per lb. lower than
on Friday. Tlie sales on Satuiday and to-day !
arc 4000 bales.
Nov. 25.—Tlie present is merely to odvisc yon
of our Colton market being extremely dull to-day
with an evident tendency to go down considera
bly i so pray act cautiously—op no account should
your prices rule over 12 a 12} for fully good fair;
and lower, say fair in proportion, if on those terms,
goon shipping regularly pet week.
Nov, 25.—We consider Bd. per lb, for Liver-1
pool fair Colton of the new crop, quite high ;
enough to give, for the prospect of this market.

I‘itosrtuVTis
OF a Medical Journal, to be publishcd|at Au
gusta, Georgia, and to be called, THE
SOUTHERN MEUICAL AND SURGICAL’
JOURNAL. To be edited by Paul F. Eti, M.
D„ Professor of Surgery in the Medical College
of Georgia,
I he object of this journal is chiefly In condense
useful practical information, as it may be derived
from domestic and foreign sources, and to present
it at once, locountry, as well as city practitioners;
of the healing art. It is designed to supply a
desideratum in the South, and remedy the defect
how experienced by the delay, expense, trouble,,
and frequent disappointment in tlio reception of
quarterly publications. It will be strictly a prac
lical work—composed of short articles, original
and selected, of interesting facts and intclligenco
connected with the profession, and while its col
umns will be opened to all professional subjects,
long theoretical disquisitions will not be admitted.
The pamphlet form in which this journal will
be issued, will be recommend it particularly to
country practitioners. Its easy transportation, tho
small expense of receiving it by mail, and it*
convenient size, will offcf advantages to many
who are now unable to keep pace with tho daily
advancement of the profession.
The necessity of this publication may be in
ferred from the fact, that it will be the only jour
nal of medicine. South of Philadelphia and East
of Lexington ; from the medical schools now iti
successful operation in this section of flic coun
try, mid from (he number of talented writers wo
have amongst us, who arc compelled to resort to
northern periodicals for the promulgation of their
views and facts. What vast fields for the botanist
—what rich mines lor the initicriflogist, are hero
unexplored ! Who can calculate the useful and
important facts now lost to tho profession, for tho
want of a convenient home publication ? What
emulation may not a well conducted journal ex
cite in the study of the dieeneee peculiar la our
awn climate ? We want the details of Southern
experience in medicince. We liclicvo too tho
time* arc propitious for throwing off our entiro
dependence on others in the arts and sciences.
We arc prepared to examine for ourselves, to
think for d'Jrselvps, and it is our duty to practice
to operate ourselves.
The Editor has little Ip say or promise ot him
self, He has endeavored to supply by opportu
nity what ho feels he lucks in age and experience.
Hut he does not slam! alone in this entorprize.
| Besides being sustained the first year in his ex
i poriment by the Faculty of the College of which
. lie is a member, a large numlior of Professors and
1 of tho most respected and talented at his profts
-1 ssional brethren in the Southern and Western
I States arc engaged to support this journal. Ori
l ginal communications of important professional
facts arc earnestly solicited, and will always claimi
priority. We respectfully invite all physician*
and students pf medicine to co-operate with usjin
this undertaking—(ho establishment of a South
ern Medical and Surgical Journal, whose object
is the effusion of correct information,* and tlie pro
motion of the best interests of the profession.
The Southern Medical and Surgical Journal
will he published under three beads, viz;—K j
Origins! Communications, 2. Selected articles,
entire or abridged. 3. Varielio>\ including
reviews, medical intelligence, mmficaledj^elllni;
&c. It will bo issued
prt the Ist ami 16th of every month. Each num
ber will contain thirty-two (32) pages octavo, anti
be enveloped in pamphlet form. The fust num
ber may be expected in April next, (1836).
Tkb.ms.—Five Dollars annually, payable ort
tho reception of the fifth nurnltcri All commu
nications will he addressed to the Editor, at Au
gusta, Georgia, and must lie post-paid.
All editors of newspapers favorable to the sci
ence of medicine, who. will publish tho above
prospectus, and secure the payment of five sub
scribers to tho work, shall be entitled to a copy
gratuitously. The Editor will also ho thankful
for a notice of the contemplated journal in any
of the periodicals of the day, and respectfully so
licit- exchange with the publications coimectctl
with the profession.
