AUGUSTA GUARDS.
Col. W. T. Gould was on Thursday last,
elected Captain of the Augusta Guanos, in
place of Capt. W. W. Holt, resigned.
BRIG.GBV. 1. BRIG. 2 DIVISION.
Col. Gvonox W. Summers, of this city, com
manding the 10th Regiment, G. M., was on
Saturday last, the 19th instant, elected, by the
Legislature, Brigadier General of the Ist Bri
gade, 2nd Division, comprising the counties ol
Richmond, Columbia, and Warren, in place of
Gen. A. W. Grier, resigned. It affords us plea'
I sure to say, though a political opponent, that the [
selection is a good one, Gen. Summers being a
zealous, able, and intelligent military officer, who ,
will do credit to this Brigade. -
CITY COUNCIL.
Axduew G. Bull, Esq. was elected a mem
-1 her of the City Council, by that body, at its last
■ regular meeting, in place of Axduew J. Mil
xer, Esq. resigned.
FOSTER’S PUBLICATIONS.
We have received from the indefatigable pub
! lisher, Ma. Tiieodouk Foster of New York,
, through his Agents, Messrs. Rickahiis & Scot,
1 five Nos. of his excellent new work entitled Fos-
I teb’s Cabinet Miscellany, the August Nos.
, of Blackwood’s Magazine, and the Methopo
r litan Magazine, the June No. of the London
1 Quabterly Review, and the July No. of the
f Edinburgh Review ; but, for want of room,
. must defer any further notice of them till our
I next.

AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
1 We place before our readers, the table of con
tents of the November No. of this very neatly
t printed, interesting, and highly valuable period!-
■ cal, which contains, in addition to its usual va
[ ricty of instructive reading matter, an exceeding
ly beautiful portrait of Byron’s “ Gulnabe,”
f drawn by Miss F. Con beaux, and engraved by
Mr. Dick, of New York, from the London print.
’ This work continues its onward course of im
-1 provement, and is richly deserving of a liberal
! patronage.
’ TRENTON, N. J. RACES.
, On the 10th instant, the Purse of SIOOO, four
. mile heats, was won by Mr. John C. Stevens’s
. Fanny Wyatt, beating Gen. Irvine’s Mingo,
Mr. Thompson's Encciro, and Mr. Kendall’s
Campsidcl. Time—lst heat, 7m. 48s.—2d
heat, 7m. 535.
On the same day, the Now York Spirit of the
Times stales that “Gen. Irvine’s Mingo re
ceived forfeit Isom Mr. Tillotson’s Post Boy,
in a match, four mile heats, for $5,000.”
MR. TOWNS’S RESIGNATION.
The Millodgeville Recorder of the 18th instant,
says:—“A Resolution was introduced in the
House of Reprosciitativos, on Wednesday last,
and passed that body, calling on the Governor
for information relativoto the Resignation of Mr.
Towns, to which the Governor yesterday replied,
staling that he had only received a letter from
Mr. Towns inquiring whether he had received a
communication from him, dated Pontitoc, Mi.”
SEMINOLE WAR.
The Tallahassee Floridian, of the 12lh inst.
says; —“ Our latest intelligence from the seat of
war is of a more favorable character—Gen. Read,
alter encountering many difficulties, has succeed
ed in establishing a depot of provisions at Camp
Graham, on the Withlacoochce, two miles above
(he Block House, and about eight below the cove.
Two steamboats arc on the river,by means of which
ample supplies of provisions and forage have been
transported to the very seat of war.—A commu
nication has been opened with Fort Dranc.—The
dill'ercnt divisions of the army were concentra
ting around the strong hold of the enemy.—Gov.
Call writes, that the friendly Indians were active
and useful—and that ho has hopes of bringing
the war to a speedy termination. Our citizens
may congratulate themselves on the favorable as
pect which affairs have recently assumed. On
this day it is expected that the army will ho pre
pared to strike a decisive blow.”
HICKORY JOHN Sc MISS MEDLEY.
As the time approaches (which is tiro Cth of
next month) for the settlement of the question
whether the “ Grey mare is the better Horse,”
upon the issue of which the sum of SIO,OOO will
be staked, it might not be amiss to inform the Sport
ing world that both nags are in fine trim and ea
ger for the fray. It would ho difficult to say which
party is the more sanguine—Miss Medley defeat
ed Hickory John at Macon, previously to that had
beaten Lady Nashville over the same course in
7,45 and 7,44, aftd subsequently to her victory
over Hickory John, has won two four mile races
at Columbus, in fine style—no wonder, then, that
her friends should feci confidence in one that has
never deceived them, when in condition. On
the other hand the friends of Hickory John think
that although he was unfortunate in his career
last winter, that his frequent defeats were owing
to want of condition—Their horse is more ac
climated and in the hands of Mr. Hammond, one
of the most successful Trainers, that we know of—
He it was, that first brought and Bill
Austin into notice, and under his management
Busiris made the best run that he achieved,
which was the greatest effort of that season. For
these and other reasons the friends of Hickory
John are almost if not quite as confident of suc
cess as the friends of Miss Medley. It has been
suggested by the latter that Hickory John would
pay forfeit. They may make themselves easy
on that score, for John’s backers will put up the
whole amount as forfeit on any day that they
may call, if it he tomorrow. We speak “by au
thority.” Nothing, wo arc assured, will prevent
a race, hut the sickness or lameness of one or
the other.— Courier oj Friday.
MILITIA LAWS.
We perceive that a hill to appointan Adjutant
General, and an Assistant Adjutant General, and
j prescribe their duties, has passed the House of
Representatives. This is all very well, of itself;
but the provisions of the bill should have bacn
incorporated in a gen eral law, or code, revising,
i- amending, and consolidating the militia laws of
n the State. Where is the general law or code
e prepared by Messrs. Menai wether, Schley,
i- and Cuthbert, under the appointment of tho
if Governor, by authority of tho Legislature of
if 1833, and laid before the Military Committee of
i- last session 1 Will not that answer the purpose 1
in '■■l. r~~~ — 7 ==—
J If not, amend it, or prepare another one ; hut at
' any rate let us have the entire militia law in one
j body. Wo arc afraid, from the passage, separate
ly, of the abovementioned bill, that this deeply im
portant matter will again be disgracefully neglect
ed, and made to give way to -Yew Bank laws,
and othet selfish, corrupting, and ultimately ruin
ous measures. We hope not, however, and offer
tho following suggestions, for the consideration
of those members who may agree with us :
The different provisions of the general law, or
code, should be arranged under appropriate heads
—such as, Orders—Elections — Parades — Fines
Courts of Inquiry—Courts Martial—Exe
cutions — Exemptions, or Privileges, &c. &c.
The time of assembling for muster or parade,
(now fixed at 11 o’clock, A. M.) should die left to
the discretion of the commanding officers, at
least in Augusta, and other cities similarly situa
ted, whore, (not having, as in the country, a dis
tance to travel,) the men can assemble ns easi
ly at 10,or earlier; and, the afternoon being a
more leisure time with men of business —particu
larly Saturday afternoon—tho Company musters,
at least, should be ordered for such time, and even
the Regimental and Battalion musters, when the
days ate long enough to admit of it.
It should be made the duty of Field officers to
attend at least every other company muster in
their respective Districts, or detail some suitable
person for that purpose, to take command as in
structor, as in the Regular Army. Sec the fol
lowing extracts from Gen. Scott’s “ Infantry
Tactics,” now ussd by tho Army—vol. 1, page
17.—“ Each general officer and colonel will be
responsible to bis next superior, for the general
instruction of his Division, Brigade, or Battalion.
Theliout. colonel and the major will each bo re
sponsible to the colonel, for the instruction of a
wing of the Battalion.”—“ In the School of the
Company, the lieut-colonel and the major, under
the colonel, will be the principal instructors, sub
stituting frequently the captain of the company,
and sometimes one of tire lieutenants—tho substi
tute, as far as practicable, being superintended by
one of the principals.”
The Field Officers should bo authorized to or
der drills, of all the officers and non-commisioncd
officers under their command, as often as they
may deem it necessary to a proper acquaintance
with their duties; and take the command. It
being essential that all should know their respec
tive duties, and necessary to that effect that they
should either learn them themselves, or be author
itatively taught them by others, if they desire to a
void the above duty, let them instruct themselves;
and those who do so properly, should be excused
from such duty, at tho discretion of the command
ing officer.
The Captains should bo authorized to increasa
the present number of company musters, (four,)
to six, if they should deem it necessary ; (and he
required to do so by their superior officers, when
they deem it necessary ;) which will induce those
under their command to pay such attention, at the
four, as to make it unnecessary.
There should be one Regimental muster, (or
Battalion muster in counties containing but one
Battalion,) each year, by order of the Brig. Gen I.;
one by order of the Colonel, (or Major, as above ;)
and one Battalion muster, by order of the Lieut.
Colonel, or Major: as established by the law of
1818.
The 35th section of the general Act of 1818
should be amended, so as to make clear, what
was undoubtedly intended, but is not always so
understood, that the disqualification enacted
should not extend to cases of promotion, or elec
tion to higher offices.
The entire mode of collecting fines should ho
made clear and unquestionable, and the execu
tions levied, in all cases, by a constable of the Dis
trict, (or in Augusta, of the city,) instead of by a
constable or the Provost Martial, as now. If this
be not done, the Provost Martial should bo requir
ed to hand over immediately, to the Paymaster,
the sums collected, instead of within six months,
as at present, by the law of 1831.
The Oaths of Courts of Inquiry, as established
by the law of 1818, and abolished by the law of
1831, should be re-established.
The law of 1831, amending (or rather alter
ing,) by substitutes, the 15th, 22nd, and 24ih sec
tions of the general act of 1818, should be entirely
repealed, not only because it abolishes, impairs,
or renders doubtful and uncertain, several of the
most important features of tho militia law ; but
also, because the glaringly ungranjpiatical, awk
ward, and ambiguous style, in which it is writ
ten, renders it a disgrace to the statute hook. If
this be done, of course the amendments of it,
in tho Act of 1833, should by repealed also. If
nothing else can be done for tho Militia, this ses
sion, of course this may, easily; and] we care
nestly hope it will not he neglected, since it will
do much, very much, for the militia system.
Tho citizens of Richmond county should still,
ashy the law of 1824, be exempt from assem
bling as a Regiment, but subject to the orders of
the Colonel, and to equal duty in Battalions; and j
the local or special provisions, generally, in rela
tion to this city, should he continued.
We shall continue the subject in our next; and
will conclude, for the present, with tho following
excellent remarks from the adopted Report of the
Military committee of tho session of 1833 :
“The Militia law, as it now exists, is so embar
rassed with alterations and amendments, as to re
quire much labor to ascertain what it really is. In
a country like this, whore the chief reliance of the
State, for all military operations, is on tiro great
' body of the citizens, tho military laws should be
1 plain and simple, yet securing, at the same time,
> the most prompt and efficient action in case of
f public alarm or danger. Tire military strength
' of the country docs not consist so much in its
> numerical force, as in the discipline of its troops.
! Frequent exercise is essential to perfect discipline,
f and no duty should be more freely performed by
F a patriotic people, than that which befits them for
I ' the defence of their country.” •
BANKS! BANKS!! BANKS!!!
Notwithstanding tho enormous and most out
rageous increase of Bunks, at the lust session, the
present one is again beset with petitions for nu
merous others, many of which, we presume, un
der the usual corrupt “ log-rolling ” system, will
bo granted. The applications we now recollect,
arc as follows:
By the Darien Bank, for all increase of its capi
tis! from about one million, (which is already
greatly too much,) to two millions ! [See the pro
ceedings of the Board of Directors, in another
column.] How can this iHstilution have the ef
frontery to ask such a thing, after the manner in
in which it has been managed, and the many
alarms and difficulties to which the public have
been subjected, in relation to it. Nothing could
have saved it from destruction, long ago, but tho
very improper intercat which tho State holds in
it, and the manner in which it has been propped
up from time to time, under that pretext, by the
Legislature, and corrupt party influence. This,
however, is only covering the disease, not healing
it; and the longer it is practised tho more corrupt
and deadly will be the wound, ami certain and
distinctive its future death.
By the Insurance and Banking Company, of
Augusta, for an increase of Stock !
By tho Insurance and Trust Company, of
Augusta, for Banking Privileges J
By tho Columbus Insurance Company, fol
Banking Privileges, and an increase of capital I
By the Monroe Hail Road Company, for
Banking Privileges !
To establish a -Yew Bank in the village of
Cassville! “
To establish a New Rank in Brunswick ! and
To renew the charter of tho Planters Bank of
Savannah!
Now there is not one o( these applications, or
any other similar one, however comparatively just
or desirable, that could pass, or would even be
seriously considered, on its own intrinsic merits
alone, unaided by any selfish individual, local or
party influence, or combination. But the friends
of each can command, by some selfish motive or
other, personal, local, or party, a certain number
of voles in the Legislature, and all, or enough to
command a majority of such votes, club together,
and get the members they control to do the same;
and thus, by “ intrigue, bargain, and manage
ment,” votes arc exchanged on each question,
and a majority secured for each. Can a more cor
rupt and vicious system bo coinedved ? And is
it not all done to defraud the people, by these
Licences to Cheat, as such Banks should always
he entitled—and indeed all; for all are founded
upon a system of rank delusion and deception!
If any one doubtor deny this, let him come for
ward and declare it, and wo will make issue with
him before the public—our paper being open to
any one who chooses to do so.
How long will the people suffer themselves to
be bamboozled iu this way 1 How long will
they hold out their hands to be tied by Stock-
Jobbers and Monopolists ? They boast of their
Democracy, and inveigh against Aristocracy,
and yet they create, or permit their Representa
tives to create, the worst of all possible Aristocra
cies ! Can it bo possible that they are capable of
governing themselves, under such circumstan
ces 1 or are they unwilling to perform the task,
and therefore leave it to any who will do it for
them 1

Cotton —Arrived since our last to yesterday

in the same lime, 4569 bales. On shipboard not

bales of the new crop, as follows: 05, 19; 430,!

and 623, 18 cents; 100 bales Singleton's brand,
a superior lot, at prices not transpired ; and 22
. bales of the old crop, from 14 al6 cents. There
is a fair demand for Uplands, but prices have giv
en way a shade since our last report; purchasers
aro not disposed to extend their operation without
i a further reduction in prices. Wo continue our
last quotation, as certain grades of Cotton come
within their limits, only remarking that it re
quires a good lot to command 18} cents. We
regret that it has not become general with the
Planters of Georgia and this Stale to pack their
Cottons in square bales, the difference in price
and demand would fully compensate the expense
of compressing machinery.

, halos. Cleared in the aarne time, 9208;—mak
ing an addition to stock of 15,142, and leaving on ;
hand inclusive of all on ship-board, not cleared on j
' the 10th instant, a stock of 68,374 hales. The
' demand for Cotton continues on an extensive
i scale, including all the varieties of which tho re-
I ccipts aro composed, but at less steady prices than
last weeks transactions. On Saturday the sales
amounted to rising 3000 bales ; prices on, that
day not materially varying from those previously
current, though, on the whole, indicating a rather
downward tendency; on Monday there was a
pause—the market grew heavy, sales only reach
ed to about 1700 bales, and from the little incli
nation shown by purchasers to operate, holders
were made sensible of the necessity of abating
something in their demands, if they wished busi
ness to proceed uninterruptedly, and prevent 100
great a slock from accumulating on their hands
—a circumstance calculated of itself, in nil pro
bability, to bring about a greater reduction than
they were called upon to make. Acting on the
view of tho matter, they gave way, on Tuesday
F morning, from a half to three quarters of a cent,
, and tho result was, that they were enabled to ef
fect sales to the extent of nearly 7000 hales be
fore the day closed ; since then business has pro
ceeded steadily, each days sales being of a respec
table amount; prices have recovered within a
quarter of a cent of what they were at the date of
our last, and our quotations have been regulated
accordingly. The aggregate of the week’s sales

exhibited a goodness of heart, sincerity of affec-

j which made him the sincere friend, and the hon

how soon is the young man fallen: death has
cast a gloom over all those prospects of happi
