Crawford have urged, why the people of Georgia should again honor him with the distinctions and prerogatives of the Gubernatorial office, the must impos ing, is that of claiming for him the merit of having redeemed the credit of the Stale, by appreciating Central Bank money. is Gov. Crawford entitled to the* merit which his friends claim for him in this mat ter ? If ho is, then let us sec what conse quences follow. Can the ''insolvency” of ■in individual or State lie redeemed, or de preciated Bank notes brought to par value without crodit or capilal ? The Governor ofGcorgia did not use the credit of tho State, and he could not create the capital. How then was central Bank money appreciated? The collections from its debtors, and the is sue of its Bonds, constituted the means whereby its notes were withdrawn from circulation. What was the agency of Gov. Crawford in promoting this result*? If lie was one of the debtors of that Bank, he contributed to the resuscitation of the cred it of that institution, precisely in the ratio of the amount of his payments upon that indebtedness—or, if he exchanged Central Bank bills for Ccntrnl Bank Bonds, he ef fected indirectly the same result. It docs not appear that Gov. Crawford loaned or made a donation to the Central Bunk, out of his private purse, of n sufficient, or any amount of money, to appreciate Cen tral Bank bills to par value—it docs not ap pear that he borrowed any—nor that lie beg ged it—nor that he stole* it—nor that Heav en through his intermediation, showered down golden eagles into the vaults of the Bank, for that purpose. Then in what un- .iccoan.ablo way nas George W. Crawford appreciated Central Bank money to par val ue ? It is claimed for him that he did effect this appreciation—and it will be denied that he adopted any of the above means. Can any individual then, state the means he did adopt l No end can be accomplished without adequate means. Have any of the Whigs ciphered out litis matter f If so where ore their figures ? If it be contended, that the appreciation of Central Bank bills, topar value, has tak en place during Gov. Crawford?s adminis- tration, and that it is but just that he shonid be entitled to all the credit of it, then I con tend, that the measure of his fame is not yet full enough—during the same time Central Rail Road Bank bills have improv ed 15 per. cent. and Alabama money ID per cent. And within the cycle, the State of Georgia cost her electoral vote for Polk and Dalias ! Arc all these results to l>e as cribed to the favorable agency of tiov. Crawford f I opine not—and yet to claim for Gov. Crawford any credit in the appre ciation of Central Bank bill* is not the less absurd. By collections from the debtors to the Central Bank, thousands and thousands of dollars of its circulation have been taken up, and by the issue of Central Bonk Bonds, a very large amount of bills have been retir ed from circulation. This is the only way Central Bank money has been appreciated. Now, what did Gov. Crawford do to effect this? Or, rather, wha< could he do ? In the vain glorying of tho Whigs, they have never pointed out the means which Gov. Crawford adopted to appreciate Central Bank bills, from the simple Jact, that the Governor never adopted any. To the pru dent policy pursued by the direction of the Central Bank in 184S, and the inherent resources of the Bank, are the people in debted for the present condition of that money—and to no.other causeor causes, a- genf or agencies. I am far from being disposed, in the dis cussion of this matter, to indulge in a strain of levity, while examining the boastful pre tentions advanced by Gov. Crawford’s friends. Bat if his advocates honestly be lieve; that he . possesses the matchless finan cial ability which they claim for him, would it not be well to have Gov. Crawford’s fis cal therapeutics exerted upon the old Bank ofMaeon,ortboOemulgeo Bank, or Rome Bank, or the Farmer's Bank of Chattachoo- Icdgeville, in the papers of Tuesday last, are in high dudgeon, at m my strictures upon the communication of the "School Master They appear tremblingly sensitive to the slightest examination into the boasted fi nancial .‘xpioits of Gov.

Let them remember, that he lias been so very economical, that the public debt of the State has INCREASED, under his administration one hundred and ten thou sand dollars! Let them remember, that the Penitentiary is an annual loss to the State under Gov. Crawford, of over thirteen thousand dollars. And let them likewise remember, that the whig legislature of 1843 exceeded in expenditures the democrat ic legislature of 1842, over fifty-eight thou- sand dollars! Need 1 ask the people of Georgia, to frown down with indignation, the boasted pretensions that are set up by Gov. Craw ford's friends ? Are there not already signs in the political sky that betoken an awful rout to <• higgery m October? These signs have been noticed by the whig party, and a new spirit has been infused into their ranks—and during tho next two months the number and description of the new hob by humbugs, which they will introduce to the notice of the democrats, will be strong evidence of the condition of their house, and the worthless and trembling superstruc ture that support it. PINEY WOODS. Skies Bright—Prospects Cheering. Within a few days we hare heard from various parts of the State. All our information is highly cheering to the Democracy. In every county from which we have heard with but one exception, our friends are united and determined to redeem the State' from the thraldom of Wbigcry. From what we ean learn the Democracy throughout the State will give Mr. McAllister a united and enthusiastic support. He will undoubtedly be elected by a large majority, and we shall probably elect a majority in the next Legislature. This will be very important, not only to Georgia, bat to the whole United States. This will enable Georgia to send to the United States Senate a sound Democrat, in the place of that old Federalist, John M. Berrien, who has too long misrepresented the State. We would advise our friends in the surrounding counties to organize and prepare (or the contest. Let no private or sec tional feelings divide your councils or weaken year energies. Yon will baveto contend against “princi palities, power and dominion, and wickedness,” both in high and low places. But if the Democracy of Georgia will make one united effort, whiggery in this State will be overthrown, and Georgia re- Oat of Stock.

Mr. Hon. Jehu McPherson Berrien. , We cannot forbear to hint at another con sideration, which ought to arouse every Democrat, and indeed every friend of Geor gia, to a deep seme of the importance of this contest. A Senator in Congress is to be elected by the next Legislature. The question springs upon us with unutterable intensity of interest, whether Georgia shall be again represented in that body by Mr. Bemen ? That he will be elected, if the Whigs have the ascendency there can be be no question. Not a note of condemna tion has emanated from the Whig ranks, at his course. He is still their Magnus A- pollo—still the emliodiment of their princi ples and policy.

WxsmxaTOS, Wilkes Co, July 29,1845. Tho situation and prospect of the growing crops is the all absorbing theme of conversation and cn quiry wherever I have been, and I consequently givo yon such further information as I have obtained from observation, and the statements of others upon that subject. I stated in my last letter that tho crops through the western part of the State would be but little short of an average aggregate yield. From Cass County to Wilkes, I find file crops much inferior to those in the western part of tho State, and lam in formed here, that in this and the adjoining Counties, they are even worse than those which I have seen. It seems to be the universal belief here, and the an swer to all enquiries, that the avenge crop of com and cotton will not be more, and some say much less, than one half tho usual yield. I hope, rather than believe, that the evil is exaggerated. The river and creek bottom lands, and some snail sections of up lands an making good crops—but the greater pert of fiw uplands are making very little, and some ab solutely nothing. As an offset, in part, to the prospective evil of a scarcity of eon, I understand that tbe wheat crop has been very good, with scarcely an exception, throughout tins and the adjoining States. The plan ters here are preparing to sow large quantities of turnip seed, small grain, Ac., which will assist in famishing food and forage. Thera never can be danger of famine or absolute want in a country liko ours—the great variety of climate, soil, and conse quent production, and the means of distribution, pre clude all probability of such an event. On leaving Cass, I went out of a direct comae for the purpose of visiting the only Iron Works which have been made profitable in the manufacture of iron from the ore in Georgia. These works were original ly commenced and owned by Mr. Moses Stroup, who has recently sold a half intcriat to the Hon. Mark A. Cooper. They are situated on “ Stroup Creek,” in the 31st District, 9d Section of originally Cherokee, now Csss County. At present there is but coe for- Road, when the junction of those branches shall be completed. I understand that thin desirable object will beaccomplfohcd early Ibis Call. Without ref erence to tbe past, the true policy of the State Boa ts to complete this Rail Road with as little delay as possible. Wc have every reason to bqlievc that the profits of the work, when completed,, will pay a fair interest upon its cost, besides conferring great col- lateral advantages upon that portion of the State through which it pa.sea, and the sections of the Un ion between which it opens a direct communication. • Yesterday, I was shown a very pretty sample of I a bale of cotton of the new crop, grown by Col. Charles L. Bolton, of this county. Cotton is being I rapidly and prematurely opened by drought, but the weed is small, has ceased to grow, and fo producing no new blooms. Litigation has almost deserted the Courts m this port of the State. Formerly the Superior Court of Wilkes held from one to two weeks; now, from two to three days suffices to settle all disputes .Only eight new cases are brought to the present Term.

During this early part of the administration referred to, Richard W.
