“MACON:
Wednesday L
The forty-eighth anniveisary of our
country's independence was celebra
ted in this town on Monday last by a
l ar <re and respectable concourse of ci
tizens. The day was ushered in by a
gun at day-break, and another at sun
rise. At half past 11 o'clock a pro
ression was formed at the Ferry, and
moved to Bullock’s building, escorted
by Captain Bates’ company. An ap
propriate hymn was sung, and the
Throne of Grace addressed by the
ltev.Mr. Rogers, after which the Dec
laration of Independence was read bv
M. Robertson, Esq. and an Oration,
suited to the occasion, and highly cre
ditable to the speaker, was delivered
by Major Booth. Another prayer was
then offered up, and a hymn sung, in
which most of the audience joined.—
As soon as the exercises closed, a sa
lute was fired, and the procession
again formed, and moved to the Eagle
Hotel, where they partook of a sump
tuous dinner, for which, much credit
is due to M-r. Rushin, both for its ex
cellence, and the perfect order with
which every thing was condutted.—
John Davis, Estp officiated as Presi
dent, and (Jen. C. J. McDonald as
Vice President. After the cloth was
removed, the following toasts were
drank, accompanied by a national sa
lute.
1. The Fourth of July, '76. —When
America demonstrated to the world
that a nation to* lie free, needs but to
vjl it—may it be commemorated by
unborn millions of our countrymen,
is the natal day of their liberty.
2. Liberty. —“ Is there any man so
lile he would not be a freeman.”
3. The memory of Washington, and
Ike departed worthies of the He volu
tion.
4. The People* —May they ever be
the only source of power—when Gov
rrnmentsare weak, may they be strong,
and have the will to mend them.
5. Public Morality, and generally
diffused Education and Intelligence.
—The onlyjsure bases of popular in*
ititutions and free governments.
6. Liberty without licentiousness,
wd Iletigion without Ingtry —The
true sources of political tranquility
wd social happiness.
7. The Equality of Man. —A disco
very made in America, and notbeliev
nl in by the Legitimates of Europe:—
may their subjects find out that it has
*ot been patented.
8* Our Country. —The polarstarof
Liberty— may it guide nations to fice
tlom through the night <ddespotism.
9. The Jinny and JVYiiv/.—By a strict
subordination, a shield and protection
b’our country —without it, more de
structive than wore the hordes of lo
custs on the plains of Kgvpt.
i 10. A well organized Militia. —Our
firmest bulwark against foreign en
croachment or domestic tyranny.
11- Ihe President of the United
States and the Heads oj Departments.
12- I'he Governor of the Slute of
Georgia.
10. The Jim eric an Fa ; r —

( Many of the toats were followed

‘fering. Several volunteer toasts
’ rre drank, which we regret that we
Y® unable to procure for publication.

ever contains no mailer of importance but
what has already been anticipated. It iiquiie
limited, for reasons given in the concluding
paragraph which we have copied below. The
testimony and documents which accompany
it are very voluminous. One number of the
Intelligencer is nearly filled with them, w hich
we presume t hut a small part. Much of them
have very little bearing upon the subject.upon
which the Committee remark :
“ I lie evidence has run into muck de
tail, ami some parts of it, probably,
I have not a very material application
to the main subject of inquiry. It
seemed proper, however, to the Com
mittee, to allow to those concerned a
liberal indulgence in this respect.”
“The Committee do not deem it neccs aryto
extend their Report, by protracted observa
tions on the various parts of the evidence, as
the whole is submitted to the House. They
content themselves witli saying, that, in their
opinion, nolhing has been proved to impeach
the integrity of the Secretary, or to bring into
doubt the general correclness and ability of
his administration of the public finances. To
this point, as the main object of inquiry, the
chief attention of tie Committee has directed;
and they hav e nine to the result, which has
now been stated, with the unanimous concur
rence of the members present. Other points
there are, of less importance, but which may.
ne\ erthelpos, be supposed not to have escaped
consideration by the Committee. These,how
ever, under all the circumstances, they have
thought it proper to leave, without observa
tion, in the light in which they are placed In
cidence.”

TRADE OF SAVANNAH
We are gratified to perceive by the
following correspondence, with which
we have been furnished for publication
that the proposition which has been
made by (be Branch of the Darien
Bank, located at Macon, and which
cannot but be mutually henelicial, has
been accepted in the spirit it) which it
was made. By this arrangement, the
intercourse between this ci>v and a
portion of our state, daily ami hourly
increasing in wealth and population,
will bo increased, and not only per
manently benefit these places, but
secure to the state a trade which, by
an unaccountable apathy, may be per
mitted notwithstanding our local ad
vantages, to be diverted permanently
from its natural channels. We trust
however, since the work is begun, that
the active co-operation of our mer
chants, will prevent anticipated evils
and secure future benefits. Exertion
and enterprise only are required to
secure the desired objects. The new
road to Dublin, is otic link in the con
necting the chain of internal interest,
and the removal of the obstructions in
ihe Altamaha, is another to which we
feel an assurance that the inhabitants
of the western counties will cheerful
ly contribute. Let us put our shoul
ders to the wheel and not suffer our
waggon to remain in the ditch, whilst
we are on ing out to Jupiter for help:
Suvanpah 25th June, 1824.
Dear Sir . —As it is the interest,
so it must be the wish of every inliab
tant ol the state of Georgia, to pro
mote the prosperity of its capital. At
no period perhaps of her commercial
existence, was it so necessary to awa
ken and call the vigilance and atten
tion ot her citizens, to this important
object, than the present when her
capital is deprived of a large share of
her usual internal trade, by the bold
enterprise and commercial activity ol
a sister state ; she beholds the rich
fruits of the labor and industry of a
great portion ot her state, floating in
to other ports. Ibe effect ol this al
ienation of trade, is visible to all, and
she, in particular,must feel its pres
sure most sensibly. To check, then
(it is true, in a small degree) the pro
gress of this increasing evil, is the
motive that induces me to submit two
propositions for your consideration,
viz. ,
Ist. Will your Bank receive tor
collection Notes payable at Macon?
2d. U ill jour /Link discount or
make any exception to this description
of paper, of standing with local paper,
when ordinarily discounting ?
Favourable answers to the above
propositions, will, 1 am confident, be
productive of the happiest results,and
1 feel still more sanguine in my hopes
by the concurrent opinion ol a number
of the merchant* of Savannah, who
have already expressed a strong and
ardent desire of beholding such an
arrangement established, as would fa
cilitate the commercial intercourse be
tween Macon and Savannah, and se
cure the trade| to her own citizens,
which would terminate i' l mutin’ ad
vantage to the citizens of both pla
ces.

Dear Sir. —Your letter of to-dav,
w as laid before the Board of Directors
and 1 am instructed and authorised to
say, in reply to your enquiries, that
this Bank will readily receive for
collection or discount, paper payable
at Macon, and will otherwise afford
all the usual and accustomed facili
tiesoftrade and intercourse, which
can or may be reasonably expected
between tins place and Macon, so long
as they find it reciprocally beneficial
or not incompatible with their interest
to do so.

Politids in Ncrv-Tork. —lt may
serve to correct some misrepresen
tation, to copy the following, which
we take from the latest No. of the
Albany’ Argus, the established and
regular organ of the Republican
party of the state of New York, in
whose statements entire confidence
may he placed :
“ l'he Prospect in New-Fork.
“ Accounts from all parts of the
state assure us that among republi
cans, the proclamation [of the Go
vernor for re assembling the Legis
lature] has produced the happiest
results. Upon no subject, since
the ascendancy of the republican
party in this state, has an expres
sion of disapprobation and disgust
been more fully or m#re freely giv
en. It has drawn republicans it>
to a close union—and lias drawn
such intelligible lines between the
true and false friends of the party,
that for the future they will be as
plain as they hav e been all along
real, though disguised. Instead
of depression and apprehension as
to its operation upon the legislative
nomination, it has added fresh
strength and energy to it. It has
rendered it secure beyond nil ap
prehension. Men who were cold
or indifferent before, are now ani
mated to active and ardent exer
tion. Nearly every subject of
casual or incidental difference, is
put aside, and an union of action
and feeling has been produced,
which will be found altogether ir
resistible. Never was a measure
—jntended as an apple of discord
—intended to promote the designs
ol the opposition, and the views of
the individual who has chosen to
resort to this extraordinary expedi
ent to gratify his resentments, and
to minister to bis hopes—intended
to divide and embarrass republi
cans,and to put to a hazardous issue
a nomination which they had fairly
and unanimously made—never vvaji
such a measure so completely h
seated by its own inconsisteflp
and folly. The thing is entirely
overdone. The motives, and the
promised rewards, are so plain on
the face of this singular document
— that they alone are thought of,
while the unfortunate reasons which
are assigned for it, are remember
ed only as they contradict each
other. The effect will be any thing
but disastrous to the democratic
party. It may be regarded rather
ns a deed, conceived in a weak and
rash moment, which will elevate
and strengthen that party in the
same ratio that it will paralyze and
prostrate the unfortunate author
and abettors of the proclamation.”

Distressing Casualty. —lt has be
come our painful duty to record
one of the most melancholy occur
rences that has ever been witnessed
in this section of our country. On
Wednesday last, a large number
of the citizens of Winthrop, with
several people from the adjoining
towns were assembled for the pur
pose of raising the frame of the
new Congregational Meeting house
in that place. The work proceed
ed prosperously until the main part
of tho frame, and about half the
roof were raised. Between 40 and
50 men were standing on that part
where the rafters had not been rais
ed, and their weight rested princi
pally upon a single beam, at the
height of about 26 feet irom the
lower floor, and which, as we learn,
had nothing but a very slender spar
to support it. As they were at
tempting to raise a pair of rafters
this spar gave way, when the beam
wit* instantly broken in the said-
J
die, and most of the men, togeth
er with all the timber that had not
been thoroughly secured, were
precipitated in'a mass to the bottom.
I he scene that now presented itself
was truly shocking. Upwards of
thirty men had fallen from the top
of the frame, and now lay buried
beneath the fragments of timber,
most of them severely wounded,
and one or two literally crushed to
pieces ! A few moments previous,
every countenance beamed with
hilarity and joy. Now nothing was
heard but the lamentations of
friends, and the sbriek's'dj
tators, mingled with the gtoans of
the bruised and. mangle’d beings.
The whole number of thflsft who
it-ll is 37, ot whom 26 were severe
ly wounded , Qne of Mr.
Warren Pullen,'expired in #bout
an hour alter lie was taken from
the frame, and we understand there
are five or six others, of whose re
covery but sligjit expectations are
entertained. The remaining eleven
were slightly injured. Mr. 1 Pul
len had been married Jmt a few
weeks before his death. The: other
sufferers are principally upuer the
middle age, and were among the
most hardy and active men in the
vicinity. J f -
Those who#were stanUng"on the
floor beneath were warned of their
danger bv the cracking.ef the tim
ber above them, in time to secure
their retreat.
Since the above was prepared for
thejjpress, we have heard of the
death of another of the unfortunate
sufferers, Mr. Paul Ladd of Wayne
who expired on Thursday after
languishing in the most excrutia
ting pain until about noon.—He
left a wife, but no children. It is
also reported that Mr. Hoyt is at
the point of death, and that the
lives of four others are # despaired

The agent from Haytl notv here
we learn, is an intelligent, wel. ed
ucated gentleman, his complex

Philadelphia, he was rudely order
ed from the table, by “St passenger
who xvas a stranger to him. He
rose and addressed the company,
informed them he wasiin officer of
the Haytien Government, on public
business t~ the United States—that
in his country, hospitality
gers wyts the first of duties—they
were always protected from insult
and treated in a manner correspon
ding vyith their claimjs and qualifi
cations. It is needless to say, that
the company extended to him a
marked and polite attention, which
tended to allay his wounded feel
