CONCERT.
The bill n f Mr. Cook f., for a Concert, will be seen
bv a reference to our advertising columns. \Vc learn
he is a performer of great merit, and trust he will re
ceive a corresponding patronage from our citizens.
A considerable number of our citizens are material,
lv interested in the following sections of a law of this
State, relative to the’issuc of change bilk. What will
be the final result of attempting to enforee this law,
we will not venture to predict—but that it will occa
sion litigation, and a long train of legal investigation,
there can be hut little doubt. The excessive tax pro
posed to be levied and eoilerted, will certainly stand
in the way of its being carried into elli-ct, and of sup.
pressing the evil which it was designed to check. If
it should leave the matter just wlu re it now stands,
after much legal investigation and •• law's delay.” it
need not surprise any one.
Si:-. 2. And be it further en c/cd , That any person
or persons, body corporate or politic, who shall make
issue, circulate, pay or lender in payment, any check,
order, draft, or bill, lor the payment of money, or other
thing having the form or similitude of a bank note, or
having other form or similitude, or intended so to be
used arid circulated as money or circulating medium,
except -,uch hanking institutions as are by law authori
zed to issue notes or bills for circulation, s'.iall incur
nrtd be liable to all penalties, to be recovered in the
same manner as is prescribed by the first section of an
Act entitled An Act mote effectually to prevent the
evils of private banking, and to stop the circulating of
the trills and no'es called change bills, passed Decem
ber, 19th, ISIS.
Skc. 4. And be it further enacted , That the ma
king or issuing each check, order, draft, or bill, for the
payment of money, or other thing having the form or
similitude, or intend ‘d to be used and circulat and a
money or circulating medium, shall be considered and
hold as a si-par i p and new n!T-rioe ; and all amounts,
of said paper, so put in circulation, shall be liable to a
tax of fifty per cent.; and if lire* issuer shall fail or re
fuse to give tire same in to tire receiver of tax returns
bv the first of.l i!v, shall be (slimmed at tile amount
of thirty thousand doll trs, to be levied and collected us
in other cases.
We lii'c further accounts of the failure of our pa
pers w ithin the last week. The Postmaster at Huo
tensvilie, Upson Country, writes us, under date of the
28th January, that not only our paper, but the Tele
g- iph of this rity, and the MilleJgevitle papers seldom
arrive at tlu- proper time, net generally until more th n
one or two weeks after they are printed, \\ e -aie un
able to airive at the source of this difficulty ourselves,
and hope our subscribers will exercise their patience a
fi-iv weeks longer. The fault is not with us ; anJ the
consequences art- most detrimental to our interests as
well as others. vVe trust that the power which con
trols the tenure of oTice, will apply the remedy, for it
was never, within our knowledge,so much needed.
The disappointed adherents if Mr. *an Bun n’s ad
ministration seem determined In prepare busint ss fur
the administration ot his pdccessor ; .mil in so doing
they are endeavoring to pripurt tile minds of the peo
ple for it, by such insidious paragraphs as the follow
ing, from the Vicksburg Sentinel- W here it speaks of
<■ hundreds” being murdered, the papers of the day,
and on the very spot, only spoke of one If there
were more lost, or killed, on board the Steam Boat
■Camline, it i a fact that lias never been established.
Mel.non, one o( the canad.an murderers, who bare
ly sent hundreds of out countrymen to eternity while
asleep on hoard the Caroline, in our own country, has
been caught in New York, indicted for murder, and
now awaits his trial. Her majesty, Victoria,
knighted McNair for the same infamous net. and we
hope that the State of Net* York will elevate his ac
complice Mi Lend Viekfhtirj’ •''■’’tHiid.
The editor of the Telegraph, i*> his 1 ist number, has
made an astonishing discovery, lie informs his rea
ders. that the Harrison party in Georgia have “ stolen
themselves into power.” Did he lake Bibb muni;/,
for an example 1 Pctliaps lie wauld have given his
friends more coireet information if he bad informed
th in t'.i il Ills pa 1y li i! .*/ d-:.i 1 1 ’ useless :</ f power.
The lanl North Aitieiicau Ri view, in illuatiation
llic bod talc whiebchtiiaclcriaes the speeches of many
e>f our Congressional Orators, has introduced some
specimens which are any thing but flattering cither to
the Speakers themselves, or to the reputation of the
assembly, which professes to represent the talenis and
decency of the American pco| le. Both parties are
obnoxious to the charge, of a Violation not merely of
the decoruin which should he observed in every legis
lative assetnby. but of some of the most gross outra
rages of the ordinary conventional observances of good
breeding recognised in society.
Whigs and Loco’s have signallr/.ed themselves in these
disgraceful exhibitions, and their constituency have
been mortified and disgraced, by the ungentlemanly de
portment of their representatives, in what should le.
the most dignified assembly on earth, (loorgia never
has been, and,we trust*never will be, subject to li e mor
tification of being disgraced by such a specimen of
ruffianism and hiackguaidism as exhibited by the no
torious Dr, Duncr.n of Ohio in an encounter with
another honors!'!* member, and which tve find des
cribed as follows :
In the course of his remarks, Mr. D. intimated that
by way of illustrating his afguments in relation to the
Whigs, he had taken the liberty of calling upon bis
post.
Several members desired that the poctv might I*
read.
Mr. Duncan said no, it would not do ; for were he
to attempt to read it there, he would he called to order.
Besides, the poetry was to he sung.
A member desired to know if it would be in order
to have lire poetry sung. Ifso, Ire should desire it.
Mr. Duncan could trot oblige tire genlUinan j but
they wouhi see rhe poetry iit print, when his remarks
were published. But he had no objection to inform
them that the poetry was set to the tunc of Kostin
Castle.
Before concluding, Mr. I). adverted to a letter f om
Mr. Kelley, which appeared in the National Intelligen
cer some time ago, denying that (lerreral llarrison
had refused to give pledges, etc. Mr. D. produced
evidence from an outhentie source, showing that lire
statements of said letter were nut tiue, all of w hich
will be given when the •peach shall be published in
full.
W hen Mr. Duncan had finished bis remarks, he
read from the Intelligencer the following, as reported
in that paper:
*• Mr, W. C. Johnson submitted to the Chair wheth
er it was in order for an individual to charge General
Harrison with cowardice, who had himself been bran
ded as a coward on this floor 1”
The paper was put in his hand a moment before he
commenced speaking. He had deferred saying any
thing on the subject until he should finish his remarks,
expecting that sonic denial would be made, or some
correction of the report ordered.—But that not being
done, he denounced its author (pointing to M. Win.
Cost. Johnson,) u base her. a conteniptible puppy, a
scoundrel, mid an infamous coward. Now, sir said
Mr. D. I beard no part of the matter so reported, as ap
plied to mys-lt ; and I ask the chairman, who was
nearer to Mr. Johnson, whether or not he heard the
member so express himself?
The Chairman (Mr. Campbell) responded that he
heard no such remark.
Tire Augusta papers announce that the Banks of
that City resumed specie payments-on Mon ay, and
paid specie to all persons except Banks and Brokers,
or their Agents.

T The comparative safety of Railroad travelling ap
pears lo he well established. It is stated in the annu
el report of the Philadelphia atm Baltimore Road that,
out of six hundred thousand passengers who have
travelled on thi* road, only one |-ersnn has been killed
—and that individual may be slid in a manner to have
killed himaell, having burnt thrown from a dangerous
position on the cars which he sought of his own ac
cord, and destroyed almost before the danger he wa
in, was known. The Phila. Oetette passes a high and
just encomium on Mr. Nkwkihk, the President of
ti,is Company, lor the energy and skill of his admin
istration of its affairs. — Newark Sentinel,
Education in Kentucky .—The Bu|ienntrnr!ant of
public Instruction in Kentucky slated in Ins last report,
that in a certain county of the State, out ot fifteen
Grand Jurora, the Judge could uol find one whom he
might appoint foreman ; also that in a collection of
some foitv or fifty persons, accidentally convfneJ in a
country tavern, not one could he found who could give
his signature as a witness to a bond. He furthermore
stated that in 1830 there were in tho commonwealth
140,000 children of proper ages to be at school; and
that in June last the whale number ut school was o ly
übout 32,000.
These statements having given occasion to some ex
pressions ot incredulity, the superintendent Inn pub
lished in several of the Kentucky papers pi oofs in con
firmation of his assertions. In reference to the last
mentioned particular he gives later statistics, obtained
wc presume, by the recent census. It is stated that in
1840 there were 175.000 children between the ages of
five nod fifteen, of whom on tlie’first of June, only
32,904 were at school. Hefcrenhe is also made to au
thentic returns from various counties ut the Auditoi's
office for the year 1840, from which the following re
sults appear.— Baltimore A merican.
Flovd County—population 0,302 ; between 5 and
15. 2,055 ; at school June Ist, none ; teachers none ;
above 20 years old unable to read 673.

The English Language consists of about thirty
eight thousand woids. This includes, of coin**, not
only radical words, but all derivatives, except the pre
terites and participles of verbs; to which must be add
ed some few terms which, tliouuh set down in the dic
tionary, are either obsolete or have never ceased to be
considered foreign. Os these, about thirty-three thous
and, or nearly five eighths, are of Anglo-Haxon origin.
The majority of the rest, in what prop mim we cannot
say, are L.itin and Greek; Latin, however, has the
largest share.— Phil. Standard.
It is stated in the Charlottsville Jeffersonian that the
Legislature of Virginia is literally B oded

that the Legislature pass “ a general law, divorcing
eveiv couple in the {State, with le-i\e to such as are
disposed, to re-roarry.”

H avcuip, Sr. in the 83d year ofliisage.
He was a native of .North Carolina, where, in the 17th
year of bis ngc, he volunteered in the cause of liberty ;
and after the expiration of the first term of bis service,
seeing his country still needed bis assistance, lie was
found twice again iu the field us u volunteer, mid was in
the army when the independence for which his country
had so long toiled, was achieved. He was married in
li s 20tli year to Marv Stewart, and they for 6*2 years
enjoyed each other’s tocietv, during which time they
raised a large family. About his 30th year he professed
a confidence in the pardoning love of a crucified Redeem
er, ami united himself to tue Baptist Chutch, of which
he was it zealous Hint acceptable member until his
death. Retaining in an unusual degree his mental fac
ulties, and being perfectly sensible that his departure
drew near, he expressed himself in the language of St.
Raul, and said “ I have fought a good fight, I have fin
ished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there
is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord the liglileouf* judge shall give at that day, and not
to me only, but unto all them who love his appearing.*’
He removed to Geoigia in 1781, where Ite resided, un
• til in peace with uil men, lie closed his long end useful
life, leaving his partner ill her BJsi year, soon to follow,
and a largo family connexion, to imitate his virtues, and
mourn his lo*s. Well rimy it he said ** blessed are the
dead who die iu the Lord* henceforth yea sailh the spir

porting upon so min h of President 1.. L. Griffin’* ad
dress to flm stockholders of the Monroe Rail Road and
Harming Company, as refer* to the Mayor and Council
oft City of Macon, beg leave to alrtt*-*-
i’liat they have with d-*ep nnj unfeigned regret per
used the said communication above referred to, and con
sider it a most wanton and nujustiimbie Attack upon the
representatives of the city ol Macon. In that address
President Griffin sav*—“we have great reason to con
gratulate ourselves that wc have been the instruments
<if S'tving Macon from the overpowering influence of
Charleston and Augusta, and that too twph the opposi
tion of six of the Vlacon Hank, and City Council, id
whom a large portion of the present excitement is to be
ascribed. The latter (meaning of course the City Coun
cil,) it is my duty to present to you and the public ev s
as having acted in had faith to this Company ami the
public, by their withholding and refusing to make pay
ment of their stock, to the amount of SIO,OOO, to the
damage of the public, the Company on their part having
performed flic labor. 1 appeal to a generous public to
place the ceuaurc where it is due.” To present this
matter in its true light before that public to which Pres
ident Griffin has appealed, your committee will dispose
of the subject in the order in which it lias been present
ed, nud cmleavor to be guided by the rule ** Aotning ex
tenuate, or aught set down in malice.”
‘The President prefaces his tirade upon the Mayor and
Council w ith this remarkable naserlion, K 'that the Mon
roe Bail Road and Bunking Company hare great rea
xon to congratulate themselves that they hare been the
instruments of saving Macon frtm the overpowering
influence of Charleston and Augusta.” In what way
the Moure Rail Road and Hanking Company have saved
\laeon in this respect, vour committee is at a loss to
determine. Was it by flooding the country with irre
deemable currency, with w hich in older to obtain h
check on Charleston, the City of Macon and her citi
zens were compelled to pay n premium of ten percent,
and for one on Augusta (whose Hanks were in n state
of suspension) me rule ol o iV, 6 per cent, premium ? Or
is it by laying out and building uj a City, called after
its founder, immediately above tue city of Macon, and
proclaiming to rlie world by piiuted circulars, flint this
j Oily el Griffin, .>8 miles north-west of Macon bad equal
if not more advantages than anv oilier inland City in t!i
.Sooth for the purchase of Cotton and other produce,
and to supply such articles of merchandize as may be
wanting! And adding a long string of reasons whv per
sons shoa 1 1 1 trade to Griffin instead of Macon oi any
other citv / Or by carrying goods destined for this fa
vored city by the Rail Road (which Rail Road was
granted by the people of Georgia through their repre
j sentatives for the crjiinl benefit of all the citizens,} ut
j half the rates imposed upon other goods and mercimn
) di/.rf
i In this view of the rose, \om Committee concludes
! that if this is the only ground upon which the said Cum*
j punv has reason fir Congratulation, the city of Mucon
! nor her citizens owe lliPin anv gratitude.
In regard to the opposition of the Citv Council to
I which a large portion ot the excitement against the
Monroe Rail Road and Hanking Company is to be as
cribed vour Committee w ill state, that the said Council
were on terms of the utmost confidence with said Com
pany, until sometime in September last, when the City
Council disposed of Five 1 bousand Dollars in New
\ ork exchange, for the express purpose of paving two
debts in the City of Macon, in payment of which ex
’ change the Treasurer received Monroe Rail Ruud men
! ey—neither of the Hanks to w hich these debts were dm;
I would receive said money; and two applications weie
! made to the Monroe Rail Ro.nl Hank for such money as
| said Hanks would receive, to which applications pre
’ o nplory denials were given, upon which the City Cotm
| cil ordered so much of the money as could not l/ used
! in oilier wavs, to be sold—and a larger sum was parted
j w ith ut a sacrifice. The representatives of the City en
! trusted w ith the interest of th *ir constituents deeming
that they did not possess the right thus to sacrifice the
interests ol the citizens, passed a resolution ordtring the
j receiving officer*-of tin city to discontinue icceiving
the Hills of the Moiiioe Rail Road Hank, but pm-sdli-n
order, sail! resolution should not be published, with”
the Culier proceedings of Cos mail, to avoid doing th**
M ‘nroe Had Road Bank any injury with the public. If’
J/. tiis proceeding ofCoiiucil. lias tended to excite the pnb
{ lie mind against said Institution, it is evident from the
above account of it that such was no: the intention of
the City Council,their only object being to protect the
interests of the City.
Finally, as to the c barge, that file City Council bn*
acted in bad faith to the said company and the public,
by withholding and refusing to make payment of their
stock to the a mount of $ 10,000 —In respect to this charge,
it would only be necessary for yonr Committee to deny
! if* correctness, if they desired to get rid of it in a simi
j lar wav—Hut this j. nut the manner iti which iiitcgrily
j nu.l cnmlnr deal with their subjects. Vour Committee
would therefor* state, that nil instalment* due hv the
i City lor Monroe Hail Hoad stock hiive hero paid “with
j the exception of the lo*l to wit, s.',<><>' —unci that !uo not
1 with stuck notes, tut hv actual payments. It is there
-1 fore o subject of the greatest surprise to y onr commit.
tee. that President firiffin, eoiti.l have pern-iilcd himself

iVV!’ 1 1 llis moli v e could have hcen, in circtt latino this un-

i must have been, to attempt In this irregular mentis, to ne.
I count for the great deficit tiiipenring in ’he funds of the
Institution, over w hich he lias ihe honor to preside.
He it therefore Jir.olred, That so much of President
IGriffiu’s conimiinicntion, ns states, that the Citv of Ma
con has w ithheld $40,0011, due the Company lor Stock,
is unfounded and incorrect.
And he it further Heno/ted. That until the Mcnroo
