F ROM the extensive circulation given to a malici
ous and unfounded report, in regard to the con
cern of the Alacon Bank in the recent failure of a re
spectable Merchant In this City,—end to prevent
confidence in any other falsehoods which may issue
from the samoorany other source,—1 deem it my du
ty to state, that the Bank of Macon is not, nor has
not, been interested in that or any other failure; that
the discounted paper held by the Bank is considered
undoubted, and will, it is believed, be paid at matu
rity, that the holders of the bills may rest, with en
tire confidence, on the ability of the Bank to meet
promptly all demands which can come against it, (for
which purpose they have now in the vaults more spe
cie than the amount of their Capital, besides Georgia
and United States’ Bank notes;) that the notes arc
current in this City, and have-always been promptly
redeemed by the Bank at Macon.
