Ortrjhnnng of the American Rivtrs—Tho fol
lowing graphic description of the ovcrfiuwiug of
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, is from the pen of
tho .intelligent Audubon.
Huddcn is tlio calamity, that every individual,
whether man or bt*wt, has tQ exert his utmost in*
genuity to enable him to escapo from tlio droad-
fo element. The Indian quickly removes to tho
h>u» of the interior; the cattle and gome swim to
tho different strips of land that remain ncrovrrrd
in the midst of the flood, or attempt to force their
fatigue. Along tlio banks of the river the inhab
itants have rafts ready made, on which they fast
en themselves, their cattle, and their previsions,
and which they fasten with ropes or grape vines
to the large trees, while they contemplate the
melancholy spectacle presented by the curront, as
it carries off their houses and wood yards, piece
by piece—.Some, who have nothing to lose, and
arc usually known by the name of squntters, take
these opportunities of traversing tbo woods in ca
noes, for the purjiojo of procuring game, and par
ticularly tiie skins of nuimajs, such as deer and
hear, which may bo converted into money.—
They retort to the low ridges, surrounded by tho
waters, and destroy thousands of dter, merely for
their skins, leaving the flesh to putnfy. The riv
er itself, rolling its swollen waters along, presents
a spectacle of the most imposing nature* Al
though no large vessel, unless propelled by stoam,
can new make its way against the current, it is
seen covered by boats laden with produce, which,
runniug out from all tho streams float silently to
wards the city of New Orleans, their owners
meanwhile nut very w ell assured offinding a land
ing placo even there. The water is covered with
yellow foam aud puinicc, tho latter having float
ed from the Rocky Mountains of the northwest.
The eddies are large and mere powerful than ev
er. Here and there tracts of forests aro observed
undermined, the trees gradually giving way, and
fulling into the stream.
Cattle, horses, bears and deers ore seen at times
attempting to swim across the impetuous mass of
foaming and boiling water, whilst here and there
n vulture or an eagle is observed perched upon n
bloated carcass, tearing it up in pieces as re-
gardlcrs of the flood, as on former occasions it
would have been of tho numerous sawyers or
planters (logs) with which the surface ofthe wa
ter is covered when the water is low. Even tbo
steamer is frequently distressed The numberless
trees and logs that float along, break its paddles
and. retard its nrogess. Besides, it is, on such oc
casions, difficult to procure furl to maintain its
Gres; and it ia only nt very distant intervals, that a
wood yard can be found which the water has not
led off. Bears, cougars, lynxes, and nil other
quadrupeds that can ascend the trees, arc observed
crouched among their top brauebes, hungry in
the midst of abandonee; although they see float
ing around them the animals upon which they
usually prey, they dare not swim to them. On
occasions like these nil these animals ore shot
by hundreds.

Pimento.—A correspondent of the Boston Ga
zette, furnishes the followingt
“As tho niemento crop has nearly been cutoff
by the late liurricauo, perhaps some information
concerning the pimento,tree, furnished by n per
son in Jaraaiea, may he acceptable to a portion
of your renders. He says the pimento trocs blos
som three times a yenr, about April, May, and
June, and produce fruit about July, August, and
September, and although the fruit of the differ-
rut blossoms remain on the tree at tho same time,
yet being in different degrees of forwardness, re
quires picking nt different times, accordiug to its
maturity. It is perhaps the most delicate and
prccariuas production of the vegetable kingdom,
requiring gentle breezes, aud frequent light rains
—the blossoms are so slightly attached to tho
stems that strong wiuds blow them off, and light
winds aro necessary to keep their eucculeut or
gans in motion; heavy showers also break them
off, aud frequent light showers aro necessary for
their nourishment. In the year 18JB, tlio first
blossoms were blighted by the drought, and the
second wore destroyed by storms. The crops of
Jamaica, from 1800 to 1815, varied from
to 39,000 bags."

Liverpool Salt for Buffer.—This salt has s
beautiful appearance to the eye,—baa a powdery
form nnd its color is of snowy whiteness. These
qualities are very inviting to purchasers wlm nro
uot particularly acquainted with its character.—
The Liverpool or blown sulris prepared on the
western borders of Enghiu£R| boiling sea-water
ors.dt spring water, s.iterflBrwith the rock-salt
of Norwich, in larce, shallow, irimpnns. It con
tains n mixture of forcigu ingredients technically
called slack aud bittern which unite with tho salt,
aud render it nnfit for use, except for culinary
purposes. It is niit used by tlio people in tlio
neighborhood of Liverpool, either in preserving
beof, pork or batter which is designed to bu kept
anv length of time. If butter is packed down
with this salt, it is very liable to become rancid,
soft and gluov mid otherwise debased in it* quali
ty, *0 that iu a few weeks it lose* its agreeable
taste and odor aud is unfit for tho table. Instead
of using tho Liverpool salt, as is now too general
ly tho practice, our farmers would receivo a much
purified of all foreign ingredients by washing it,
Laving it thoroughly driod, nnd ground in a clean
mill. It should he used in the proportion of nhbirt
six pounds of salt to every hundred weight of hot
ter. Last week, a gentleman, wlio lives forty
miles from Portsmouth, brought four hundred
pounds oflmtter into our market. It was wade
with Liverpool suit. On inspection, it was found
to rank with No. 3 butter, aud be obtained ouly
eight dollars per lmmlred; whereas, prime butter
was then quick attwclvo dollar* and a half. Wc
have known of several utber instances of thosnmo
kind within n short time. Tliouiand* cf dollars
aro lost to tho farmers of Now Uaiu|ishire every
year in couscquonco of the inferior quality of
their butter, which inferiority « to be attributed
in part, though not altogether, to the u,e of Liv

COMMERCIAL BANK AT MACOy.
A PETITION
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the State of Oeorgia, in Central
Assembly met.
The citizens of Macon nnd others whose nwncs
ore hereunto subscribed, respectfully aolicit your
honorable body to inenrporato them as a Bank
ing Compnuy uuder tho nnrao and character of
“ The Commercial Bank at Macon,” and to give
them such privileges and immunities, at a Bank
ing Company, ns you in your wisdom may deem
meet and expedient.
We ask this from your honorable body as a
matter of right, but nt die sarno time beg loavo
to offer some of the reasons thut havo inducod os
to petition for a new Bnuk to b» located at Ma
con, believing that you will bo disposed to listen
to any arguments 'founded in reason and justice,
if it is made apparent that this community ra-
3 uircs another Bank, and that the iutorcsto of
lose you represent will be promoted by it, wo
havo no Iicsitaury in behoving thnt you will grant
tho Petition of yoar Memorialists.
Every thing which tends to lower the rate of
interest is peculiarly worthy the' cero of legisla
tion; nnd whatever has a tendency to effect this
without doiug violence to the natoral courso of
things, ought to be attended to and strictly pur
sued. Your memorialists confidently believe that
Banks, when properly managed arc among tho
moans most likely to accomplish this ond. Tho
capital of every Bonk is made up of the funds of
men iu business and tho surplus capital of tbo
Fanner aud Mechanic. This capital they could
not spare out of their reach for auy great length
of time, either on mortgages or personal security.
Banks, therefore, offer a safo and profitable re
ceptacle, in which tboy may vest their surplus
capital, and from which they can draw as sound
circulating medium in sden sums nnd ,nt such
times as their necessities require. This circula
ting medium will flow from a permanent fountain
bead, nnd will bo more copious as tho fountain
head is cularged. Thus the Bank will furnish
borrowers within its immediate sphere, with nn
extraordinary supply, and in proportion ns the
circulation of the bills is extended, there is un
augmentation of tho aggregate amount of monoy
for answering tho demands of the community,
lienee, greater facility in obtaining it for every
purpose of life, anil the consequent depreciation
of iutcrest—aud hcuco a stop to the progress of
usury, either by the Shaver or Broker. The c<
incrcial and planting interest in Macon and its
vicinity have suffered severely from tho scarcity
of Bank capital owned in tho place, ns well as
from the total insufficiency of all the foreign and
local Bank capital to supply tho wants of tho
loeat
local Hank capital to supply tue warns 01 tue
community. The Banks locatod in Macon havo
small capitals, and with one exception are bran
ches of other Banks in tho Stato, and are almost
wholly controlled by persons who reside at n dis
tance and who cannot be expected to know the
wants of tbc community. Tbo demand for mo
ney increases in an equal ratio with the increase
of business—and it is well known that our Banks
have not and conuot increase their emissions in
an equal ratio. From actual calculations, made
by intelligent and cxporicncod merchants, it b as
certained that our Banks havo not been able to
supply more than one half of tho money that has
been actually deployed hero to transact tho busi
ness of tho place—let n few plain facts bo submit
ted: Last year there ivcro 00,000 bales ofCot-
tJfl sold in Macon, which at $25 per bale amounts
to $1,500,000. Add to this tho expensos of trans-
ortation to the soaboard, storage, commissions,
Med to 6L<
P'j.',’:nig lb.: walLi of ogriculuirJ Iff-:—are*
whereas, many of these Banks not adJir^w
the terras of their respective 1 barters, indulge u»
extraordinary emissions of paper, which r-s jJi i a
nn inability to redeem, to the grrut ’.on aud «.
nous injoiy of tbo good peoplo cfthS

l,800,000.
This year, wo believe the number of bales of cot
ton to be received nt Macon will bo utleaEt,7U,U00,
which at $25p6rbalo will amount to$1,750,000.
Add expenses of transportation, die. nnd it will
cost delivered at tho scu-board, $2,000,000.
It is believed that the quantity of goods brought
to this place, and the niouoy necessary for im
proving tho town buildiugs, will amount to as
much more. Four, millions of dollars, then are
required to transact the business of the place tbo
coining year. You will sec that wo have not
takcu into tb^c^culntion, tho cotton which is
purchased by our mcrchanis at the different land
ings on the river, and which is shipped to tlio sea
board, without coining to Macon, nor hnve wo
taken into fil* the money required by the sur
rounding country for any of the purposes of life
—we then assert without fear of contradiction,
that all tbo banks of Macon, cannot' furnish tho
money uccessnry to carry on the business of tho
place tho coming year; nnd fur satisfactory proof
of this fact, wo refer to the nuuunl returns of tho
banks to your honorablo body. Tho consequcnco
of a grout deficiency of bank capital has been,
thnt our merchant; have been compelled to re
sort to other nnd distant place* for money; and in
addition to tho inconveniences nnd delny, conse
quent upon this state of tilings, the discount and
commissions, they have becu compelled to pay
to tho brokers nnd shavers, havo swelled tho rate
of interest to from twelvo to twenty-five per cent.
This evil wo could not remedy, nnd w’o hnve
been compelled to charge tbo planter n hi*li ruto
on advances, or suffer bankruptcy ourselves.—
Tills state of thiugs is insupportable, and wo re
spectfully solicit your honorablo body to remedy
*u crying an evil, by grunting us another bank
with such n capital as may bo sufficient for tho
business of the place. It is proposed by your
memorialists, that tho hunk havo a capital of
four hundred thousand dollars, divided inraTnarcs
of one hundred dollars each, nnd thnt no individ
ual, or copartnership of individuals, bo nllowod
to subscriLo for moro than ouo hundred shares,
and that your memorialists ho considered ns hav
ing already subscribed for all tho stork, under the
above restriction. Wo recommend this courso,
that wo may avoid un evil which has in several
instauccs defeated the objoct of tho Legislature
iu incorporating bauks. tVe nliode to n mono
poly of tue stock by n few indtvidnnls.' Wo w ish
to avoid this evil liy giving every individonl lutlio
place, an opportunity of subscribing for stock
(which we believe has been given iu tlus ease)
and then to hove these individuals so subscribing
und petitioning, incorporated us the stockholders
ofthe bank, This eourso may be a novel one,
yet wc confidently boliovo its effects wiu be salu
tary, and that the whole community will sbaro in
its advantages. ,
From these and other rcas6ns that* will suggest
themselves to yqur liouoratdo body,_ we foudly
liopo juo will ih irler tho Comnierciiil Iluuk nt
Macon, and thus ounblo your uiemoriaKits to in
crease thocirculatiugmcuium of tho State,'to put
n stop to the progress of usury, to eeualite the
exchange between the interior of tbo State, ami
tbescud/nun!, and to ctiahlothc peoplo the more
easily to pay their debts to the Merchant and to
tho istatc.' And your memorialists w ill over
