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.

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."

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.

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 nnd whereas the Bank of tho United ymtms aV fording a sooad and uniform cummer, nod ex ercising, in consequence thereof, a ctmirrifu* influence over the Stato rr local BsJjr pre sents itself to tbo pooplo of this State fci tin* only remedy affording adequate relief, by ctt»- rtctiug extraordinary issues;—and wberwra, in the present oxeited Cato of the great poliuV-jl parties in the United $tatos, threatening dhvu- 1011, it u bcliovctl to be o vaJaablo cOxlliary fti cementing the federal relatious of the trfatei, tv affording to every citizen, throughout ourceun’. try, u currency, equally good ia Mqlce, as in Georgia:—ond whereas tho financial operation, ofthe General Government depend, for tbvlr success in ngroot measure, upon the rcetiomauvr, of this salutary, institution:—ond whrvnw. it is the only means of fo*igu, ns woll ns domesfb: excUnugo, ond in consequcnco thereof cxiustiuit'.. ou important item in our commercial prwpcri- Be it therefore resolved. That our tieoaturs a. t Representatives in tho Congrara of the VaitM states,.be, oud they nro horeby,requested, (u uso their influeneo in effecting a renewal of tliti charter of the Bank of the United States, un der such regulations nnd restrictions :ra will comport with the lights and roverrignty oftlta States. * ■ .... tPcdimiaij, .Vor. 23. ■Jlio bills, to moonjorato a Bank in Fort Games—to subscribe for u sufficient number of copios of l uster’s Digest, to furnish tho Inferior Courts and Justices of tbo Peace, with onecarb —to provido for tho necessary surveys and esti mates of a Rail Rood or Cano), from SavanmOi ic. and the amount is swell 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.'
