Toombs in the House yesterday, are as fol
lows : r
“ Resolved, that a special committee of
five be appointed, whose duty it shall be to
enquire into the management and situation
of the Central Bank of Georgia, and also in
to the condition of the finances of this state,
and report by bill or otherwise whether or
not the public interest requires the repeal
of the charter of said bank, and also what
measures arc necessary and proper to be
adopted, for the speedy payment of the
debts of this state, and the restoration of her
credit.
•“ It is further resolved, That said Com
mittee have power to send for persons and
papers, and to examine witnesses under
oath.”
Two bills were introduced in the Senate,
this morning, one to regulate the banking
institutions in this State, to compel them to
resume specie payments, and to conform to
the laws of the State, under certain penal
ties. “"This bill was introduced by Mr. Mor.
ris of Franklin. The other bill was intro
duced by Mr. Williamsof Baldwin,and has
for its object to prevent frauds and illegal
voting at elections. When I had to close

WHIMSICAL MARRIAGE.
merchant, originally come from Paris,
haying acquired a great fortune in one of
the French West India Islands, concluded
with'himself he could not be happy in the
enjdyment of it, unless he shared it With a
worhaft of merit ; and knowing none to his
fancy, he resolved to write to a worthy cor-,
respondent of his at Paris. He knew no
other style'than that he used in his trade ;
therefore, treating of affairs of love as he
did his business, after giving his friend in a
letter several commissions, and reserving
this for the last, he went on thus :
“ Item —Seeing that I have taken a reso
lution to marry, and that Jdo not find a
suitable match for me here, do not fail to
send, by next ship, bound hither, a young
woman of the qualifications and form fol
lowing. As for a portion, I demand none.
Let her be of an honest family, between 20
and 25 years of age, of a middle stature,
. and well proportioned, her face agreeable,
her temper mild, her character blameless,
her health good, and her constitution
strong enough to bear the change of the cli
mate, that there may be no occasion to look
ojjt for a second, through lack of the first
soon after she hand, which must
be provided much as possible,
considering the great distance and danger
of tlre f 'iea. If she arrives here, conditioned
as above said, with the present letter en
dorsed by you, or at least an attested copy
thereof, that there may be no mistake or
imposition, I hereby oblige-and engage to
satisfy the said letter by marrying the bear
er at fifteen days sight. In witness there
of, L subscribe this, &c.
Parisian correspondent read over
and over this odd article, which put the fu
ture spouse on the same footing with the
bales of goods he was to send to his friend;
and, after admiring the prudent exactness of
the merchant, and his laconic style in e
numerating the qualifications which he in
sisted on, he endeavored to serve him to* his
mind ; and after many inquiries, he judg
ed he had found a lady fit for his purpose,
in a young person of reputable family, but
no fortune, of good humor and of a polite
education, well-shaped and more than tol
erably handsome. He made (he proposal
toher as his friend had diyected ; and the
young gentlewoman, who had no substaqce
but from a cross old aunt, who gave her a
great deal of uneasiness, accepted it. A
ship bound for that island was then fitting
for. Rochelle ; the gentlewoman went on
board the same, together with the bales of
goods, being well provided with all neces
saries, and particularly with a certificate
in due form endorsed by the correspondent.
She was also included in the. invoice, the
last article of which runs thus :
Jtem —A young gentlewoman of twenty
five years of age, of the quality and shape
and conditioned as per order, as appears by
the affidavits and certificates she has to
produce.”
The writings which were thought neces
sary for so exact a man as her future hus
band, were, an extract of the parish regis
ter ; a certifidate of her character, signed
by the curate ; an attestation of her neigh
bors, setting forth that she had for the space
of three years lived with an old aunt who
was intolerably peevish, and had not dur
ing all that time given her said aunt the
least occasion of complaint ; and lastly,
the goodness of her constitution was certifi
ed, after the consultation by four noted
physicians. Before the gentlewoman’s de
parture, the Parisian correspondent sent
several letters of advice by other ships to
his friend, whereby he informed him that
per such a ship he should send a young
woman, of such an age, character, and
condition, &c., in a word, such as he desir
ed to marry; The letters of advice, the
bales, and the gentlewoman came safe to
port ; and our merchant, who happened to
be one of the foremost on the pier, at the
lady’s landing, was charmed to see a hand
some person, who, having heard him called
by his name, told him—
“ Sir, I have a bill of exchange for you,
and you know that it is not usual for peo
ple to carry a great deal of money about
thpm in such a long voyage as I have now
made. I beg the favor you will be pleased
to pay it.”
At the same time she gave him his cor
respondent’s letter, on the back of which
was written :
“ The bearer of this is the spouse you
ordered me to send you.”
“ Ah, madam !” said the merchant, “ I
never yet suffered my bills to be protested ;
and I assure you, this shall not be the
first. I shall reckon myself the most for
tunate of all men, if you allow r me to dis
charge it.”
“ Yes, sir,” replied she, “ and the more
willingly since I am apprised of your char
acter. VVe had several persons of honor on
board, who knew you very well, and who,
during my passage, answered all the ques
tions I asked concerning you, in so advan
tageous a manner, that it has raised in me
a perfect esteem for you.”
The first interview was in a few days af
ter followed by the nuptials, which were
very magnificent. The new married cou
ple were extremely W'ell satisfied with
their happy- union made by a bill of ex
change, which was the most fortunate that
had happened in that island for many
years.
From the Albany Cultivator.
MAKING AUGER HOLES WITH A
GIMBLET.
“,.My boy what are you doing there with
thqt gimblet ?” said I the other morning to
a flaxen headed urchin, who was laboring
away with all his might at a piece of board
before him. “ Trying to make an augur
hole !” was his reply, without raising his
eyes or suspending his operations.
“ Precisely the-business of at least two
thirds of the world, in this blessed year of
our. Lord 1840, is this making augur holes
with a gimblet;” I said to myself, as I
waked musingly onward.
Here is young A., who has just escaped
from the clerk s desk behind the counter.
He sports his mustaches; wears his hair
long ; has acquiring power of being shaved,
carries a ratan ; drinks champaign when
he can oommand an X to purchase a bottle
and treat a friend to a dinner ; talks large
of the price current all of western stocks
and profits of banking-; stands in his boots
two inches higher than Astor or Appleton ;
and speaks of foreign exchanges as would
Rothschild or Biddle. He thinks he is a
great man, when all others know he is on
ly making augur holes with a gimblet.
Mr. B. is a rabid politician. He has
labored hard at caucuses, at ward and
town meetings, has talked of the dear peo
ple till the words flow parrot like from his
lips, and has done a full share of the dirty
work of party for years. Office has been
the lure held out to lead him onw-ards, and
which has made him neglect his business,
spend his time in hunting up recruits, dril
ling the refractory, and qualifying himself
for bar-room argument and stump oratory.
He can settle the affairs of the nation in a
trice; diplomacy has no intricacies for
him ; he has shaken hands with the Presi
dent, and is a great man. He will soon be
used up, and cast aside ; and will then see,
as others now do, that he is chasing a jack
o’lantem, that he is making auger holes
with a gimblet.
There is Miss C., who is really a pretty
girl, and who might become a woman a
man of sense would be proud of. Now she
apes the ton in all things; reads exciting
novels ; goes to the opera, admires Celes
te’s dancing, has nearly ceased to blush at
the most indecent nudity, lounges on sofas,
glories in her idleness, keeps her bed till
noon, coquets with male animals as femi
nine as herself, imagines she is a belle, for
gets that her father was a cooper, lisps of
high life, and plcbian presumption, and is
in a fair way to ruin herself. All this
cwr.es of her belief that an augur hole can
y made by a gimblet.
/£ Mr. D., whom I have just passed, may
be put down as a distinguished professor of
the gimblet. He was a farmer. His lather
left him a fine farm free of incumbrance ;
but speculation became rife, fortunes were
made in a twinkling, and D. fancied “one
thing could be done as well as another.”—
So he sold his farm, and bought wild lands
in the prairies, and corner lots in lithogra
phed cities ; and began to dream of wealth
worthy of “golden Ind.” Work he could
not; it had suddenly become degrading.—
Who could think of tilling or being content
ed with a acres of land, when thousands of
acres in the broad west were waiting for
occupants or owner. D. was not the man
to do it, and he operated to the extent of his
means. At last the land bubble broke;
lithographed cities were discovered to be
mere bogs, and prairie farms, though the
basis ofexhaustless weath, worthless unless
rendered productive by labor. But D.’s
beautiful farm is gone, and as he is now
preparing on compulsion to become a pio
neer in the west, he feels that it is difficult
to make augur holes with a gimblet.
Mr. E. is the representative of quite a
class. He had his attention awakened to
the subject of religion, and obtained new
views of its importance and his own obliga
tions. Believing what cannot be disputed,
that love to God and good will to man, is
the only true source ofhappiness and feel
ing, as every benevolent mind must, a de
sire for the welfare of his race ho fancied
himself called to declare these truths to the
world ; and forsaking his lapstone, his an
vil, or his plough, became without delay an
expounder of the scripture, a self-delega
ted instructor of mankind. He forgot that
the age of miracles had ceased ; and that
the ability to teach must now be acquired
by the slow but necessary process of hu
man learning. lie begins to have misgiv
ings that he has mistaken his call ; and
will probably discover, when too late to
rectify the error, that he has spent the best
half of his life in trying to make auger holes
with a gimblet.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1840.
Savannah Republican.
Since this paper has come into the hands
of Messrs. Locke and Davis, we notice a
very striking improvement in its appear
ance, and editorial management. It is en
larged and beautifully printed, and well
merits the patronage of those who desire the
commercial news from our principal sea
port. It is particularly worthy of the sup
port of the Whigs, as being one of the first
(if not the first) paper in the State that de
clared itself for Harrison.
New York Election Frauds.
Our exchange papers from all directions
are filled with accounts of the investiga
tions which have lately taken place in
New’ York, relative to the election frauds
alleged to have taken place in 1838. Se
veral of the most influential and respect
able Whig citizens of New York are ac
cused by one J. D. Stevenson of having
been largely engaged through the agency
J. B. Glentworth, in importing illegal vo
ters into the city, from Philadelphia. The
deposition of Stevenson is contradicted by
those of Glentworth and others; and the
only conclusion we can come to, after wad
ing Airough the mass of testimony, is that
one party or the other has sworn to a false
hood, and perhaps both—for both parties in
New York, may defy the world to beat
them in political rascality.
The Whig papers assert, with agood deal
of plausibility, the whole matter is a hum
bug—the “last card” of the Van Buren
party ; and the circumstance that for two
years the affair has been permitted to lie
dormant, and was brought up lately upon
the eve of the Presidential election seems
to favor the assertion. We do not think it
of sufficient importance to the people of this
section to justify filling our paper with the
tedious details of the investigation, especi
ally as it it is one of those things that will
interest nobody now that the elections are
over.

Presidential Election.
GEORGIA.
In 80 counties the Harrison majority is
8,323, a gain since the Oct >ber Election
of 4,2ss—Hurrah lor us.
PENNSYLVANIA,
Has probably gone for Harrison by a very
small -majority. The Whig papers claim
a majority of from 400 to 600. The Van
Buren papers express confidence that the
State will give its Electoral votes to their
Candidate. They are whistling to keep
their spirits up. Nothing can be known
with certainty until the Official Returns as
received, which will be by our next week’s
paper. If this State has gone for Harrison,
it has done better than we expected.
NEW-YORK.
In New-Yoi‘k city the Locofocos have
1
succeeded by 1,110 majority. Few of the
counties heard from. The Stutc is consid
ered safe for Harrison by about 15,000
majority.
NEW-JERSEY.
The Whigs have carried this State, the
returns which have been received, show a
gain on the October Election of 779.
VIRGINIA.
Out of one hundred and twenty-one
counties in the State, sixty-seven have been
heard from, giving Harrison a majority of
1,021.
OHIO,
Has of course given her Electoral vote
to Harrison—majority about 20,000.
CONNECTICUT,
Has thrown her vote for Harrison.—
Majority, 6,385 —all the towns heard from
but five.
MAINE.
The returns from Maine, so far as re
ceived, are favorable, to the Whigs. Their
vote has largely increased since the Elec
tion for Governor.
Horrid Tragedy.
We learn, (says the Southern Chronicle,)
by letters from Edgefield Court House, that
that village was, on Friday last, the thea
tre of a bloody and disgraceful outrage,
which resulted in the death of an amiable
and promising young man named Byrd !
The facts which led to this dreadful result,
we understand, are the following :
It appears that a difficulty has existed for
some time between Colonel Lewis Wig
fall and Preston Brooks, Esq., of Edgefield,
which had been partially healed by the
mediation of mutual friends, but that an
imprudent publication opened again the
fountains of bitterness. During a tempo
rary absence ofPreston Brooks, his father,
Colonel Whitfield Brooks, answered the
publication of Wigfall. The consequence
was, a challenge from Wigfall, which was
declined by Colonel Brooks, for cause as
signed. Wigfall, on receiving his answer,
sent a note to Colonel Brooks, stating, that
he should post him as a scoundrel and cow
ard at four o’clock that evening. Colonel
Carrol and Thomas Bird volunteered to
call on Wigfall and. request him to defer
the posting till Preston Brooks came home,
as he was the proper person to protect his
father ; but by the time they arrived at the
Court House, Wigfall had put up the pa
per, and stood on the Court House steps to
defend it, armed with a pair ofduelling pis
tols. Bird intimating his intention of tear
ing it down, when pistols were drawn by
both him and Wigfall, and both fired with
out effect. Bird drew a second pistol, and
fired without effect again. Wigfall then
returned his fire, and his ball entered the
right shoulder of ‘Bird, taking a direction
over the upper part of the chest, cutting his
wind-pipe, and lodging in his left breast.
He lingered until Sunday morning, in
great agony, when his spirit took its flight.
