Hank o f the State of Georgia, i
Savannah, February 25, 1842.
■SX7” HERE AS a paper has been published in
* V the Savannah Republican of the 21st in
stant, calling-a meeting-of the Stockholders i .
this institution on the 27th day of April next.- —
Tho Board of Directors deem it due to the vast
majority of the Stockholders not connected with |
this movement, to express publicly its views in ;
relation to it.
In the opinion of this Board, it. is a duty incum
bent on the Directors cf every Bank, (derivable i
not only from its charter, hut from considerations
of good faith paramount thereto,) to hold its ai- j
fairs at all times open to the inspection and ex- !
animation of those whose interests are committed ;
to their custody. In this view of the duty which i
devolves upon it, this Board reiterates the cail
which has been made, and expresses the hope
that since it lias been made, it will be responded
to by a meeting sufficiently large to give a full
representation .to the interests, and a tail- expres
sion to the wishes of the Stockholders.
It therefore earnestly requests all who can at- •
tend, to be personally present, and those who can
by no possibility be in attendance, to send their !
proxies. The only evil that can fie (lie result of j
the contemplated meeting (othep&ian that which :
the agitation of the question at a time of general ;
depression and universal panic must necessarily
produce,) is the non-attendance of the Stock
holders, thus leaving the Interests of the Institu
tion in the hands ot cl few who cannot luily rep- 1
resent the interests ot the whole,.
To arrest as far as it can, the injurious conse- j
quences of which the call for a meeting of stock- j
holders at this time is productive, this Board !
deems it proper to allude more particularly to it.
At a period when the public mind is excited a
gainst all Banks, by reason of tho gross misman
agement of many of them in our country, any
movement of the kind contemplated, is calcula
ted to operate injuriously on this, or any other
institution : add to this consideration, which ap
plies generally to all moneyed institutions, the
tact, that heavy losses have recently accrued at
our branch ut Macon, which in a time ol unpre
cedented difficulty have been promptly met by
the Bank, and it will he perceived, that tiie move- :
went that has been made, is eminently calculated i
to injure this Institution, and when the circuin- !
stances attending on this call are duly consider- I
ed, it will be difficult to escape the conclusion,
that evil to a greater or less extent, may he its
consequence.
No one of the Subscribers to that document
has ever intimated to the presiding officer of this
institution, or to any member of this Board, a de
sire to have a meeting of Stockholders; the call
i sell has never been communicated directly to,
or been laid before this Board, and the first noti
fication given was the insertion of it. in the col
umns of one of the gazettes of this city. Such
course not only indicates a want of courtesy, but
exhibits a distrust, of the members of this Board,
which cannot fail, within the sphere of its influ
ence, to affect injuriously, tho interests of ihe In
stitution over which they preside, which distrust
was not necessary in effecting the call, and was
therefore entirely gratuitous.
VV hat motives have influenced to such course,
the Board leaves to tho decision of the public.
Resolved, That the foregoing be published in
the gazettes of Savannah, the Constitutionalist, 1

(APT MARRYATT.’
Some four years ago, some four or five
careless, vagabond young men were seated
in the bar-room of the Galt House, at Lou
isville, enjoying a social glass. Captain
Marryatthad been sojourning at Louisville
some davs ; at the time of which we write,
he was simply a sort of a lion ; alterthathe
became notorious. Although the Captain
was universally acknowledged to be ‘a good
fellow,’ who could ‘carry’ a large quantity
of liquor, and who‘treated liberally,’ yet it
was considered by some who were as fond
of a joke as any thing else, that lie might
be rather easily gulled. More than once
among those lie trail chosen to consider, lor
the nonce, as his intimate (fiends, he had
j been seen to take out his note book, and
j make sundry memoranda. The impres
-1 sion became universal, therefore, that on
his return to England he intended to write
a ‘Trollop book,’ hence many a one endea
j vored to furnish him with an extra item, so
t that when the gallant Captain started for
j home, he had just about as correct a knowl
j edgeofour people as when lie started (rom
j home. Mixed up with a variety of facts,
j he had gathered a still larger variety ot ab
j surdities, imposed upon him by wags ol
I j every grade and complexion.
While the lads, that were mentioned,
were luxuriating over their cigars, the Cap
tain entered the bar-room, accompanied by
one who had been his bosom companion
for some days, and who was known to love
a quiz as he loved his life. The latter per
sonage advanced to the party and said,
—‘ The Captain is anxious to see you play
that game of poker we spoke of to-night.—
He says he wishes to see a game in the
real south-western style. Now, keep stca
dv faces, go to the room, and 1 will see that
tho Captain is there.’
In about a half an hour, a singular crowd
might have been seen in one of the rooms.
Four sat at a table, each corner of which
was garnished withjust such a display ol
deadly weapons as iancy dictated ; all of
the players having provided themselves
with pistols and bowie knives. A warm
fire was in the grate, and the gamblers had
stripped themselves of coat and vest; ready
as it appeared for any encounter. As spec
tators of this game, Captain Marryatt and
his comrade were closely watching the
proceedings.
‘Now, gentlemen,’said one of the party,
holding up a pack of cards, ‘lt you are all
ready, we will begin.’
‘All ready for a set to,’ responded the
others.
The cards were dealt, and at it they went.
1 The luck seemed to change variously for
; some time. By and by a young man, who
was playing with remarkable coolnees,
j made a bet of five thousand dollars.
•1 will have to see that,’ said another,
j -and go you five thousand better.’
(k-.pt. Marryatt’s eyes began to open.
‘Very well,’said the first who bet, witii
| out changing a muscle of his countenance,
■l cannot run on this hand. 1 see your live
thousand and bet you twenty thousand dol
j larsmore.’
‘The divil you do? That’s a salty bet.
Draw it, Fred ; my hand is better than
your's, and l don't wish to steal your mon
ey. Let it be deckled on the original bet
ot’ five thousand.’
•1 have bet twenty thousand,’ said the
young man, (irmly, ‘and you can call it or
not, just as vou choose—this is no child’s
plav. to bet and back out.’
‘Very well,’ said the other, I ‘give you
a fair chance. 1 call the twenty thousand
and could win more if l chose to do so.—
There's my hand, four aces, and the best
in the pack.
‘Enough said,’ replied the loser, T am
satisfied. You have won thirty thousand
dollars ; come to the office, and 1 will give
you my check on the Hank of Louisville,
i have just the amount there, the last cent
: [ have in the world. The old man’s farm
!is all gone now. 1 have played enough;
j !;ovs, let us go and liquor.’ And thus the
j party broke up.
About a year after this occurrence, the
! Diary ofAmerica, by Capt. Marryatt, made
i its appearance in this country. Perhaps
!an extract from the second volume will
j gratify the reader :
‘White I was in Louisville I had the op
portunity of witnessing the coolness of A
rnerieans in gambling, and of justly esti
mating their characteristic recklessness of
temper. At the same time the utter bar
barity of some of their habits were fully
displayed. I was invited by a friend to look
in upon the proceedings of a party engaged
in a game of cards much played in the
South west, called ‘Poker.’ To my utter
astonishment 1 found them stripped almost
to the skin, like a gang of savages. Nor
was this all that appeared. On each cor
ner of the table they had deposited their
various weapons—dirks, pistols and bowie
knives—ready, as it appeared, for a bloody
; tight, should any dispute or mere difference
arise. Mv friend informed me that affrays
wore very common in these social parties,
i as h e fancifully termed them, and that he
! fully expected while we were present to
: see the brains of someone of the party scat
tered by a pistol, ora hole or two drilled
j through the body with a bowie knife. Iti
| less than one hour after this party met, one
of them (a young man about twenty-two
j years old) lost thirty thousand dollars.—
1 Carelessly observing that his last dollar
! was gone, got up Irom the table, and oooly
| asked his companions to go and take a
1 r i n !.- withbiw I afterwards ‘eajr.°d
