Signed STEPHEN HEARD foreman.” The same Grand Jury bears honorable, and we wish it were more ample testimony, to the patriotism of two of the most ardent, brave and active leaders of the revolution, whose names, almost unrecorded in our an nals, and fast fading from the memory of tradition, yet deserve, and we hope will ob tain a conspicuous place in the History of Georgia, if that desideratum is ever to be had: “ We the Grand Jury from the Evidence of John Crutchfield respecting the Conduct of Colo’s Dooly & F’ickens in sending said Crutchfield into the British Camp as a Spy after the most Strictest Scrutiny are of O pinion that the said Dooly & Pickens did it with an intent of serving their Country and therefore their conduct is highly approved of by us.” The battle of Kettle Creek, remarkably bloody in proportion to the numbers engag ed, was fought about six months before this Court was holden, between a party of Brit ish and Tories from North-Carolinay who were on their march to Augusta, tpid the Whigs under Colonels Pickens andDooly. The British were defeated with gfeat loss. How it happened that the proceedings of the American leaders before the fcattle, came within the province of the Grind Jury, we are unable to discover. The spot where the batfle was fought is about 10 miles from Washington, and we are informed that many relics of the battle are still to be found there. There is a gap of some two or three years in pur record, according to it the next Court was held October 29, 1782 ; at which there were present five Assistant Judges, the Court being constituted of these and a Chief Justice. This latter was at that time the Hon. George Walton, member of the revolutionary Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He appears at this time to have had some quarrel with the Executive of the State, for we find the following between the Assistant Justices and himself, on the Minutes—they “Ordered that the Sheriff wait on his honor the Chief Justice to know whether he intends to take hi:, s ;• Chief Justice of this Court.

We hope our design of making farther extracts from these old rec ords, will not be unacceptable to our read ers. “The Honourable Chief Justice delivered the following charge to the Grand Jury : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, Fourteen or fifteen years ago I several times roue over this country, when it was Wilderness and nothing to be seen but the savage and his Game of the Woods, the In dian line being soon after mooved further out, it began to settled, and altho’ it has been Interupted bv a seven or Eight years war in which the first settlers greatly d.s tinguished themselves, it has increaced in number, strength and cultivation to an as tonishing degree, this rapidity of settlement is an Inoontrovertable proof of the Good ness of the climate, the soil and Naviga tion, as it has been made in the face, of al most insuperable dificulties; satisfied there fore with the excellency of your country, your Grand Object should be to Govern it well, and much depends upon a proper be ginning.

GEORGE WALTON. Washington, the 2d November 1784.” Augusta Chronicle of March 10</f. FATAL AFFRAY. The wonted quiet of our city was dis- I turbed on Monday night, by an affray, the | result ofwhich was as melaneholly as its consequences were fatal. The substance of the facts, as developed on the investiga tion by a jury of inquest are—that a quar rel had taken place some short time previ ous between Mr. Thomas Hutchinson, and a Mr. McMillan, an engineer on the Geor gia Rail Road, which created so much ill feeling, that imprudent remarks ami threats were made, the result of which was that both went armed for a meeting, which took place in Broad street about 11 o'clock on Monday night, when McMillan accosted rd assaulted Hutchinson, a short fight en ed, in which Hutchinson stabbed McMil lan, of which he died in a few minutes.— We forbear farther comment, as we under stand that Hutchinson will deliver himself up, and the matter will undergo a judicial investigation. The following verdict was returned the jury of inquest: “That the deceased came to his death by a wound inflicted in the left side with a knife, in an affray with Thomas Hutchin son.” From the Savannah Republican. CENTRAL RAIL ROAD BANK. We publish this morning a statement of the affairs of this Institution from which it fully appears that it is justly intitled to the entire confidence of the public. There are very few banks that can make .so good ashowing as this, in the State or out of it. Its suspension is owing not to a large circulation, which only amounted on the Ist inst. to a little more than SIOO,OOO an amount already much reduced, but to the temporary inability to meet some pres ent payments. We are informed that the circulation will all bet absorbed in six or seven months by the payment and reduction of her dis counted notes, and by receipts for freight, &c. upon the Rail Road. Under these circumstances it seems to us very unfortu nate thatthese notes should suffer the slight est depreciation for any purpose whatever. If we remember right the notes of the Georgia Rail Road Bank, were received on deposit by the Augusta Banks, when the mother institution at Athens had suspen ded with a circulation of $900,000. Her circulation was so rapidly reduced by pay ments made to the Road that no inconven ience was felt to the note holders, and it re quired but a few months to place the Bank on the best possible footing. So rapidly is this process of a reduction going or. with he Central Rail Road Bank, that a single firm in this city has often paid for freights $2009 per week. It would be a happy i hing if the other banks of the state had as , nun and effectual means of withdraw in.'; their circulation as the Central Rail Ri id Bank. But it is sufficient for bill holders to know that the Bank exhibits re sources amounting to $513,100 against li abilities of only $! 91.000 in order to be ■evinced that rii- • \ ought not to sacrifice th-- fraction of a farthing in parting with ‘.heir notes. The only thing against the Bank or Rail Road isthat the word Central is applied to either. The infamy of the Central Bank has communicated such a bad odour to every thing pretending to cen trality, that it is an unfortunate appendage. Many persons besides, might mistake and do mistake one for the other. We do not like the name Central Rail Road, Georgia Rail Road, &c. Such names seem to claim a universality of character, which the pub lic do not accord to these corporations. With the public at large, the Central Rail Road is the the Savannah and Macon Rail Road, and the Georgia Railroad the Augusta and Athens Road, &e. THE CURRENCY. While waiting at the Post Office the other day, we heard one of our Mer chants ask a friend from the interior, who it appears had bought several hundred bales of cotton in Macon and brought them here for sale, how he expected to come out with his speculation ? “I hope,” said our friend from the coun try, “that I shall be able to turn the Dem ocratic into Whig currency, which is all I expected to do.” “What do you mean by that?” “Why, I bought the cotton with Central Bank notes, and if I can sell it for the same amount in Savannah funds I shall be satis fied.” “But how did you got the Central Bank notes?” “I bought them in Augusta at from 10 to 15 per cent discount.” “O, I see! You bought money at a large discount and paid it out to the .planters at par for their cotton, and now you sell the cotton for specie currency, and thus you make 15 per cent by the operation. Well that is what I call doing a pretty lair busi ness ! But, my friend, how do the planters like this?” “I have no trouble about that part of the business, as Governor McDonald and the rest of the Loco Foco leaders in this State have made the people believe that this is a relief measure .” “Well I think it is a “relief measure” with a vengeance. That is, it relieves the planterof 10 to 15 per cent of his honest earnings! But how long do you think it will be before the planters discover how much they are cheated by this operation? ’ “(J! God bless your simple heart,” said our country friend, it is no matter how soon they see into this trick, as the Governor and his co-leaders will have another humbug ready by the time they begin to see through this. Don’t you see that there is a move ment already on this subject? The Gov- ] ernor has found that the people are begin ning to be dissatisfied with my mode of re lieving them, and has put the party machi nery in motion to get an extra call of the Legislature, being afraid that unless he does I something while he has a majority, that the f Fall elections will turn the tables again? What the next humbug will be I am una ble to guess, but when it comes I shall try to make the best of it, as 1 am doing now. We left, ruminating with a heavy heart on what we had heard; and as we went, ! asked ourselves when will the reign of Demagogueism be over? — Savannah lie- \ publican. The enemies of banking institutions and a paper currency, are industriously draw ing arguments in favor of their favorite theories, from the monetary derangements I and troubles of the country. They reason ; and with great show of plausibility, that a system must be radically defective, under j which so much of mischief and of ruin can i be engendered. The appeal is one that comes directly home to every man, for the facts upon w hich it is grounded are obvious : to all, if not from actual and woful expert ence, at least from sight and observation. Upon many minds the mode of reasoning 1 has proved very effective, and in conse- f quenee not a few are now violent in crying down the Banks who were once in a way of j thinking diametically the opposite. They judge of the system by its operation, w ith out stopping to enquire whether the present effects are legitimate or the result of causes other than the natural working of the sys I tern itself. There is no species of ratioci | nation, more specious and defective than that which argues against the use of a thing bv the abuse of it. The truth is, that the i best of things are liable to be abused.— j How many excesses have been committed ! in the name of liberty ? How many barbarities in the name of re- j ligion ! Yet because Jacobinism steeped France in bloody horrors and superstitions i kindled the firesofSmithfield, will it there- 1 fore be concluded that there can he no gen uine freedom or enlightened piety on earth? j In the same way do they argue, who would reject a paper currency altogether, on ac count of the mischiefs which late abuses have introduced. The system when proper ly regulated is acknowledged to yield inva luable facilities to any country in which it may have been established. Its efficiency : was fully proved during the incorporation of the Government Bank, both for the first and second term. But like all good things banking institutions when abused and pre verted from their legitimate line ofopera- S tion, turn to be very mischievous engines, | and commit as. much of evil as they did be- I fore of good. Thus has it been ever since ! the destruction of the United States Bank j removed the control and regulation power j that was necessary to restrain the State in- I stitutions, and keep them within their pro | per sphere of action. All the misfortunes now suffered were predicted at the time of | this false movement as its inevitableconse | quence. Under such circumstances, the ! reasoning is questionable if not fallacious, | that draws front the monetary derangements j and convulsions of the day, conclusions ad verse to the utility and beneficial tendency ofa paper currency. “THE DICTATOR.” Mr. Clay lias communicated to the Le gislature of K nturkv, now in session, his intention to resign his seat in the 11. S. Sen i ate, on the first of April next. In refer- j cnee to the public interests alone, we should | i regret this determination of Mr. Clay ; but so far as lie is concerned, we deem it an act of the highest wisdom. It has been for ; some time manifest that every act of Con- ; gress in opposition to the executive, or at; all open to attack, has been attributed to him whether he had any agency in it or not. j He has been represented as a Dictator : moulding the Legislation of that body, and even, by bis invincible personal influence, inducing members to vote against their own convictions of propriety ! This charge, to be sure, is a tribute to his ability and integ -1 rity, which any man might well covet, since it is impossible that any man. without these qualities, could exert such an influence, j Heretofore the decisions of Congress have been supposed to be too much influenced by Executive dictation —because the Pres ident is invested, with the power of “rewar ding his friends and punishing his enemies. But Mr. Clay has been charged with dicta ting to, and controling the action of that body, while himself only one of the mem bers of Congress, the question will natural ly suggest itself, by what means has he ac quired it ? What art, what magic, what conjuration has he employed by which he has been enabled to usurp such control o j ver the judgement and action of the repre j sentative of the people? He has no office —no honors—no salaries—at his disposal. T/te President has ! IJow happens it that the President with all his patronage, has no influence in Congress—while Mr. Clay, without any of these “means and applian ces,” controls its action! If the allegation be true, it must be not onl y because the re presentatives of the people have no respect for the opinions, and no confidence in the integrity of John Tyler, while they deter to the opinions, and repose the most implicit ; j reliance on the views of Mr. Clay ; —but because they are too honest to be bought and sold! The friends of Mr. Tyler pay hut a poor compliment to that gentleman, and a very high compliment to the members of Congress, when they depict Mr. Clay a j mere Senator, with no patronage at his be stowal, as the Dictator to a majority ot Con gress, while he, the President, upon whose : j nod an army of officeholders and office ; ‘ hunters are dependent, can scarcely com ■ mend in that body, a-“corporal’s squad ! And after all, if Mr. Clay be a dictator, ho j is the only one sinci dn days of Ciiieinna tus, who has ever voluntarily resigned lie: Dictatorship. Nevertheless, we arc glad that he lias resigned, because while longer 1 continuance in the public councils could add nothing to Mr. Clay’s reputation, even his presence in Washington enabled bison omies constantly to misrepresent his actions and to place the falsest construction upon his position. When he shall leave Wasli-j ington, who then w ill be the Dictator? We should like to know.— Lynchburg Virgin- j tan. From the Savannah Republican. THE CONSTITU TION OF THE U- ‘ NITEI) STATES. His immaculate Majesty, General An-| duew Jackson, the greatest of the great, the stern Roman, with as many other ti- j ties as his warmest admirers chose to affix j to his name, construed the Constitution of | the United States “as lie understood it.” ! These are times w lien “Men rush in where angels fear to tread;” when the supremacy of the law and the sa cred character of safe precedents arc set at naught ; when written Constitutions are treated as if they were inscribed upon brass and were able to maintain their integrity against the ruthless attacks of every self ■ constituted Judge. That General Jack- I son himself should be excused in all things by his devout and loyal admirers, is not a ! matter of surprise. His apotheosis has been officially recorded in all the Demo- I cratic papers of the country, and his pos ! thumous fame may be said fairly to have preceded his departure to the other world. “ Uetat e'est moi,” said Louis XVI ; 1 take the responsibility. “ I construe the | Constitution as I understand it,” says Gen- j eral Jackson. “ The King can do no wrong,” say the adherents of royalty. “ General Jackson can do no wrong,” say his adher ents, if not by their language, yet as plain ly by their acts as can be. Mr. Lumpkin, it seems, is of the Jackson school, although we do not know whether he was one of his j supporters or not. He has imitated the j “old Hero” to a nicety, although he does ! not condescend to explain how it is that a Constitution which declares that Congress, shall enact a uniform law of Bankruptcy j has been violated. We have made these 1 remarks in order to introduce the following j interesting correspondence : Savannah, 16th Feb. 1842. Sir;—You have been appointed by the ] District Court a Commissioner under the ! “Act to establish a uniform system ofßank j ruptcy throughout the United States, and I am instructed, by the Judge, to request i vour acceptance of the Office, and co-ope | ration in carrying the Act into effect. Should you accept the appointment, you I will swear, before a Judge of the Superior or Inferior Court, to the affidavit on the Ist j page, and return it duly to me. Your ob’t servant, GEO. GLEN. Col. Joseph 11. Lumpkin, Lexington. (answer.) Lexington, March Ist 1842. Sir :—Having, as an Attorney, taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, I feel constrained to decline the appointment tendered me thro’ you by the District Court, believing .is 1 Jo, that the Act to establish a uniform sys tem of Bankruptcy throughout the Uni ted States violates the spirit although not perhaps the letter of our national compact. Verv respectfully, Your oh’t servant, JOSEPH H. LUMPKIN. Mr. Geo Glen, Savannah. The Gentleman at Church may be 1 known bv the following marks : 1. Comes in good season, so as neither to interrupt the pastor or congregation by a ; late arrival. 2. Does not stop upon the steps or in the portico, either to gape at the ladies, sa lute friends, or display his colloquial pow- I ers. 3. Opens and shuts the door gently, and I walks deliberately up the aisle, and gets to j his seat as quietly, and by making as few j people remove as possible. 4. Takes his seat either in the back j part of the seat or steps out into the aisle when any one wishes to pass in, and never j thinks of such a thing as making people j crowd past him while keeping his place in the seat. 5. Is always attentive to strangers, and I gives up his seat to such ; seeking another for himself. 6. Never thinks of defiling the house of God with tobacco spittle, or annoying those who sit near him by chewing that nauseous weed in church. 7. Never, unless in case of illness, gets up and goes out in time of service. But it necessity compels him to do so, goes so qui etly that his very manner is an apology for the act. Does not engage in conversation before commencement of service. 9. Does not whisper, or laugh, or eat fruit in the house of God, or lounge. 10. Does not rush out of church like a tramping horse the moment the benediction is pronounced, but retires slowly in a noise less quiet manner. 11. Does all he can by precept and ex ample to promote decorum in others.

Good. — \ poor fellow who had spent hundreds of dollars at the bar of a certain groggery, being one d.iv fault and feeble and out ofehaiige, asked the landlord to trust him w ith a glass of liquor. ” No, was the surly reply: “1 never make a practice of doing such tilings.” The poor fellow turned to a gentleman who was sit ting by, and whom he had known in better days, saying, “ Sir will you lend me six pence ?” “ Certainly,” was the reply.— The landlord w ith alacrity placed the de canter and glass before him. He took a pretty good horn, and having swallowed it and replaced the glass with evident satis faction, he turned to the man who had lent him the sixpence and said—“ Here sir is ! the sixpence 1 owe you : 1 make it a point degraded as I am, always to pay borrowed j money, before J pay my grog bill. ” \ From the Selma Free Press, bill inst. HORRIBLE STEAM BOAT DISAS TER ! We have to record one of the most ap- i palling steam boat accidents in our own j State, that has recently occurred. The ! steamer North Star, on Saturday last, when about 12 miles from Tuscaloosa, on her downward passage, burst her boiler, with a terrible explosion, utterly demolishing the ! cabins in front and precipitating into eterni ty eight or ten of her passengers and crew 1 Horrible as w’as the scene, the worst was yet to come. The boat was soon enve! -p ed in flames, and, rendered unmanageable by the accident, rushed on her way in full speed. In this fearful extremity, two of the passengers (Tlios. Maxwell, Esq. and Col. I McPherson, of Tuscaloosa,) on her striking | the bunk at a bend of the l iver, succeeded j in lashing the boat to the shore, hut not un til several others had perished in the flames! Many too, were frightfully mangled by the j explosion, some of whom are not expected to recover. The captain, pilot, and other officers of the boat, were blown up by the bursting of the boilers ; and the names ot j the individuals who perished are unknown. At least 15 lost their livis, eitli r by the explosion, by the flames, or by drowning ; I and of the 8 or 10 severely injured, several ! are not likely to recover. The ladies and j children were saved, their cabin being but j slightly affected, comparatively, by the ex -1 plosion. Capt. Parham, Col. C. D. Con ner, and Mr. Fuller, a clock pedlar, are | all whose names arc yet known, of those j who perished.
