WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1842. OCT We refer our readers to Governor Mc- Donald’s letter to Mr. Echols—from which it will be seen that no further hope can bo entertained of an extra session of the leg islature to relieve the pecuniary distresses of the people of this State. Ofjr We received on the lirst of April, a poetical communication from Goose Pond, entitled the “Old Maid’s Lamentation.”— Were it on another subject, we would glad ly publish it—hut as we have a very great liking for an old maid, (that is, not for any one in particular, but for the whole class— we would not offend them on any consider ation, and we wish there were more of them iin the world) we beg leave respectfully to decline publishing it,and we are sure our Goose Pond correspondent will excuse us on account of our personal predilections. (Kr We have received the first number of “The Orion” anew publication, being a continuation of “Georgia Illustrated” in a magazine form. It is embellished with a beautiful view of Tallulah Falls and con- j tains many interesting and well written ar ticles mostly by southern writers. It is highly deserving of” the patronage of the public. Mr. Clay’s Retirement. On the 31st. uli. Mr. Clay took leave of the Senate in an eloquent and impressive address. The scene is described to have i been very affectirig—political foes uniting with his friends in warm expressions of per sonal esteem and of regret for his depar ture. Mr- Crittenden, the Senator elected from j Iventuckey to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Clay, appeared and took his seat.

This news is corroborated by the passengers of the Apalachicola. Crescent City. BANK SUSPENSION. The old Bank of Columbus suspended specie payments yesterday. From all we I can learn, sho has exhausted her available means in trying to hold out, and gives up j to the fate of” her sister institutions of the I city, after a desperate struggle. We have no particulars ; in all probability she will , not try to resume again, hut go on as fast j as possible to wind up her affairs, and pay j as far as she may be able. The extent of her ability we do not know, but are of the opinion it is not one whit greater than that of the Planters Mechanics Bank—per haps not so great. — ColumbusEnq. 31 slu/t. MONEY RECOVERED. We understand that six thousand dollars | of the St. Mary’s Bank notes, stolen on the j 22d February last, has been recovered.— The thief was a young German, by the name of Anton Aschrot, late of New York, lie made his way to Texas, and after his arrival there sent back the above amount to New Orleans, where it was attached.— There is a probability that about fifteen hundred dollars more will bo recovered in specie and a check on New York, for a part of the balance, not recovered, had been exchanged. The whole amount stolen, it will be recollected, waseightthou sand one hundred and twenty dollars. Savannah Republican. Central Rail Road <s• Banking Company. —At a meeting of the Directors oi'this In stitution, held at their Banking Room yes terday, R. R. Guyler, Esq. was el cted President of the Company, (after having first been chosen a Director,) to fill the vacancy caused by the death of W. W. Gordon, Esq. George J. Bulloch, Esq. was elected Cashier.— Sav. Rep. HORRID TRAGEDY. Murder of an Actor. —The Mobile Ad vertiser of the 26th says : A most horrible and fatal tragedy was enacted at the Thea*. tre last night. After the curtain had drop ped at the conclusion of the first piece, a qifarrel ensued behind the scene between Mr. Ewing and Miss Hamblin, both attach ed to the Theatre, in which the latter plun ged a dagger to the heart of Mr. Ewing, which caused almost immediate death.- — After the perpretation of the awful (feed, M iss Hamblin made her escape by jump ing out at the window, and at 12 o’clock last night had not been arrested. She left in hgr theatrical attire, dressed as a page. In both the Savannah papers we find the : following exposition of the view taken by Mr. Lamar of the proceedings of the friends of Texas at that place. The feelings of the citizens of this country are enlisted on the side of Texas. Many of the Texians are our friends, formerly citizens of the United States, and some of them connected with us by consanguinity, but, notwithstanding, the view taken by Mr. Lamarof the subject will have to be admitted to be proper, just, and becoming a citizen of the United Stales, though the promptings of the best feelings of the human heart may lead us to act oth erwise.—Constitutionalist. “ Mr. G. B. I ,amar requests us to say that he cannot complain of the use of his ! name by the friends of Texas at their mect- I ing on Tuesday evening, because he for- I inorly engaged ardently in their cause, and they were not aware of any change of his opinions on that subject. “ Time, reflection, and a more enlighten ed conscienco, convince him, however, that any interference witli the war in Texas, by citizens ofone of the United States, is a vio lation of the laws of our own country, and inconsistent with our own interests and the doctrines we hold of like conduct in others towards us ; and he must therefore iii jus tice to himself, not only decline the appoint ment, but refuse to contribute to the object in any way whatever.” Important Legal Decision. —The follow ing decision of Judge Parsons, (now Secre tary of the State of Pennsylvania) was con firmed in July last by the Supreme Court in Maryland : A paid B at Harrisburgh, a debt of§>looo on the 4th of October, 1840, in bank notes of the Commercial Bank of Millington, Md. The notes were then current at the place of payment, and remained sountil the 19th of the same month, when it became know n at Harrisburgh that the bank had stopped payment and failed, on the 13th of October, being the day preceding the payment, as a foresaid by Ato B. The payment having been made in good Faith, and both parties ignorant, at the time thereof, tiiat the bank had failed. The Court held that the pay ment was a valid one, and the debt satisfi cd. A DECISION THE OTHER WAY. Mr. Justice Story, of Boston, had just de cided that a wife’s jewelry must be surren dered in cases of bankruptcy. In New York, one of the Judges decided that it must not; which is law? The case, as reported in the Courier, was as follows : The petitioner urged that ; iiis wife has a watch which he gave her some years ago, and other articles of jew elry given to her by other friends, but which the assignee claims as the property of his creditors ; that his two sons each of them have a gold watch purchased as a keepsake with money presented to them by a friend—that he contributed twenty-eight dollars each to the purchase of these watch es, over and above the money presented by their friend,but that the assignee also claims these watches. “ Judge Story decided that in the first point the sum claimed might bo taken into j consideration by the assignee in setting a part the §>3o9 allowed a bankrupt by law to be retained out of his estate, or that it might, with the approval of the District Judge, perhaps, be allowed as part of the necessary expenses incurrrcd in protecting and taking care of the property beiore it was finally transferred to the assignee. With respect to the watch of'his wife, as ■ it was bought with his money, it formed a 1 part of the personal estate, like any person i al property which she might have had pre vious to her marriage, and, of course, if the creditors claimed it, they were entitled to it and must have it. But that gifts presented to her by her personal friends for her own ornament and use, were not his to dispose j of, could not be attached by his creditors, and she could hold them. With respect to the watches of his sons, they were the prop erty of the sons, but as the money with which they were bought came in part from him, his creditors had a prorata interest in | them.— United States. AN IRON CHURCH. The little town of Everton, near Liver ! pool, contains a monument uniqe of its kind it is a church entirely made of cast iron.— This building is 119 feet long and 48 feet wide. The plates of which it is formed were cast in the foundry of the Messrs. Gae thome & Brothers, Liverpool, and are cov ered with ornaments in relief, in the gothic style. There is to he erected upon this church a steeple also of cast iron, of which the different parts have just been modelled. The increased facilities of making iron the raw material being so abundant in our country—by means of the hot blast and an thracite coal, will probably so reduce the price ultimately, that is use is likely to be materially increased. It will crc long su persede wood iii many departments of build ing.—Newark (N J.) Advertiser. THE • ‘iiLIFY OF TOBACCO. Ti. . ( is one hah": common to the coun j tries, ot northern Europe, which however loathsome and annoying to some, and how ever severely reprobated by others, is, it may be said, almost universal I mean the use of tobacco ; which , though apparently everywhere most freely indulged in by all classes, and even by both sexes, was not as it appeared to me, attended with those in jurious results which the denunciations it has received, in our own country, would have led me to anticipate. If this “ good creature” and “precious weed” as it was called, when first brought into vogue by Sir Walter Raleigh, were so deleterious as some would have us believe, it appears to me inconcivable, how we sho’d find the most vigorous constitutions and well developed forms among those very people where it so profusely employed, chiefly in the form of smoking. My impres sion'-in regard to the hftmfd climate and lo cality ofHolland, and it accords with obser vation there, is that its use is more or less prophylactic or preventative of the endomi al fevers of low arid marshy countries.— The moderate use of this weed, wo are in clined to think, may, under many circum stances, he not only harmless, if not also preventive and remedial. In France, its consumption is certainly on the increase, and in England, we should judge, that it is getting more and more in vogue. It is not our intention to dilate on j this disputed question ; but our experience leads us to the conclusion, that much more j censure has been cast upon our American Virginia plant than it merits. In one very i fatal and distressing form ofdiscase, to-wit, Laryngeal Phthisis, and IJronchisis, among public speakers, the fact is very clearly es tablished, that the moderate habit ofsinoking by the drain it accomplishes and its anodyne quantities, lias been eminently useful, at least, as a preventive, of that peculiar mal ady so frequent in the United States, e speci ally among the clergy.— Dr- Mott's Trav els. From the Federal Union. Executive Department, ( \ Milledgeville, 24th March, 1842. t| Dear Sir: Your letter informing me of the pecuniary distress of a large portion of the citizens Os Walton county, and the pre valent desire that the Legislature should be assembled sot their relief lias been re ceived, and I have spent much time in re flecting on the propriety of the measure.— No one sympathizes more sincerely than I do with the distressed, and none would step more readily to their relief. But situated as I am, 1 am compelled to view every side ofthecaso before I act, and not permit my own strong sympathies for the suffering to force me to an effort to aid them which might prove unavailing, and in that event, would only add to the general calamity. In IS4O, I saw the storm in embryo, and endeavored to crush it before its violence was felt. I stated to the Legislature the condition to which the people were likely to be reduced by the almost total failure of the cotton crop, and invited them to provide the means of aiding them. I was asked for a mode of relief. I submitted what I con sidered to be the most practicable ; and in formed them that if they should disapprove that, I would co-operate in any other they might suggest for the accomplishment of the object. I proposed, as you know, to borrow money on State credit, and lend it on the same interest paid by the State, to those whose necessities required it. This mode of relief was condemned by the Le gislature, and denounced by a part of the press, as unwise and impracticable. No other mode was recommended. An indus try and zeal in traducing the State credit, worthy of a better cause, were manifested by a portion of the pub!:? press, well calcu lated to destroy the confidence of capital ists, both in our honor and ability to pay. How different might have been the state of things in Georgia if this measure had been timely adopted and consummated. Geor gia had been punctual in the payment of in terest on her public debt; no State had ev er offered stock bearing an interest of 8 per cent ; and ifcapitalists had been encoura ged to confide in the integrity of the people of Georgia, instead of warned against a re liance of this sort, in the then condition of things, 2 or three millions of dollars might in all probability have been borrowed with out the slightest sacrifice. This sum, dis tributed among persons indebted, at an in terest of 8 per cent, payable in equal an nual instalments for five years, would have mitigated greatly the distresses we now j feel, if it had not wholly averted them. — After the adjournment of the Legislature, Ii received several communications, not in stigated by the press, asking me to reassern- I ble it and submit the same proposition to j the members ; and was told that since they j had returned to their counties and mingled J with their constituents, they would cotrio back instructed, and would carry out that or adopt some other measure. I did not feel justified to call them after having so recently acted on the subject. At the annual session in November last, the attention of the representatives of the people was again invited to the subject, with the remark that whether the crop of that year would make up the deficiency of the previous one, and render such a mea sure unnecessary, they coming liom all parts of the State would determine. I then stated that, the condition of the Central Bank was such as not to admit of its being used for the purpose, and that it was not to be expected that tiie State stock discredited as it was by our own citizens, could be sold. I distinctly informed the Legislature that if the cause which induced me to submit the matter to the Legislature at the previous session continued to operate, it would be their duty to ascertain if there were any practicable means at the command of the Government to give ellect to the measure without entailing a greater evil upon the country. The session passed and nothing was done. It is now said that if the Legis lature were assembled they would come in structed by their constituents. The same was said last spring to induce a call, but when the representatives assembled at the legal period for holding their annual ses sion, they came with these instructions, but the instructed portion were not strong e nough to adopt any measure. No change has taken place in the circumstances of the country since the adjournment of the Legis lature, the amount of the crop was then as certained, and the people are not now more embarrassed than they then were. Now what pretext is there for convening the General Assembly to submit to them a pro position that they had placed before them not five months ago, without any change in the condition of the country since ? There can be none. The consequence too, it seems to me, to debtors who have the misfortune to have judgments against them, would be fa tal. A proclamation for the convention of the Legislature, would be as a signal to judgment creditors, to urge the immediate collection of their debts. This they would ’ dr>. fearing the results of legislation ; and they would have ample time, for it could not be expected that less than two months would be consumed from lie dale ol the call j to the close of legislative deliberation. But were the Legislature to assemble, what could he done ! The power to pass a law impairing the obligation of contracts, is prohibited to the States by the Federal Constitution ; and a law abolishing or sus pending legal remedies does certainly im pair the obligation of contracts. It dimin ishes, lessens, makes worse, and injures the obligation; and this is what is meant by : impairing it. This provision of tho Con- ‘ j stitution of the United Slates was objection able to some of the great men who framed it, because it deprived the States of one of the most obvious means of relieving the people in times of great national calamity. The power of relief by this mode should rost some whore, and though there are but few occasions on which sound policy would require its exercise, there are some, like the present, when the calculations of mankind having failed to afford them a guide for tho future, sudden adversity comes upon all, that it would bo proper for the public au thorities to interfere to prevent universal j ruin. The Central Bank in its present condition, j can do nothing towards mitigating the se- j verity of the pressure. Its bills are now I at a discount. It has no means of redeem ing them except as payments are made on notes discounted, and to add to the circula tion, would diminish their value, render them less acceptable to creditors, and of course multiply demands for specie. This would be an expedient fatal to the debtor. It might put off the evil day, but it would add to the certainty of his destruction, for all the loss by depreciation would bo forced upon him. The distresses of the times are a costly illustration of the error of the policy of the State and General Government, in flooding ‘ the country with a paper currency, which is rejected by the creditor, in the time of the j debtor’s greatest need. It is manifold in j its mischievous operation. It swells to a fallacious and unnatural height the tide of apparent prosperity, it generates credit, stimulates speculation, holds out golden hopes to the adventurous, gives an artificial value to property, places the whole com munity- under the dominion of Banks and money holders, and puts it in their power to produce a sudden and tremendous revulsion in the affairs of men. The Constitution of the United States prohibits the States from making any thing but gold or silver coin a legal tender in payment of debts. Ought j it not then to be considered a fraud upon the people to exclude from circulation a I currency that will at all times certainly pay debts, and substitute one that may or may not, at the caprice of the creditor ! ] The Banks and money l lenders lend their j paper and demand specie, and this the Con- | stitution and law sustain them in, even ti - the paper become worthless the day after it ! is loaned, by the failure of the manufactur- ‘ er. The thing out to he changed. As long j as the Constitution makes gold or silver the j only legal tender in payment of debts, no j policy ought to be tolerated that will keep a supply out of the hands of the people. The value of property would be more uniform and real. Tltpre would be less indebted ness. There would be more comfort and happiness in the country. You sir, have lived long enough to know much of the de vastation committed by’ paper money- upon the country. You also know that in the days that specie was the principal circula ting medium, if men did not so suddenly ac quire fortune, their property was more val uable, and that the poorer classes of our citizens were not imrrassed by officers.— | Though a change of policy will not remove existing embarrassments, it will, l trust, 1 prevent the recurrence of the numerous e j viis that are now distracting society. It is to be earnestly hoped that the cruel prac i lice of demanding specie at legal sales will bo wholly abandoned, and that the greatest forbear ance will be shown on the part of creditors who sec their debtors striving to extricate themselves by honest, and laborious exertion. The men who are now generally most hardly pressed are those on whom the country places its strongest reliance in the hour of danger, and on whose strong hearts | and muscular arms the creditor would depend I for the protection of himself, family and property. \ This should move him to forbear. He has certain ly every motive to this humane course. It, is one that the country would commend, his conscience approve, and as long as that inestiinble injunc tion of Heaven, “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” remains unrevoked, lie would have the smiles of his Maker. 1 have flic honor to be Your ob’t servant, CHARLES J. MCDONALD. To Milner Echols, Esq. Monroe, Walton County- Old Deacon M was the only store keeper in a pretty little village ‘up country,’ and used to take great pleasure in catechi sing the youth who might visit his store. — One stormy day—business dull—the Dea con was quietly smoking by the side of a cheerful fire, when a ragged urchin enter ed, who seemed a fit subject on which the Deacon might exercise hisquestioning pow ers. The Deacon drew a long whiff-—then pulled out his pipe, and exhaling a • long column of smoke, called the lad to him ; and patting him on the shoulder, asked him— “My son what’s the strongest thing you know of?” The lad thought a moment, then scratch ing his bump of communicativeness through a hole in his hat, answered— “ Why I reckon maim knows; she’s tarnal strong herself; she can lick dad any time, and she said the butter I got here the other day was the strongest thing she ever seed yet —for that was so strongs/te could"nl hold it after she got it down.” Fanaticism. —Some of the persons in Hav erhill, Massachusetts, who signed the peti tion for the dissolution of the Union, are said to he firm believers in Miller’s phiophecy that the world will come to an end in 1842. They have taken their children from school considering it of no use Vq ed ucate them for so short an existence. From the Chronicle f Sentinel. AUGUSTA EXCHANGE TABLE. 1 SJ’ECIK BASIS.
