05” The Superior Court, of this county,
Judge Cone, of the Ocinulgee Circuit, pre
siding, has been in session during this week.
Over 300 cases, some of them very im
portant, went to judgement on Monday.—
Quick work that!
05* Hon. F. W. Pickens, of South Caro
lina, has announced to his constituents, that
he will not again be a candidate for Con
gress.
05” Imprisonment for debt (except in
fraudulent cases,) has been abolished by
the Legislature of Pennsylvania. Con
necticut and New-Jersey have also abolish
ed imprisonment for debt.
0 3“ Progress of the Ball. —The Whigs
of Vermont held a Convention on the 6th
instant, about. 800 delegates being present, 1
and nominated Henry Clay for the Presi
dency.
05” The Loco-locos are crowing mighti
ly over the Louisiana Election, and claim
ing a victory in that State. From the late
papers it appears that the Whigs have e
lected 34 members to the House of Reprc
’ senlatives, and the Locos 26 ; the Senate
consists of 9 Whigs and 8 Locos. So that
there is a majority of 9 on joint ballot. We
hope to hear of many such Democratic vic
tories.
The Issue.
We are clad to find from the electioneer
ing letter of Governor McDonald to Mr.
Bateman, which we published two weeks
since, and from other manoeuvres of the
y Democrats, that they are disposed to make
an issue for the people of Georgia, between
the Central and United States Banks. Wo
have no doubt as to what the decision will
be, for we believe that not only the Whig,
party, but the most intelligent among the
Democrats, are in favor of the United States
Bank. We hope then that all the political
battles to be fought from this time to the
next Presidential election, will be upon the
i question to the people “which will you
| have to serve you, a sound National Bank
or a corrupt State institution ?”
We object, however, to the chcatery and
[ falsehood which attempt to draw from the
fate of the United States Bank of Pennsyl
vania, an argument against a National In
stitution. Gov. McDonald in speaking of
Iwhat he calls “ the late Bank of the United
States,” says, “Widows and orphans,
whose estates were vested in its stocks,
have been plundered of all they possessed,
and left pennyless upon the world. This
is truj, as suffering thousands can now at
test.” No one knows better than the Gov
ernor, that this assertion, applied to a Na
tional Bank, is false. No one has ever lost
a single cent by the U. S. Bank. It was
prosperous and flourishing—its bills were
equal to gold in all parts of the country,
and its Stock was above par in value
when that first-rate democrat, Gen. Jack
son, thoughffit to destroy it, contrary to the
wish of the people, and to their will ex
pressed by their representatives. A char
ter was then obtained from Pennsylvania ;
i it became a State Institution under the
j name of the United States Bank of Penn
sylvania, and bore a great resemblance to
I the Central Bank, with none of the charae
! tcristics of a National Institution ; furnish-
ing.no currency to the country at large, and
being totally disconnected from the Gov
ernment. Governor McDonald would be
right in saying that many widows, - &e.
were robbed by that State institution, in the
same way that the Central Bank is robbing
| the people now to enrich a few pampered
I office-holders in Milledgeville; but in in
-1 sinuating or affirming that these evils were
caused by the same institution vetoed by
Gen. Jackson, he promulgates what he
knows is not the truth, and shows the cha
racter of his boasted Democracy and the
li^. respect he has for the intelligence of
the people by attempting to impose on them
| with such a bare-faced humbug.
I Not one left.— The Tallahasse Sentinel
I I says—“ There is not in all Florida at this
II time a bank in existence.” The Jackson-
1 1 ville Bank has changed its residence, and
H> Know in New York-
05” By reference to our advertisements,
it will bo seen that a good opportunity is
given to our citizens to acquire a true know!,
edge of the History of Poland. The history
of that country is not so well known as that
of other nations of Europe* Her ancient
grandeur, as well as the exploits & sacrifi
ces of her patriots, with theirthousand noble
and warlike deeds have passed away—by
some unheard of and by others forgotten.
We hope that this attempt to rescue from ob
livion a portion of this very interesting histo
ry may meet With generous encouragement.
Wchh and Marshall again. —Report says
that Marshall seeks another shot.— N. Y.
Express.
If he does, we hope he may get a shot that
will settle the quarrel for this world as far
as he is concerned.
Applying for the “ bribe .”—Gov. Mc-
Donald has made application to the depart

Augusta Chronicle.
The editor of the Louisville Journal says
that Col. R. M. Johnson, during bis late
ride from Georgetown to that city, remark
ed in the stage coach, in the presence of
the passengers, that, next to himself he was
for Henry Clay,for the next President.
Mr. Botts publishes in Saturday’s Intel
ligencer, a letterdenying the misstatement
of the Madisonian, that his charges against
Mr. Tyler had been submitted to a Whig
caucus. He declares this an unqualified
falsehood, denies having attended a Whig
caucus for several months, and says that his
charges have not been submitted to any por
tion of the party, and that the proposed
movement is wholly and solely his own.
THE TARIFF.
The Charleston Patriot of the 20th says
—“Wo understand from a gentleman who
left Washington Saturday morning, that in
a conversation with a distinguished South
ern Senator, he was informed by him, that
an infbrn.ii 1 compromise had been entered
into the day before, by which it was under
stood that the Senate would speedily pass
the Tariff bill, in the form it came from the
House, striking out the Distribution clause,
that the votes of sufficient numbers of the
Western members would be so changed as
to secure the passage of the bill without
that clause, and that then the President
would approve it. The Land Distribution
bill would then be introduced separately
from the Tariff bill, and decided on its own
merits.
It will be recollected according to the
bill, as just passed the House, that it will
be on the Foreign and not the Home valua
tion the duties will be assessed, the foreign
valuation to be ascertained by the collec
tors from the wholesale prices at the ports
whence shipped, the invoice to be used only
as assisting, by comparison, to form this val
nation, and not, as the basis of it; that the
duties will be payable in cash with the ben
efit to the importer of warehousing, he pay
ing the government storage and giving it
the option of selling the goods by outpry,
and deducting from the sales the amount of
duty and all expenses attending such sales,
if the duties are not paid on importation this
side of the Cape of Good Hope in 60 days,
and beyond it in 90 days.
• GOOD IDEA.
One of the delegates to the great Nation.
© ©
al Convention which put General Harrison
in nomination for the Presidency, makes the
following proposition, through the Lancas
ter Examiner and Herald.
“I propose that the surviving members
of that Convention -should, re-asscmble, in
the same place, at as early a day as practi
cable, and by a solemn protest against the
oase treachery of the man who has been
accidentally placed at the head of the na
tion, endeavor to prevail upon him to \a
cate the office which he is now. exercis
ing such deleterious influences upon all
the best interests of the country. 1 sin
cerely believe that this is a duty which the
delegates owe to the great cause of repub
lican liberty ; and although, for one, I
should find the performance of it attended
with some personal inconvenience—as well
as unspeakable mortification at the unhap
py necessity thus imposed upon us—yet as
it is the only redress we can now make to
our unfortunate constituents, for the lamen
table mistake which we then unwittingly
cbmmitted, 1 am prepared most heartily to
join my colleagues. inAhe effort to atone, as
far as possible, for the injuries thus inflict
ed upon our beloved country. I should
suppose that when the acting President finds
the large and respectable body of men,
who were instrumental in placing him
where he now is, solemnly and indignant
ly calling on him to surrender the trust
which he has so grievously betrayed, he
will for very shame comply with the re
quest.”
In case a general, meeting of the Dele
gates oh uid prove impracticable, it is Bug
s’ sted that all the Delegates of that Con
vention peak their sentiments of the con
duct ot John Tyler, through the Press. .
The Louisville Journal says: “If the
Legislature ol New-Hampshire persist in
refusing to district that State, the conse
quence will be that Congress will finally
proceed to district it; and, in the mean
time, New Hampshire will be unrepresent
ed in the branch of the national
Legislature. *
Let Congress district New Hampshire
and designate the time of her elections, and
the Whigs of the State, no matter how re
fractory the Loco-focos may prove, will go
to the polls and vote for their favorite can
didates. And the men who receive a ma
jority of the votes will be legally elected,
and they will take their seats in the Capitol
as New-Hampshire’s Representatives.
Mark that, New-Haropshire. And you
too, Alabama. And you too, Georgia ”
- fern the Macon Messenger.
From the charges made by the Federal
Union, and the parasitical papers of the
Central Bank, one would infer, that the
Whigs alone are responsible for the depre
ciation of the bills. Now the Locos boast
of being in the Majority, why do they not
exercise their power, and restore the credit
and character ofthoir pet ? Nine-tenths of
the Banks in the State are under control of
LcoO-loco directions, yet there is not a sin
gle Bank in the State that will receive the
bills of the Central Bank. The Judges of
the Superior Court are, with but three ex
ceptions, all Loco’s ; yet it is a general
practice, prevailing now in all their courts,
to require specie funds in discharge of ex
ecutions; while Loco-foco merchants, me
chanics, farmers and laborers, are just as
loth to take the hi!!” 55 tiio Whigs are.—
HltSe party Editors may be assured of one
fact—that “the home valuation” of these
bills is not to be regulated by their party
presses, or the windy letters of their politi
cal correspondents, however exalted may
bo their stations. With a circulation of
sixteen hundred thousand dollars, and not a
specie dollar in their vaults, and no credit,
they must rely for support upon some more
solid and stable prop, than party influence.
The days of the Bank, are numbered, and
all the concentrated strength of the democ
racy, cannot stay its downward course.
THE CENTRAL BANK.
The advocates of this institution have de- |
termined to place its claims before the pub- j
lie in the coming election, and make it a
question to be decided by the people. To
such a course we cannot object, for we wjsh
it decided, whether the people of Georgia,
are for a good or bad currency, whether
they are lor Specie paying Banks or for an
irredeemable, rotten currency, fluctuating
in value every week and leaving its holders
with no security that it will ever improve.
VVe have in the political divisions of the
State, arrived at a point, in our contentions,
that every one can understand and that is
whether the Central Bank shall besustain
by TAXING the people, or shall be pla
ced in a state of liquidation and wound up.
For sustaining the Bank, the Democrats
are using every exertion and in order to
carry their point, they are, as usual, en
deavoring to deceive the people, by repre
sentations without the shadow of a founda
tion. Already have some of the democrat
ic Journals asserted that the depreciated j
condition of the Bank at this time, is owing
to Whig Legislation, how far this charge
be sustained, the facts must decide. In our
next we will give a history of the Bank
from its incorporation, to the present time
and all the legislation upon the subject.—
With regard to its present condition Dr.
Fort and Gov. McDonald know the best,
while the people feeltho most.
It has been charged upon the Bank, that
the Directors have discounted notes, since I
the session of the last Legislature, in viola
tion of the law then passed forbidding it, and
as yet we have seen no denial of the charge.
Gov. McDonald in a late letter written to a
political friend inquiringof the truth of cer
tain reports he had heard against the Bank,
studiously aeoids giving any information
upon the subject of the loans, other than he
does not think their payment will be resist
ed. That is a matterof small concern, the
question is, were the lotyis made, and how
is it accounted for that the amount ofs3o
- was loaned to three individuals of Ma
con, upon their several promissory notes,
each endorsed by the other, in violation of
the charter. These are facts that the peo
ple have a right to have explained, before
they are asked to continue such an Institu
tion in existence. Not having the journals
of the Legislatureat hand, we arc compell
ed to postpone our remarks upon the Cen
tral Bank until next Week.— South. Whig.
From the Savannah Republican.
THE BANKRUPT LAW.
Under this merciful law, thousands in
other States have already been set free from
lie thraldom of misfortune, and enabled to
go to work without fearing that their efforts
will iie lettered by merciless creditors.—
Ho.v is it hero ? Not one ! The first ap
plicant has not yet passed the ordeal.
There is such a thing as sufficient strict
ness to guard against fraud, and yet no need
of protracted delay ? We do not therefore
wonder that there exists some little excite
ment in the up-country, among those who
looked with hope to the law, to find that
those appointed to its execution are, in point
of fact, shearing it of its virtues, throwing
obstacles in the way of its operation, ar.d
thus rendering its intentions more or less
ineffectual for “ relief.” Perhaps Govern
or McDonald’s system is the best, but there
are many who would gladly give this the
preference. In the northern district of
New-York, the expenses of taking the ben
efit of the act amount to $22 50. Here it
is near five times that. O ! tempora / O !
mores !
CHARLES F. MITCHELL.
In the Court of General Sessions in New.
York, 15th inst., this noted individual was
sentenced to three years imprisonment in
the State Prison. Mitchell stated that he
came to Ncw-York voluntarily, for the pur
pose of delivering himself up to the custo- j
dy of the court, and had proceeded as far as
Philadelphia his way, when he was ar
rested and brought on by process of law.
He now requested the court only to suspend
his sentence until he might make some dis
position of his effects, and what provision
remained in his power tor the support of
his family. He asked for nothing more—
for no living man was so anxious as himself
to see the end of this affair.
Ho stated that he had been doing busi
ness as a miller near Zanesville, Ohio, un
der his own name, and with the knowledge
of the Recorder and Judge Noah. Just be
fore the sentence was pronounced, and the
Recorder was addressing the prisoner, his
aged mother, dressed in Quaker style, came
into the court, and’ took he’ son by the hand,
holding it until they left the room together.
MitchellA: countenance wa? worn with
j sorrow, while his words and general de
| meanor were those of an humble and peni
tent man. His situation seemed to excite
the sympathy and compassion of every be
holder.—Philo. Gaz. 10th hist.

! The Washington correspondent of the
! New York American communicates the fol
lowing statement of the business done du
ring the long sessions oftho 26th and 27th
Congresses, respectively.
Statement of business done during the
long Session of the 26th Congress :
460 bills reported up to June 24th.

kmg Session of the 27th Congress :
5l l bills reported up to June 24th.
222 “ passed the House “

884 printed Reports of Committees.
The above is a comparative statement of,
| the progress of business in the House of Re- |
| presentatives in this Congress and tiie pre
-1 ceding Congresses. The House of Repre
sentatives in the last Congress (26th) did
more business and did it faster than any
that proceeded it. This shows you how
far the present Congress exceeds all others
in industry, fidelity, and merit.
In quality, the printed reports of tiie pres,
eat House surpass those of preceding Houses
even more than in quantity and number. 1 1
need but refer you to such as those oftho I
Committee of Way's and Means, Manufac- !
tures, Commerce, Public Expenditures, !
Revolutionary Claims, For. Affairs, ways A
means, &c. All these are without a par- I
allcl in preceeding Houses, for extent of
research and investigation, calculation,
compilation, study and composition.
This comparative view of legislative bu
siness is an authentic statement, drawn up
at my request in the office of the clerk of
the House of Representatives, where it was j
made up on the 20th of June, by the princi
pul Cltyk, from an examination of records. j
It lias been decided, by one of the Courts
at least, that bankrupts must pay postage.

j ‘he examination of the pupils, of Ricky Creek
I Acauemy on the 19th and 20th of July, respect
! fully present the following pmort.
j During the exercises before a large and re- 1
sportable audience, Classes were examined 111 I
Spoiling, Reading, Punctuation,Geography, Nat- j
iirai Philosophy, Arithmetic, Astronomy, CIIOIII- !
istrv, Botany, Moral Philosophy, English Gram
mar, Algebra, the Bible and Penmanship; in
all of which the pupils gave conclusive evidence j
that they practically as well as mentally under- j
1 stood the different branches of study which they
bad pursued. To particularize would seem in
, vidiotis, when all deserve an equal meed of ’
; praise. The select Orations delivered by the
: pupils during the exercises, augured well, for
j their luture efforts in that most important and
I popular art.
1 \ our Committee are decidedly of the opinion f
i judging from the proficiency manifested 011 the |
i present occasion ; that the comihon idea soprev- 1
| alcnt, that Academies located in the country do I
1 not afford facilities lor acquiring knowledge equal
I to. those situated in towns, is entirely erroneous ;
j and it we were to institute a comparison between ‘
the two, we would be constrained to give the i
I preference to country Institutions where like ad- i
vantages are enjoyed ; from the fact that the !
scholars are not. subjected to those temptations j
so incident to youths residing in town.s
We conceive that Mr. Foote, Rector of the in- |
stitution has been indefatigable in his efforts, to I
advance in learning those committed to his j
charge; and we cannot refrain from congratu- |
latingthe Patrons of the School 011 the addition- j
al facilities afforded by the philosophical, cheiu
| ical and astronomical apparatus obtained lor the
1 institution during the present year.
The exercises both days were concluded by 1
