The Savannah Republican publishes from two New York papers, extracts, which it ut ters “lbr what they are worth, though contra dictory.” (>ne of these articles from the New York Express, contains a well meaning, but J inaccurate statement, of tire settlement with j’ the Phoenix Bank. This might, without fault, I have been published, for what it was “worth.” j The oilier lrom the Ilerald, we extract entire.’ “it is a well known ft cl, that in 1838, Geor-j via borrrowed from the Phumix Bank in tins 1 city *5300,000, payable at twelve month', for which ample individual security was given. On the maturity of the paper, every dollar was protested, and for the period of twelve months, no attention to the repeated demand for! payment was regarded. About two years, since, tire State, to its eternal disgrace, otiered j to the Phcenix Bank payment for this loan in i Augusta funds at par—then 10 to 1” per cent j discount. It not accepted, an intimation of an indefinite postponement of the payment of the same was given. iSince that period, a por tion of the amount has been paid and within a few days some $”0,000 more of tho debt lias been reduced, leaving about $ 140‘01X) or $150,000 of the principal unpaid.

SYNOPSIS OF THE BANKRUPT BILL. For the purpose of bringing the principal provisions of this bill within a small compass, and to facilitate an examination of it. We have, with some labor, prepared the following synopsis of it. This bill, it wi'l be recollect ed, passed the Senate some time since, and Las not yet been acted on in the House. Section 1. Enacts that a uniform system of Bankruptcy be established throughout the U. States, and that all persons owing debts, who shall by petition, setting forth a list of his or their creditors’ the amount, due each, together with an inventory of his or their property of any kind, verified by oath, apply to the proper court for the benefit of tins act, shall be deem ed bankrupts, and may be declared so by a de cree of such courts. All persons being mer chants or retailers of merchandize, all bank ers, factors, brokers, underwriters, or marine insurers, owing debts to the amount of not less titan $2,000, “” ue liable to become bankrupts, and upon petition of one or more of their creditors to whom they owe not less Than SSOO, be so declared in the follow imo* cases, to wit: whenever each debtor shall depart from the Slate of which he is an in habitant, with intent to defraud his creditors; or shall procure himself to be arrested or have Ins noods,*x.c. taken in execution; or shall j remove his goods, &c. or conceal them, to pre j vent their being levied on; or make any fraud ! ulent assignment of erre of his lands, goods: j itc.

Section 13. The proceedings in all cases of bankruptcy shall be deemed matters of record, but shall not be recorded at length. ’This sec tion also establishes certain fees to be charged by the officers. From the Federal Union. THE 300,000 DOLLAR DEBT OF THE CENTRAL BANK. Tliis famous three hundred thousand dol lar protested dehtol the Slate, to the Pioenix Bank of New York lias been paid oil'. Dr. Fort, the President of the Central Bank re turned a lew days ago, and deposited the State’s bonds fully receipted with ample and satisfactory acquittances thereon, in the vault of the Central Bank, The “ coupons ” of the bonds for the State’s forego debt have been paid in London, and they were also brought with him, and placed in the same sale and honorable location. The State and the Bank are thus relieved lrom the odium ot a protest ed debt, over which great regret has been felt. The innumerable statements which have been made respecting the State’s liabilities, and especially in relation to the debt to the Phoenix Bank of New York, together with the newspaper publications which have been made to mis.ead the public mind, renders it proper that a short statement of the facts of the case should be submitted to the people. The first (act to which we call the atten tion of our readers is, that the interest paya ble in London on the State’s bonds has been punctually paid. The Stale’s credit has never sufiered dishonor in reiaiion to these bonds. The second is—that the debt to the Phoenix Bank was contracted under an act ot the Legislature of 1837, assented to by Governor Giimer on the ‘2s;h December, 1337. The loan was ohiained the next year by F. I . Delauney , Thomas B. Stubbs and T<omas E ord, a board of D-rectors for the Central Bank, who were appointed by the same Chief Magistrate ; and that .Mr. V. B. Stubbs was tlie agent oi the L ink in negotiating tor tli is loan. It was dishonored and protested for non-payment in 1839, during the admin istration of the same hoard, and of the same Governor, and at a time when Mr. Delauney (lie then President of the Bank was in New York or had been there and thereabouts nei r 'y or quite three months endeavoring io negotiate tor the arrangement of settlement of the debt without a protest dishonoring the | credit of the State, but whose efforts were I iiu licctual. la the third place we stale this fact tl at t!;e piyment of this debt has t'-en tun do •••• ttie Cciurai Bank, under tin- diiection !’ t-,-.-1 present board of Directors appointed hy fiov- j enicer M.

These details are published in reply to the’ numerous charges oi ueoa-c. or uiauenii.m to j this debt. . They show conclusively, a cofilin-1 ual cliirrt on the part of the ptesent directors! of the Ceinrai I tank. These s!dements furinshfu us from the records of the bank, are not a matter ot ques tion, but we are moreover atUitorized f r om tne statements made by the President of the Merchants Bank who acted ns the agent tor the Central Bank, and by the President of the Plnnuix D ink, to say that these payments have been made in the most sausiucto:c man “the union of the states, ax > TIIE sovereignty of the states.” ner; evincing the highest regard for the hon or and credit of Georgia, by those who have succeeded in Its accomplishment. From the Journal ot Commerce. GEOH and l A . The President of the Central Bank of Ga. has recently been here for th'Epurpojc, among other tilings, of paying a tousideraUe debt which the Btate contracted S'une .time ago with the Phenix Bank of this city. This debt has been paid in full, and tiie interest on tiie fiber bonds not yet due. Tiie finances ol Georgia seem, upon the whole, to be in a very sale and prosperous condition. A friend who is intimately acquainted vvilh the facts, .has favored us with the lolloiving memoran dum : Previous to ihe commencement of the Wes torn and Atlantic Rail Iload, (in the i State ol Georgia had a full Treasury, Her I investments i •. hank stocks amounted to a ( mi;.ion o£dul!ars, and the Cenlr;;! Bank, her j own institution, had an addhimial capital of j nearly two millions. Her Gordon of the sur- ! her resources to nearly four m V, Hh :nis rceuieul ited caper! i isdcr the control of tiie Central Bank, it ik not Strange that the ieg’-buue .o! 183-? should have ordered that insiilut on io obtain a loan of $300,000 for one year and no longer. The sudden and great j fail in ihe price of cotton in Idoy and the un exampled -shortness of lee,crop < f 1310, will fully account for the difficulty which has hin dered the earlier payment of this debt. The same year (1533) in which the loan of $300,000 was ordered, the legislature pas sed an act authorizing the sale of $1,509,000 of her bonds having ihirty years to tun. Oi’ these bonds nearly $900,1-00 having been dis posed of, and now constitute the entire public debt of that State, no part of the interest of which has ever been allowed to lie over. The Western and Allantic rail road, which is intended to connect the cities of Charleston and Savannah with tiie Great Valley of the MhsLsippi, by lines of railroads’ 400 miles in length, is now in a state of forwardness, fully two thirds of the expense having been paid. St may require a raid-ion of dollars to com plete ttie Slate’s portion of these great lines. This is the only public work now in the con templation of the State ol Georgia, her citi zens being almost unanimously opposed to the commencement of any other. Permanent laws for the assessment of taxes have been passed, which it is estimated will bring into the Treasury annually a surplus fund of $250,000, applicable to the discharge of the Slate’s obligations, besides the profits of the Central Bank, which will amount to about $120,000. Out of these funds a sinking fund of seven ty-five thousand dollars per annum is set apart for the reduction of the principal ol the public debt though no part of it is due lor 20 years. The Slate has not involved itself in en dorsements of the bonds of her chartered com panies. Her endorsement is given to the Central Bank alone, and this is her own insti tution. Its Binds are ample to meet ass its obligations, and it will yet have a capital larger than ihe public debt of the State. Nor has the State been unmindful to raise the value of her currency. She has author ized the issue of State bonds payable at the hank and hearing 8 per cent, interest, to be given in exchange for Central Bank bills at the counter of the bank. She has gone far ther, in authorizing the sale ot’ similar bonds in distant States, with interest payable in this .city, to raise a fund for the redemption of these hills. From the Augusta (Ga ) Constiiut.'o’talist, Aug. 12. THE BANK BILL*. The National Bank Bill has passed the House of Representatives, without any amend ment, and requires now only tiie approbation of tiie President to he carried into operation. Yeas—Messrs.

I be grab tying to every Democrats in the Slate. We invite a perusal of the fit ter.of our correspondent, who writes from Newnan under date of the sih instant. We hope soon to have it in our power to lay the resolutions passed, and the whole proceedings of the Convention before our readers: — Newnan. o h August, 1841. Dear Sir. —The Relief Convention, for the Coweta Circuit, has just closed its session at this place. There were from twelve to fif teen bundled persons present, including tiie delegates from nine counties in the Circuit. Judge Warner. Gen. Haralson and Wm. B. Pryor- Esq. addressed the convention. Res olutions were adopted, recommending the re election of Gov. McDonald, approving me Relief message, sustaining the Central Bank, fy calling upon the Democracy, the real Log cahin men of the country, to use every liono. rable exertion, to deieat the Federal Aristoc racy, who have not only peremptorily refused to extend any relief whatever to the people but have increased their burthens, with op pressive taxation. The old Democratic Ship, is now fairly launched upon her native ele ment, in the Coweta Circuit, with her sails all set, and wafted by a gallant breeze, and il I am not mistaken in the signs of the times she will give the enemies of Relief, and Dan iel Webster with his Federal crew, such a broadside, on the first Monday in October next, as will at least cause her to be respec ted. The people are moving in their majes ty, and like the current of a deep and mighty ri ver, their course will be resistless. It is surpri sing to see, how quick the people can discov er the ascendency of Federal principles, in the measures of the Whig party now in power. I sincerely wish every honest Whig in thej State of Georgia could have been present on this occasion. Every thing was conducted with decency and order. A free Barbacue was given by the citizens of Cow eta, to the citizens of Coweta, to the Dele gates and the people generally. Depend up on it, the people are taking the business of Relief into their own hands. They say Mr. Dawson had better remain in Congress, and endeavor to redeem his promises made last year to the people about retrenchment and reform. One gentleman asked me to-day, if ( I could tel! h!m why it was, that Mr. Ewing in his report, demanded three and a half inil ! lions more money, to carry on the govern ment this year, than Mr. Van Buren expen ded last year, for the same object ? Os course I could not only tell him, u was the legimale consequence of Federalism and reform. I regret I cannot procure a copy of the resolu tions to forward you, but the mail is closing, and I must conclude. Respectfully, tye. THE STEAM PLOUGH. We have received from J. J>. Wilkins, Esq. of this Parish, a communication giving the plan on which it was proposed to procure a steam plough to work our prairies. We are glad to hear that five or six persons have already subscribed liberally. The following is the proposition on the part of the subscri ber*:—• “We, the subscribers, bind ourselves, our heirs and assigns, to pay to any Mechanic either ol America or Europe, who will invent and reduce to successful practice, a steam plough, that will fallow ten acres in the day, eight inches deep, into five feet and a half beds, at three (urrovvs to the bed, either across or around the fieid, in the county of Atlaka pas, La., the sums opposite our names below, its witness our subscriptions, this 7lb day of June, 1941.” i Mr. Wilkins remarks: — i “1 have presented this plan to raise a pre j miiim to induce some enterprising national mechanic to introduce a steam plough which | would raise the price and promote the settle | merit of our prairie to a very profitable ex- I tent. It costs me a capital of $12,000 in ne j groes. teams and ploughs to (allow ten acres, of land in a day, five inches deep. With a ! capital of $3,090 including the cost of the steam plough, I could fallow tire same land in the day, much deeper. I also conjecture a’ steam plough can be made to fallow much] more than ten acres in the day. I think a 1 ! premium of SIO,OOO would excite and set, to! j work some man gifted with ingenuity, and ] procure ns ibe introduction of the wished for ! swam plough, for which our level lands are so j admirably adapted. 1 have only presented i this subscription to a few of rny neighbors, j and five have sub'eribed a thousand dollars, j zCer.iiv everyune i have mentioned it to nre . .iicau-.d to s ipport the scheme, and 1 think 1 | can very easily,.in my neighborhood, procure J Mihse.-ipimns t- the amount of one third ol ’ ■ \ and if you will request Mr. G.

News FroW the Lantern Boundary— The Hon. J. M. Hansford, who arrived a lew days since in Babiue county, reports that the labor ot extending anti defining our eastern boundary to it lie natural boundary on the line from Sabine to lied Kiver was much less than was anticipated, intercepting a bend of: the liver that would b; left eastward of the 1 1 line. The line crossed the sulphur fork of Red River inly alt ne nine miles and o liulf fror> its mouth in a direct course. After crossing that water c urse and running north some twelve or fifteen miles, they unexpectedly struck what is termed the lower bend of the river nearly at right angles. According lo this survey, nil the maps that we have s'fen are inaccurate, as they do not make the bend above the confluence of the sulphur fork sufficiently large to he intercep ted by a direct north line. As it has proved however to be of considerable extent, it is ascertsined that an extensive area of territo ry will now fall into this Republic that has hitherto been considered some distance from the boundary! Judge Hansford states that the bend in cludes some of the finest soil on the Red River, and not less than one hundred and fifty planters whose personal property will average each, not less than teu thousand dol lars. From the New Orleans Bulletin, Aug. 12 From Texas. —By the steam packet Sa vannah, from Galveston, we have papers of that port to the Ist inst, and those of Austin to the 22d ult. Rumors were current iD Austin that the Sante Fe expedition had been informed by the spies, that they were within 70 miles of a settlement of Cainanche Indians, who had 400 acres of land in cultivation, and who num bered several thousand strong. An addition al force was raised to join the expedition, and no doubt was felt that all opposition would be prostrated. President Lamar had arrived at Houston, on his return to Austin. Gen, Urrea, who failed in his attempt to overthrow the General Government last year, it is now stated in these papers, is at the head of a large party of federalists in lower Cali fornia, on die Pacific, and that the Mexican government has not the power to put him down. The crops of cotton and sugar on the Col orado, promises well. We make the following extracts News from the West.—Three wagons on the road from the coast to Bexar, were robbed a short time since by a party of about twenty Mexicans. They were laden with tobacco and dry goods, valued at about SISOO. A spy company left Victoria on the 20th, to ascertain the number and position of the enemy. The people in the vicinity of Victoria are exceedingly exasperated at this outrage, and have held several public meet ings to devise measures to prevent further marauding. They have appointed a com. mittee of safety to correspond with the !Sec retary of War, &.C. The whole population in tiiat section are anxious for war. The Secretary of War has authorized them to j raise volunteers to disperse the bands of Mexicans on this side of the Rio Grande.— These volunteers will rendezvous at Goliad on | the Ist of August. These repeated acts of treachery on the part of the Mexicans, had i destroyed entirely the little confidence our citizens had placed in them. Another cam paign would afford the most sincere delight to the hundreds of idle men who have gathered ! on the western frontier. j Sagacity of a Dorr.— The Richmond Star relates the following cn the authority of a gentleman engaged in the alfliir- which plainly shows tho remarkable sagacity of the dog : On Monday last, a dog - , belonging to this gentleman, accidentally fell into a well; and for a moment gave him up as lost. But as a sort of desperate effort *o save the dog, lie directed a boy to lot a rope he had down into the well, in the hope that possibly it might catch around his leg or neck. No sooner, h .wever, end the rope come within reach, than the dog seized it with his teeth, and the parties above finding it had secured him, bog'ua to draw up; wi.au about half way 5 lost h 3 ho! i and fell back. Again the rone was let down, and again the dog seized it, and he was ib uvn nearly to the mouth of 1 me Its fell into the viw. (luce more the s . thorough a hold, that fie was brought tri (fht.iui; the vv nr from bis hair, mid Wagged the other parties were gratified wuh it. ‘The l ISAMCIAL CaNIHTI.iM Ol- THE WoBLD.— T id whole world is bvnkiupi or nearly so. in England, the mini ary are about to call a npw I’arhamerit. in order to increase the rev enue.

Sir Francis had at this moment a large school of young sal mon fry, hatched during spring/m a° pool prepared for the purpose, and ready, at the proper age, to inhabit their native river, the Ewe, from which the parent fish were taken. They are now one and a half or two inches long, and decidedly par; thus confirming what has so often been asserted, and on a small scale proved by Mr. Shaw, of Druinlanria; to whom belongs the credit of fust suggesting a way of propagating our royal fish, Though the possibility ol doing it, to any extent that could reallv prove valuable, was always de nied. Sir Francis Mackenzie has, however; by perseverance and zeal in the over: come the difficulty, and it is hoped, will soon make known to the public the details of this interesting and valuable discovery.—lnver ness Courier. We learn Iron Messrs. Patton, Donegari Cos., the owners of the Bell factory, sifita tedon Flint river in this county, which was recently consumed by fire, that the insurance taken on the property was only $15,000 and not $20,000 as heretofore slated bv us, and was ellected in the Tennessee Marine’ and Fire Insurance Company, at Nashville.— That one of the firm recently made a visit to Nashville to adjust (lie loss. The Com pany met him with great promptness—a called session, after an investigation of the docu ments disclosing the facts relating to the ca lamity, and being satisfied it originated ill misfortune, they promptly paid the amount of insurance, less interesting for 60 days, the time allowed on the conditions of thepolicy for the payment of the loss.
