that Gen, Floyd onhisreturn to the rat up.
near Traders Hill, was shot dead by a bu
gler of 1), 8 Dragoons, named Powell, who
immediately mounted his horse and esc aped.
Mr. Hall stated to our informants, who were
residents oft lantdcn and A poling, that he had
seen Gen. Floyd’sdead body. By their re

to have heard of it on the Ith. we have

Furr. Bankinci. The Legislature of
Georgia, at its Inle session passed on art,
authorizing and adopting the system of free
j hanking. The leading provision* of the
law areas follows ;—A circulating medium,
in the similitude of bank notes, in blank, to
be provided by the Comptroller General,
and two commissioners (to h<- elected at
each session of the legislature) and to be
couutersijfned, numbered, anu registered
by such person or persons as the Comp- ;
troller and Commissioner* shall appoint.
This circulating medium to be delivered to
any person or association of persons for
the purpose of banking, loan equal amount I
with the value of stock or bonds IrnrfL
ferred, on the legal transfer to the Comp
troller, anil Commissioners. I. Os storks I
of the United Htates, the Stale of Georgia,
or such other States of the United States, j
as shall be approved by those officers, to ;
be or to be made to be equal to State Stock, •
producing 5 percent., per annum, and not j
to be taken at a rate above or below par— j
the bills or notes thus secured to be stamped
on their faces, “ serured by the pledge of
i public stocks.” 3. Os bonds and tnort
| gages, on unincumbered lands within the
State, worth independently of the build
ings thereon, at least double the amount for
which they are mortgaged, bearing at least
(5 per cent, interest,annually, or scmi-aumi
n I ly—bills or notes thus secured to be
stamped “ secured by pledge of real
estate.” 3. Os bond* uml mortgage* for
lands, or town property, or negroes, of
four fold the value of the bills or notes rc
. ecivcd, provided such property be insured,
if liable to injury or destruction from fire,
and prov ided that the negro property of
fered, do not exceed one half of the whole
amount of suelt bills or notes—which, j
when thus secured arc to be stamped “se- j
cured by pledge of real and personal pro- j
perty.” The bills or notes, thus delivered
to persons or associations, to be executed
and signed by them, and made obligatory
promissory notes, payable on demand, at
their respective places of business, w ithin |
the State, and lo be loaned and circulated j
by them as money, according to the usage*
of banking. On failure to redeem such bills 1
or notes, on demand, at the place of busi- ?
ness, during the usual hours of business, in I
gold or silver coin, of the standard value of
the United States, the holder is authorised
to have the same protested ; and the Comp
troller and Commissioners, on receiving
and tilling the protest, to give notice in wri
ting to the maker or makers to redeem the
same and if he or they omit to do so, for
tiO days after such notice, the Comptroller
and Commissioners (unless satisfied of a le
gal defence to such notes) to give notice
i immediately in the Milledgev ille papers, ‘
that all the circulating notes issued by such j
persons or associations will be redeemed i
out of the trust funds in their hands, and to j
apply the same in pay meat of the protested j
notes# with cost of protest, and to adopt
such measures for the payment of all circu
lating notes of such defaulters, as w ill in
their opinion, prevent loss to the holder*. !

visions, some of them highly penal, are con- !

From the Journal of Com. of Hth in.it.
Lower Canada. —lt is stated that the
1- or 15 villians who crossed into Canada
from Auhurg, At. a few days since, and
burnt sevrral Tory houses and barns, have
been demanded from the Governor of Ver
mont as fugitives from justice. A\ r e hope
they have, and that they will be given up,
and made to suffer the penalty due to their
crimes. This game of pirating upon our
neighbors, has been carried far enough
and a little too far. Neither Canada nor
Great Britain can bear it much longer.
The American people would not have borne
it so long. If vve want war, the liest way
, is to declare it at once ; and not to foment
or permit it to be fomented in this sneaking
underhanded manner, fit only for vagabones
and cut throats. Let it be understood that
any individuals who, passing from our ter
ritory'. shall commit crimes within her Ma
jestv's dominions, will be ferreted out if
they return, and given up to the British au
thorities for punishment.—and we ween the
i “patriot” operations w ill henceforth be ve-
Irv much curtailed in their proportions,
j The cruelty of the Albttrg invaders towards
defenceless women and children was hor- j
J rihlr. They ought to he punished for this, ;
independent of their arts of arson. A man
that will drive women and children Imre- ;
I foot into the street, in the depth of winter. !
1 far from any other dwelling, is unfit to live
i in decent society, and the sooner he is sent j
* to Botany Bay, the better.
Tkxa* as she is.— A correspotiit-nt of the
New York Star ha* communicate*: some very
interesting statistical information iweeriimg !
the present condition of Texas.
The grand staple of the country. •* of the
Southern States, is Cotton, for which the soil
in every part of the territory is admirably
adapted. The cotton is of a superior quality, j
and usually command* a higher price ,u New
Orleans than that of Louisiana. Sine* :h_, re
cent difficulties, corn has proved a mor* lucra
tive crop, and has in some measure dh rted I
| the attention of planters from the rullitdHon j
of cotton. -*
The next important produce of Texas is'.he j
sugar cane. Little has as yet been done in live j
1 cultivation of the cane, but the experiment*
which have been made lead the writer tobt
; iieve that, eventually, Texas will be no mean
competitor of the West Indie* in the prodtic
j turn of this article.
All kinds of small grain yield bounteously,
| especially in the Northern part on what is call
ed the rolling land. Tobacco may be grown
j many part of the country, superior in quality
and quantity to that of any of the states; and
on the Gulf it is not inferior to Havana or
Principe. Indigo is indigenous, and it* growth
is exuberant in ail directions. The soil is well
adapted to the growth of hemp and flax, and
the writer is of opinion that some of the most
profitable returns will be in these crops.
Among the minerals are coal, iron, copper,
lead and graphite ; and it is the opinion of some
I that in the San Sabu hills there are silver
mutes, formerly worked by the old Spaniard*,
j and that the old fort for the protection of the
workmen, still remains. Sait and nitre from
the evaporation of the salt spring* and lakes,
! w hich arc numerous, also add their quota.
From such an abundance, of the raw mate
j rial, the writer very naturally concludes that
! Texas will become both a commercial and a
| manufacturing nation.
TO devi lope the resources of the country
t and give value to its products, the government
hits dcvfetetl an extensive system of interna!
improvement. Among the companies orga
nised for carrying out the system is the “Tex
us Hail Hoad, Navigation-and Banking Compa
ny.” This company propose* to connect ihe
waters of the Rio Grande and Sabina by means
of interna! navigation and rail roads, and ha*
baking privileges with a capital of A3.tXM.UOI),
required to be paid into the Treasury of Texas
in silver, it i* said, lues been already paid, and
the Bank is in operation.
Another improvement i* under the charge of
the ‘Brazos and Galveston Hail Itoad Com jin
ny “—another under that of ihe “Colorado Na
! vigution Company” ami by aetof the Iwgisla
■ lure “the rivers Attoyac and Nrehos” are to be
made navigable. Other improvements are in
progress.
The Government i* modelled after our own.
The President was first chosen for two year*
i but the succeeding terms have been extended
ito three years. He is inelligible during the
j next term. Th- members of tin House of Re
! prowniutives are elected annually.
The following extract slum * the compensa
tion of the officers of the -Civic List.”

The trade of Texas employs several steam
boats permanently on the Brazos, and two or
three on the Trinity. Between her coast and
New Orleans there are two steam shijis, and
her coasting trade and that to the United States,
employs about forty or fifty vessels, mostly
schooners and brigs, of small draft.
Contrary to opinions generally entertained,
the writer says the “Society of Texas is made
up of a great deal of good, and little radically
bad.” There are in the country thirty minis
ters of the gospel; —five or six newspapers,
and day and Sunday schools have been esta
-1 hitshed.
