WASHINGTON'S BIRTH DAY.
In a few days every city t f importance through
out the Union will Jfretn with thousands of glad
freemen, in comid- fmnoraiiou of the birth day of
him, to whom, under Providence, they; freedom and
happiness is mainly attributable. lie is justly dis
tinguished as the “father of hi# country,” and hi#
memory w'dl be the more revered as it grows older.
Tin* character of W ashington is not only a subject
of national gratuhition, but of moral pride to die
whole human family. It is this which has made
his name revered and repeated with enthusiasm
wherever it is heard on the whole face of the globe.
The fore and middle part of last week the weather
was cold and unpleasant. On Friday it became
p mild with a strong wind from S W. which increas
ed in the afternoon to almost a hurricane —carrying
clouds of sand in every direction,
JjrOitt Riven is now in fine order, and large
quantities of cotton daily arrive. The steamers

Savannah, in our next we will publish a

since the IW Octobcr last.
THE BANKS.
The present system of ‘‘shaving” adopted by the
Banks of Augusta, meets, as must )mv<? xfsn expect
ed, the most miiveraiul censure from the public press,
in every part of the State. These institution# held
up as they were by the community during the sus
k pension of specie pay rent, have now commenced
[; devouring eaefeother, and if continued, will soon end
> in their own ruin. It is but a few days since, that
j one of their agents eainc loourcity, with Irik pockets
l full of bills, which he exhibited in a public inn, stat
ing his determination to make a general shave at our
bank. Wr are surprised that the banks of the inte
rior of th* State, submit to the oppressive system of
settlements and exactions required of them by the in
stitutions at Augusta.
The Bank of Darien, since its incorporation, has
never as yet drawn a dollar from any oilier Bank;
nn'the wants of the pc pie. Since the resumption
of spec j’ payment it lv - redeemed with specie him! :
spu;ie funds upward*, of fHUDO dollars of its bills.
The. following paragraph wc extract from the Co- j
! I nbus Argus :
Tiu* evils resulting from the course adopted by the
banks in Augusta have not been confined to that city;
they have extended to tv. y part of the State. Wc
‘uvl . ,e banks keep their agents trnvel-
Ting making settlement* with the oth-r batiks, and
requiring the bank on which th y call if it cannot pay
them in their own bills either to pay in specie or in
ilie. bills of other luniks at a half Jer rent, discount.
Thus an agent stmts from Augusta, with all the bills
that the banks there can raise on tl*tj banks in Mil
ledgevilfo, Macon, and Columbus. When he get#
to Milledgcvillc, the banks there pay him all the bills
they have on the banks of Augusta, and the balance,
if any, in the bills of the banks of Macon and this
place at tin discou.it. He then com®* to Macon, and
goes through th? same process. He then comes here;
and if the banks of this place have not enough of the
bills of the banks of Augusta to pay him off, they
pay him in bills of Macon and Miih dgeyilk*; and as
he goes back betakes a half per cent off them again.
Sow it is clear, as long us the banks of Augusta ran
carry on this business to any extent, they can make
a profitable business of it; but the effect of it is, that
neither they nor the other banks can do any tiling in
the way of accommodating the people.
If individuals Were to commence thus running the
banks, you would soon hear the cry that it was op
pressing the people. They would tell you. “We
cannot issue a dollar, because these fellows will im
mediately pick it up, and demand the specie of us r
But whenever some of them think they can make a
profitable business by making a run upon the rest,
they care not a straw about the people.
The Invjwtioatin'o Committee. — We learn from
the New York Express that the Investigating Com
mittee from Congress, organized on Friday, at the
Custom House in Pine street, in the room over the
Collector’s, in the third story. The first witnesses
sent for were, Air. Schultz, the former accountant
under Messrs. Gels’on, Thompson and Swartwout.
Mr. Shultz retired from office some time since, being
very aged. He is a man of strict integrity, and]>er- |
fectly familiar with the Bond department. Mr.
Flemming, the Auditor, was also sent for. The
4 Committee are driving on with great speed,—they
have wisely seated themselves in the very spot where
the defalcations were committed, and w here they will
have every opportunity to obtain facts. We under
stand, (says the Express,) tltey intend to push their
investigations with all possilde industry, and with
f uture devotion to the service in which they are en- j
gaged.
‘J'hr, Wetter* flank cf Georgia. —The Greenville.
S. C. Mountaineer, says that a report was in circu
lation there that this Bank had closed its doors, and
consequently its bills where not current. Wc have
received no lntelligenre of this Bank’s suspension of
1 ‘"payments. The Western Georgian of the 2Gth tilt/
published at Rome, received on Saturday last, con
tains no Information of the kinds : we. therefore, take
the liberty of comradi-riug tilts report. Inhering it
to be false, and in character with others heretofore
circulated without foundation, by some persons pre
judiced against this institution.
It is stated that Mr. Sevier, of Arkansas, will re
sign hi# scat in the United States Senate at the end
of the present session.
On Thursday, the 17th lilt. Sir John Cnlhnrne

For the Herald.
Mr. Editor: —Having received a short time j
since, a copy of the third edition, of Sherwood’s j
Gazetteer, of Georgia, for 1837, I could not
hut notice, in looking over it, how very incor
rect some of his descriptions of places appear-:
ed, ami particularly so, when the places were j
familiar and well known to me. Among these,
few are more glaring, than the account given
by him of the place where you and I now live.
It is true, indeed, that our city cannot as yet
v-ic with the great commercial emporium of
our country, still humble as we arc, we have a
claim to be justly represented to our friends!
at a distance. The account he gives of Darien
was very well when first published, about ten
years ago,—but in a new and revised and cor
rected edition, we have a right to expect that
all matters and things would be brought to ouv
view in their proper and present position. In- I
stead of 500 inhabitants, he should have said !
a 1000—instead of 50,000 bales of cotton he !
should have said 100,009 —mid instead of not
increasing,—that our city is increasing, as fast
as our most sanguine expectations could de,-
sire, —but I have said enough, and will only
add the request that you will publish in your
new and valuable paper, the following extract
from his new work in relation to Darien, and
then let the people say, if Mr. Sherwood, has
sharedout to us, “equal and exact justice.”
A CITIZEN.
Extract :
Darien City and cap., Mclntosh county, is
on the N. channel of the Alalamaha river, 12
miles front the ocean ; liXl miles S. S. K. Mi 1 -
lcdgeville; 02S. S. W. Savannah. It contains
a Hank; I’rcsbyterian A/ecting-housc; Acade
my; C. II.; Jail, and about 800 inhabitants. At
Uie bar are fourteen feet water, and some
foreign vessels come here for produce; but no
purchasers resort to thisspot, and the market,
of course, is not good.
The cotton which goes down the Oconee
and Ocmulgee on boats, is landed hero, and
shipped to .Savannah. Vessels find a safe in
land passage, along the sounds and rivers, to
.Savannah, without going out into the ocean.
Cotton brought hear and forwarded in 1824-5,
were 18.002 bags; in 1825-6. 27,332; in 18.-
26-7. 47065. Freight per bag to Savannah, is
fifty cents; wharfage, landing and shipping,
five cents; commission for receiving and for
warding is seven and a half cents. Afore than
50,000 hags will probably stop here of the crop
of 1828. A weekly paper is printed here.
Darien does not increase. Four regular pack
ets are advertised as plying between this and
New-York. A Baptist Meeting-house was e
roeted here alsmt 1834. This town became
theeapitaltn 1818. A place called Me Intosh,
about 1 mile distant, it seems, was subject to
the police*of Darien.
Freshet.—A distressing freshet occurred in die
Schuylkill river oil the night of die 26th ultimo,
which done much damage, destroying the floating
bridge, at Gray’s Ferry, and injuring the elegant
Railroad Bridge across the Schuylkill, carrying off
almost two hundred feet of the centre. New York
was visited on the same day with a gide arid flood,
which done much damage. The Camden and Am
boy Railroad was rendered impnssble, by the over
flow of waters anti subsequent cold weather which
covered the road with ice.

manwhowos cngngsd in the affair with Mr. Me

Flour. —The Philadelphia United Stales Gazette 1
states that upwards of 20,000 barrels Flour have
1 icen purchased in that market within the last few
weeks for shipment to England, none of which, has
yet left the city. Three ships are loading at present
for Liverpool with this article.
Correspondence of the Courier.
Washington Jan. 30.—The House, to-day.
again took up the l’l esidenl’s Message in the
Committee of the whole, ulid Mr. Crary, of
Michigan, made some remarks in defence of
the President’s views, as to the dangers of
“associated wealth.” Mr. (J. found many ex
amples, he said, in history, of the ‘dangers to
which the people are exposed from this source,
lie said we paid no attention to the remon
strances of the poor blacksmith, meaning Jo
seph Suvchet, while we readily granted the
prayerof wealthy steam boutor rail road com
panies, for the remission of duties on their im
portations. This, among other instances, he
offered to prove that even Congress was under
the influence of’ associated wealth.”
Mr. Clarke, the New-York Conservative,
followed in a reply to some remarks hereto
fore made by Mr. Cambreleng, in defence of
the views and course of the Conservatives, and
in every keen vective upon some of his col
leagues. The Committee then rose, and the
House went into the consideration of the ap
propriate hills, and the pension bill, Indian bill,
navy bill, and the bill for defence of the North- j
ern frontier, were severally ordered to be cn- j
gossed for a third reading.
The President communicated a list of all ;
the Collectors and disbursing officers, who j
have unsettled balances standing against them, j
on the books of the Treasury, from the year
1789, till this day.
The Senate, after a continued debate on the
motion of Mr. Benton, for leave to introduce i
hisbill to abolish the duties on Salt and bourn- j
! ties dependent thereon, granted leave. Mr.
! Benton presented a statement of the number
of lives lost tn the Florida war. from its com
mencement, and it was ordered to he printed.
Another statement has been made of the cost
of the Florida war, with an estimate of the
sums which it will be necessary to pay for In
dian depredations, horses, saddles, and bridles, j
&c. lost in the war. The object of Mr. Benton j
is undoubtedly to shew that bis proposition for
an armed occupation of Florida, is the cheap- :
out and safest mode of expelling the savages
; from it. His plan possesses another great ad- |
| vantage, viz: that it will develope the resour
; ces of Florida, and lead to the speedy settle
ment and cultivation of those portions of it 1
which are well adapted to the culture of Sugar 1
Cotton, the Orange, Cuba Tobacco, &c.
True French in Africa;—The Paris
correspondent of the New York Courier,
writes: “Front Africa, the accounts rceeiv-;
ed represent the continued extension of the i
French possessions, which will, it is calcu
lated, soon require 100,000 men to garrison j
and protect. The natives are not, however,
subdued nor conciliated. The colonists suf
fer in their person or property every day.
There is no account of Abdel Kader, either
in confirmation or in contradiction of his
rumored death.”
Robert StasamJ, fa Whig) was on trie 18th

Died,
On the. 23d ult, in Macon, (Ga.) Miss ELVIRA
11. C. RAINE, in the 24th, year of her age, young
est daughter of the late Thomas and Mary Raine,
of Charleston. The visitation of death is at all times
an awful and melancholy event. Even when the.
dispensation is dealt out to the infirm and aged, to
those whom life lias lost the rest of its freshness, and
for whom misery lots left no hope but that of its ces
sation, llie irrevocable and eternal separation from
all that has been most dear and most loved on earth,
is ever attended with a grief that surpasses all others
to which flesh is heir. But when youth and lovlinesa
are called upon to taste ofdcath, ere life has yet blown
its full blossom of sweets, we can find no stay for
the fortitude of the sufferrer, no hope for the consola
tion of the survivors, save in the promises of that un
dying word which has held out the prospect of hap
piness in eternity; to those who have been virtuous in
lime. Sitclt, we trust, was the ease of her whose loss
is here, deplored. “Blessed are they who die in the
Lord 4” and with this assurance, of him who lias
never deceived, her relatives and friends are. comfor
ted !>y the hope, that she who, on eurtli, was an obe
dient child, un affectionate sister, a faithful friend,
and un humble Christian, will not fail to receive the
rew urd that litis been promised to the pure in heart,
that llicy should sec God.

BATTLE ON THE BRUNSWICK CANAL.
From the. JJ runs wick Adcocate, oth inst.
We had an alarm in this city, on Saturday
lust, from one ofthe dislulmnceu which soinc
tloom occur in the vicinity of public works.
One of the Overseers cumi in from the Bruns
wick Canal with intelligence Hint ihci—wen,
a pitched battle between two parties of the
Irish employed there, and was soon followed
liy several of his men dreadfully bruised and
cut. A small party of cavalry was imme
diately mustered under Capt. Howard, and
went to aid in stopping the mischief. The
fight was over, however, before they reach
ed the spot, the weaker party having re
treated into the swamp ami dispersed. Fire
arms had been used, and it is important that
preparations should be made by our citi
zens to control these people in future, if
necessary. The contractors have increas
ed their force of late, and the consequences
of a riot might be serious. It seems that
the Union men and Orange Hoys, or the
Cork men and Kerry men, are in such an
inflammable stale of animosity towards
each other, that trifling causes arc soflicieiit
to embroil the whole. In the present in
stance a quarrel between three men the
night previous caused a party of about a
hundred to ni:i/re a sudden descent from
their station upon the others when quietly
at work; while the two individuals who had
really committed the first outrage, had left
the work, and were fifteen miles off.
The incident is characteristic of popular
violence, and a fair specimen of its results
in any community. Wc made an inquiry
of an Irish resident here, who was assisting
a poor fellow covered with blood from a
frightful gash in the bead, how far matters
were lively to be carried. “Orb ! you
need be no ways unasy,” lie said, “i-’s
only an Irish frolic, jist a quarrel between
the Union and State Rights’ parties!”
An Affray-.- Yesterday, about 2 o’clock,
I’. M., in the principal street in this city, two
| young men, both of whom had resided here
for several years, had a quarrel about the set
tlement of an account, which led to blows, and
resulted in one of them plunging a Bowie knife,
into the depth of between three and four inches
into the sine of the other, immediately under
the ribs. The wound was inflicted with a
Bowie knife about ten or twelve inches in
j length, and there is every reason to believe
i that it will prove mortal. The inflictor of the
wound vva; arrested, and taken before C.
M’Clure, Esq. for examination. We gather
| from the notes of the investigation before us,
I that opprobrious language was first used by
; the party stabbed, retorted by the other, and
j the first blow, us near as could be ascertained,
j was given by the former. They clinched and
both fell —in that posture, or when rising from
it, the knife was drawn and the wound inflict
ed. The defendant was required to give bail
| for his appearance for trial at the regular term
if Court to the amount of “SIOOO. Which bc
j ingdoue he was released.
We have here another awful instance of the
consequences of that most pernicious and dis
graceful habit, the wearing of deadly weapons.
When will the dictates of wisdom and reason
prevail among our young men, and banish this
accursed practice from the land. — Natchez
