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 Oeamulgee and J. Stone, are busily employed, run ring night ami day, carrying this valuable article to Savannah, in our next we will publish a of ull the Cotton that has been received at this port 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 took the oath and \v \<* n Governor of British North America. 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. ‘ ’ r "7"” ’ We regret to 1 -urn that Mr. Menifee, fire gerrlle manwhowos cngngsd in the affair with Mr. Me Clung, near Vicksburg, on I lie 29th tilt., n aneotmt of which was published in our last paper, has since, elied of the wound lie received. 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 1 j tilt. elected a Judge of the Court of Appeals of 1 ; Virginia, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the | decease of Judge Brookembrough. mwm crtirrr^ COMMERCIAL.

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.

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 Courier.
