Tut'Mlay Morning, April 9,1839.
Bank or Darien.—We are plenscd to observe the
confidence our citizens entertain in the solvency of
the Bank of Darien and its branches, and the genc
ral *>clicf that the Bank will in a very short time re
sume the payment of its notes in specie. The pa-
I>ers in ever)- section of the State speak in the high
est terms of the BdTnk, and the praise-worthy man
ner in which it has been conducted. This institu
tion has never Usrn s s.-*-vr -* -r “* ,u tins in tunes
of great pressure relieved the public to the utmost of
ns ability. Would that we could say this much of
every bank in our Slute. The effort made by certain
spectators to depreciate the value of its notes, has
completely failed They are taken at par in our city,
and learn that in the surroundingecuntry, every con
fidence is felt in its solvency. Nothing can be more
gratifying than this—it has completely frustrated
thedesignsof thatravclling land sharks, who have
been sent from different sections of the State to pur
chase its notes below their real value, and thus en
rich themselves at the expense of the timid .*ytd such
as lend too willing an ear to the false reports of that
lying jade —.Mtidum ffvmor. Since the resumption
of Specie payment this bank has redeemed better |
than a hundred thousand dollars of it* notes, a cir- |
eumstancc w hichfwe venture to say, no other bank !
in the Statfe has done.
The Milledgcville papers of last Tuesday, con
tain the following notice :
Branch Bane Darif.n,
Miiledgeville, 27th March, 1831).
At a nteetjffg of the Directors of this Bank this
day, it was resol vtd, that in consequence of the sus
pension of the Branch Bank of Darien at Savannah, |
it is advisable (hat this Branch suspend payment for
the present.
Resolved, That this Bank w ill pay an interest of
seven percent, upon all sums of ore hundred dollars,
and over, deposited in the bills of said Bank during i
the suspension.
The Cashier begs lea veto soy to the bilt holders of!
this Branch, that they need be under no apprehen
sion in relation thereto, as the assets of this Branch i
arc more than ample to meet all its liabilities. By ;
order. J R ANDERSON, Cashier. ‘
The Standard of Union accompanies the above I
with the following remarks.
BANK OF DARIEN
The Branch Bank of Darien at Savannah sus
pended some days since, and ns might have been
expected, heavy runs have been made and will he j
made upon the mother Bonk and its other branches :
indeed, they have been such already, upon the branch
in this place, as to induce a suspension, although its
circulation is comparatively small. This step w'r
think cannot be condemned, as we are well assured
every exertion will be made, and the means are am
ple, to tuke up its circulation as soon as it ran be
done.
In the mean tirtie, the community should sustain i
tlic credit of Darien money and not allow it to sink
under par, and we do not believe it will. The resour- \
res of the Bank, and the large interest held by the ,
State, makes it perfectly safe and sound : there is no {
Bank more entitled to the sympathy and support of
the country, from the accommodating spirit which it
has always manifested.
The same paper has these remarks about the
Hnwkrnsville Bank.
TIIE Bd.YK OF HAWKENSVILLE.
A rumor reached this place some days since, that
the Banks in Augusta had refused to receive the hills j
of the Bank of Hawkinsville : but wc are happy to I
state, upon unquestionable authority, that the report
was incorrect, and that the bills are in good credit in
that city.
We also learn that the Bank of Hnwkcnsvillc is
well provided with the means * f meeting its liubili- j
ties, and can in the next forty days reduce its circu- ,
lnt ion to seventy or eighty thousand dollars.
We are acquainted with a number of the stockhol
ders ill that institution, and there arc several of them,
who could redeem its whole circulation, if the bank ;
and all its effects were burnt up, and when it is i
known that the individual property of the stock hoi- j
decs is bound, wc cannot conceive tnr slightest cause
of distrust.
BANK OF DARIEN.
It is with feelings of regret, we refer our readers to j
the nut ice in this paper to which we invite their at
tention, by which it is announced to the public, that j
the branches of this Bank at Savannah, and this ;
place, have suspended Specie payments. This hank
has perhaps extended its accommodations more liber
ally and beneficially to the fanners of Georgia, than
any other institution. Its administration has al
ways been characterized with greater regard for the !
interest of the community than was probably right it
should have exercised, in view of its own security
against the devouring properties of the avaricious
and soulless corporations which were to be guarded
and provided for. It is believed that this institution
could redeem its circulation, in current funds, and in
the usual manner of doing so by banks. Its stock is
owned principally by the State, and no one should be
induced to make any sacrifice of its bills, in conse
quence of its suspension of specie payments.—Federal
Union, April 2d.

Tur. Great Church Case.— This
great and exciting controversy has been decided by
the verdict of the Special Jury, impannailed in the
J case, in favor of the New School Pnriy. A Guo
Warranto was taken out at the relation of the Trus
j ices elected by the New’ School party, to eject from
j office the Trustees appointed by the Old School par
ty in the General Assembly of 108 Judge Rogers
! of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, before whom
j the cause was tried, charged the Jury in favor of the
! Relators, holding the excision of the Four Synods of
| the Western Reserve, Geneva, Genesee and Utica,
!>v the General Assembly, in 1837, to Ik* unconstitu-
I tional and void. On the question of organization
, he charged the Jury that if the delegates were pre
-1 vented from hearing the question or voting by the
clamors, arts or measures of the New School party or
audience, then the Reman or New School Assembly
was illegally formed, and the relators must fail; but
i if they believed the confusion to have been the act of
the defendants or of those w ho supported the Elliot*-
; or Old Sehool Assembly, then tl*r “*tid take no
advantage of their *rong uct, and the verdict
>- v,r the Relators. Messrs. Meredith, Wood
and Randall for Relators—Messrs. Ingersoll, Prcs
| lon, and Hubbcl for Defendants. The Jury retired
for a few minutes, and returned with a verdict against
the defendants. The defendants have moved for a
new trial on the law.

THE ORATORIO.
Mr. Editor:
Allow me to compliment the ladies and gentlemen
of “the Social Choir,” for their attractive performance
of the several pieces of music, performed at their Ora
torio on the evening of the 28th ult. j4s an exhibi
tion of talent in sacred music, I take pleasure, in
thus expressing the general opinion of approbation
to the Choir, and the truly laudible pride of our
older citizens and Pastor, in getting up so accom-
pi is bed a choir, to assist in the praises of the divine
creator. In the execution of the music, there cannot
beany praise bestowed, but what is justly dueto tlvc
merits of the performance; but independent of this
merit, I cannot, but think, that the courtesies of the
ladies in volunteering their services on the occasion,
was a part of the generosity of their sex which can
not be too highly appreciated. Their contributing
so largely of their accomplishments to the entertain
ment of the audience, on an occasion of this kind,
where the object is so truly laudible, as that which
prompted this ; shows the good and amiable feeling
of our society, in assisting to improve and embellish
every department of the social und moral relations of
the community. The present benificcnt object is one,
to improve the choir of the Presbyterian church, by
adding an Organ, to their orchestra, which will not
only add to tht solemnity of their praises on high, but
will accomplish the desirable end of establishing a
permanent choir in the services of die church.
So desirable an object, has been a matter of great
regret for a long time that it could not be brought
about earlier; our church presented an audience that
sent forth its praises to the “Lamb of God,” with a
feebleness that mocked the fullness and solemnity of
the praises of David “before Jehovahs awful throne”;
but it is now to be hoped, that the end is accomplish
ed, and the spirit that pervades our community will
cherish the happy influence that has so many charms
to add to the praises and dignity of the “Lord of
hosts.” * * *

Mu. Editor :
I am really inclined to think, that I have done
something which had not ought to have been done,
though, I wns not conscious of it, until I saw your
lust paper, with the strictures of S. S. N. on “End’s
communication, and digression on criticisms.
Now, I do not know, in what particular, I am
really so amcniable; if it is on account of my hereti
cal opinions concerning the “laughable diversities ,”
of the human species, I confess I may have been
guilty of a little sin, in classing him with the genera
Uabboon,” and attempting to account for those
“la ughablc diversities;’ as the result of natural causes,
by attributing to sonic “sage and venerable Babboon,”
the honour of being his great progenitor, as well as
my own. And supposing this to be the real grevi
ance he has to complain of, I will and him the justice,
to say, that I question, very much his honourable de
scent from some “sage and venerable Babboon ” ; but
not knowing precisely in what ’lass, to place him,
(as he does not like my class ,• I claiming a regular
descent from a “sage and venerable” progenitor,) I
must allow him to classify himself under the head of
God’s great and beneficent handy work, which
through the successive changes of time and nature,
has dcgene.rated, into the present “laughuble diversi
ties,” which seems to be a matter of so many grave
reflections with him. In making this apology, to .S’.
| s'. N. I hope he will appreciate the motive, if for
; nothing else, for the good feeling and justice, I have
done him, by allowing him to choose his own great
grand father from any class even from a to z in lep
quids or quadrupids. END.

Savannah, April ft, 1830.
Forty five suspicious persons were examined
yesterday, by his Honour Korkrt M. Charl
ton, Mayor of this city, with the view of
ascertaining whether a clew could ho had to
discover the authors of the several incendiary
attempts which have been recently made to
fire the city.
The Mayor bestowed every attention on the
investigation, and the Marshal and officers of
the City Guard, were in prompt attendance.
After a most patient inqury, three persons
were committed to Jail, noton account of sus
picion of arson, hut because they could not give
a Mudsttictory account of themselves.
The exertions of the Police is deserving of
much praise, and we hope they will continue
their lubours, until confidence is restored.

Deal Sir,—Through the partiality of my
friends, and the suggestions of some of the
public Journals, (yours included,) my name
lias been presented as one of the nominees to
the Gubernatorial State Bight Convention to
beheld in May next 1 have given countenance
to it, so far as to answer affirmatively to some
of my friends, when the enquiry was made,
whether or not I would accept the nomination if
conferred on me. A more mature consideration
of the subject, has effected a change of feeling
and determination. This communication is
made to apprise of the fact, those who may
have intended to bestow on me their support,
that their attention may be directed to others
who.are more solicitous to sacrifice the re
pose of private life, to the acquirement of pub
lic honors.
With high consideration and respect, your
obedient servant.

Highly Important--Finnic from
Maine.
The climax has conic—the campaign is over
—the Maine warriors have reached their ulti
matum —their
•’ —Bruised anus hung up for monuments;
Ami now instead of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,”
They arc quarrelling with one another about
the wuy to pay the debts they have incurred.
Let us see how they stand. They have
brought the compuign to a close —frightened
Sir Joint Hurvcy—astonished all this country,
and will yet astonish all Europe—got in debt
to the amount of nearly two millions—and,
moreover, obtained an immense amount of
glory.
This is enough, in all conscience, for one
campaign. It is true that some of the leaders
feel not a little about the business;
they are puzzled about raising the ways and
means to carry on their former business. But
nt least one or two great advantages have re
sulted from the Maine war ; they have acquir
ed a great quantity of glory, and being with
out money, have the satisfaction of knowing
that no down-east Price or Swartwoutcan run
off with their surplus revenue. As it is, they
are kicking up a row because the banks will
advance them no more funds. A resolve has
passed the legislature to authorize the state
Treasurer to make a requisition of five per cent
on the banks; hut the state owes the hanks
this sunt already which has been advanced
can amore. They can get no money unless
they hypothecate something, and the only
materials they have to hypothecate is their
“glory,” together with sundry pairs of old
bootsand breeches. ‘Phis is a most important
finale to all tlicir fun ; they have had no war,
no fighting, no blood, no money, and no terri
tory ;but they have on the other hand created
a large stock of glorv, and a debt of two
millions!—N. Y. HoraJd.
Battle or Dunhah. —“A thick fog had

It was just before the moment of victory

inspired —inspired with the thought of a
triumph so mighty and resistless— Now let
the Lord arise and his enemies shall he
scattered! At this a shout broke forth from
the English soldiers which seemed to rend
the sky, and the rout of the enemy was
complete and faithful. ‘The horse:’ says
Hudson fled what way they could get, ours
pursued towards Haddington ; and the Ge
neral made a halt and sung the hundred
and seventeenth psalm; and by the time they
had done, their party was increased and
advancing ; the Scots ran and were no more
heard of in that fight. The commander of
our army was busy in securing the prisoners
and the whole hag and baggage; and af
terwards we returned to bless God in our
tents like Issachar, for the great salvation
afforded to us that day.”

ingly, on Sunday he ascended the pulpit;
sung and prayed ; read his text, and stop

towards the rafters and then on the floor—
in a merciless quandary. At length lan

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET,
Sunday, Aftirclt 31, 6 P. M.
Yesterday morning Wall street was filled with
astonishment by the receipt of the. intelligence, for
the first time, of the resignation of Mr. Biddle, the
able and accomplished President of the United States
Bank of Pennsylvania, and the appointment of Mr.
Dunlap in his place. At tho opening of business
there was a depression in consequence of the news.
This soon gave way to u better feeling and it was
considered the harbinger of good, inasmuch as it
was supposed he would not have resigned his post
did he foresee troublesome times ahead. Stocks con
sequently rose, and nt the close of the board left off
at an improvement on the rates of Friday. The U.
S. Bank opened ut 110, a decline of 9 per cent, but
immediately rose, and the last sale was nearly equal
to that of the previous day.
The Philadelphia banks, like those of New York,
are in a very strong and sale position, and not likely
to be affected by the difficulties which seem to be en
compassing the southern banks. The war rumors
have doubtless not only checked the spring trade,
hat have struck from under the southern bunks the
prop on which they learned in a precarious resump
tion, befor. the products of the soil should have fur
nished their debtors with the means of reimbursing
them their old loans. Their immediate resources
arc hereby cut oft', while their immediate liabilities
arc great and pressing.
