CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AUtiI’STA. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17. In oar paper of Tuesday, we expressed the opinion that the present distress among the peo ple for money, was aggravated by the course pur sued by our Banks. The circulation of these in stitutions is now less than it has been for twenty years, and of course the amount of money in the hands of the people is less. Could the Banks, by union among themselves and concert of action, ameliorate the prevailing distress, without en dangering the currency ! We ur hesitatingly believe they could ; and do not scruple to express the opinion that it is more from a want of will than of ability that they do not do k. VV ith a few exceptions, the Banks are now in a state of suspension, and people do not expect of them to redeem their issues in specie. That they are deemed solvent, by the c< mmunity, is evidenced by the fact that their bills circulate freely, and are taken in payment for debts of every descrip g lion. That they possess the power of adminis tering relief, is evidenced by the feet that, while they refuse to discount any description of mer cantile paper, they will, at any time, discount bills of exchange upon Charleston or Savannah, whether the drawer has funds against which to draw or not!! They will thus discount fictitious bills, when they can wring out of applicants a double profit from interest and exchange, while they refuse to discount business paper at the shortest time, or of the most approved character. Here is the process of operation by which these institutions reap a usurious interest by-“whip ping the devil round the stump.” A B,being desirous of raising money, goes to a Bank, and says, “Will you discount u bill upon • Charleston for SIOOO, for sixty days V* “Yes.” “Upon what terms?” “Interest oil’.” The bill is discounted and A B receives $987 50 as the nett proceeds of his bill. At the end |of sixty days when life bill falls due in Charles ton, he goe»to the Dank at which he obtained # 4he discount to purchase a draft to meet the bLU f and is compelled to pay four per cent, premium on SIOOO, lor it. Here then he ha* paid $5“ 50 tor the useof $987 50 for sixty days besides post' age, bein j over 5 per cent, lor that lime, and at the rate of over 30 per cent per annum ! ! But suppose he ships cotton to Charleston to meet his bill, then the Bank will sell tiw exchange created by his bill at four percent, premium, re alizing $52 50, in sixty days in the shape of in terest upon a loan of 1000 dollars tor that time !! Why Shy lock himself could not beat this !! We charge that our banks are in the habit of doing this description of paper, thereby making usurious profits, and do it too with a full knowl edge that parly drawing the bill has no funds 3 in Charleston!! And yet they rigorously refuse to dis. wunt any sort of mercantile paper which ° only yields an interest of 7»per ceiat. per annum. Now it they have the ability to do this grinding sort of business, they have an equal ability to do an honest business for the accommodation and benefit of the public. But by refusing to do a regular business and compelling «iieir debtors to pay up, they aggravate the pressure of the times and thereby constrain a resort on the part of those in distress, to system of drawing fictitious bills. It is by such means as this that while the are impoverished, the banks grow fat ! ad of doing any thing for the relief of the üblic; they are every day drawing tha and tighter, until; finally the pa tient will become strangled, and then the banks will very magnanimously lay their hands upon every thing he possesses. Things are approach ing that crisis now—debtors hav» paid up until they can no longer pay. not for the want of pro- P® r, y* but for the inability to make property avail able to raise money—By their former profuse liberality thhev induced people to go in debt, and they now seem determined to make use of their power to produce indiscriminate ruin, by cutting off the means of payment. We shall “continue the horehound.” It IS gratifying to witness the promptitude and fidelity with which the agents of the Post Office Department m general perform ;heir public du ties.—ran Buren's Message. Did Mr. Van Huron believe what he said, or did he merely intend the above as a part of that system ot bumbuggery of which his whole ca reer has been composed. Since the 15th day of November last, «r« do not believe that one half ot the mails on the great Northern and Southern route have beer, received at their proper lime There are now three or four due. and it in alto gether uncertain when we .hall e-er get another. people ot this country ami generation were born to lie humbugged, and the-; had as well he* humbugged in the name of timocracy as anj thing else; and perhaps an ; well by Van Buren ns any other creeping creature. “Pune tuilitv and fidelity” indeed ! In *€ purer days of the Republic, a President woulc have blussi to have tp*Je such a statement; but in tii « corrupt Umes, the people will believe a h e s f j. flatters their party prejudices, and Van Buren has sense enough to profit by stupidity. Si* The Washington correspondent.of the Charles ton Courier, under date of the iOth. states that Hsnry D. Gilpin, Eaq., late Solictoi of the Treas o ur T. the new Attorney General, vice Mr. Grun The appointment was offered to Mr. Dallas a ß d Mr. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, but both gemWme„ declined it; ihe latter « now senator m Con greM , and ig occwjonally spoken of for the next President- K . I n n k . r Mr. Dallas had for dechng the k me office, in a suliect of marvel, inasmuch as his fi nanwj . f ... .. anc ** said to be in a ahatteml condition, and thk w ~ , characterized by Sam Weller.

I' The Virginia liuaac of Delegate# hava fixed upon the 23d inst. as the day for electing a Sen ator of the U. S. The Tallahassee Star of the 9th says, that Col* Fitzpatrick arrived on Tuesday, at St. Marks from Cuba with thirty three blood hounds, and six Spaniards, their trainers and keepers. If these bounds are put into service, we have more confi dence in the speedy close of the Seminole War than ever before, W’e should like to see this clique of dogs, lit must be a “ bully crowd. To the Editors of the Federal Lnion : Seeing my nane announced in your last paper as one of the Directors of the Central Bank, I hand you the following copy of a note to His Excellency for publication. A. H. KENAN. Mu lkbokville. Jan. 7th, 1840. To His Excellercy Charles J. McDusaui : Sir—For reaions verbally give-n your Excel lency yesterday, (and which you are at liberty to use,) my declension of the preferred honor of a Directorship in the Central Bank, with Tomlin son Fort and William D. Jarratt. Esquires, can not be unexpect?d to you. W'ith little or no ex perience in banking, I should act unwisely to as sume responsible duties in a direction with men whose former inefficiency and errors in the man agement of the Central Bank were censured, unanimously, by the Legislature of 1837. In addition, Sir, mj admiration for the mai-ly inde pendence of Gen. Sanford in repelling Executive dictation, by a refusal to vote for Dr. Fort for | the Presidency of the Central Bank, (for which I presume the Gen. was excluded the direction,) forbids that I, entertaining the same views, should occupy a less enviable position. Very respectful ly, A. H. KENAN. News from the Cherokees. Lit»le Race, (Ark.) Dec. 18. By Col. T. J. Pew, who arrived here late last evening, four days from Fort Smith, we learn that Jack Nicholson, one of the murderers of Major Ridge, and an Indian named Terrell, and two oth ers, charged with being concerned in disturban ces in the Cherokee nation, have been arrested by commands under Lieut. Porter, of the 4th in fantry, and Northi up, of the Ist dragoons. The prisoners are now on their way to this city, un der the charge of the U. S. Marshal, Major E Rector, and will be here in a day or two. The Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Capt. Wm. Armstrong, has received instructions to withhold all annuities and payments to the Che rokee:-. except mere suhsistance, until affairs in that nation shall become in a more settled state.— Gazette. The Richmond Whig holds the following lan guage in speaking of the refusal of the Governor of New York lo deliver up a citizen charged with stealing a slave from Virginia : We are wronged in this. Our property has been st- len by citizens of New York; the authori ties of that State refuse, in violation of good faith and of the Federal compact, to deliver up the thieves to l»e punished by our laws. The alter natives for us are plain and simple; either submit to the wrong without a word of complaint, or take steps to redrei-s it. without regard to consequen ces. Mn. Jacdox’s xrw Loan.—Letters from London, by the last packet, speak of a new loan in market on account of the U. S. Bank. The project is something as follows :—Post Notes are issued by the .Bank bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent, payable one half in October 1841, and the other half in October, 1842. The Post Notes, or debentures as they are rail ed in London are otfeied at 92, which makes the actual rate of interest about 10 per cent. Roths childs head the subscription, and there are depo sited in their l and as security, State Stocks, some what in conformity to the following list. The loan is £900,000. 1.500.000 Pennsylvania, 5 per cent stock. 1.500.000 Michigan, 6 do do 1.500.000 Missis-ippi, 6 do do 250.000 Illinois, 6 do do 250.000 Arkansas, 6 do do U. States axd Texax Boundary.— The commissioners of the two countries, appointed to run and mark the bounoary, were at the mouth oi the Sabine at the last dates. The Mobile Journal remarks that the boundary to be determi ned is the sane that was established with Spain by the treaty of 1819. which was a terwards re established by treaty with Mexico in 1832, and to the obligation; of which Texas succeeds. Con vention after convention was agreed upon between our government and that of Mexico, before the separation of Texas, to have the line run and marked; but in consequence of the political trou bles in Mexico, it was never completed. The line commences at the mouth of the river Sabine, continuing along the Western bank of that river till it reaches the point where the 32d degree of North latitude strikes the Sabine—thence due North till the line strikes the Red river ; thence along the cou ise of the river to the 100th degree of longitude West from London; thence North to the Arkansas river, along that river to its source in latitude 42 degrees, and along that paral el to the Pacific. The determining of these parallels of latitude is the object of the commissioners. The officers are men of high reputation for sci ence, and have with them very costly and deli cate instruments.— Baltimore American. Ballooxixg.—A Mr. Charles Green, through the columns of the London Observer, proposes to cross the Atlantic ocean from New York to Eng land in a balloon. The Observer says : Mr - Green has authorized the following state ment of the grounds upon which he founds his assertion ol the possibility ol making ajourney in a balloon from New York, across the Atlantic to Europe. He states that balloons inflated with carburetted hydrogen, or common coal gas, will retain this fluid unimpaired in its buoyancy, and very slightly diminished in quantity, for a great length of time; while on the contrary the pure hy drogen is so subtle a gas, and capable of so great a degree of tenuity, as to escape through the im perceptible pores of the silk, whether prepared in the ordinary manner or by means of dissolved In dia rubber. 1. hese facts are the result of observations made during 275 ascents; on many of these occasions, a smaller balloon has been filled at a neighboring gas works, aid has been brought a distance of five or six miles to fill that in which he intended to ascend, retaining, in many instances, its con tents nearly the same in quantity and quality for nearly a weeit. The teronaut has travelled 2,900 miles with the same supply of gas, and could have continued its use for three months, if neces sary. As to making the voyage from America lo Eoropa, Mr. Grata dates its peeeihilit? from the blowing facts :-On all occasions in which tiie balloons in which he or other sronauts had gained an altitude beyond the lower current of a.r, or land-breezes, they fo u „d one uniform cur rent of air coming from the Atlantic, and blowing wet. northwest, or weal by north, while the un der winds, from different causp. ki Iron, point, -ompletely ,t variance with the Zv* the ascent ol the machine into the K up „,. r cur ’ rent, •. perfectly easy, and the i r i«dß 'll/"." 1 ' u r wi,h «!“•' f«r/. In 1836, Mr. Green made aproposu 10 n at Pa ns to cross ihe Atlantic in a balloon, when • received a letter from Admiral Sir Sidney Smi^ [ confirming his observations as to the directions • of the upper currents, and in which that gallant officer states his conviction of the safety of the proposed undertaking, and his readiness to ac company the sronaut from New York to Europe in his balloon. It must be kept in mind that a j balloon is not borne along as is a ship, by the force of the wind, having to overcome the imped iment interposed by passing through a denser el ; ement like the water, but is a body lighter than ■ the air itself in which it fl iats, and is wafted at ■ the same speed as the air itself travels, as if it were a part of the moving body. The wide ex panse of sea offers no impediment to the under taking, and a machine as large as the Nassau ballon could easily be fitted up for the reception of three persons, and victualled for three or tour r months, if necessary. [ The machine could be lowered to the earth and ; ascend as often as it pleased the voyagers, by the adoption of the same plans as those used in the voyage to Germany. Mr. Green, having estab lished the facts of a current of air continually passing round the eaith in the direction of west north- west, the capability of his machine to re tain the carburetted hydrogen gas for an unlimit ed time, and of its power of sustaining itself in the air for weeks—under these circumstances, and trusting to the faith he has always endeavored to keep with the public as a claim to their confi dence on this occasion, offers to take upon him- ; self to traverse the Atlantic from New \ ork to England in a balloon to be constructed lor that purpose, and that he will make the experiment without any reward for his exertions. New-York Legislature.— -The Legislature of New-York, convened at Albany on Tuesday. In the Senate, Lieut. Governor Bradish took the chair as presiding officer, and on the roll being called by the Clerk, 27 members answered to their names. The H-*use was organized by the election of Geo. W. Patterson, as Speaker; Philander B. Prindle. Clerk; MinusMagoun, Sergeant alarms; Samuel Francis, Door-keeper; Abraham H. Grove stein, Assistant Door-keeper. All Whigs. The V. B. candidate for Speaker was Andrew G. Chatfield, who received 56 votes—Patterson 68. Patterson’s majority 12. Several members ab sent. On the same day Governor Seward delivered his annual Message which is of immense length, occupying 9$ closely printed columns in the Al- 1 bany Evening Journal. It appears from this document, that the gross income from the Canals during the last fiscal year, was $1,657,102; being an increase of $165,- 202 over the previous year. Nett proceeds from , tolls, $1,057,803. Present productive capital of the Common School Fund, $1,978,069. Literature Fund, $268,164. Bank Fund, $818,821. Whole number of Convicts in Sing Sing State Prison. 805. Received during the year, 209. Convicts in Auburn Prison, 665. Received du ring the year, 228. Earnings at Sing Sing du ring the year, $73,202; expenditures, including moneys paid foi the completion of the prison for . female convicts, $73,450. Earnings at Auburn, . $60,161; expenditures, $51,671. t Whole number of militia of the State, 180,103, > viz. 7,437 cavalry and horse artillery, 9,256 ar . tillery, and 160,420 infantry. t The present State indebtedness, after making , allowance for funds on hand, is $9,020,899. The . estimated cost of completing the Erie Canal en largement, is $9,292,886 ; do. of completing the Genesee Valley ( anal, $2,900,123; do. Black ( River Canal, $1,550,156. Total, for all these | works, $23,743,165. The interest on this sum, at 5 per cent, would be $1,187,158. ; With a view to avoid, as far as may be, the burdens which those works would impose upon I the Treasury, if prosecuted rapidly to completion, Gov. Seward recommends that the plans of all the unfinished works be referred to cooqietent , engineers, for the purpose of ascertaining what pans of the same may be delayed without detri ment to the public interest, and what expense may be saved by executing other portions in a marine' equally effective and durable, but more plain and economical than that hitherto pursued. The Governor urges a distribution of the pro ceeds of the public lands among the several States. Also, that the State of New York upon the “fulfilment of the pledge of the Federal Gov ernment” in regard to the fourth instalment of the surplus revenue. “The portion of that in stalment due to this State,” he says, “is $1,338,- 173 57.” In regard to the requisition made upon the Ex ecutive of this State, by the Governor of Vir ginia, fer the surrender of three persons as fugi tives I'om jusiice, charged with having felonious ly stolen a negro slave from that Stale, Governor Seward says: I confess my surprise that it should in any part of the Union be regarded as a new and startling doctrine that the constitutional power of the Ex ecutive of any other State, to demand the surren der of a citizen of this State to be carried to the former and tried for an offence committed there, is limited to cases in which the offence charged is recognized as criminal by the statute laws of this State, by the common law, or by the univer sal law of mankind. Nor can I withhold the ex pression of my sincere regret that a construction of the constitution, manifestly necessary to main tain the sovereignty of this State and the perso nal rights of her citizens, should he regarded by the Executive of Virginia as justifying in any contingency a menace of secession from the Union. For the Chronicle ts Sentinel. Messrs. Editors:— Having seen by the pa pers that a meeting of the Augusta Benevolen t i Society is to be held on Friday evening next,)[ hope sir, the public will feel an interest in thin meeting. Especially as the Society has expend i available funds , and is now penny less* i A nd we know that a Benevolent Society, with ' out the means to alleviate the distresses of hu [ man wretchedness, is like an engine at a fire ; without the means to extinguish the flame.— ■ Let us not suppose that because the epidemic ; does no longer rage in our city, that theiefore the afflictions of the poor have ceased to exist. No i sir, they do exist, and will exist so long as the ’ world shall have an existence.

But it is said, to . me* to you. to all, who have bread enough, and i to spare, “ and tvhensoever ye will," <te Now i sir, Ido net understand ky it that it i« optional with me to do, or not to do good ; and I should f presume that every individual who feels that he or she, is an accountable creature, is sensibly impressed with this truth, that it is an i mpeiious duty enjoined upon us, to do good—to communi cate to our fellow men, who are not placed in such favorable circumstances as w« are of the good things the Lord in his providence has given to ue, having the eyes of our mind fixed upon the last day of accounts, when all our accouts shall he settled in righteousness with him , made ug his stewards, and has said to as.

Believing that this enlightened community views it in this light, I hope there will be a large and liberal audience, fully prepar ed to put something into the treasury of the Lord.

When ’tis required but to sign. The awful state of thirty nine, Will prove the assertion not to sign, And tell you that the credit system, Is not the dictates of true wisdom.

The coming months are soon at hand, And oh! then’ll be a great demand. So now, in time, just state the case. To the creditors, with good grace.

EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children ; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores end healing the gums; thereby preventing convu,sions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm. Evans' Medical Office, 100 Chatham street. New York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup : Dear Sir —The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa tent how essential an early application of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture. My infant, when teething, experienced •uch acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuxug m its use, I am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you rny cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumst: nee. WM. JOHNSON.
