Sir—ld addition to my communication of to-
I
„ • an< ! Branch «. I herewith forward an
exlraet from, the mmutea of the Board of Direr -
tors, expressive of the.r views wkh regard to tl e
1839 .ho; 1 * 5 ' I— 2-.
1839, the one entitled “An ac. to amend an *-t 1
more effectually to secure the solvency of all the
Bankmtx In.tituttor* of this State, passed 24th |
day of December 1832/’ And the other, -An
aa to | revent the several Banks of this Stale
from selling’, or disposing of exchange, at a high
er rate per cent than herein expressed, under cer
tain conditions, and to prescribe the mode of pun
ishraent tor a violation of the same;” which is
respectfully submitted.
Ami 1 have the honor to he,
1 obedient servant,
tr BULLOCH, President.
H„ E jcellenc,CW J. McDonald, Governor
o* or S * 1 » M i Hedge vi lie.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Direc
°f , B i nk of »he State of Gcorgta. on
Friday, 20th March, 1840. the follov*ngeipre«-
ston of toe op, mon of the Board of Directors of
this Lank was adopted in response to the commu
nications therein referred to, and ordered to be
entered upon the minutes.
A communication from the ollice at Eatontos,
requesting “the views of this Board, in reference
to the law of the last Legislature, requiring an 1
oath in relation to the indebtedness of indmdaal
directors, was taken into consideration.
A letter received from Mr. Hcnrv, Cashier of
the Branch at Augusta, was also laid before the
board, communicating the opinion of the Direc
lors at that Office, with regard to the-further re
quisitions upon the Banks by the two acts of the
last Legislature, by which it appears that there is
a coincidence with those entertained here. *
This Board determines tomake general re
turns ot the Bank to the Legisfatare as hereto
fore, agreeably to the law of the 24th December,
1832, and recommend to the Branches, to make
each its separate return of its state and condition,
in conformity with the first section of the act re
ferred to by the Eatonton Office, at the same
lime that they make their report to the principal
Bank.
ihe Bi>ard of Directors confidently affirm,,
that the farther returns required by the acts of
the last Legislature, have aot been called for by ‘
any improper conduct gu tfie part of this Bank, !
and that those acts seriously interfere with essen- i
tial vested chartered and individual rights—and i
as this Bank and the other Banks of the city j
have made unceasing efforts to preserve a good i
currency, it is-confidently hoped that the candid, I
fair and honest exposition which they have serni- !
annually made of their state and condition, and !
which they will continue to do, will sustain the
reputation and high standing of the Dank and all
its Branches. The Board, however, will be ever
ready and willing to expose the books, and ex
hibit the condition of. the Bank, and its entire
management to the moot scrutinizing, examina
tion of commissioners that the Legislature may
appoint for that purpose, as they cheerfeilly did
upon a previous occasion, when a former Legis
lature directed an investigation into the affairs of
all the Banks of the Slate.

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg.to Augusta,.on Satur
day afternoon, May 30, 1 threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. Wheal arrived at the landing, I came off’
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
