ly appeared Amory Sibley .President, and George
W. Lamar Cashier, ofthe Mechanioa’ Bank, Au
gusta, who being duly sworn, say that the above
is the report made by the President and Directors
of said Bank, on Monday, the 7th day of April,

GEO. W. LAMAR, Cashier.
Sworn to and subscribed before me. this 12th A

For tho Country Pppsr.
The Bank of Washington, at Wasing
ton City, has been compelled to an*
nounce its inability longer to discharge
ils engagements in gold and silver. The
Board of Directors assert that the Bank
is fully capable ot meeting all it engage*
meats.
The Farmers' Bank of Chattahoochee
Most of the stock of this institution
has been transferred into other hands
within the last week, and the officers
changed. The directors now are.
Gen. A. Lawhon,
Isaac Mitchell, Esq.
Dr. John B. Kennedy.
Mr. Thomas L. Jackson.
Col. John Milton.
Gen. A. LAWHON, President.
Robert W. Carnes, Esq. Cashier,
We aie gratified to state that edward
cary, Esq. the former Cashier of the
Bank, has examined the books kept since
the installation of Gen. Sanford, and
finds the statement of that gentleman, as
published in his card of last week, re
garding lhe solvency ofthe bank, wholly
correct. Mr. C. expresses his entire ap
probation of the management of the in
stitution since he left it, and is satisfied
that the assets of the bank are amply suf
ficient to redeem all the bills of its issue
now in circulation.
The new direction are active in their
efforts to put a sufficient quantity ofspe.
cie in their vaults to recommence busi
ness. Twenty thousand dollars, we un
derstand,have been deposited there since
the transfer. It is expected the bank
will go into operation again in the course
of sixty days, or perhaps sooner. We
would take the opnortunity of cautioning
the holders of bills against parting with
them at a discount,feeling assured, as we
do, that the bank will be ready to redeem
them in a very short time. As has alrea
dy been said, if the bank was solvent
when Judge Shorter and Mr. Cary left
it (and all concur in the statement that it
was) it must be solvent now, for no new
paper has been discounted since that
time, nor has one cent ofthe funds been
used but for the redemption of the bills.
Every dollar of the accomodation paper
which the bank holds now was held at
that time and although they can’t be imme.
diately availableto the institution, we are
informed that there is not a bad or doubt*
ful debt amongst them. — Columbus Sen*

Congress. —A portion of the proceed
ings of the House of Representatives on
Friday evening, during the confusion
on the previous question, was omitted by
by our reporters, in the report of that
day.
Colonel Crocket rose to order. He
had been endeavoring, he said,for a week
past, to catch the Speaker’s eye. That
he was anxious to make a speech, - and
was prepared to do so, but that he had
been prevented twice by lhe previous ques
lion. He therefore wished to know of
the Speaker, if it would be in order for
him to write out his speech, and publish
it as delivered on the floor.
The Speaker, we believe, made no de
cission on the point, as there seemed to
be an universal approbation on lhe part
of the House, we hope the Col: will take
it as an assent on their part to the inti
mation given by him. We hope, there
fore, soon to see the speech that was to
have bcen.-U. S. Telegraph.
Original Anecdote Several years
since a celebrated juggler “held forth”
some of his tricks of Legerdemain in this
village;& among others, puting a watch in
to a bag, “smashed it all to pieces,” and
by saying “Presto!” restored the watch,
uninjured, to its owner. A young lad
who was present thinking it a very pretty
as well as very easy trick, took advan
tage of his father’s absence the next day,
placed his gold repeater in a pillowcase
and smashed it effectually. To his no
small chagrin, iu spite of “Presto!” it
“staid smashed.”
Old Maids. — I consider, says Gold
smith, an unmarried lady declining into
the vale of years, as one of those charm*
ing countries bordering on China, that
lies waste for want of proper inhabitants.
We are not to accuse the country, but
some of its neighbors who are insensible
of its beauties though at liberty to enter
and cultivate the soil.
Gaming— lt is possible that a wise and
good man may be prevailed upon to game
—but it is impossible that a professed
gamester should be a wise and good
man.
“77ie last of the Missionaries."—Un
der this head the Cherokee Phoenix
mentions the removal of the reverend
Samuel Worcester and family from with
in lhe limits of Georgia to Brainard in
Tennessee, preparatory, it is armoured,
Ito their emigration to Arkansas. Their
quitting our state was not voluntary.—
They resided on a lot embracing several
improvements, previously relinquished
by the Indians who had made them. The
laws of the state and the justice of the
' drawer, and rhe state agent, in obedience
, to official duty, ordered Mr. Worcester
> o remove.— Col. Sentinel.
i
J Parisian Fashions.— 11 appears by the
( latest accounts of the modes in Paris that
. the ladies have adopted a sleeve in com*
) parison with which the celebrated gif°t
’ sleeves seem as nothing. The sleeves
are called sacs monchons, and never was
a name better applied, for they are in*
- deed as capacious as sacks. They are
! lined with fur, and are altogether of im
’ posing appearance and dimensions.—
' Pockets which have long been looked
, upon with horror by Parisian belles, are
now again in vogue. The opening is
• concealed by fringe or lace, of various
colours, which gives a pretty finish to
the dress..
Responsibility.— Clem contracted with
a wharfinger to complete a job in “his pur
feshum.” Clem was a contractor, and
instead of “liftin’ ob de saw,” himself, en
gaged Cuff to do the laborious;part of the
business, paying him therefor at a rate
xvhich would afford the contractor a prof
it.—When Cuff ascertained this fact, he
blubbered “Wha for you keepa any back,
you do no work !”
“Wha for! Why you nigger doo’t you
know, *1 take a de responsibility!”
iWhat has Gen. Jackson done for usl
He has just concluded a treaty with
Spain, in settlement of our long-standing
claims against that nation. The son of
Mr. Van Ness, our Minister, ‘is on his
way to this country with despatches an
nouncing the completion of this treaty
which secures to the merchants of our
country millions of dollars.’ This (says
a N. York papei) is the last of the batch
of long-deferred claims against foreign
countries, brought to a satisfactory con
clusion by the decision of the present ad
ministration and the ability of its diplo
matic agents.’—From the letter of Gen.
Lafayette, too, we augur that the French
Government is about to carry their treaty
with us into effect.—All these claims have
been pressed by President after Presi
dent, from time to time, in vain.—Jack
son alone has succeeded in securing them.
Will Mr. Wm. Preston forgive us, for
exclaiming, after his satirical strokes the
other day in lhe Senate: "Hurrah for
Jackson."!
Matrimony.— A young couple recently
went to church in Wiltshire to be married
but lhe parson not coming until about an
hour after the appointed time, the young
lady changed her mind, and would not
be married; on which the lover, who is
an attorney, declared that he would bring
his action against lhe parson, for the loss
of his wife and fortune.
York, England.— Mysterious affair.
Last Friday afternoon,as lhe wotkmen
were employed io digging the foundation
of a wall in front of an addition to Ute
grounds of Miss Nelson, in Boolham, up
on the site of a house which has just been
taken down, one of them was alarmed by
observing the skeleton of a hand protrud
ing above the surface, at the depth of 3
feet, and not below the foundation of the
house. The earth was then removed
carefully away, and lhe whole of the
skeleton was exposed. It appeared to
be the remains of a boy about 14 years of
age, all the teeth were pet feet, but the
skull exhibited indications of much vio
lence. A medical gentleman who saw
the remains gave it as his opinion that
they had been in their mysterious place
of sepulture, which was under the par
lour floor, about 30 years. There were
no indications of any remnant of wearing
apparel, and at present nothing is known
to throw any light upon this evidence of
some dark and strange affair.
Tragical Event.— A Mormon preach
er announced some short time since to
lhe inhabitants of a town in the western
part of New York, that he would walk
and preach on the water. It was discov.
ered, previous to lhe day of miracles
that a line of plank had been laid over a
shallow Dond,fuur inches from the surface
The centre of the pond consisted of deep
and soft mud; some of the inhabitants,
through mischief, sawed the plank in
this dangerous spot. At the day ap
pointed he commenced his march a
cross the water in presence of a large and
astonished assembly. Just as the mira
cle seemed to have wrought conviction
in the multitude, of his divine power, he
stepped upon one of lhe detached pieces,
sallied side wise, and instantly plunged,
floundering and sinking into the watery
mire. He sank, and long befoie the con**
fused assembly were in a condition to af
ford him relief, peiished, a victim to his
imposture.— Free Press.
Lots of the Steamboat Protector.—
This splendid new boat was totally des
troyed by fire on monday night. She was
lying at James’ landing about forty miles
this side of Claiborne, taking in cotton,
and at 1q o’clock a fire was discovered
in the hold which in a few minutes en
veloped the Boat in flames. Among the
passengers were the lady of Judge Tait,
Mrs. Kennedy, and three other ladies,
with ton or twelve gentlemen. They
had barely time to escape with a part on
ly ot their clothing and baggage. There
was about 200 bales of cotton, some hides,
and other freight on board, which toge*
lher wi'h the Boat were totally destroy
ed. We have not learned the cause of
lhe fire.
The Protector was entirely new, built
as we are informed under the superinten
dence of Captain Haggarty,and valued at
$20,000. She was not insured.
Mobile Register.
An Unpleasant Fellow. A boy once
complained to his brother for taking hill
tho bed. “And why not?” said lhe mo
ther; “he’s entitled to half, ainthe?”—
“Yes, ma’am,” taid the boy; but should
you like to have him take out all the soft fur
his half?—He will have his half out of the
middle and 1 have to sleep both sides of
him!”
Novel Application of Electricity, or a
new way to pay old debts.— A certain
physician, who possessed a powerful E
lectrical Machine, discovered a sheriff
making rapid strides towards his house,
and suspecting, from circumstances that
he had some designs on his personal lib
erty, the worthy M. D. made preparations
accordingly, to ward off the anticipated
attack. Attaching a conductor (from his
electrical to the knocker on
the front door, he then charged the ma
chine to a very high degree, and waited
i the result. The steps which ascended
It he door had an elevation of fourteen feet.
Clothed io all lhe importance of law, the
sheriff ascended and with a firm grasp,
seized the fatal knocker. Instantly ho
found himself at the bottom of the steps.
After having recovered in some measure,
from a blow given by an invisible power,
and having collected his scattered write
and executions, together with his scatter
ed senses, he made a second attempt,
wondering at this strange method of pay
ingdebts. Meanwhile the doctorhad again
charged his faithful conductor. Nosooner
had the sheriffagain dated to touch the fa
tal knocker, than he found himself twelve
feet nearer the centre of the earth a se
cond time. Remembering the old adage
“beware of a third time,” he immedi
ately quit the premises, leaving the doc
tor in full possession of the “castle,” he
had so well defended.
Indian Anecdote.— John Sequash
quash,an Indian of the remnant of a tribe
in Connecticut, was some years since
brought before a justice of the peace on
some charge or other, which we do not
now recollect. John happened to be
drunk at the time, and instead of answer*
ing directly to the question put by the
justice, merely muttered out—“ Your
Honor is very wise—very wise—yy-y
your Honor is v-very wise—l say.”
Being unable to get any other answer
from him, the justice ordered him to be
locked up till the next day; when John
was brought before him perfectly sober.
“Why, John,” said lhe justice, ‘you
wore drunk as a beast last night.’
‘Drunk!’ ejaculated the Indian.
‘Yes, drunk as a beast. When I ask*
ed you any question, the only answer
you made was,‘Your honor’s very wise
—very wise—very wise.’
“Did I call yonr Honor wise?” said
the Indian, with a look of increduli
‘y*
‘Yes,’ answered the magistrate.
‘Then,’ replied John, ‘I mats have
been drunk, true enough.’
A private letter from New York, re
ceived in Philadelphia, says, that it is
now ascertained, that more than 300
votes for Verplanck, were thrown away,
Gulian G. Verplank, instead of Gulian
C. Verplanck.

lie described, as she has been frequentlyseen at
rhe Sand Hills with different dresses on. She
is doubtless hatboied by some person; and if so,
I will give One Hundred Dollars for proof to
conviction. She has a scar from a burn, round
the neck, received about two years ago from her
clothes catching fire. All persons on the Hili,
seeing such a girl, are requested to take her up.
ALSO,
Another Negro Woman, about the first of
October last, named PHCEBE, with course fea
tures, small hollow eyes and one or two of her
upper teeth out, and a scar on her breast, one
or two inches larg-*, making a lump. It was
probably from a burn. She is a dirty, filthy
looking negro, about 40 years old.
A reasonable reward will be given for the
apprehension of lhe above negroes.
