This new and marvellous institution was unex
pectedly discovered on last Thursday, under tho
nmnsive ruins of old Fort Wayne, hy onu of tho
myriads, who are delving daily for tho sparkling
snow-like sand (lint nhniinds in ihe region of it*
discovery, on tho eastern extremity of Bay-street.
We learn that a little darken, while filling hi*buck
et, found several gold pieces (quarter Eagles) and
that subsequently several enterprising adventurers
have visited this El Dorado, and secured nearly
$-100, assorted in Spanish Doubloons, coined in
1832, aud other pieces, mostly American Quarter
Engles of 1833 and ’4.

gnd pocketed tho “yollow hoys," was nothing to
nobody.
P. 8.—Wo hope that nil tho alhtr Bank* of
Georgia, will soon deserve tho honorable title wo
have appended to the Bank of Old Foyt Wayne.

national institution, and had he been satisfied to
have controlled a charter wilh a capital lees engross
ing titan that with which he strived to be the head
of the finance and commerce of Uie country, hs

ia now a by-word and a reproach.
Let the people of Georgia take counsel from
the fate of Mr. Biddle and of those whose capital
he mismanaged.
Thoir capital Im*also been embarked in a hazard
ous business. Immense sum* which might havo
been appropriated to object* which will, when
completed advance tho interest* of her citizen*,
have been loaned to a portion, and consequently
are now beyond her control.
The State whoso treasure should have been ex
pended iu the great cause of education, of Internal
Improvement, Ac., ha* turned hanker and the peo
ple borrower* of that capital, wrung hy the Tax
Gatherer from the citizen, and yet public opinion,
misguided public opinion, we fear, i* crying out
for the support of a Bank, which should be wound
up lo restore u healthy currency. Wo ulludo to
tho Central Bunk.
- Until the note* running to maturity in this Bank
arc placed in those of our Htnte Bank* which arc
solvent, to he paid with gradual reduction*, mid
tliis experiment nf Banking l>y a Stale arrested, it
will, wo fear, he futile to expect a sound currency.
We presume that to advocatn liny measure ad
verse to thn continuance of the Central Hank will
he a heresy ngaiust the publio opinum of a largi
majority of our citizens, hut this will not deter us
from suggesting what we deem will regenerate tho
character of tho Htnte nnd advance tho public
credit.
Our remark* aro general,at this time, but we
shall recur to the subject more in detail.
The C’nrrrnrri
We have *nid very littlo on this subject, for un
til the Legislature met, we could sou no remedy nt
our hand* for that stato of thing* brought abrtut by
the chartering nf (no many llnnk*. It was the re
sult of that speculative spirit which while it hone-
lilted portion* ofthuCoiinlry in muking llm Peo
ple embark in useful Rail Roads, which might
otherwise never havo hooti undertaken, ha* loft
tho curse attendant upon it* penetrating tho Halls
of legislation and making legislators belie vo thnl
Bank charters were all that worn wanted to make
tho people happy.
A distinguished Commercial writer on Curren
cy and Banking very correctly remark* that—
“Bank note* aro promises to pay on demand a
given quantity of coin i they nre promises to pay
money, but they are not money in themselves."
This is, says ho “an important distinction, nnd tho
not making it i* tho source of most of tho popular
errors on tho subject of currency."
What i* tho fact in our State 7 AInny of our
hanks which should be specie, paying hunks, cir
culate these promises as extensively a* they can
foist them upon thn community, and when called
upon to redueitt them, refuse payment.
This course ot conduct is treucherou* to tho
people whoso legislature invested them wilh char
tered privileges, not for tlieir Individual bouofil
hut for tliut public good which their associated
weulili, protected hy extraordinary privileges might
confer on the public. \
"Bank* are establishment* for tho purposo of
carrying on a trade or truffle iu money, or iu con
tracts or obligation* for tlie payment of money."
If hunk notes are in tho common transaction* of
men, preferred to the coin as more convenient,
and tint* in common parlance are culled money,
they soon lose all the characteristic* of money, if
they nru not convertible nt will into coin.
Utile** they coinmnml coin they nre worthies*
thn moment they are refused by a people, who
lake them no longer as a currency than their tie-
ccssitiu* require.
Public opinion ho* sanctioned to a lamciitnhlo
extent the failure or refusal of a Bank corporation
to perforin tho promise contained on the face of
the uole.
Instead of ita exciting tlie just indignation of the
community, the gentle name of tkepension of specie
payment* is applied lo this dereliction from the path
of duty.
Public opinion must be changed iu the crucible
of experience before tho present stale of tilings
can be corrected.
If one Bank) were to refuse to pay iu notes,
would ho viewed a* a broken hank, and public
opinion would condemn it to the rack, hut let three
or four proclaim that they are going to.suspend or
havo suspended, and if they Imppeu to be located
in a commercial city, udiurs seize upon tho excuse,
and tlie public so far from protesting ngaiust it,
commend or seent to commend tho act.
However erroneous public opinion may be on
on this groat question of the responsibility ofa hunk
to fulfil promptly tho obligation* which they Itavi
bonajhle made, it must be reformed before it can
be expected that hanks will perform thoif pro-
The Itoynl .11 nil Ntcnni Packet Company,
Wo have been permitted to read the letter allu
ded to in the Proceeding* of Council. It evinces

make a fair presentation of the cluiin* ofSuvannah
a* a port of communication with tho South; and
his belief, tliut in the end, no iusiiperablo obstacle

that the U. 8. refused to grant them a depot' on

and in government, to nssist this company ail fur

this, ns one of tho connecting links in their jvust
chain of communication, no act ofsorvico, ordiur-
tesy consistent with self respect, nnd a just regard
to our peculiar condition will he wanting.
There nre considerations associated wilh this suit-
jeet which merit our calm reflection. Hevoral
months since, we gave our views upon it, and re
marked nt some length upon several of tho promi
nent objections to tho plan. Tho opinions wo
pressed then, wo entertain now; they have been
rather strengthened, than weakened, hy various
dovelopoment* which hnvo since taken place; and
we cannot refrain from assorting, flint tho opera
tions of tliis, nnd the Canard Companies, will
provo deeply injurious to tho United States. Tho
enrringo of dry and light goods between Iiostonand
Liverpool is utmost entirely monopolized by the
Cuunrd steamers, which always come with full
freights. The rapidity with which they nre forward
ed, tho regularity of tlieir sailing, and tin- certainty
which i* placed on their nrrivul in a given time,
have almost broken up tho freighting business'be
tween those ports hy ships, to tho grant injury of
our commerce. It is to ho expected that merchants
will avail themselves of those advantages; thoyWo
in fact sommvhnt compelled to, nr tho spirit of rival
ry and competition will lenvo them in tlie distance.
Thus several thousand tons of shipping aro forced
to seek other markets, nnd pnr commerce ib just so
much infringed upon and destroyed. '
Again, all tho money which theso steamers derive
from their passengers, postage and freight list, goes
to England; hardly a dollar of it comparatively, is
expended hero. It all goes to swell the coders of
foreigu power, und the pockets of foreign mer
chants.
This Is a very aerions drain upon our funds; it
flows indeed in small und almost unnoticed streams,
lint it flows not less surely nor less eflcctively.
Theso however are hut tho beginning of evils;
evils which cannot he checked, until the govern
ment shall foster und encourage tlie plans proposed
hy several bodies of merchant* nt the North, hy
which, stenmers built nnd equipped hy them, with
authority to carry the mail*, and with a guarantee
of adopting the vessels in enso of war, shall he
launched nnd take tlieir places along tho coast, and
oven extend tlieir linos to Englnnd nnd the conti
nent. This i* the only trim American policy, and
i* the only policy which will secure our rights,both
national and commercial.

This title is getting to bo too cheap. Once it
was a title conferring some military distinction,
hut now forsooth, nearly every vagabond who
insults tho laws of a free people, wishes to usurp

The plcn of Insanity.
Wo nro pleased to see thatsoveral of thn loading
papers ofdm North, nro condemning dm looseness
of tlio law, hy which dii* plea, often unfounded, is
made looxtmmato din grossest criinos. The un
certainty uftnetoing out justico through tlio ordina
ry operation of law, involved a* that law, trto much
is, iu form nml technicalities, which so fur from
guarding it* strictims*, rather afford loop-holes of
escape, isalrendy too grant; lint when to dii* dm
doer of every criminal act i* made to put In a pica
of insanity for hi* deed, it hold* nut inducements
for crime, and the means of eacnpo to tho guilty.
Thi* was tho plea ofllnrdeuhurgli, who lately inur
tiered Mr. Husbrouck; of Wood, whoslewhisown
daughter, because she married against hi* will; of
Britton who killed Mis* Stevenson, in Cambridge
port, because she would not listen to his addresses;
and is now nude uso of hy tho friend* of Colt, in
order to screen him from tho vengenneoof a gross
ly violated law. Tree insanity is nnd over will ho,
a just excuse against the ceiuuiissian of uny crime
bocatiM) it involves n loss of moral responsibility,
nml no punishment can lie against it* net*. But if
tho *udden outbreaks uf passion, dm violent clmlli-
tious of feeling,tho fitfttl sallies ofa malign heart are
to he received iu our Courts ofjnstice, as a good nnd
sufficient exemption froincriminality,then the mur
derer has hut to lay his plans, feigntnaducs*,put ona
fictitious aberration of mind, look straugc. talk
wildly and conduct oddly, and dien commit die
deed of guilt, and plead by his counsel, insanity
as hi* excuse. What security has tho couimumty
if such plea* are dius lightly admitted f .Most rigid
ly should the law draw its decision on these points;
most scrupulously should it sift every evidence,
and reject, nay add if possiblo to die penalty of
those, who first plunge into crime and then cover
themselves wilh tho shield of insanity. • Nothing
but decidedly hereditary—long couUnned and une
quivocally defined aberration of mind should bo ot
all admissible; it should be »n insanity, not self-pro
duced by any prior course of inobrialion and disso
luteness, but only that which comes unbidden and
unprovoked; which i* a real dispensation of Pro
vidence; w hich is not engendered by the indi
vidual, and which he canuot avert, which

nality ofhi* deeds.

Mr. Garrison hoped that any man's authority
would he questioned. (Cries of Amen! Anieu!)
Mr. Alcott.—“Mr. President, will you read tho
resolution. I said Mr. President. 1 did not intend
Previous to nnd in the days of our revolution it
was the guordou of men, who with their good
sword* nnd noble heart* arrested tlie inroad* of
foreign foes, or the midnight incursions of ruth
less savages.
A Washington before, and a Washington after
tlie 4th July ’7fi, elevated this titlo of military dis
tinction, which nro bluzoned on tlie records of tlie
country.
Let not such a titlo ho desecrated hy being ap
plied to the outlaw or llto felon.
From the N. Y. Com, Adv. wo extract tho fol
lowing :
Colonel* AU.—Tho Vermont Legislature tho
other day, had tlie good sense so fur to honor Uie
titles of its own militin.aa to strikeout tlie titlo of
“colonel," which has been prefixed to tho name
of Grogan, in the resolutions respecting that noted
outlaw. They did well. 13ut in good sooth, it is
about time for all honest men to rid themselves of
this troublesome nnd now all hut universal titlo. A
mau hua only to go ouco into Canada aud rob a
hen roost, hunt a barn, and turn a few women
ami children into tlie snow in their night clothes,
to come buck n patriot nnd n colonel! Hence
“Col. Grogan," “Col. Grogan" stalks before our
eye.', in a. hundred newspapers every morning; and
on die heels of Grogan come* Colonel Motiroo
F.dwards! Alas for the title! Colonel! Coioucl!
Colonel! Colonel! The title will bo Uie dcaUi of
us.—AT, V. Com. Ado.
The End of Fnnaticiam.
Fanaticism begins in credulity, nnd ends in ul-
trniam. It employs reason, merely to abuse it, and
having rejected U10 decisions of jttdgmeut again
and again, Uie mind at last, left to it* own erratic
operations, runs into Uie most wayward excesses.
A convention lias recently been sitting in Boston,
flic prominent members of which, having exhaust
ed tlieir sympathy and fanaticism, on tho subject
of abolition, have now como to the grave conclu
sion, to oppose ull government, human or divine;
to reununce all allegiance to the Stato aud to the
Church, and to set aside every authority, on earth,
or in heaven. Last year, the convention voted,
that the bihte was not their rule of judgment of
right and vrroug; and this year Wui. Lloyd Gar
rison and others, introduced a resolution, the ob
ject of which was to annihilate the Church of Christ
on earth. In discussing this resolution
Mr. Edward Palmer proceeded to say that Uie
resolution of Mr. G. which we havo given, implied
“that tho Convention took as of authority Uie words
of Christ." He hoped that either the resoluUon
would be struck out or amended, so os to read
“that if Christ does enioin any such church, we
are uot thereby bound."
Mr. Garrison. “Tho reverence for Christ and
hu Apostles, stated iu th« resolution, does uot sig-
nify any thing of regaid to their authority. The
resoluUon merely states a fact"
Mr. Joshua Darts.—“I hoped that Uie authority
of Christ and hi* Apostles would uot he questioned
in this meeting. Ir it is, I cannot sit here long."
This Mr. Alcott, who hus run the rounds of
Grahaniism, Abolitionism, Transcendentalism, and
has now merged his belief into Nothingiem, went
on to say, Uint Jesus was an idol, which men wor
shipped; that the bible, ho wanted, was not one of
paper and ink, hut Uie ono witliiu him, and that he
could make os good a book, if he lived as greaUy
ns Christ did. We have not room to throw away
on their proceedings, and have ouly adverted to
them lo show the easy transition from one folly to
anoUier, each increasing in absurdity, until tho
powers of mind aro absolutely destroyed by
Uie grossest errors. He who rejects revelaUon, as
tho guide of life, is even less wise, Umn the mari
ner, who, navigating the most dangerous seas,
amidst shoals, rocks, and current* and tem
pests, should throw asido his compass and his
quudraut, unship his rudder, veil from his eyes the
sun and moon nnd Btnrs, and then expect
to voyage in safety to his destined port.
“I would rather," says nn elegant German wri
ter, Jean Paul, “dwell in the dim fog ofsuperstL
tion, than in air rnrified to nothing by U10 air pump
of unbelief, in which the panting breast vainly and
convulsively gasps for breath."

Trenton, N. J. Oct. 29,1841. >
Council Chamber, P. M. J
Gentlemen:—I hasten to give you a shortiketch
ofthe proceeding of Council this afternoon, which
will doubtless bo of interest to your readers.
It may he known to you, Uiat in consequence of
the tie of parties in our Legislative Council, Gov.
Pennington, contrary to the constitution of our
state, and unprecedented in the history of our state ^
government, has token a seat in Uie President’s
chair in order to give a casting vote in favor of
federal measures, nnd in favor of going into joint
meeting for tho purpose of electing nimself the
Governor ofthe State.
Front a manifest conviction of the illegality of
this course, Uie democratic members huve oppos
ed it, nnd with a view of defeating tho Governor
nnd his party in their high handed usurpations, have
from time to time offered a resolution to adjourn
immediately upon Uie meeting of Council. This
resolution has been supported with powerful elo
quence by Col. Warren Scott, of Somerset, a whig
—high minded and conscientious. - He says, as a
conscientious man, he cannot vole fornnymeasare
which would be carried hy the casting vote of Uie
Governor. He contends that the Governor of last
year is not the Governor now—that his Ume expir
ed on thp 4th Tuesday of October.
The federalists have besieged Mr. Scott, but to
no effect. He hns clung to Uie constitution, and
to his own conscientious views.
The die was cast this afternoon. After a warm
debate, contrary to the expcctoUons of Uie federal
ists, the resolution to adjourn on Monday at Uiree
o'clock, prevailed, Mr. Scott voting forit.
The effect of Uiis is, Uiat the state is now without
u Governor, and doubtless will he until a compro
mise is made. The whole matter is now in the
hands of the democrats.
So much for defeating the will of the people in
1838, by the prostitution of the Broad Seal to Uie
base purposes of fraud.
Yours, respectfully.
The Prince de Joinville- —The New-York Ameri
can says: The Prince is likely to receive his share
of attentions in Uiis country. Tho Eastern cities
have already made a considerable to-do oyer him,
but on his return from his Western tour, it seems
tho past is to be wholly eclipsed. Vide the follow-
“The Bostonians are making great preparations
for a brilliant reception to Uie Prince Joinville on
his return from Uie tour he is making iu Uie West,
and a meeting ofgenUemen nas already been held
for the purpose of making appropriate arrange
ments for Uie fete. Of one thing we feel quite cer
tain: if the Bostonians set themselves seriously
about it and succeed iu enlisting Uie interest of
the proper classes, it will be a tiandsomo affair, for
there is no part of Uie countty in which there is
better taste in^euch matters—no where else that a
pageant is made more imposing, or conducted with
a stricter attention to Uie laws of propriety and
decorum. We trust, however, Uiat, Uie Bosto
nians may be beaten this time by onr city; for it is
here, after all,that the material lor the gala exists in
the greatest measure—where the gallant Belle
Poule herself lies and where the largest body ofthe
Prince's countrymen isto he found.and where too,
we venture to say. as much good feeling exists for
