to receive and receipt for monies due this
office.
Hon. E. W. Chastain. —This able rep
resentative passed through our city, en
route for Washington, last evening.
DALTON INSURANCE BANK* AND PLANTERS BANK
Both the above Banks arc promptly re

sent up a few hundred yesterday, to the
former, which was paid.
IMPORTANT REMOVAL—COBB DEMOCRACY.
We learn since the Democracy of Cobb
have succeeded so admirably, that “ Martin”
has concluded to emigrate hither. We
would advise him to remain where he is.
The climate of Fulton is not more genial to
him, than Cobb, and then his bnsiness
here is so picayunish, that contempt it
self would scorn to be caught in company
with it.
THE REPUBLICAN.
We beg pardon for mistaking our neigh
bor's Phoenix, for a Goose. Wo must
confess that we have paid but little atten
tion to Mythology for many, many years,
and that almost any school boy in the land,
particularly with a dictionary of science,
literature, and art, before him, could have
enlightened ua upon the subject. We
should have known better, had we thought,
for a moment of the Senior Editor's ac
knowledged literary taste, but we were
thinking of the Junior when we wrote;
his disposition for a joke at any body’s ex
pense ; and on “ Buster’s account, we arc
convicted of a literary blunder For the
future, lead us not into temptation, dear
“ Buster,” lest we mistake another Phoe
nix for a Goose,
THE DECLARATION OF INoYpENDENCE-WHERE IT
WAS WRITTEN.
We find the following in the Philadel
phia Ledger of the 28th:
It has been stated that the Declaration
of Independence was written by Thomas
Jefferson, in the old building corner of
Fifth and Minor streets, known as Jeffer
son Wigwam, recently destroyed by fire.
Other places have also been named, but
the following letter from Mr. Jefferson to
Dr. Mease, of this city, would indicate that
that instrument was written in the build
ing, still standing, at the south-west cor
ner of Seventh and Market streets:
Mowthello, Sept. 16, 1825.
Dear Sir: It if not for me to estimate
the importance of the circumstances con
cerning which your letter of the Sth makes
inquiry. They prove, even in their min
uteness, the sacred attachment of our fel
low citizens to the event of which the pa
per of July 4, 1776, was but the declara
tion, the genuine effusion of the soul of
our country at that time. Small things
may, perhaps, like the relics of Saints,
help to nourish our devotion to this holy
bond of our Union, and keep it longer
alive and warm in our affections. This
effect may give importance to the circurn
stanooa, however small. At the time of
writing that instrument, I lodged in the
bouseufa Mr Graff, anew brick bouse,
three stories high, of which I rented the
second floor, consisting of a parlor and
bed-ioom, ready furnished. In that par
lor I wrote habitually; and in it wrote
this paper in particularly. So far, I state
from written proofs in my possession.—
The proprietor, Graff, wan a young man.
son of a German, and then newly married.
I think he was a brick-layer, and that hie
house wm on the south side of Market
street, probably between Seventh and
•ighih sUects, and iinit the only horse on
that part of the street, I am sure there
wen 1 few others near it. I have some
i ien that it was a corner house, but no
other recolli ctiona throwing any light on
the question or worth communication. I
will, therefore, only add assurance of my
«»■' raapect and esteem.

THE 010 ISSUES COMING ON.
The Philadelphia North Lmoricau is
very earnest in advocating the restoration
of the United State* Bank. The Buffalo
Ki prana and other papers signify a willing,
neas to accept such an institution, as a
measure of relief.
A number of whig papers intimate a
willingnoHM to support the passage of a
ceueral bankrupt law, as a measure of re
lief.
The protectionist papers revive then old
theories, and would organize anew their
larcenous schemes, for the relief of the
country •
The side organisation of the whigs in
the lodges propose to revive the alien and
sedition laws, to limit religious liberty, and
proscribe alien-born American*.
There will bo something for democrats
to do for the next half dozen years, for
those schemes of paper money, repudia
tion, extortion and prescription, are lev
elled at the aim, to promote the inter
rats and feed the prejudices of an exclu
sive els*e.— ‘Day Book,
•• THE BANK WAR."
We copy the following article from the
Macon Journal & Messenger, and com
mend its perusal to • our readers. In the
main, it is what we have been stating, and
urging upon the people, for weeks past
That by any system of banking, or bank
wars, the interests of agriculture and com
merce in our State, should be so prostrated,
is outrageous, and should be made the
subjeet of special legislation in the future
Here we are in the early part of January,
the business season, emphatically, in the
State, and what do we witness? We an
swer, this: The produce of the country
pouring, as it were, into market, and in
stead of the banks affording business, if
not generous, facilities for its purchase*
we see them like dog and cat worrying
each other—in fact, waging a deadly war—
in the pursuit of which the greatest suf
ferer is the producer. The people must
, take some course to remedy this crying
evil. If they do not, they will be the
victims of their bantlings brought into be
ing by their own representatives. But
> there is a consolation left them, and that
' is this one reflection, the creator can de
i stray !
“ Last Fall, at the commencement of the
i business season, as every one of our read
j ers, who have any interests in such mat
ters, are aware, the Banks of Savannah,
formally declared war against the Country
’ Banks, and attempted to discredit their
bills, by refusing to receive them at the
mother Bank, and at many of the Agen
cies with which they have covered the in
terior of the State. This war we regret to
know, still continues, adding very seriously
’ to the financial embarrassments of the
country, and it seems to us, that it is time
the Press should notice it, should bring
its causes and its merits before the people,
and direct public opinion against the par
ties, who have caused this additional trouble.
The Interior Banks have not of course,
submitted quietly to this policy of the
Banks of Savannah. To refer only to one
incident of thia War of the Banks, which
particularly interests us, and the people of
Savannah, —the Merchants Bank of Ma
con, one of the discredited, under a very
proper sense of injury, and in order to re
taliate, commenced a heavy run upon the
Bank of Savannah, and has continued it
for several weeks, drawing within that
time, a large amount of specie from its
vaults, sending its circulation back upon it
in a flood, and seeming determined by the
tenacity with which it holds on, and by
the vigor with which it prosecutes the war
fare to make that institution, at least, pay
for its temerity in tampering with a wild
cat The consequence of all this is almost
a total suspension of all Bank accommoda
tions, greatly embarrassing the commercial
community of Macon and Savannah ; and
a general want of confidence, and co-op
eration among our Banking institutions,
which in times like these, is a misfortune
to the publie generally.
Now, we would take occasion simply to
say, that all such Bank quarrels, are im
proper and reprehensible; that extraordi
nary franchises are granted them, for the
public convenience, and to aid the com
tnercial communities in which they are lo
cated, instead of adding to their embar
rassments ; and that as to the issue which
the Bank of Savannah has made with the
Merchants' Bank of Macon, it is ill-timed 1
and unadvised.
As to the merits of this controversy we i
only know, as we have stated, that it orig •
inated in an attempt on the part of the
Bank of Savannah co discredit the bills of
the Interior Banks, which we repeat was
ill-timed, and so far as the Banks of Macon
(The Merchants and the Manufacturers,)
are concerned, entirely unnecessary as;
they have small circulation within the.
State, are easy of access to all who want |
specie for their issues and are as safe and
sound, we honestly believe, as any other
banking institution in the State. The '
Merchants Bank of Macon, has its princi- 1
pal circulation out of the State, and is.
known as a “ Wild Cat.” Os the system
of Wild Cat Banking, all we can fay, is
that we disapprove of it. But we disap
prove quite as much of the policy which '
our city Banks in Savannah and Augusta ,
have adopted, toward the Wild Cats, —in
• putting them all iu the same category with
out reference to the character or responsi
bility of the parties contr.iling them.—in
assuming as a fixed fact, that all of them
are organized with malice aforethought to I
defraud the public, in refusing their bills,
and treating them so that they are obliged
necessarily to retaliate. The question we i
would present, M whether as a matter ol
policy it is wise at thia particular juncture,
when that ugly customer “Hard Times,” '
is omnipresent, to make an issue with the!
Wild Cats, when the Wild Cats have the
game in their own hands. This is the
i question which Savannah Banks and Sa-
I vannuh stock holders should consider.—
Public opinion in this community, will'
sustain the Merchant* Bank of Macon as t
long as it continues its run up on the Bank !
■ of Savannah. The discounts of 1} per
1 cent upon 60 day bills predicated < n pro
duce forwaided to Savannah and Charles
lon and New York, which are exacted bx
I Agencies in this ( icy of the Domesticated
’ Cats of Savannah, and the policy of these
1 Agencies generally. incline our biuinofe*
men to sympathise with the Interior Banks
1 Still they desire that “ the War of the
Banks” may stop where it is, so do the
I people of Savunnnh, so do at least thrt
portion of its people who view with intel
ligent concern, the gradually diminishing
circulation ot ita Banks.”

THE OLD COLONY SWEET CORN-
The editor of the Granite Farmer, who
has given this superior corn a fair trial,
pronounces in its favor as follows:
“We have cultivated the present season
three varieties, Stowell’s Evergreen, Dar
ling’s Extra Early, and Old Colony. Os
Darling’s Extra Early, we would say that
it is a good variety, but not extra early at
all, at least with us. Planted at the same
time with the others, it is in eating at the
same time. To be sure, wc have this va
riety on the table first, because we planted
it in our garden, two weeks, perhaps, be
fore the other kind. With us, it is simp
ly a good corn. We planted Stowell’s
Evergreen Sweet as much for curiosity as
anything We wished to see if it would
keep green for ever. We had formed the
opinion that it was not a first rate table
corn, that it was large and coarse, with
not a delicate flavor. But in this we have
been happily disappointed. It is a prime
table corn; with full, deep grains. We
tried it after having eaten several meals of
Darling’s extra early. It was unanimous
ly pronounced the best corn; it was furth
er said, by several who tried it. to be the
best sweet corn they had ever eaten. We
congratulated ourselves upon the acquisi
tion and vowed a spot in our garden to it
ever after.
But we had not then tried the Old
Colony Sweet. This we tried upon the
strength of its being the ‘sweetest and best
table corn ever cultivated,’ and it has ful
ly borne out that reputation. We gave
it a full trial. It was first cooked with
tome of the Evergreen Sweet. This lat
ter was eaten first, and as it had become
to be a favorite corn, it received its due
meed of praise But when the Old Colo
ny came on its turn, there was a unaniro
-1 ous exclamation of its superiority.
The test was a fair one and somewhat
extended. No hasty conclusion was form
ed; ear after ear was tried, until ajl at the
table were impressed that the Old Cono
ny led the list. Still the trial has been
adjourned from day to day, but with no
changes in the result*
As a table corn, we give the palm,
without hesitation, to the Old Colony.—
We shall try to save from the grinders
which are neither few nor small, some
seed with which we can supply our friends
if desired.”
The above corn has been cultivated in
this city for the two past seasons, and we
cheerfully coincide in the opinion of its
superiority expressed by the Editor of the
Granite Farmer. Three plantings-—one
in April, one in May, ami the other the
last of June—will supply the table with
the most luscious green corn from July
until November. A few packages con
taining 4CO kernels, warranted true, can
be had at Rose Cottage Garden, in this
city, at 20 cents a package. [ —Milledge-
ville Southern Recorder.
THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.
Under the above head, we find the fol
lowing article in the Coos (New Hamp
shire) Democrat:
“The noble democracy of Virginia, by
the nomination of Henry A. Wise, has
done one good thing at least. It has
taken with its candidate a bold, honest,
and unwavering stand against know-noth
ingism. It has firmly and unitedly gone
forth to meet and resist its advancing tide
and set it, vaunting and audacious ns it is
utterly at defiance.
“In doing this, as on several former
occassions, the democracy of Virginia has
set a noble example, which the democracy
of the whole Union ought to be proud to
follow; which they must follow unless
they are prepared to desert their own ■
platform, make war on their own usages
and annihilate their own strength
“What has democracy anywhere right
ly to do with religious proscription and
sectional intolerance other than to resist
them? What has democracy to do in
midnight consultation with whigs and free-j
soilers’ Democrats who are insane e
nough, still remaining democrats to enter,
these underground conclaves arc received 1
there with hostile purposes to themselves
and their principles.
“Will you walk into my parlor,
Said the spider to the fly.’’
The spider vas a know-nothiig swol
len with venom against democracy, and
the fly some wavering democrat, likely to
ba ensnared. True democrat* are of lar
ger growth and strong enough to sweep
through all the snares the enemy may
spread for them
“We hope that here and everywhere
democratic candidates may be found will
ing and ready to meet and resist, this new
faction. Wo second in that matter the
derira of the Union Democrat to see it
met with defiance. We hope to see
upon this question, as upon many others
the Granite State and the Old Dominion
upon the same broad and liberal platform
contending iu the same bold* =uid honest
spirit ”
Mr. Win. Dillehunt, a practical
mechanic of Baltimore, has invented ami'
chine to feed printing presses, which the
editor of the Baltimore Sun saw do the
work, and could not detect a point where
it could tail. This is a great desideratum
to all connected with the press, and we
trust it wil soon be brought into general
use.
53?" A good anecdote is told of an old
Methodist Preacher, who rode a eircui ta
e v years ago. While going to cue of hit
appointment*, he met an old acquaintance
who was one of the magistrates of tb<
county. He asked the minister why he
didn’t do as the Savior did—ride an ass
“Because,” aaid tho divine, “the people
have taken them all to make magistrate'
of.”

foreign relations of Congress will report
in favor of making the Government of tin
Hague reconsider and modify their action
in the Gibson case, even if coercive meas
ures become necessary for that purpose. ,
THE MORMON DIFFICULTY. ! *
A writer in the Washington Star, after'
expressing the opinion that the rebent ap
pointment of a military Governor fer Utah
may do good, but cannot overcome the
difficulties of the case, proceeds thus to
illustrate those difficulties and to propose
a remedy, a simple easy and, he thinks, ef
fectual one:
“So long as the legislature and jurors of
the territory, the main elements in all gov
ernments, consist of Mormons, as they
must, Brigham Young will control them
as he pleases, and will be really, to all in
tents and purposes, Governor of tjie ,Ter
, ritory. A unanimous Mormon Legisla»
ture can pass any law they please;
the vote of the legitimate Governori' A
unanimous Mormon jury can find any rer-1
diet they please, in violation of the.Uwas
given to them by the court, and thTflsame
influence which controls the finding, will
, control the public opinion there in sup
porting the same. The military, of course, 1
could neither control the enactments of
the one nor the verdicts of the other.—
To illustrate this: Suppose the Govern
ment should erder the arrest and trial of
Brigham Young, for embezzling the $20,-
000 sent out to the Territory for the erec
tion of public buildings. Os what avfiil
wou’d it be? Would a Mormon grand
jury find a bill against him? Or,if found,
would a Mormon traverse jury convict the
head of their church? Suppose a judg
ment in a civil suit was obtained against
him, how could the Government reap its
fruits ? An execution and levy on his,
property would amount to nothing as none |
of the faithful would dare to bid against !
his orders. In the hands of the Govern- 1
ment or a gentile purchaser, the property i
would be valueless. It is the knowledge ■
of this absolute immunity from responsi
bility and punishment that encourages
them in their defiance of the Government.” ,
Now for the Remedy.
“ Let the Territorial organization be |
abolished or repealed. Divide the Terri
tory geographically, and assign each di
vision, respectfully, to the jurisdiction of
New Mexico, California, Oregon, Nebras
ka, and Kansas. While this plan will
completely strip the Mormon Chui ch of
, civil authority, and destroy her power to
harm, every citizen and inhabitant will
I be secured in every right and privilege 1
conferred by the Constitution. They will
have the benefit of a representation in the ’
Territories to which they belong, and j
through them, in Gongress.”
[From the Southern Recorder,]
HIRING SLAVES.
Messrs. Editors Nothing could il- ’
lustrate more strongly the propriety of the
Supreme Ccurt decision, upon this sub
ject, than the case which gave rise to it-
I'octor Thompson, of Atlanta, hired a
negro man belonging to the estate of some ,
orphan, for? 90. A case of small pox oc
curred iu the Hotel during the year, and
this boy contracted the disease. Without
notifying Wm. Latimer, the Guardian, who
lived some 6 or 8 miles from town, of his |
sickness, Doctor Alexander was called in. I
who treated the case successfully, and
charged 8100 for his services.
And fault is found with the Court for
holding Doctor Thompson, and not the es
tate, should pay the physicians bill 1 Com
ment is unnecessary. Th' facts speak for
themselves.
The law as laid down by the Court in
this case obtains in North Carolina, South
Carolina and Alabama. And when it is J
I recollected what a large portion of the
' slaves hired out yearly belong to widows
and orphans, it is only a matter of surprise
that a different custom should so long have!
obtained in some portions of this State. It,
originated in a mistaken view of policy in j
relation to the matter.
I This and the kindred decision, by the
same tribunal, to the effect, that one to i
whom a slave is hired for a year is entitled !
to no abatement of the price because ot!
the death of the slave, after the commence-1
ment of tho term, will, if let alone do
much to protect this species of property.
