The City Bank.
My attention has been attracted by the foi
lowing extraordinary paragraph, which appear
ed in an article in the Atlanta Examiner ot the
“ But it is gravely alledged as an objection to
the Atlanta i @fierchauts , Bank ot Macon, and
other banks, that the stockholders are tew in
number, therefore, not sufficient in responsibili
ty. The term of ‘ Wild Cat’ is used to desig
nate such—a term odious, and therefore selected
S tor the occasion. Now, it we are correctly ad
vise^the‘City Bank of Augusta 1 most be class
ed as a * Wild Cat’ concern, for we are told that
the whole stock it owned by fWe individuals. It the
number of stockholders add to the responsibility
or ability of a bank, which is the preferable one,
the Atlanta Bank with its eight stockholders,
ft or the City Bank with its five. Or the Mer
chants’ Bank of Macon with a long list of the
most influential and lesponsible citizens of that
k- place.”
This is certain y a very extraordinary para-
j not less lor the amount of enor and mis
ref resentation it contains in relatio; to the City
Bank, of Augusta, than for the effort to deceive
the unsophisticated by the allusion to the stock
holders of those Wild Cat concerns, the Bank of
Atlanta and the Merchants’ Bank ot Macon.—
Let us test it by the standard of truth, and see
bow much reliance is to be placed in the state
ment. To enable me to do this, my information
has been obtained from the highest sources, and
may therefore be implicitly relied f^i.
Books of the City Bank ot Augusta, show
that there are eighty three stockholders in that
institution. Os these, seventy-nine reside in
Georgia, (seventy-two in Augusta) three in South
Carolina, and one in the city of New York. The
capital ot the Bank is $200,000, ot wnich $175,-
000 has already been paid in. The three stock
—■ holders in South Carolina own twenty shares, and
the one in New York owns one hundred and fif
ty shares. So that there are only $17,000 dol
lars, about one twelfth of the stock, owned out of
the SMte ot Georgia. The stockholders are esti
mated, by those who are very well acquainted
with their situation, to be worth not less than
tun million dollars, in visible, tangible property
What a commentary upon the statement of the
Examiner, “ that the whole stock is owned by only
fivi mmdividiutlsV If that journal’s views and
information in relation to oanks and banking
are pfenerally as reliable, they are certainly enti
tted to great deference and respect.
The Examiner institutes a comparison be- |
tween the responsibility of the stockholders of
the City Bank, and '“the eight ” stockholders in
the Atlanta Bauk, and the “long list of the most
influential and responsible citizens of Macon,”
4vho own stock in the Merchants’ Bank of Ma
son. I have already shown who the stockhold
'”lers in the City Bank of Augusta are, and where
they reside; let us see who the stockholders in
the Wild Cat concerns in Atlanta and Macon
|P%re, where they reside, and what responsibility
I they offer to bill-holders as security tor the re-
M demption of their bills.
I nave not a report of the Bank of Atlanta
P before me, and cannot state positively the exact
amount of stock owned by each of the renowned
eight. My recollection ot the last report I read
is, that the Directors and the President owned
one share each, and that the balance of the stock
was owned by Wild Cat financiers in Chicago,'
Illinois, and the city oi New York. That there
was not then exceeding one thousand dollars
owned by persons residing in Georgia. If 1 am
in error, the Examiner will please correct, and
state how much each o.vns.
In reference to the Merchants’ Bank of Ma
con, I 6ball speak positively, and by the card, for
I have belore me the official report made on the
31st July, 1854. Let us ,see_K&» fckfimffefcf <
,Tort 7wflg~TTSt surely ;) of these, seven,
who constitute the Board of Directors, live in
Macon,and own eleven thousand dollars worth
ol Stock! The other $159,000 of the Stock of
the Bank are owned by Wild Cat financiers in
the North and Northwest. What these Wild
Cat financiers, who own and control these two
Banks, are worth, the people of Georgia kno w
as well as I do. If they are worth a dollar I do
not know it. Certain it i 3, they are perpetra
ting a fraud upon the people of Georgia by ap
propriating Bank Charters to purposes never
contemplated by the Legislature; and they have
found persons in Macon and Atlanta, to assist
them in the perpet*ation, by consenting to be
come their tools and act as directors.
My observation in life is, and I have some
experience, that whenever a man seeks to evade
the law by intrigue, trick, or any perversion, he
- vrc£-flot do to reiy upon in any matter whatev
er, and least ot ail money matters. Hence, I
ttiink the Wild Cat financiers are not to be
trusted, and so I think the people of Georgia
who know their own interest, will determine.

Pacific Road ia Texas.
The Grand Pacific Railroad scheme of Robert
J. Walker and their associate millionaires—for
only millionaires could be supposed able to make
such enormous subscription to the stock of the
company as each ot them have set against their
names—is in imminent peril. They are in danger
of losing the whole benefit of the Texas la”nd
subscription, which has been the principal fund
relied upon, to help make the road and their for
tunes together, th<? very treasury from which
they were to draw the means to fill up their
stock. There is evidently some powerful in
terest at work in Texas t» invalidate the con
tract, and the Governor appears to be not unwil
ling to assist in the work. The motive, of course,
is unavowed, and we are left to conjecture to
form any idea of what it may be. It may be
because the contract is considered an improvi
dent one on the part of the State, ceding awav
a vast and fertile territory, for ~Very inadequate
considerations: or there may be other parties who
are anxious to share in the prospective gains,
and to get some of the pickings of a fat contract
_ themselves, and are intriguing to set aside the
old one, that they may be competitors in a new
offer. Whatever may be the motive, the design
is evident to annul the contract if it can be done,
and the means fordoing it savor, it seems to us'
of rather sharp practice. The c mpany may be.’
as it has been called, a “moon shine’ 3
not really intending to make the road, in good
faith, and only aiming to get pos ession of the
lands, in order to make a good thing out of the
sale of the stock. But there is nothing in t’ e
matter of this deposit, making the alleged failing
in the contract, which shows any unfair inten
tion, or any real neglect of the substantial terms
of the contract. It they lose it on these grounds,
it will be by a surprise, in the nature ot a snap
judgment, taken up for the purpose of get'ing
rid ot the contract and not of enforcing the per
formance in any part.
iu muj paiv*
By the terms of the law they were required,
within sixty days after entering into the con
tract with the Governor, as theTein pre-cribed
H “to deposit with the Treasurer of the State at
least $300,000 in gold or silver, or evidences of
debt of the State ofTexas, or other good par
stock.” This was to*be a guarantee that at least
fifty miles of the road should be completed within
a given time—eighteen months, we believe—
otherwise the deposit was to be forfeited. In
case of failure to make the doposit, the contract
is to be null and void, and tne Governor is au
thorized to contract on the same terms with other
* parties.
Now, the company has procured and deposited
with the Treasure! $300,000 in securities, which
are certified to be par stocks,” and the Trea
surer of Texas has receiver! them as par stocks;
but Gov. Pease thinks them insufficient in value,
and the opinion prevails in Texas that he will
proceed to reletthe contract, on the ground that
this has been forfeited.
# The company will certainly be taken by sur
prise, for evidently they meant to lulfill the terms
of the law. The fault that is alleged against
them is an overvaluation of securities amounting
to a per centage which cannot exceed a few
§J thousands, actually an insignificant sum in com
t parison with the magnitude of the stake. They
H could not have meant to risk their contract on
' jpall a difference, and it would be absurd to
| charge against them any intentional .lapse or la- J
tent lraud which would vitiate their bargain.
The suddenness with which they are brought j
up will be a shock to them, and will show them
that they have very hostile influences to con. j
fend with, and that they must, it they escape ;
this strait, keep.themselves actively and strictly
within the line ot their positive engagements, or
watched by jealous rivals, they will be uncere
moniously ousted on the slightest chance. We
are no very sanguine admirers of the managers
of this stupendous scheme, but we hope they
will have lair play,and that the State will not !
break its contracts, deliberately made, upon a J
petty dispute about the valuation of stocks, j
without permitting the company to rectify the j
error which, if there be one at all, was evidently |
unintentional.
There is a question raised in Texas whether j
the receipt of the stocks as satisfactory by the |
Treasurer, the depository named in the law, is i
not final, and beyond the turtber control of the j
Executive; but the sounder opinion appears to j
be the Governor is the responsible party, and
that his decisions will annul that of the Trea
surer. The difference between these two func
tionaries as to the correct valuation of the prof
fered stocks, shows that the amount of supposed
deficiency must b* small and doubtful, and helps
to rebut the presumption of any intent to vary
from-the law. It shows, too, that the company
has keen and subtle foe 3 to contend with.

Democratic Meeting—The True Position.
Appended to the call for a Democratic meet
ing, which heads our columns, was a postscript
in the following words. “If any charge, render
in the bill therefor to me,” signed “ E. G. W.”—
This, we think, shows that the ** Secretary,”
who is none other than the City Council’s excel
lent Clerk, appreciates the force of our remarks
in last Sunday’s Georgian. We shall of course
act accordingly, and have a bill for one dollar and
twenty-five cents, the price of three insertions of
one square, duly made out and presented. And
if any ether “ Secretary” of any other Executive
Committee, has a call for any other meeting,
Democratic, Whig or whatnot, we will accom
modate him on precisely the same terms. Come,
gentlemen, bring on your advertisements.
By the way, we observe with satisfaction that
the article-alluded to above, in which the Geor
gian, declared its independence, has awakened
the attention of several of our cotemporaries. It
has been re-published by the Augusta Constitu
tionalist, and the Griffin Jeffersonian, two of the
most thoroughly Democratic papers of the State.
The cool and judicious editor of the Jeffersonian,
(Maj. Cline) introduces it with the following re
marks :
We extract the following remarks liom the
Savannah Georgian, and consider them worthy
the attention ot the editorial corps: There is en
tirely too much exacted from a party editor by
many individuals belonging to the party, differ
ing themselves mostly with the majority. In
our career as a Democratic editor, we have had
the misiortune, more than once, to differ with
perhaps an esteemed and valued friend, and that
difference has afterwards been evinced in per
sonal resentment. We could point tothose who
pass for exemplary Christians, and high toned
gentlemen, who have sprung personal quarrels
upon us, ter no reason under heaven than be
cause we would not dropowr friend and take up
theirs , or because we would not oppose the wishes
of the people , and thrust them forward inopposition
to such wishes.
We can hardly revert to a case in which the
result has not shown that we were on the side
of our party, while our antagonist was wishing
us to pull himself, his favorite, his relative, or
his friend into notoriety, regardless of the voice
of the people and in opposition to the wishes of
the party. We have gotten into more personal
squabbles from just such causes, than from any
other. Now we think an editor is charitable
enough when be says Gentlemen, you have
full liberty to use the columns ol my paper for
yourselves or your friends, provided you do it at
your own expense, and not tax me with it.” The
editor should be left at liberty to act for his par
ty according to his own discretion, and if others
want themselves or their friends brought for
ward, let them do it in the way that other adver
tising is done. The editor is not bound to puff
every one who may claim to belong to the par
ty, either by writing himself or through his con
tributors, at his own expense. If offered as an

Yhe Death of Randolph.— Randolph, in
fast declining heateh.reached Philadeiphie,whith
er he went to take passage from that poit. He
was too late tor the Liverpool packet. He ex
posed himself to the inclemency ot the weather,
took cold, which aggrevated his disease, anil
hastened its fatal termination. He was put to
b«d—his deathbed—in his lodgings at the City
Hotel. The idiosyncracies which had, of late
years especially, marked his demeanor, distin
guished the last hours of his life. The sudden
bursts ol petulence which disease wrung from
him ; the affecting kindness and tenderness
which disease could not wholly take from him ;
the rambling Jconversation in the intervals of
acute suffering, in some passages, as brilliant as
ever—the last gleams of the sinking lamp ; the
groanings of remorse, which a review of his
past life, at the bar of astern self-judgment, drew
from his contrite heart; the fervid prayer : the
hesitating hope ; the trust qualified by self-con
demnation, in the Saviour whose name he pro- :
fessed ; the concluding act ere the curtain fell j
upon the last scene of earth, propped up by pil- ,
lows, he called witnesses to his confirmation of
his will, providing for the freedom and support of j
his staves, and the last conscious words, which
fired his eye and braced his sinking frame, as,
speaking in this connection, he laid his skeleton
hand strongly upon the shoulder of his faithful
servant, John, and said with emphasis——“espe
cially for this man.” And then—this last charge
upon his conscience off—his mind wandered
away to the light, and the scenes, awd the friends
of the early days; and, the mutterings of the
voicejgrowing gradually fainter, as he passed on j
into the thicker shadows of the Dark Valley,
the fluttering pulse stood still, and John Rani
dolph, of Roanoke, was numbered with the dead! !
(May 24th, 1833, aged 60.)
They carried him back 4o his solitary home, I
and buried him—in death as in life, unsocial and ;
isolated—in the forest of Roanoke. In the soil !
ot the Virginia he loved so well, they laid the
corpse of her faithful and devoted son. They
left him to rest, after the long fever of his trou
bled dreahn of life was over, in an humble and !
sequestered grave, beneath two stately pines.
There let him sleep on! The gloom ot their
shade, and the melancholy sighing of the wind
through their boughs, are fit emblems of |the li!e
which was breathed out in sadness and in sor- 1
row.— Baldwin’s Party Leaders.
War Upon the Cats.
Whilst the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel is
making furious battle upon the wild cats, the
Constitutionalist & Republic is pitching into the
■eiine tribe at home, which it appears, will not
come up to the scraUh and furnish the necessary
facilities for carrying on the fall business A
writer in the Constitutionalist, of the 16th inst.
gives the following illustration of legitimate bank
ing as piacticed by tbe Augusta institutions.
A merchant ot this city, in the course of his
business, gives his note in N. Y., payable tt.ere
or here, and it here, with the cuirent rate of
Exchange. Ihe agent of a Hank in this city,
residing in New York, supplied with funds, goes
into the market, and in time ot pressure, buys
up the paper at 1, 1* a 2 per cent, a month, and
sends it home for collection, and the maker here
pays it at the counter of the Bank with * per
cent, exchange and the money goes back a°ainto
buy more of other paper, is this Bankuig or
shaving ? They can take but one step more de
grading, and then three balls, oi a Barber’s pole
as a sign, would more fairly designate the char
acter of the institution, than the four letters usu
ally stuck over the entrance represents.”
Now we would ask, who is responsible, for
the evils complained of? Tbe Cats? By no
means. The people have, thiough their agents,
granted bank charters too carelessly and liberal-
\ y- Tbe remedy is with them, and them alone.
Let ihem scrutinize more careiuily the character
and qualifications of those they select as legis
lators and they may hope for a mitigation of
the evils of which they now rightly complain.

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 23.
[£?“ Contract Advertisers will bear in
mind that when they exceed the space specified
in their contracts, they will be charged extra.
The pressure of advertisements upon us forces
us to this notice.
See first page Daily, this morning.
This day having been sent apart by his
Excellency the Governor, as a day of Thanks

Weekly subscribers will be furnished with this
day’s daily.
The City Bank.
We publish this morning, a vindication of the"
City Bank from the aspersions thrown upon it
by an Atlanta paper. As it is a new institution,
now upon its first legs, we hope it will be al
lowed a fair field for its operations. Its stock
holders are among our most substantial citizens
and it is a gross injustice to it to place it in the
same catagory with the Wild Cat Banks.
The Waynesboro Railroad.
In yesterday’s paper we mentioned that there
were a large number of cars at Millen loading
with cotton awaiting transportation to Augusta.
We should have said loaded with goods , and
awaiting transportation to Augusta. The engines
for the passenger trains have been relied on
hitherto lor conveying these cars to Augusta.
But recent delays prove that this resource is in
adequate to the business. We hope soon to hear
of an extra force being applied for that purpose.
Mr. Robert Gray, the Agent at Millen, has
pointed out to us, the mistake into which we
were led as to the kind ot freight lying over at
Millen. As there is certainly no motive for the
delay of up freight, we cannot tut persume that
the accumulation at that point will soon cease to
be a subject of complaint.
Manufacturing Cabinets.
We perceive that new arrangements of the
President’s Cabinet are flying on the wings of
the telegraph all over the country.
All who recollect that ftr weeks before the
inauguration of Gen. Pierce, the wires were
busy in constructing a cabinet for him, will be
cautious of paying undue deference to those new
telegraphic arrangements. Every day a new
programme was issued, and each succeeding day
witnessed its contradiction. We shall patiently
await more authentic intelligence than telegra
phic despatches, which are the mere rehash of
street gossip. For the present we are content
with the Cabinet as it is.
What the Abolitionists say of the late
Elections.
The National Era , published at Washington
! City, is a leading organ of the Abolitionists. No
paper ha 9 been more inveterate in its hostility to
the President. In this respect, the most rabid
Whig presses, North or South, can claim over it
no superior in power. We refer, in this connec
tion, to Whig papers South, because they have
so industriously harped upon that single string,
“the Free Soil appointments and tendencies of
the Administration.”
Here is what the National Era says of the
late elections:
“Putting aside the influence of Know-Nothing
ism, the political revolution which has been ac
| complished in the free States is the work of a
| combination ot Whigs, Free Democrats, and
: members of the Democratic party disgusted by
the pro-sla"ery policy of the Administration.”
Honestv of the Postmasters.
Baltimore Sun gives some details of the immense
work done by some of the government depart
ments, illustrating the great industry and ef
ficiency displayed by our officials. Among other
interesting details he furnishes the following fact
in reference to Postmasters :
“ I have already stated that in spite of the in
creased expenses of the increased usefulness of
the Post Office department, such is the rigid
economy with wbicn it is being managed, that
with the increased revenue from postage it is ex
pected that in about lour years from now, pio
vided the same economical administration of the
department be continued, the revenue will cover
the expenditure. Since the 4th of March, 1852,
but one single defalcation has occurred, (in the
postmaster at Troy, but the sub-treasury act be
ing promptly applied, the whole amount was re
covered, and no loss therefore was sustained by
the department.) Considering that there are
about 32,000 post-offices in the United States, the
fact is certainly highly creditable, both to the ad
ministration of the Post Office department, and
to the discrimination used in the appointment of
postmasters.”
A Reform Needed. .
The Boston Transcript pourtrays a custom net
peculiar to New England, in the following para
graph. We publish it because the remarks are
j quite as applicable in southern localities, and our
I readers will all agree with the writer that the
custom complained of “is a bad custom worth
j mending. 33
; One of the ugliest peculiarities incident to
! New England society needs a speedy reforma
, tion. We allude to the bad custom of gossoping
! over a harmless and pleasant intercourse between
i young people ol opposi e sexes What we mean
iis this: ll a young man is polite, and renders
I himself agreeable to a young female friend in
i’the beaten way of friendship, 3 (no matter how
; intimate the families of both may be,) straight

What is the consequence of all this foolish- j
ness on the part of lookers on 7 Simply this; a J
quiet, inoffensive young man is deprived of the j
society of a good tempered girl, who would im- .
prove his manners and be of great service to him '
as friend. Very olten, it he be denied social in- 1
terchange of conversation in this way, or a ram- j
ble with a pleasant companion, he will look ;
elsewhere'not unfrequently out of the pale of
respectability, for his associates.- It is a bad
custom worth mending, this constant espionage
thus tyranically held in our day, and we hope
good sense and a better policy will tend to drive
out so foul and wicked a habit. —Boston Trans

The Causes of the Soule Affair.
We yesterday published the statement of the
New York Express, giving the gossip of Pa
risian circles as to the causes of the refusal
of the French Emperor to the admission of
Mr. Soule in his dominions. The following
is the statement therein referred to, of the rea
sons influencing Louis Napoleon to this step.—
Whether either version be the correct one, in
whole or in part, the French Emperor has be
haved in this matter not with his usual discreet
ness. He has been foiled in his revenge, and
given an unpleasant notoriety to incidents which
must be anything but gratifying to his amour
propere , and that of bis consort. How much
more suitable would it have been to have allow
ed Mr. Soule to pass quietly through France in
the first instance. Now, his passage will be a
triumph, and he will be feted by the Americans
in Paris.
The Causes of the Soule Affair.
The Republican correspondent, of the Courier
des Etats Unis details at length the private rea
sons which, as he would have us believe, in
duced Louis Napoleon to deny Mr. Soule the
privilege of entering his empire.
In 1849, Mr. Soule made a voyage to Spain,
where he had been called by important busi
ness intrusted to him as an advocate. Having
finished the business of his client, he began to
think a little of his own, and came to Paris,"
where his high reputation placed him at once in
the best society. He then lrequented the upper
circles, and one fine day his friend, Frederic
Gaillardet, who at the time was very intimate
with the President of .the Republic, produced
him at the Elysee, and presented him to Louis
Napoleon. The Prince, as he had begun to be
called at that time, received Mr. Soule very ci
villy, but exhibited the most complete nullity in
the protracted conversation which he had with
his guests. So much so, that after the
visit ol Mr. Soule said to M. Gaillardet as they
were going away, “My triend, your Prince is a
goose, and 1 greatly regret that Fiance has fal
len into such hands.”
Gaillardet ascribed the stupidity of the prince
to a headache, and asked Soule once more to do
violence to himself and make another visit to
l'Elysee, so that he could talk further with the
President, assuring him that he would foim
quite [a different opinion on a second audience.
But Soule, who had already made a sacrifice, as
he said in rubbing his republican garments on the
upholstery ot the Presidential palace,obstinately
refused to undertake a new conversation with
theheioof Strasburg, and returned to America
without seeing him again.
Louis Napoleon was exceedinly displeased at
the affair. Although on the whole, he is a poor
stick, he has wit enough to detect exactly the
impressiou which he makes on those who ap
proach him, and on this occasion he could not
conceal irom,him c elf that the illustrious advocate
and diplomatist .must have carried away a very
sorry opinion of him. He wished to reinstate
himself, in point of intelligence, with such a
superior person ; and being unable to succeed,
he could not pardon Mr. Soule for it; he was
doubly wounded in his pride and in his self love—
he had been a cypher before a man of talent, and
his advances had been rejected with the most
profound disdain.
These wounds bled for a long time. The Em
peror always remembers those which were re
ceived as President of the Republic and your Am
bassador is honored with the deepest antipathy.
Still, violent as it is, would not have been car
ried so lar as to manifest itself by an act so an
noying as the measure just taken, if it had not
been greatly reinforced by the hatred which
the Empress also bears towards Mr. Soule.
In her character as a daughter of Spain, and
so ever faithful patriotess, the blonde Eugenie
naturally detests Mr. Soule, who openly defend
ed the annexation of Cuba to the United States;
in her character as a woman and an empress,
she detests him still more, because he once per
mitted himself to relate in a circle the victory
which was said to have been won by the hand
some Gol. Gandara over the heart of the Coun
tess of Teba; and alter*-—* 111
the auguust moiety of the very august Napoleon
111.,“ Upon my wo4 Ido know what fchat
little actiess has ag» !,l!s t roe
is now taking it.
What proves, moreover, that the order of-ex
ciudmg Mr, Soule from the French territory
proceeded directly from the Tuileries, is that the
two Ministers and the Prefect who had the right
to issue it, were on excellent terms with ycur
Ambassador, and wouM have guarded against
troubling him. Mr. JDrouyn de l’Huys waited
for him at Paris to ask a service of him, and had
caused Latour-Dumoulin to invite him to
dinner; M. Billault and M.Pietri had to be par
doned for the ridiculous affair of Lyons, and had
already been put in the wrong, in regard to the
Prelect of the Rhone, with Mr. Soule, during his
last residence here. Finally, an intimate friend
of the proscribed having gone to the Minister of
Interior for an the explanation of the unexplaina
ble measure of Government, M. Billault confessed
that he had despatched the order to the Commis
sary of Police at Calais, but that he had done so
by compulsion. He could not accuse the palace
more positively.
The government at Washington and the
American people will certainly not submit to
this affront without a woid, and we must expect
that Mr. Pierce will reply to the gallant pro
ceedings of Louis Napoleon by amenities of a
similar stamp. But we may also hope that the
demociats of the United States will notconfound
the Palace of the Tuileries with France, rior
hold the French responsible for the faults of their
pale Emperor.
Fire.
A fire broke out on Sunday night last, at about
11 o’clock, in the shoe shop of Mr. Ebner- it
communicated thence to the Tailor shop of Mr.
Lisina, thence to the kitchen in the tavern yard
—all the property ot Jeptha Brantley; alt of
which were entirely consumed, without any
farther spread of the fire. The wind was un
usually still, ar.d strange to say, continued so
throughout the entire time the buildings were
burning. Had there been the slightest wind
from any quarter theie must have been great de
struction of property. The tavern, an old and
large building, stood within some forty or fifty
feet of the kitchen that burnt in the yard, and
but little larther from the shop of Mr. Usina.and
was saved unquestionably by the activity’ and
daring of Mr. Meagher, a mechanic of our town,
who got upon the top of the tavern and by throw
ing off the fire coals, and spreading wet blankets, |
saved the building. The Court House, some for- i
ty or fifty feet on the other side of those build- !
Higs caught lire, and was saved by the prompt'
daring of Capt. Lang, also a mechanic, who, by j
means of a ladder, reached the top of the build- I
ing and extinguished the flames which had just s
ignited at the eaves. The whole town and coun- I
ty, as well as the individual property holders of |
that part more immediately in danger, together i
with the Insurance Company are under ooliga- i
tions to those two individuals, for their prompt i
and efficient action. But for which a large part '
ot the village must have been consumed, not
withstanding the very favorable state of the at- j
mosphere. Much is also due to the activity and ■
energy displayed by Gen. Warthen in directing I
and managing the available force so as to check
the progress of the fire. We have never seen a !
more foitunateescape from more iminent danger. I
It is supposed the fire broke out from the stove in
the shoe shop of Mr. Ebner,
Tha whole loss is estimated at only about
] SI,OOO, of which Mr. Jeptha Brantley lost about
S6OO in houses, fencing, &c., with considerable
damage to furniture. Mr. Ebner lost about S4OO
in leather and tools
Every citizen must have felt how impotent we
were to contend with a tire, if the elements were
against us. Can nothing be done to remedy this
condition of affairs ? If we cannot have a fire
engine, can we not have an organized fire com
pany with some one at its head, capable of di
recting in an emergency of this sort. We can at
least have hooks and ladders provided to be used
on such occasions. We suggest a town meeting
to take the matter into consideration.—Sanders
ville Georgian, 21 st inst.
Look Out for the Rogues. —We are inform
ed that quite a number of thefts have been com
mitted in Sparta, and its vicinity within a few
days. On the night of the 11th inst, a thief en
tered the residence of Mr. C. W. Dubose, and
took a gold watch, and fine suit of clothes, with
pocket book containing some valuable papers.
A day or two afterwards, Mr. Charles Gardener
had his watch stolen w hile at dinner, and on
Wednesday evening last, while the family of Mr.
Edward Berry w»i at suppet his house was en
tered, and a very fine gold watch belong to bis
daughter, taken out of her room. A man was
seen by a little girl retiring from the house in the
dark, but too late for detection. Several other
larcenies have been committed in Hancock coun
ty recently, and it is high time that the public
were apprized, that they may be on the look out
for these nightly visitors. They no doubt be
long to an organized band of robbers, who are
spread throughout this and the adjoining States.
We hear similar reports from Washington in
Wilkes county. Let the people in Sandersville
be on the lookout.— l 6.
Darien Bank Commission;
The Commission appointed by the last Legis
lature of Georgia to settle the claims of the Cre
ditors of the Bank of Darien, against the State
of Georgia, met again at the Senate Chamber
in this city, on Wednesday last, to make up
their final judgments in the cases before them.
At the previous session of this body in Octo
ber, the demurer filed by the counsel for the
State to the declarations in the cases of the
Bank of the State of Georgia, and Planters Bank,
was generally overruled and the evidence in the
various cases admitted. So that during last
week the Commission were engaged in investi
gating the liability of the State in ea2h case.
The award gives to each Bill holder the
whole amount of his claim without interest. In
all thejudgment cases, the Commission found
for claimants, principal interests and costs. The
whole liability of the State, amounts to over one
hundred and ninety thousand dollars. It is
likely that an appeal will be entered up to the
Superior Court of Baldwin county at the next
term by the State, in accordance with the re
quirement of the act organizing this Commis
sion, and we presume these cases will not be
finally settled until the judgments be either af
firmed or reversed by the Supreme Court.
The Commission turned over their Docket
and awards to the Executive on Saturday morn
ing, and finally adjourned.— Milledgeville Recor
der, 21 st inst.
Ecuol’s Hydraulic Rock Drilling Ma
chine.— The inventive genius of our townsman,
Mr. Josephus Echols, has been exercised for
some time past upon a machine tor drilling rock
by water power. On the 16th inst., we had
the pleasure of witnessing its performance, and
concur with the opinion expressed by all who
have seen it operate, that for “originality, sim
plicity, perfect and practical action and applica
tion,” it surpasses any {hing designed tor the
same purpose, that has yet been invented. The
machine we saw in operation weighed about 25
pounds, and was supplied by a hose only one
inch and a half in diameter, with a pressure of
water estimated at not more than thirty feet
head. It drove a drill weighing ten pounds at
the rate ol 90 strokes a minute, each stroke
measuring about one foot. One hand can at
tend to half a dozen drills, and each drill will do
the work of half a dozen hands. If the ma
chine is properly brought before the public w T e
confidently anticipate that it will supersede all
others now in use, and become a source of large
pecuniary profit to the inventor.
The loliowing is a description of the machine.
The water is admitted into a cyl.nder with an'
upper and lower valve. The upper valve is
punctured with small holes, through which the
water escapes with great force, when both valves
are closed, into a bell attached to the drill; this
raises the drill, which opens both valves and al
lows the water to waste; the drill then falls,
makes a stroke and closes both valves; the water
then rushes again through the small holes in the
upper valve into the bell; the drill is again rais
ed, and so on continually. A spiral spring in
the bell give a rotary motion to the drill. The
frame work is very light and may be moved at
pleasure.— Columbus Times.
Mossanton.— I his is the name ol the county
site of the new county of Fannin. Mr. Smith,
of the Atlanta Republican, thus describes it:
“Two stores, three dwellings, &c., scattered
along the road, and one shautee, about sixteen by
eighteen feet square, for the Court House, at pre
sent constitutes the town. The Juries retired to
the woods to make up their verdict—Judge Ir-
G^rjrcoi.
Chisolm; an old acquaintance of 1849—C01. Jos.
E. Brown, of Canton, Wm. Martin, Esq., of
Dahlonega, and Col. Lester, of Cumming.
“The site of Morganton, is pretty for”a town,
and in a fa«7 years it will no doubt, be hand
somely improved, a good Court House is already
under contract, and every arrangement will
soon be made for the accommodation of visitors.”
Highly Important from the Sandwich

By a recent private letter from Honolulu we

thav the whole amount to be paid in pensions
will be somewhere from three to four hundred
