Th* Bank oi St. Marya.
As every thing relative to thie institution is
of interest to our readers, we publish the com
munication of Mr. P. A. Clayton in reply to
that of Mr. Winter, already published by us.—
With the personal controversies growing out of
this affair, the outside public car. feel only the
interest of spectators. The personalities indulg
ed in on both sides contribute nothing material to
the truth of history in the matters most impor
tant to be properly understood; but we give
them as we find them. The disputants write
racily, and evidently seem able to take care of
themselves in a war of words “God defend
the right.” and may the “widows and orphans”
in the end suffer no detriments.

Snuwaißsirs.—The Charleston Courier say s
an additional evidence of the extraordinary mild
season which we are now experiencing was pre
aented to us on Saturday, in the shape of a basket
of strwbeiries. full grown, some or them quite
ripe and of a large sire, from the farm of .Mr.
William McLean, opposite the Race Course.—
Thay were of the kind denominated Hovey
seedling. Fears are entertained that their pre
mature growth at this time may prove prejudi
cial, if not ruinous, to the crop in the spring.
Txa Sxa SsnraxT tcrxeb it again.—We ’
learn from Captain Shaw, of the steamer Wil
liam Gaston, which arrived here Saturday morn
from Florida, (says the Savannah Republican.) :
that when be was going in over Bt. John’s Bar
near the outer buoy, on Wednesday afternoon
last, at 1 o'clock, a large sea monster was seen
atreched on the surface of the water—the sea be
ing calm at the time. The monster was appa
rently about <SO leet in length, of a dark color
approaching black. Its head was as large as a
hogshead. and itsjbo.ly, so far as it was visible; ’
in proportion. The boat passed very near it,
but, being on the Bar at the time, it was deem
ed imprudent to stop. The monster appeared to
pay but little attention to it—merely settling
down in the water. All the passengers, about
thirty in number, saw it. It was moving about :
the buoy at the time, and seemed to be lost. •
We understand that a whale was taken in the
St. J ohu's river some two months since, and this
monster is probably its consort.

oder the following
ciKumstances: —“ Dixon had some time since
shot a man, and was under indictment for mur

had baffled all attempts to arrest him, and going
at large in defiance of the civil authorities
Last week, he crossed over to Des Arc. and got
into rows, beating and abusing one or more
persons, and setting the community at defiance.
Dr. A. R. Wilson, a very quiet and exemplary
citizen. made the remark, that such outrag-s
ought not to be tolerated. This coming to the
knowledge of Dixon, he assaulted the Doctor in
the street, knocking him down with a brickbat,
■nd beating him most brutally. The Doctor,
who is a man ot small physical power, procured
a gun, loaded it, and shot Dixon the same day.
killing him almost instantly. Upon an exami
nation before a magistrate, the Doctor was dis
charged—the killing, in view of the desperate
character ot Dixon, being adjudged a justifiable
homicide.” Dr. Wilson emigrated to Arkansas
from Middie Tenuesse, and Dixon from Ala.

Vice President King and tub CLatton and
5 Bulwer Treaty.—Hon. J. Bragg, a member
■ of the House ot Representatives from Alabama,
5 has published a card in the National Intelligen
‘ cer, in explanation of the apparent inconsistency
1 between the statement made to the Senate by
’ Gen. Cass, on the authority of the Hon. Wtn. R.
■ King, and tbe note from the latter to the Hon.
’ John M. Clayton, in relation to the Clayton and
Bulwer treaty, in which he says
“Col. King's language to Mr. Cass was based
1 upon a supposed statement ot facts, very different
f I from the facts as they actually exist. After the
I negotiation and ratification of the treaty by the
j Senate its was sent to England, and returned
with a proposition that it should be considered
as ratified on the part of the British Government,
provided a condition should be annexed to it re
cognising title and jurisdiction in that Govern
ment over a certain portion of Honduras. Col.
King never saw the proposed provision in wri
ting, but understood it was insisted on by Lord
Palmerston. He very promptly told both Mr.
Clayton and Sir Henry Bulwer that with such a
condition the treaty could not get a vote in the
■ Senate. Mr. Clayton afterwards informed him
that the provision h.id been abandoned, and be
considered the treaty ratified by the British Gov
ernment precisely as it had been ratified by the
Senate.
" When Gen. Cass called on Col. King for his
■ recollections upon the subject, the latter aupp.«-
i el that the documents furnished by the State
I Department showed that Lord Palmerston’s de-
I maud had been yielded to in all its extent instead
of abandoned as he had been told by Mr. Clayton.
Upon the supposition he did say what General
Cass represents him to have said in his state
ment.
“ In reference to British Honduras, Col. King
is well aware, as every schoolboy is, that Great
Britain has long had certain privileges there, and
from these he did not snpjtose, nor until very re
cently did he imagine that anybody supposed,
she was to be summarily ousted by tile Clayton
and Bulwer treaty.”
Mr. Bragg has been induced to make this ex
planation on behalf of Col. King, from the fact
that Alabama is at present without a represen
talive in the Senate—Mr. Clemens being detain
ed trom bis seat by indisposition.
Rk-OsGA.MZATION of tus U.S. Navy. —Mr.
■ Stockton made a report to the Senate, on Mon
-1 day. 'accompanied by a bill, proposing a re-or
' ganization of the Navy of the United States. It
recommends a retired list as indispensable
of the efficiency of the service, and depre
cates promotion by seniority of commission
■ without regard to other considerations. It holds
that as officers in’ command are sometimes re-
j quired to compete with the highest professional
talent of Europe, and to exercise great discre
tion in the protection of our commercial marine,
they should be selected with a proper regard for
their suitability to such command. It approves
of the ranks of Commander, Lieutenants Com
manding. and Second Lieutenants, but suggests
tire abolishment of the grade ot Masters and
. Passed Midshipmen. For the seamen it recom
mends such increase of pay as will approximate
the amount paid by the commercial marine, and
proposes rewards of merit, besides opening the
: way to promotion to the sailor boy whose con
; duct is worthy of it.

Great Excitement ar Salem, Ohio.—The I
Treasurer of Columbiana county, Ohio, having
called on the 30th instant, upon the Salem Bank ;
for taxes assessed, several times, and being refus- :
ed, on the ground that the tax was levied on the
capital instead of the profits, entered the bank
with a posse, armed with guns, revolvers and |
sledges, for the purpose of breaking open the I
vault and seizing the requisite funds. At this
state of the affray an armistice was declared for !
, the purpose of calling the directors together, :
that they might decide whether they would or :
would r.ot pay the tax so assessed. The direc- i
tors met, and pretested against paying, and by i
means of guns, crowbars, &c., drove the tax I
' gathering party out of the bank.

the excuse offered by this modern dodge, with
regard to the spiritual causes which influenced
his decision at the time, was not received in
excuse for his temporary concession. The un
compromising spirit thus betrayed by the rest ot

The Stomach prepares the elements of the |
bile and the blood ; and if it does the work fee- '
bly and imperfectly, liver disease is the certain j
result. As soon, therefore, as any affection of
the liver is perceived, we may ba sure that the
digestive organs are cut of order. The first
thing to be done, is to administer a specific
which will act directly upon the stomach—the
mainspring of the animal machinery. For this
purpose we can recommend hoofland’s Ger
man Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson,
Philadelphia. Acting as an alterative and a ton
ic, it strengthens the digestion, changes the con
dition of tbe blood and thereby gives regularity
o the bowels.
(From the Columbiss Times and Sentinel.)
Col. Winter: I still call you Colonel, al
though it would be as difficult I imagine, for you
to establish your right to that title, as you will
find it to be at the end of the various investiga
tions which must take place, to satisfy the pub
lic, that you did not break the Bank of St. Ma
rys, by appropriating its funds to your individ
ual purposes,
But the first object I have in view is to relieve I
your apprehensions, and those of the widows I
and orphans “ in and about St. Marys,” as well
as those of all other widows and orphans, in
reference to the judgment which 1 have obtain
ed against the Bank of St. Marys, in the name
of the State upon my information, and which i
on their account only, seems to be the immedi
ate cause of your furious attack upon me.—Be it
known then that the proportion of any Judg
ment I have obtained, or may hereafter obtain,
against the Bank of St. Marys, which may be
liable to be paid by any widow or orphan, or by
the present stock in that bank of any widow or
orphan, shall be remitted.
A word with respect to bill holders. I un
derstand, that there is not one dollar’s worth of
effects of the Bank of St. Marys, which could
now be reached by any judgement against it;
and therefore if its unsatisfied liabilities are to be
paid at all, they must be paid out of the effects
in your hands belonging either to yourself, or
the Bank, and over which you have absolute
control. Now, Col. Winter, take those effecte
and redeem the depreciated liabilities of the
Bank. Do not reserve a single dollar on my ac
count, or upon the supposition that I may, at
some distant day, obtain a final Judgment against
the Bank, for $47,500. I call upon the bill hold
ers, to cal) upon you, and upon your “ample
fortune.” lor the immediate satisfaction of their
claims. I pledge myself, as under a contract, not
to interrupt you, if at any time, I should find you
appropriating the means of the Bank in your
hands, to the payment of the just claims ot any
bill holder, who ib unconnected with the Bank.
—But I need not make this exception ; for you
know, Col. Winter, as well ss you know where
the assets of the Bank are, that 1 have not now,
and will not have hereafter, any power over you
in this respect, whatever judgment I may finally
obtain against the Bant:. This you ought to
have made known to the public; you ought to
have done it too,in a few words; you should
have said simply : “Don’t be alarmed: there is
nothing belonging to the Bank, which a judgement
can reach ; and I will pay out of my ‘‘‘'ample fvr
tunef all of your claims, and leave Clayton’s
judgment, if he should ever get a final one, to
satisfy itself.”
This would have been much more agreeable
no doubt, to the bill holders and widows and or
phans, (if they should not have been so unkind
and suspicious as not to believe it,) than the
sonorous roar of the artillery, which your valor
and vengeance directed against one, so humble
and unimportant as myself.
So much in justice and kind feelings towards
bill holders, widows and orphans. You and
myself can now remain without further causo
of misunderstanding, so far as this subjectiscon
eerned ; and in as much as you say, that “be it
understood that 1 am not spe iking for myself, for
us a stockholder in the Bank the recent decision has
not caused even a moment's uneasiness ;” u nd that
you “ speak solely for those who hold the liabili
ties ol ths Bank, I cannot sea, why we may net,
as soon as I shall have corrected the eroneous
impressions, which your communication is like
ly to make upon the public mind respecting the

dition,and your own connection with that Bank,
(in all of which the public feels a deep interest.)
shake hands and remain hereafter on social
terms; unless indeed,one who has been, for ten
years, more notorious than any man that ever
lived, for the numlier of his open and willful vio
lations of law’s, flamed expressly for the protec

ashamed to associate with a neighbor, who. upon
the invitation of the sovereign people, as expres
sed through Legislative enactments, seeks to
have one half of the penalties annexed to a very
trilling |>ortioii of those violations and offences,
inflicted upon the offenders.
You own about three fourths of the stock in
the Bank of St. Marys; and therefore you will
be liable to pay three fourths ot any judgment
I may finally obtain against it. But thie gives
you “ not one moment of uneasiness,” and has
been by no means concerned in exciting you to
make an angry assault upon me. No, you are
angry, you are furious, because 1 may tlx a lia

The last report of the Bank ol St. Marys
which I have been enabled to find after diligent
search, was made by you under oath, and bears
date as late as the 31st of May, 1851. I would
not pretend to question the truth ol the state
ment of the condition of the Bank, made in that
I report. It was no doubt true, abbreviated, the
following is that statement:

: Now deduct the whole amount of the liabili- l
j tics $543,888.61 from tbe whole atncnnt of as- j
' sets, and we find that even as late as the 3lst .
■ of May. 1851, the Bank had good assets enough, :
(nearly the whole of them convertible almost j
immediately into cash if it had been necessary) ;
to redeem her circulation, and to pay her liabili- !
ties, and still have left, a surplus of #276,-574 11. I
Thie same report, be it remembered, says that I
I only 6,600 00 of the debts due to the Bank are
I considered doubtful, and that the bad debts had j
i been carried to the account of profit and loss; I
; and were therefore not included in the statement. I
I Now Col. Winter, what have you done with !
: these assets ’ What have you done with the '
j money and effects which belonged to “ the wid- :
i ows and orphans in and about St. Marys ?” :
: According to your own statement, in your late
' communication, the liabilities of the Bank, still I
unredeemed, amount to over $200,000, say 225,- i
000 ; for no doubt, that is low enough ; and we
find in your hands, a fraction over one half a i
million of dollars. For in as much, as you have
in your hands, all that belongs to the Bank, you •
of course, have the funds received for the 225,000 ,
still in circulation, as weil as the $276,574 11.— :
I again ask, where is this half ol a million of as- I
sets belonging to the Bank of St. Marys’ You
have no right to abuse any body, for any thing, j
until you account for this hall a million in di- j
rect, plain and understandable terms. If you are
antitied to credits for bad debts due the Bank. I
and created since that report was made, tell the ;
public who they are who owe those debts, give !
the names, and also the circumstances, giving
rise to the mistake under which you labored i
when you allowed them to be created.
To the question where 7 which I have asked j
you to answer in reference to this half of a mil- !
lion, you will answer as echo would, where ? |
and lest you may give such answer, I will tell I
the public where it is.
Its is vested in two or three hundred negroes i
and in plank roads in Alabama, and I have yet j
to see, in the public prints, a card of Col. Win- I
ter, requesting the holders of the bills of the
Bank of St. Marys, to come forward and take :
negroes at a fair valuation in payment of the '
bills they hold. Negroes never sold higher than I
they do now. At any rate, they are, I believe, '
vastly higher than they were when you pur
chased tbe largest portion of the large number j
you now hold. Bring them over to Columbus, ;
or to Girard, if you are afraid of my judgment.— j
Gira twenty days notice of your intention to
sell them for the liabilities of the Bank of St. [
Marys, until the last dollar is redeemed, and you :
will accomplish two great things—first, you :
will bring tha bills ot that Bank to par as soon '
as your notice appears, and secondly, you will
gat good prices; yea, every high prices for the I
nagroes.
As to how plank roads would se 11, I venture :
ns opinion; out you can if you will, in one
month, redeem every bill of that Bank now in :
circulation by the sale of propeity at high prices, ;
which is in justice the property of the Bank, ;
and in part, of widows and orphans. Why ,
have you not done this already ? Is it because |
vou thought it more profitable to promise and |
premise from time to time, doing nothing: crea- :
ting and keeping up the idea in the mind ol ‘
the bill holder that “these bills, like the bills of
other broken banks, may get worse and worse, [
notwithstanding fair promisee, L had b-aftetat'
take some- thing while I can get if.”
I regret that your attack upon me took such j
a direction, in some respects, that it becomes my |
duty as a matter of defence, to quote the follow- i
ing passage from your communication, and tore- ;
ply to it:
“In all my trials and vexations, arising from :
the malign action of the ill disposed, by the :
blessing of providence I have been sustained by
the almost unparalleled confidence and indul
gence ot the great public, and the unremitted
kindness of my personal friends.”
That “great public.f has recently done what?
They have, through their representatives, chos
en for their integrity, fidelity, impartiality, and
good judgment, and sworn to present “no one
for envy, hatred or malice,” made a presentment
and found a true bill against you after, as it is
publicly understood, a long and careful examina
tion of the affairs of the Bank ofSt. Marys. As
you will no doubt give me future occasion to re- ;
fer to this subject, and other proofs of the confi- :
dence which the “great pablic,” have in you, I !
leave it for the present to devote a few closing !
remarks to change bills.
If I am a “public informer,'' in being so, I have
been a public benefactor. I have done what
thousands said ought to be done, yet taken as in
dividuals, they were afraid to do. It is useless
to disguise it. they were afraid of your power, of
your cunning, of your money influence over
courts and jurors, and of the cry of “public in
former,” which the lawless and rapacious always
in such cases, raise for their protection. Now
for a short history of my opposition to your shin
plaster issues.
You commenced the issue of these illegal pa
pers in this city, about the time of your remov
al here, in 1842 or 3. You manifested your in
tention to carry it on upon a larger scale by
having a second engraving made. You carried
out that intention. You studied the law, that ■
law which the sovereign people of this State,
intended should prevent the circulation of such
paper, whatever its shape, form or peculiarity
might be. You came to the conclusion, that by
putting them in the form ot a bill of exchange,
dated in Apalachicola, Florida, beyond the juris
diction of the State,and drawn upon the Bank of
I St. Marys, you could set those laws at defiance ;
that the meshes of the law might do very well
to hold common men; but that so far as you
1 were concerned, they were mere cobwebs across
I the path of the Elephant. When the hard times
[ of 1842 and 3 passed away, and with ttem all
i tolerable apology for continuing them in circu
lation as change, your issues, instead of dimin
ishing, increased. Strong opposition to such cir
culation grew up until in 1846, if not earlier,
the two leading presses in this city, one of
each political party took grounds against
you. Your conduct and your cupidity,
your disregard of, and contempt for the law,
were freely and fully discussed. The Grand Ju
ry, with Judge Calhoun (at tbe time of his death
Governor of New Mexico.) as foreman, made a
strong presentment against your change bill
circulation upon public grounds,using the strong
est of language, and the soundest of reasoning.—
The city council, even while you were Mayor,
passed resolutions, the object of which was to put
down the evil, by directing its officers not to
receive change bills in payment fortaxes, or oth
er debts due the city. 1 joined in the opposi
tion and commenced by presenting your change
bills at the counter of the Bank of St. Marys for
redemption, as fast as they came into my bands.
This led to the publication in the city papers of
the following card from you:
“Some persons having of late, for reasons best
known to themselves,endeavored to create an un
favorable impression with regard to the change
bills issued by the subscriber, this is to give no
tice, that he has always been, is now, and ex
pects ever to be, both able and willing to redeem
them promptly. He invites all those in this
region, who wish to convert them, to present
them at the counter cf the Bank of St. Marys,
in sums of five dollars or more. Although they
are not made payable here, for the convenience
of the public .they will be redeemed here. As
persons have made it their business for want of
something better to do, to annoy the Teller by
presenting one bill at a time, for the purpose of
annoyance, the Teller will hereafter require,
that they shall be presented in turns of five dol
lars and upwards. They will be redeemed in
small or large sums in payment, or on deposit
They will be redeemed in New York at my ot
4ce, corner of Wall and William streets, in Sa
vannah at the office of W. S. Balo & Co., in this
city at the Bank of St. Marys, as before men
tioned. JNO. G. WINTER.”
For a well written Editmial upon this note,
and condemnatory of your change bills and
wholesale violations of law, I refer you to the
file of the Columbus Times, under date of the 4th
of March 1846. I refer you also to a communi
cation of mine, of the signature of Citizen in the
Columbus Enquirer of the same date, in answer
to this notc.lan'l containing an argument design
ed to induce this community to put away the
nuisance. lam sorry that it is too long for in
seition in thia communication, 1 will endeavor
to introduce it on another occasion.
1 have copied your note tor the purpose of
showing, that you did not, even as far back as
1846, pretend to base your apology for the con
tinuances of your offences,'upon the ground, that
the public needed your change bills on account
of the difficulty of getting silver change; but up
on the ground that they were good. They are
•Wllgoed, suid why I Beeause you are more
1 ’"""y/tber in law or in conscience, to redeem
tnermAhan you are to redeem the bills of the
’ Marys’ Not at all; fer I have
s o ii hat the debts ol the Bank are your debts
—neijts nt y O u rs of the highest obligation ; be
cause yffli had in your hands, as an officer, the
lunes ol the Bank which ought to go at once to
the payment of them. Then why are they still
r' . I ll" ll ''l e<,, n , 'l ? It is because you fear
that if they were not paid, it would be much
eo n i lor mu to get a judgment against you—
f/iul is youi opinion of Courts and Juries; while
it alfords ,ne pleasure to see, that I have been the
me«n»»f driving you, not only to redeem those
Jaw less Bhinplasters, but to redeem them at par.
1 have shown that no threats; no individual
opposition; no newspaper opposition ; no pre
sentnients oi Grand Juries; no resolution ol City
Council, nor ever “annoying the Tellerno
tult#oi grass thrown at the old boy to bring him
down from the free whose forbidden fruit his
cupidity was gathering, availed to do more than
to draw from him the short note I have copied.
At test it occurred to me “to try what virtue
there was in stones.” 1 brought him down, I
havu not on)y been means of arresting nil but
the secret issue of these change bills, and thus
reducing to a vast extent the amount in the
hands of the public at the time ofthe f a ,i ure ol
tne Bank, but I have also been the means of
caiwiQM. such as remained in circulation to be re
deemed at par.
But notwithstanding all this oppposition, you
have not been prevented from maki g, by inter
est alone on these shinplasters, some two hun
dred thousand dollars ; one. item ofthe profits of
violating the law.
You and "the ablest counsel in Western Geor
gia have no doubt that tbe Supremo Court will
reverse the decision of Judge i ve „ on Now in
as much as the ablest Counsel in Western Geor
gie ’ are on one side of the case and Judge Iver
son is on neither, and is not behind any counsel
in Wwrern Georgia as to legal reputation, I shall
not agree with you until the event shall take
place. Nor will I discuss these legal questions
in tbe new.spapers, lest the Judges of the Su
prenieCoiirt might happen to read them, and
conclude that X Was endeavoring to a jf ec t them
in advance or to manufacture future opinions lor
Courts and J uries.

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
It is well known to possess tbo most won- I
dorfully healing, penetrating, and stimulating prop
erties, and by its promptness in effecting cures,
which previously bad resisted all ether medicines,
administered by tho most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy cror in
troduced to tho people of tho United Scatce. It
stimulator the absorbents to increased action, and
thus enables natu . <to throw off disease— it paste
tratss to the adding strength and activity to
the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully
pleasing sensation through the wh lo frame. Owing
to its remarkable anticoptic properties, it purifies
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal:
it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy
cure. This Liniment, from its penetrating and
strengthening qualities, has been found to boa
specific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whitoswellings and
diseased joints, and in fact all complaints involv
ing the muscular system. It has cured cases of
Rheumatism of twenty to thirty year’s standing,
and affections of tho Spino wherein the entire spi
nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the
patient could not walk or stand without artificial
support. Numerous cases of Palsy have boor
cured when tho flesh had withered, leaving nothing i
but the dried skin and bone, and tho limbs total!}
without use or feeling. For Children with Croup

YOUNG’S MAMMOTH CORN. ~
THIS variety of YELLOW CORN, which is bo
ginning to attract the attention ol our Farm
ers, rocommon Is itself on account of its early ma
turity, abundant, production, and superior weight.
It is two weeks earlier in maturing than any othor
Corn known in onr country, and weighs
SIXTY-TWO POUNDS PER BUSHEL.
It is also known to contain r.oro nutritious mat
ter than any other variety of Corn. I recently sent
a sample to market, in order to tost its superiority,
and was offered fifty per ernt. more for it than our
commen Corn was commanding. A sow grains of
it was first introduced in this country from abroad
into West Tennessee, where it was found that the
soil and climate were admirably adopted to its
production. Tho stalk is somewhat larger but
about the usual height of tho common white com,
bearing generally two, and frequently Three Ears
on a Stalk. The ear is very large and grain well i
developed ; with a hard rod cob, which is a sure i
indication of soundness
This Corn is no Yankee humbug—no wooden
nutmeg spooulation, but strictly what It purports I
to bo. An experiment in its production was made
last year in Cass county, by Dr. R M. Young, who
is so well pleased wi:h its superior and prolific yield
that ho intends this year to plant his entire crop
with it.
Tho Corn is neatly put up in sacks holding one
peek, and can bo had at Two Dollars por rack.
