From the Savannah Georgian of Friday. Lute from Florida. We learn with regret that Capt. Searlc, Quar ter Master U. S. A. was shot at hy Indians, while on his way from St Augus ine to Ficol.ita. Ho was at liie time in the stage, and was badly wounded in the hip. He remains in a danger ous stale, A while man. riding behind the carriage on horseback, was first shot. He died a short time after. I'hese depredations are earning nearer home quarters than usual. Business cut out for the Government. One paper says Mr Woodbury will come a beggar to Congress; in other words, exhibiting an empty treasury. How this is we don’t know ; hit) it is pretty certain that the treasury is some millions in debt, in the shape of outstanding trea sury notes. But, notwithstanding this, it is ad vised, bankrupt as it is pretended it is, to get in debt three hundred millions more, and pay otfthe debts o vod jn Europe. And this is not a solita ry Item. It is warned that it is as far from a set tlement of the North Eastern Boundary question as ever, and that there is a tolerable prospect be fore it of a war with Great Britain. But. neither is this all. The murder of Ridge and his party, and the difficulties among the (’herokees. whom the government has bound itself to protect, pre sent tolerable in filiations of a fair prospect of a gcneinl war with the vast hordes of Indians accu mulated on the Western frontier. Besides which, preparations are making for another vigorous campaign against t lie ragamuffin Semi notes, which is likely to keep no small amount of pub lic money einr gliding into the swamps of Flori da. There arc, also, sooie half dozen public hull lings lobe completed, at great expense, the one in New York alone costing upwards of three millions; in addition to which, the vast machinery ofa great National Sub-Treasury, with four great buildings lor Receivers General, and other small er ours, is to he set in motion, if Congress, as seems likely, thinks propel to sanction it. The exploring expedition, at an expense of some five millions more, is kept up some where in the neighborhood of the South Pole; and it is now also proposed that our rich and enterprising gov ernment should build a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien; to which we may add a pro position to reduce the price of public lands and the rales of postage, and, at the same time, per haps. increase the number of clprks, and raise their salaries, already too high hy about thirty per cent, as the times go.— Mud simian. From the St. Louis Daily Bulletin. Bank op Missouri.—By an advertisement, in l»-.lays piper, it will be seen that the Bank of Missouri lm»determined neither to receive or pay out any tiling hut gold and silver, or the notes of specie paying hanks.—This, under all cireum s.auccs, is a most extraordinary move, and will render it almost impossible for our merchants to pay liieir debts. In tie first place, there are not notes amounting to twenty thousand dollars, of specie paying hanks, in circulation in our city, and as specie is worth from 6 to 7 percent, pre mium, it is absurd to think that business men will make such a sacrifice to ootiiin it, to meet de mands which they expect to pay in the common currency of the country. Indeed, if they were even willing to do so, wo do not know whore the sdver c.mld he had. A meeting of the business men. merchants, mechanics and tradesmen ot Bt. Louis was held on the 13th instant, to take into consideration the p riicy of the hank; at w.ncli, am mg Other resolu tions, the following were adopted : Resolved. That, as the sense of this meeting, it will he no discredit to any individuals having piper matured this day at the Bank of Missour, to allow »ii.J paper to go to protest, if a lender is made at tlie hank, or to the H ilary, of currency hitherto bankable, And is refused. Res lived, That a resolution purporting to have been issued hy the Bank ofthe .Stare of Missouri dateil the 1 2tU instant, and published in the pub lic journals ot Hie day, is unjust in prin ipie and iinpos- able to be reduced to practice, and what ever may he the consequences, must ail<i will he dis egarded. And that the Ha, k h_e requested, in justice to herself and the great interes.s she was created to priitet t and preserve, to pursue her hitherto course of policy. Resolved, That a committee of seven lie ap pointed i>y the chair to c niter with the Fresident of Uic Bank of Missouri, and learn w iclher the sdd Bank is determined to adhere to the princi ples of the resolution ah ive relerred to. namely the resolution of the 12rh hist.—and report to an adj turned meeting ofthe citizens to he held to morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, Guo hob McCvlloh, (V.

If the anti-hank croakeis, do nut like the “ credit system,” let them praclci the cash system. If they do not like a “ foreign debt,” let them encourage domestic productions and manufactures, and cease to use foreign merchan dise— and if they do like fluctuations in the cur- I reney. let them cease to borrow, and place the Banks under close restrictions and wall hl'ul su ; pervision. If this course was pursued, instead of j spending their strength in the Jacobinical cry of “ down w'lh Ihe merchants,” “ don: a with the hanks.” Ace., an immediate relief from lhe evils now resting upon us would he experienced.— Hartford Patriot. Report Ofthe Commissioners appointed hi/ authority if the Legislature, on the subject us the Stale Pi nances. — Cunt in tied. The system which is recommended to your j honorable body, as adequate to the purposes of public education, embraces three provisions, which may he thus briefly recapitulated : 1. The endowment t>i the University of Geor gia, and ofthe other principle seminaries of lear ning, Jiy fixed appropriations, as recommended in liie preceding part of this report. 2. The distribution among the county acade mics, of the present academic, fund. 3. The assessment of an annual capidation tax, for the purpose of raising a fund for lh« sup port of common schools. Our attention ,s next to he directed to a sys tem of finance, which shall lie adequate to meet the ordinary expenses of the Government, and of the public works. The ordinary expenses of the Government for the last year, and the average of those expenses since the. year 1828, as these appear in the report of the Treasurer, have been taken as the data from whence to calculate their probable annual amount in future. They have been considered as embraced under the following heads: Civil Establishment, Print ing Contingent Fund, Military dishurs, moots. Redemption of public debt, Penitentiary, and Presidents and Speakers warrants. The expenses for the year 1838 were ns fol lows : For civil establishment, $39,928 01 Printing. 19,824 85 Contingent fund, 16,867 16 Mditary disbursements, 4,895 33 Redemption of public debt. a non ol Penitentiary, 15,000 00 President's and Speakers warrants, 88 906 80 Ordinary expenses for 1838, $186,795 53 ('lie a'crago ofthe same expenses since 1828, is ns follows: ’ For civil establishment, $38,869 47 Printing, 14 355 79 Contingent fund, 18.059 31 Military disbursements, 3,077 63 Redemption of public debt, 787 55 ’ | Penitentiary, 7,386 00 Presidents and Speakers warrants, 67,751 58 Ordinary expenses, average fur ton years, $148,286 33 i " 1 On the basis furnished by those two exhibits, 1 and assuming that ihe Legislature will make sii' h reductions as are in its power, we have considered • that the ordinary annual expenses of the Govern- I ment, may he estimated at ; 150,01*0. J lie views • ot the undersigned in relation to the provisions necessary tosusla.n a system of public education have Ik en j ready slated. It remains to consider ■ the probable amount of expenditure on the public ! works, and the public debt contracted, or to he • contracted far this object. - Under the act of 1830, the State is engaged in f the construction ot a railroad from some paint on or near, the Tennessee river, to the Ghulla -6 houclicc. 'IMe act declares the work to he a i State work, and that it shall be constructed with ■ the funds ofthe State. It is understood that the i grading of one hundred miles oftliisroa l from VVlnli hall in DcKalb county to Cross Plains in it Murray county, has been nearly completed, in cluding the construction ot a number of costly > bridges over the several streams which it «• oases. > The vigorous proseeut'uli ofthe work is demand- B | ed. as well from the large amount already expen ded, on which liie Bta'o Is paying Interest with ■ | out any return, ashy the signal advantages which l ; will result from its early completion. Forty, a ; three miles are yet to lie graded to reach the tcr ■ | nvniis originally contemplated at Ross' Landing, ■ and only eighteen, to a rive at Red Clay, its ‘ i point of junction which the Iliwussee Railroad, ■ I which is itself understood to he graded to within twenty mil 's of that point—so that th rty-eight ] miles of grading only remain, to reach the Hols ton at Knoxville. ! But the utility of this magnificent work, do pends on others of a simila' kind, which have , been hitherto sustained exclusively hy individual • enterprize. Terminating itself in l)i Kalb, it must seek communication with Charleston', along ‘ the fine ofthe Georgia and Hamburg railroads, ; or with our own domestic seaport, hy menus of ! the Monroe and Central ronti s. If the resolu tion under " inch this commission lias been con c stituted, is carried out in the spirit which dictated r it—if it is the purpose of the Legislature to sus r lain, as in the present age it ought to bo sustain -5 ed. tlie great work of internal improvement, it is - incumbent upon us to provide means, not mere - ly for the completion ol that which is peculiarly - ; our own, hut a so to enable us to give tim ay as - sist.inre to those great and meritorious enterprises, r which have been hitherto sustained by individual - resources. If we look to it in a merely calcula - ting s,.int, the duty qf aiding these works ism i joined upon us, because their ornpl lion is cs- K ' si ntial to give value to our own. But if we cn s large our views, and contemplate the benefits which will result to our whole people, irom the "■ establishment of these various lines of eormnnni i cation, through our State, that duly is impcrhivp. • ly urged upon as. under the influence o: a high er and belter feeling. J'liis assisian e must, i.f c cmrse lie limited by die amount which die Slate ;, can comma.i i, and satel y divett irom u„ own I particular enterprize, and can inve»; m tnese pri vale works, on terms of undoubted security for its rdurn. The undersigned arc not unmindful ol the embarrassments in which the moneyed con cerns of the world arc at this moment involved, and of the general failure of the attempts to oli tain foreign capital, in aid of similar enterpnzes. They are perfectly convinced, however, that these embarrassments are temporary—all experience testifying, that pressure and redundance, me al tiTiutioi s whii h follow each other in certain suc ei'Sbion. If the State of Georgia will establish a competent system of finance, and will so mar shal her resources as to exhibit to foreign capi talists, the means of prompt and regular pay. ment of the interest, and of the equally certain ultimate discharge of the principal, of the money they may clesiri to borrow, we think there will h - no difficulty when this is ai romplished, of ob taining on loan, such amounts as may he neces sary. We look to England, as the chief source Irom whetice these loans are to he obtained, and her m mey market has for some time (last, from various causes, hcmi in a situation to forbid her capitalists from affording these facilities. The state of presnre there, cannot probably continue. Her currency of £60,900,000 sterling, greater in proportion to her population limn that, of any 1 other nation, is so small compared with her | wealth, that there is in country upon earth in j which so much use is made of credit, an exam ple of which is given at what is called the Clear ing House, in London; whore payments to the amount of fair or five millions a day, are made by the use of two or three hundred thousand pmiids in coin, or hank notes. Wc think we cannot he deceived in supposing, that as soon as we can show to the English capitalist, a sate and productive investment of his money, it will not lie wanting. In this view even under the discouragements I arising from flic existing state of things, wo are I in lu ed to pursue our enquiry. It remains to direct our attention to the subject of taxation, since in the present state of our a (fairs, it is to taxes that we must chiefly look as a permanent resource, U> meet the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the Government. Every Govern ment which docs not possess oilier sources of in come, must of enurse require from the people, such a contribution as is necessary to defray these expenses. lit other words, the people must pay the expenses ijicurrod hy their own agents, em ployed in their own service. But there is a re ciprocal right on the part of the people. An eminent writer bus well said. “Every person is entitled to Ire protected in the enjoy ment of his property, nut only from invasion ot it. hy indi viduals, hut from all unequal and undue assess ment. on the part of the Government. It G not sufficient that no tax. or imposition can he im posed upon the citizens, hut hy tli dr represenla li es in the Legislaiure. The citizens aie enti tled to require, that the Legislature itself, shall cause ail public taxation to he fair and equal; in proportion to the value of property, so that no one class of individuals, and no one species of property, may be unequally or unduly osscss ed.” It is believed that the very brief view which has been taken of our existing system of taxa- Don, has been sufficient to shew conclusively, that it if. not “fair, and equal in proportion to the value ot property” and that “some classes of in dividuals. and some species of property, are both iincqunhly, ana unauiy MRmifeca.'* dm wcllnpc to remedy these evils, hy an adherence to our present system of taxation 1 We think not. The experience of half a century is against us.— Hitherto the evil lias been comparatively little felt, because the taxes have been light, and therefore it has been borne. The ample resources of the Slate, have heretofore enahbd us to meet the rx pen<cs of the Government, without drawing lagely from the pockets ofthe people—hut now when these resources are diminished, and in some cases extinct, and when our expenses are increas ed, an 1 incre ising, an additional corresponding amount of taxes, must necessarily be levied. The equality of the levy can alone secure to it, the approbation of the people, without which no sysu in of taxation can lie efficient. There are besides intrinsic difficulties attend ant upon the present system of taxation, which it is not easy to overcome. All the property of nil the citizens, should contribute in just propor tion. according to its respective value—or at least the cases which should entitle to exemption, are too inconsiderable to affect the question we arc considering. If the comprehensive view of the Legislature may embrace every different species of property, which ought to he rendered liable to contribution, the reater difficulty would remain to fix in an Act of permanent legislation, the just and equitable proportion, in which they ought 1 respectively to contribute. The remedy for this, in the view ofthe undersigned, is to resort to an ad valorem lax, specifying only as objects of tax ation those which are productive, leaving their ' ' a Ine to he ascertained hy the return of the indi vidual on oath, nnd in default of this, hy the as -1 sc sment ofthe Receiver, with such persons for 1 the rev iew of that assessment.’ ns the Legislature may prescribe. Such a system prevails in some i f (be other Stales, and as it is believed; has been • fouii'l both equitable and efficient. It is thought that it w ill be important, so far as it ran bo done, to retain the officers heretofore employed in re ceiving returns and collecting taxes, as the peo i pie are accustomed to their agency. The uniler f .-nod will itier-etore proceed to propose a system of taxation, which may carry out the intention of the Legislature, ns expressed in the resolution under which they are acting confining them ’l sc! cs.as far as is practicable, to the agency of j those offices.

A Description.—The police reporter ofthe Bt Louis Bulletin thus describes a prisoner, rharg cd with excessive indulgence in what Fulstaff calls “strong potations.” The shrewd twinkle of the small grey eye—the cotton bandanna handkerchief curiously twisted about his long lithe neck—the st iped Irowsers, scarce mect.ng at mid-leg with a pair of substan ( lial blue woollen stockings—the broad-striped Valencia vest, with the Stripes ruriningdingoimlly across the chest and meeting in on acute angle at the waistband—the shock of coarse h rir which hung about the forehead like a bundle ofbuek wlient over a pumpkin—allbetmyed no unalloyed Yankee ofthe grecnesi kind, to use his own ex pression, “jest picked off the hush.” Havingtaken his seat, he crossed his legs, put his elbow upon his knee, and dropped his under jaw into the palm of bis right hand, exhibiting, i in the manoeuvre, an enormous quid of pig-tail, | which he continued to mil ami twist about in his j mouth, while his face exhibited the most ludicrous contortions. Hope—We cut the following beautiful and graphic description of hope and its uses, from the Detroit Spirit of ’76 : Hope is the great mainspring of virtue. It gives action to all animate existence. It is the bread which feeds ambition, the incentive to per severance. the compass to virtue, the shield to Christianity, nnd the only solace in death. If it is blighted, the pilgrimage of life is like a troubled sea—we float down its dark stream like the lost mariner on the billowy deck. Aided by its cheer ing beams, the immortal mind looks beyond time, nnd anticipates (he beauty of another and a hap pier existence. The beauty ofthe rainbow van ishes in the storm; and the meteor’s flash is hut a moment; the glittering gems of heavt n will one day go out; the sun himself lie extinguished; hut the star of Hope shines beautifully foievcr.
