The number of bales Colton brought down,
was 9,938, and wc learn that several wagon
loads of cotton have Ireen brought to our market
from Alabama, and many loads from the counties
of Troup, Coweta, Harris, Pike, Meriwether,
Campbell, Monroe, Butts, and Henry. Such re
ceipts speak well for the enterprise, and particu
larly when we further le.irn that the expenses
for the month do not exceed S6OOO.

Legislative Poetry—Mr. Cone of Cam
den, the Poet.
The fame of “Conk of Camden” has spread
throughout the State. He has been, time out of
Hind, the poet of the Legislature, and has not
Rnfraquently made speeches in rhyme. He is
Loco Poco in his politics, with a dash of hide- I
pondence and self-will—good nniured and wag
gish withal. During the discussion of the Bank
bill a few days since, a young member, for tho
purpose of drawing out a stanza or two from
the old rhymer, wrote the following verse and
handed it to him: t
The Bank is up ! “let’s light the layer, r
Preserve hard money, and burn the paper."
Thus loafers cry, poor silly seape-graees, 8
Cut off your noses and spoil your laces. '
To which Mr. Cone in a few minutes returned H
the following verses as a reply ; and which, as wo f
have the original manuscript, wo publish verba

Mkshhs. Editors.: —Herewith I communi- li
cate for publication in your valuable paper, an- *’•
other melancholy disaster, which occurred be
tween FicalaU ami Su Augustine, E. F. It ap- U(
pears that a small body of Indians, in company n
with one negro, were lying in ambuscade with 11
the view, no doubt, of cutting off some traveller w
going and returning from St. Augustine and Pi- p
colata, tho distance about 18 miles. Capt. Searle
of the 2d Dragoons, U. S. A. was on his way
from the former place (say si; miles) to the hit- 0
ter, in the public stage, when suddenly lie heard s
the firing of rifles, and on looking out of the win- 1
dow to see what was the matter, he received a
ball, which passed above his loins and lodged in c
hie back, and is now lying dangerously wound- r
ed. In company with the stage, there was a *
young man riding on borse hack, who was mar- (
tally wounded, previous to Capt. Searle s being i
shot—be lived but a short time—was an inhabi- a
tant of Black Creek (a tailor by trade.) Subse
quent to this attack, say about three hours, and (
possibly by the same party of savages, and with- j
in one mile ofSt. Augustine, a Mr. Whitman and 11
a young ton wen: travelling in a cart, when they '
were bailed by a yellow fellow, who wished to j.
knowwhether there was war or peace then between i
the whites and Indians.—Whitman replied that be 1
believed war existed, and it would bo carried on s
with vigour; the negro wheeled and said something |
in Indian, when three Indians rosetrom the under- t
brush and fired and killed Mr. Whitman, and 8
i
then rushed cm tho call tu dispatch his son, who a
received a dozen stabs and had the back part of *
his bead shot oil'—he was then left in that state, *
the ludiaus fearing no doubt that the troops 1
* t
would lie down upon them. Tho boy relates |
the above facts and says that he has frequently «
seen the negro in St. Augustine, who has often •
expressed a desire to join the Indians. The buy's 1
life is diapaired of ,
Thus you see one officer of the U. 8. A. and i
three valuable citizens of Florida, inhumanly
butchered ; two within one mile, and the two oth
ers within six miles of Bt. Augustine. Alas!
bleeding Florida, when will thy soil be ridden of
these monsters in human shape. It is reported
that Sana Jones has sent word to the comman
der in-c.hie(, or rather intimated that he is pre
pared for the contest, and that his pork is almost
exhausted, that he obtained at the Harney mas
aacre. I send you this rough sketch to do with
it as you please. The fact* can be relied on ;
the whole has occurred to day.
Veiy respectfully, Ac
Destructive Fire.— On Saturday night
last our citizens were roused from their sleep by
the cry of fire. It was discovered to proceed
from a two story frame house owned by Mr. Ja
cob Ramsonr, and occupied by Daniel Beagle
and B. Jetton & Sons as their work shops. The
flames soon spread ; and. on the one side, the
dwelling house of Mrs. Schenck, together with
her out-houses, barns, cribs, &tc. were entirely
consumed. On the other side, the lire soon
reached the store-house of Mr. Ramaour, which,
with many of the buildings on the rear ol the
lot, are now in ashes. His dwelling house, a
large two story brick building, is very seriously
injured.
The loss, we regret to say, is very considera
ble. Mr. Rmnsour had a large and valuable
stork of gmxls on hand, most of which were de
stroyed, as well a great part of his household fur
niture, Mrs. Schenck saved hut little; and the
entire stock of goods, as well us the hooka and
accounts ol Mr, Seaglo and of the Mr. Jettons,
were consumed.— Lincolnian ( JV. C.J Repub

“Beauties or Poetht.”—Some years ago
Mr. George Churchill, then of Albany, hut now
of Illinois, published an admirable selection of
poetical gema, under the foregoing title. Should
the hook go to a second edition, we trust the ed
itor, who wan a man of taste before he emigra
ted toward the netting sun, will contrive to inter
weave the following blossom in his poetical gar
land. It is a bona fide resolution, adopted at a
locofoco meeting recently held in the i*ounty of
Sullulk.
“Resolved, That this meeting look out upon the
season, when the bright and gorgeous leaves arc
gradually fading away, when the flowers and
loveliness of summer are droo|>ing, and feeling
the stern hand of winter pressing heavily, though
not sadly, upon them, without thinking of that
old man whose white and revered locks, like
snow on the nlpine summit, shows how near he
is to heaven, and whose voice, like the sky-lark’s
note, is heard faintest when it soars highest, and
feel that when Andrew Jackson shall go to his
tomb, like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch around him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams, the world has lost a great man—the un
ion a nobler defender of her rights, as well in
the tented field as in the cabinet.”
Oh ye sea-gods and little fishes, that the clam
diggeis of old Suffolk should become poetical!
Counsellor Harrison's nose-gay of thunder-and
lightning, was no touch to it.— N, Y. Cum. Adv.
The Richmond Whig stales that the difficulty
between Messrs. Htanly and Kennedy, of North

Report
Os the Commissioners appointed by author it;/
of the Legislature, on the subject of the Stale
Finances. — Concluded.
I he circumstances which distinguish the enu
merated roads, from others, are the following :
1. They are so connected with the State Road,
that their completion is necessary to make that
road productive.
2. They are so far advanced, ns to give a rea
sonable certainty, especially with such aid from
the Stale, tout they will be speedily finished, and
thus afford a prompt and profitable return, if as
sistance shall he afforded to them by subscribing
fur stock.
3. Ihe amount of work done, nud the conso
ijueiit actual value of each road will afford ample
iecurity by mortgage, to the Slate for the re-im
m aeineiit of any sum which may bo advanced i
’o them as a loan. ,
If this cannot be wholly affirmed of the Augus
ta ami Waynesboro’ Rail Road, for which the re
quired aid would bo small, it is nevertheless true,
that it is so intimately connected with the Slate
road, and with the other enumerated roads, and
especially the two first, (by presenting at their
respective termini, (he means of access to a dou
>/o market) that it cannot fail to increase their
iroducti'Oness. If assistance should be afforded (
ly loan, ample security might he required, and if |
>y subscribing for slock, there is every reason to
iclievc that it would afford the most profitable re- i
uni. The undersigned, however, do not design i
0 confine their recommendation of assistance, by i
he State, to the works which have been enumcr- i
ited, but merely to indicate the principles on ,
which such assistance may ho safely afforded.
On the contrary, they believe that the Legisla
ture will advance the best interests of the State,
>y being always ready to give liberal assistance
to every private enturprize which will benefit the
public when completed, and which is sufficiently
idvanced to afford the requisite security to indem
nify the Stale against loss. Two enquiries re
main.
1. In what way can the State raise tho funds
which ore necessary tor the prosecution of the
public work during tho year 1840 !
2. How, in the present condition of the State’s
resources, can assistance bo afforded to those pri
vate woihs connected with the public road, and
others which fall within the principle, on which
such assistance is proposed to be rendered to
them t
In answer to the first inquiry, the undersigned
would slate that a principal source of expenditure
ou the public road, during the year 1840, will
consist in the purchase of iron. This it i* under
stood may ho obtained in Europe, payable in the
Stale scrip already issued. To the extent which
that sous ce of expenditure may require, that course
is accordingly recommended. If the state should
adopt the proposed system of taxation; and by so
doing, exhibit to capitalists the extent of the re
sources which she will thus promptly call into no
tion, it is probable when the present temporary
pressure ill the moneyed concerns of the country
is removed, that the New York loan of $300,000,
may he extended for a term of years, on terms
which will be consistent with the interest of the
State. In this event the resources of 1840, be
ing thus relieved from this liability, its amount
may be appropriated from them, to the road.
In every event, the State may anticipate the re
sources of 1841. and use them for all other pur
poses, but the purchase of iron, by authorizing
the Commissioners of the public road to issue
scrip in small and convenient sums, bearing on
its face, the obligation of the Stale to pay the
amount, with 6 per cent, interest, nud counter
signed by some one of the public officers of the
State to be designated by law, such scrip to be
receivable in payment of taxes of which the
amount payable in 1841 will according to the
proposed system, be nearly $400,000. Such
scrip, within the proposed limit, would it is believ
ed constitute u convenient domestic currency, and
be adequate to all the purposes of domestic ex
penditurc on the road. If it is desirable still fur
ther to aid its circulation, this may he done, by
making it receivable from the Bunks in payment
of dividends to the State
The length tu which this report has been una
voidably extended, forbids, and other considera
tions render unnecessary, any specification of the
details of the act which should regulate ihc issue
of such scrip.
The second inquiry may bo thus answered
There are two modes in which tiic Stale may
afford assistance o (hose works, which have been
hitherto sustained exclusively by individual re
source.
First by loan, secured by mortgage on the
whole work. The amount lent to consist of tho
bonds of the Stale, payable at distant periods, ami
bearing an interest of 6 per. ent. such bonds to is
-1 negotiated by tin aspec,;vc companies as .p 1)a ,
• ,ttu “y °ft‘ r. and then necessities require
•
The terms of the loan might even require the
payment by the companion, of the interest of
the buiidu which they ehould negotiate, thus pro
tecting the Stale from any actual outlay, while
against ultimate loss, they would he defended hy
the mortgage ot the road. They should also in
clude provisions lor a prompt enforcement ol the
mortgage, in the event of any failure on the part
ol the company, to comply with the stipulations
of the contract.
Or 2dly, such assistance might be afforded by
subscriptions for stock by the Slate, under an act
enlarging the capital of the respective companies,
for the specific purpose of enabling the Stale so
to subscribe; the bunds ot the Slate, issued as be
fore, to he received in payment of such subscrip
tion, and to he negotiated by the respective com
panies—the amount of the interest of the Stale
as a stockholder, and the time of its commence
ment, and increase, lobe regulated hy the amount
of such bonds, negotiated hy the company, and
■lie time at which liny are negotiated. In this
case, interest would he payable by the Stale, and
the amount of its outliy, would ho tlie difference
between the interests* payable and the dividends
it would receive. Here, as in the former case,
the undersigned absuiii liom entering into details.
. The security of the Sale would he found in the
amount of work already done, promising the spee
dy completion of the vhole;in the extent of indi
vidual interest, the pirent ol vigilance, involved
in the sttccos l'ul cuntucl ol the enterprise, and
might he still further guarded hy a representation
according to its interests in the direction of the
company.
The undersigned have thus endeavored to per
form the duty required from them hy the resolu
tion of the I,legislature of 1838. They annex a
descriptive list of the documents to which they
have referred. As these are voluminous, instead
of incurring the expense and delay, necessary to
niakoa transciipt of them, they have been deposi
ted in the Executive office, subject to the cull of
the Legislature,
All which is respectfully submitted.

ADDITIONAL NOTE.
The aforegoing report was written at the close
of the political year 1839, and of course before
the general statement of the condition of the Cen
tral Dank, on the first day of the political year
1840, was made. The variances between this
statement and that of the Kith of October, 1839,
referred to in the report, to a certain degree ren
dered unavoidable hy intervening circumstances,
suggest the propriety of adding to that report, a
lew brief remarks.
First.—lt will ho seen that the Capital Stock
which, in that report, was stated at $1,541,300
29, although increased hy having charged to it,
the amount of a warrant drawn hy the Governor,
in favor of the Commissioners of the Western and
Atlantic Hull Road, to $179,516 39, was dimin
ished hy the operations of the past year to sl,-
311,817 91.
Second.—The charges on the profits of the
year 1839, stated in the report of the 10th Octo
ber Inst, at $30,525 89, and in that of the 4th
instant, at $48,034 92, which are noted in the
report of this commission, us not heinsr explained
in the former document, arc distinctly specified
in the latter, and arc now understood to consist
of Legislative appropriations specifically charge
able on those profits. The time-checks are also
now stated to he due on the 13th December next,
and to have been grunted in aid of the Commis
sioners of the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
Third.—There is a variance [startling, at first
view,] between these two documents, in the in
crease of depo its from $27,852 89, in the fc rat
er report, to $155,737 51 in the latter, without
any corresponding entry on the other side of the
account. This, however, is explained in the let
ter ol the President of the Dank, to have arisen
from crediting to the commissioners of the West
ern and Allman- Had road the balance ol a war
rant drawn hy the Governor in theiefavor, which
the hank was tillable to pay.
Fourth.— We note also a small variation in
the amount of its circulation hy the redemption
by the hunk of about $1,(100 of its bids.
Fifth.— Looking to the oilier side of this ac
count, wo remark that of bonds, notes, &c., re
ceived from live Slate, which have been consider
ed unavailable, we ought to have noted in ex
amining the account ot the loth of October, mat
commissioners acting under a resolution of the
Legislature, on the sth of November, 1838, re
ported $34,940 55 of that amount to he good,
and that to this is to he added, as derived from
the latter document, and not found in the report
of the 10th of October, two items, viz- Loan to
town ol Columbus, to build bridge, $10,856 80,
and notes for public arms, $441 53, both of which
arc represented to he good.
Sixth.—The notes of the Bank of Darien in
the Central Uank.weie supposed in the report to
amount to $120,000, and us we have since learn
ed from tlie President, they did in fact amount to
a larger sum, hut they have been reduced hy pay
ments made hy the Branch at Duhluhncga, to tho
sum stated in the report of the 4th instant, viz:
to $118,447.
Seventh.—From the same source also, we
learn that of the amount of deposits staled in the
report of lire 10th of October last, $37,852 84,
the whole is not in fact due to individuals, but
that a considerable portion of it stands to the cred
it of the State, and of tlie United States. These
variances do not, however, change the principle
of the report, or weaken the three ol the sugges
tions which the undersigned have found it their
duty to make to your honorable body; on toe
contrary, they serve to increase the urgency of
the call upon the Legislature, to adopt immediate
means ol meeting the liabilities of the Slate. The
balance of the unpaid warrant in lavor of the
Commissioners of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, which is placed to their credit as indi
viduals on the books of the Bunk, must he provi
ded for, since they have, without doubt, hem
compelled to resort to temporary expedients, to
postpone until the present time, the payment of
the claims which this fund was intended to
meet.
The undersigned are perfectly sensible that
the aforegoing report fulls very far short of pre
senting an accurate vie*- of the finances of the
State, and with all the ißTigence which tin y have
bestowed upon their task, and with much greater
ability titan they could bring to its accomplish
ment, they feel that this must be so, from the
very hope, feet materials horn which it has been
prepared. They have doubled whether the sug
gestion which they are about to make, would he
considered hy your honorable body to fall within
the sphere ol the duties assigned to them. Their
thorough conviction of its necessity, however, has
induced them eventually to recommend to your
consideration, the propriety of an entire change
in tho mode of keeping the public accounts.
They do not enter into details, because they do
not feel that they arc authorized to do so, even if
thoir limited knowledge of accounts would enable
them to suggest the necessary reformation. They
are perfectly satisfied, however, that if this sub
ject could engage the attention otThc Legislature,
great benefit would result to the State; and that
this might he accomplished by the agency of a
Legislative Committee during the present ses
-81011.
Os the indispensable necessity of adopting ci
ther the suggestions of this report, or some other
more available, and heller calculated to marshal
the resources of the State to meet its existing |ja
■vl.iics, no better evidence can be presented, than
that whiui is coiuiutitu in the letter ol the Presi
dent ol tho Central Bank, accompanying his last
♦
report, which distinctly states >he-.nahilitv n
Bank t > meet its present indebtedness, and de
clares, dial if to this he added the appropriations
of former Legislatures, for which the Bank has
been m ide liable, it may confidently he stated,
that its receipts for the ensuing year will not en
able it to discharge its liabilities.

Lines on the death of a Friend.
How will my heart, now torn by anguish,
E’er cease to sigh, to moan and languish?
Must I then part from all I love?
Must sadest fate her torments prove,
On this poor friendless heart of mine,
Whose every throb is hut for thine?
Oh my ever dear,
Sole one that e’er my heart could cheer,
Without thee what is life to me.
What, without me, would it have been to thee?
The thought distracts my troubled soul,
And fills me with grief I can’t control.
Without thee my life’s a waste,
Through which my soul will love to haste;
T’And had 1 but one hour to live,
That precious hour to thee I’d give.
The joys that thou couldst give,
Boomed am I never to receive;
Then let me look to Heaven above,
Where we may meet in happier love. C.

so innocent, so cliicacious and so pleasant, that in
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it
\\ lien infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bolt,e of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Sviun
in the nursery where there are young children; for
1 a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores ind healing the gums; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. w t
