CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AVVUBTA. THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5. flj’No Northern Mail last evening—three now behind. No New Orleans Mail yesterday morning—six now behind I “Oh dear what can the matter be.” received no letter yesterday from Mil lodgeville, nor any papers from that place. We are compelled to postpone the consolidat ed statement of the condition of all the Banka in the State, until to-morrow. The Georgia Kail-Road. It affords us pleasure to give the following statement of the receipts from the Road, for the month of November, viz: Amount received for passengers up, $3,673 86 « «< <4 down, 3,641 63 “ “ freight up, 6,600 83 I. 44 4< d own> 13,066 25 « « for Mail, 1,800 00 $28,481 49 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. Give ua only a little more money and a good liver, and Augusta is horsolf still. 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 tim et ipellatim el punetuatim: 1 is this your notioues ye Conning naves h you wish the Banks to Make us Slaves and when tha have gathered in the pelfs farmers May go and hang them sclfea at first tha will spake the farmer fair '1 and all ther Cottin By at pair tl ther Money then to fifty percent will fall n tha will then By it up and Brake us all e n In The following letter to the Editors, details oc- pi entrances of which we have already had accounts, but a* it gives tho particulars more in detail, wo j|- cheerfully give it a place, with the hope that our lu correspondent will favor us as often us his lime tu will permit. 11 at Black Cbekk, Garcy’s Ferry, E. F. 7 w 25th November, 1839. S 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 lican, 27 th nil. “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 Carolina, which waa near leading to a duel, has been amicably and honorably adjusted at Nor folk. 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. JNO. MAi FHEKSON BERRIEN, WM. W. HOLT, A. H. CHAPPELL. Millcdgevillc, 9th November, 1839. 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.

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. Consignees per South Carolina Rail Road.
