Augusta .—Tho houltli of our sinter ciiy continues
indeed fearfully bnd. Some of her best cWzen*
have fallen victims to tho disense. At such a lime
there mu«t be many, who arc dchorred l lie cum for*
of life; many, deprived ol'tli.so *oiithing Attentions
so indi*|ieiiMiible to the sick. To ho insiriiinentnl

.STEAM TRAVELLING.
Communication between th* North and IIVil
via SAVANNAH.
Our city is, with a gr -dual but certain progress,
becoming a central, and then‘fore, important link
in the ehain of communication between the North
aiid the West.
Our Rail Road, ns wo stated lust week, is already
doing a f dr business In transportation, besides bring*
log d lily in considerable quantities new cotton tu
our market.
Wo uro now ennhled nnd gratified to unnoiinco
that tho Norfolk uiiJ Charleston Steam Packet
Company havo boen induced, through the sugges
tions of our enterprising follow citizen. Ciipt. Wilt-
BERGER, to place their fine bouts, The Georgia
nnd tho South Carolina, on the routo from Noifolk
tothiscity. On Saturday last, (2I*t Inst.) the ar
rangement comm'need, on which day The Geor.
gia, Copt. Rollins, was to leave Norfolk for Sn-
vnnuah. Tho South Carolina will follow her on
•Saturday next, (28th,) nnd the two will leave Sa
vannah alternately on Friday, and thus there will
be a boat from each port, every week.
Our fellow citizens have reason to rejoice nt this
'^Vrungnment, while the travelling public will be
greatly benefitted, inasmuch us they will h-.vu n
new route through tho heal-hv piuo-hurreii of Geor-
gin, whereby thny may seek, ut this season, their
homos in the West
We only require such facilities us theso splendid
Steam Packets will furnish, to m ike our growing
city more extensively mid favorably known; nnd it*
advantages In location, fora Commercial City, need
hut to be known to be appim-lutcd With reason
able prudence, the site of our city insures heulili
to tho resident.
Passengers nrriving here enn lie transported, in
daily cars, into the interior eighty miles, when
stages take them II'at, via Midcdgovlllo and .Mu.

THE OCTOBER ELECTION.
Mr. Editor ;—I believe it will bo ndmitu-d thut
tho majority of tho people of Chatham county, are
favourable to tho principles tint govern the Admin-
isti'n ion of.Mr. Van Bures. The old Union Par
ty ure, at nil event*; uud I believe that many of
tho Stato Right* Party are much more in favour of
Mr. Van Buiien, than Mr. Clay, or any other can
didate now in the field. Thi* being the case—mo
man should bo sent from Chatham county to the
Legislature, who would oppose the leading men-
sure of the present Administration—niitn-’ly, tho
Sub-Treasury—or who will not declare himself in
favour qf Mr. Van Burks's election in prcferencd
to any other caudid.itc now before the punple.
Iiitoriiul Improvement is «pqk<‘u of. Whore is
the tnau in Chatham who opposes Internal Im-
prov.-ment ? Not one. Ami let it not bo forgotten
that it is to the ctforts of n Union delegation—n
Van Bukkn delegation, if yon will—that wo owe
the creation of tlint magraiicont work—the Central
Railroad—ay, nnd that wo nre indebted to u full-
blooded Union Legislature for the passage of the
Bill. People talk about the necessity of concilia
tion, I would conciliate! I would rally nil tho
friend* of tint Administration which is pledged to
support the Institutions of the South ngninit the
inroad* of fanaticism,—I would rally them all toge
ther, and l would fling old party distinctions to the
und*! But how can a Union und Suite Rights
mnn give hi* vote for any individual, who would
raise his voice in the Legist ilure agniust the prin
ciple* of an Administration that is more friendly to
the South than any that ever existed, if we except
those of JKtTKUSON, of Madison, and of Jackson?
Ho cannot vote for such n min. I hope, my follow
citizens, you will deliberate and think for ymj-*o|vos
—or, it-' y -u want coaiitel, be sure to take it from
vour friend* alone.
The cry is— 4 ' til -re i* no pirty!” Th,re in a
pirty in Chatham!!! All democratic republicans
know there is a party. Thqt party i* complied of
the "Frir. d| o' Mr. Van Burke's Admini-tra-
lion." And there is a party opposed to him ill
Chatham. Let the old republican* rhoosg between
them. One party in Chatham gw* for Van UpitKN
—another party goes f -rCl.AY. Once more, 1 say,
let the people say whom they will have. *
I take the following propositions as grnntrd.
1. Tho majority of the people of Chathum county
arc friendly to tho re-election of Mr Van Boren.
2. The Union dc.rucruttc republican* of Chatham
arc a> favourable to Intrrntl Improvement, as the
•' Whig " Suite Rig hts Tarty can be.
3. The candidates of the people of Chatham
should represent llie feelings mud the wishes «f the
majority.
I draw thi* deduction from tho olaivo truths—
no enemy to the prineot administration should be
elected in Chatham county.
Besides, Sir, you will rememlier that in all pro
bability u vacancy may take plnce In our rapre-cutii-
tion in tho Sonato of tho United States. Therefore
no man should he elected hy the (ampin of this
county, who would not vote for a friend of the
present Administration, to supply tho vacancy.
Men of Chatham, pause—seo what you arc about.
My own mind is made up. I will vute for no man,
who is oppos.-Uto tho Sub-Treasury, and who would
def at tbo re-election of Mr. Van Burkn.

Monroe Rail Rond and Banking Co., >
Macon, Sept.20ih, 1839. $
The hill* of tho Monroe (lull Rond St Banking
Co., nnd of the Darien Bunk, are not received hy
tlia Central Bunk in payment of notes due it.—
Persons having payments to make will bo careful
to tivuid making remittances ill the hills of either,”
I noticn tho above article In the Federal Union
of tho 17th in*t..relutivo to the Control Bunk refus.
ing to receive tho lures of the Monroe Rnil Rond
and Banking umpany, which wo uscribe to the
Central Bank.
I regret that circumstances should compel me to
say any thing in rufereuco to tho Central Bank, tlint
would havo the appearance of controversy. But
from tho tuimruf tho foregoing article it is made my
official duty to speak of thesnlyoi t, as in my opinion,
it deserves. It would appear from that article, that
tho Central Bank had made some important disco
very, but leaves tho community to Infer what they
please, Tho object manifestly must bo to discredit
this Institution. If they succeed, wlrnt will they
accomplish T The result will be iqjury to tho pub-
lie, and delay of tho work of this road which is the
only hope the Stuto has hy which to delivor scrsolf
from beaomingtributary to South Curolma. Thu
policy of tho Central Bunk if persisted In, must re
sult in ruin to tho State, und the host interest of the
people. Tho present pressure and otnburrassm-nt
tho Stato of Georgia, has never boen equalled in
the period of our history, and the policy of the Cen
tral Bunk has contributed much to produce the
present stuto of ull'nlr*, by distributing to the peo
ple of the State, large amount* of mon -y in the
common currency of llie country, and then refusing
to furnish a circulating medium from Iter own Bank
to enable the pcoplo to pay their liabilities; cxr.lud (
ing the notes of those Banks that havo circulation,
unT requiring payment to lie made in such funds as
ore not to bo found in the country; pluci.igtlje notes
in suit for collection, requl-ing impossibilities nt the
hand* of tho people of Georgia, who are the legi
timate proprietors of tho Central Bank with ull i's
contents, and in this way compelling tho pooplc
through the Instrumentality of tho managers of tho
Central Bunk to bucomo th'*ir own destroyers. To
whom does the Central Bank belong t It i- hut the
depository of the people’s mon-y; the Treasury of the
Slate. It Is not the property of a fuw that nre at
nil times to ho found aliotll our scat of Government,
feeding and fattening on tho treasury of the Stale.
It is truly the property of the people of Georgiu.—
Then I npponl to tho proprietors of tho Cuntriil
Bank, und ask th-m which nf these two lustita-
thins l»y*tlielr directions, the Monroe Hall Uft at and
Banking Compuny, m tho Central Bank, lin* done
most to promote tho wealth nnd character of tho
State. We tender in proof of our faith, the work
thnl we have duno already, and nre still doing. I
know the |>cnple of my Statu will give a rijilcou*
judgment; therefore, I am encouraged io persevere
in the only work thut unit deliver Georgia from her
present bondage to other States of Jess ability than
our own. This Institution h is ever been ready
nny tiling tlint wn have cons ; d red would
benefit tho Stato. During tho present year,
we have, by loans, given facilities to tho
cent mi-tors on tho State's work to tho amount of
about two hundred thousand dollars, nil of which
was punctually paid until tho Stato failed to pay
them, nnd in liou of cash paid them State scrip, nf
which wo have been compelled to toko between five
un<l ten thousand dollars, which is useless to us und
fear we will have to take mure. Nuw in the fuce
of nil this, tho Central Bank causos to ho published
to the world, that sho will not rnocivo tljo notes of
this Bank. To that wo can only say to thosn that
are in lehted to tho C -ntral Bank, nnd havo the
note* of this Bank, ho pleased to pass by this way,
and give us our note* for tho State’s paper; wo would
gImlly get rid of it. And in the fnco of this treat
ment wo must decline giving limber aid to the
contractors on tbu State work; this wo do with re
gret; uud I am constraitioij to go further This
Bunk, nor it* agencies, will not receive the notes of
tho Central Bank in payment, nr on deposite, nei
ther will limy ho taken in tho offi.-cs uf our Road,
Until tl|o amount of her paper that we hold shall
havo boon rodoenj -d, ant) soffiojont proof bo givon
that thoy arc as oar.ioatly engaged in ‘ho promotion
of tho Stato ns we are. This they mast prove as wo
do by their works. The next enquiry is. have tho
people no remedy for all th : * evil; our State abounds
with tho moans of healing. I will suggest two.
Others may he found. One is to place o mpeten 1
finnneiers nt tliu head of tho Institution, if to he
hud i n Milhidgeville; if nut to he found tli-re, re-
move tho seat of Government to so nu o'igible com*
morcinl place where men of largo and liberal views
are to bu found. *

THE COTTON CIIICULAU.
UKN. M DUVriK’s LETTER.
so tho Editor qf,Ike Honth Carolinian:
Sih:—'Tlw numemii* nnd inressnut dommcintlnns,
to wliieli tho *‘ l.’otlon Cinmlar” has lawn exposttl,
ever since itspuhlimtiun, and ihe misapprehensions
in which those denunciation* seem to have origina
ted, render it in some sort, my duty, to explain
the true object of that paper, so far us I understand
it, and to siiiiu moreover, tint exact ivlulinii that I
bear toil.
While remtii'dng n few day* ia New York, on
my return from Europe, I met with two of my
friend-, who werucoltou planters; and the oxinmr*
dinnry ami artijieial state of the cotton trade, and
its consequent exposure to the mercy of adverse
combi nations, (m i| lu ullier side «.f the wuter, und of
every grent pressure in tho money markets, either
of London or New York, beeumo tho subject of
frequent conversation between us. Wo rmiuurred
fully in certiiiii leading features of n olau, for re
storing tlw trade in tit it staple, which is Ihe actual
cnrrency of our foreign commerce, to sniit 'thing
like the stability and uniformity which should be
long to no nrti lo performing a function sn highly
important'—a plan which would, ut the same time,
promote th • inerost of the cotton planters, give to
our southern bunks tlint control over the foreign ex
changes, tlint tiutumlly and rightfully belongs to t|w
Stales, which produce the staple iipmi which ucurly
all tho foreign billa of,tho United 8 nto* nro drawn;
and by this moans givo a powerful aid, to thn direct
trade >>f importation and uxpor.utiuu, through our
southern cities, in which nil purlic* milling us take
sodeup mi interest.
I will nuw, voty briefly, s'nte the 011 linos of the
plan, to which 1 havu ulluded, ho fur us my views
and opinions lire involved in it.
1 propose that the existing bunks, in tho cotton
growing States, should discount the notes of cotton
planters and others, upon the security of cotton, an-
tttully ilwjiositml in a neighboring warehouse, every
puju-r being put in possession of tho bank, neces-ury
to tho completeness and security of its lieu. Tliul
the notes should bj discuuiitod’iit 90 days, with nil
understanding, that if the proprietor til' tho cotton
dut-rminod not til llUVU it slilpjaal to Europe in that
time, tbu noto must bo punctually paid at its maturi
ty, or the Bilik bo authorized to have the uultuu
sold, holding tliu surplus, a Her paying the note, n*
a deposite to tliu credit of tho proprietor.
But if the proprietor determined to ship his cot
too, which it is presumed would bo the case in most
iiistimces, the Bunk should lie authorized, ul the
end of the ninety days, to draw a ninety day bill
upon Europo uguiust the 001 ton, huving been i|t tho
time of'the shipment, pined in possession of nil
tho diMUiiiieuts necessary to muko that mitliuriiy
eflbclivo, tliu planter or proprietor, retaining the
control over the times uud terms uf selling the cotton,
provided it be sold in time to discharge the bill
drawn against it ut its maturity.
Thi* is tlio whole sum itinl with la lire of the plan
so far as I have hid any agency in it. In setting
down iiiumy day- ns ihe iiu|t* tip* miles discounted,
and bills drawn should liuvc in run, 1 havo merely
udoptud what I sup,use would oc..mvenieiit periods,
subject or coiirsw to nucli mialilicat ions us experi
ence may suggest.
This is a very simple pl:in,riitiraly i|nii|Ciimbi'ivd
with new nr experimental machinery; uia| 1 hough it
aims to work no miracle*, I will point out in n fuw
words, what 1 consider the plain result* t|n<| nhrj
Oils bond'll* it would produce, to our b.iuks, uud our
Col toil plainer*, and our merchant*.
It would pluce oar hanks on a more solid foiimli-
tion than any other hanks in ihe United Stale*, iiy
giving llicni u consmnt supply of foreign exchange
For cxntnple, I send my cotioa to Churh’slon, nt
nny convenient periods. I apply to one of our
banks, lo disc uni my non* at 90 days, upon the se
curity of 1h.1t portion of my cotton actually in tint
warehouse, iusluud nf pursoiml security; tlio bunk
having the cotton inspected, hs current vuluu esti
mated by competent judges, and 0'4cm|t)ting my
onto for such an amount as will reiidur thn transac
tion perfectly safe. At tlio end of die ,1)0 days, 1
pay bfi'my itotn, not in the lulls of thu bunk it-olf,
which it cannot convert Into speule,- hut in nu un
questionable hill of oxcliaugo on London, which I
authorize it t» draw, p .yulilc ninety days nficrsight,
on Baring, Brothers & Co , with w hoso house in
Liverpool, I havo in ll|e meantime, mused mv cotton
to ho deposited, subject to tho lien of the bank —
Now,every well-formed hanker knows that a hill of
oxoliungu upon Lqudon, is to a hank here, [
eqiiivaleiit to so much specio in its vault*. For aft
pruclirul purposes, therefore, 1 pay ofl* my note 10

would g*' lurgoly into this liusim!**, would h ive n
coiistniil supply of sterling exolnmge, of t||o ipost
uiiquftslioitabla kind, that would render it nerfertly
imprugnuble. So much fur iho imm-diuln benefit*
this plitti would confer on our southern hanks.
