being a detachment from the steamer Poinsett.
Ail Uio officers and m>'ii wore invited to thn dunce,

place where tho Indians wore assembled before they
were fiillenupnu by these blond thirsty devils, and
butchered In a most horrid munnor. One uf tho
mon was pierced with filly halls 1 Tlw other two
were most shockingly mangled. Tho Indians |>o-

were in the fort, wlm, no doubt, would havo boon

by which not only tiio debts made directly with

Dear Sir,—Mr. Winchester called on me ihN

In reply, I beg to say that 1 shall be in B>*stonsoon,

Mr Quincy is drawing in Boston on Messrs. During,

Tlie bank* bore generally, are in a position of
great strength, and their engagement* so reduced,
Umt nothing can touch ib- m without their owneon-
sent—and they may not only continue, but increase
Uiuir discounts—and havo more specio than is de
sirable for thorn to keep, nnd a* 1 understand tlie
position of the Boston banks, they ore equally
strong, and witbngood understanding between them
may giv.r tho necessary relief to the community.—
Boston too, is getting to be a creditor city, and oei'<|
fool undor no apprehension, whatever—nothing

not only continue lo pay specio, but ihat tluro will
boa gradual relief to lliu money market.

MEETING AT TUB EXCHANGE.
On Tuesday evening, a meeting of murchuuts and

appointed to confer with the bank* of thi- city. A

their answers.
These Iuttor* were nearly oftho same tenor, nnd
declutcd thut while they had each dono nil in their
power to relieve the community, thoy would still
persevere in discounting, to the utmost extent of
their ability, ThoCity Bank offered, ifnther* would

per cent, of iucupilul—suy 25,01)0, uud the Tre*

These I* tors Inn ing huen read and well received,

the result of which was, thut under existing ciicum

tlte adoption of the resolutiutts. Ho vVus followed
by Mr. Amos Walker.
On motion of Mr. Thomas B. Curtis, the resolu

the present crisis, und tlmt it he recommended to
them to discount in course of the present wo-k five
per cent of their capital. Mr. Peter T. Homer
tmido some remarks in favor of thi* resolution, ui.d
it was farther *u-tallied by Mr. Nuthnn Apploton,
and opposed by Messrs. Degrand and Walker. Tlw

ha* causod the death of a human being. That such
lin* ever occurred we do not pretend to avert We
shall, however, a " plain unvarnished tale unfold,”
nnd if its detail* are not sufficiently appalling to
rouso an unquenchable indignation in tlie braRstof

On Thursday morning about 10 o'clock, Mr. M.
Hanlan, officer of tbo 4th Ward, found an unfortu
nate man, named William Kitchimnn, lying at the
f«H»t of Dover street in a stato of insensibility, and
apparently laboring under the effects of intoxication.
The officer very carefully conveyed thepojrmun
to the lower police office, where a complaint was
duly made before the magisttrate, and h« was fin.-d
$o and ordered tu be committed unJet proper care
to tho city prison.
Ho wu* then taken in, nnd though utterly insen
sible was thrust, by the under keeper*, into a place
railed the " hole in tho wall"—a p ace appropriated
to the confinement oCnoisy and drunken persons.
H -re tlm unfortunito wretch was suffered to

THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.
This " true blue" Nullificr dorive* a drop nfcnld

Below, we give the return*, so fnr a* heard from, by
wltii'h it will im seen that the pcnplu Imvo rejected,
by nn overwhelming majority, “ Hilly Springer’s”
plan for tho Beduntion of tho Legislature.
Now, Mr. Journal, bo not quite so fnst, but stop
nnd 44 correct yonr error*.” Tho p'nn submitted
to the people for their ratification was advocated in
tho Convention by somu of tho ulilest mon of your
party—wo ulltiilo to Judgo Berrien, of Chatham,
and other*—and not atriim by tho independent
Senator from Carroll. But how cold tho rnmfort,
that oppressive LegUlutivo expenses are imposed
upon Um people by tho consoquoo'es of their v-ito
against ratification, when tlmt pooplo Imve dofeuted
thn amdidutc oftho 44 true blues" for tho Gtibernn-
toriul Chair, und returned largo majorities in both
brandies of tho Legislature for Van Buron. This
is comfort with a vengeance.
THE GEORGIA JOURNAL again.
Wn correct our error. Mr. Turner, elected from
Putnam is not, it seems, tho author nf 44 Lacon” in
tho old Standard, as we worn assured by two gon-
llemon, on whom wo relied, but n brother of 44 La.
con" and " a politician of quito a different stamp.”
Be it so. Our disappointment in this individual
instance is nmply healed by tho fact that tho voice
of Georgia sustains tho 44 Democratic” principles of
44 Lacon," umi rejects tho 44 true blue" doctrines of
44 Old Putnam.” Tho mqjority of tho people go
for tbo tri-colored flag, which represents their
principles— Union Democratic Republican. The
glorious "Stars” represent the Union—the blue
field, tho Democracy—tho stripes, thn Republican
principles which the advocates of Van Buren prac
tically enforce at the ballot box. Now, gentle-
men, this is poor comfort, 44 any way you can fix it.”
(From the Journal, of Tuesday.)
CORRECT YUUR ERRORS.
The "Sitvntmuli Georgian” says, tho Vim Buren
Purty have elected "one in Putnam, Mr. Turner,
tho author of "Lacon," in the old Standard, and
perhaps tho other Representative.” Not so fnst,
gentlemen. Badly os we have b«-en beaten, it has
not yet " come to thie " All tbo inumber* from
Old Putnam uro " true blue" Niillifiers. Mon or
the right stamp, not in tho slightest degree tinctur
ed with Van Buren D-.mocrooy. The " Mr. Turner"
that is elected, is a brother of 44 Lacon," but a poli
tician of quite a different stamp. Whenever 44 Old
Putnam" is represented by " Lacon," tho Stato
Rights Party of that county must bo utterly extinct.
Hi* 44 Democratic” principles wont do for •' Old
Putnam,” "an troy you can fix it."

dinary statement as an oxcurofor omitting fnmon
ied wino in the Sacrament.
"In respect to meats, drinks, clothing, manunl
labor, See. Stc , the Snvinur noted with the knowl
edge nf a mere man. He knew not that the drinking
of intoxicating liquor* was injurious to tlm human
constitution He of course, knew as we did fifteen
veer* ago, that it wns injurious to get drunk; but he
know no better thnn we did, fifteen years ago, that
drunkenness, instead of being nn accident,is a legi
timate consequence of drinking intoxicating liquors,
and tlint thi* habit i* uniformly pernicious.”
A* ha* been justly remarked by another, the plain
Infrrcucoi*, that in tlie opinion of Gerrit Smith,
"Tho example of our Saviour is not a safe one to
follow IJ!"
A TRUE PATRIOT.
Tn the following benutiful extract—beautiful be
cause it shows tbe force of virtue, and the power
nf integrity, as ll exists in tho h n art of one who
loves his country for herself alone—and who would
drem every sacrifice light when demanded for In r
welfare. It Is to such mon that the Supreme Be
ing delegates the trust of preserving a nation from
the rontamination of evil principles, or tho cupidity

44 If I had been ambitious, I should have sought
an nllinnce with that powerful institution (the Uni
ted States Bank) which even now'aspires tn no di
vided empire. If I had been venal, I should hare
sold mjselflo its designs—had I preferred personal
ease, tn the performance of. my arduous duty, t
should cense to molest it. Tn iho hialury of cor-
quetnisand usurpers^ never in the fire of youth, nor
iu the vigor of mnnhood, could I find nn attraction!
to lure mo frum the pnth of duty; nnd now, I *haQ
scarcely find an inducement to commence the cn- k
reer of ambition, when gray bnir* and a decayed
frump, instead nf inviting to toil and battle, call
mp to the contemplation of other worlds, where
conqueror' case to be honored, and usurpers expi
ate tlinir crimes.
• 4 The only ambition I can fed, is to acquit my
self to Him to whom I must soon render aa account
of my Htewaidship, to sorvo my fellow men, and livs
respected and honored in tbe history of my country.
No; tho ambition which leads mo on, U nn anxious
desire, Bnd a fixed determination, to return.to the
penplp, iinimnnired, the sarred trust they have con
fided to my chutge—tn heal the wounds of the Con
stitution, nnd to preserve it from, further violation;
to persunde my countrymen, as far as I may, that
it 1* not in a splendid Government, supported by
powerful monopolies, and aristocratical establish
ments, that they will find hnppiness, or their liber*
ties protection; but in a plain system; void of pomp,
protecting all, and granting favors to none; dispens
ing iu blessings like the dews of Heaven, unseen
nnd unfelr, save in tbe freshness and beauty they
contribute to produce.”—Andrew Jackson.

has "advocated” the issue of small notes by the city

about the 5th of Novomhor, by the enterprising

SMALL CHANGE.
In some of our neighboring cities, in order to
keep small cUan?« in circulation, it is sold, that it
has l-eon propo-ed and adopted to receive .and pay
small silver coin at the following rates:
5 cent pieces at 6j cents.
10 do. 124
25 do. 28
50 do. 5fr
We understand that the Moyamensing Bank of
this city have it in contemplation to receive end /
payout small silver coin in change at these rates,
where the operation dues not at one Ume exceed
five dollars.
The meeting in the State Hou«c Yard on Satur
day,the proceeding* of which shall appear to morrow
recommended to iho oublicto take Bank note* at
a di-count equal tn the difference between thorn
and silver. It will be seen, therefore, that there
are two modes bofutu the public for the purpose of
keeping change in circolation, and it remains to de- •
cido whirhis the most convenient and practicable-
At a hasty glance, the first method seem* to be Iho
less liable to load to confusion in the details of busi
ness, though the other is tbe most natural, and in
the strictest conformity to the real state of tbe case.
Wo understand that a number of sellers in mar
ket on Saturday, virtuallyediqued tbe plancontein-
plated by the Moyamensing Bank, and about to
carried into effect in the District of Columbia, by •'
