Sedan's Report.— Wo republish to-day the
peport ofthc deaths of last month, for the pur- |
pose of correcting an error which occurred in its |
last publication. The deaths among the colored
population were 13, instead of 8, as erroneously |
Staled.—Five of those deaths were infants under I
the age of 13 months,
Indian Affairs. —The article under a similar
head, which we copy from the Georgia Journal,
more fully explains the subject mentioned iu our
last, respecting the citatitet served by John
Ross, principal Chief of the Cherokocs, on the
Governor of Georgia on Monday the 37th till.
Wo arc indebted to the politeness of Thomas
E, Green, Esq. the Post-Master ut Millcdgeville,
for the means of correcting an error which oc
curred in a paragraph in our last paper, in rela
tion to tho celebrated citation from the Supreme
Court. Mr. Green states that he did not servo \ :
the citation on the Governor, and was not re
quested to do so. How this erroneous impres
sion was made on our mind, is to us totally in
explicable. Wo received it, apparently very
clearly, during afr ee conversation on tho sub
ject, with his Excellency Gov. Gilmer; and it
is very evident, that we some how or other tips
understood him—how we cannot conceive.
yi re writing the above, we are indebted to
Uie kindness of Mr. Green for another commu
nication on this subject, tending in some degree
' to explain what before appeared so inexplica
ble. And tho’ Mr. G’s interpretation of the
notice on the back of the letter, appears to ua to
be the correct one, we incline to the belief, from
Uie impression made on our mind by Gov. Gil
mer, that he looked upon it differently. In this,
however, wc may he wrong, as we cannot clear
)y recollect the words, by which the impression
was made; and we must undoubtedly have mis
understood him in part, al least. —k\ e lake the
liberty of publishing Mr. G's letter, because it
places the matter in tlu> clearest possible light,
and wc consider it due to the people of Georgia,
tliat the main subject, so deeply important to
them, should ho made fully known in all its par
ticulars. We tender our thunks to Mr. Green
Ihr his polite and gentlemanly attention, which,
from our frequent communication with hisofhee
during the late session of the Legislature, we
can say is peculiarly characteristic of Ins whole
deportment, particularly with the public; and
that ho is evidently, in tho most complimentary
sensn of the term, a vigilant, accommodating
end vatu ible public officer:
‘ ■ Millalgerille, Jan. 3d, 1831.
Dear Bib, —I this afternoon saw the com
munication from Judge Marshall, to the Gov
ernor, ond, for the fust liim , the following
morandum on the bach of if, viz. : “ The Post-
Master will please deliver this loiter to the Gov
ernor immediately.” From this I presume you
took up the opinion that 1 had been requested to
serve the notice— hut this memorandum, being
on the hack of the letter, was not seen, and if it
had would not have enabled mo to prove the
Mi-vice, as I was furnished with no intimation of
tha content’* ofthc packet. 'lhc letter in ques
tion was delivered, with such other letters us
were in the office lor the Executive, itnmodi
jflely on opening tljc mail, to UiC Messenger,
Mr. Fair; and thus, had 1 seen the memoran- s
duin on the buck of it, I should have considered 1
it complied with—the apparent object being that r
the Governor should receive it as quickly us I
possible. 1 have not made those coummnica- c
lions with any view to a correction of the matter i
published, as I don't suppose it is material, but [
to place the matter in a proper light before your- r
self. t
Yours verv respectfully,
THOMAS F. GREEN.” <
- t
lIAJVK OF MACON. 1
i
Wc presume it is generally known to our read- ,
ers, that a desperate effort was made, during 1
the laic session of the Legislature, by a few \
individuals, probably actuated by motives of
personal disappointment, to destroy the well- I
established reputation and credit which this ’
* ]
institution has long enjoyed with the public, j
The opposition of some live or six iiniiinucntial I
individuals, we understand, has been exerted *
against the Bank almost liom the very moment
of its commencement, by running on it for specie j
as far us funds could be raised by Them to c.x- ,
change for its tills, and spreading abroad reports |
injurious to its reputation. Tho inefficiency of '
this opposition, industrious ns it was, lias been (
shown by tho unwavering confidence of the i
public in receiving the hills of the institution—a |
confidence which was justly enhanced by the
promptitude with which it mot all reasonable
demands —and that opposition was therefore
treated with merited contempt, till it assumed '
a factitious and delusive importance before the
Legislature. It was there promptly mat, ,
mi the part of the institution ; and wr tin- i
dorstund that tho President proposed to sev
eral members of tho Legislature, that if, as- !
tor an investigation of the subject, the slight
est doubt should ho expressed or entertained by '
anyone, ofthc entire stability or correct man- '
J i
agement of the Bank, they should immediately ,
cull fur the appointment of a committee, to make i
a personal examination of all its internal con- 1
corn*. —The highly favorable result of the in
vestigation, will ho found in the following Re
port of the Committee on Banks, which was ,
promptly agreed to by both brandies of the Le- i
gialaturc; and thus the misguided and unjust 1
opposition of the enemipi* of the Bank, has prov
identially reacted against themselves, and tend
ed, very properly, to the benefit of the institution
it was intended to injure. May such he the
result of all malice or injustice—whatever its
source or its object:
THE COMMITTEE to whom were referred
the annual statement of the Bank of Macon, the
memorial of several citizens of the town of Ma
con, tho counter memorial (if the President of
that Bunk, ulid accompanying documents, Re
port :
;.Thal having curwMW referred
in a sound and stable condition, So far as your
committee are advised, tho limits prescribed by
its charter, have been strictly observed, and its
requisitions fully complied with. Thu amount
of specie in ils vaults falls little short of the
amount of capital slock paid in. Tho amount of '
hills in circulation is considerably loss than its
| capital stuck would warrant,'consistently with
j the provisions of its charter. Bulieung Inal the
, affairs ofthc Institution mo managed with good
{ faith to the public, and profit to the stock-holders,
| your committee would cheoifully submit a reso
! Union expressive of that belief, and take leave
|of the subject. But duo respect to the memori
alists, who have preferred a charge against Ihc
Bank, and justice to the Bank itself, require
an investigation into Ihc subject matter of com
, plaint.
The memorial alleges a violation of the loll)
section of Uio act of incorporation, which pro
vides for prompt redemption, on demand, of the
lulls of the Bank, and concludes, with a prayer
fur an investigation into ils affairs, under the
l lthruloof the 7th section, which subjects ils
hooks, papers, coirespondcnea, and funds, at all
times, to the inspection of a committee, to he
appointed by the legislature ter that puiposo.
The allegation is extremely indefinite, inasmuch
as it neither states whether or not, tho demand
was made by or in behalf of any other Bank,
j nor whether there Was u refusal to pay generally,
'or only to pay in specie.. There being a pro- 1
vision in the charter of the Bank of Macon, by !
which it is authorized, when its bills arc present- i
ed for payment, hyoriu behalf of another Bank,
to pay m the hills of the Bank so presenting smi
demanding payuiunj. Much statements in the
allegation are deemed necessary. Tho allege- '
tion general, as it is, is wholly unsupported by
any evidence referred to your committee, ex
cept a copy of a notarial protest of Grey Cham
plain, which, in the opinion of your cntimiitteo, 1
is sufficiently accounted for by the affidavit of 1
James Rea, Cashier, and the certificate of the !
said Grey Champlain.
Those documents are as follows;
.Ist. Two letters wiittcu by T. I*. Bond, Esq. 1
to the present Executive of Georgia, smi to his 1
predecessor, requesting the interference of those 1
officers in certain alleged disorders in the affairs 1
of the Macon Bunk, and their answers, declining '
the interference sought. 1
3dly. A letter from T. I*. Bond and 11. S. i
Cutter, Esqrs. (two of the memorialists,) to the
Honorable Senator from Habersham, covering
a certificate, arid proposing seven individuals i
us lit persons to constitute the contemplated <
committee of investigation, three of whom are i
signers of the memorial, and one also a signer '
of the same letter. '
;idly■ A copy of a letter addressed by T. P. 1
Bond, Esq. to I. Wilcox, Esq. Cashier of the
Branch Bank of the Stale of Georgia al Macon,
charging that Bank with having loaned specie to
the Bank of.Macon, on a late occasion, to enable
the latter to make a fair exhibit: which charge,
although unsupported by any evidence, i“ clear
ly refuted, in a certificate ot the Cashier, refer
red ou the part ofthc Bank.
4thly. A written opinion of fifty two gentle
men, that the Bank of Macon ought not to oppose
an iuvestigation lief re toe legislature.
fithly. A certificate of T. B. Bond, Esq. set
ting fortli the manner in which uu cxaminal mu
inti) the affairs of the Bank, by three gentle
men (hereinafter referred to) was conducted.
Gtlily. A certificate of Rice Durretl, Esq. sta
ting that ha did not sign the memorial against tho
Bank, to which his name appears.
Ttldy. A letter of T. I. Bond, accompany
ing the two lust mentioned documents,
All these documents, your committee think,
afford no evidence of the charge contained in
tho memorial, which is itself a hare written de
claration of seven individuals, not signing under
sanction of nil oath.
Assuming, however, that the charge is true,
it is, as before observed, remarkably vague, hud
therefore susceptible of explanation. That ex
planation is afforded by the counter memorial of
the President of the Bank, which, w hile it does
not contradict tho statement iu tho ntguiotijkb
supplies tho precision nnd fulness in which the
latter is wanting. It sets forth that tho present
ment of hills, and demand of payment, were on
behalf of the Marino and Fire Insurance Bank
of Savannah, and that payment was tendered
in the bills of that Bank, which, being refttsed, a
protest and suit at law ensued. This Inst memo
rial, is, imho opinion of your committee, to say
tho least, entitled to as much credit as the other,
and by it tlw Bank is represented in the light
of a corporate Institution, not violating the salu
tary provisions of ils charter, but prudently hus
banding its resources, by meeting a pressing
demand at once safe to itself, and consistent
with tho charter. But had the Bank really vio
lated the 13th suction of tho act of incorporation,
that section prescribes a remedy by suit at law,
which the parly aggrieved (if indeed there he a
grievance) is now regularly pursuing. If, there
fore, the memorialists fool any sympathy for the
sufferers, or any apprehensions on behalf ofthc
public, your committee would refer them to lire
party plainlitViu that action, to w hom ilicir assis
tance in making out the case, would, doubtless,
ho highly acceptable.
There is, however, among tho documi'nls re
ferred, an address to the committee on Banka,
from T. P. Bond and H. 8. Cutter, Esqrs. in
sisting on ihe charge already considered, and
e referring three additional charges against the
ank of Macon.
Ist. Tho loaning of more than ten .thousand
dollars to one individual, which is forbidden by
the lllh section ofthc act of incorporation. For
proof of this charge, reference is made to the
President and Cashier of the Bank of Macon,
and to tho President and Cashier of tho State
Bank. Your committer), not being invested
with power to send for persons sud papers,
could not avail themselves of this testimony,
and are therefore in the dark on that subject.
3dly. Tho violation of the 18th rule, 7th sec
tion regulating tho keeping of minutes; and in
support of tliis charge no proofhas boon offered.
3dly. The purchasing of cotton by agent, con
trary to the 13th rule, 7lb section; no proof of
which lias been submitted.
Your Committee cannot suppose that it ever
was intended to predicate extraordinary iegis.
lulivo investigation, into tire affairs of any Bank,
upon the statements of two individuals, unsns
tuined by evidence, nnd the less so when upon
scrutiny, these statements assume tiro more airy
form of vague suspicions that all is not right.
But the officers of the Bank of Macqn, know
ing that Midi a memorial had been presented; in
tlie. exercise of abundant caution, have not cho
sen to rest their case there. Among the docu
ments referred, is a statement of this Bank,
made on tiro first of November, tho correctness
of which is attested by O. 11, Prince, Esq. W.
R. Rogers, President of tiro Branch Bank of
Darien, at Macon, and John T. Rowland. Presi
dent ofthc Branch Bank of dm State ofGnorgia.
Notwithstanding much business Iftid been trans
acted by the Blink, sought to ho circumvented,
in the interval between tile dale of the first, and
the date of the last statement, the latter repre
sents it in a no loss flourishing and sound con
dition, than the former. In addition to these
circumstances, it is a fact of general notoiiety,
that the Bills ofthc Bank are at par throughout
tho State. For all those reasons, votir commit
tee are of opinion, that tho investigation sought
is unnecessary. -And if necessary, they believe
lat. lhe provision m tho'chaflor to wlrich
die memorialists refer, prescribes an extraordi
nary procedure, intended to prevent injury to
the public, growing out of gross abuse* of Bank
ing piivileges. To induce surh a step on the
I part ofthc Legislature, there should he proof of
such abuses, or of circumstances warranting
reasonable presumption, that they do exist.—
But on an impartial review of all lie circum
stances, within tho knowledge of your commit
tee, they entertain no suspicion, that such abuses
arc practised by that institution.
2d. By well established custom, full credit is
given to tho reports of tho Banks, signed by their
Presidents nnd Cashiers, as officers acting under
(ho sanction of oaths.
A resolution of tho Legislature, ordering such
an investigation, would operate as a temporary
withdrawal of that credit, and would necessari
ly weaken public confidence in the institution
so distrusted. Hence would result depreciated
currency, nnd los* of business, injuries, width
tile Legislature should not causelessly inflict, nnd
which the officers of all hanks arc in duly hound
to resist.
Your Committee cannot close lids report
without remarking that the memorial against
lire Bank, comes before them iu a very ques
tionable shape.
In the first place, tho fact that iu a population
so large ns that of Macon, tho memorialists arc
only seven m number, warrants the belief that
Hicir complaint had its origin rather than in per
sonal piqno than in public grievance.
Secondly, 'Hie garbled statement of facts in
the memorial characterizes a had cause.
Thirdly. The impossibility of extracting con
clusive proofliom tho runny documents submit
ted, argues the entire absence of evidence.
Lastly. The unauthorized nomination hy the
memorialists of a comm dice of investigation,
three of whom are of ilieii own number, evin
ces a disposition to make themselves arbiters of
the rloslmy of a valuable public institution, for
which they certainly entertain no very ardent
friendship. To grant all they ask, would he
equivalent to making the Rank of Macon depen
dant in a cause in which the memorialists would
be complainants, witnesses and jurors. Looking
beyond the case under consideration, your com
mittee urge tho impropriety of establishing a
dangerous precedent, as an additional reason for
rejecting the prayer ofthc memorialists.
Each successive Legislature would ho troubled
with frivolous complaints of malicious individu
als, disposed to annoy, if they could not injure
officers of Banks, wlmso iiiisforinne it had been
to offend them. Although hanking institutions,
should not he permitted to trample on individu
al rights, nor to set at naught public good, it will
not be denied that they also have absolute rights,
which should bo respected. .So closely are they
identified with the general weal, that injustice
to them, is injury to the public.
Influenced by these considerations, your com
mittee recommend the adoption of tho follow
ing resolution;
lie sol red, That the affairs of ihc Bank of Ma
con, have been so conducted, ns lo entitle that
insulation to the approbation of Ihe General As
sembly, and the confidence of the public.

It will ho seen by the following paragraphs,
which wo copy from the Columbia Times 4’
Gazette, that the Legislature of S. Carolina, as
its late session, was exceedingly liberal to our
ontcrprizing'ncighbor, Mr. Shultz, and to the
Town of Hamburg :
‘AVoeall the attention of our rcadersto a trib
ute to our talented and enterprising fellow-citi
zen, Henry Shultz, Esq. published in our pa
per to day. His perseverance and public spirit,
have enabled him lo accomplish much for the
State of Smith-Carolina, and the conduct of the
Legislature evinces a magnanimous disposition
to bestow commendation and reward upon the
meritorious.”
COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Editor :—I lake pleasure iu calling your
attention to the diet, that the spirit of persever
ance in a good cause, has given the Town Build
i or, Mr. Hf.nrv Shultz, a complete victory over
a nine years persecution. Iu tho year 1821, he
■ founded the town of Hamburg, in the fnco of
” that wealthy city, Augusta ; the Legislature of
this State granted him the same year, a loan of
$511,(100, to aid him in his bold utidcilaking; for
w Inch he gave a mortgage of his interest in said
Town, lo tiro State. The Legislature in 1830,
ordered his interest in said Town to he sold, and
appointed him one of the Commissioners, for
that purpose. The whole of the original Town
was sold, for a division between all the parlies
concerned therein. The Slate became the pur
chaser, and the Legislature, at its late session,
has ordered all tho interest of Ihe Slate in tho
said Town of Hamburg, lo he' re-convoyed to
ils founder, Mr. Henry Shultz, on his paying at
any lirtte within two years, the original sum of
$50,000, and tho present purchase iiiOdcy, ro
■ leasing all the interest of the said loan. They
have, moreover, appropriated money lo pay in
surance on tho property, opening and making
streets, repairing houses, &r. and have author
ised tli* Bank of the stale of South-Caruliua to es
tablish s Branch of that Institution in said Town.
This must certainly bo considered a wise nnd
generous act of a Legislature to reward indi
vidual enterprise. There is rarely one among a
thousand, who enjoys the benefit of his genius,
talents, mid enterprise. The following just tri
. hole from Judge Earle, in his Report as Solicitor
; for tho Western Circuit, respecting the before
named transaction, 1 lirg von to insert in y.mr
“ I cannot conclude this report without e\-
, pressing Ihe higli sense which I entertain of tho
services of Mr. Sliultz, who has been associated
) will) mo in all tho important and difficult parts
f of tho transaction. Iris great experience in mat
. tors of this sort—his zeal, ardor, industry—bis
! knowledge of business and of men, have ena
bled him to render mo essential aid, without
. which I could not have succeeded so well a* 1
i trust I have done, in nceomplisliiug the objects
which tho Legislaluru seemed to nave had iu
) iew, and winch wore committed to my charge.
I feel assured that Mr. Sliultz has exerted all
his ability to promote the interest of the State,
in this matter, honestly, punctually and faithful
ly, and that lie has entitled himself to lliu undi
minished confidence ofthc Legislature.”
Wc noticed some days since the intention of
Mr. and Mrs. Tvvrss, to open a School for young
Ladies in this city. Wo arc inlormed their plan
of instruction is of tho most comprehensive kind,
including Mathematics, Natural and Moral I’hi
loßophy, Languages, Music, and Belles Letters.
They expect able assistants in some of these
branches, and of their own competency lo per
forin the task they have undertaken, there can
he no doubt. They are well known as the tal
ented and assiduous instructors of Ihc Sparta
female Academy.— Constitutionalist.

A a argument from eT]ie.rii nre. —Gov. of
