MIDWAY MANUAL LABOUR IN
STITUTE.— The Steward’s Hall, con
taining the eating and sleeping apart
ments ol the students, and of the stew
ard’s family, was consumed bv fire on
the I9th instant. The file commenced
while the students were in their reciting
rooms in a different edifice, and had made
great progress in the interior of that part
of the hall occupied by them, before it
was discovered. V hen the alarm was
given, the flames had already spread ex
tensively, and were raging furiously in
their apartments, and the entry leading
to and passing between them. Nota room
could be entered with safety; and most of
the scholars have lost all of their clothing,
except that which they were then wear
ing, with every thing" else which they
had left in tlierr chambers. The fire, no
doubt, originated in accident.
Tins casualty, although deeply regretted
as a severe loss to the institution, lias not
interrupted the studies of the school for a
single day. The academic building for
merly occupied by Messrs. Mead & Sikes,
now furnishes school rooms; and the
building recently occupied for this pqr-
pesc, and the new academic building,
which is nearly finished, serve as a sub

On this question the Georgia Journal
fears to take a decided and candid course;
hut its disguise, awkwardly worn, does
not conceal its real sentiments. It indi
rectly advocates the cause of the intruding
bank, and openly assails those who .would
exclude it from our territory. It repels
the idea, that an enormous monied insti
tution can corrupt our people. It employs
ihe shallow artifice of demagogues, who
attempt by flattery to insinuate them
selves into the favor of their fellow-citi-
zena. No one affects to believe that the
ir/iole pcojile. may be corrupted; but the
entire frame-of our government rests on
the belief, that individuals may act cor
ruptly. What has given rise to our laws
for the punishment of treason, but the
certain conviction, that cifijens may be
come traitors? \Y hy have we laws to
punish theft? Because the experience of
the past has established a belief, that there
are individuals who will steal, unless
restrained by the dread of punishment.
W hy do we retain laws for the punish
ment of bribery, if our citizens are in-
capubic ol tins base crime? We pitv the
inexperience of him who believes, that
in Georgia there are not men, av, public
men, who can be corrupted by money.—
To establish u corrupt influence, it is* not
necessary to resort to direct bribery-—to
tempi to gross and palpable dishonesty.
In the transaction by which patriotism is
bought up, and a country’s rights are
sold, specious names are employed, de
cent appearances are preserved, and lie
whose virtue and honor have been barter

country; and concealing the secret bias

UNITED*STATES’ BANK, NOT
INDEPENDENT OF STATE AU
THORITY.—We hud hoped that the
intrusion into Georgia, of «he United
States’ Bank, chartered by Pennsylvania,
would call forth one general and over
whelming burst of indignation; and that
the intruder would lie driven from our soil
by lire Stern rebuke of an injured and
insulted people. We perceive with re-
•et, that this corrupt and dangerous in-
itution has its advocates in Georgia; that
there are men among us, who maintain
that the State is powerless to control it;
and who exult in the belief, that it has
power to establish and maintain itself on
our soil, in defiance of tlie authority of our
government, and in contempt of the- will s,ia *’ es eonstituuiur 11,0 1
>f our people. J ‘l ,e . r,!nc . of ll,e sa ! e «
One of the first manoeuvres of its ad
vocates is, to connect the defence of this
ntrnsion of the United States’ Bank, with
ihe contests of existing parties in ihe State.
They say, that the supporters of Mr. Van
Buren have denounced the movement, in
order to benefit liim in ihe State. We had
iclieved that on this subject there would
be no distinction of parties; and that men
who have habitually opposed each other
inrlv strifes, would here forget their
past animosities, and with generous rival
ry, vie with each other in maintaining the
uilhority of the State, and defending her
nsiitutions and her principles against the
designs of the foreigner. The prompt and
spirited opposition made by the Southern
Recorder to this intiusion, gave counte
nance and strength to this opinion. But
f we xvere mistaken, be it so. If the
state-right’s part}' will arry itself on
the side of the United States’ Bank, we
will promptly meet it inthis new field;
and here gain victories not less dc-
isivo than those which have heretofore
crowned our arms, in our war against
tho distinguishing doctrines of that party.
Next after the Columbus Herald, a press
for whose principles it is impossible to
feel anv respect, tlie Macon Messenger
declares itself in favor of the establish*
meat of this foreign power in Georgia. In
irdcr to obviate the" objections which have
been made to tbe transfer of tlie Insurance
Bank of Columbus, it affirms, that the
foreign capitalists have not purchased the
barter; that they have acquired only the
stock of this corporation. A most lumin
ous distinction! Will this partisan of the
United States’ Bank kindly inform us,
how the charter of a bank can be pur
chased, except by the purchaao of its
stock? The word charter is used in two
senses. It sometimes means the law itself,
the consummated act of tbe legislature
establishing a corjioralion, preserved in
an authentic form in the archives of the
State, and promulgated to tlie people in
the volume of laws. In this sense a char
ter is not property, and cannot be bought
or sold. In tho other sense, the word
‘charter” is equivalent to the phrase
“chartered rights;” and it means the rights
or privileges granted by the legislature in
the act establishing a corporation. Under
a bank charter, these .rights or privileges
are appurtenant to the stock, and arc sold
and bought with it. They are the pro
perty of the stockholders. The sale of
the stock of the Insurance Bank of Co
lumbus of necessity included in it, the
sale of these ^chartered rights, or, in com
mon parlance, of the charter of this bank.
The distinction under which the Macon
Messenger endeavours to skreen t his trans
action from public pondemnation, is a
flimsy cobweb.
plausible arguments to cover his frailty,
and labours to exalt in the public estima
tion that corrupt power by which lie has
been seduced from the paths of honor,—
1 lie benefits which he receives are called
fair business transactions; or an accom
modation granted by a disinterested and
liberal friend; or a proper reward for
superior merit.. It is true, that the whole
people of the State cannot be corrupted
by money; but a number of public men
sufficient to control the policy of the State
may be biassed by the favor of a corpora
tion wielding a capital of thirty-five mil
lions of dollars; and while they may avoid
the appearance of receiving bribes, and
may preserve a fair reputation, they will
be drawn by the seductive inffuonee to
ipaiiilaiii opinions which their unadulter
ated reason would ri ject, and to support
mint whom their unbiassed judgment
would condemn. Who that has eyes to
see, has not observed the enormous in
fluence of the Central Bank? And this
institution is a pigmy, when compared
with the United States’ Bank, chartered
by Pennsylvania.
\Y e have seen no reason for distrusting
our information, that the purchase of the
Insurance Bank of Columbus has been
made with the funds, and for the benefit
of the I nited States’ Bank; and signal
folly, or great hardihood is requisite" for
maintaining, that a corporation existing
only by a statute of Pennsylvania, can
bold ativ rights, or exercise anv powers in
Georgia. Tlj^ultempt of this Pennsyl
vanian corporation to hold bank stock,
and to exercise banking powers in Geor
gia, ought lobe prevented by the proper
authorities of our State,
It we are correctly informed, the pur
chaser has been guilty of a direct and pal
pable violation of the charter. This instru
ment declares, that “none but a stockholder
entitled in his own right to fifty shares,
shall be eligible as a director.” We have
been informed, that of the three thousand
shares constituting the capital of this bank
at the time of the sale, twentv-four hun
dred have been purchased by the United
States’ Bank, and are held in the name of
Jaudi m, its cashier; and that per
haps six hundred shares are owned by citi
zens of this State. We have understood,
that the individuals who now occupy the
place of directors, have sold their interest,
and no longer hold slock in their own
right. If this be true, (and we fully be
lieve it,) it is sufficient cause for the for
feiture of the charter. And shall this
immense corporation be permitted, by in
direct means, to obtain possession of a
charter granted by tlie State to her citi
zens; to make use of this charter for the
purpose of introducing into the State, an
enormous banking capital, such as the
legislature would not tolerate in our own
citizens; and to transcend this charter at
its pleasure? Shall it be permitted in
sidiously to obtain the benefits which the
charter conferred on our cit izens, and per
fidiously to evade the restrictions which it
imposed on (hem? Can a corporation e\ist
in the State, whatever specious disguise
it may assume, without the sanction of
our legislature? Shall it be permitted, by
the introduction of its immense capital,
to alter the whole banking business of the
State; and to lay the foundation for an
irresistablo control over its commercial and
agricultural prosperity, and its political
character?
Several topics urgued by the writers
who occupy the columns of the Georgia
Journal, are reserved for a succeeding

From the St. Augustine Herald, "Uh
We learn from iNewoansville, that there are
panics of Indians lurking in that neighborhood
About three weeks since, a party of three came
to the plantation of Mr. Parish and killed a Mr.
Ostein, his son in law. Mr. Parish saw them
commit the fatal act, while standing in his door;
called to them and dared them to come nearer
toifie 1 louse, aifd he would make sure of one
of them, when they made off. Mr. Parish had
abandoned his place on the breaking ogt of
hostilities, and had recently returned to his
home.
About the same time, a small scouting party
went to the plantation ol Mr. Haig, ‘about ten
miles from Newnansvi!le,.at uight, and discov
ered an Indian tit a small fire in the field. A
Mr. Youngblood, who was one of the party,
crept lip, ahd shot and scalped him; they sup
pose there were two oilier Indians in company
with the one killed as they found three packs
and three rifted.

Crock had been taken by tlie Semiiioles and
carried to an island in the Orange Lake, from
whence lie made his escape, and that he slates

that they have abundance of cattle and hogs;

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS AGAIN. '
Indians in the Hear of the Army.— Ou j
Thursday Inst, eleven of twelve negroes belong
ing to Mr. B. M. Dell, going frcun Black Creek
to Newnansville, were captured by a purty ol
Indians. Tlie particulars are given in the fol
lowing letter:
To the. h'.ihlor—
Dear Sir—Lest a wrong construction should
be put upon the capture ot Mr. IJ. M. Dell’s ne
groes, I give you as near as 1 can, the particu
lars:
Two or three weeks ago, Mr. Dell sent a par
ty of his blacks to his plantation near Newnans
ville, hoping that so near Llie fort at that place,
it would be safe for him to mike a crop this
year. Finding, from the presence of tlie Indians,
no safety could be found there, lie rented a
place in Houston county, whither he intended
io remove his blacks. Uu Tuesday or Wed
nesday last, be. started a wagon and team, with
twelve negroes from Black Creek, to join those
already at Newnansville, in order to go from
thence to Hamilton county. Yesterday, the
5tli inst. about eleven o’clock, eleven were cap-
lured near Mrs. Monroe’s place, on tho road
from Black Creek to Newnansville, by, it is be
lieved, lit) or 39 Indians. One only made lii.s
escape. I’he United Slates baggage train was
before them, but how furl do not know. The
militia from this and Nassau county, sent as an
escort to said train, under command, I believe,
of Lt. Hart, passed the wagon and negroes but
aslioit time previous to tho capture, and fortu
nately took with them from the wagon, Mr.
Dell’s little sou, William, who would otherwise
have fallen a victim to Indian barbarity.
I write in haste. Should 1 learn farther par
ticulars I will inform you.
Rcspecifu.lv; your ob’t servant,
Jan. oth, iR.-n. James dell.
We ure indebted also to the politeness of Col.
Dc-il for the following letter to him by which it
will be seen that tho Indians made good their
retreat—that their numbers increased on their
way b v others joining them—and that they in-
htunanly murdered two of ihe eleven negroes
they had taken prisoners. Isaac was a prime
negro fellow, and was probably stubborn, or
perhaps he opposed the murder of the little ne
gro boy Charles, and for that opposition lost his
life.
These make twenty negroes Mr. B. M- Dell
has lost in consequence of the breaking up of
his plantation by this insufferable Indian war.
When will poor Florida cease to bleed from
fresh wounds inflicted by these infernal Semi
nole*!
On FridaV of last week a party of twenty
men and five Creek Indians went in pursuit of
those who made tlie above capture. Ttiis par
ty is the scout referred io in tlie following li tter:
Black Cheek, Jan. 8, 1837.
Dear Uncle—l arrived hero Iau? last night,
about 8 o’olock from olF ihe scout. YVc went
to the wagon, and when wegoi there, we found
it torn in pieces and the oxen killed. Wo had
been there about three minutes, when up rode
Philip and little Wig, [sons of B. M. Dell] not
knowing a word of what had happened. We
took the trail and followed it about three miles,
when we found Isaac and Charles killed. Isaac
was sliot through the heart, struck behind the
ear, and his jaw bone broken. Charles was
slabbed in four or five places. We buried lln'in
and then took the trail of the Indians and fn|.
lowed it till dark. We then camped for the
night. In the morning, we followed the trail
until yesterday, 12 o’clock, when wo found
iliere were too many Indians for us and a long
distance ahead. We turned back. If there had
been fifty more of us, wo might have followed
them to their hold. Nothing more at present,
r I remain yours, in hasto,

Indian Warriors who were encamped about 25
miles from this place under charge of Lieut.
Sloan, broke loose yesterday morning, and took
to the woods, carrying with them their rifles,
ammunition, &c. their number is some two huu-
dred, and there is every reason to beiive that
they are as hoslilo as at any peri<>d of the late
Creek war. A family came into town last eve-
uing, who had tied from alarm, sia ing that the
Indians appeared numerous in the neighborhood
where they had lived—that they were constant
ly whooping and shouting ariiuud their dwelling
and gave every demons!ration of hostility—as
we sta'ed a fortnight since, there are about four

Sir—It affords me pleasure to testify tn tho very correct
and satisfactory manner »n w hich the two yonng geuilemai^
from your school have conducted lfo*nj^eljVes during ths
time they have been in the service, and tfe* ability man»- %
fested by the prompt and skilful disc harge of tjjfin aeveni^
duties, is alike ccedimbfe fo liieni and the character of tlm
institution m which they were insirucied
The hooks comprised iu your course of- studies are ap
propriate anil well selected. 1 am prosed to hear that Vo|M»-
grapliicnl ami architectural drawing is to form n part of
your future courae. This is un elegant aceonipIishnKfit to
an engineer, and in the early part of his career will fr*.
quemly bring him into notice arid hasten Jtin promotion lo
