foreign Baok igenriw and Governor Brown.
>R editor.—Tin'editor of the Savannah Repnb-
,in seems to he considerably “exercised'’ in re-
to Gov. Brown and the Batiks. After hav-
inc exterminated the Governor—in a horn! upon
the subject of his veto of the Bank bill; the editor
has no« turned upon the Governor for also ve
toing the bill to drive all Foreign Bank Agencies
from the State.
In this last tilt of the Republican, I am sorry to
(j n J you a sympathiser, as 1 cannot but think you
a ,v both wrong in this as the Republican has been
nwst thoroughly wrong on the tirst point.
I believe it has always been considered sound
policy in all communities to invite capital among
them", and to keep it among them rather than drive
it sway I Even in prosperous times it is quite
acceptable, and in “tight times” no one desires
to see it go away, or be driven away, save those
w ho have capital themselves, and who hope when
oilier capital is driven away to obtain control of
the community, and to dictate their own terms.
J. not this »!! true? And if so I do not see how
v u, or the editor of the Republican, or §ny oue else
can object to Gov. Brown’s veto of the Foreign
Agency bill unless you own stock in some of the
Georgia Banks and desire that the interests of otb-
f. r? .-mould suffer, that this Bank stock may be en
hanced in value
Now what is the true state of the ease. The State
of Georgia, acting upon the sound policy of invi
ting Foicigu capital within her limits has for
many years past, permitted the Banks of other
Mates to have Agencies in this state. The Rep-
r sentatives of ihe people not only on several
occasions within the past few years refused to
tiiive them from the Stale, when bills were intro
duced for such a purpose, hut rather invited this
kind of capital into the State retiming to tax it
higher than the Bank capital of our own State.
Under these circumstances then these Foreign
i or South CarolinaJ Bank Agencies, have been
established in various parts of the State. They
have been located where capital was needed to buy
up and ship to market the produce of the country
and w hen our hanks weald not furnish it. While
our Banks perhaps were using their capital ill

lion. I..Q.C. Limar’a .Speech.
This is one of the few political speeches made in
Congress that will bear close reading. It is said
to have been well delivered and listened to with
marked attention, a very unnsual thing in the
House of Representatives. Mississippi lias just
cause to be proud of her adopted son, an! Georgia
points to him as one of her jewels lost to her in
the person, hut present in pride and patriotism.
The 'Ilinil of February.
Notwithstanding a heavy rain fell most of the
parts of the State, South Garoltua money was
and is, about the only good currency the pecple
have.
Now under these circnnistances—and taking
ro consideration the past policy of the lawmakers
of die State in tnus inviting this capital among us
and in thus having these Agencies among us, Ac.
Ac, I would most respectfully ask you or any
other fair and unprejueiced man where would there
have been any justice or anything like fair play
towards those communities wiiere these Foreign
Bank Agencies have been located, to have closed
them up ir.stanter (as the bill iutended) in the
month ot December or January last, or during the
■•hard” and “tight” times we have all been expe
riencing for several months past/ Who would it
have benefitted? No one or nobody, except the
Georgia suspended Banks These Georgia sus
pended Banks after a while would have got a lar
ger circulation where these Agencies are located,
had they been driven from the Stale, and their
hills withdrawn from circulation, but these Geor
gia suspended bank hills would have been no bet
ter currency than the bills of these South Caroli
na banks, and not as good as some of the latter for
they pay specie. Then, who else would have been
benefitted? Not those who had cotton, corn, or
other produce for sale, for as this currency w as
driven out, and the facility of raising means
buy their produce, had been destroyed, there
would have been less money, &c., and their pro
duce would have fallen in price, Ac., and tfiey
would have had to sell at this reduced price or not
sell at all. Nor would tlie country merchant have
been benefitted for he could neither sell his goods,
or collect his dehts.uuder such a state of thin
Then, so far as my version extends, the Geoigia
suspended hanks would alone have been benelit-
ted And, I repeat again, as this Foreign Bank
currency and in some case specie paying Bank cur-
n ifcy was driven out they would only have sup
plied its place with their suspended hank bilis.
But this is not all. While they would have fur
nished the people, with no better currency, and in
tome cases not as good as they have in these South
Carolina bank bills, still the Georgia suspended
batiks would have had the whole field of banking
and circulating to themselves, and having no com
petition, they and their Agents, would have had
full power to put up or put dow n produce, as their
interest might have desired. This would have
been “fun" for the Georgia banks, but “death” to
a large number of the people in upper and Western
Georgia. And I would again ask, under all these
circumstances, then, would it not have been very
hard and uujust upon interior and upper Georgia,
where these Agencies are, and where their past
benefits have been felt, to have suffered such a bill
as the Governor vetoed to become a law, during
our past and present trial of hard times, and when
we wanted and still want al! the capital among us
that we have heretofore had!
New, had the Georgia hanks continued to pay
specie, or had they been made to resume in Janu
ary, it might have been well enough to have driv
en all the Agencies of the suspended Mouth Caroli
na banks from the State. And Gov. Brown inti
mates in bis veto, that he would have signed this
Foreign Agency bill had our Banks been paying
specie for their bills. But, would it not have been
bad policy, even in tbis case, aud hard and unjust
towards a respectable portion of our people, to
have at this time, and during our present pressure,
driven the specie paying bank agencies, and for
instance as the Charlston bank agencies, from the
State, after having by our own laws in more pros
perous times, “invited” their currency in, and got
our people acccstomed to, indebted to, interested
in, and somewhat dependent upon them? 1 think
so. And Mr. Editor, 1 am under the impression
tiut if you and others will again glance over the
past,and view this subject in all its bearings, you
will agree with me, when I say, I think Governor
Brown did right in also vetoing the Foreign agen
cy bill. And, that, as the Legislature refused to
make tlm Georgia banks resume specie payments
and decided, for the present, that we should have
suspended bank bills for our currency, the Uov-
i nor did right in permitting a “fair competition"
in tliis kind of banking between the Georgia and
South Carolina banks. But Mr. Editor, the Geor-
pi banks can very easily themselves get rid of
tliis competition in their business and in furnish
ing the currency for Georgia, if they will only re
turn to tlmir duty? They could have done more in
December or January, and can do more now, to
drive these South Carolina bank agencies and
l ank bills from the State, than any law the Legis
lature could have passed, or the Governor could
have signed. Had they resumed specie payments
in December or January, these agencies whose
mother hanks did not pay specie on demand, would
have ceased doing business in this State at once,
mid their hills would have long since been driven
! oin the Stab'. And at this time if our banks will
"nly resume specie payments, these agencies of
non-specie paying banks, and their bank bills, will
- oi have to seek a different tield lor operation and
< "illation, for the people of Georgia w ould, in that
• tit. have no use tor them. If then, the Savan
nah Republican, and others, are not verily carp-
■ or hunting up something tc abuse the Govern
or tor, and. if they really want to see these South
1 -r.iiina agencies and bank hills driven from the
St; ite, I would suggest, “that instead of “crying!’
tiger ‘over spilt milk,’ it would be better now to
‘urn their batteries in the right direction, and to
' pitch into the hanks.” In that event, they w ill
have no more from Fair Flay.
Thr Baron Barbel.
There is much excitement in the Bacon market,
tud for the li st week prices have gone up at a rate,
in some of our Western markets, that surpasses
our comprehension, in view of the large excess of
i "gs slaughtered this season over last, in thepriu-
c. al packing cities. We can account for it in no
■ iher hypothesis than that speculators have corabin-
• i to run up prices in order to create a panic at the
‘‘south, aud thus get off enough of their bacon,
J-lnle prices are up, to pay for the losses they
■ now they must susta in by reason of the large
supplies that are on hand, if the summer catches
““ in with it. In almost all the largo packing
'""ns the increase this year lias been from twen-
’ytive in thirty-three per eect. as reported upon the
mo-' reliable authority, while only in a few of the
’uialler towns inis there been any falling off at all
r nun the be
though the Sun were shining brightly. It was a
very creditable turn out, albeit many of their
plumes resembled a frizzly chicken after a heavy
shower, and their pants were nearly ruined.

ITliui dor* the Mouth Gain?
“Every one well knows that so lnug as Kansas
remains a Territory, slavery must remain there.
The rebellious portion of Kansas know very well
that as soon as their territorial condition shall bo
superseded by a State government, they can alter,
amend or abolish the constitution, according to the
usual forms of law, just as soon as a majority of
the people choose to do it.
This will he the result as soon as Kansas is ad
mitted under the Lecompton constitution, and the
the South, therefore, by voting for the admission
of Kansas, will make free what is now slave
territory, and he instrumental in sending to the
United States Senate two Black Republican Sen
ators—in ail probability Jim Lane aud Gov. Rob
inson.
What does the South gain by such a transaction?”
We clip the above article from the States, a dem
ocratic paper, published at Washington city, which
occupies one corner of the Auti-Lecomptou trian
gle, Senator Douglas aud Gov. Wise occupying
the other two respectively. The Stales, we be
lieve, is the only democratic paper at the South,
which has lollowed Douglas aud Wise in their de
sertion from the Democratic policy touching the
admission ol Kansas under the Lecomptou Con
stitution. 1 he States fiuds itself in had company
at this lime, and it may well seek for some pretext
to palliate its conduct in deserting the South.
It now tells the South, slavery will exist in Kan
sas so iong as it is a Territory, but will be exclud
ed very soon, if it is admitted as a State; therefore,
it argues, the South ought not to desire the admis
sion of Kansas as a State. The States ifisults the
intelligence of its Southern readers, when it pre
sumes to humbug them with the husks, after feed
ing the Black Republicans with the corn. The
South never desired Kansas to be made a slave
State against the wishes of her citizens. They on
ly asked for the observance of a great principle,
and the application of the requirements of the
Federal Constitution to Kansas, knocking for ad
mittance into the Union. The South does not ex
pect to see the equilibrium between the two sec
tions, maintained in Congress She does not de
pend on numercial strength, for the protection ot
her rights or the vindication of her wrongs.
When that day arrives which witnesses the South
debarred her rights, as an equal under the great
compact of Union, it matters not whether she has
one Senator or fifty in Congress—the day, and the
hour, will have arrived, for her people to quit a
government which cannot protect them. If the
people of Kansas wish Jim Lane and Robinson to
to represent them in the Senate, it’s none ol our
business. No more our business than it is the
business of the States to go between the people of
Kansas and tho solemn acts of their representa
tives, and by its pragmatic interference help to
perpetuate the bad feeling and rebellion already too
prevalent in the Territory.
Wh at the South wants is quiet—an end to this
protracted and embittered struggle over “bleeding
Kansas.” The people have been thoroughly bled
in pocket and patieuee. Their forbearance is ex'
hausted. The Sta cs we suspect owes its feeling
against the Lecomptou constitution, more to its
opposition to the Administration, than to its regard
for those “sliriekers” in Kansas who refused to
acknowledge the Territorial Government.
Wcilrr* Si A Humic Rail Ruud.
We give our readers below, from the Atlanta
Intelligencer the statineift of the operations of the
W. & A. R. Road, tor the month of January. 1858,
as compared with the-same month in 1357. Ow
ing, we suppose, to the money pressure and the
consequent low prices of produce, the gross incomes
of the Road for the month of January, 1858, are
$4,307 88, less than the gross income.s of Jan’y,
1857. While the working expenses of the road
have been $6,937,29 less in January. 1858 than
they were iu Jan’y, 1857. And the nett income of
the Road has been $2,659 41 more in Jan’y,
1858. than it was in Jan’y, 1857 One item in this
statement is worthy of particular attention. That
is the amount of $6,937 29 saved iu the working
expense of the Road as compared with the same
month last year. This is no small item. If the
same amount is saved each mouth, it will amount
in a year to the handsome sum of $-13,007 48.
This speaks well for the present able aud untiring
Superintendent. Dr lewis is a gentleman of
great moral worth, firmness and decision of char
acter, a first rate business uutn and an able finan
cier. We predict that he will do great honor to
himself, and very valuable service to the State in
the high position which he occupies. To accomp
lish this he has only to go ou in his present
straightforward iud -pendent course. The follow
ing is the statement, from the Intelligencer.
“We have been favored by the authorities of
the Western & Atlantic Rail Road with the fol
lowing exhibit of the earnings and expenses of the
mouth of January, 1858 as compared with the
same for January, 1857.

The Red Petlieont r». Ihe While.
Queen Victoria has the honor of originating the
Petticoat war—the red against the white. The
Ladies on this side of the water are slow to adopt
the Queen's idea. Except in a very few instan
ces, the red is either totally discarded as unbecom
ing and unfemenine, or received with much hesi
tation. 'The Boston Courier and a few other pa
pers at the North, have sided with the Queen, and
shout and fight for the supremacy of the Red. We
take the other side of the garment, and hang the
white flag on the outer wall, in token of our devo
tion to its cause. How anybody, lady or gentle
man, can think a strip of red flannel (or red any
thing else,) around a lady’s ankles, is a pretty
sight, or one suggestive of refined or beautiful
thoughts, surpasses our ken. It may becomo a
fashion, just as a hundred other things have, equal
ly horrible; and pretty ladies, and genteel ladies,
may take pleasure in displaying their little feet
under this red curtain, but our taste will have to
change very much ere. we can admit the fashion
to he refined much less beautiful. Some of the
advocates of the Red, base their support upon the
superior advantages which they say this color has
over the white, in concealing dirt'. And right there,
our objection and opposition begin. If there is a
charm about any portion of a lady’s dress, it lies
in that that is most in unison with what we like iu
her character, purity. A red petticoat may be very
clean, but who can tell when it is not? When a
lady with a most graceful movement raises the tip
ot the outer garment, and discloses a white petti
coat with filigiee fixings all ovt^ it, and a white
stocking covering the foot, ye Gods, how it makes
a fellow tremble under his waistcoat .’ Young la
dies can’t sweep the streets with such a broom,
without getting it soiled, and unfit for exhibition.
We, to speak plain,like the white petticoat because
it shows the dirt, and dislike the red because it
don’t. When the red petticoat get’s to be the rage,
the washerwomen may lay down their implements;
their occupation’s gone. There are. two portions
of God’s last best gift to man, upon which center
not only the eyes, hut the admiration of all men of
taste—we mean, the neck and the feet. And do
they ever appear so captivating as when covered
with a material of snowy whiteness and extreme
delicacy of texture. Hide them in a blood red
covering, but hide our eyes at the same time. If we
had a sweetheart, (which we have not, thank for
tune) and she had come into our presence, before
Qeen Vic liadset the fashion, with a red petticoat,
disecrnable below or beneath her frock, we should
have strongly suspected that she had been about
the slaughter house. If any of our fair friends differ
with ns on this question, we shall he pleased to
hear from them. We are not open to conviction
on ibis question, but our columns are always to
their delectable company.

Georgia. ) Superior Court, February
Rnldnin County. J Term, 1858.
The Gran 1 Jury of said county sworn, chosen,
and selected for the present Term, in concluding
their labors. Lake pleasure in stating, that there
have been but few criminal cases submitted to the
cognizance and adtion of their body, and can
therefore congratulate their fellow citizms on the
evidence thus furnished of an improvement in
public morals.
We have examined through our Committees, in-
tothe State of the Public Roads, Bridges, Build
ings and Records.
We find the Public Roads in a very bad condition,
resulting, we fear, from a gross neglect oil the
part of those whose duty it is to execute the laws
on this subject. We most earnestly recommend
to the Inferior Court a strict exercise of the author
ity witli which it is legally invested for enforcing
the laws respecting the same. We would urge
the necessity of building a bridge across Buck
Creek, near Ingram’s Ferry. Also, a bridge
across Cedar-Creek, near Napier’s Mills. YVe
report the bridge across Camp Creek, on the road
leading to Scotsboro, in a very unsafe condition,
and recommend its immediate repairs. Also, the
bridge across Fishing Creek, on the road leading
to Macon, needs immediate attention. We es
pecially recommend that the Inferior Court co
operate with the City Council in devising means
for eonstruc'ing a bridge across the Oconee River
at this place.
We find the Records of the Clerk of the Supe
rior and Inferior Courts neatly kept, and fully
brought up to the present Term of this Court, and
we tender him our high appreciation of his neat
ness and accuracy. We have also examined the
various books of the Ordinary, and with pleasure
accord to him the same commendation as we have ;
to the officer above mentioned.
We find in the hands of the Commissioners of the j
Poor School 132 Dollars,and 18 cents; all his disbars-.
ments being supported by proper vouchers. Up- l
on an examination we find the number of child- j
ren subject to the benefit of the Poor School fund, j
under the new law, to be 293; and as the fond
received from the State annually falls so very far
short of accomplishing the object for which it was 1
designed, we recommend that the Ordinary of
the county b-vy an extra tax of fifteen per cent
upon the general tax. for the purpose of augment- 1
ing the poor school fund; and that the Ordinary
still urge upon the Justices of the Peace of the
several Districts to return all such children as are
entitled (under the new law) to the benefit of
of this fund to the August Term of this Court. ;
We have examined the Books of the county
Treasurer, and find them neatly and correctly
kepr, with vouchers to correspond with his dis
bursments, leaving a balance on hand of $973 10.
We have examined the Jail and find it neatly
kept, but in great need of repairs, which we re
commend be done immediately, as we consider it
in a very unsafe condition.
We find the Court House in a very dilapidated
condition; in fact the comfort of the Court. Bar,
and Juries, and county officers, the preservation
of tin' Public Records, and th? protection of the
building, demand, in our opinion that the pres
ent roof and parapet wall, should be entirely re
moved, and replaced with a substantial roof with
out a parapet, to be covered with cypress shingles.
Economy alone requires this, as the present
roof has been, from the first, a source of expendi
ture as weil as annoyance. As a necessary con
sequence of the state of the roof. We find the
plastering in a wretchedly bad condition, especial
ly the Jury Rooms and Clerk’s office in the sec
ond story, requiring indeed its entire removal.
We recommend, and most earnestly request
that the foregoing suggestions respecting the
Court House, (which have been urged from time
to time by former Grand Juries,) and are now
re-iterated by this body, he forthwith taken into
consideration by the Inferior Court, and speedy
provisions made to carry them into effect.
We cannot take leave of his Honor Judge Har
deman without expressing our high appreciation
of the ability with which he has discharged the
arduous duties of his station. We also commend
the Solicitor General Win. A. Lofton, Esq . for
kis prompt and efficient discharge of his duties,
and tender him our thanks for his courtesy to this
body.
We request the Gazettes of this city to publish
these proceedings.

New Orleans, Feb’y 2<>lli, 1858.
Messrs. Editors : Gentlemen, you will plese di
rect my paper (which is at this time sent to
Holmesville, Appling county, Ga.) to Federicks-
burg, Gillespie C’ouuty. Texas. For I cannot
think of doing without Did Fed, if Ido live in the
Western wilds. Gillespie County is in Western
Texas some 235 miles from the Gulf. It is the
greatest stock country I have ever seen. They
haul goods from the Gulf with oxen, which takes
something near a mouth to make a trip. The
grass is so green that they haul all the winter and
never carry any feed for their oxen ; woik them
all day and turn them on the Prarie in the night.
The land is very fertile, and produces corn and
cotton extremely well. But owiug to having two
dry seasons it lias caused provisions to be, very
high. Corn is north $2.50 per bushel. It is
mountainous in Gillispie, and very healthy, with
the most beautiful mountain springs and rivulets
I have ever seen. The bottom lands are covered
with post oak, pecan, hackberry, Muskete timber,
&c., while the mountains are covered with cedar
and live cak. Game abounds to an enormous ex
tent. Very Respectfully
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, Feb, 25.—In the Senate to-day Mr.
Shields claimed a seat on the ground that Minnes-

In the House the question about the expulsion of

New Orleans, Feb. 25.—The steamship Tennes
see, Capt. Forbes, with dates from Vera Cruz to
the 21st inst., has arrived.
But little change has taken place in Mexico.—
The new government is violently opposed.
General Mejia is committing terrible outrages,
and the people of tome of the States have applied
to the Constitutional Government at Guanjuata,
for aid to operate against him.
It is reported that the States of Vera Cruz, Oija-
ca and Puebla have united and sent forth eighty -
tive thousand men, aud forty pieces of artillery
against Znloaga and his army.
Zuloaga lias issued his decree, inakingall duties
on goods imported into the country through the
ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico, payable at the
capital of Mexico; otherwise such payments will
not be recognised.

A SurrJty Party Dress.—At a “fancy dress party
in Hartford, Ct., tiio past week one lady appeared
in a dress ornamented with hundreds of little hells
not much bigger than rain drops—affording mu
sic of the fairy kind in the dance. In some of the
Eastern countries dancing women wear bells on
their ankles which tinkle in time with the music
of the dance, and, perhaps, this custom suggested
the more conspicious display of this musical orna
ment.

VtTHEREAS information has been received at
!T this Department, that on or about the 7th
instant, some unknown person or persons, did,
wilfully and maliciously, aud without authority,
turn a switch on the Western & Atlantic Rail
Road, at Alatoona—thereby causing the Uassenger
Train in part to run off the Track; and whereas
some unknown person or persons, did, on or about
the 9th instant, wilfully and maliciously obstruct
the said Road about three miles below the Tunnel,
by placing an Iron bar across the Track ; and
whereas, by the Act of the 26th December, 1845,
such offences are made highly penal—which Act
is in these words:
“Sec. 1. Be it enacted, That if any person or
persons shall willfully and maliciously destroy, or
in any manner damage, injure, or obstruct, or shal l
wilfully aud maliciously cause, or a:d and assist,
or counsel or advise any person or persons to de

the use of said Road or if any person or persons

manner interfere or meddle with any gate, switch,

at hard labor in the Penitentiary for a term of
years not less tliau seven nor more thau ten; and
if death fo any passenger or other person on said
Road shall ensue from any such act, such act or
offence shall be held and deemed to be murder,
and shall be punished accordingly.”
I have therefore, in order that the offenders may
be discovered and brought to justice, and to pre
vent the destruction of human life, and protect
the property of the State in future against the
commission of such offences, thought proper to is
sue this my Proclamation, hereby offering a re

of the counties respectively in which they were
