r»T. llrawa n ad Ike Bank*. [tied furiously along; beauty spread herself, and
We lay before our readers to^ay the proclamation shirt collars caved: fuss and feathers—cravats
of Gov. Ilrown, publishing the names of the delin
quent Banks in this State, and notifying thoTreas-
u rt r that the bills of these banks will not be re.
ccived at the Treasury in payment of any debt
due the State.
The action of the Governor in this case furnish
es the people of the State with additional proof of
l,is unflinching firmness in the discharge of his
duty, and of his determination to execute the law
at all hazards.
He is discharging a plain duty in obedience to
the express requirements of the statutes of this
State. While he seeks to do the banks no injus
tice, be is carrying out bis purposes as announced
in bis Veto Message, and approved by the people
of, ry v here, that the richest corporation in the
State shall obey the law as promptly and implicit
ly as the humblest citizen, or be made
to feel its power. While we highly applaud the
course of the Governor, we very much regret the
illegal and obstinate course of the Banks, and the
false position in which they have attempted to
place their friends; who, in the last legislature, in
good fai tli no doubt, passed the art legalizing
suspension, and imposing certain restrictions on
the banks in future on the subject of usury and
exchange. They also made it the duty of tho
bank officers by express provision of the statute, in
their iiunual and semi annual returns, to swear that
they have not violated tho provisions of the act in
any particular. Gov. Brown believing the statute
taken as a whole to he unwise, and that section of
it which legalized the suspension to he unconsti
tutional, vetoed it. The friends of the hanks in
the Legislature passed it over the Veto. This
caused great rejoicing among the hanks. Tiiey
took the benefits of the act as long as they needed
them. The Governor now calls upon them to
comply with the requirements of the same act for
the veiV period of time while they have had its
benefits, and they utterly refuse.
In a word they set the law at open defiance (he
first moment that it comes in conflict with their in
terest. Wo predict they will receive hut little sym
pathy in the next legislature from those friends
whose confidence they have so grossly abused.—
They now stand in open defiance of a law passed
by iheir friends who will doubtless condemn their
course iu the most unqualified terms and will sus
tain the Governor. We see no other course left
the members of the legislature who passed the bill
hut to sustain the Governor in its execution
and condemn the hanks for its violation. These
remarks apply with less force to those hanks which
did not suspend, and we regret that the statute did
not make such exception in their favor as to ena
ble the Governor to draw a broad lino of distinc
tion between them. Such however is not the
case.
Nor do our remarks apply to those banks which
have complied with the law, and made their re
turns as directed by the statute. The following
banks have complied with the law and made their
returns as required:
The Central Rail Road and Banking Co.
TheGa., Rail Road and Banking Co.
The Bank of Savannah
The Bank of Augusta.
The Bank of Fulton. .
The Bank of Athens. '
The Manufacturer’s Bank at Macon.
The North Western Bank at Ringgold .
There will bo no difficulty therefore about the
collection of the taxes and other public dues, as
the bills of these four first class banks of Augus
ta and Savannah are in general circulation among
the people, to say nothing of the other banks
which have complied.
If the delinquent banks would pardon a word of
advice we would say, obey the law, do not take
usury; and be prepared to respond to the next
call made by the Governor. Should you deter
mine otherwise and continue to violate the law,
you will doubtless continue to suffer its penalties;
which may be increased by future legislation if
those now in force are found to be insufficient to
enforce obedience.

Oil Monday evening the 19th inst., the largest
and most brilliant audience which has ever assem
bled in the same place, on a similar occasion, filled
everv in ok andcorner of the spacious and beauti
ful chapel, to witness the exercises of a portion of
the Sophomore Class, in Declamation. Out of a
class num-bering twenty-three only twelve entered
the arena. The following was the Programme:

There was no difficulty in deciding upon which
of the youthful gladiators the palm of excellence
should ho bestowed; Mr. A. Porteus Miller of
Charleston, S. C., ran far ahead of his competi
tors and gallantly won the First Prize. His man
ner, gesture, enunciation, voice, were all admira
hie ; and if he does not some day subdue multi
tudes by his Oratory, the fault will be his own-
nature lias done lunch for him—individual effort
must harmonize and apply the material.
As one of the Judges on the occasion, we must
say, that the contest for the second prize was spir
ited and most difficult to decide. There were
Flournoy, Kino, Hardeman, Roberts and
Kendrick—all good speakers, and all deserving
and crinoline—were the order of the Day. Thi
chapel groaned under the affliction of this heavy
respousihilty. Never have we seen a larger or
more brilliant assemblage of modest maids and
gallant gentlemen, gathered under the wings of
our F air Mother. Out of a class of twenty-seven
only ten appeared. The following was the
Order ®f Exercises.
Prayer—Music.

Address to the Sophomore Declaimers and De
livery of Prizes by Hoir. E. A. Nisbeti
Music.
Address to the Thalian and Phi Delta Societies,
by Hon. Hiram Warner.
Benediction—Music.
We are compelled to cut short our accoust of
these exercises, owing to the large space occupied
by other important matter. To he candid, we must
confess that iu our opinion the orations of the
graduating class were not equal, with a few ex
ceptions, either in composition or delivery, to
those of the Juniors’ the day before, “I he A1
.‘Highly Dollar” elicited repeated and loud applause
from Young America in the Galleries, and showers
of hoquets from young ladies near the stage. Our
young friend Little was particularly severe on
newspapers for puffing quack medicines—he must
have been a sufferer from some nostrum—perhaps
a vermifuge ! After the Valedictory and the con
ferring of degrees, there was a recess of half an
hour. This over, the wearied audience were re
galed with a treat from Judge Nisbet in the shape
of a short address to the Sophomore Prize De-
claimers, on the subject of Oratory. The elo
quence of the speakei was not like the mountain
cataract or the thundering avalanche, hut like
the smooth and placid Rhine. We hope to have
the pleasure of reproducing this neat and tasteful
address in our columns.
After the Prizes were delivered to the success
ful declaimers, the Orator of tho Day, Judge
Warner, arose and addressed the audience. Al
though the patience of the house had been sore
ly tried by the great length of the preceding ex
ercises ; and notwithstanding it was after J o’clock
when he began, a large portion of the immense
audience remained to hear him. The address
abounded in wholesome and practical hints to
young men for their future guidance in life. The
address was indeed an able one; such as the pub
lic might have confidently expected from the au
thor ; and as it will, doubtless, appear before the
public in a shape to be read and known of all, we
refrain from further comment upon it.
The assemblage on this day was unusaily large.
Hundreds could not get within the.chapel, but re
tired to some shady retreat near by to spend the
hours as best they could. In closing this hastily
prepared and imperfect sketch, we will only add a
word ill behalf of the Milledgeville Brass Band.
Composed of young men from our town we know
them and their merits well; they deserve what
they will receive, wherever they go, kindness anJ
encouragement from the public.
A IVlitinouK-r.
A correspondent of the Constitutionalist who
signs himself •* Impartial,” has lately written a
uutnher of articles on the Bank question, which
are now being copied into the Savannah Repub
lican, and probably other Bank organs, that are
about as impartial as the author of the articles
referred to.
The articles are written in better temper than
many which we have seen, and in better temper
than the author himself was able to command, if
we do not mistake the style, when he wrote the
articles signed ‘‘Richmond.” No one can, how
ever, be deceived by these new productions of this
bank champion. So far front being “impartial”
the whole affair is intended as an ingenious assault
upon the Governor, under pretence of fairness, and
is very partial to the Banks. The thing is too
plain to need comment. The people will not be
deceived by it.
Editorial Correspondence of the Uederal
Villon.
Providence, R. I., July 19, 1858.
My last communication was from Newport, since
then we have visited Rocky Point, Portsmouth
Grove. Warren, Bristol, See. Ac. Rocky Poin !
and Portsmouth Grove are delightful watering
places on Naragansett Bay. The former is abou :
half way from Providence to Newport. Here, in
warm weather, hundreds, and some times thous
ands, of people resort to enjoy sea bathing and cool
air; and amidst groves and grottoes, and craggy
rocks, they feast on lobsters, clams, and fish of
various names, served up to suit the taste of the
visitors. We have seldom sent a more delightful
place in which to spend a hot day than Rocky
Point. Many families from Providence, and the
surrounding country, spend several weeks of the
summer at this place and its vicinity. Here, hoys
and girls ‘just let loose from school” enjoy the
live-long day, in boat riding, fishing, bathing and
romping among the groves and rocks. Here, also
Students, and Misses of maturer years, walk and
ride, bathe and swing, and carry on flirtations.
Every one here seems bent upon making most of
their time, and enjoying themselves as much as
possible,and we should think they succeeded to
admiration. Warren and Bristol are small cities
of four or five thousand inhabitants each. They
are pleasantly situated on Naragansett Bay-, and
have considerable commerce, and diversity of
manufactures. They are also both engaged in
the Whaling business. At Warren we went on
hoard a large whaling ship, nearly ready to sail on
a three years voyage to the North Pacific Ocean,
in pursuit of whales. The ships engaged in the
whaling business are built very strong and sub
stantial, and their crew and all their rigging and
stores are of the best material, consequently it is
some special mark of distinction but all could | ver „ expensive fitting out a whaling ship.

not be accommodated. The Committee decided
that Messrs. Flournoy of Ga , and Slaughter
of Ala., should divide the honor of the second
prize. This award we are pleased to say, gave
entire satisfaction to the committee, and was doubt
less right and proper.
Tuesday—Junior Exhibition.
At an early hour the chapel was filled with the
beauty, fashion and intelligence of Milledgeville,
Midway and vicinity, to witness the exercises set
apart for this day. The following was the Pro
gramme of the exhibiiion:
ORDER OF EXERCISES.
Prayer by the President.— Music.
Dowse Brad wel 1—Marion —Music.
J. D. Brown—Worth of Liberty —Music.
Edw’d M. Green—Oliver Cromwell.—Music.
W. A. Wilson—American Scholar.—Music.
Geo. W. Ladson—“Vis consilii expers mole ruit

J. G. Lam—Chistianity essential to National
Prosperity.—Music.

W. C. Dawson Seymour—‘No rose without a
thorn.”—Music.
Win. W. Spencer—Power of Association. —
Music
vW. P. Johnson—Fanaticism.
Music—Benediction —Music.
Most of the pieces were well written and well
delivered; and, taken as a whole, the exercises]
were very creditable to the class. Our young
friend Lanier gave “The Press” some hard rubs;
but when he gets a little older, he will find that
great Reformations, such as he proposed, are not
accomplished iu a day. or a year ; and that they
do not often receive llieir first impulse from the
virgin efforts of College boys. The speeches of
Messrs Lane and Newell were highly credi
table. The last speaker, W. P. Johnson, held
tlie audience s[iell bound for ten or fifteen minutes,
by the power of his eloquence, and the beauty
and fertility of thought which shone and glittered
iu every liue ol his address.
fonunrnrement Day.
Old Sol, whose rays had beeu getting more
pointed and penetrative for several days, now
gathered them all together, and poured them down
npoti the earth on \\ ednesday last, as if he never
expected to shine again. But Sol, nor dust, nor
anything, could xeep hack the crowd that annual
ly fills the chapel at Oglethorpe on Commence
ment Day. The sun shone, the du*t crept lazily
and heavily up—vehicles of every description rat-
Bristol is near Mount Hope, tho ancient resi
dence of the famous King Phillip, an Indian chief
tain and warrior, that in the early settlement of
New England, for many yeais waged war against
the combined forces of the colonies of Connecti
cut, Plymouth, and Massachusetts bay. He was
wise in counci], brave in action, and foresaw the
certain destruction of his race, if the whites were
left to get a foot hold iu the country. If he had
had a faithful historian to record all of his exploits
Lrp would have been enrolled among the
hid*** and patriots of his race. Since one return
to Providence, we have visited Brown University.
It is one of the oldest, and we believe, is general
ly considered, one of the best Colleges in New
England. In August 1855, Dr. Waylaad, who had
been President of the College for more than twen
ty eight years, on account of his age and infirmi
ties, resigned his oflice of President and Professor
of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy, and the
corporation, after accepting his resignation, pr o-
ceeded to elect the Rev, Bamas Sears , D. I)., Pres,
ident of the University, and Professor of Moral
and Intellectual Philosophy. Dr, Sears is now
President, assisted by nine professors. The Col
lege is liberally endowed, and has a well selected
library of over thirty thousand volumes, with a
permameut fund of twenty thousand dollars, the
interest of which is appropriated for its yearly in
crease. The present number of students is 205,
nd the condition of the university is highly pros
perous. The revival in religion is siill progressing,
and deepens, and widens as it progresses: it is won
derful. A considerable number of the young men
of Providence who have lately been converted,
visit the churches in the country around the city,
several nights each week, and hold prayer meet
ings with them. We have been present at some
of these meetings,and were deeply impressed with
the solemnity that seemed to pervade them. We
have seen nothing of tho rant and confusion that
sometimes attend revivals, but a deep feeling, an
awful solemnity, is the prevailing characteristic of
this Revival. We expect to go to Boston to-mor
row, and our next communication will probably
bo from that renowned seat of learning and fanati
cism. _ B.

Liverpool Cotton Market.—Sales of Cotton for
three days, 15,000 bales, of which speculators and
exporters took 1,000 bales each, leaving to the
trade 13,000 bales. The market declined at id.,
hut the principal decline was in the lower grades,
and all qualities closed dull.
State of 'trade.—Manchester advices are unfa
vorable—there was little inquiry; and prices were
weak.
Liverpool bread.stuffs market.—Tho circulars re
port business dull.
London m mey market.—The money market is
unchanged. Consuls quoted at 95J.
Liverpool naval stores.—Rosin and Spirits of
Turpentine were reported steady.
General Netcs.
The steamship Agamemon, engaged in attempt
ing to lay the Atlantic cable, had returned to
Queenstown.
It had been determined by the Atlantic Tele
graph Company, that the fleet should start out
again on the 17th of June iu another attempt to
lay the submarine cable.
It was reported that tin- Maliomedans had nias-
saccredat Juddah about twenty Christians, inclu
ding the English and French Consuls. Three
British men-of-war have been ordered there.
Rust in Cotton.—The rust or blight commenced
iu several spots in my best cotton in June. The
plants (hopped their leaves and about three-fourths
of them died to the root. These plague spots have
continued to enlarge until many acres are now
ruined and if it continues my entire crop will be
soon out off. I have seen like appearance in one
cotton field in Barnwell, and have heard several
persons complaining in Edgefield. It is thought
to be the same species of blight which proved so-
disasti uus to the oat crop, it is said to be upon the
grass in the pastures, and is supposed to be the
cause of the pestilence among our cattle.
A CITIZEN.

The first white man born in Kentucky is still
living, and is residing in that State. Hit name is
Enocli Boone, a nephew of the great pioner, Dan’l
Boone. His farm is on the Ohio river, above the
mouth of Salt river. He was born shortly after
Col. Boone s second expedition to Kentucky, and
is consequently greatly advanced in years, but is
hale and hearty, and very cheerful, and is fond of
relating the thrilling scenes which he witnessed
during his early days of the ‘dark and bloody
ground.’ He is said to resemble, in a striking de
gree, his renowned uncle, both in form and features.
We are pleased this week to announce, says the
Chattanooga Gazette, that the Tunnel on the Cleve
land and Chattanooga Branch Road has been
“bored through,” and that the “underground”
track will soon he ready to connect with the

Up to the present time there have been landed in

Cholera among Hogs in Wilkinson and Laurens
Counties.
Editors Federal Union.—There has been the
greatest destruction among hogs I ever heard of
in my life, some farmers has lost all their hogs,
some, all but a few. I heard of a farmer on Rocky
Creek Laurens county who lost 80 head of hogs
in 3 days. If the disease don’t cease it is thought
it will hardly leave stock hogs. Also the cattle
has some kind of a disease that is killing them
them very fast.

A PROCLAMATION.
By JOSEPH E. BROWN, Governor of Georgia.
W HEREAS, the Legislature of this Stab’, on
the 24th day of December, 1832, passed an
act entitled “An Act more effectually to secure
tlie solvency of all the hanking institutions iu
this State,” the preamble of which act is iu these
words, “Whereas, the enormous amount of bank
ing capital chartered by the laws of this State,
and her circulating cuirencv being composed al
most entirely of the bills of iter own banks; and
whereas, the saffcty and best interest of our citi
zeus require that the true condition and solreacy of
each hank or incorporate company, exercising
banking privileges, should be known la the com
munity, so as to guard the great body of the people
from receiving a depreciated or doubtful paper, and
tor remedy whereof.” The first and second sec
tions then direct how the returns of each
incorporate bank in this State are to be made, and
the penalty for a failure to make such returns is
prescribed iu the third section, which is iu these
words, “Should the president and directors ot any
one or more of the aforesaid hanks, fail to comply
with the spirit and true meaning of tiiis act. it
shall he the duty of his Excellency tlie Governor,
for the time being, to notify the Treasurer of this
State, and tlie president and directors of the Cen
tral Bank, of said delinquent bank or banks.
whereupon it shall not be lawful to receive the bills
o any such delinquent bank or banks, m paymew
at any d bt due the State of Georgia, or the Central
Bank, until the President and Directors of such
delinquent bank or banks, shall have made such
returns as are required by this act.” And the
fourth section declares that, "It shall he the duty
of his Excellency the Governor, fertile time being,
to publish the name or names of any bank or
banks, which may fail to comply with all the re
quisitions of tiiis act, in all the newspapers printed
in Milledgeville, as often as lie may think expe
dient for tlie public good.”
And whereas, the second section of an act as
sented to the 28d day of December, 1843, entitled
‘An Act amendatory of the act providing for the pub
lication of the Bank Reports,’ is in these words,
“ l lie bills of any bank failing to publish its re
turn as aforesaid, within thirty days after making
the same, shall not be reeeiced in payment of Taxes,
or at tlie Treasury of the Slate.’’
And whereas, the act approved 21st February,
1850, entitled “An Act to change, point out and
regulate the manner in which the returns of the
several banking institutions of tiiis State shall
hereafter be made,” enacts as follows, to-w it:
Section 1st. “Re it enacted, That after the pas
sage of tiiis act, his Excellency the Governor of
the State shall twice in each and every year re
quire, by public advertisement for at least two
weeks, in a gazette printed at the seat of Govern
ment, each and every bank and hanking institution
in t his State to make a ju t ami true return under the
oaths or affirmation of its President and Cashier,
of tlie state and condition of such bank or bank
ing institution, with the names of its President
and Directors, and a list of its stockholders, on
the day of the regular weekly meeting of the
l'rcsideutand Directors thereof, next preceding
the date of such requisition by tlie Governor; and
it shall be the duty of each and every bank or
banking institution, within tliiity days after the
date of such call by the Governor, and under the
peaal'y nuw prescribed laj law for a failure to make
returns, to make and transmit to the Governor
such return so required in lieu and stead of tlie
return heretofore required.”
Section 2nd. “In the respective returns required
by the preceding section, the good, had and doubt- J
ful debts ot said hank or banking institution. j
respectively, shall be set forth as now required by
l.nv.’'
Section 3d. “When any hank or banking insti
tution shall make the return required by this act,
tiie same shall bo published by such corporation
within the time, under the penalties, and in the
manner prescribed Gy existing laws, publishing
th ■ list of stockholders once a year only.”
And whereas, in October last, most of the hanks
of this State, in violation of their contracts with
1 ’.io people and in violation of their charters, sus
pended specie payment, and refused to comply with
their solemn engagements to redeem their lulls in
specie on demand or presentation, thereby subject
ing themselves, under existing laws, to judicial
proceedings to be institued by order of tlie Govern
or. on due proof thereof, to the end that their char
ters might be declared as forfeited and annulled-
And whereas, the legislature of this State, for
the purpose of relieving those suspended banks
which had subjected themselves to the penalities
of the act of 1840, from the heavy penalties they
had incurred, and from the forfeiture of their char
ters, and for the purpose of prohibiting thereafter
the usurious practices of all or any of the banks of
this State—as well the specie paying as the sus
pended—and for the purpose of amending the law
of bank returns so as to require of hank officers
tiie guaranty of an oath that these practices are
not indulged in, passed an act on the 22nd day of
December, 1857, entitled “an Act to provide a-
gainst the forfeiture of the several Bank Charters
in tiiis State on account of non-specie payment for
a given time, a ml for other purposes therein named,■“
the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh sections of
which are covered by the tatter clause of its cap
tion, being subject iu their binding force ti no lim
itation as to time, and are in the words following,
to-wit:
“Sec. VIII. Br it further enacted, That no bank,
nor bank agency, by itself (Us) officers or agents.
slmll either directly or indirectly loan money on
any note, bill, dratt or contract of any sort, verbal
or written, at a greater rate of interest than at the
rate of seven per cent, per annum, and only at
that rate for a longer or a shorter time ; and all
notes, bills, drafts and contracts of every sort
wiiatever, on which a greater rate of interest is re
served or exacted and received or bargained for,
are hereby declared to be utterly void and of no
effect, and irrecoverable in law.”.
“Sec. IX. And be i further enacted, That no
bank nor bank agency shall, by itself, its officers,
or agents, discount or purchase notes, papers, or
evidences of debt, made for a valuable considera
tion, ora good consideration, between the parties
thereto, at a greater discount than at th: rate of
seven per centum per annum, and that all such
notes, papers and evidences of debt, discounted or
purchas 'd in violation of this Act, shall, from the
time of such purchase, become utterly null and
void and irrecoverable in law.”
“Sec X. That no bank or bank agency, by it
self. its officers, or agents, shall either directly or
indirectly sell any kind of exchange, except sight
checks, nor exact, demand, ask oi receive for ex
change in or out of this State, of any citizen of
ties State, a greater premium than one per centum,
on the amount of exchange sold, when the bills
of the bank from which the exchange is sought to
ho obtained, are presented at its counter in pay
ment of said exchange, and for the violation of
this section of tiiis Act, the persou paying the pre
mium, his agent or attorney may, and he is here
by authorized to recover three times the amount
of the excess by a summary proceeding, before a
Justice of the Peace, the inferior or Superior
Court, as tlie one or the other CourtTnay have ju-
risdictiou, and on which judgment shall bo ren
dered at the first term of the Court, nnless the
principles of justice shall require a postponement
for one term, and no longer; and in which case
tlie officer or agent who received the premium
sh ill appear, without any other process than the
service of the writ, and give evidence in the case;
and if be fail to appear, the affidavit or evidence
of the plaintiff shall be received in proof of the
amount demanded and the suit shall be against
either the bank whose agent loaned the money, or
against the agent, and iu either event, the proper
ty of the bank shall be subject to the payment of
the judgment: Provided, That nothing herein
contained shall have any reference to foreign ex
change, and provided further, tiie person applying
for the exchange shall, if required, make oath that
it is not to resell as exchange.”
“Sec. XI. The affidavit of lank officers to th< ir
annual and semi-annual reports shall tn all eases
state that tho bank of which they are officers has
not by itself, its officers, or agmts, in any particular,
violated the provisions of this Act.”
Which said last mentioned section of said act
effff rafts another section upon tlie law of bank re
turns, as it exist' d when this act was passed ; and
as the said eleventh section n lates to the same sub
ject matter—that of bank returns-'it is to be con
strued with, and in reference to all previous legis
lation then in force on that subject, by a well
known rule of construction, that statutes in pari
materia, are to be construed together as hut one
law. Wherefore, a bank failing to comply with
“the spirit and true meaning of said act,” incurs
the penalties prescribed in case of a delinquent
hank.
And whereas, on the first day of June last, I is
sued my proclamation which was published as di
rected by the statute, requiring tlie several banks
in this State to make their returns as required by
Livy and to comply with the provisions of the said
eleventh section of the said act of le57; and where
as. more than thirty days have elapsed since said
call was made, as required by law, upou said
banks; and whereas.
The Bank of the State of Georgia,
The Planters’ Bank of tlie State of Georgia, at
Savannah,
The Commercial Bank of Brunswick,
The Cherokee Insurance and Banking Company,
at Dai ton.
The I-aGrange Bank,
The Bank of Commerce, at Savannah,

The Planters and Mechanics’ Bank of Dalton,
The Bank of Greensborough,
The Timber Cutter’s Bank, at Savannah,
The Exchange Bank of the State of Georgia,
at Griffin, and
The Mechanic’s Bank, at Augusta,
have wholly neglected and refused to make their
returns as required by the positive mandate of the
statute of 1857, (the benefits of which in the pro
tection of their charters from forfeiture have been
realized by such of the above mentioned batiks as
were lately in a state of suspension.) and have
utterly disregarded the will of the legislature, set
and
themselves above the authority of the law
stand in open violation of its commands |
I do, therefore issue this my Proclamation, pub-j
lishing as directed by the statute, the names ofl
the before mentioned delinquent banks. And I doH
hereby notify the Treasurer of this State of said |
delinquent banks; and I do moreover proclaim)
and make known that the hills of said delinquent
banks will not be received at the Treasury ot this
State in payment of any debt due the State of
Georgia, or the Central Bank, until the President
and Cashier of each of said delinquent banks re
spectively. shall have complied with the law, and
shall have made such return as the statutes require.

Administrator's Sale.
THE well known plantation, be
longing to the estate of the late Col.
Wm. Toney deceased will be sold
by order of Court at Fort Gaines.
Clay Co. Ga-, on First monday in November next.
This Plantation lies on Chattahoochee River,
five miles above Fort Gaines the western terminus
of the S. YV. Rail Road, and on the road from the
latter place to Eufaula, on which a daily stage
passes; it has tine improvements to-wit—a new
two story dwelling house, large and commodious;
with seven rooms,all ceiled and painted with brick
chimneys to six rooms, a new gin house and new
cotton screw, and framed negro honses, all new
and complete. The house lot and negro houses
are well watered and so is every field on the plan
tation; with a good garden and orchards of apples
pears, peaches &c., attached. There is about 800
acres of corn and cotton laud in cultivation, all
nearly dead level, whose productive quality can
be judged from the fact well authenticated that 30
hands have actually cleaied $63,000 from 1850 to
1857, from the sales of six crops of com and cotton
made on the place, and this too over and above all
plantation expenses.
This Plantation lies on the Georgia side of the
Chattahoochee, opposite Col. Archibald McKays,
and contains about 1200 acres of land more or
less, and will be sold on the usual favorable cred
its of land sales, all to be specially declared oa the
day of sale.
i8outh-westcrn Georgia is the cotton growingre-
sion proper, and as these river plantations sell at
10 to $15 per acre, an opportunity will now be of
fered to the public to buy a large open plantation
in a high state of cultivation at a very moderate
price, and on easv and accommodating terms.
