To Hie Excellency Wilson Lumpkin,
Sir—In compliance with the requisition of an
act of the Legislature of this State, I now have
the honor to transmit to your Excellency the en
closed statement, showing the condition of this
institution on the "first day of this month Inclu
sive. Although the credit of thcBatiks of the in
terior, and especially those yet in their infancy,
was for a short time, suspected in some sections
of the country iu consequence of tli^ late failure
of the Macon Bank, fo* a .very large amount, and
although this, in common with the other banks
of tins piece, has had divers heavy draws upon it
lor specie, yet when the enclosed return shall be
fairly examined, I trust this bank will be found
worthy of, and will receive the approbation and
confidence of the Legislature and the community.
Respectfully your Excellency’s obd’t serv’t.

To his Excellency, Wilson Lumpkin, Gov. tyc.
* Sja—-In compliance with the requisition of the
laws of this State, I havo the honor to transmit to
your Excellency a statement of the situation of
this institution on the first day of tills month.—
You will perceive that it is moro in detail than
usual. This wo conceive would bo more satis
factory to the Legislature add to the people, from
the recent lailurc of one, aud the difficulties which
Ore supposed to exist among other banks of the
State. You will perceive that the Bank of Ma
con is indebted to this institution the sum of
$15,188 28.* For this, notes on individuals who
aro perfectly good, have been transferred, suffi
cient to pay the debt. The only inconvenience
therefore, 'which may be expected to arise out of
our transactions with that bank, will be the delay
and trouble of collection.
I havo the minor to be, respectfully, your ob’t.*

The Half Breed Country.—A commuicatiou
in a lato Missouri paper describes a very interest
ing tract £ country, in the neighborhood of that
Stato, under the'above name. It is a point df
land, between the Des Moines and the Mississippi
rivers, ‘extending from the mouth of the Des Moi
nes nearly or quite to the head of low er rapids of
tlje Mississippi. .
The Half-Breed land 19 stated to bo in a very
peculiar conditibn, unlike that of any other tract
within tho limits of tho United Sfatcs or their ter
ritories. It is’not . within the organized limits
of any State .or territory.—It is not public land,
subject to tho disposal of congress, nor is it Indian
land. It is subject to no established community,
civilized or savage—yet it is inhabited. The
town of Kcokuck, at the foot of the rapids, is
already growing intd importance, aud will, at no
distant day, become a city. At low water, it is
tho limit df steamboat navigation, and the point
of transhipment of all the trade with the upper
Mississpipi. .If the nortljen boundary of Missouri
had extended to the Mississippi in a straight line
it would have included this country wfthiu that
State.
By the Indiau treaty of 1824, between the
U. States and the Sacs aud Fox Indians, those
tribes ceded to the Uuited States “all their lands
within the limits of the State of Missouri,” in
cluding within the lines of discription, this coun
try, tfhich, tho treaty stipulated, “is iutcuded
for the use of the half breeds belonging to the
Sac.aud Fox nations; they holding it, however
by the same title, arid in the same nianucr, as
other Indian tribes arc held. These half-breeds
f6rm no-nation or tribe, aud do not live together
as a community. The laud is said to be among
the finest and most valuable tracts iu the west.—

Water oh the Brain.—In 17C9, Dr. Ilnles Was
on a visit to Coik, when he was seized with a vio
lent fever, which* for some lime interrupted thq
course of usefulness in which he was engaged, 'll
was said, that his physician treated him injudi
ciously, and gave him too much laudanum. He
returned to Killesandra, against their advice, but
he was weak and relaxed, unable to make any ex
ertion of mind or b ody, nhd a deep depression hung
on his spirits. Ilaviug,"however, read somwhere
of a great author,, who when in it fever', had taken
laudanum, on which fire had flashed front Iris eyes,
(circumstauces that had occurred to himself,) and
that lie had recovered his health, by constantly pci-
serving in great exercise, he determined to try the
experiment himself, and accordingly walked.every
day in his garden, with such rapidity and exer
tion, that he was frequently obliged to change Iris
clothes from heat. Ode day while so employed a
sudden and great discharge of water ran from • his
nose, and he instantly felt as if-a great weight was
removed from his brain.' The grateful and happy
sensation was such that he was hardly able to get
into the house, where it Was .sonic time before he
could cofbpose his feelings of joy. From that time
he felt his mental faculties almost clearer than they
had ever been., He mentioned the Strange cirauin-
stance to many physicians, who said that his disor
der apparently had been water on the brain, but
they had never known a similar instance of rccov-
.ery.—British Magazine. • .
Very Singular.—We. see it noticed, says ,thb
Hagerstown Free Press, in one of the western pa
pers, as a curious circumstance, that every blade
on the stalks of oats of this year’s growth had on i:
the letter B. We had the curiosity to examine
several and found it to be true. The paper to
which We had reference says, that this freak of na
ture had created some alarm, inasmuch as the
knowing ones had fouud out that the letter was the
initial of Blood and Black'Hawk.
[What need have .the poor soul3 to borrow So
much trouble? Instead of believing it to be
the forerunner of ill. why not take it for granted
that Beef, Bread and Butter are to be abundant

Founder in llorsts, by Turkish Veterinary Sur-
geons. ,
Ancient Chelerdou, Kadi Kinny, April Si,
1832. Dear Sir—There are few sailors who are
‘judges of horse flesh," and I make no pretentious
to that sort of knowledge. I am going, however,-
to relate what 1 have seen ; if it is worth knowing,
it is well: if not, it is the easiest thing in, the
woild to throw this in the fire.
Sometime ago I bought a very good horse in tho
bazaar, forwHich I paid 900 piastres, or 50 dollars.
Eotrie thoughtffie'was dear, at that price, as you
may for five or six hundred piastres, buy here such
a "horse as no gentleman need be ashamed to
mount; however. I was much pleased with my
batgaiu. On my removal from Buyurdine to tins
place, the horse was rode very hard, and ori his ar
rival at Top Thana, a distance of 14 or 15 miles,
was permitted to stand in the cold wind and rain
two hours, without being rubbed do wn tir walked
about; consequently be becamefoundtred in the
right fore leg, 20 that he could scarcely walk.
I Sent for a Turkish farrier; the one who attends
the Sultaii’s" horses, lie immediately .pronounced
the liorse foundered, and said he must be bled in
the inside of the diseased leg. He put a nipper on
his rinse to keep him steady, then lookup the left
leg, and crossing it over the right, gave it to au at
tendant; he then struck liis lancet into the vein a.
little abqve the fetlock joint, and took from it
about three and a half pounds of blood—the vein
bled very freely: He now.said he had taken
enough; he then went in die very opposite side of
the leg, and slicking his lancet into a vein above
the knee joint, a single drop of blood exuded, and
both that and the first opened vein instantly ceased
bleeding. There may be no novelty in this, but it
certainly astonlihed mb to find, that opening two
veins In the Same limb would stop both from blee
ding; sufch; however, is the fact, ibi I witnessed it.
• He desired that the horse should rest the.next
dayi that Ire should then he lode with great violence
’until he was in a profuse perspiration, the deceased^
limb then to be rubbed dry, and walked about un
til cool, and recovered with blankets ;„and the
sanie process to be repeated next day, which was
done, and all lameness from .that time disappear
ed—the horse the third day after the first rubbing
was perfectly well;'

Cure for the Gout.—Tho Notizia del Gioruo of

periments. most successfully made on persons of
every age and both sexes iu that capital, for the ra
dical cure of the gout, rheumatism, sciatica and dis
eases, which have been hitherto thought incur a We.

drink may occasion nausea and vomiting, the
doses should not, however, be diminished; and

Ncid Variety in the Human Species.—Winkle-
man had.perceived that the ear was invariably pla
ced muqh Higher in the Egyptian statues than the
Greek;' but he attributed this singularity to a sys
tem irithS Egyptian artists, of elevating the ears of
their kings, in the same way as the Grecian artists
had exaggerated the perpendicularity of the facial
angel in the heads of their gods. M. Bureau de le
Malic, ori his visit, in May, 1831,to the Museum
at Turin, so rich in Egyptian monuments, was par
ticularly struck with this peculiarity in all thcslat-
ucs of I’hia, Meris, Osmandyas, Khmnses, and
Sesostris. Six mummies, recently arrived from
Upper Egypt,-were at that time under examination,
and afforded him tho means of ascertaining wheth
er this special character of the higer situation of
orifice of the ear really existed in the skulls of the
natives of the country. lie was much astonished
to find ip these, as well as in many skulls from the
same place, of which tht-facial angle did not.differ
from that of tne* European race, that the orifice of
the ear. instead of being, as with us, on a line with
the lower part of the nose, was placed on a line
with the centre of the eye.—Ijie head, in the re
gion of the temple, was also much depressed, and
the trip of the skull elevated, as compared with
those ofE-uropeffroin one and a half to two inches.
Mr. Webster, it is believed, is about to publish an

One icO ever .doth tread piton another's heels.—A
tradesman, being suddenly called out of his room
on businessj left upon the table a bill of exchange
which he had jirsL received. Whilst his wife was
engaged in bathing her infant,' another child, a
few j cars.oldcr, took tho bill and tore it to pieces.
The father, entering at the’ moment, became so
enraged, that he gave the child a violent blow ou

protection of manufactures, is an exercise of pow
ers, not granted by the constitution, but a plain,
and palpable violation of the true intent, mean
ing and spirit thereof; that the. said acts cannot
be justified under the power of regulating com
merce with foreign nations, since to regulate is
not to destroy; aud the principle of a substantive
protection to domestic manufactures assumes,
and in some instances, exerts the power of impo
sing a duty, which effectually prohibits the impor
tation of foreign fabrics of like kind with those
which are thus protected, and to this extent de
stroys foreigu commerce, instead of regulating it.
That they cannot tic supported under the power
to lay and collect duties, since this power was
given solely for the purpose of enabling the gov
ernment to raise a revenue, which, should be ad
equate to its wants, and the amount of revenue
which is raised by these protective duties,, very-
far exceeds the legitimate wants’ of the govern
ment—aud that the attempt to vindicate the ex
ercise of a power to impose a burthen bn the la
bor and industry of one portion of the people of
the,United States for the benefit of another por
tion of the same people, under the power to pro
vide for the common defence and general welfare
of the United States, is even more alarming than
the direct results of the system itself, because that
is to ascribe to congress a power to- do whatever
in their judgment may cdnducc to the commop
dofence anil general welfare, apd thus to invest*
the National Legislature with.unlimited, (because
merely discretionary) power over the rights and
liberties of tho people of Georgia.
8. That the people of Georgia are sincerely
attachcd to the Federal'Constitution and to the*
union of these states, which it creates arid guar
antees—that they consider it as a"precious inher^
itancc received from their fathers, which it is the
duty of patriotism to .maintain and defend, and
estimate it above all price, save that of liberty:
that they arc ever ready to peril ih'eir fortunes
and their lives in its defence, and would deeply
deplore its dissolution, as an event alike inauspi
cious to themselves, and to the cause of civil liber
ty throughout the woild. That actuated by these
feelings! aild oven amid the difficulties. whiAi be
set then), uot despairing of the Republic, they
Will .still persevere in the use of every proper and
efficient mentis for t[ic peaceful adjustment of this
unhappy controversy, which may be within their
power as one of tho sovereign members of this
confederacy, or which may result from consulta
tion aud conference with their.sister states, hav
ing a common interest with them in this 'matter.
That taking the payment of the national debt, as
the period after which the present tariff of duties,
so far as - it transcends the purposes .of revenue,
and is designed for the protection of domestic
manufactures, cau find no plausible pretext iu our
cotistitujional charter, they are-willing to wait
until Congress shall have full time deliberately to
determine whether they will reduce and equalize
the. duties on foreign imports’, so as to bring the
income of the government within the limits of re
venue, and to collect the contributions of our cit
izen’s on tho principles of just taxation. That
having regard to the iutercstsof those whose cap
ital has been invested in manufactures, during the
progress of that course' of legislation of which
they complain, they are willing that the reduc
tion and equalization of duties which they ask
thrc3 or fonr months. A factory of the same
number of spindles, (2500,) is about to be estcli-

We do indeed most earnestly hope that the juris-
prudence of Georgia will be ere long 'relieved
from tho reproach of tile total tvaut of central
controlling, equalizing, harmonizing power. The
mcasnre is susceptible of no party view or senti
ments. There cau be no party 011 the question
but tho lovers of regulated law and those who
arc opposed or indifferent to it. Wc hope there
are but few of the* latter. The people have the

Dreams.—-The following exclamation'by -Dr.
Abercro'mbie, of. the fulfilment of dreams; is ra
tional and satisfactory.
A class of dteams which presents an interesting
subject of observation, includes those in xyIiicIi a
strong propensity of character, or a strong mental
emotion, is embodied into a dreiim, and by some
natural coincidence is fulfilled. A murderer, men
tioned by Mr. Combe, had dreapied of committing
murdersome years before the event took place*
But more remarkable still are. those instances, many
of them authentic, in which# dream has given no
tice of an event which was occurring at the time, or
occurred'soon after. The following story has been
long rrlecittbned in Edinburgh, and there sqcmsno
reason to doubt its authenticityA clergyman,
had come to tliis city from a short distance; in the
country; and jvas’^ sleeping at an inn, wften he
dreamed ofsccingha fire, and one of Iris diildrcn
in the midst of it. He riwoke with the imricssion,
and instantly left town on Ids return home. : When
he arrived witbio sight ufhis house, he fouid it on
fire, and got there in time to assist in saving one of
his chrildren.'who in the alarm and confusion had
been left in a situation of danger. Without call
ing in question the possibility of supo’rnttural com
munication in such cases, this striking oecuiitnce;
ofwhichl believe there is little reason t* doubt,
the truth, may perhaps bp accounted for ocsitiiple
and natural principles. Let us suppose hat the
gentleman had a servant who had shown greit care
lessness in regard to fire, and had often cuen rise
in his mind.to a strong apprehension that In might
set fire to the house. His anxiety might be in
creased by his being from home, and thi same
circumstance might make the servant stil more
#are*ess. I,et us further suppose that the jentje-
man, before going,10 bed! had? in .addition "to Iris
anxiety, suddenly recollected that there w^s on
that day, in the neighborhdtid of hi* house, sono
fair, or periodical merry-making, from which tbe
servant wa> very likely to return hoaie in a state of
intoxication. It was most natural that these m-
pressions should be embodied into i .dream -of l*is
bouse being on fire, and that the samecircumstcmfb.'
might lead lo the dream being firifillsd.

anti" Tariff, resolutions
adopted by the. late Convention at Milledgevillc.
Whereas divers portions of the people, of .Geor
gia have assembled in Convention ' for the pur
pose of taking iuttr consideration the grievances
uuder which they labor from the Protective Sys
tem, and .to devise the most elliciout aud proper
means of relief.
Bo it therefore’ Resolved by the Delegates of
the people of Georgian! said Convention assem
bled. That the Federal Government is a. con
federacy formed by tlfe states composing' ‘the
same, for the specific purposes expressed hi the
constitution, anil for those alouc. \
, 2. That every exercise by the Federal Govern
ment, or by. any department thereof, of powers
not'granted Lfy the constitution, notwithstanding
it may bo under the forms of.law, 'is* iu. relation
to tlie constituent states, a inere .usurpation.
3. That . a government of limited powers can
have 110 constitutional right to judge, in the last re
sort, of its own use, or abuse of 4 me powers con
ferred upon* it, since that would.be ho substitute
for the limitations of the constitutional charter, the
judgment of the agents who were eiriploycd to
earryit iuto effect—to annihilate those limitations
by a power derived from the same instrument
which created them.'
4. That tlio Federal Government, is a govern
ment, tho powers of which are express!#- limited
by the constitution’ which created it,' -and can
therefore have no constitutioiial.right-ttfjucfgp in
tho last resort of the use or abuse of those powers.
^.<*That it is essential to a confederated gov
ernment! the powers of which are'expressly limi
ted by tlio constitution which creates it, that there
should exist somewhere a potvci' authoritatively
to interpret that instrument to decide in the last
resort, on the use or abuso of thc-authorlty, which
it confers upon the common agent of the" confed
erating states : that such a power cannot belong
jo'tlic agent, since that would bo to substitute bis
judgment for the constitutional limitation, and
that in the absence of a common arbiter express
ly designated by the constitution for this purpose,
each state as such for itself, and in virtue of its
sovereignty is necessarily remitted to the exercise
of that riglu.
6. That’tho several stales composing this Un
ion were,- at the adoption of the Federal consti
tution, ! ree, sovereign and independent states:'
that .they have not divested themselves of tjiis
character, by the relinquishment of certain pow
ers to the Federal Government, having associated
with their sister states for purposes entirely com
patible ,with the continued existence of their own
or !$£telfc VeLllom ’ so Y e . r e*Knty and independence.
