“Extract” from the Minutes of the Board, at
tho extra meeting held this day; the exhibit of
the condition of the bank, as prepared lor the half
yearlv return to the Governor, and the President’s
letter accompanying the same with estimate of
probable loss from bad and doubtful debts, being

JAMES SMITH, Cashier.
To the Stockholders of the Marine and Fire In
surance Bank.
This Institution was first chartered as an In
surance Company, and twenty-five dollars ou
each share paid. The operations of the Insur
ance Company were not successful!, and so much
of the capital was lost, that when the Bank Char
ter was obtained, the assets amounted to only
eight dollars and nineteen cents.
After tho Bank Charter was obtained, an.in
stalment often dollars 011 each share was called
iu, making the assets amount to eighteen dollars
and nineteen cents per share; but this instalment
of ten dollars was added to the Insuraneo Com
pany scrip of twenty-five dollars, and new scrip
issued for thirty-five dollars when the assets, in
fact, only amounted to eighteen dollars and nine
teen cents.
By the operations of tho Bank, in addition to
the dividends which have been made, the actual
assets of the Bank have been increased from eigh
teen dollars and nineteen reuts. to twenty-five
dollars per share, which is the present true par
value of the stock,
By order of the Board of Directors, I submit
to the consideration of the stockholders, the pro
priety of surrendering the present scrip, and re
ceiving new scrip for twenty-five dollars, in order
that the scrip may represent the correct capital
of tho Bank.
The fact, that the scrip does not at this time
represent the correct capital of the Bank, is con
sidered a sufficient reasou for the adoption of the
proposition.
A Written answer is requested from each stock
holder, stating his or her assent or dissent to this
proposition-
Respectfully submitted by

INFANCY.
“Delightful task” to mark the infant mind
When first it looks from eyes as pure as Ugh;,
And smiles from lips like rosebuds bathed iu dew,
And thinks or dreams of thought—nay acts in
love
Mid scenes of deepest wonder. What musings.
What rays of thought shoot through the infant
soul
When first it marks thd lam Wight orb of fire
In glory bright, too bright to be beheld,
Methinks it catches then the bright impress
Of light insufferable and of glory full 1
What musings, warm with life & wondrous love,
When first it meets the food and holy look
Of the pale form which o’er it bends importunate
In thrilling language of the inquiring eye,
Seeking returns for lote. I surely think
That then the soul feels heaven, sees heavenly
grace,
Adores the waking glances of Almighty power,
Receives the deep enstampment of a God
Who claims his own, fixing his impress fair
Upon the soul as ou the body stamped.
Oh wondrous wisdom! benevolence divine!
To speak so clearly and so sweetly too
Iu the still whisperings of a mother’s Kve
Lessons as warm and bright as heaven itself.
In after months before tho tougue has learned
To form the word and clothe the struggling tho’t,
What must the trembler think? Nature springs
In thrice ten thousand forms of perfect grace
To fill it with surprise. Its own fair hand
Ami flower of sweetest form, the fiisking lamb,
The faithful dog, and the more noble steed,
The rolling chariot and the changing fields,
'1 he silvery river rolling in its pride,
The lofiy mountain canopied with clouds
Of gorgeous brightness—or perhaps at night
The father parts the curtain’s ample folds
And points it to the oft ignited cloud—
At first ’tis distant—distant, dark and black—
At once tbe electric flash opens in brightness
Heaven—what must the immortal think? for
think it must—
Methinks whilewondering at the glorious sight
It feels as Moses did when Horeb’s top
Instanced the holy fire Yes, then it fears
And trembles at a God, and loves him too.
All earth and heaven unite to teach its soul
Cradled in love and carrolled by the lips
Of watchful seraphs, how to think, and soon
From thinking feel, and through that feelin
speak !

SAVANNAH AND MACON RAIL ROAD.
The following interesting information respect
ing this contemplated rail road, wo copy from the
Savannah Republican of last Friday.
Extract of a letter laid before the City Council
at its sitting yesterday, addressed to IF. IF.
Gordon, Esq. Mayor, from Curtis Balton, Esq
New York.
44 In a conversation with Judge Wright he says,
from information, as well as slight examination
of Mr. Cruger’s report, he considers the project
not merely practicable, but tho face and charac
ter of the country extremely favorable to carry
it into effect. By bis recollection, Mr. Cruger esti
mates the expense at $11,000 per mile which in-
clndes the regular Northern mode of forming
these Roads, where stone being plenty a great
deal is used: but according to tho Judge, he
would dispense with the stone aud use the mate
rials which lie iu abundance along the line of the
contemplated Road ; he would substitute timber
and brush wood: thus making a road which
would last twenty years, which would leave to
posterity to adopt such gradual and greater per
manence, as it might see fit. . Ami he wuuld al
so propose, somethiug likh a middle course, be
tween the great digging & filling up at the North,
aud the stilts at Charleston and Augusta Rail
Road, following more thau either the natural
surface in which, with the use of Locomotive En
gines. lie perceives no particular disadvantage.
Iu answer to my question as to the difference of
expense, in the first iustance, between this meth
od and the regular one adopted by Mr. Cruger,
be said at least $4,000 per mile—so that if Mr.
Gruger’s estimate 811.000 the actual expense on
his pl.tu would be $7,000 per mile perhaps less.
It occurred to me that the Judge’s plan possesses
the additional recommendation, that the next age
will have the full benefit of tho improvements
which the present may make in the construction
of these roads, without waste of Capital. Be as
sured of one tliiug, that if you undertake this no
ble project the services of this distinguished man,
should lie secured, he would make two or three
visits per auuum to Georgia ; it is as much as ho
gives to the greatest undertakings In this region.
His engagements at present exteudsfrom Canada
to Cuba. I hope to be enabled to write you a-
gain shortly ou this very iutercsting subject. I
•mi, truly yours,
C. BALTON.
The croaking of the Nullifiers have been pro-
mature. There will be no schism in the Union
Party; uo crumbling to pieces of that uncemcu-
ted edifice; uo confusions among these discord
ant materials, about and concerning which,, the
imagings of tho Enqurier, &c. have been so bril
liant, so extensive and particular. But instead
of falling to pieces as the prophets predicted, the
party seems only to acquire strength and consis
tency with every new exercise of the right of pri
vate thought and public discussion. Differences
of opinion in regard to matters of expediency,
there undoubtedly has been among the individu
als of the party. Aud why should there not be?
Each individual claims for himself entire inde
pendence of thought independence of opinion,
and action. The members of the Uuion Party
acknowledge no dictation, to prescribe their forms
of faith or shape their principles. Each thinks
for himself, aud acts ou his own responsibility.
Difference of thought aud opinion will therefore
unavoidably ocfcur. But it is exactly because
these differences in opinion do exist, that the par
ty will not crumble to pieces! For although men
will think differently upou subjects of passing oc
currence, yet they will see the necessity of acting
together ill cases where their great principles
are implicated. Thus, for example, tho Union
Party may think differently, & do think different
ly in regard to tho next candidate for the Pres
idency. Some may prefer Van Bnreu; others
White. They may prefer one or the other of
these individuals because they may think that iu
the selection of one or the other, the best interests j
of the country will be more effectually advanced
Really, this may be called tli9 age of 'veiri^
AVe bear of coa-ventions and ia-ventionj, tT ^
day. With the ta-ventions of oue party.acd : '
co?i-ventions of the other, it is to be hoped tW
couutrv will be saved !
What will the Nullifiers do ?—The Acjt;-,
Chronicle states, that Judge Clayton “hauct*»r
mined, finally and decidedly, rdl to be a candii.
ate, or to permit his name to be submittedi*^
Convention.” The Nullies cannot support GJ
mef,'whom the unli-Nullies—(a branch 6
State Rights or auti-Union party)—aredeter**,
cd to nominate ; nor can they support with*,
hope of success a candidate of their own kiJmi-
The Chronicle appears to grieve at this stittij
tilings, and in the mean time exhorts his i-artiza-s
to “remain steadfast in the true faith," wLileit
endeavors to push forward the claims of Henri,
Moore, Floyd, Strong, Colquitt, anil Latv-alld
whom he calls “true,” and cither ol whom wnj
receive its “most cordial, zealous ami activessi

regard for the welfare of the
country though it may give rise to slight differ
ences of opinion, yet it is more cmpaihetical-
ly the indissoluble bond of Union.
Aud ou this attachment of the Union party, to
the porpetuity of the Union, do we confidently
rely, as a guaranty, that they will all act together
iu good faith, in the present crisis, White may
be the choice of one; Van Buren of another.—
Butif we know any thing of their fuelling, the
Union with either—will be preferred, to Nullif ca
tion with the other. And to this issue will the
question come at last. We have uot, therefore,
the least dread that the Union Party will crumble
to pieces —
Milledgcville. will give the members of the Party
an opportunity of ascertaining the views of the
majority, and to those views will the minority
magnanimously vicld assent.— Co. Sentinel.

phrenology.
As this scientific imposition has invaded the
southern section of tho Union, wo have transla
ted, for the information of our readers, the follow
ing paragraph from a late French paper.
“The autopsy of M. Diipuytreu has shown
that the skull of this extraordinary man, accord
ing to the system of craniologists, bore tho in
telligence of a common man. The head of
Napoleon had given a flat and conclusive con
tradiction to the system of Gall and Spurzheim.
There exist many analogous facts ; and among
them this oue: M. Mageudi kept for several
days at his house, the skull of M. de Laplace,
between those of two idiots-. The phrenologists,
on examining these skulls, were obliged to make a
mark iu order to designate the one they took up
for Mr. de Laplace ; aud they did uot succeed,
once iu twenty rimes. Very recently the head
of the sheep has been locotized, the expression
now used in France by phreuologists, and the
most prominent bum. s found, are those which
relate to ready wit, metaphysicks, aud a love of
God.

THE INDEMNITY BILL PASSED BY" A
MAJORITY OF 152 VOTES.
Tlte Packet Ship Napoleon, from Liverpool,

25th. containing the long promised news, that
the Indemnity Bill had passed, and by a larger
majority than had at any time been anticipated.
The vote was taken on Saturday. April 18th.
The following, from tho London Times of April

it would appear that Mr. Livingston is not expect

been attributed to him iu the course of the debate.
