$1 CONFIDENCE AND CREDIT:
The day was dark, the markets dull,
The ’Change was thin, Gazettes were full,
And half the town was breaking;
The countersign ofeush was "stop!"
Bankers and Bankrupts shut up shop.
And honest hearts were aching.
When n.ear the Bench, my fancy spied
A faded form, with hasty stride,
Beneath griefs burthen stooping—
Her name was Credit, and she said.
Her father, Trade, was lately dead,
II :r mother, Couonrct, drooping.
'flic snfls that she was wont to wear,
Was withered by the hand of care,
Her eyes had lost their lustre;
Her character was gone, she said.
For h isety she had been betrayed.
And nobody would trust her.
That hojust Industry had tried
To gain fair Credit for hit bride,
And found the lady willing;
But ah! a Fortuac-htiuicr came.
And Speculation w ia. ids name,
A Hake not worth a shilling.
The villain was on mischief bent.
Ho gained both Dad and Ham’s consent,
And then poor Credit s inrtcs);
Ho filched her fiutnnj and her tamo—
lie fixed a blot upon her name,
And left her broken-hearted.
When t’m«poor Credit seemed to siglt
Her con-an Confident* came bv,
(.Mctliioks he must be eleven)
For when ha whispered in her ear,
Sao checked the sigh, aha dried the tear.
And smiled as sweet as ever.

That cherished credit maybe saved,
And cannot get it “till to-mmrow,”

The only way to spite the brokers,
And wring their purses—is to fail.

THE NEW .MOTIVE POWER.
The last number of Billims.ii’* Journal contains a
particular description of Mr. Davenport’s wontlerlul
inveM’on—the application of magnetic and electro
magnetic power as a moving principle to machinery.
The editor of tile New Era, who, with other scientific
persons, lias examined tin: rotary machine which
Messrs. Davenport and Cook have new in operation,
slates die following facts as personally tested by him
self.
“First. We saw a small cylindrical battery, about
nine inches in length, ur>d three or four in diameter,
produce a magnetic power of about three hundred
pounds, and which, therefore, we could not move with
our utmost strength. Second. We saw a small wheel,
five inches and a lialf in diameter, performing more
than six hundred revolutions in n minute, and lift n
weight of twenty-four pounds one foot per minute,
from the power of a battery of still smaller dimen
sions. Third. We saw the model of a locomotive
engine, traveling on a circular railroad wifli immense
velocity, and rapidly ascending an inclined plane of
far greater elevation than any hitherto ascended by
steam power. And these, and various other experi
ments which we saw, convinced us of the truth of the
opinion expressed by Prolessors Silliman, Rcnwick,
and others, that the power of machinery may be in
creased from this source beyond any assignable limits.
It i* computed by these learned men, that a circular
galvanic battery, about three feet in diameter, with
magnets of'a proportionable surface, would produce
at least a three hundred horse power; and therefore
that two such batteries wonhl be sufficient to propel
shins of the largest size across the Atlantic. The only
nmirrials required to generate and continue this pow
er for inch a voyage, would lie a few thin sheets of
cooper and zinc, and a few gallons of mineral acid.—
\V hiie the cost of this new motive power is merely
nominal, it is perfectly safe and manageable. There
is not a possibility of any shock or explosion, and the
whole machinery might be conducted by a child/*

Curs For The Dnpsy.—A gentleman in the Ken
tucky Reporter gives the following :
Take cinder from a blacksmith shop, and heat it
fine, sifl it, to take out the coarse par'ides ;—Mix the
fine cinder in a pint of honey until it is stiff enough u>
lay on tin: point ofn case knife, not hard like pills.
Give the patient os much as will lay outlie point of a
case kuilc, three times a day, morning, noon and at
night. This mixture is very purgative, and will cause
the patient to discharge great quantities of water, pur
gative!)' ami by urine. The portion may be given ac
cording to the operation t^if that | appears too severe,
give less; if it does not operate enough, give more;
continue it until the swelling is gone.
The patient may eat any diet but milk, of which he
should not taste a drop, neither take any other kind of
medicine while using die above. I have known sev
en! persons who were cured of thnt dreadful disease
by using the above mixture, suine of whom were so
bad that the water oozed out of their feet and left their
tracks as they walked on the floor.
Infusion of Walnut /.cores To Destroy Insects.— It
appears hy a communication to the London Horticul
tural Snciuiy, hy Sir Charles M. I.. Monck, Bart, that
worms which infested plants in pots, were destroyed
hy a pint of an infusion of walnut leaves given to each
pi it. ’ Tim worms quickly emerged from the mould to
the surface, and were removed. This treatment was
repeated the following week, when a few more worms
were extracted; the plums, which had been sickly,
alter this application resumed their hcnhli and blos
somed strongly. This success induced .Sir Charles to
try the experiment on orange trees, and other plants
in pots, und it was attended with equal sui cess, lie
thinks that the infusreii is beneficial, not only in
destroying worms, but that it acts nbo ns a manure.
Tl»e infusion is made hy pouring boiling water on fresh

TO THE PUBLIC.
The several banking institutions of Angusta adop
ting the course recommended to them, at a meeting of
citizens on the J8tb inst., have made a temporary sus
pension of specie payment- -They have determined
upon this measure with extreme reluctance and not
without much hesitation. But when it was ascertain
ed thattiiu Banks in Charleston and riavannah bad
yielded to this necessity it became apparent that an
effort to continue the pay uuui of specie at Angusta,
would call for sacrifices from the mercantile com-
tuuuity greater than justice or sound policy would ap
prove.
Tim foreign debt of G urgia has been virtually in
creased by the great decline m the value of her staple
und the ability to appropriate cotton to the pay-
meat ofa:i/p>rtfoaol that debt is p iralysed by the
recents i n ifirciil revulsion, which commencing at
New Odium an I New York, hxs since extended over
the whole co mtry; prostrating credit so entirely, as
to prove it tno sile, or ship.item, of produce from
our warehouse*. Toe revulsion has been followed
by a suspension of specie payments in every state of
our union, bordering on the oe can Irorn Maine to
Louisiana. The immediate effcc ( of this general sus
pension Ins been to call i nee the value of coiu over
that of bank ptptr sum ton or fifteen par cent, in
consequence of which, the specie hereafter paid from
our Banks will be sontdireci to New York, toe great
centreal of American commerce, for the purpose of
exporation to Europe. Now. when the fncit ties for
the transportation of Jcoio t frmu Augusta to New
York, are considered; and that by the suspensions iu
Charleston and Savannah, our D ink* are, of ail oth
er Southern Institutions, miwt contiu ;ous, in regard
tot imo and cost, to the poiui where specie commands
tho highest pramiuitn, it becomes apparent that these
Hanks will be required to redeem at least as many o
their notes a* cm b: purchased,', from those who now
hold them. Thu enhanced value of coin will warrant
nconsiderable prouiiini on tire notss of such Institu
tions as are convenin'., ami winch continue specie pav-
ments;anl at th: aggregate circulation of our Banks
bears but a small proportion to the debt of Georgia
and-South Carolina, should they n it suspond. an a-
tnonntof current uo'cs, might and would be concen
trated sufficient to bring in the whole of their circula
tion for redemption.
Tho aggregate capita! of the Banks in Augusta as
will be soon by subjoined table, is S3.tild.145
Their discount ain't together to 4,769/269 76
Theamouut of tit nr circulation is 1,716,’221
The amount of their coin is 813,153
From this statement we learn tho real strength of
our home institutions; tho unusual large’proportion
of coiu to circulation, and the moderate extent of dis
counts, compared with capital.
Under the supposition that our Banks continued
specie payments, it would be necessary for them to
commence a rapid reduction of their discount line, and
to continue, until that reduction equalled the difference
between the amount of coin now owned, and the a-
niount of their notes in circulation to wit; §963.037,-
96 At presvut, when money is so scarce, and the
demands for new loans, and renewals without reduc
tion, aro pressing on our Banks, it requires tioargu-
ment to show that a sudden reduction to such an ex
tent could uitba accomplished: the attempt to enforce
it would only involve our citizens in a state of bank
ruptcy, exceeding that of our nio*t afflicted cities.—
This pressure would benr with more severity in con-
m quenre of suspensions elsewhere; because the prin
ciple of self preservation would require on the part of
our Bank* a refusal of depreciated paper. the differ
ence in value therefore, between the good and the bad,
would have fallen a* an additional charge on their deb
tors.
Another consequence from our supposition, would
have borne ditectly on the planter. Even had our
Banks accomplished their object iu time to meet their
own payments, they would have remained afterwards
unable to furnished tho funds requisite to purchase
the cotton now withheld from market, and which in
a few weeks mist be sent forward- Under these cir
cumstatices, the planter would have found himself
at the mercy of the very, very few who might theu be
in possession of surplus fuuds. This suggestiomwill
likewise apply to the whole crop of cotton destined
for the Augusta market (luring the succeeding winter,
unless our commercial embarrassments are removed
before that period.
Assuming however, an opposite supposition, we
are induced to believe that our Banks by a timely sus
pension ol specie peyments wih he enabled to sup
ply the funds required to piuchase that portion of the
cotton crop wi'hheld so long from market, as well as
to continue fo their debtors, the indulgence necessa
ry and advisable, and likewise, by hav ing preserved
their coin, they may resume payment, without pres
sure on their customers, so soon a* a change occurs in
commercial affairs, to remove the causes which indu
ced the suspension.
It ought not to be concealed, tint serious evils to the
Banks and to the community, may arise from the
course now adopted. The standard of credit may be
lowered; a reckless system of hanking may be intro
duced,-—and while on the one hand the Banks may
suffer losses, on the other, the people may experience
far greater injury. Our new position therefore, calls
for greater prudence and greater watchfulucss; let the
B uilts and the community become properly impressed
witiithe truth of this suggestion, ami we have no fear*
for the future. Let them disregard the adinonitiou,
and the present distresses uny be considered us trivial
in comparison with those which will follow.
With such views as have now been presented, the
several banks of Augusta, represented by their Presi
dents and Cashiers at a meeting uu the -doth instant,
adopted the following resolutions;
Resolved, That the sever tl Banks in this city will
suspend, for the present, the payment of specie.
Jlcsolced, Thaiduringtlicsii pension, the said Banks
and Branches, will publish in tiie city papers monthly,
a statement oftheir conditions severally, shewing foe
ainomit oftheir assets and liabilities, especially depos-
ites, circulation, and coin owned by the Bank.
Resolved. That it is earnestly recommended to all
other Institutions in our State, which may likewise
suspend specie payments, to make a similar exhibit.
Hesideed, That Editors in South Carolina and Geor
gia, arc hereby requested to publish these monthly
statements for the information of tticir subscribers.
Resoloed, That the Banks represented at this mee
ting do hereby pledge themselves to uucii other and
to Hie community, to resume the payment of specie
whenever the cause producing the present suspension
shall cease to render the measure an imperative duty.

In the other event—that of limiting the action of
the banks in the most rigid and explicit manner, to the
extent tlie crisis demands—all will be well again, and
the suspension will work most happy influences. If
the banks clip down their discounts to what may be
considered the bare wants of the community, and cur
tail as fast as possible,., without oppressing to the ex
tremity of distress, upon tho resumption we shall find
the monetary system in a condition greatly improved
—comparatively heal’hy. General economy would be
induced among individual* who form the aggregate of
the nation—the merchants would reduce their stock—
and every means would be used to get rid of the liabil
ities which the late lamented improprieties have loaded^
us with. In the mean time, from the abandonment of
building, internal improvement, <Jtc. a great quantum
of labor will be forced into the agrtcultural depart
ment, and the exports of the country would be conse
quently increased. Indeed every tiling would tend to
the attainment of onr great object, freeing ourselves
and the country from debt.
Now is the time, then for the State Legislature* to
save the country from the worst of consequences.—
Let the patriot and sage come forth and exercise their
patriotism and wisdom, for their country’s sake. The
question is all important We trust uo State where a
suspension takes place, will refuse to convene her leg
islature. It is essential to the welfare of all the States
.that the course should be adopted.
SAVANNAH. Slay 19,
Meetings of the Banks.—'The Banks of our City
held meetings this morning, at which the proceedings
of a Public Meeting of the Citizens and Merchants of
Savannah, recommending a temporary suspension of
specie payments by the Bunking Institutions of this
City were considered, and we understand that there
has been the following expression of opinion and de
termination.
Whereas, The Banks generally of the North have
closed their vaults as a precautionary measure, against
the arrangements that are making to draw their spe
cie “ with a view to Foreign exportation:” and “thus
deprive them of the means of redeeming their domes
tic obligations to their own citizens” And whereas,
the duty is thus forced upon the Batiks of this city, to
protect the State and community, in which they are
located, from attempts to extract from them for the
purposes of speculation, the specie so imperatively
demanded for places to which they are not indebted;
And whereas, the measure of suspei ding specie pay
ments temporarily, has been recommended to the va
rious Banking Institutions of this city, by a large mee
ting of Citizens, as one demanded by the exigencies of
the times, and justified by nature’s'first law—that of
self-defence. It was therefore.
licsolecd. That the Banks will simultaneously sus
pend specie payments temporarily, but will redeem
their bills, when required, with current Bank Bills
passing at par value.
We are informed that tlic notes ol'the Interior Bank*
generally, will be received by the various Banks.—
Georgian.

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
What may lie regarded a* a requisite now to bring
the currency bask to a healthy condition is the adop
tion of precautionary measures by ibe several Stu.e
Legislatures, fo prevent the longer pursuance of thnt
ruinous policy hy the Batiks, in their unauthorised is
sue of paper, and the improper credits which they
have extended. In order to carry out this opiniun the
Legislature* of all the States shall lie convened.—
New York basset the example in her law for the gra
dual reduction of the issues or circnlaiion of the banks.
Upon this proceeding hangs the weal nr woo to this
'country from the suspension. Leave the banks unre
stricted—establish on sentinels to watch their move
ments in the new field ‘bey occupy, and the most fla
grant abuse—iho most reprehensible and ruinous pol-
y will ensue. The banks which know themselves to
bj perfectly insolrr.nl at this time, who never expect to
on solvent, will emit their bills without stint, and thus
increase tho evil winch ha* h. ought ns to the brink of
tho precipice on which we now trembl-. Their only
o:»;act will bo to make the most of the privilege which
they enjoy in common with the saleent, and to render
inure impure the sickly atmosphere in which they
breathe. These- will incrc.t-e the evil to such a de
cree that we cannot fancy a limit to the consequen
ces.
The effect of this would be fo increase the liabilities
of tho people, which always keep pace with the temp
tation or facilities to borrow mo iev—an i to press the
banks into greater bankruptcy. Hand.'.- Is ami thou*
ends more would be drawn into the vortex on the re-
MISSISSIPPI.
Tlie last Chickasaw Uuion states, in re feeuce to
the proceedings of the Legislature uf Mississippi, now
in session, that “the Post Note Bills, at tlie latest in
ieiligei.ee, had passed the lamer House; and we
opine, ere this, ha.* receivad the concurrent voice of
the Senate, aud become a law. \Ve have not yet
been able to learn the true character of the bill as it
jiassed the House, but hope that it may give the relief
so much needed, and that the remedy will uot, as
some apprehend, prove wore than tlie disease.’’
The same paper contains a very sensible letter from
the Hon. Stephen Cooke, a member of that body,
from which we make tlie following extract:
The most proiniiieut project spoken of as indica
ting a disposition on the part of the State to provide
any thing in the way of pecuniary relief, is the des
ired arrangement that shall authorise and make it tlie
interest of the existing hanking institutions to issue
twelve moutlis post notes; but the conditions and
circumstances under which they shall issue hare not
bee i matured, nor the deta Is of a bill regulated. If
any legislative action sliail he had on the subject at all
I am persuaded it will be iu that form. Connected
with the security for tlie ultimate redemption of these
post notes, will be attempt to add the faith of tlie
Suita. This thing of pledging tlie faith of the State
is the pledging of its revenues, and the creation a ne
cessity imposing hereafter a very heavy taxation on
the community. This would involve alike as well
those who had been profited hy the arrangement as
th -se who had no connection with it, Such a policy
to say the least of it. is of a very doubtful and danger
ous tendency and rharacter; and as for myself, I am
apprehensive it will be hard to convince ine that item
bo made reconcilable with my represen’ative duty to
subject one man, in any contingency, to the payment
of money, or be liable to other inconveniences on ac
count of din debt*, defaults or miscarriages of another
Uy inclinations tire to leave every individual to work
oiu his own salvatio in the best way he .can ; and I
think the!over-trading should be left to the account of
profit and loss, fo regulate it-self.
POLITICAL.
THE MAGIC OF A NAME.
Die late convention of Nullificrs, if rumor be true,
bad their wits very much puzzled, with tlie grave and
important question, 'wluit new name shall we as
sume t” The wholo system has been one of decep
tion and imposition. \V'e had thought that the old ad
age, •’things by their right names,” had acquired a kind
of sanctity, at least, in the vocabulary of truth—
These politicians, however, have striven, for sever
al ye irs, to designate themselves hy any thing but
their "right name ” It seams that false creeds, in
their opinion, can be best supported by false names.—
Wc believe, in ibis, they are right. Truth however,
needs no such disguise; am’, we regaru their wincing
and shifting in this matter a sort of acknowledgement,
uot only that their principles are false, but that they
aie afraid to avow them houeatly before an honest
people. The public always regard it as suspicious,
when a mail changes his name. We never knew an
honest man to do it. This ridiculous assumption of
new names has become a stale trick of our adversat*
ies—it can no longer delude the people. Nullifica
tion and disiiuion are nullification and disunion still;
whether they be called Federalism, Republicanism,
Bankisui, State Rights, Whigisiu or any other ism, for
we can hardly enumerate all the names and combina
tions of names this new sect has assumes., to cheat
and defraud honest men into their support. Ever
since their odious designs were defeated hy Jackson,
aud Calhoun backed out and compromised the Tar
iff upon ns fur ten years, they have. been ashamed
and afraid oftheir true name. Like pirates, they pre
fer to sail under fidse colors—indeed the bloody flag
and blue cockade never could flourish in Georgia.—
And well may you now be ashanteffi gentlemen, at
ibe name which best designatesyonrqjrinciples—since
the great impostor of your false creed,* Calhoun, fos
ueeome. if not the open advocate, at least the apologist
.if the Tariff. The people of Georgia know you—
though you may call yourselves, by the decree «fyonr

PIIOCEEDINGS’ON THE PRESIDENT’S RE

The object of tho committee from New York that
recently waited upon the President, is fully explained
in the resolutions adopted on their return. Their nd-
dress to the President, his reply, and the conclusion of
the body they represented thereupon, will.he found in
onr columns-
It will be observed that they embrace in their causes
of complaint nil tlie prominent measures which have
marked tlie fine between parties during the late admin
istration. •■The defeat of Mr. Clay’s land biU ” “the
removal of the public deposites,” “the refusal to rechartcr
the bank,” are nil put before the special object of their
ini vion, "the specie eircidar.” They tlie n point fo tin’

we are happy to pcrcieve, because (ns the great mca-
*ure« for vhicli the President is doomed to suffer are
those which have received the highest sancti on which
the sovereign people of this Union can give, in the re
peated election of successive- Congresses, to conse
crate ill o by legislation, and successive Chief Magi*-
ratesto maintain tlietn by the Executive authority,)
•’.mtoulsory sieos by the meeting of New York mer- i
chants fo carry their will into effect, in contravention
of Coat of the nation, duly manifested through nil ite i
legitimate representatives, and according to all the
forms of the Constitution, might provoke some little
resistance. Whether the people will be content to re-
sign their principles, and revoke tlie public bets which
it has been their pleasure to command, and subse
quently to sanction by the strongest marks of appro
bation, when required to do it at the ballot box, ns a
measure of relief to the complaining party, is another
matter: They may acquiesce in the dictation of the
■whig merchants, if couched in moderate phraseology,
butweaic apprehensive they would not submit to
downright duress.
If wc must take Mr. Clay and his land bill, and Mr.
Biddle aud his bank, as the only expedients for redeem
ing the nation from tlie propensity of our merchants
to buy sixty millions more of imports than they provide
exports to pay for, then we acknowledge our obliga
tions to those gentlemen of New York, whose modera
tion lias suggested the propriety of obtaining the
blessings through the forms prescribed in the constitu
tion, and not through the revolutionary violence hint
ed at in the address, and so strongly inculcated in the
leading journals, under the patronage of those who
iiavc been distinguished as the principal actors in the
late movements.—Globe.
NEW-ORLEANS. May 22.
By tne airival of the Lady Hope, Amoux, on Satur
day, from Matamoras, from which place she sailed on
the 14th iust. we have received intelligence tl.at the
United States merchant schooners Cora, Leonidas,
Mechanic,Rob Roy. Porpoie Julius Ciezar and,Cham
pion, have been detained in that port by the Mexican
authorities. The crews and passengers of the two
latter have been landed, imprisoned, and report says,
tried and condemned for piracy. However, this latter
item is to be viewed with the greatest suspicion as it
is hardly credjhle the government of Mexico would
dare to commit such a flagrant outrage against tlie
law of nations, and the majesty of this country, as to
use her citizens after such a manner. At all events,
it is certain tlie crews of the two schooners have been
landed aud imprisoned, but whether or no they have
received the subsequent ill usage must remain subject
to considerable doubt until we receive further intelli
gence. Schooner Ellen was out side tne bar discharg
ing. The Texian schoonerof war Independence, Cap
tain Wtelright. had been captured by the Mexicans
and carried in Vera Cruz, after a severe contest, in
which her commander was reported to have been so
severely wounded as to put his life in danger.
The U. S. sloop of war Boston had heen cruising
off tlie Biassos from the 10th to the 12th inst vainly
demanding the release of the detained vessels. No
answer was returned to her demands by tlie authori
ties. and finally on tlie latter date, she sailed for Pen-
siicoln.
By the arrival of the Levin Jones from Tampico
vesterday, part of the intelligence brought by the La
dy Hope, namely, the capture of the Independence,
is confirmed. It appears she was taken by two Mex
ican men of war brigs after a most gallant and pro
tracted resistance. None of her crew were killed,
but several wounded, some severely amongst whom
was her commander, who, however, we are glad to
hear, is' in no danger from his wounds.
Between the Lady Hope and the Levin Jones, they
have brought about §100,000 in specie, which is a
very senaounble supply at this moment. Ere long we
hope fo see flowing in npon us from all side a suffici
ency of coin to satisfy all who may desire it.
A large amount of Government specie came down
the river yesterday to defray the expenses of the In
dian emigration. —
President Houston’s Message to the Texian Con
gress has been received at this office. He is of opin
ion that alllegislation ought to be prospective and for
tlie general good. The prospects of fine crops is allu
ded to with becoming gratitude to Divine Providence.
It seems that the agents to whom land scrip was issued
by law for tlie pnrpose of raising funds, have not been
faithful in their trust, and that in consequence the Trea
sury has been straitened for want of means. The sup
ply however has been cut off, and the attention of
Congress earncstl) called to tlie subject. The failure
of negotiating the’ Government bonds for five millions
is properly ascribed to the difficulties in onr money
market. It is urged on tlie Congress to remodel the
land laws. Hopes, he says, are entertained, that the
boundary between the United States and Texas will
be settled by tho treatv of 1819. Some dissatisfaction
is expressed towards the conduct of the United States’
agent in furnishiug tho Cnddo Indians with rifles and
ammunition. The conduct of the Mexicans in enga
ging with the northern Indians to furnish them 3000
warriors is regarded with just abhorrence. Tho Pre
sident congratulates Congress on the condition of the
army, and states that the annual expenses are $229,000.
lie advises an immediate and effective organization of
the navy. Great stress is put upon the prohibition of
the slave trade, and appeals are made to England and
the United States, to prevent the landing of Africans
in the country. It is hoped that the subject of annex
ation to tlie United States will receive the early atten
tion of our {Congress. The General speaks in high
terms of the wealth of the republic yet in embryo, and
alludes to immense forests of live oak with no little sa
tisfaction. A blinking is had towards Erglnnd, should
tlie United States look on thorn coldly. The Presi
dent recommends a liberal policy towaids citizens of
the United States holding lands within her limits.—.
If is Message is not long, well written, and concludes
with a strong hope that tlie Almighty Being will watch
over tlie Texian* and preserve and govern them as a

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS
OF THE BEN SHERROD.
The Natchez paper contains further particulars of
the deplorable loss of the Ben Sherrod. At the time
she took fire, she was engaged in a race with the
steamer Prairies; by raising her steam to its extreme
power,—a barrel of whiskey was placed on deck for
the use of the hands during the race, who di.ink to
excess and became intoxicated.
At about 12 o’clock at night the furnnneo became
so heated that it communicated fire to the wood, of
which there was on board sixty cords. When the
crew discovered the fire they all left their posts and
ran for the yawl without giving any alarm to the pas
sengers, who were all asleep in their berths- The
captain for a time attempted to allay the extreme con
fusion by stating that the fire was extingushed ; twice
he forbid the lowering of the yawl which was attemp
ted by the deck hands and passengers. The shriek
of nearly three hundred persons on hoard now ross
wild and dreadful. The cry was to the shore ! ane
the boat made for tlie starboard shore, but did notain d
it, as the wheel rope might have given way, or the
pilot been driven by the flames from his station. The
steam was not let off and the boat kept on. The scene
of horror now beggared all description.
The yawl which had been filled with the crew had
sunk, drowning some who were in it, and the passen
ger* had no other alternative than to jump overboard
withont taking even time to dress. There were ten
ladies on board, nil of whnm went overboard without
uttering a single scream, some drowning instantly, and
others clinging to planks—two of the number were
finally saved. Some of the passenger* are supposed
to have been burnt up on hoard the Ben Sherrod—
one man by the name of Ray. ftom Louisville Ky.,
hung to a rope at the bow of the boat, until taken up
by the yawl of the steam .boat Columbus which ar-
rrived about half an hour after the commencement of
the disaster,on her downward passage. Mr- Ray’s face
and arms was much burnt while clinging to the boat
iii tlie above position—he lost $'20,000 in Natchez and
U. S. pnper.
The steam boat Alton arrived half an hour nfter the
Columbus, but from the carelessness or indiscretion
of those on board, was the means of drowning many
persons who were floating in the water. She drove
into flic midst of the exhausted sufferers, who were
too weak longer to make exertion, and by tlie commo
tion occasioned by her wheels, drowned a large num
ber. A gentleman by the name pf Hamilton, from
Limestone county, Alabama, was floating on a barrel
and sustaining also a lady, when the Alton drove up
and washed them both under, the lady was drowned,
but Mr. Hamilton came up and floated down the river
fifteen miles, when he was taken up by the steamer
Statesman.
Mr. McDowell attributes the drowning of his wife
to the indiscretion of tlie managers of the Alton, ns
she was floating on a plank at that time. McDowell
sustained himself some time against tlie current, so
♦bat lie only floated two miles down the river, when
he swam ashore ten miles above Fort Adams.
Mr. Uundell floated down the, river ten miles aud
was taken up by a flat boat at the mouth of Buffalo
creek. He saved his money in his pantaloons pocket,
hut lost one thousand dollar* worth of freight Mr.
McDowell lost his wife, son, a Jady, Miss Francis Few
wlio was under his protection and a negro servant.
There were 235 persons on board, of which not
more than sixty escaped, leaving 175 drowned, inclu
ding the Captain's three children and his father., His
wile a as picked up by a flat boat badly burnt
LATEST FROM TAMPA BAY.
Day before yesterday (says the Jacksonville Courier
of the 18th inst.) we had tlie pleasure of a conversa
tion with Dr. Hashill, U. S. A., direct from Tampa
Bay. He left that post on Tuesday of last week, and
travelled through tlie country alone, without molesta
tion by the Indians. It is his opinion thnt the Indians
have all left the country about the Suwaneeand With-
lacoochec Rivers, and that they are in the neighbor
hood of Tampa—Lake Monroe, and Cedar Swamp.
“As to the number of Indians at Tampa, he thinks
it is impossible for any one to say correctly. They
occupy two camps—the one at the greater distance
/rom that post is 12 miles. Tlie chief*, Micanopy.
Jumper, Abraham, Alligator, Holatooche, Little Cloud,
&c. remain at these camps, and are using their efforts
to bring in their Indians. The Indians come in and
go out at their pleasure. They are timid and appre
hensive of foul play from the whites. It has bcen re-
ported among them, that when they are in, the whites
will seize them, put them in irons, thrust them on
board the vessels, &c. It is difficult to allay the sus
picions caused by such a report.
“Parties visit flic post to satisfy themselves of the sin
cerity of our troops, and being satisfied, go out to re
port to others. They draw rations, and procure ar
ticles of clothing. They say that their women an
children are naked, and that they cannot bring them
in till they have clothing lor them, and that they are
busy making up the materials they obtain, into articles
of dress. Maj. Graham, the Indian Agent, is of opin
ion that the Indians are making every preparation to
leave the country.
“Capt. Page stays at one of the Indians campe, to
give them confidence-=-and ; has himself full belief in
the present sincerity of the Indians. None have yet
been removed; considerable time will necessarily
elapse before they are ready for removal The Intii
ans judge others hy themselves, and they cannot th< re-
fore conceive how the whites can forgive the many
barbarities and murders, and the extensive depreda
tions and injury they have committed. If any people
had done the same to them and their settlements, they
could not forgive—and therefore they fear that when
they shall be in the hands of the whites, vengeance
will be wreaked upon them The Chiefs are already,
and the restare daily becoming satisfied, that they have
nothng to fear on such grounds. Dr. H also said he
felt satisfied that the Indians would not recommence
Hostilities—and if hostilities should be resumed, the
commencement would be some overt act on the part
of the whites. The policy of Gen. Jesup is to treat
the Indians kindly—to allay their apprehensions and
gain their confidence—and give them time and means
to make their necessary preparations for removal.”
The same paper says—“Mr- Cooley left Tampa
Bay two days previous to Dr. Haskill. He thinks the
great body of the Indians will be found about Cedar
Swamp, hostile as ever. He says that rations had been
issued to 300 Indians, and that when lie leftmost of
them had gone frem their camps. He thinks it doubt
ful if they return, and places very little confidence in
the professions of the enemy. He has cause of dis
trust them, for it will be recollected that they murder
ed his family at Indian river—and those who did the
deed, were, a* he supposed, friendly lo him, and re
ceived many favors from his and his family’s hands.”

SHOCKING BARBARITY—IF TRUE.
We understand the removal of the emigrant Creeks
has been let to the lowest bidder, and tliatihose unfor
tunate men, travelling on foot, are urged forward by
white savagesfou horseback, at a rate beyond human
ability! through swamps, briars and bushes—some
quite naked, apd, some nearly so, and without suffi
cient sustenance—and that numbers drop dead on the
way. What is our country ci ining to ? It is said those
men were allowed so much money to feed /he Indians
on their journey, but pocketed the best part of it!!!
So much for the CREEKS.
THE CHEROKEES.
Some of the Cherokee Chiefs are now in this city,
and report says that they have been to see the lands
appropriated to them over the Mississippi, and that it
is the mere retuse of government lands, being covered
with swamps and stagnant water, and that to settle
upon such lands would be certain death!
It is with regret we find the above article going the
rounds of the Eastern papers. So far from emigrating
Indians receiving the ill-treatment ret forth above,
they are mostly transported in steam boats, at least as
far as the navigation of the Arkansas river will permit
aud theu wagons arc hired for the transportation of
their baggage and provisions for their subsistence.
The usual days’ inarch is from 10 to 14 niilcs^—giving
them lime to hunt as they proceed on their journey,
aud often delayiug three or fourdays in one place. So
far as has come under our knowledge, there is not tlie
slightest cause of complaint to be made against the
conductors of parties which have already been re
moved to the west of Arkansas.
The remarks ip regard to the lands allotted for the
Cherokecs, is without any foundation in fact.— Having
travelled through a greater part of the Cherokee coun
try, we cau say with truth, that the section of land
allotted for the future homes of this tribe, comprises
the choicest part of the government lauds west of flic
cotton growing region-. The Cherokees who have
removed to the west and settled themselves, have large
farms, good houses, plenty of stock, and are everyway
better calculated to live comfortable, than are the most
of onr frontier settlers. There is oup other advantage
the Indians have iu their new country—that is, Jhey
raise the same quantity of grain here with half the la
bor that they could in the old nation. As reghrds the
healthiness oftheir new location, it is like other new
countries—more or less sickly until they have become
acclimated and accustomed to the change of |,watcr.
We do not believe that any of the Chiefs who have
visited the Nation west of Arkansas, have made any
such statements as published above, arid if they have,
it has been withont the least regard to truth.
THE CENTRAL BANK
It is to us, a source of sincere gratification, to ka v .
lived long enough to witness tho triumph of thUj.
stitulion over all its enemies; and we look back wj.lj
pride and exultation,’ to tne day, when wc strogcijj
iorits establishment, against the power and influ^
of wealth aud talent. _
After having been in successful operation for t ;.u
years past; after sustaining itself through that lo 5 n »‘
period under the most scrutinizing investigations ?,
now stands' firm in the enjoyment of public coofl.
dence. . N
Amid the convulsions which have shaken the cob
mere ill world for several months past, amid the a
tastrophe of Banks and the impending ruin whU.’
follows, the Central Bank of Georgia, has extends
her arm to relieve the wants of our fellow citizens.
In little more than two months, she has thrown into
circulation, the enormous amount ot six hundred
thousand dollars, iu loans to the people, in every
corner of the Siam, upon credit of twelve months «
the moderate rate of six per cent interest.
At a time like this, when all the other Banks of,),,
State are complledfto curtail their accommodations
ind when several have proved unable to redeem their
own Bills, who can estimate the distress which mm,
have pervaded the State, but for the timely aid if.
forded by this institution ?
But notwithstanding the lihoral distribution which
sho has made, she still redeems her bills, with Gold
and Silver, as fostas they arc presented. She res-
orts to no subterfuges to evade prompt payment, but
meets every demand, as it comes, in a manner well
calculated to increase the public confidence fo fo,
ability and integrity
Georgia should he proud of such an institution.^
It is the people’.* Bank, and they will sustain iu.
Those who hold her bills, feel and know that they Ue
as goods as Gold-and Silver, and when they lie down
at night, they are troubled with no apprehensions, jfo,
what was money the day before. Mill be worthless rig,
when they awake in the morning. No.*—The Bills 0 f
the Central Bank are money, and will continue to fo
money. They will do to keep, because they cannot,
and will not depreciate. They are now much sought
after by men who have money to lay up, because their
value is known. J
There is still an additional reason fo rejoice that such
an institution exists As limes grow harder fo r
means of relief grow stronger. In addition to the
six hundred thousand dollars which she h;.s already
dispensed, a like sum. will again be distributed, coni,
mencing in the month of August next; making in ifo
course of the spring and summer, twelve thousefo
dollars.
The benefits arising from the Central Ban!;, arc
manifest to the people ; they will stain! around and
sustain it as their own institution. It was not crea
ted fo feed and fatten speculators, bit: to answer the
purposes of the honest yeomanry of tlie country.
The ends of its creation have not been perverted,
and the people know it.
It stands in this awful day of panic and V.istre.s, in
the plenitude of its heneficience and it* strengtli.-
YVhileonr Banking institutions in every section of
the union,are giving way the Centra) Bank •*! Geor
gia remains solid and entire,
We say fo its friends, give it your confidence
and support, and to those who hold its bills, keep
them. Exchange them for nothing else, for t!(ey aw
good enough.—Standard of Uuion.

Melancholy Loss of Life.—We hnve to record a most
distressing oceurrrence, involving the loss of four
lives, that took place on Sullivans Island, yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Horatio Leavitt, his lady, two children,
and several relatives, were ou the Island, when Mr. L.
and liis family left the party, in a gig, to take a ride
along the beach. Between 5 and 6'oclock, a person
came down to the Point, with the horse and gig, and
gave the following statement: That while flslnng, he
discovered a horse, plunging iu the water, his head
only visible—rowing up to him, he drew him towards
the shore, and found a gig attached, and as it rose from
the water, several bodies floated from it. Whether
they were all recovered or not, wc could not ascertain,
but several gentlemen immediately started for tlie
place where the accident oncuied, (some distance a
bove the Fort) for the purpose of bringing them down
if they could be found. These particulars are all we
have been able to learn; and possibly may not be en
tirely correct; but believed to be so, essentially.
Mr. J.. was a gentleman of the most unblemished
reputation, mild and conciliating in his disposition and
highly respected—his lady, beloved by her relatives
and friends—and as a family, none more affectionate
and exemplary—none whose loss will be more deeply
lamented.—-Ibid.

Leavitt and Family.—In our statement ofthe distress
ing occurence of the death of this family, in yesterday’s
paper; we were not entirely correct in some of the
particulars. It appears that the negro who first dis
covered the horse, obtained the assistance of two young
men, iu a very short time, and that they drew out the
horse and gig, and got the bodies of Mr. L. and his
children on shore. Hopes were entertained for se
veral lionrs, that one of tne children could be resusci-
ated; and the most unrcmittcdexei lions were made by
number ofhumane individuals (among them some La
dies,) to effect that object, butin vain. Mrs L. was not
discovered until about 12 o’clock at night—after which
they were all placed on board a steam boat and brought
to town.—Ibid.

about 5 miles below Red River citt-oft'. spa struck a
snag, and in a few minutes sunk to her mam deck,
leaving her forward hatches just above water. The
principal part of her cargo, it is thought will be saved,
though in a damaged state, together, with her engine

hull can ever be raised, as flic river is nearly down to
low water mark. We are happy to learn that no
lives were lost.—JV. O. Bulletin .
