We received by yesterday evening’s Express
Mail, Extras from the Constitutionalist, Chron
icle and Sentinel giving tin account of the Con
flagration in the City ol Augusta on the mor
ning of the 20th.
This morning about day-light our citi
zens were aroused by the tolling of bells and
the distressing cry ofFire ! It originated
(in all probability by accident) in an old
Cooper’s shop, about 80 yards below the
Planters’ Hotel, on the same street, and on
the square above M-Kenzie Bennoch’s
old stand, on Broad street. Before any i
force could be collected, it commenced
spreading with great rapidity in the direc
tion of Broad-street ; the houses on that
I square being all ot wood and very old and j
dry, its progress was not arrested until 10
o’clock in the morning, after having des
troyed all the buildings on that square and
about hall on the square above, on th?
same side td' Broad-street. After the flames
had consumed all the buildings on that
square and communicated to Barrett’s Drug
store on the square above, several houses
were blown up, both in front and in rear,
for the purpose of saving a large three sto
ry brick building on Broad-street, and the 1
Planter's Hotel. Both buildings were
doubtless saved by this step: together with
the active exertions ot the firemen ; and the
further progress ol the flames arrested. It
was with some diflicuhy also, that the wood
en buildings on the opposite side of Broad
street were prevented from taking fire.
Seventeen or eighteen houses on Broad
street, besides a large number of out houses
and some tenemen's in the rear, were burnt
down. The following is a list nf thesufler
ers who were doing business on Broad- s
street, so fur as we have been able to ascer- !
tain :
Moise Cohen, wholesale grocers,
Cooper &. Son, do. do.
B. Pyne, retail do.
Broadnax, do. do.
M. Nelson Jc Co. wholesale and retail do.
T. Roberts, Saddler.
Mallory &. Davis, clothing merchants.
P. M’Mahon’s coffee house and grocery..
E. Skinner, wholesale grocer.
G. B. & N. Holland, do. do.
A. Kemp, tavern keeper.
Tims. Barrett, druggist.
T. W. Freemau, jeweller.
G. G. &. J. Luke, shoes and hats. .
F. Spears, grocer,
Mrs. Ramsay, milliner.
A. R. Sumner Sc Co. tavern keepers.
In addition to these, many private fami
lies who occupied the upper tenements of 1
the store houses, were also burnt outof house
and home, together with a large portion of!'
their furniture and other property.
Large quantities of goods, principally i'
groceries, were destroyed by the fire after ''
being removed from the stores into Broad '
street. Most of| the merchants we under
stand were insured to some extent, and some '
of them to the full extent of their losses.
All |the buildings destroyed were con
structed of wood, and the flames could not '
have been arrested so soon, but for the fire- !
proof construction of the brick building al- 1
hided to abeve, occupied by Rail Bos-j
tick as a dry goods store. Fortunately i
the morning was very calm, or else there is
no calculating the extent of the mischief.
As it is, the loss may be estimated at per- 1
haps 150,000 dollars.— Auer. Sen.

A PLAIN VIEW
Os the Central Bank—Surplus Revenue—
Internal hnprovtment.
The Central Bank was founded in wis- !
dom and necessity, and the soundest results ;
;of experience have confirmed its great ad-1
vantage and utility, it has only to combat
self interest, and prejudice, with which may j
be doubtless mixed some patriotic anxiety,!
las to its dangerous tendency. But I would
ask in candor, of those opposed to it, what!
they would substitute in its place to obtain ■
indispensable ends, viz : the security of the*
j public funds, and the support of the govern
meat ; a certain capital, and a certain in- j
1 come. It is thought by some, to be a dan- ’
gerous institution, that it may be wielded '
as an engine of great political corruption,
ah ! of injury little short of destruction it-j
self. This is indeed too plausible to be!
true 1 It is in faet no further true than that!
all general good involves some partial evil;
in its fain. The same may be said, and!
as truly said, of any Bank, of Rail Roads,
Factories, or any other corporate monopoly;
just such mischief was deprecated a few
. years ago in the establishment of Factories,
and yet in their neighborhood, honesty is
! still considered a virtue, and the anticipa-!
ted evils which were to grow out of them
have,been forgotten. As respects the Cen- j
• ral Bank, some objects may sometimes be I
attained by its instrumentality, improper in !
themselves, and in an indirect way, possi
bly ; and just as probably some great good;!
and the manner and the tendency then be-I
c nines the only objection. But the Central '
E’ink can no more destroy the liberties of
th is State, orcontrol the sentiments of the j
people. than the United State’s Bank could
tho te of the United States, and that, mista- I
I kitsg'politics for its interest, could never
with all its power and means, succeed after- '
wards in any thing, save the certainty of dee \
strsnjing itself. This great evil and great
dan.geris all chimerical; facts, events, and
public observation prove it so ; the premi
ses aie wrong; the people cannot be cor-I
. ruplea' by the petty open lions of the Cen
tral Ba nk, they are above its price, above
' its inlltvnces.
I But t* '• Central Bank is not perfect, it is
j very much the contrary, and its abolishment
! woidd be preferable to its continuance on I
the perfect plan. It requires various im i- :
j dental amendments in its internal goverti
: inent perhaps, of which I could suggest lit
tle not known to all, but especially its plan,
character, and policy, should
changed and remodelled. It should be as
it trul v is, a State institution, and so arrayed
as to difiiisc substantially more general ami
individual justice to the country. To ef
j sects these objects, the Legislature should
!in a new organization of the Bank, make
I the following improvements :
| Ist. The Legislature should establish
| branches at important central points in the
State, continuing the mother bank nt Mil
ledgeville, which points for branches should
be especially designated.
2d. The interest should be raised to 8
per cent, and the bank and its branches al
• i lowed to do business on banking principlee
; say at least to issue double its capital, and
to discount bills to the same amount, im
, mediately between its annual apportion
ment.
3d. Ihe Bank should loan for twelv
months, subject to 20 per cent reduction
"hon due, and all notes not paid or receiv
ed within some specified time after due, say
!30 bo—or 90 days, should be sued on in
! discriminately, nor should any note be re
newed after this extra indulgence lias pass
| ed.
Let us reason a little on these three pri
mary changes. I will presuppose that the
Surplus Revenue be added to the Central
Bank, and to which might be judiciously
added the State’s shares in other Banks.
I will suppose too, that Internal Improve
ment is worthy ol herself, and will be much
better carried on by public companies in
general works, than by tin 1 interference,
guardianship or supervision of the State,
were it proper and even just for her towards
the people, to risk her capital. I contend
it is not right, and as a citizen, protest
against it.
As the public funds now stand, all the
taxes being given to the counties, and like- '
ly always hereafter to he, the State spends
some 60 or 70 thousand dollars more than
its income, in yearly average, this is a
drawback on the Central Bank principal,
i. e. State capital, and in 8 or 10 years the
whole capital will be exhausted, and once
proml and rich Grorgta must beg her wav
at your door with her tax assessor. Re
model your bank as here proposed, and
your State can yet, and ever be, indepen
; dent at least. Pass now Uncle Sam’s!
lapse legacy, put it in a trunk awav yonder
about the Nickajack caves, and the Stone
Mountain, and your State will die the death
of the righteous, faith and works complete,
and these I predict, will be the end of it !
Where’s my share,? perhaps the cats have
got it : at best, it is where I did not want it,
I preferred my horses and hogs footing it
from Tennessee, to being drove by steam !
Remodel your Bank with branches, and
universal and perpetual as the dew of hea
ven, will be the blessing to all as lasting in
its duration, and evidently more certain in
its results, than the Ri.’il Road contingen
cies, and this tho’ they end in probable re
ealils. Nineteen twentieths .4’your citi-!
zens neverborrow money from the Central |
Bank and never will, many do not want it, !
many cannot get it if they did, and many
hardly know the various requisites neces- j
sary to get it ; all have an equal right to it,'
ami interest in it, give them then and their
chilhren their moiety of its interest at 8 per
cent. This rate of interest they pay, and !
constantly pay on their own debts ofien !
more, never less; they require this in
come to themselves from those who borrow
ZAe/r wtoney from the Bank: they will be
satisfied with this, and not without it, they
demand it as an act of sheer justice, and
there is no good reason why they should I
not get it. The Central Bank at pres
ent does a large business on drafts, in
in the interim of its annual apportionments,
this is confined almost entirely to Milledge
ville and its neighborhood, the State should
| enjoy this generally, which it would do by
I the establishment of branches. 1 will not
| say how many branches there slioul 1 be,
or where located, but there should not be!
less than four, with the mother bank five—
■ say one to each two judicial circuits, as near
i as may be, the proper capital for disburse-
! ment assigned to each, located in towns of;
respectable size and business, and as near-
■ ly central to capital and country as possi
| ble. They should be allowed too, to do a
I proportional exchange business, which the !
country, generally, is beginning to prac
tice and need, and which the mercantile
; class in the small towns, as well as the large,
and in the country too, now frequently re-
I quire and call for. Whilst, then, the large
towns have their various banks and con-
I stant accommodations in some way, so ako,
i through the extension of the Central Bran
ches, might bank facilities be made availa
ble to all, advantageously to the State, and
safely to the people. Your funds would be
as safe at five or six places as at one, Alii
i ledgeville; on calculation it would be more
i so. As to expense, there would be some
' increase, this, however, would be much
more than compensated, if the p an propos
i ed, is the best otherwise. The enhanced
interest would much more than cover the
mere pecuniary difference, and no man
wants money for less than eight per cent,
who wants it at all. Three directors could
as well manage a branch, as three the moth
[ er bank, and situated where business and
! expense would, in most cases, be less, would
of course, be satisfied with a less salary. It
| is said and believed that the Central Bank
! makes good debts only, this may be so, but
II do not believe it. It is unreasonable in
i the nature of things; even good debts must
become bad ones when scattered distant and
I unavoidably neglected. The misfortune
! and defeat of the system is, that the bank
can never know whether they are really
! good or not; the bank only does not knotv
> that they are bad. 1 knew a man o.;ce to
I make a fortune (in bad debts) in the samel
: way! But the bank must necessarily neg
lect her debts; it cannot be otherwise, uu-
! der the best administration, and must ulti-i
mately lose considerable, not a small item of
I which is five [ter cent for collection.—;
i Strange indeed, that my money, (I claim
; my part as a citizen) should be lent out at
six per cent and five per cent given to get
back, if ever gotten. And much of it must ;
1 come this woy, even if you are not some-I
' times stumped with a County where slier-!
! ill's do not live and lawyers never travel!—j
I The present institution has to do too much,!
more than it ever could or ever will do. It
is presumed to be omniscient; to have a
knowledge of its individual, general, entire
debts. Itcannotdo it; the end of all things
j will prove it. Remodel your bank with
branches and this would be avoided, at least
very mtieh Your branches could
and would always make good debts; they
would know them to be such; they would
have a positive knowledge of persons, their
I circumstances and changes; they would b<
I situated to receive or compel punctual re
-1 m wals, or immediately to prosecute failures,
a thing your single bank can never do, be
cause it never knows when the necessity ex
ists. The expense to the borrower too,
would be much lessened ; so much so, that
. it would be his intere.it to borrow at a branch
THE STAND AM OF UNION?
'convenient to him, at eight per cent, rather I
than go to Milledgeville, at six. All the ob-|
I jcct of the bank, all the interest of the State,
all the convenience, interest and rights of
j the people require and demand this change.
! Now summing up the advantages, which
I are in the highest drgree important, certain,
plain and practical, your bank and public
unds would be improved,
Ist. In retention, continuance and in
crease of capital ami income.
2d. In a general participation of its ben
efits by all of the citizens.
31. The system perfected by general
punctuality once a-year, the convenience
i ami satisfaction of the people consulted ami
i secured, the beginning ami the end simpli
j lied, and brought horn 1 to the e.anpreh.cn-'
i sion ad knonwledge of al I, Sic. See.
Under such an arrangement, politics!
I should be n utral, liberal —at least, shared, .
in making officers; say that; the i

theothertwo directors each by the Senate
and House of Representatives, respectively,
or otherwise, as thought best.
The Surplus Revenue —Internal Improve
ment.— lf the wiseacres of the new school
cannot do their best without help, then give
them, on some fair ami Ijbcral terms, one-j
fourth, oncjtbird, or one half of the Surplus!
for Rail Roads, but not more. Continue!
your tax to the counties, raised or lowered,!
as occasion requires; they mostly need it;!
let them make their necessary improve
ments, they know all about them; their
’■ye, their heart, their purse is upon them.
This is the right kind of Internal Improve
ment, and by the right means do this, and
do not, for heaven’s sake, seize on the whole
of uncle Sam’s beneficence, and by a scram
ble of consolidated interests, am! by a com s<
of speculative prodigality, mostly in the
noon, which has dishonored the State for
he last thirty years; sacrifice, a! once, al!
the known resources and support of the

FOP. THE STAXIIARO OF UXIOS.
Cor.. Taos. Hawes:
U bile the Representatives of the people arc
debating about tliejinode in which the surplus re
venue shall be expended, and deriving many im
provident, and 1 tear, impracticable schemes, lor
the internal improvement of the State, permit me
through your columns, to call their attention to a .
sii :j< e; of, perhaps miuur importance, but bom
which more substantial and immediate benefits are
likely to result to a largo portion of tile people of I !
the State.
No one can be a warmer advocate of la:?. ; I
In.provement by the State Governments, than ;
tile ivritei of this article, provided the plans pi epos- ! i
ed are uot wild and visionary, aud if completed !!
of doubtful utility to die people. j ,
But our first care should lie to iufoim those
means ci intercommunication and commerce I
which nutui'e has spiead before us, aud the perfec- j
tion of which for till tbe purposes of commerce,
aud be effected by tbe aid of a little time and mo
ney—j allude to the Rivers and navigable streams
o! the State, many >f o a ..are •..■ e: •<> flow
on in tbui wild and obstructed courses, untouched
by the hand of improvement, anti instead of bless
ings, are curses to the people. 1 know that the ;
objections to the improvement of our water cour
ses, by appropriations are almost iiinumvrable,
but not unanswerable; and it might be suflicienl
to observe that they h tve arisen from the careless
anti unguarded manner, in which money has here
tofore been appropriated for this purpose, and
from the improper objects selected by our Kepre- '
sentatives as which it has been expended.
The evderienee of the past, will en title us to '
guard against impo isioits and abuses, and it is high !
that the attention of the Legislature tvas called to
this subject. The Flint and Chatahonchee rivers, ,
appropriations from tho last Legislature, w’ ieh ,
are now in a course of successful and 'trofitable
ppi.. .. :i to the improvement of those ;
and as far as it can be effected by the sums bestow
ed, we have every reason to believe that they will '
be tendered perfectly navigable.
There are others tx hich claim the bounty of the 1
Legislatiue, and from which ii bestowed simular 1
result must inevitably follow. Among these, now <
deserve greater consideration than the leh-a-way
notch-i-way.
This stream rises mi l flows through the finest
cotton growing cuuitry of rhe South, an.l is un
equalled by any other section of the state.
It is the theatre to which a gieat portion of tbe
capital and in a few years its importance and pro- ■
ductions will not be surpassed by any region east *
of the Mississippi. A considej aide portion of this '
country, is remote from market, and without anv
communication with the navigable streams of tbe
Chattahoochee and Flint except by waggons.
An appropriation of $2,501), wottiil make the
Icli-a-way-notch-a-way navigable for forty miles
above the junction with the Flint, and remove
the greatest obstacles to the advancement & pros
perity of one of the most productive portions of
the state.
It would conferan immediate and direct benefit I
upon a large portion of the people of R andolph, j
Bakerand Early, and afford an inlet for the pro- ;
duction of eight hundred thousand acres of the
best cotton lands in Georgia.
It is now submitted whether to effect this great ;
object, the small sum asked will not lie given by a !
wise and discriminating Legislature? while millions
tire asked to cut down mountains and fill up val- I
lies, will this right be denied to the Farmers ofthe '
South ? 1 trust not.

nent French professors of Music, as to her
knowledge of the subject, and her complete
success in teeching it tinder his inspection.
This subject will be attended to, not merely
as an accomplishment, but as a science, and pu
pils sufficiently advanced will pay particular at
tention to the principles of Musical composition.

of perspective will in all cases be taught and be I
required to be understood by pupils previous to I
Painting, as nojust pretensions to a knowledge !
of this delightful scicnct’ca;) be claimed by one
ignoiantof the mathematical jtrineipk; on which
it is founded.
Ma. Darby bjjngs with him a first rate Cliem
cal, Philosophical and Astronomical apparatus ;
and a cabinet ofMiiieralogical and Geological "
specimens, equalled by no cabinet in any simi
lar institution in this Sfate. The instruments
for experiments ou Galvanism, and the recently
created and vastly important sciences of Elec- i
tro Magnetism, and Thermo-Electricity, ate |
comnlele. I
Jlncli expense has been incurred in thus pla
cing our Institutions in the first rank as toad

them a liberal p itronage, which they will richly
deserve.
