I ( *, ~The Legislature!* now expected to close on | • Saturday uext, after an arduous ami interesting ; , session. Subjects of great isniort'inee have been discuss- ( ed and decided. Tiie spirit of Intern'd Improve ( tpeat has been alive, and several important acts | have passed upon tli it subject the most prominent . , of which is the construction of a rail road from , , ..some point on the Chi'tahoochee, to Tennessee i | River.

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. I - FOR the standard of union. 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 shook] be appointed by the Governor, ami. 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 State. CHATTAHOOCHEE. i [ Commie nica ted. ] 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.

The Trustees invite the patronage ofthe pub lic, with the greatest confidence that the whole will be conducted in the most able and satisfac tory manner. The pleasantness of its location, its quiet and retired position, and the character ofthe community in which it is placed, combine to make this establishment a desirable and safe place of resort. 1 he manners, health, and morals will receive particular attention. Students from abroad may be accommodated with board in good fami lies, at a reasonable rate. The plan of instruction will embrace the stu dies necessary for admission into our Colleges, or useful to those intended for the active pur suits of life ; also the French and Spanish lan guages, Natural Philosophy, and the higher bran ches of Mathematics. The important and popularscicnces of Chem istry, and Natural History, will receive marked attention, and every effort made to render them interesting. .A department will be formed for any who may wish to qualify themselves for Teaching, and a course of Lectures will be delivered on the most approved method, of teaching and managing Schools. MRS. DARBY, who will take charge of the Department of MUSIC, comes recommended i»i the strongest terms, by one of the most emi 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. .-LA'd'G W>ll lie taught scientifically.
