The President as to these, appeared to tie bot« blind aud deaf. He disregarded their ad monitions. continued in a policy which public ,entimeut had loudly condemned Surely his craft iness has been overrated, or he has lost some of his former skill. The si jus of the disunion and disorganization of his own party, cannot be misunderstood; but he persists “calmly and lirndy” in a course which only threatens distinction. Has he not then been ejre<Hously overrated for his sagacity, overrated for his talerits, overrated for his patriotism ! Unless we have sadly mistaken the signs of the times, he and his party will be over-ihrown by that people, with whose rights he has trifled, and whose in terest he has neglected. They have already withdrawn their confidence from him, and if he continues as he has doue, to make no attempt tn regain it he is lost beyond a fie rad celt use.

Ex £)l CSd • Baltimore, Aug. 14. The Resumption. —Yesterday was the period fixed lor the general resumption of specie pay ments by the Banks m a majority of the States.— Iu Baltimore the transaction was one of perfect calmness—the event having been in a very great measure anticipated by the payments in coin which all tiie Banks have be tv, more or less, ma king for some time past, in the redemption of their owii notes rtud those issued by the City Corpora tion. lu fact, silver coin lias been at par for a week or ten days past, and numbers of those who have been hoarding their quarts and half pecks of silver change, since the suspension, have been bringing it again to light, glad to relieve themselves of the anxious charge of its safe keeping. Many dt those hoarded stocks have already found their way tor the Batfks, and we have uo doubt that the resumption will have the eliect of making these institutions richer in coin than ever. The prima ry cause of the case with which the resumption has beeu effected—preceded and attended, as it litis been, with little or no inconvenience to thebu sinots community—is the judiciously liberal and prudent manner iu .which the concerns of the Banks have been administered since the suspen sion. The monetary atfairs of our city, were never in a more sound and healthful stare, and they only require the faithful exercise of the same good judgement to keep so. With the return of specie payments comes the restoration of confi dence, and attendant on the latter will be the revi val, in due time, of the trade and commerce- of tire country to their former activity aud prosperi ty.

Resumption of Spent Faynupis. —The Banks of this city, and we may safely say, tit tire State, till resumed the payment of Gold and Silver for their notes yesterday, pursuant to the requisition of Governor Kittier’s Proclamation. The only paper issues now in circulation in this .State, and not cotivertibfe into specie at the place whence is sued, are those of the National Government. There w as nothing like “a run” upon the Banks for specie. The calls were most numerous at the United States' Bank The reused of that is found in the fact that the city certificates of Joan —that is small Vills. are now redeemable in specie at that Bank. The whole amount drawn out ofthe Bank was about dollars —a portion of which was for city certificates. Hije jndivitlmd drew out one. hundred dollars in specie, hut finding it heavy and cumbersome, came hack before he had got fairly into the street, and asked for a hundred dollar bill in exchange for it. What a “monster!” Public Land Sale. —The Alabama Montgome ry Advertiser contains the following : ” Notice is given in the “Globe.” by proclama tion ofthe President ofthe United .S rates, that a public sale will be held at the Land cilice in this city on the 29th of October next, for the disposal of the lands heretofore reserved from the sale for the use of the military pest at FT Mitchel, to wit; Fractional section 24 and 2(5, and parts of scc tons 22, 23, 27, and 2A iy fiactional township 16, of range 20, east. The sale is to be kept open two weeks, if the lands should not sooner be disposed of, and no private entries to tic admitted until tile expiration of that time.

We copv the following from thp Cassvillc Pi oneer of J uly 21. Alluding to the Western aud Atlantic Railroad, that paper says : “\\ e rejoice.to w itness the rapid advancement of tilts’ magnificent enterprise—but a little? more that* a r ear has edapsed, since the commence ment c.f the surveys.

We have not had a rain in this neighborhood in 12 or 14 weeks scarcely sufficient to lay the dust; and from what we can learn from other sections«f the State the drought is equally as had. The Chattahoochee is so low at this time, that our Devil says “a body might wade across it on dry land !” We understand that the Macon Banks will re. sume Specie payments on the first of October next. The Columbus Sentinel says, “We are gratified to announce that the Banks of our city will resume specie payments on the Ist of October. This in formation we have from a bank otiicer, and it may be relied upon ” It is said the ship Celia, recently arrived at Sa vannah from New York, brought about SOOO,OOO specie for the Bank of the State of Georgia and her Branch, located in the city of Macon. HARD TIMES. This is, and has been the cry of every one for sometime.—The farmer exclaims, “hard times!” the merchant complains of “hard times!” the me chanic and laboring class of every kind say •“hard times!” and even the poor Printers feel, see and are compelled to cry out in the bitterness of their souls “hard times! liarJ times!!” Mouey is scarce, .Did debts in abundance, aud no opening presents itself by which the pec-pie are likely to escape the misery which stares them in tire face. The great inquiry which has for sometime pre sented itvelf is “who are the authors ol all this distress, all this mischief?” To any one who is at all acquainted with the manner iu which the Gov ernment oftlm United States has been conducted, the question ii uot at all difficult of solutiou, and we hesitate not iu saying, without fear ot success ful contradiction that tiie sin lies at the door of the General Gov irnineut, lor it is a fact, which can not be coutrovertixh that before Gen. Jackson com menced tinkering with the currency, .this country was in a state of prosperity and happiness—he found “this people happy and prosperous,” aud lejt them with misery and distress brooding over them, and he, who so faithfully promised to “walk in tiie footsteps of hrs illustrious predecessor, hastened it on with the swiftness of the lightning’s flash, and the people have nothing to expect from his hands. But how, so.uic one may ask, who is ready totake up the cudgel in defence ol the past and present Administrations, can it be that Gen. Jackson or Martin \ an Bureii is the author ot ad this distress ! The question is as easily answered as asked, and just as easily proven, if facts and circumstances ta ken in connection can prove any thing. And what art? the facts of the case 7 In the first place, Gen. Jackson determiiv and, righr or wrong, consti tutional or unconstitutional,” to .remove the depo sitesof the General Government from the Bank of the United States, and used the m >st arbitrary and despotic measures to carry out that determination, aud placed the funds ol tire Government iu the hands of a few favorite State Bank:*, generally and properly denominated Pet Batiks, tyhich Itad the use of the money, and to all intents and purposes the endorsement ofthe Government t<4 their paper. With the Government to back tliei.o then, they commenced expanding their issues, atd the other banks not to be behind the favorites in business, followed their example, money consequently be came plenty—every thing *ose to ;,il extravagant and enormous rate—a spirit of speculation took hold of the people; an inordinate desire to in crease their coffers seized the breasts of many, and they rushedfreadlongand with impetuosity in to th« vortex of speculation. Government lands were tiien in market, and fw>e prospects presented themselves to those who were in the favor of the Batiks, and could receive large accommodations from their hands, to “raise the wind, and they entered heedlessly and blindly into the piatter; finally, came the Spedie Crrci&n, demanding all payment of Government dues to be made in spe cie ; then commenced the run upon the Banks, they had over issued on the credit of the Govern ment-—their money was out—and it poured in upon them in order to procure specie to buy Government lands—the Banks became alarmed, and not without a cause—every dollar of their specie was threatened to be immediately drained from their vaults, and they wefc compelled to discontinue '.tiefacilities the mercantile comma- uity had been accustomed to receive at their hands. Business consequently became defauged, aud the banking institutions were finally driven to the dis agreeable necessity of suspending specie pay ments. These are facts, kuown to all, and “facts are stubborn things,”—who dare gain say them ! A great hue and cry is uow raised against the Banks, aud all the blame for the distress is cast at them, tufa all the burthen attempted to be thrown on their shoulders. This is done by some who do not take the trouble to examine into the matter aud trace the evil to the fountain head; who do uot consider that the Banks, as well as the natron, have been cramped by the willful, arbitrary and despotic mismanagement of the General Govern ment. Others, (and they are not a few,) who are aware .of all the facts and circumstances of the case, hurl their anathemas at the Banks, and en deavor to make them the scape goats to bear off the sinsi.f the guilty, for the purpose of diverting the attention of the honest yeomanry ofthe coun try from the corrupt source from whence has ori ginated all this mischief,—yes, for a few crumbs from their master’s table, they fawn and whine a ro.und, and labor incessantly, day and night, to delude and deceive the unwary and unsuspecting, and iu this work they have been but too successful. Hut we do rejoice that the “scales are beginning to drop from the people’s eyes"—from every part, East. West, North and South, the joyful tidings come that the people have broke the fetters of ig uoratree with which they have beeu bound, the de lusion is being w iped from their eyes, raid the pow ers of corruption are compelled to give back.— And if the people would bo relieved from this distress, if they would rid themselves of these hard times, if they would again have happiness to dwell in their domicils, if they would have pros perity to crown their every effort, this glorious work of reformation and regenetation must go on “conquering and to conquer,” until it reaches the inmates of the great “white house” at Washing ton, and performs its office upon them. Then, and not till then, need the people look for re lief from their present deplorable condition—lor so long as the misrule and corruption which is practised at Washington receive the countenance of the people aud is suffered to exist, so long will our prospects be blighted aud our most ear nest efforts nipped iu the bud by their withering and untimely blasts. And how will Georgia act when the day ar rives for her to express herself through the ballot box 1 Wirt she epeak in n voice that will cause those who would have trampled her dearest rights under their feet, and again expose her citizens to the deadly aim of the savage rifle, and the bar barous effects of tiie scalping knife, to startle up as though some unearthly sound had saluted their cars? Or will she kiss the rod which has hither to chastised her for her want of loyalty to the little “Prince of Kiuderhook?” Will she send men to Congress who will point the “Little Magician” to “ Tekel" written upon the wall against him? Or will she send those who would bow and cringe to Executive domination; who would exert every nerve to wipe away that “hand writing” which is too plain to be misunderstood? We look for ward with anxiety to the day, with tiie hope that Georgia will be redeemed and disenthralled en tirely from the car of one who would destroy her peace, happiness and prosperity. The Columbus Sentinel and Herald has chan ged from the hands of Messrs. Iverson & Webb into those of J. P. FI. Campbell and J. L.

The Southern Recorder of the 14th ult, says, “Major Joel Crawford, one of the Commission ers of the Rail Road constructing by the State, has returned from the North, where, we are hap py to learn, he has successfully accomplished th£ objectof his visit, which was to dispose of the State bonds. Major Crawford lias obtained the half million of dollars authorised by the Legisla ture, we understand at tiie rate of five per cent.— I but by judicious arrangements, the interest ot the first year wiil probably not exceed four per cent.” the STRANGER’S FEVER. The Charleston Courier of the 21st ult. says, “No other consideration but that of the most se vere im:isposition on the part of the editor ol this paper, for about ten day’s past, which brought him t,o Death’s door, would possibly have prevent ed him from previously announcing that the Stranger's Fever is now prevailing in this city, to sqme extent, and from the great number of per sons now residents here who are subject to its at tacks, we conceive it a duty the City Authorities owe to the people whom they govern, to .adopt such measures as may preserve the health of such as have not been attacked, pnd caution strangers not to visit ns until informed that they can do so without peril. We have held no consultation with any one on this subject. We have no desire to become alarmists, but we call on the Board of Health to aver or cqntradict this now current re port.” yOR THE GEORGIA MIRttOR* Messrs Editors— Iu makiug the remarks which I did in your paper touch.qg tbe qualifications ol members for the Legislature, 1 thought here was ,“ta man in the whole county but would under- Ma„d mv allusions, but, it seems, that in this I have been mistaken, as I perceive ,n your last pa per that a MrJfexAnkle, who protesses to be a Union main and calls on me to explain myself aud specify those intended t,J> Rox" Ankle must indeed, live a “long way from the raid," if he does not understand to whom X made reference, for in the conversations which I have heard among all parties, it was well under stood who the caps fit. And, Messrs. Editors, I am constrained to express my regret that Box An kle, who appears to be disposed to act honestly and fairly in political matters, should be so sadly dis appointed in the patriotism and intelligence of the candidates of the U nion party, and if his party, in the county from which he came, An nominating candidates take into consideration the qualifica tions of those they nominate, it is more than can be said forthose who made the nomination lor the Uniou party in this county ; but I think it may be said injustice to the grsat body of the Union par ty of Stewart, that they had no hand in tire nom ination, for if I mistake not, the nouiinaliofi was made by a few who set themselves up as leaders of the party, in a CAUCUS held at Lumpkin, and who seut the edict forth, proclaiming that "these are the candidates of the Union party, and he that refuses to support these candidates is a TRAITOR to his party.” Such is virtually, the language of KING CAUCUS,—and such dictation and de nunciation by a few who PUSH themselves for ward as LEADING CHARACTERS, in a free country where every mail by the Constitution aud laws of the land, stands on an equality, I have al ways considered intolerable, for it is virtually ta taking away the privileges of the people. And I venture to predict had the nomiuation been made openly and independently, at a tinre when the voiced the pnrtv could have been heard, and not by-a few in SECRET CONt LAA’E, one, at feast of the present ticket would not have beeu nomina ted. Bat to the inquire' of Box Ankle T would an swer that the candidate who REFUSED to go on a TEN DAY’S tour to fight the Indians, and en deavored to PREVENT OTHERS FROM GOING, aud who intended to STAY AT HO3IL AND MAKE CORN, is none other than the cau date of the Union party for the Senate; and hd too, is the mighty man who asserted iu public, “IF YOU PUT DOWN DR. CATCHINGS YOU PUT DOWN THE UNION P.iRTY, (I fold the Troup party when Nullification first cam?about, gentlemen, YOU GO DOWN AND 1 SEE TO IT.” What a powerful man! surely the Union party have much to lese if they put down this redoubtable Don Quixote. And here I would barely remark that had it not been for these ten day's services, the Indians would have done in calculable damage to the sectiou of Stowart coun ty bordering on the river. The candidate of the Union party for Repre resentaiive, will do well enough to fight Indians, aud so far as he is concerned in that matter I will do him all the justice his services demand, and I believe it may be said with truth, he was not like the gentleman who runs on the ticket with him, but always ready to meet the enemies of his country ; this is all for which I can give him cre dit —and I ara convinced lfe is not eg'olist enough to .consider himself competent to discharge tbe duties of a Representative, although he did and could fight Indians —ftVr if Indian fighting qualified a man for such service, iStevart county lias a number that might with equal pro priety urge their claims. J have insinuated he could not draw up a bill himself or read it after it w as drawn up, and this his warmest supporters w ill not pretend to deny. He may, 1 will *dmit be a ableto mumble it over, and afttr teo long n time make it out,—but this Ido not cati teadifig, it is necessary a man should read somewhat fluently to be said that he can read, but when a man loft to ■spell every word which contains more letters than a monosyllable, it cannot be said that he can read. And the candidate himself is fully convinced of his incompetency, for when he returned home last winter he asserted positively that he never would become a candidate again. I have, ] hope, answered Mr. Box Ankle’s ques tions “ without the least equivocation,” and what I have said can be substantiated by the most re spectable authority. PAN HANDLE. The Apalachicola Gazette of the 16th ! has the following: “We learn from a passenger on the mail boat that great alarm exists among tiie people living on tbe rivet between this place and the Chattaho chee, in consequece ol thc refugee Creek Indians, who escaped th c Vigilance, of our worthy Governor some three months since, having made their ap pearance in their neighborhood. We also learn that Capt Isaac Brown with a de tachment of eleven men, made a scout for them a lew days since and came upon them w hilst engaged in destroying tiie furniture of a Mr. Roan, who re sides a few miles below Oeheese. There being 50 or €0 ofthe Indians, Capt B. deemed it imprudent to attack them, and consequently they were left to pursue their course of destruction and desolation with impunity. . We were pleased to learn that Capt. Brown will ptobably have command in the expedition which is to be made against them, as his military reputa tion is such as to inspire us with confidence as to the result. . We presume it is useless to ask when the people of Florida will he relieved from the unpleasant visitations of these lawless marauders, as that is a problem which, from present appearances, would seein more difficult to solve than was the great 47th Euclid. ' t On Monday last, a party of Indians were trailed, and so closely pursued by a small party of Gads den troops, under Capt. Withers, as to be compel led to abandon their plunder, to make good their escape. The whites numbered but about twelve, and the Indians, supposed about thirty or thirty five. Seventeen packs were taken by the troops, and found to contain principally the plunder taken from the house of Mr. Roans, on the Apa lachicola, about three miles below Carnoghau s plantation. Mr. Roan, bring informed by Ins ne groes of the contemplated attack of the Indians, succeeded in making his escape with his family across the river. In one of the packs fount i coat recognised as belonging to Mr. Laslis, recent ly murdered ou the Ocklockonee. Cap . i ers’company had been ordered by the Governor to repair to Smith’s Island, for the capture of a party of Creeks known to frequent that place— They have fled, however, before the arrival of our troops, and are no doubt the party pursued. Xdeir course appeared to be South-east, am K likely intercepted by the Gadsden troops w 10 r centlv Jeff Quincy.
