cal excitement, if he were removed he has influ
ential friends” In a word the correspondence
exhibits such varied and systematic corruption,
that Mr- Mercer, a gentleman of great mildness
and moderation of feeling, said in his place :
‘•That lie would undertake to say, that a more
scandulous correspondence he had never listened
to m his life, than that which had taken place
between these men and the Secretary of the Trea
sury : and he was prepared to sustain an impeach
ment of that officer whenever it should be moved
in the House.’
The document contains some 400 pages, and
was so adroity confused and jumbled together,
that its hideous developments escaped attention'
entiicly, until they fell under the lynx-eyed vision
of Mr. Wise. He penetrated the mass of seem
ingly unintelligible stuif, and reduced the chaos
to order. For his ardous labors iu this purlieu-*
lar, if he had rendered no other public service,
he would deserve, to use the emphatic and tauto
logical phraseology of Col. Benton, ‘-the eternal
perpetual and EVERLASTING” gratitude of
Jiis country.
The printing of the official document was re
sisted with great determination by the Adminis
tration forces—some declaring it “libellious”
others “erroneous,’’ and all shudering at the
thought of its reaching the public eve The

Washington, Jan. 13.
In the Senate, today, there was very little of in
terest. The morning hour was consumed in a
discussion ofthe great land question, which sprang
up on the presentation of the North Carolina joint
resolutions. In regard to this great subject, there
are almost as many thinds as m u in the Senate.
There has been much indignant comment upon
u sentiment expreesed by Mr. Kenton. He said,
that-the new Stales, sooner titan assent to the com
pact prop:; • : ;• 'it (’.dioitiu, or the >1 sr !> n.,.-,

TheCtimberl.itni Koad Bill cam-; up today, iu
the Senate. It appropi cttcs 40.000 dollars tor
continuing the road in the States cOhio Indi
ana and Illinois. Mr. Hubbard suggested that
the condition of the Treasury was such as to ren
der extreme econo ivy of expenditure nee • -.ary,
and he moved to reduce the appr ijui itiou one
third, which was agreed ro. Several members
urged the necessity of a sftll further reduction,
and Mr. King opposed the bill on principle. He
moved to strike out the enacting c! i i>.-. v
was agreed to—yeas 23, nays 22. So.t h;jj v,.
rejected. Mr. Wall, however, mn- :1 a
eration because the Senate was ; tin. t >.e ’
was reconsidered, and the motion to striv.- vt

The bill was ordered to be engrossed.
The House, last night sat till 11 o’clock, en
gaged upon the resolution to refer, to a select, om
miitee, the subject of the defalcation of 31 r.
iSwartwout. The motion to elect the committee
ay ballot, was agreed to—yeas 113, nays 105.
The committee, as chosen, consisted of Mr.
Harlan, of Kv. Mr. Curtis ot' N. V". Mr. Wise,
of Va. 31r. Elmore, of 8. C. Mr. Smith of Me.
Mr. Dawson of (la. Mr. Hopkins of Va Mr.
Ilubley of Pa. and Mr. Cushman of N. H- 8o
there were four Whigs, two (.’-.-rj-jervatives and
three Administration men, so; posing Mr. El
more to rank among the Inter.
In the House of Representatives, to-dav, Mr.
Elmore, who was chosen one ol the Committee
of investigation, rose and asked to be excused
from serving oh th ■ Committee for reasons which
he proceeded to gite. It was evidently ihe in
tention of the House so to constitute the Com
mittee as to represent its various political inter
ests, and he could not lie mistaken in the suppo
sition that he was chosen as one who was presum
ed to be a friend ol the Administration. Altho’
h*j had supported rlie Administration in some
points, and should continue to do so, as long as
he considered their course correct and proper, yet
he had not been and was not now, an Adminisira
tion man in the ordinary sense ol'tlie term. He
was in a position tree to take such a course on any
subject as he might deem proper, and he could
not properly be considered as owing allegiance to
any patty. It was a principle which he had uni
formly and from Ins youth cherished and acted
upon, that the government was entitled to sup
port in all cases where its acts and policy were
correct; but, if the opposition were put in power
tomorrow, he would sustain them to the sameex
■ m'and on the same principles. 31 r. E. added a
further reason, that his time was already engross
ed by i*->e duties of other Committees. Mr. Wise
opposed the motion for the excuse of Mr. Elmore,
and remarked that, according to his own showing,
he was not entitled to be excused. He had given
the best possible reasons why lie should not be ex
cused, viz. that he was a fair mail. He himself,
was in the opposition, and sympathized with the
opposition, but he would scorn himself, if he did
not feel capable of doing justice to the adminis
tration, if he thought them right. If the gentle
man irom South ( arolina was less prejudiced, he
was the more fit to serve on the committee.
The result was, that after a long debate, Mr.
Elmore was excused, yeas 118, nays !)5.
Mr. Cushman and .Mr. Ilubley. were then ex
cused on the score of other engagements.
I’he House baliotted for three more Adminis
tration men,butasthe Whigs and Conservatives ntn
one ticket and the Van Buren another, and as there
Were some scattering votes, so no one was elected.
When the result ofthe bullotting was announc
ed, Mr. Haynes of Ga. a friend of the Adminis
tration, who was voted for, rose and stated that a
number of ballots had, he perceived, been cast
lorliim. He respectfully requested those gentlc
/.rnen to turn their attention *o some other individ
ual, instead of hint, for he would decline serving
if elected. Mr. H. was called to order by Mr.
/Bell, who said that every gentleman voted for
niight he allowed to explain, if one could. The
Speaker stated that the gentleman would make a
mere explanation, but could not go into reasons.
Dr. Taylor, of New York, then rose and also re
quested that gentlemen would not waste time in
voting for him, for, if chosen, he would not serve.
Mr. Patton made a similar explanation. Several
ineffectual attempts were made to adjourn, and a
call ol the house was moved, bur rejected.
On tho second ballot, the opposition elected
Messrs. Taylor of N. Y. Martin of Ala. and Wag

excused, and the Hoy sc adjourned after much dis

FREE BANKING.
We congratulate the friends ofthe Free Bank
ing Law upon the favorable reception which it
has met with Irom the people, especially in this
part ol the Suite. It will ae seen, by reference to
the proceedings of a meeting held in this place,
ou the 25th, that the citizens are aroused upon
this matter, and we are happy to state that, not
v.itLsvandmg the inclemency of the weather on
t-iie day. tic . was a full house, of the real “bone
•Ls.iiew” oft country. The subject was ably
s : the favorable features ofthe bill pre
.u-d n.-,d the object.ouable parts cleared away
ami made plain,
As the bbi in its details is lengthy and sotne
vh u dilf: .i!t to be understood in all its features
u re men ts, and as it appears some errone
ous opiui ms have gone out iu relation to the mat
ter, it may not be amiss to discuss the subject, in
order drat tho community may be better informed,
and some of these false impressions corrected.
One of the objections to the bill is found in the
11 th section, whe.e provision is made, in case a
demand should bo made upon the bank for the
redemption of its bills in specie, and it
should not be able to meet the demand, that the
holder of' the bills shall have them protested for
non-payment, and carry them up to the Comptrol
ler and Commissioners, who shall, after 60 days’
notice, sell the bonds and mortgages of the stock
holders, or any or cither of them, for the redemp
tion of the protested notes. I'he objection seems
to be urged on the ground that the bonds and
mortgages of one individual stockholder may be
sold for the redemption of the issup in which all
the stockholders are interested, and under such
circumstances they dislike to go into an associa
tion as provided for in the iaw. And indeed, were
there no means left to guard against this innova
tion of one individual's rights, the objection
would hold good ; but those who urge the objec
tion do not consider that when they enter into an
association'for the purpose of banking, they can
secure themselves agaiust loss or injury, individ
ually, by articles of agreement between them
selves, which, as a matter of course, every asso
ciation must necessarily have. Under circum
stances like these, we conceive the objection must
cease to operate against the law.
Avery erroneous opinion lias entered the brain
of some few, which is something after this sort—
that after the property shall have been mortgaged
to the Staie, and the association ready to enter in
to business, that the State w ill advance the 25 per
; cent in specie, required by the law before the
1 Bank can go into operation. Os all the wrong im
i pressions which are afloat on this subject, none,
perhaps are wider from the mark than this, we be
lieve, however, there are but few who labor under
this impression. The State does not advance a
single copper to any institution; but each indi
vidual who shall enter into an association, must,
himself pay in 25 percent in specie, upon the cap
ital he invests, or the interest he has in the Bank.
Some, again, hare taken up an idea, that when
they shall have mortgaged their property, they
will be allowed to draw from the Bank money to
the amount of stock they may hold in the insti
tution. As for instance, A mortgages lands to the
State to the amount of 10,000 dollars, for which
he holds 3tock in the Bank to the amount of
5,000 dollars, the idea Is, that A can draw from
the Bank this $5,000 for which his property stands
pledged. But this is altogether ideal, and wc
are snre, upon a careful perusal of the bill, those
holding this opinion will find that the stockhol
ders can have no other privileges thau those of
other citizens in an institution of this kind, and
they will also find that if they draw money from
the Bank they will have to give the same security
and pledges as though they had not a single cent
invested in the ipatKylfon. Indeed were it other-

wise, t.he fatal consequences to the system and
country must be appur ut to all.
These are some of the opinions that appear to
be circulating among the people, which we be
lieve should be corrected, and hope those holding
them will not take our word for it, but will exam
ine the subject carefully and judge for themselves.
But someone, whose expectation has been rais
ed to the highest pitchy aud who, without consid
ering the certain and dangerous consequences of
such a system about which we have just spoken,
lia% i i imagination, rolled u all the luxury of
wealth, with his debts all pad, and a plenty to
spare, may be ready to ask, what inducement
then is there for me to invest nv property in the
Bank, it I may not be allowed to draw the amount
lor which it stands pledged ! Wc answer, tly
same as those have who cuter into the banking bu
siness under the old system—that you may real
ize the interest upon the amount invested. Only
the inducements are much greater under the new
system than they are under the old Because, un
der the old system you cannot u-. the meaus
which you invest iu banking 0,,1y for banking pur
poses ; but under the p e vy plan a man has the use
of his property just the same as if it had never
been mortgaged, end also draws the interest upon
it the same as other stockholders do, whu are en
gaged in the business under the old systen.
The advantages which the country will derive
from institutions properly established and ably
conducted under the new system, are incalculable
aud woftld alford a theme upon which we might
dwell for hours. As we have said before, we now
repeat, it will enable the planting interest to stand
upon lair aud equal grounds, by affording such fa
cilitSes as will enable them to realize the value of
their labor—it will have a tendency to do awav
with this shaving machinery which is uow in such
successful operation, so detrimental to the wel
fare aud happiness of tho country—besides afford
ing other laeilities and advantages which we mav,
at another time take occasion to notice.

GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE
This Institution seems to have opened with
the most flattering prospects. During the two
first weeks, one hundred and thirty-one pupils
were received—Bß in the College classes, and 43
iu the primary department. The present (which
is the third week) several have been received each
day.
Three classes ar© formed, called first, second
and Junior. The Faculty deem it expedient to
admit any into the Senior class until the begin
ning of the collegiate year, in Oct. next.
'1 he present prosperity of the College, has sur
passed our most sanguine expectation, aud is we
trust, but an earnest ol its future operations. The
number of pupils manifests the interest which ex
ists through th* State for its success. It is now
very certain, that there will be more than a hun
dred in the collegiate department.
We feel assured, that no school iu our State
affords equal advantages for the Improvement of
young Ladies. The same duties which in most
sellouts devo've on one cr two teachers, are here
divided amonga Faculty of able and efficient In
structors, some of whom are gentlemen of long
experience in teaching. We are satisfied that
solid instruction will not be neglected, for that
which is only showy aud fashiouable.
High hopes are excited in our community of'
its success, and we trust are not confined to the
locality ol the College. We are led to hope that
it may yet be the pritie of Georgia, and a Pioneer
m a system of Female Education, that here has
its foundation aud origin—which system, and
nothing short of which, would correspond w ith
the improvements of the present age of the vvm i.l.
Macon Messenger.
[We live in an age of moral and political im
provement, of experiments, humbugs, inventions,
overreaching, refinement in roguery cheating,
speculations and quackery. Among the last and
most important items on these points, we find
tw or three chapters in the New York Her and,
showing great improvement in the four business
— by which it would appear that a consid ruble
portion of that indispensible article, is often man
ufactured from human and other bones. Hoc.
far this improvement has gone in the article ot'o..u'

tain it is, ’hat wo would do well to look to if: prob
ably we have often gnawed a hone wfaeD we thou :ht
it a crust ofbread.—-But when we consume our
own domestic productions we know what we do.
The following is the closing part of the articles
in the Herald.] — Macon Mcsscngct.
From the ( N. Y.) Morning Herald.
Here, then, we see that both bread and jelly can
be made of bones. Astonishing age this we live
in. We can get hartshorn, brickdu*-! bread, jCly
paint and manure-—all from the bones of our an
cestors. What n vast field for speculation, there
fore, do the grave yards of the earth afford. It
would be almost worth while to go to war, for the
thesakeof speculating in the bones of the . 5 .!.
Should there be any doubt about the practi
cability of making candles of the human corse,
let us, call to mind the removal of a great num
ber us human bodies from the ancient bury ing
place, Des Innocens, at Paris. It was. the bury
ing ground ofa large destrict, wherein successive
generations of the ingraves were opened in the
presence of Fourcroy the celebrated chemist, and
the bodies were all (bund converted into spermaceti
or what Foncrov called adipocore. The grave
diggers say, it takes three years to convert a body
info spermecti; but lean beef or mutton secured
in a running stream may be thus converted into
speimaceti in about a month. But this has noth
ing to do with bones and in fact is merely given
en passant, as a hint to other speculators; and
with this tve take leave of the subject for the pre
sent. It is a singular and an awful one; espe
cially when we think of the confusion that these
speculations will create on tlie resurertion mor
ning when there is to be a genera) gathering to
gether of all the bones that ever breathed. The
squabling will be curious and the movement most
astonishing. Bones will g(Kwn mixed tip as to des
troy all title to property both here and hereafter.
A voting girl will get hold ofthe leg of one sweet
heart and the arm of another; anti one skeleton
may thus lie compounded ofthe bones of a doz
en different persons, so that lie wont know what
uame to answer to, when he hears the roll called j
over by the recording angel.
But the last and most important movementtljat j
will result from all this is the effect it wftthavb
. upon the price of beef and flour. Here is a tab
j ular view of our principal grave-yards with their
\ average value :
Irtuity giave-yard, if not rotton before

ALL persons are hereby cautioned against tra
ding for two promissory notes given by my
self sometime inthefall of 1837, and due the 25th
December last; one to John Martin for two hun
dred dollais, with a credit on the same of about
eighty dollars. The other was given to David
Martin, for what amount not now recollected, con
taining two credits, and fifty or sixty dollars due
on it. As the consideration for which said note 9

them unless compelled bylaw.
