A correspondent of the Boston Galaxy de

of his letters we make the '.following extract:
j -—“Corn planting time,” in those states i
from the middle of March to the middle of
June—and “corn gathering time,” from Octo
ber till the next June. It is no way uncom
mon fo see people hurrying to “get their corn
in w bile the snow lasts,” and sometimes “hur
ry ing to get it off the ground in time to get in
the next crop”—and notwithstanding tins lat
itude of time, von often see men giving and
taking notes, payable next corn gathering
time, or next harvest; for harvest, you must
know, does not mean corn harvest, in this
country. Stop at a cabin and begin t 0 in
quire the ages of some of the dozen two-head
ed children, and the mother in all her native
innocence, will tell you “that her Billy is just
two years old last log rolling time ; aiul that
her Andrew, (that is Andrew Jackson, but, la"
stranger, twas all my man’s doings, callitiv
him that ere nuni) he is four years
old coining, day ’fore n >xt lection—and Tom
wonder, he s five years old in roasting ear

ced by the circumstances around us.”

so the inclination. But once gain their

when once acquired, and you w ill not only

It becomes my painful duty to announce to
the Army, the death of the venerated patriot,
and Ex-President, James Mcnroc. This af

Anniversary of our Independence.
At a moment when a nation of freemen
were celebrating the achievements of that de

their blood the liberty we enjoy, one of the

ed to his last -account.
Participating in the sensation which must
fill every heart on such an afflicting occasion,
and anxious to manifest his gratitude for the
eminent services, and admiration for the tal
ents and virtues of the deceased, the Presi
dent directs that funeral honors be paid him
at every Military post and station in the U

on the left arm for six months.

TUtTBANKsT ~~
This week we are led to a few remarks on the
subject of, and against the local and State Bank
Institutions ; which are produced from first, ob
serving the application to the United S fates Bank
on the part of some of the Citizens of Columbus,
forth*-, establishment ofa Branch of that Institu-.
tion in that place: and, secondly from observing
the organization of a New Bank in Augusta—
“Me Mechanic'* Bunk."
The public, aro aware, that the Macon Bank,
has lately gone to the highest bidder—has new
owners, (and with money enough to hold itself
iu constant readiness to protect its issues!)—But
we are yet to learn that a continuance of that sys
tem of abominations, —an unequal and partial ac
commodation in Bills of Exchange,— is not yet
to be saddled on an energetic, but deluded peo
ple. These remarks are plain and aro intended to
be so. They are aimed to meet the putilic eye—
and to warn it of a system dangerous to enter
prise, industry and honesty, and which is a! i>-
sue with the true interest ofthe Country.
Nor are we mors inclined to direct our admo
nitory remarks to the Macon, than to the oth
er Banks in this place or elsewhere. We sav j
they are rotten-borough corporations, controlled j
by a small minority, a dangerous minori t\% from
the aristccraticsl tendency which their wealth
and overgrown power are likely to exercise.
The Banking mania, both here and elsewhere,
has been very much demonstrated lately. A few
weeks ago, we witnessed, the exertions which
wpre made to control the Stock in the Farmer’s
Bank of Chattahoochie —and the same interest
prevailed, and for the same object, at each place
where the stock apportioned was to be taken.—
I'iie result is, (and would have been of the same
tendency, in the success of either of the contend
ing parties,) that the Bank is owned by a few—
and however responsible those few, are wa do
not think the public can be interested in its wel
tare, nor can it be as continent in tito good opin
ion entertained ofit, hud the institution - been or
ganized upon apore equal an.d and: .tnbuiive plan.
V\ cdo not say thus much to prejudice the now
Bank. We wish it well. But u is against ail'
monied monopolies, adverse to free, and reciprocal j
rights, that we wouid raise our .voice ;iV;h, ‘-anti j
spare not.” It is not the Cbzttahoochid Bank, i
winch has elicited tills article : other jtfouks mer
it a similar eemure. During the last t ear, some |
of our citizens, (aua v ry caver cues too,} soli
cited the establishment of i i,iancii of tho c ailed 1
.State’s BaaiciiCßE'; The application was respou- J
ded to ia a very kiuiiiy spun; a..i soma partial 1
pledge giv -In the interim an agency, (and j
which we have no doubt lV.lly answers the pur-!
pose of any other Bask in this ;>!:*% and conduct- j
ed on as liberal principles, r.ad with ar, due regard !
to the wants, and situation of our people) has j
been established. \\ e hare.nought m say.. -dost
it —which would not equally r.pn'y v~ the ether j
local and State Ins*fictions—for, in point of f-tate !
interest, we believe they.stand alike — ait., via-I
chines in the hand •• of the moi.ir-d monopolists, I
r outriding at will. * o circulating medium—there-j
>v measurably effecting, at any time, the s* go of
<ur market. If we are not sustained in these re
marks by facts, we shall be disappointed—ro-.d the
circumstances which enabled us to observe c<--1
siderablc of the fluctuations in the staples of this •
mr.iket. for several years, 1 -vefcecn mere
ntable'to the control of the P rfis, at pleasure,
than to any effect resuliimr ffom peculiar embar
rassments, incur trade either at home or abrind.
This is a Serious consideration for th- iednstiioo?
part of our community—but more particularly so,
for those engaged in agricultural pursuits.
It may bo asked, why we are so disposed to
war with the Banks. The solution, is at hand.
TVe believe they are tendered tributary to pri
vate purposes—to private monopolies—ar.d to fos
ter distant merchants, at the expense of our de
pendent, forlorn, and unfortunate town, and coun
try. Anon
RAIL ROADS.
We publish with much pleasure the following
“Circular,” addressed to our enlightened towns
men, Messrs. Lamar, Prince, Strong, and McDon
ald.
AVe are truly glad that thus much has been
done, towards .tho organization of a convention.
An immediate attention to the request of the “Cir
cular,” would have been complied with, but for
the absence of some of the gentlemen addressed.
They will, however, take the earliest opportunity
r,f consulting together, and make the necessary
arrangements to in* ft the important object.—*
It is earnestly to be hoped that all the intermedi
ate counties between this and Columbus and Sa
vannah, as we'.l as others, will adept as soon a-,
possible, a similar proceeding,—fi rit is only by
uniiitic' and concentrating the inter* at, influence,
and intelligence cf wealthy and enterprising citi
zens throughout the State, that the important
work ui.dor consideration can he carried Into ef
fect.
We perfectly agree with the “Circular,” that
wo should avoid making tho undertaking, cue of
“State enterprise,” and think that the plan of a
Company as it is outlined, ia as good a one as could
be suggested.
We must differ however with the preposition,
which would make “the Hoad commence at Au
gusta-” Such a route, in our estimation would
be highly injurious to the trade of the Slate, l y
carrying it immediately to Charleston, and redu
cing Savannah to a mere sea-beach, for a few soli
tary fishermen to dry their nets upon—and this
too without essentially promoting tho commercial
prosperity of Augusta —inasmuch as the route
commencing there would urite w ith tli'o Charles
ton Rail Road, which would render Augusta hut
little better than a medium of communication,
and dftposite the whole produce of our Statu infto
the lap of the emporium of South Carolina. That
we might be enabled to enjoy all the advantages of
th* trad? of cur wo humbly conceive t!;it
a route, as direct os possible, from Savannah to
some point above Macon with radiating roatjs into
the interior, to such places as should be deemed
advisablf v would, probably, be the best plan which
could be adopted. It would certainly' give to the
interior 'a more ready market than Charleston
could present, and save from destruction the only
commercial depot and entrepot of which our State
Cau boast.

Dear Sirs :
A favorable train of circumstances, has
brought before the minds of our people, the
subject of Internal Improvement. Believing
that you, in common with many other of our
hollow Citizens, feel a deep interest in all
questions, which tend, either remotely or im
mediately to the happiness and prosperity of
our Sta'o, wodiave taken the liberty of
communicating with you, under a pci feet as
surance that the subject and our identity of
interests will afford a sufficient apology in this
this behalf. The apathy, which has so long
ami so powerfully prevailed among us, in ref
erence to the adoption of some artificial means
of Communication between the staple grow
ing part of our State and Augusta and Savan
nah, the two great outlets for our produce,
wp trusti will soon he succeeded by an on- '■
lightened, era rg- tic and porsevi ring action in
all class's of our community. The minds of
the people in almost every section of our
State, seem to have been directed simultane
ously in scare!) of some adequate means for a
proper reduction of the high rjtcs of trans
portation of our staple and the corresponding
decrease in the transportation of the necessary
articles of domestic consumption. The
result of tiie investigation so far as it has
proceeded, has manifested itself in fa
avor of the construction of Rail-Roads,
a." the means best adapted tothe consummation
of these desirable objects. The practicabili
ty and utility of such roads, as a medium of
inland communication, is no longer a.question
of theoretical speculation, but is the subject
matter of practical illustration. Without rn-'
t< ring intodctail noon the proposition just
laid down, wc would simply refer you to
the history of Rail Roads in Europe and Ame
ricans devc loped in the reports of their Direc
tors) from which you will readily perceive
that Rail Roads not only constitute the safest,
cheapest and most expeditious means of irans
nortation, but that they yield a handsome per
centum upon tit' : stment of Capital. Our
past experience of • f *al results attending
works of imprevon * wfi. o sob ly conduct-
eel by State cute r; * -• ■> e and appropriations for-
LiJ tiie idea, that U>o ohjpcts contemplated
can he acoomnli-hed without the inline
diute par* : ip - ii ie i and hearty co-opera
tion of privtt nil personal exertion.—
There won’ 1 also 'arise objections to
the undertakii ■ r , as i rnnttf rof State enter
prise, which, wlic ’her well or ill-founded;
would inevitably d< fit the views of its friends.
We therefore propose as the plan whioji you
shall submit to ye: - fi How-citizens, the fol
lowing, viz : A Run Road Company to be
Incorporated by ‘fie I, orislafure, reserving to
the State the right of subscription lor a cer
niii amount oi"'t.)ck, the road to commence at
Aog'tsta and run into the interior in such di
rertion, as shall best subserve the interests of i
the community ir.‘ -nded to be henefitted, as
decided by a major's tv of Stockholders. As this
3 a work of utmost importance on a variety
of accounts, all local feeling and prejudice as
to the particular route ofthe road, should be
laid down upon the altar of public good. As
brethren in the same social compact,we should
feel ourselves bound on all occasions, involv-
inp our common welfare to yield a hearty and
efficient s r iee.to 1 v aside all party zeal, an and
thus demonstrate bv our conduct, the truc
characti rof our attachment to our State, Un
der these views wo have determined to ask
your a ; d androtmsi lin t'f s important matter.
Wc’request that you will introduce the sub
to tb minds of the citizens of your county,
With whom we have corresponded *.n calling a
County meeting at the eurlic st practicable pe
riod in next month for the purpose ofcanvass
i ing the nu tter in ail its merits, that you will
co-operate with the other gentlemen of
vonr county, and we further ask of you,
that if the srnsa of your community
should coincide with our views that
you v id, at your meeting, elect delegates,
equal in number to your Representatives in

7HELATE CABINET*
The opponents of the present Administration
are trying to impress the people with a belief,
tlmt the late re-organization of the President’s
Cabinet is an event not only disgraceful to the
country, but unparalleled in its history. Such
revolutions they say, however well they may
do for monarchical governments; are by m> means
suited to the peculiar institutions of our country
—and they conclude from this position, which
they have falsely assumed, that President jack
son is not worthy of the high trust wLieh has been
reposed in him. The c j position, good souls!
cannot conceive,—(the case of Tobias Watkins
to the “contrary notwithstanding,”)—that hu
man nature may occasionally be as frail at Wash
ington City as it is at the Courts of Versailles,
St. James, or St. Petersburg.
That excellent paper, the “Boston Statesmen,” j
In noticing the political cant of the opposition 1
on this subject, furnishes us with the following j
appropriate facts and judicious reflections:—
“Itis no new tiling *o find jealousies, colli- 1
siori ofintercsts and disagreements among those
high officers. These difficulties are in some
measure inseparable from the transaction of pub
lic business and grow out of the frailty of human
nature.
“In Washington’s administration, Jefferson
and Hamilton were always at variance. Mr.
Jefferson’s position was so unpleasant to him that
he resigned. I>)v. E. Randolph who succeeded,
we believe Mr. Jefferson, as Secretary of State,
Gen. Washington displaced. The elder Adams
turned Timothy Pickering out of the same office,
which produced a feud as bitter as any which at
present exists, and which has bcetf handed down
we believe to the present time.
“Mr. Madison displaced R. Smith, his Secre
tary of State, and Mr. Granger the Po3t Master
General—to say nothing of Mr. Armstrong, Sec
retary at War. All these changes caused more
or less public excitement at the time. Mr. Crown
inshield Secretary of the Navy, and Mr. Meigs
Post Master General, were induced, or forced, to
resign under Monroe, and in the latter part of his
administration he himself fell under the displeas
ure of dm nation because he suffered his-cabinet
to quarrel among themselves and use the influ
ence of their offices to break the country into petty
personalt'actions. We have thus hastily run over the
history of most of the previous administrations to
shew our readers that cabinet difficulties are not
new in this country', or peculiar to this ailminis
tr&tion. to*. Jackson is indeed the first who
has shown decision of character enough to meet
fully the crisis. If individuals of our political
associates disagree and quarrel, be it so, but why
should the great body or any considerable por
tion of the public enter into these quarrels !—-
There is no occasion for taking sides and the
people will not do it. Gen. Jackson was elected
b\- an overwhelming vole of the people, to accom
plish certain objects —fo administer the govern
ment upon certain principles. The same motives
which inouced his election, continue to operate
and will re-elect him. The people aro satisfied
with his administration—they see the country'
prosperous beyond all former example at heme—
respected and honored abroad. Our claims up
on foreign countries liquidated—-our difficulties
adjusted—and the national character elevated in
the eyes ofthe world by the policy of this admin
istration. Seeing this— conscious of these facts,
what inducement have the people to abandon the
long tried patriot—the successful civilian—and
take sides in bitter personal factions ! They
have none—they will ript do it. We know not iri !
this quarter a sinfie desertion from the side of I
the administration,’’

“Bombardinian has received a blow,
“And Chrononhotonthologosmust die.”
This gentleman not content with exposing his
mental imbecility in a former number of the pa
per, with which he is connected, comes out in
it3 last number with an attempted justification
of his siliy and illiberal conduct, more ridiculous
if possible, than his original transgression. We
and r not know which to be most surprised at, his ig
norance or his impudence. The temperate lash
which we applied to him, instead of producing
a salutary reformation, bus inflamed his obstina
cy ; and like one of those unmentionable animals
witn longears, he has, we understand set up, and
keeps up, such a braying and kickingthat it in
interrupts the quiet, and almost threatens the
pence of his immediate neighborhood. What a
Hotspur this modem Zimri must be!—Wc hope
he has got his China & Crockery-Ware insured !
Such has been the crash in these frail articles,

But, in sober earnest, as Mr. Rose, has “ bes
towed many words, and made” them the entire
burthen “of his” scribbling “labors” in the Mes

he is w elcomo to wear—that of a petulent butt,
and ridiculous laughing slock. We are sure of
using mild language, when applied to him;
and particularly after his modest and well
adorned sentiments, in which the “burthen
of the “scribbling labors” ofthe last Messenger
are couched. [Here let us say that our respected
friend Seymour, the ostensible Editor ofthe Mes
senger, is not at all alluded to—ft r, besides the
notice which he gives of being ; woven ted (by
attention to legal business, and of indisposition,)
“entirely from attending to his customary edito
rial duties,” —there were other symptoms ef his
absence, which an experienced eye could easily
detect.]
Mr. R. in his self-created censorship, appears
desirous of exercising a dictation over the “ Ad
vertiser,” by enforcing a routine of duty for our
performance, which would impose upou us the
necessity of being absent or present at such times
as might suit his pleasure or his wishes. If such
is not the fact, why has he the presumption to say
that it was our “duty” to be at our desk, for the
mere purpose of reading over the proof sheet
which contained bis rlassie, euphonic, and patriotic
toast!! ! Now, for our “ poor particular,” we
do seriously think, that Mr. R. has not o constitu
tional right to interfere with the domestic econo
my of our office. He may foorsooth claim the
right under the Nulification Code, but we do not
feel much disposed to yield it.
We claim no exemption from errors. If we
make them, whether detected by ourself or others,
j it is our duty as well as pleasure to correct them.
J Not so with Mr. Rose. He imposed upon us by
. his cavalier deportmcnUhe necessity ofmakingan
Errata for him —and wc done so, that wo might
1 convince the public that those “who live in glass
houses should not be tho first to throw stones.”—
Mr. U. also makes an insidious allusion to cur
subscription lists. In relation to this we beg leave
to inform the public, that, notwithstanding the
Advertiser has not been ia existence for four
months yet, it can boast of a greater number of
subscribers in Macon, than can the Messenger it
self, although it has been established nine years.
We would not have made this assertion, had we
not been driven to it by the unfair and unequivo
cal allusions cf Mr. IS. In alluding to this dcli
licate circumstance, vv* cannot, however, much
i regret it, as it gives to us an opportunity of ex-
I pressing to our Patrons a lively sense cf gratitude
I forthe liberality they have thought proper to ex
: tend to our infant establishment.

public dat I’m a “broken down Pressman.” You

The subject of Rail-Roads, in various dire -
tions through the State, seems to be aodtatingin
to a general excitement by recommendations t
the people to call moetiugs for the purpose ofi
lccting delegates to hold “a general convention,”
toi the discussion of the various interests of th;>
people and the state upon the important subject
of improving the condition of both by adeptin
trie most wise and judicious routes and systems
°! I " t '.' rn ‘ 1 11 improvement This augurs well, and
the 1 1 lends of Brunswick will now have a fair op
portunity of sending a delegate to represent the
interests of that port, atthe proposed convention.
J t is hoped they will not neglect their interest and
their right. y
HABITS OF A MAN OF BUSINESS '
A sacred regard to the principles of justice,
forms the basis oi every transaction, and rr-'mlat •
the conduct oi the upright man of business. Ho
is strict in keeping his engagements—does noth
ing carelessly or in a hurry—employs no body to
do what he can easily do himself—keeps every
thing in its proper place—leaves nothing undone
winch ought to be dene, and which circumstances
permitted him to do—keeps his designs and busi
ness from the view of others—is prompt and de
cisive v ith his customers, and does not overtrade
tor Ins cupnal—prefers short credits to long
ones, and cash to credit transactions at all timi s
when they can be advantageously made, either
in buying or selling—and small profits in credit
cases, with little risk, to the chance of great;r
gains with more hazard. He is clear and explicit
in all Ins bargains—leaves nothing of conse
quence to memory which he can and ought to
commit to writ ing—keeps copies of all his unpor
tant letters which fie sends awav, and hits every
letter, invoice, &c. belonging to business n
. * classed, and put up in ofdet—never allows
lus desk to be contused with many papers lying
upon it is always at the head of his business,
'. * knowing, that if lie leave it, it will leave
bun holds it as a maxim, that he whose credit,
is suspected, is not safe to be trusted—is con
stantly examining his books, and sees through
all his affairs as tar a3 care and attention enable
him— balances regularly at stated times, and
then makes out and transmits all his accounts
current to his customers and constituents, both a*
home and abroad--* voids as much as'possible,
alt sorts of accommodation in money uiaUert:,
and law suits, where there is the least hazard—is
economical in his expenditure, always livin -
within his income— keeps a memorandum book
with a pencil m his pocket, in which he notes eve,
ry little particular relative to appointments, ad
dresses, and petty cash matters—is cautious
how lie becomes security for any person, and iu
generous only when urged hv motives of human-
