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.

LEVI WOODBURY. War Department, ) July 7, 1831. $ It becomes my painful duty to announce to the Army, the death of the venerated patriot, and Ex-President, James Mcnroc. This af flicting dispensation, occurred on the late Anniversary of our Independence. At a moment when a nation of freemen were celebrating the achievements of that de voted band of patriots, who purchased with their blood the liberty we enjoy, one of the principal actoisin the Great Drama, was call-’ 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 uited States, and that the Officers wear crape on the left arm for six months. Major General Macomb will give the ne cessary instructions for carrying into execu tions, forthwith, the foregoing order. I’. G. RANDOLPH, Acting Secretary of IT r.

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. “ Eatonton , 13fA July, 1831. The Konorables, 11. G. Lamar, O. 11. Prince, C. B. Strong, C. J. McDonald. 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.

Let us then, in the true spirit ofGcorgians, arm our*< Ives for the contest, awake from our sleep of indiffe rence to matte rs of such high import, and rest assured that while the public-good is our aim, and <vp fight, with the prevalent weapons of truth, we must and we shall succeed.

HUDSON. 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,’’ es [Z]i>nri Bose—of the Messenger. “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.

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. * TO MIL ROSE.'” “Tlow cum you sarb me so,” by ’sorting to de public dat I’m a “broken down Pressman.” You | know berry well, Massa Rose, u it when I and 1 you used to work de Pres; togeder, I could beat you all hollow bote in pulling and beating —an 1 can do um agin, if you only gib m© whito man’s chance.
