A PETITION Tn the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives, of the State of Georgia , 11 General Assembly met — IHe citizens of Macon, and others whose unitiesnre hereunto subscribed, respectfully s')Lci your Honoruido body to incorporate tiiftn as a Banking Company under the name and character of “Tlio Commercial Bank at ancon” and to give thorn sticli privileges and unrnu.uitics, as a Banking Company, as you, in tourwisdom may deem meet and expedient. ask this from your Honorable body as j 1 r ‘tuttor of right, but at the same time beg leave to offer some of the reasons that have induced us to petition for anew Bank to be located at Macon, believing that you will he disposed to listen to any arguments founded in reason ami justice, if it is made apparent that * ns community requires another Bank, and lit the interests of those you represent will j' e promoted by it, wc have no hesitancy in be- that you will grant the Petition of your '•emori lists. i'iVc.'v tiling, which toads to lower the rate of interest, is peculiarly worthy the care oflegis- has a tendency to ell'ect this ivitu ° ut lining violence to the natural course )ftj,i n ”s, ought to be attended to and strictly nirsued Vour memorialists confidently le -ieve that B '>Us, when properly managed are iiaon<the mca,.' s m 9 st likciy ,0 acc . oin P ,ish litis end.

Thus tire Bank ■" iurnish borrowers within its immediate nTe, with an extraordinary supply and in i ’portion n ; the circulation of the hills is 1 n'h <l, there is an augmentation of the ag " 'unoiint of money for answering tiro ‘ "eh of the community, lienee, greater 'll obtaining ft for every purpose of life, and the consequent depreciation of inte resl—and lienee, a stop to tire progress of usu ry either by tile Sharer or Broker. The commercial and planting interest in Macon, and its vicinity have suffered severely from tnc scarcity of Bu- e capital owned in the place, as well as from the total insufficiency I ot all the foreign and local Bank capital to sup ply*the wants of the community. The Banks located in Macon have small capitals and with one exception are Branches of other Banks in tnc S.utc and are almost wholcly controuled by persons who reside at a distance and who cannot be expected to know the wants of the community. Ihe demand for money increa ses in an equal ratio with the increase of bu siness—and it is well known that our Ban Is have not and cannot increase their emissions in an equal ratio, From actual calculations, made by intelligent anil experienced nnr chants, it is ascertained that om- Banks have n *t been able to supply more than one half of the money that has been actually employed hereto transact the business of the place—let a few plain facts be submitted. Last year,there were 00,000 bales of cotton, sold in Macon, wh.cli at twenty-five dollars per bale amounts to 81,500,000. Add to this, the expenses of transportation to the sea-board, storage, com missions, &c. and the amount is swelled to 1,800,000. This year, we believe tue num ber of bales of cotton to be received at Ma con, will be at least 70,000, which at $25, pci bale, will amount to 1,750,000. Add ex panses of transportation, &c. and it will cost delivered at the sea-board, $2,000,000. It is believed that the quantity of goods brouglit to this [dace, and the money necessary lor improving the town building s will amount to as much more. Four millions of dollars, then are reqnred to transact the business of the place the comiftg year. You will see that we have not taken into the calculation, the cotton which is purchased by our mertdiants at the different landings on the river, and which is shipped to die sea-board, without coming to Macon, nor have we taken into view the money required by the surrounding country for any cf the purposes of life—we then assert without fear of contradiction, that all the banks in Macon, cannot furnish the i.r.'iiey necessary to carry on the business of the [dace the coming year; and for satisfac tory proof of this fact, we refer to the annual returns of tire banks to your honorable body. The consequence of a great deficiency of bank capital lias been,that our merchants have been compelled to resort to other and distant plac es for money ; and in addition to the inconveni ences and do thy, consequent upon this state of things, the discount and commissions, they have been compelled to pay to tire brokers anil shavers,have swelled the rate of interest to to from 12 to 25 percent. This evil we could not remedy, and we have been .compelled to charge llio planter a high rate on advances, or suffer bankruptcy ourselves. This state of tilings is insupportable, and we respectfully solicit your honorable body to remedy so cry ing an evil, by granting us anotl r hank with ■such a capital as may be sufficient for the business of the place. It is proposed by your memorialists, that the bank have a capita! of] $400,000, divided into shares of SIOO each, ] anil that no individual, or co-partnership of I individuals, be allowed to subscribe for more! than 100 shares, and that your memoralists be considered as having already subscribed for all the stock, under the above restriction. Wc recommend this cotir.,e, tirat wcmay avoid an evil which has in several instances defeat ed the object of the Legislature in incorpora ting banks. We allude tc a monopoly of the stock by a few individuals. We v, isli to avoid thisjevil by giving every individual in the place, an opportunity of subscribing for stock (which wc believe Iras been given in this case) and then to have these individuals so subscribing anil petitioning, incorporated] as the stockholders of the bank. This course! may be a novel one, yet we confidently be-j lievc it effects will bn salutary, and tirat the ‘ whole community will share in its advantages. From these and other reasons that will suggest themselves to your honorable body, we fondly hope you will charter the Commer cial Bank at Macon, and thus enable your memorialists to increase the circulating me dium of the State, to put a stop to the pro gross of usury, (o equalize the exchange be tween the interior of the State, and the sea board, arid to enable the people the more ea sily to pay their debts to the Merchant and to the State.

We have in our possession statements from un doubted authority, which go to disprove the un warrantable assertions made by J. T. Camp, in his letter to the Editor of Columbus Democrat, noticed in our last. Want of room compels us to defer theirpubliealion until our next. Commercial ilixis!. t Macon. By reference to our Legislative head, it will be seen that the Bill incorporating this institution has passed the Senate by a majority of 14 votes. The statistical facts set forth in the Petition of the Memorialists, which we publish to-day, have secured for the Bill a favorable reception in Mil* ledgevillc, and induce us to believe that it will be as successful in its passage through the House as it has been in the Senate. The increasing trade of our flourishirg town, and the absolute want ot available funds to give an impulse to its operations, equally favorable to the Merchant, Planter and Mechanic, are fairly and correctly represented, and impose it as an incumbent duty upon our Legislature to grant the charter which has been asked for. How to reform a Newspaper ont of ofiter* 4\ e received by this morning’s mail a very po lite billet from the Executive Department, reques ting that the -Macon Advertiser may no longer he sent to that office. So then, it seems, that his Excellency has cut our acquaintance. Nimpor/c We shall, however, if occasion require it, con tinue to tip our beaver to him—and should he still remain incorrigible, and shut his eyes and ears tp the truth, it will betio fault of ours. N. B. Our Post Master has debited us with 10 cents forhis Excellency's communication. “Mvg ginspay ike / ot-loy." Tin* it a CorrcHpoiidrntv* This seditious publication has been embellished by th c favors of certain correspondents, who have falsely and basely calumniated the repetition of some if our most worthy and respectable citizens. One cf the authors of those foul slanders, we arc in. duced to believe, resides among us, and is foster ed in the bosom of the very Society whose morals and character he hits vidy traduced. We would advise the gentleman to keep his domino wrapped close aro".nd him —for if the mask should be torn from his malignant features lie may rest assured that the just indignation of an insulted comma, nity will be poured heavily upon him. Savannah — Charleston—Rail Roads, or, South Carolina, vs. Georgia. Fcr some years past, the enterprising Capital ists of Charleston, have be in looking with a wist ful eye to the rapidly increasing resources of Geor gia. We will not pretend to say, that the origi nal object of the Charleston Rail Road Company contemplated a controlling influence over the trade f this Stato: but this much vte thinr. we can with certainty advance, that since the com mencement of the system, her keen-eyed specu lators have discovered that they may avail them selves of a commanding advantage over our enter prise, industry and products—and that they are now strengthened in their belief of being able to effect this, from the misguided policy which ae -tuates too many of our temporising citizens. To explain ourself: Columbus and Eaton ton aredesirotis of estab lishing, from their several points, Bail Roads to terminate at Augusta. The Senator from lift for mer place, has already a proposition before the present Legislature to that effect. Now, let us see, if these plans of Internal Improvement were adopted, what would he the result. Rail Roads from Columbus and Ilatonton to Augusta, would meet the Charleston Rail Road at Hamburg, and would, in fact, be nothing more than a continua tion of the Charleston Rail Road —or, in other words, it would be building for the benefit of S. Carolina alone, two or three hundred miles of Hail Ruud in Georgia. Under this ruinous anl absurd policv, Columbus and Eatonton, would com mand the entire trade of our South-western and north-western section , which are and will continue to be, the most nourishing and productive portions of our State. That these two places should do so, wc would not, however, complain, if it did not go directly to the prostra tion of our commercial character, by pouring the principal part of our wealth into the already re dundant lap of Charleston. Augusta too appears to be infatuated with the project—but after maturely reflecting upon the facts we have hinted at, she must be convinced that it cannot add anything !o her prosperity. On the contrary, it would sub tract a great deal from it; for instead of being as she now is, the great mart of the Interior, she would soon become a mere thoroughfare, or Cot ton Avenue for Charleston. Her Steam Boats and Pole Boats would in a little time rot at her wharves, and it would not be long before her emp ty Stores and dilapidated Ware Houses would give to her now animated market, the gloomy as pect of a “deserted village.” This would inevi tably be the result, unless Augusta could compete with Charleston in marine location and commer cial facilities ; for which we presume no man of l sane understanding* would contend. If there is enough of public spirit, enterprise and State pride in < leorgia. to protect her Tesour ces, and make them available to her commercial welfare and political consequence, she must loo’* to Savannah for the accomplishment of these great desiderata. If wo do vot, GEORGIA BECOM ES TRIBUTARY TO CHARLESTON / Already are her great capitalists thronging among us, and endeavoring by investments and other flattering operations, to effect this ulterior object. We there fore, most seriously • ehove our Legisluture to be zealously cautious in granting equivocal charters, sail more particularly so, in making appropria tions for such undigested and destructive projects of Internal Improvements, as those to which we have alluded. We have in a crude manner hastily thrown these suggestions together, wiSi the hope that they will not only arouse our Legislature, which is now in session, but also our fellow citizens generally to a proper sense of the high interests of the State. We" cannot sit still, and passively look upon the exer tions that fatuity and management arc making to wrest troin ns the decided advantages within out grasp —which advantages if properly employ ed, would, at no distant period, rank us with the first Southern State in the Union. The Circular from the Fayetteville 6ufTerers is unavoidably laid over until our next.

Reg. 18th ins?. GREAT MORTALITY. The St. !s)uis Republican of the lstinst. states that a letter has been received from Major Dougliorty, Agent of the Pawnee In dians, to his brother, saying that the Small Pox had been committing dreadful ravages a mongtho Pawnees; that nearly the whole of one tribe (the Pawnee Republic,) of about 3500 souls, had been swqd of —that the num ber dying daily was so great, that they had not been able to bury them!—and that this excessive mortality was owing to the circum stance, that they immediately plunged the pa tient into the water as soon as the fever makes its at pearance—thus driving the disease in wardly. Eor the Macon Advertiser. Judge C layton is before the public ns a candidate to fill the present vacancy in om Congressional representation. He comes at the nomination of the Troup Party, and it is believed With their united assent. It is in deed a most happy and appropriate selection. W e have many able men to whom this State is greatly and lastingly indebted; but it would bo difficult to find a person whose eminent services have been so various, and who has so iqany,distinct arid separate claims to our con fidence. I have read and admired in common with the American public his fine productions on the lightest and weightiest subjects which do honor to the taste and literature of the State and to its juridical altd economical service And l have w itnessed efforts of W3 elocution 1 which I and hundreds more will never forget. But it is not for these qualifications, eminent as they are that 1 recommend him to the peo ple of Georgia. Nor is it because llmoic him to be virtuous (for I knew him well and have known him long) that i recommend him. it is because his virtue lias been tried ami proved —seven ly tried and fully proved. I of course allude to the gold digging case. It came before him when his election was at hand. llow easy would it have been to have saved the point, or tohave allowed a continu ance, or to have laid hold of some technicali ty or by some other dexterous side wind to have dodged the question for the time and waived it over beyond the day of election ? or it he loved his office more than principle,such talents as his, could easily have found some plausible reasons for deciding profitably. But he did neither of these. He decided iiimscll out of office, and he knew that he was doing so. This may be called eulogy—it is indeed so; but it is the eulogy of fact—a fact that will hereafter speak the eulogy of Georgia! and all 1 find to regret in it is, that it will fur j nish an argument hereafter, in favor of the, j electioneering tenure of our bench. This [decision will be cited to prove that Judges even by such a tenure can be found who will disdain to truckle or palter or evade. The simple fact here stated is, that he inct the question fairly as it arose; and decided it at once and in such way, as lie knew would cost him his office. lam not applauding him for this. He perfonnftl indeed, and with un flinching firmness an act of self immolation but be did no more than bis duty, a severe and painful duty it is true, and what many would not have done, but still bis duty. It is far from my purpose therefore to insult with my thanks, n man who makes no claim to thanks for fulfilling his high trust. But I am con gratulating the people that they have in the present instance full proof if human experi ence can prove it, that their .candidate will do his duty at whatever cost to himself. That !■ will not betray his trust fcowever strongly tempted. This decision is moreover eminently calculated to promote his usefulness in Con gress in the great question of our Indian rela tions. The advocates of the North of the trea ty rights of the Indians, w ill natprally, act more amicably, and cordially with a person from Georgia who by his moderatioirffias evin ced that be intends the Indians no wrong,and who has given such a signal proof of the firmness of his principles.
