Winter : I still call you Colonel, al though it would be as difficult, I imagine, for you to establish your right to that title, as you will find it to be, at the end of the various in vestigations which must take place, to satisfy the public, that you did not break the Bank of St. Mary’s, by appropriating its funds to your individual purposes. But the first object 1 have in view is to relieve your apprehensions, and those of the widows and orphans “in and about St. Mary’s,” as well as those of all other and orphans, in reference to the judgment which I have obtain ed against the Bank of St. Mary’s, in the name of the State upon my information, and which on their account only, seems to be the imme diate cause of your furious attack upon me.— Be it known then fthat the proportion of any Judgment I have obtained, or may hereafter j obtain, against the Bank of St. Mary’s, which may be liable to be paid by any widow or or phan, or by the present stock in that bank of any widow or orphan, shall be remitted. A word with respect to bill holders. I un derstand, that there is’ffiotone dollar’s worth of effects of the Bank of St. Mary’s, which could now be any judgment against it; and therefore if its unsatisfied liabilities are to be paid at al), they must be paid out of the effect,- in/ your hands belonging either to yourself, or the Bank, and over which you have abso- j lute control. Now, ?Col. Winter, take those I effects Stfu feuvitj ir tire Heprecraietl ImolTiTies i oi the B?nk. Do not reserve a single dollar on | mv account, or upon the supposition that I ma\, j a?some distant day. obtain a final Judgment | against the Bank, for $47,500. I call upon j the bill holders, to call upon you, and upon * your “ample fortune,” for the immediate sat isfaction of their claims. I pledge myself, ! under a contract, not to interrupt you, it at any time, I should find you appiopnating the means of the Bank in your hands, to the payment of the just claims of any holder, who is unconnected with the BantC. But I need not make this exception; for you know, Col. Winter, as well as you know where tiie assets of the Bank are : that I have not now, j and will not have hereafter, any power over j YOU in this respect, whatever judgment 1 may f finally obtain against the Bank. This you i ought to have made known to the public ; you ought to have done it too, in a few words ; you should have said simply: ‘■'‘Don't be alarmed: there is nothing belonging to the jJauk, which a judg ment can reach; and I toil!pay out of, my “ample fortune all ot your claims, and leave Clayton's judgment,fif he should ever get a iinal one, to satisfy itself.” This would have been much more agreeable ; no <1 oubt, to the bill holders and widows and j orphans, (if they should not have oeen so un- j kind and suspicious as not to believe it,) than ; the sonorous roar of the artil’ery, which your | valor and vengance directed against one, so j humble and unimportant as myself. So much injustice and kindfeelingstowards | bill holders, widows and orphans. You and j myself can now remain without further cause ; of misunderstanding, so far as this.-subject is ; concerned ; and in as much as you sav , that bt it understood that I am not speaking for myself fir as a stockholder in the Bank , |the recent decision has not caused even a moment’s uneasiness; and that you “speak solely for those who hold the liabilities of the Bank,” I cannot see, why we mav not, as soon as I shall have corrected the* erroneous impressions, which yourcommu nication is likely to make upon the public mind respecting the condition, ot the bt. Marys Bank, your own condition, and your connec tion with that Bank, (in all of which the public feels a deep interest,) shake hands and remain hereafter on social terms ; unless indeed, one who has been, for ten years, more notorious than any man that ever lived, for the number . . J . Ai ...mini .rmlcitinns nt a ws. tram- of his open and willful violations of laws, train ed expressly for the protection of the puolic, against evil doers, would be asnamed to asso ciate with a neighbor, who, upon the invitation of the sovereign people, and expresseu tin on go Legislative enactments, seeks to have one half of the penalties annexed to a very trilling por tion of those violations and offences, in fume upon the offenders. You own fourths of the stock in the Hank ot St. alary s, and therefore you will be liable to pay three fourths of any judgment I may finally obtain agams; it. hut this gives you “not one mo me nt of uneasiness,” and has been by nomeans concerned in exciting you to make an angry, assault upon me. No, you are angry, you are furious, because I may fix aliability upon the stock of the widows and orphans, who own a part only, of the remaining fourth!! The last report ot the Bank ot St. Mary s which I have been enabled to find atter diligent search, was made by you under oath, andbeaio date as late as the 31st of May, lß>l. 1 would not pretend to question the truth of the state- ment of the condition of the Bank, made in that report. It was no doubt true, abbreviated, the following is that statement. ASSETS. Specie.. 1*25,364 81 Notes of other Banks 15,837 00 Cash balance and due by Banks and agents. ,130,571 62—271,773 43 Bills of Exchange maturing 352,729 82 Stocks .. 4,488 96 Bonds and Mortgages 51,967 76 Notes discounted 101,482 76 j Advance on cotton 10J90 67 Real Estate and personal proper,y 14,519 37 j Notes and bills in judgement 13,249 95 $820,462 72 LIABILITIES. ; Unpaid dividends 2,440 45 j Deposits ; .54,648 16 j Circulation 486,800 00—.543,888 61 j Now deduct the whole amount of the iiabiii j ties $1543,888,61 from the whole amount of as sets, and we find that even as late as the 31st of May 1851, the Bank had good assets enough, (nearly the whole of them convertible almost immediately into cash if it had been necessary; to redeem her circulation, and to pay her lia bilities, and still have left, a surplus of $276,- : 574,11. This same report, be it remembered, says that only 6,000,600 of the debts due to the Bank are. considered doubtful, and that the • bad debts had been carried to the account of p ofitand loss; and were therefore not includ jed in the statement. Now Col. Winter, what have ycu dene with these assets'! What have ’ you done with the more/ and effects which be ! longed to “the widows and orphans in and about St. Mary’s!” According to your own j statement, in your late communication, the li i abilities of the Bank, still unredeemed, amount to over $200,000, say 225,000 ; for no doubt, that is low enough ; and we find in your hards, a fraction over one half of a million of dollars. For in as much, as you have in your hands, all that belongs to the Bank, course, have the funds received for the 225,0005tiil in.circula tion, as well as the $276,574,11. I again ask, : where is this half of miliionjDf assets belonging to the Bank of St. Mary’s! You have no right to abuse any body, for any thing, until you ac count for this half of a million in direct, plain and understandable terms. If you are entitled to credits for bad debts due the Bank, and created since that report was made, tell the pub'ic who they are who owe |those debts, give the names, and also the circumstances, giving rise to the mistake under which you la bored when you allo.ved them to be created. To the question where! which I have asked you to answer in reference to this half of a million, you will answer as echo would, j where! and lest you m y give such an answer, j I will tell the public where it is. It is vested in two or three hundred negroes , and in plank roads in Alabama, and l have yet j to see, in the public prints, a card of Col. Winter, requesting the ho’ders of the billsjof the Bank j of Bt. Mary’s, to come forward and take negroes I at fair valuation in payment of the bills they j hold . Negroes never sold higher than they do now. At any rate, they are, I believe, vastly j higher than they were when you purchased the ! largest portion of the large number you now j hold. Bring them over to Columbus, or to i Girard, if you are afraid of my judgment; give tvven L y days notice (f your intention to sell them for the liabilities of the Bank of St. Mary’s, uat l the last dollar is redeemed, and you will aeclomplish two great things—first, you will bring the bills of that Bank to par as soon as ! your notice appears, and secondly, you will j get good prices; yea, very high prices for the \ negroes. As tO huW illnnk vaatla umn.U “'A. 1 - 1 j no dpThiOii; but you can il you will, in one ; month, redeem every bill of that Bank now in j circulation by the sale of property at high ; prices, which is in justice the property of the j Bank, and in part, ot widows and orphans.- ] Why have you not done this already! It is j because you thought it. more profitable to ] promise, and promise from time to time, doing j nothing : creating and keeping up the idea in j the mind of lhe bill holder tnat “these bills, ! like the bills of other broken banks, may get! worse and worse, notwithstanding fair prom- [ ises, and I had better take something while I j can get it.” I regret that your attack upon me took such a direction, in some respects, that it becomes mv duty as a matter ot defence, to quote the following passage from your communication, j and to reply to it. “In all my trials and vexations, arising from j the malign action of the ill disposed, by the blessing of providence I have been sustained by the almost unparalleled confidence and in dulgence of the great public, and the unremit ted kindness of my personal friends.” That “ great public has recently done what ! They have,through thin representation, chosen for their integrity, fidelity, impartiality, and ; j good judgment, and sworn to present “no one 1 j tor envy, hatred or malice,” made a present s ment and found a true bill against you after, as j ! it is publicly understood, a long and careful] examination of the affairs ot the Bank of St. | | Mary’s. As you will no doubt give me future i occasion to refer to this subject, and other i proofs ol the confidence which the “great pub lic,” have in you, I leave it for the present to devote a few closing remarks to change bills. ! If lam a “public informer ,” in being so, I have ; been a public benefactor. I have done what ! thousands said ought to be done, yet taken as j individuals, they were afraid to do. it is use less to disguise it, they were afraid of your power, of your cunning, of your money influ ence over courts and jurors, and of the cry ot “ public informer,” which the lawless and rapacious always, in such cases, raise for their ’ protection. Now for a short history of my op- positionTo your shin plaster issues. Youc ommenced the issue of these illegal pa- j pers in this city, about the time of your re mo- j val here in 1842 or 3, You manifested your in- i ention to carry, it on upon a large scalej; by j having a second engraving made, you carried j out that intention, You studied the law, that law which the sovereign people ot this state, j intended should prevent the circulation ot j such paper, whatever its shape, form or pe-> 5 culiarity might be, you came to the conclu sion, that by putting them in the form of a bill of exchange, dated in Apalachicola, Florida, ’ beyondthe jurisdiction ot the State, and drawn upon the Bank of St. Mary’s, you could set those laws at defiance ; that the meshes of the iaw might do very well to hold common men; but that so far as'you were concerned, they were mere cobwebs across the path of the Ele phnt. When the hardtimes of 1842 & 3 passed away, and with them all tolerable apology for continuing them in circulation as change, your issues, instead ot diminishing, increased. Strong opposition to such circulation grew up until 1346, if not earlier, the two leading press es in this city, one of each political party, took grounds against you. Your conduct and your cupidity, your disregard of. and con tempt for the law, were freely and fully discussed : The Grand Jury, with Judge Calhoun (at the time of his death Governor ofNew Mexico,) as foreman, made a strong presentment against your change bill circulation upon public grounds, using the strongest of language, and j the soundest of reasoning. The city council, • even while you were Mayor, passed resolu tions, the object of which was to put down the evil, by directing its officers not to receive change bills in payment of taxes, or other debts due the city. I joined in the opposition and commenced, by presenting your change bills at the counter of the Bank of St. Marv’s for redemption, as fast as they came into my hands. This led to the publication, in tne city papers of the following card from you. “Some persons having of late, for reasons best known to themselves, endeavored to cre ate an unfavorable impression with regard to the change bills issued by the subscriber, this is to give notice, that he has always been, is now, and expects ever to be. both able and willing to redeem them promptly. He invites all those in this region, v r ho wish to convert them, to present them at the counter of the I Bank of St. Mary’s, in sums of five dollars or more. Although they are not made paya ble here for the convenience of the public they will be redeemed here. As persons have made it their business for something better to do, to annoy the Teller by presenting one bill at a time, for the mere purpose of annoyance, the Teller will hereafter require, that they shall be presented in sums of five dollars, and upwards. They will be redeemed in small or large sums in payment, or on deposit. They will be redeemed in*New York at my office, corner of Wall and Williams st., in Savannah at the office of W. S. Bale, & Cos., and in this city at the Bank of St. Mary’s, as before men tioned. JNO. G. WINTER.” Fora well written Editorial upon this note, and condemnatory of your change bills and wholesale violations of law, I refer you to the file of the Columbus Times, under date of the 4th of March 1846, I refer you also to a com-! munication ot mine, of the signature of; Citizen in the Columbus Enquirer of the same date, in answer to this note, and containing an argument designed to induce this community to put away the nuisance. I am sorry that it is too loDg for insertion in this comunication, I will endeavor to introduce it on another oc casion. I have copied your note for the purpose of showing, that you did not, even as far back as 1846, pretend to base your apology for the con tinuance of your offences, upon the ground, that the public needed your change bills on account of the difficulty of getting silver change; but j upon the ground that they were good. They I are still good, and why ? Because you are more I bound, either in law or in conscience, to redeem j them, than you are to redeem the bills of the j Bank of St. Mary’s? Not at all; for 1 have j shown that the debts of the Bank are your debts ; —debts of yours of the highest obligation; be- j cause you had in your hands, as an officer, the j funds of the Bank which ought to go at once to j the payment of them. Then why are they still I good—still redeemed ?It is because you fear j that if they were not paid, it would be much j easier for me to get a judgment against you | —that is your opinion of Courts and Juries; ! while it affords me pleasure to see, that f have ! been the means of driving you, not only to re deem these lawless shin plasters, but to redeem them at par. I have shown that no threats; no individual opposition ; no newspaper opposition; no pre sentments of Grand Juries; no resolution of City Council, nor even “annoying the Teller;” no Tails ‘"67 grass thrown attmAuu ouy touring him down from the tree whose forbidden fruit his cupidity was gathering, availed to do more than to draw from him the short note I have copied. At last it occurred to me “to try what virtue there was in stones.” 1 brought him | down; I have not only been the means of ar | resting all but the secret issue of these change i bills, and thus reducing to a vast extent the I amount in the hands of the public at the time of the failure of the Bank, but I have also been the ; means of causing such as remained in circula j tion to be redeemed at par. But notwithstanding all this opposition, you have not been prevented from making, by inter est alone on these shinplasters, some two bun- j dred thousand dollars. One item of the profits j of violating the law. You and “the ablest counsel in Western j Georgia” have no doubt that the Supreme Court j will reverse the decision of Judge Iverson.— Now'in as much as “the ablest Counsel in Wes- I tern Georgia” are on one side of the case and j Judge Iverson is on neither, and is not behind | any counsel in Western Georgia as to legal reputation, I shall not agree with you until the ! court shall take place. Nor will I discuss these ! legal questions in the newspapers, lest the Judges ! of the Supreme Court might happen to read j them, and conclude that I was endeavoring to j affect them in advance or to manufacture future ! opinions for Courts and Juries. P. A. CLAYTON. ! January 12, 1853. Marriages. —A practice prevails in the pub lication of marriages to announce that Miss A. i married Mr. B. It may he a species of gallan try to name the lady first, hut it is entirely out of place. Sho does not marry the man —the | man marries her The woman only consents that he shall take her ; and in consequence of this willingness on her part to take upon her self all the cares of wedded life, the husband is required to cherish and protect her. The wife agrees to love, honor, and obey, which are only promises contingent on the good conduct of tha husband. The scriptures mention that he took unto himself a wife; but we hear nothing said j about her taking to herself a husband. When Jacob set out on ni3 travels in search of a wife, he found Rachel at the well drawing water for the family. He stood on no ceremony. He did not wait for the usual salutation of tha day or a formal introduction but forthwith kissed her ‘‘and lifted up bis eyes and wept.” The joy that | overwhelmed him, in finding such a pretty girl in the wilderness, gushed forth in a torrent of I tears. All the while Rachel was passive, She made no advances. She did not kiss Jacob,; j nor did she coyly resent the liberties he had ’ taken. Here we have the negative consent—the submission ot the female j and the successful and decided advances of the gentleman; for Jacob was a gentleman of wealth and distinc tly Vi. We should not therefore say in our journ als that the lady married the gentleman. She puts no ring on his finger to bind the obliga* - tion. She does not present her husband with a j gold watch and chain, a diamond breast-pin, or a pair of kids. ; | | j “That’s a fine stream for trout friend,” | observed a piscatorial acquaintance the other day, to a genuine sprig from the Emerald Isle, who was whipping away with great vigor at a well known and favorite pool. “Faith, and it must be that same, sure enoughreturned Pat, ‘deuce a one of ’em’ll stir out of it.” i i OC7“ Farmers generally are opposed to the ; Maine Law.
