The Temperance Banner contains the letter of Mr.
Overbey, accepting the nomination of the Atlanta Con
vention. That the public may understand his position we
make the following extract from it:
‘Tst* I am in favor of repealing the License laws now
in force in this State. •
2d. I will advocate Legislative action to suppress the
sale of bquor, in any quantity, to be drank as a beverage
at the place of sale.
I do not object to the sale and use of wine or spirituous
liquors for medical, mechanical, or religious purposes.
This is my exposition of the platform laid down by the
Covention.
Our Banner, with the above sentimtents plainly incrib
ed upon its spotless folds, is thrown to the breeze. We
invite every philanthropist, and patriot, and Christian, to
rally with us under this standard, and make one deter
mined, indomitable effort against grog shops and crimes,
and for our wives and children.”
Southern Central Agricultural Society.
Atlanta, March 8.
The Executive Committee of the Southern Centra
A >ricnltural Society, assembled in this place to consider
the various propositions for holding the next annual Fair,
have decided in favor of Atlanta, the bid from that place
more favorable and largely in advance of all others.
The next Fair will be held on the week commencing
September 12, 1855.
Respectfully, J- Camak, Sec., S. C. A. S.
Election of Directors of Central Bank. —The fol
lowing are the Directors of the Central Rank, elected
Samuel G. Cattle,, J. M. W itbers, W. W. Allen, J.
11. Murphy, Geo. Goldthwaite, Wm. M. Marks, Nat.
Harris, C. T. Pollard, F. M. Gilmer, jr., Wm. Knox.
The election for President and other officers it is
thought, will be held to-day. The stock in this bank we
learn, is now held exclusively by Montgomery and Mobile
—Mobile, it is stated, by purchasing the New York stock
has the majority of shares and the control of the Bank,
at least, such is the statement of rumor.— Ala. Journal ,

Compliment to Mr. Dowdell. -Madison, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Jacksonville Ala., Republi
can, writing about motters and things, says :
“There are a few members from the different States,
who labor hard while hero to expedite and dispatch the
business that centos up before them. Among them are
the lion. James F. Dowdell, Benjamin Fitzpatrick and
C. C. Ciay, jr., ot your State. Although Mr. Dowdell’s
temporary absence Wm the city a short time, was much
regretted, yet his speedy return was greeted by the social
and political circles in which he moves. The bland man
ners of this gentleman, the soundness of his head, with
lucid views upon the cardinal points of democracy, emi
nently qualify him to exert an influence in political cir
cles, which can be attained but by few. Mr. Dowdell’s
eourse is onward and upward, and Alabama can readily
appreciate the abilities of this modest and meritorious
statesman, and will soon, justly too, honor him with the
most elevated position within her gift. In truth, he has
an old head upon a young man’s shoulders ; and at this
time his mind is more intellectual, with a purer heart and
more upright motives than some who occupy seats in the
Senate of tho U. S-”
Vicksburg , Shreveport and Texas Railroad. —We
learn from tlie Shreveport Gazette that on the 12th ult.,
ground was broken at Greenwood, in Caddo parish, on
the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad, and about
one hundred men commenced work.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
£ BANK OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, }
Savannah, J3th March, 1855. f
WITHIN the past two weeks, a number of Bilis have been
presented at the Bank of the State of Georgia, purport
ing to be of this Bank, of the denomination of SSO, pavable at
the Branch in Augusta, to John Phinzy, dated 4th March, 183(5,
and Bth Nov., 1840, signed A. Porter, Cashier, and W. B. Bul
loch, President, which are spurious. The genuine plate of the
sb’s is so nearly imitated that it is well calculated to deceive.
The signatures are well executed, ‘apparently engraved, and
traced over with pen and ink. The paper is thick, and of a
dingy yellow, and the back of the counterfeit not printed in
red ink. The general appearance is rather good, but the fraud
may be detected by noticing the filling up of the words
Branch, Augusta, the number, dale,payee, and the thickness and
color of thc)paper.
