TA r K«TKi:N BANK OF GEOBGIA-
I t v This institution will resume business outlie first
j of October next, and until a general resumption of specie
i payments, will continue to pay her liabilities in such funds
I as are passing at par, either in the western part of Geor
gia, North Alabama, or East Tennessee. When a general
resumption takes [dace in this State, the Western Bank
will be, found behind no other Bank in redeeming her
notes w ith specie.
This hank, like many others, had done aliheral business
in accommodation notes, or what the hanks call sluic paper,
and which was found too “slow” to be made available
when the great pressure came—a pressure that compelled
the soundest and best managed banks to strike their
colors. It is not surprizing, then, that an institution,
whose managers deserved more credit for plain honesty
than financial skill, should have stopped at such a crisis;
while other banks, with larger embarrassments and larger
I credit, should have continued to be moving “things of
life.”
W ith a capital as little impaired as any bank that has
lost any tiling, the Western Bank has now in suit and in
judgment, seventy-five or eighty thousand dollars of good
claims, which during the presentyear she has been press
ing to an issue, with a view to discharge fully her obliga
tions to the public. With these means, and her cash in
hand, she cannot fail to pay by the Ist of October, her
whole circulation (now little over thirty-five thousand dol
lars) with all her other indebtedness, which is merely
| nominal.
Thus circumstanced, the Western Bank of Georgia,
will, in resuming her station among the Georgia Banks,
seek no more credit than she deserves, and can fairly
mvi ii t:i inin a legitimate course of business. Knowing her
condition to he sound, I pledge wliateverreputation 1 may
have, that no business will be done, during my connection
with the hank, that may endanger the rights of those who
confide in the goodness of her hills.
An agency of the Bank will be fixed at Columbus, Ga.,
which is designed as a convenience to the hanks and peo
ple of the interior having settlements to make with her.
All notes payable at the Agency, will be redeemed with
specie, on demand, now and forever. Letters to the Cash
-1 ier will he addressed to Coin tubus, Georgia.

U. S. n AIL LINE TO THE NORTH.
FMNHE only Line carrying the great Northern Mail, in
eL conn ctien with the Charleston and Wilmington
Steamboat and Rail-Road Line, commencing at the north
ern end of that line and running through Petersburg, Rich
mond, Fredericksburg, Washington, Baltimore, Ac., by
Rail-Roads and Steamboats.
Travellers will fi d this lino perfect throughout. The
Rail-Roads are in fine order—the Engines and Cars new,
and ofthe most approved construction, and the Steamboats
unsurpassed by any in the Union. There is now no delay
I at any point and no expense or trouble attending the tran
-1 sition of persons or baggage from one Rail Road to an
-1 other. From Richmond north, the route is now overby
j daylight, and the trip is made from Welden to Baltimore
in 21 hours, including all stoppng s.
I Os the two routes going north from the Wilmington
I Rail Road, the Mail route is the short st by 20 miles, and
being nearly all rail-road it will be found the most certain
i and expeditions. The other line through Portsmouth
; can only compete with it, when it has an early start, with
I favorable weather, fair winds and smooth water. This
1 will be evident to every traveller when he reflects that it
1 has nearly 200 miles of steamboat navigation, on a wide
i Bay, for the most part out of sight of land.
On the Mail Line, there are no changes from cars to
; steamboats in the dead o night; no starting from a crowd
' eil harbor in the dark; no delays from fogs or gales of wind;
j no sea-sickness, and no long line of steamboats forced to
j run at the top of their speed to get through in time—all of
which will be found on the Portsmouth route. The Mail
Line will lie found (lie most interesting of the two, ns it
j passes through large, and flourishing towns, a pleasant
i country in sight of Mount Vernon (close to which the
I steamboat on the Potomac passes,') and throagh Washing
! ton City, which, it is believed, are much more agreeable
j objects than tha pines and swamps, or the endless pros-
I pect of water on the other.
| The Mail Line is the only direct route to Washington.
Passengers by it reach there a day ahead of those who
| take the other line. It is the only, route to the Virginia
1 Springs. There is now on this route In the direction of
| the Springs, 160 miles of rail road carrying passengers
within a days ride of them.
The Fare is the same to Baltimore as by the other line,
and passengerspaythrough.
For farther Information apply' to the Agents of the Pe
-1 tersbnrsr Rail Road Company at Garysburgor Welden.
