v N Piiis institution will resume business on the first
o f October ner.t, and until a general resumption of specie
■ payments, will continue to pay her liabilities!!! such funds
j as are passing at par, either in the western part of Geor
gia, North Alabama, or East Tennessee. When a general
resumption takes place in this State, tlie Western Bank
{ will be found behind no other Bank in redeeming her
I notes with specie.
This hank, like many others, had done aliber d business
in aecoin nodation notes, or what the banks call slaw paper,
■Mid 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 honesti/
than financial skill, should have stopped at such a crisis;
while other banks, wirh larger embarrussmints and larger
credit, should have continued to be movm.fr “this M's of
life.”
With a capital as little impaired as any bank that lias
10-t any thing, ihe Western Bank lias now in suit and in
Ju Igment, seventy-five or eighty thousand dollars of good
cl ii.ns, which during the present year she has been press
ing to an issue, wiih 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-live thousand dol
lars'! with all her other indebtedness, which is merely
nominal.
Thus ci-cumst meed, the Western Bank of Georgia,
will, in resuming her station among the Georgia Banks,
seek no more credit than she deserves, and can fairly
m detain in a legitimate course of business. Knowing her
condition to b” sound, I pledge whatever reputation 1 may
have, that no business will be done, during my connection
with the bank, that may endanger the rights of those who
confide in the goodness of her bills.
An agency of tlie Bank will lie fixed at Columbus, Ga.,
which is designed as a convenience o the banks and peo
ple of the inferior ha ing settlements to make with Iter
I Ail no rs payable at the Agency, will be redeemed with
specie, on deni and, now and forever. Letters to the Cash
ier vv ill be addressed to Columbus, Georgia.

OF THE COTTON GIN MA
1 CC KMil AND GINER’S GUIDE. — By Templeton
1 R kid. —The importance of -prope; ly preparing the staple
| of any country or section is well known, but to no country
or section is it of such importance as those that grow or
; produce the cotton as their only staple. T.isrefore, under
this and other considerations, I propose to publish !»y sub
! seriptioa my system and practice in Cotton Gin making
! and Ginery.
Willi the advantage of ;n my years’ experience, the sa
crifice of much time and labor, and believing that I have
brought it nearer to perfection ill an aay other person, I
submit it to tiie public in a concise and correct manner,
wi .h my late practice, and many improvements, besides the
j valuable one of the application of the .Friction Wheels,
and new mode of making t e Brush, (which I have patented
in the Republic of Texas.) and tlie Brake or Agitato", my
1 i.-t improvement, which much increases the speed in (lin
ing and improves the Cotton. (It is well represented in
the Plates and explained in the work.) The work to con

detail, with reference and description of every part. Also,

tion of the Gin, -fee., calculations of gear in speeding tlie
| Gin, with particular description, explanation and direc
tions to the Planter in constructing Ivs Gin-House and
Gear, and general management ol t'ic Gin, Cotton, &c.—
With the rules and explanations given 111 the proposed
work, any good workman may execute the whole plan
well, and the planter he enabled to judge for himself in
construct! ig liis House, Gear, &c„ and in selecting a Gin
that is rightly made in every respect, and of good mate

picking and moteing his cotton well, so as to command tlie
' higher price m the market; ic the durability’of his Gin,
which if made by the directions given will last to pick a
i thousand bags of cotton, (this would require three or four
' common made Gins to do the same.) And further, there is
| no risk or danger of burning the House, Cotton,&c., by
taking fire from the Gin on the new friction wheel plan,
though you were to give it double the motion Gins running
on boxing would bear. Nothing will be set dow n in the
proposed work but positive facts, being the result (all pre
judices aside) of fair and repeated experiments, (a safe
guide lo mechanical knowledge and skill.)

U. fL IHASL LINK TO THE NORTH.
only Line carrying the great Northern Midi, in
jSL conn ctien with the Charieston and Wilmington !
Steamboat and Rail-Rntd Line, commencing at tiie north
ern end of that line and running through Pete sine g, Rich
mond, Fredericksburg, W.iohiiigiou, Baltimore, Ac., by :
Rail-Roads and Steamboats. *
Travellers will li d this line perfect throughout. The
Rail-Roads arc in fine order—the Engines and Cars new,
and oftlie 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
sition of persons or baggage from one Rail Road lo an- 1
: other. From Richmond no tl), the route is now over by
j daylight, and the trip is made from Weldeu to Baltimore
in2l hours, including all stoppages.
Ofthe two routes going north from the Wilmington |
Rail Road, the Mail route i- the short st hy 2) 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
favorable weather, fair Winds and smooth water. This
r will be evident to every traveller when he reflects that it
has nearly 200 miles of steamboat navigation, on u wide
’ Bay, for the most part out of sight of laud,
j On the Mail Lino, there are no changes from cars to
steamboats in the dead o night; no starting from a crowd* -
’ ed harbor in the dark; nodelays from fogsor gales of wind; i
' ■ 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 ot
which will he found on the Portsmouth route. The Mail
' Line will he found the most interesting ofthe two. as it
pusses through large and flourishing towns, a pleasant
1 country in sight of Mount Vernon (close to which the
'. steamboat on the Potomac passes,) and through Washing
ton City, which, it is believed, are much more agreeable j
1 objects than tha pines and swamps, or the endless pros- i
’ pert 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 .
j take the other line. It Is the only, route to the Virginia
Springs. There is now on this route In the direction of i
T the Springs, 160 miles of rail road carrying pass‘ngers |
w ithin a days ride of them.
I' , The Fare is the same to Baltimore as by the other line, 1
