He was born in tiie year 1785. At the age of nineteen he emigrated from his birth land and settled in Augusta. For forty seven years, tiie whole of his life in Geoiga —save fifteen years in Hancock county— lie had been a citizen of Augusta. For nearly half that porio I lie was connected with one of our banking institutions, the August a Insurance and Hanking Company.

At a banquet given recently, in Pllila delpliia, to the eminent English author ami essayist, William llepworth Dixon, editor of the London Athena um, one of the speakers gave some interesting details in relation to the family and descendants of the illustrious founder of the Keystone State. It appears that there are now living but two representatives of the great Quaker statesman—-I. Granville Penn, who visited this country a few years since, and a brother who is itisanf. Mr. Per.n ,in his trip to this country ascertained that the estates he expected to recover here, had either passed beyond his legal control, or were valueless ;• and the only remaining representatives of the founder of the great commonwealth which bears bis name, have became re duce 1 and are in need of assistance to relieve them from the actual pinch of poverty. Stops are to be taken in the State Legis lature of Pennsylvania, looking to the speedy relief of these unfortunate repre sentatives of Penn, and it is thought that a handsome provision will be made tor them. Tax on Cotton. —Truthfully says, the New Vork /'i'lling Express, the tax is unjust and oppressive—unjust, as it is levied upon a people who are not permit ted to have representation in Congress oppressive, as it is imposed upon an in uu -t. which has been so damaged by the derangement of the Southern labor sys tem, as to demand the fostering, care of the Government to enable it to recuperate —not heavier burthens, as if to crush it otit of exist, nee.
