IT Wrdneaday Morning, Jan 21. The communication of “A Countryman," has been received and will he published in a day or two, together with our reply to questions. In consequence of the failure of the Northern Express mail, beyond Columbia, 8. C., we re ceived this morning, no further intelligence from Canada. Wo understand that the Hanks of this city now receive on depositc or in payment of dues, the notes of the Hawktnsvillo Bank. They have hitherto refused them since some, short time pre vious to the suspension of specie payments. The Legislature of Ohio are about repealing the law which prohibited the United States Bank i of Pennsylvania from establishing a branch in that State. In to-day’s paper will be found a statement of the condition of the two Banks in Colum bus. Abet- making a great show of strength, and many grandiloquent declarations of a dc lermlhaiion to pay out the last dollar, added Movers magnificent pufl’sfrom our friend Flour noy of the Enquirer, about the e.biltly of the Banks of that city to “shell out the shiners," the ColUmbua Bank has at length come into the mea sure of suspehsloti of specie payment. Its refu sal to do so at first, sprung from a false pride, and it will now got no credit from the public for having held out as long as it did. With the Insurance Bank, the case is quite different.— That institution has so many enemies on ac count of Mr Biddle’s connection with it, who would gladly embraced any and every opportu nity to break it down, that it was right in confin ing to pay specie and is still right to do so. We ask the people of Georgia whether they have been any thing the loosers by the sale of ibis bank to Mri Biddle! It has been made safer and sound er by the change, and we believe the people generally place their confidence in those banks that kre known to be the safest.

[mu THE CHUONICLE AND SENTINEL.] | The Constitutionalist of this morning stated ; [that the Bank of Hamburg was drawing sight j jtbeeks on Savannah, at par; or. Charleston at \ ; Brr cent, premium, and on New York at 2} ■crntlcman applied to the Bank this morning : H| a check on Charleston, and was informed if he paid for the check with the current I of this State, Ij per cent, would be re tired, —if in the notes of the Rank s of this I 1 per cent, —and half per cent lor the notes Bla Bank of Hambu'g; and of ■ .curse 'he -ante difl'eretice is mdde in payment of checks on Sa vannah and New York. Under these circum stances the paragraph in the Constitutionalist is incurred —if authorised hy the Bank it is a gross deception: for it tells our citizens that they can buy exchange in Hamburg at a lower tale than from the Banks ol this city, when the contrary is the fact. A merchant who is compelled to purchase a check on Charleston, will find it to his advantage to gi,e 1 por cent premium, paya ble in current notes, to a bank in this city, ra ther than to give the Bank of Hamburg .} per ct. payable in its own notes. Any one making the proper inquiries will find this to be correct, for it is next to impossible to obtain their notes to any considerable amount. An editor in making statements like the one above alluded to, should be sure ho is aware of all the circumstances con nected with it, lest ho mislead commercial men abroad, which the one in question will most as suredly do, MERCATOR, I January 23.

The following extract of a letter from a gentle man at Tampa gives some further patliculars of Col Taylor’s affair on Uie 26th nit. TAMr.ut.tr, Jan. 3. Major Graham has just left our cabin. Fite Major was in the battio fought hy Col. Taylor’s command, with Alligator and Coacoochee, and their loaves.

The Indians shot from the high grass and from trees which they had ascended, ll was expected Jcoup would have joined Taylor, hd was at last advices, 00 miles in advance of Fort Mellon. Col. Nelson has had some skirm ishing. This is all the Indian news we have been able to gather, except that Jumper and Holaoochee, anil 140 Indians (CO captured) will be here to morrow, and will he immediately transported. The Major thinks Taylor’s command can’t get out again, under 10 or 15 days—they want hor ses. Shipwreck.— The Schr. Allure, Capt.
