Dear .Sir—ln the Chronicle & Sentinel op

R. H. T.” in which ho says I slated that I had
noticed one stalk of corn, of the Hayden seed,
which had thirteen large cars, nine shoots that had
silks on them, and lour shoots which had no silks
at the lime, but I thought they would have lime
enough to make nubbins, which would make
twenty-two large cars and four nubbins to the
stalk.
Now, sir, I have never had the pleasure of
seeing “ R. 11. T.” but should like to become
acquainted with the gentleman, for the express
purpose of saying to him that he in a contemptible

We copy the following from the Savannah
Republican:
Liberty County, July 30, IB3S.
To the Editors of the. Savannah Republican :
Gentlemen—You will probably confer a ben
efit on the community at large, by giving publi
city to the following, as a caution against a set of
rogues who arc prowling about Savannah and the
adjacent counties, for the purpose of stealing
Negroes. One ot the aforesaid gentlemen came
to Mr. Id. McPale’s, who lives in the upper part
of Liberty county, a few weeks ago, and agreed
to plough for him : he staid but a short time, and
went to Savannah—promising to re urn in three
days ;he staid a week, and then came back. We
have since ascertained that one of Mr. McF’s
negroes had promised to meet him in Savannah,
to be escorted to a land of Freedom, but failed to
meet, which caused the villain to return. As
soon as he came back, be attempted to persuade
one of Mr. Jiinos’ to go with him, and succeeded
in gening mure of Mr. McFalcs’ negroes willing
to go ; but one of them betrayed the wretch to his
master, who said nothing to him, hut allowed him
to arrange every thing with the negroes. His
plait WUf9 IllUl liu Wliulll Have IUU llUl^rUMuiliuwo'
the day bclorc ; and on Saturday night last, the
28th inst. lire negroes wore to meet him on the
Savannah road, nine miles below Mr. McFalcs';
from whence he told them that Ire would lake
them, first to Savannah, and after dressing them
in stylo ho would carry them to a couuiry where
they would bo as free as any one, and could have
white women for wives. On the night appointed
lor bis meeting the negroes, two citizens ot lire
neighborhood went down a little below (be place
where lire negroes were to rendezvous, arid laid
in ambush on the road where it was calculated
they would pass —and sure enough, about ten
l/clock at he came along with unc of the
negroes in a high talk, giving a description of the
land of freedom. As soon as he came opposite to
where the men were waiting, they sprang upon
him, tied, and led him about a quarter of a mile
from the road, where they stripped him and laid
- him across a lug, and applied that most salutary
of all laws for rogues, called Lynch’s, in the
shape of ninety lashes on the bare back, and dis
missed him on bis promise to leave lire stale of
Georgia in twenty four hours. He calls himself
Win. Louis, and is about twenty one or two years
old, over six feet high, and very slender. Louis
1 is not bis proper name, but wo arc hopeful that
i the blessings of Lynch will restore him to it.—
lie confessed that one of Iris cousins is now in
, Savannah, and who is a chunky, heavy built
fellow, quite stouf, and calls himself James (Jar,
' roll, has three negroes ready to start trom that
1 city. The people would do well to look out, as
theic is probably a gang of them concerned.
Respectfully, yours, A CITIZEN.

! Money Market,
r Thursday, I’. M.
t This is packet day for the London packet. Bill
drawers pul up the rate of Exchange to 108 j per
1 cent, full half per cent above the last packet day.
1 It is thought that the fellers will bo able to keep
1 up rales by the Great Western to about the pre.
3 sent prices. The Batik of the United Slates is
drawing; and its bills of course are the favorite,
and at the highest rate.
I Slocks it will be seen, have undergone no ma
terial change to day. Stoninglon, which is the
1 great slock that commands the most attention,
- was hammered down a little. Within the last
; few weeks more than half the capital has been
, bought and sold.—lt is believed that the extensive
operations that have been made arc principally
on account of the Philadelphians. They have
, gone extensively into the purchase, and princi
pally through one or two Brokers. The Stoning
ton Stock is at this time owned pretty much in
our sister city.
The operations in the money market continue
to be light, on account ol the absence of so many
of the operators. Wc learn from various wa
tering and fashionable places, that they arc crow
ded to suffocation; and that not only many of our
own met'chanls, but also those from the south
’ and west are congregated there. Whenever the
I weather becomes more cool, we may expect to
- see an increased business done.
There is now and lias been for two weeks past,
a pretty good business done in Pearl street.
Goods are now being forwarded in considerable
quantities to the west.
The Great Western has anticipated ten pack
ets that sailed before her, viz. four from Liverpool
three from London, and tiiree from Havre. Al
though these vessels will bring no later news, it
r is known that they have large, valuable and as
sorted cargoes; (hoy will bo dropping in every
few days, and will furnish not only a largo supply
but an excellent assortment ol dry and other
goods. It is the opinion of many that the fall
slocks will be most aburtdai,., and lully ample lor
any demand.
' j Stocks. —Notwithstanding the extreme hot
j weather anil the absence of many members of the
i Hoard, slocks are very well sustained. The large
' time sales made it short lime sin«e require large
■* purchases to fulfill contracts—the consequence
| is that there is a good deal done daily.

lie said about 5 miles olf, that he had just temov
t ed a family who heard the report of guns and the

the scenes 1 ever saw, or wish to see, presented
itself to view. On reaching the ground, a man,
I wife and (our of his own, and two of his sister’s
children had fallen by the Indians. Three ehil.

spot, one about ‘I years old had been shot through

1 hail her senses, perfectly. This was the most

her ashing as 1 could, (ill obliged to go in search
ot the Indians. We left a guard In protect them
- ami adminislotcd to them all that they could, hut
all expired in less than twenty minutes after we
j- left. The Indians scattered in all directions, and
it was some time hefoio wo could find the trail;
wo followed them about twenty five miles and
* until turther pursuit could not be had, having
• then gone into the Okalimoka, as far as while man
, could go. Wc left our horses and waded nearly
to our hips in mud for two miles, which was as
much ns wc could stand. Wo lotutned that night

returned to camp, then camp , but now camp

ily. Two children escaped—nno of them says
that a White Man was with the Indiana, and
caught him—asked linn if he would let him go—
which the man did. Said now, damn you, tun,
and so he escaped. On our return, we found all
the families hail removed to our encampment.

To tire Editor of the Courier. i
From the Georgia Mirror. ,
We have Lr some lime, viewed with rcgrol, (
the Jim Crow course which has been pursued by
the People’s Press, (Augusta.) The Editor of 1
that paper was formerly a State Rights man, and 1
as much opposed to Martin Van Duron as it was 1
I possible lor man to be, but in bis zeal for the Sub '
{Treasury be has sullered himself to be enrolled ’ '
upon the Van Duren list, and freely answers loins
I name in their tanks. I
with ihe past we are unable to conjecture—and
: how he can link his destiny with a parly he has
opposed with so much apparent earnestness and
zeal, not only while ho was concerned in the pub
lication, some few years ago in Millodgeville, of
the “Times ami Statu Rights Advocate,” but even i
since he has boon the editor of the People's Press, i
we are equally at a loss, i
We do not wish to he understood ns ex pres, i
sing our icgrct that the Edilor should be in favor i
of the Sub Treasury—hut wo do regret that he (
did not curb his feelings on this subject, and not (
have suffered them to vunaruuy wiili his better £
judgement and pursue a course which identifies j
him in every respect with Van Huron and his |
friends. ,
but the Editor may deny being a Van Duren ’
man, and in fact, if vve recollect right, he has do- (
nied it; lie may not he, hut we cannot see why,
when he makes the Sub Treasury a consideration *
of paramount importance, ami denounces and .
proscribes Ids former friends because they differ ,
from him on the subject—when ho links himself 1
with the Van buret: party, and as Editor of a 1
public press, chimes in with every song of praise 1
to which the Globe and every Van Huron press in '
the country tune their keys. If the editor is not I
a Van Buron man, however, wc should hko to '
know if he would support a State Rights man v
fur Ihe Presidency, if that man was opposed to I
the Sub Treasury] What ticket does he intend I
to give his support at the next Congressional elec, c
lion—the tSiuto Rights or Van Huron?—Will lie
vote with his former friends or his late opponents! i
If he intends to support the State Rights ticket, j
Ids course as Editor will not agree with that vote, f
for he has labored as hard as any man to bring (
about a disunion in (he ranks which will, if that |
disunion continues, of course, seriously injure ,
the ticket. If he supports the Van Buien ticket, .
be must be a Van Huron man—belonging to the
Van Huron party —with the collar around his (
neck and the name of his master inscribed upon
. it—and all his professions and protestations will
not convince the people to the contrary.

questioned, the obligation to respond imperii,
live. Indeed, for myself, such a cull was not
omy desirable, hut necessary. lam happy to
bo able to invite the people of Georgia to the
consideration of my opinions, upon the topics
I referred to, without subjecting myself to the
imputation ut being indelicately obtrusive.
Necessary and desirable, because I am not
willing that my opinions should bo subject to
misconstruction; and 1 am solicitous, Hint the
voters ol our Stale should go to the polls with
accurate knowledge ut the sentiments of those
who seek their suffrage. The exposition
which 1 propose to make, shall bo brief and
ciuidip. I shiil make nujatlenipl to establish
by argument, tny own positions. For 1 am
not come to convince others of the rectitude
ol my sentiments, hut simply to dvclarc them.
1 shall attack no opinions wantonly, variant
from my own. 1 have no cause to plead—no
party to build up, and I trust, no hostility to
appease. Asking charity as to opinions upon
subjects about which the greatest and ho-t
have differed, it is peculiarly proper that 1
concede it to others. The convictions of my
own mind, are such as are satisfactory to my
self; whether they so far harmonise with the
opinions and interests of my follow oilmens,
as to juslily them, in committing to my keep
ing the honorable ar.d weighty trusts which
devolve upon a representative in Congress, is
a quest,o.i to be determined by them. And
that it will be wisely and justly settled, 1 have
the strongest guarantees in the wisdom and
enlightened magnanimity of the people of
my native Stale. If the views l*un about to
express are at variance with the best policy of
Georgia, I will only say, that it is by no
means too late tor mu to withdraw from the
canvass, giving place to some one of the ma
ny able suns of the Stale who may be more
fortunate Lliau myself, in estimating her in
terests.

This is a great quest.on now ripe for adjust
ment. Upon the correct adjustment of it, 1
uni satisfied depends the future permanency
of our system of Government, it has grown
in interest since the country found ilself out
of debt; and possessing a vast surplus reve
nne, with the prospect of rapid increase. The
surplus lovenuo bus created the magnitude ol
tins question. Until the custody ol it became
matter of moment, wo beard but little said
about the obligations of the government to
lurnisli a currency to the country on the one
hand; or the right of the Hanks to a k Go
vernment patronage on the other. At the
raou 1 .!;, I been in the habit ol believing,
that all parties have uniformly conceded, that,
an union of federal power, with the monied
interest and institutions of the country, would
he disastrous to liberty, and fatal to ns particu •
larly. A wedding ol the sword and the purse
is one of these abominations which Republi
cans learn to hale in the nurseday. lienee,
when General Jackson, by Ins pel JJauk pu*
licy, assumed control over the public funds
when an intimate an irresponsible connection
was lirst formed between the Government and
the local Rinks, the usurpation (tor such iL in
truth was,) mot with the stem denunciations
ot the parly to which we gentlemen, belong
We Uid well to denounce it. For a more
resistless instrument of power has not, and
in my opinion, will not bo devised. An in
strumentality combining the authority of the
Government —its swelling revenue ami official
patronage, with the capital, directois, debtors,
dependents and stock holders of a Ira n of
associated Ranks, reaching from the St. Law
rence to the Gulf, and all wielded by an Exe
cutive of overwhelming popular.ty. This
combination was of searching and sweeping
power; und the greatest danger resulted from
the fuel, that it penetrated so easily and clii
c ently the States, controlling their currency,
their improvements, and their politics. The
very excesses of the system dissolved it. Too
eager and hold a use ol this rod of power,
shivered it in the hands ot Mr. Van Rurcn.
The Wings of this Stale at once declared the
doctrines of the divorce —denied the necessity
of right of moil ed and political unions, unci
unfurled anew the banner of State Rights.—
The head men and chiefs of the party assn
mod the positions, that Government should
be separate from the Ranks. So thought our
segniors —sachems whoso wisdom was wont
to guide the action of the council house. 1
thought with them t think with them still;
and ahull scarcely change my mind, until the
constitution of my country is altered.
1 do not believe, however, that it is possi
ble to devise a plan, by virtue of which, the
Government will bo wholly divested ol influ
ence over the currency. So long os it has
money to receive and disburse, (and particu
larly if it should control a large surplus,) i! will
exert more or less of influence over the mone
tary affairs of the country. This influence,loo,
resells froniji cornbinalmirof money and poll- \
lieal power. The Government brings into
the money market, the influence of an always
responsible dealer, and competes with all oth
ers, upon greatly the most advantugous terms, j
Who is clothed with the attribute ol perpetual
solvency; and witli a supposed (at hast,) |
moral rectitude, which will not permit her to I
do wrong to any body. Ko far us the conuec-1
Hon is incidental, at.d results from the obhga
lions of the Government,to collect and dis
burse the revenue, 1 cannot see how upon 1
any plan such connection is avoidable. But. 1
so fir as the Government seeks by legislation j
ito control the currency; or to com ml the
i banking institutions though the agency ot a |

the Government are protected against ulti

her disposal, to ioster such institutions and
such interests as have a controlling iiiHuliico
over it. It is certainly no part ol the rights
or obligations of the Government to furnish
( a good currency. And when litis idea is prac
ticably illustrated in our country, we shall see
, an overshadowing and constantly expanding
todenil power, sustained by the money patron

The mere receipt and payment of die revenue,

enough to stir the ambition of parties, or the ava

pins and the government credit, which the banks
de-ire. ft is the annually quadrupling millions
which a few years of peace and prosperity will
pom into the Treasury, which stimulates the
government to seize and wield them. It is our pol

in die riglils ol theßlutcs, and the wealth and in

that it places the selected hanks at the meiey of {

I have been, front early life, opposed to a Na,
tion-il Hank. My best reflections and most care- 1
Ini investigations have confirmed the opinion,
that Congress has no power In charier a Hank. I I
have long been committed upon this subject, ami 1
•ny judgment now asks no relief from such corn- J
initial. Opposition tea National Hank lay deep |
in the elements of our parly organization. We c
shall in vain expect Hie respect duo to consistent I
politicians, if we become the advocates Os a Na. I
tional Hank. We cannot escape from our pi ins (
ciples if we would. I would not, if I could. The i
follies or corruptions of the Administration—the c
severe reverses of the limes—the wretched disor- j
tier of the exchanges, alforrl no excuse for ahan ,
doning those principles which appertain lo us as j
a party. The world may chuiigo around us, but v
our principles remain the same. Expediences (
urn good rules of conduct, when they fall in with .
principle, never otherwise. I form my opinions (
without reference lo present evils. 1 lime bee i

rimentg ot the lute and present Administration,
f conclude that the policy of the Resolution of
18lli is the safest in every aspect in which 1 can
view the question. That resolution directed
that all the debts, duties and taxes falling due to
Ihe United States might ho paid in irofos of
hanks which are payable ami paid on dcimmd, in
the legal currency of the United Stales. Making
no discrimination whatever, ami prescribing no

live—no provision of law, hut the fact of the bills
being redeemable with specie. Such provision
ordered hy the law, mid placed beyond the Coll,
liol ol “orders in council,” and Jixccnfive inter
medling, would operate as a salutary inducement
to good management, and thus aid in preserving
the soundness of the currency. As to who shall
keep the money of the United States in its pro
cess ol receipt and | liymem, that must he left in
a great degree to the discretion of ‘he Govern
ment. 'l 'ho Government should be left its indi
viduals are, to choose its temporary depositorleaf
nor do I conceive that this power ot choice would
give to it any seriously alarming p iwer over the
-money or the currency; since the depositee must
be small, ought lo be special, on fvery short
periods; and the safety of I lie government funds
, should be provided for by the ample security of
die receiving and disbursing agents, or by penal
enactments, II necessary. I see no'more practica
ble divorce than this. And in this, upon (ho
supposition ol there being no surplus, I can sco
inifeinfnl union ol Government and Hanks.
I ho only power left to the Government over the
banks, is found m its capability of refusing their
bills wheq not redeemable with specie—certainly
a salutary check, and a negative power only.
It may be said that all this could not answer now,
all the hanks being suspended. To which I reply,
il I am to prescribe 10.- temporary evils, I should
apply temporary remedies; hut 1 am now looking
to what ought to hn.ihq uniform, policy rtf \J,«
he a hotter currency (or the Government, and a
worse currency for the people, but both would
rest upon the same fooling. Debtors to dm
Government in Georgia could discharge their
obligations in die money they are compelled lo
receive. Ihe lime G not lar removed, when wc
ol the South shall make our ow i importations—
shall have a Southern Hank ot Hanks, charioted
hy the Stales, of sulli' ient capital lo answer the
ends of Son (hern commerce; with these objects
in view, all we ask is, that our money and one
banks shall he on Ihe footing, in relation to llio
Government, as the diplomatists say, “of the most
favored,” We shall ask no government nniorr
for our hanks—we shall resist all government
war upon them. And this equality of privilege
will be secured lo us Upon llio plan above inti,
touted. Such arc my views. Doubtless soilin’
may have expected that I would have mounted
someone ol the rampant, inipnlsve hobbies of thu
times. Such are now .undeceived. lam but a
Stales light man; and when my views of right
conduct are at Miriance with the principles of
Republicanism, I shall solve dm difficulty, by
retiring at mice from all connections with politics.
To lie moderate, is often equivalent lo being
criminal. The, ju.ticc of on enlightened public
will, 1 know, acquit me of the crime; albeit they
may not commend roe for die virtue.
In conclusion, allow me to say, that I belong
neither lo the house of York or of J, in faster. My
principles will not permit me to support eidier
Van Huron or Clay. The latter I admire greatly,
as one of the pure itnd consistent—a generous,
gillcd, and noble man. Hut he is a Tariff man
—an Internal Improvement man—a Hank man
—a latitudinarian; tis such, he may not expect
the support of a Stale Rights man; Mr Van
Huron, to say nothing übont the long-, long cata
logue, advised and supported the i’roclumalioa
and the Force Hill. That is enough.
I Shall ho most willing to yield my humble
support lo ilny gentleman, whom at a proper tirno
die Stale Rights poly may designate for the
Presidency. 13. A. NDSBIT.
