Dwellings [» . ° being somewhat scarce in this neighborhood, it is s unfortunate that so few can enjoy the blessings ot J a permanent'residence in this part of the city. . But to those who cannot secure dwellings, it is I recommended that they send their families, par- I, ticularly children, to walk in this street early in • the morning, at which lime a promenade on the , sweet banks of the Alayor's canal is a most 0 delightful walk. The morning is recommended ] as the best time to promenade, when the swee 1 odor from the Alayor's kitchen slops can be most graciously inhaled. PUTT. 1 Waynesboro, August Tth 1838. Dear .Sir—ln the Chronicle & Sentinel op [he 3d inst, I have seen a communication signed 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 liar ami a scoundrel , in attempting to impose upon a virtuous community. Respectfully your=, _ A. R. SKINNER. 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. I non Ike A Y Daily Express, Aug 10. ! 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. JACKSONviixr Aug. 'J.

' Thursday lasi. b "Foht Gh.lh.anii, E. P. July 31st. i- Sir:—The express has just arrived from Kille , t Creek, and il appears that the Indians are coin ntencing their career in Georgia. 1 havs received u letter Itoin an ollicer of our regiment, who was s “i> eye witness to this melanchaly fuel.” d Camp VVturs, Geo. July 23d. . “Forty live miles northwest of Cenlrevile, on „ Sunday morning, a nun canto full speed into camp, with the cry of Indians. 1 asked where.— lie said about 5 miles olf, that he had just temov t ed a family who heard the report of guns and the e screams of people. We were in our saddles in a t low moments, and under full speed to the spot j where the alarm originated ; and O, God ! of all 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. dren ol the C were alive when we reached the spot, one about ‘I years old had been shot through ( the abdomen, ami lay asleep on Ibo dead mother, j another about 10 rods from the mother, but, 0, j horrible to tell. I found a line'youug lady of 18 shot in two places and dirked in another willi , about SO hogs around her, and sbo yet alive and 1 hail her senses, perfectly. This was the most , trying time I had ever seen. I gave her cold tv»« 5 lcr . which she wished much, and remained with 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 found .ill buried, Bin number, in one grave. We returned to camp, then camp , but now camp Wilde, that being the name of the murdered fant' 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. “We are making arrangements to scour the country about Fort Manning and its vicini’y - la haste, the Express awaiting.” Your ob’t serv’t. N. DARLING, Lieut, ‘.id Dragoons, 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. Tub Istbiinational Conr-muiif.—We tin- < dersland, says the New York Commercial Advcr- I liser, that the Committee of the Senate, to which t 1 (he petitions fur an international law of copy t righi were referred, reported, before the close of r 1 the session, agairrst that measure. Wo have been shewn a letter from a ship mas- , ter of this purl, which stales that on the reception t of the news of the loss of the I’nhvki, at Livci- > pool, the American shipping generally in that ( port, hoisted their colors half mast; thus express j sing their sorrow and regret for the great loss of life on that occasion, and their condolence with j the bereaved families and friends of the departed.

Maco.v, July vMth, 1388. Cent lumen: In the Messenger of the lUlli msUvou invite the Congressional Ticket, no by the State Rights Party, to make •‘aintvowul of their views upon the engross sing topics which are now agitating the public mind.” Your right to make this call is no. 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. Thu engrossing topics about which yon have spoken, are those which are connected not CV>« currfim-.V. Ami the most vital of nil lLr»0 LOJliCh, IS lllU (pltiM.mil, vviujuitri tin; \m o- 1 vcriinierit shall he separated from the Ranks. 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 | ar •Mfjf • -• * - s National Hank, of its equivalent, an indopcii ' dent. Sub Tieiuury, tire aemmiplion is unholy, wanton and demoralizing. The whole obli gations ot the Govcrnmqrrt, touchincr money * matters, arc to collect its own dttefl °m such 1 currency ns will pay its own debts. Ad turslce ' for the people, she could do no less; being j liersulf a depository, she cun do no more; anti 1 such are the obligations of every individual ‘ in the LTuio i. And both the individual and the Government are protected against ulti ’ mate loss, in us nuich ns both may exact jgpe -1 cio for their duos. One of the most nccessu'' ■ ry duties of the Government in relation to tl.e ■ currency, is to let it alone. Hut by all the 1 means which the Constitution has placed at 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 ’ ago of the Government. Uoduco the revo ' nues of the Government to ils wants, and this subject will bo disembarrassed of its chief dif ficulty. To this point the South should strive to bring the revenues. And so toon us the pledges of the compromise tiro fulfilled; all southern eflbrt should bo directed to the uc complishnieiil ot tins, to us, so necessary ob ject. The mere receipt and payment of die revenue, ! together with the. icinporury custody a few nill j lions on special depusile, will scarcely bo an object enough to stir the ambition of parties, or the ava rice ol banks. No, it is the millions of tlie stir, 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 icy lo make the Hi«Uh lich, and to keep them so What avails it to us of the minorily States, that the 1 1 en.sury overflows with opulence I Wo pay three fourths of the revenue; and not one dollar scarcely of ils surplus reaches us in a beneficial form. Our wealth centralizes power, money pow er, at die North; and the control of our money will centralize political power at Washington. Wo must over be in the minuiity; let ns seek safety in die riglils ol theßlutcs, and the wealth and in dependence ot the Stales, as antagonist principles to all Nationalism. It is our interest; (anil who will deny the paramount obligation to protect it,) solo reduce die li ical strength of the Federal Government, ns to make its money neither the instrument ol ambition or of avarice. Il ls most singular lo observe, that there are II fulfil in these latter days, who maintain dial die Government must not only lake care ol Ils own money, but that of every body else, Mr. Webster, lot example, whose great mind lias ever labored with giant strength at the work of ag. gr.iodizing the federal Government, lie is a .\ nUunal Republican indeed. No doctrine ol late years, is lo my mind, more alarming than that which assumes the right, nay, die duly ol Congress to provide and control the currency.

How ibis sever anee shall bo maintained, is a matter of no little difficulty; but is surely of little real consequence, compared wiilt llto great principle involved, it has been assumed by the present Administration that the independent Nub Tre.isuiy bill provides die means ol a total divorce.

Nor can I favor the almost - exploded conservative system; because of the fact, | that it places the selected hanks at the meiey of { tho Government, and endorses their bills widi I the Government patronage. It is a syslem offa- i vorilisrn, by which lint bills of some of die banks will be depreciated, and of others enhanced in f value. It would enable the Government at all t times to conliol powerful and obedient political 1 tools; a d would clothe it wilh the virtual custody of the public funds. It is nothing in favor of tins scheme, that the banks lo bn favored muy be so leclcd by law, for tl.e majority in Gougress are, 11 as a general rule, subservient to the Executive. * I have been, front early life, opposed to a Na, tion-il Hank.

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.

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.

It is assumed that a National Haul; is notosfiary to regulate the cur rency—to equalize the exchanges, and to keep them equal. That capital—largo capital, secured oy (uiveiiinient charters, and sustained hy Guv eminent palioimge, is necessary to keep the local onnlu sound. It may ho an; hut in thus inaiu luining the purity of the currency, you establish a now and fearful department of Federal Admin istration—the Money Department of the Federal Govenimcn'.

Discarding then, all the expe. 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 condition hut the tedeonodnliiy of hank notes on demand in specie, (living the Government no control! over the hanks—extending its patronage, so lar ns its receipts ol bank notes amounts to patronage, to all the banks equally—making suclr receipt to depend upon no caprice of the Fxeeir. 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.
