The books of subscription lo the Stock of this
Bank, were opened yesterday at 10 o’clock, at the
Bail Road Office in Slate-street, and up to 2
o’clock Nine Thousand Five Hundred Shares
in the Bank were subscribed, which, when the
whole amount shall be finally paid up, will he
equal lo One Million or Dollaiih. The hooks
will con inue open at the same [dace for thirty
days, when they will he finally closed. From
the anxiety manifested to uhlan Shaies in the
Bank, very liitle doubt can now he enieriain
ed that ihe whole amount of the Snick will he
taken up. The Cily Council and olhcr
corporations in this City, ansi several in
dividuals of largo properly, have come for.
ward promptly and set the good example by
subscribing for the whole amount of the .'■hares to
which they are end led, so that the piospec's are
cheering. We understand that arranjomen's
have been made for hanging home immediately
in specie, so much ofiho loan lately effected by
General Hamilton, as may he necessary to put the
Rail Road Bank in operation without embarrass
ment to our other monied Institutions. Accounts
from all quarters represent the people as prepared
to make up the amount of the capital of the Bank,
and anxious fir its iinmediateestiiblislimcnl. The
success of the Bank may now be considered as
certain, and it will go very far lo ensure the suc

The sloop Globe, and smack Splendid, have <

vored us with the following letter:
Sept. O h, 1838.
The brig Expott, C. M. Morrill, ol Ketineftunk,
sailed from Munmzas, on the 4dt ins!., with a 1
cargo of fifteen hundred and severity-nine boxis (
ol sugar and one bag ol Cotlee. bound lor Boston, 1
on n.e Gilt, experienced a severe gale, which in- 1
cica-cd to a hurricane. On the 7ih, while lying 1
tno, she struck on Eedherry Reef, die sea running J
nioumains high. The brig bilged in 15 minutes; 1
we got out out long boat and made lor die shore. J
and narrowly escaped being drowned. Too frig 1

loss hot a part ol die cargo will he saved. Alim)' :l
uu hour previous to our striking, a ship struck '
very near us, all hands had led the ship, and are 1
probably lost, hlte went in ieecs, and I think 11
it was die ship Thracian, of Plymouth, her cargo \
was rail-toad iron, machinery, and dry goods.
G. M. MORRILL, 1
Master of the brig Export.
[VVo are informed by Capt, Howard, of the )
Madison, who examined the wreck said to be the i
Thracian, that lie is of opinion that sullieieni evi j
denie docs not exist of fts identity with that vos- -
sel. None of the crow of die ship in question •
were saved. Bbc was evidently a new Boston i
built ship. She had on hoard a locomotive cn- ,
pine named “Camhen,” directed to Hyde & i
Comstock, New Orleans. The rest of her cargo (
seemed to consist of domestic goods, bar and tire ,
iron, a carriage, sadJUs and harness, nails an I ,
machmeiy. 1
The sloops Alabama, Dread, and Caution, ;
of My stic, bound to this port drove ashore and ,
was lost in the same gale. The only survivor „
yet ascertained is Joseph Noble, They went c
ashore near the French brig 1 Courier. Noble |
escaped from the Indians and joined the ,
French crew. When the Indians came tip |
with the French crow he passed himself oft' ,
as one of their number, and thus saved his life. t
Noble has arrived at this place, and gives the ,
names of the persons on hoatd the sloop.-.—all ,
of whom are doubtless lost except Itimsv If. ,

The Revenue Cutter, Campbell, and the

J’be following is a petition signed by many
citizens ol Decatur County, winch is to he laid
la-lore the legislature at the appro idling session.
Pile subject is an important one, and he subscri
bers to that paper deserve inm li coininenJ ition
for the publicity given to their wishes before the
meeting of bo General Assembly, because it will
enable lire members to tellec! upon the object*
llrus presented to them for action after due exam
inalion and investigation. Wo would request the
other papers of the -State to transfer to their col
umns ibis petition.— Constitutionalist of yester
day.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of
the Stine of Georgia, to convene at Mllledge
ville, on the first Monday in next month.
We, tire subscribers, citizens and planters of
Deetilur county, respectfully petition your Hon
orable bodies to lake into set tons consideration
the iinceriuin. partial, ami generally detective sys
tem previous.y adorned by our Legislative bodies,
In grouting bank chattels, and earnestly request
you to make the subject ol flanking of paramount
importance to all others that may come liefi-re
you, and consequently give it that attention which
ll claims. We regard our -Suite as being in in
fancy in those imp oveinetiis that have adorned
and enriched others ol less Intrinsic value than
our own, ami believe that watchfulness ami cn
icrpriz.* are necessary to devolope the numberless
advantages ibis Stale possesses over most others
of the Union and to give it that ascendency and
important'* it may, by such means, soon be made
to obtain.
We, therefore, recommend, that you grant ex
tensive Banking privlle >es upon sournJ principle/,
and, we believe, this can only be done by having
real esiaie the principal basis upon which such
institutions be found, d. We recommend that
you allow free Banking, with such conditions as
your wisdom will direei, or I lint each county have
the piivilego of establishing u Bank, to he located
at iis county site, on condition that such Institu
lions satisfactorily secure by mortgage their entire
circulation, rcijul mg a sullicient amount of spe
do to l-c kept by them to prevent any inconve
n enco to those who may receive their is-ues. We I
believe the amount of gold and silver necessary
to effect this object, will not be large, since expe
rience proves dial the necessi y of minks holding
a large amount of specie, compared with their
Circulation, grows out of a waul of confidence in
their solvency. The precaution men ionc-1 will
obviate that distrust. We do not recommend any
hostility to the Banks now chartered, hut that
every thing may lie done that will lend to secure
the cenlidencu they merit and promote the general
good; yet we earnestly hope it will not ho neces.
vary to giant any new charter upon the same prin,
ciptes, since it will he opening a door for fraud,
by which every portion ot the Staie may he made
to suffer, and cause many to Ire directly and
largely injun d Besides, these results may pro.
iluce prejudices against a proper system ot Bank
ing. a system that would doubtlessly of itself, by
i's very influence, in a short lime double the pre
sent value ol the lands of our S.aie, and bring
Urge portions into cultivation that are now lying
dormant, producing a very small revenue to the
.Stale, and income to lire owner. It would vir
tually enable each planter to become Ins own
banker, and by doing so increase the productions
ol his plant ition, the value of his properly, to
ge her widt the commerce of the IS ate and all
uy his own resource*. Our object is to call a
proper attention t > the subject, without entering
into details, and wc especially iccommend to the
Senators and Representative* from ibo-e fertile
and long neglected counties,situated on the south
western part of the IS ate (among v. [rich wo num
