FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 3.
We have suggested to our Charleston neigh
bors, before they attempt their magnificent project
of taking cotton trout the very doors ol New Or
leans and Mobile, that they had better first make
arrangements to get the cotton raised the valley
of the Savannah river. 13y recurring to the
monthly shipments ol cotton Irom Augusta and
Hamburg, from Ist October 1838, to Ist May
1839, we find them to he as follows:
To Savannah 117,597 bags.
To Charlestpn by boats, 3589 hags.
« « “ R.R. 11036 “ 14,625 “
Balance in favor of Savannah 102,972 “
It may be true that a larger p oportion of the
proceeds arising from the first sales of this cotton j
in this market, finds its way to Charleston for in
vestment in goods, than ol the cotton itselr, ow
ing to the inertness of Savannah, whose people,
vve are so. ry to say. with some exceptions, are
wanting in energy, enterprise and perseveram e.
But Charleston still cannot be said either directly
or indirectly to command to a very great extent,
the eolton of Georgia w hich seeks a market here,
nor can she ever command it entirely as she anti
cipates. It is equally reasonable to suppose that
if the cotton of Alabama, ever seeks an outlet
upon the Atlantic, that Charleston will be no
more able to command it than she does that of
|| Georgia.
p. s. Since the above was written, the
Charleston Mercury of yesterday morning has
come to hand, containing a well tempered artu e
in relation to the project of concentrating the cot
ton of Western Georgia and Eastern Alabama
upon the Atlantic coast of Georgia and South
Carolina. It is divested of much of that mag
niloquent rhodomontade which made Charleston
to engross every hag of Cotton raised on this
side of the Black Warrior—and speaks in a
modified proper tone of other places. We shall
copy it to-morrow with pleasure.
We have alluded before, to the sisterly affec
tion o ’the City of Augusta towards the institu
tions and prosperity ol Macon. 1 h;s has exci
ted Hie ire of the « hronicle & Sentinel, which
dentes the facts we have stated, and calls for proof.
We refer it to the course of the banks ol that city
towards the institutions of this. If there is not
in that city a settled jealousy of, and hostility
towards the growing prosperity of Macon, why
their persevering efforts to prostrate our credit,
cripple our energies, and thwart our enterprise !
Wliy do thev continue to discredit the bills ol
the Monroe Rail Road Bank, and throw out in
sinu itions against the hills of our other Banks!
Wu.n grounds have they for it! It the Editor
of the Chronicle & Sentinel wants further
proof, we refer him to every respectable Lawyer
and Merchant in the up-country. Whether the
individuals who circulated the false reports are
respectable or not, is not material, so far as relates
to the mischief done.— Macon TJegraph.
Well, the Editor of the Telegraph has gotten
himself out of the scrape, much belter than we had
any idea he could, llecha ged that letter writers
and Bank agents, from Augusta, had circulated
rumors throughout Georgia, Alabama, &c. that
all the banks in Macon were broke. We denied
j the charge, called for names and proofs. The
Editor very gravely refers us to all the lawyers
and merchants in the up-country ! Instead of
producing his proof, he tells us we ran find it 1 y
a peregrination throughout the country and appli
cation to lawyers and merchants! We give it
up —we are outgeneralled and discomfited, and
kno k under. The Telegraph hears off_thc palm
of victory, and we must quiet ourselves under
defeat in the best manner we can.
(jj=-Those of our readers who have any idea
of visiting the up country, (and we hope they an
many) are referred to the adve Useinent of Mr.
John Jackson, of Athens, who it will he seen has
opened a new Hotel in that place, to bcconnected
with the Helicon Springs, a pleasant and fa.h
imable retreat w II known to all visitors to uppn
Georgia. Mr. Jackson has long experience am
jll means, perseverance and accommodation—
and we can venture to assert that those who
palron’ze him will not be permitted to go aw.-.y
hungered or thirsty, while there is a pig or u
tu.k y railed in the backwoods, or a bottle o
wine to be found on this s.dc of the Atlantic.
The foilowing gentlemen were yesterday ap
pointed Delegates to the State Rights Convention
J from Richmond county, to be held in MilUdge
ville on Monday next, to nominate a candidate
so: Governor, viz : Charles J. Jenkins. Henry
Mealing, Thomas W. Miller, and James T. Gray.
In our paper to-day will be found a number of
extracts from the militia laws of the State, pub
lished by order of Major Wilson, for the informa
t ion of those who are subject to militia duty.
Wiikvt Crop— The Albany Daily Adverti
ser says : • Such accounts as we have seen from
the west, and from Pennsylvania, speaks of tin
appearance of the coming wheat crop, as very fa
vorable. That the season, upon the whole, has
not lieen unfavorable to agriculture, and that the
prospects, thus far, arc as good as usual.—Every
l>odv is glad to hear such news.

Sin :—ln compliance with the requisnioiis of
the Legislature, 1 have now the honor to hand
you the semi-annual returns of the Bank of Da
rien. Although it is with much regret that our
returns are made to your excellency under the
unpleasant slate of a suspension of specie pay
ments, a condition to which we have bet n driven
by force of circumstances, unexpected and be
j yond our control, still it is gratifying to us to fur
nish you with a statement widen exhibits the in
stitution in a perfectly safe and solvent state. Our
specie and specie funds, it is true have been very
j much redu ed. still our cash liabilities have also
I been decreased in a large proportion ; and it is the
determination of the board of Directors, to use eve
ry exertion in their power to resume specie pay
j merits at the ca best day practicable.
