I Capt. Ethan*Allen Hitchcock was examined. Ques. ■“ Were you with Gen. Gaines in the late I Indian campaigns, and in what capacity? Ans _•< On the 18th January, 1830, Gen. Games { appointed me acting Assistant Adjutant General.— - He subsequently superceded the order conferring on i me that rank, by issuing another, appointing mo In spector General. I continued with General Gaines his campaigns in Florida, and for some time r Qucs. 2nd. —“ Please to state the principal events ■ which occurred in the campaigns of Gen. Gaines, in Florida. Ans. « The army under Gen. Games marched from Fort-Brook, on the 13th Feb. 1838. Nothing |of importance occurred until the 17th—when we discovered the ruins of some Indian villages : they appeared to have been burnt soqje time. At this time I believe there was a general expectation throughout the army that Gen. “colt would be soon in that vicinity in considerable force. 1 was in person about a mile from the ma n force, when a loud report was heard, similar to that of a cannon. On joining the army, I found this report had been the subject of general conversation, and the opinion seemed to be almost unanimous, that it was the report of a piece of ordnance, with the force of Gen. t-colt. On the 19th February, the army encamped about 90 miles from the mouth of theNorlh branch of theWyth lachoochee, burning one other Indian town before oc cupying the camp, which appeared to have been a. bandoned several days. We found at this camp, ihe remains of Major Dade and his lamented associ ates. The bodies of the dead were honorably bu ried, and the array continued its march, arriving on the 22d of the month at Fort King. On the 24ili a detachment of the 4th D. S. Intantry, under Lt. JCol. Foster, was despatched to Fort Drane lor sup plies and information. The supplies at that post (■however were discovered to bo insufficient for ono ■company. Col. Foster returned next evening by a Enforced march, bringing with him seven days’ rations Ffor Gen. Gaines’ command. The colonel was ac ■companied by Gen. Clinch from Fort Drane. On ■the 26th Feb. Major General Gaines resumed his ■march in direction of a point on the Wylhlacooelieu Mwhero it was understood that Gen. Clinch had fought ■the Indians on Ihe 21st December. The army Breached this point on the 27th. While the General ■was reconnoileiing the crossing, the centre and leii ♦columns were fired upon by the Seminoles from the side of the river,—the baggage train was ffhalted and a proper place for an encampment se- Ipected ; as it was not I he purpose ol Gen. Gaines to ■cross the river that night The firing ot the enemy ■ was briskly returned, and after keeping it up for about man half hour, the General directed Lt. Col. Twiggs, Sand his second in command (who had been appoint ’!-ed to lead the 2nd Brigade us a light brigade) to Withdraw from the river after the men had become Ifarailiar with the new scenes presented to them; or Swords to that effect. Ths army withdrew and en ' camped accordingly, having sustained the loss of one • killed and seven wounded, 'J he crossing at tins point of the river was retarded by the swampy char acter of the shore and its vicinity. The army on the bgSth moved down the river a few miles, peihaps two miles, from the place last mentioned, ihe advance 5* ;uard was commanded by Brigade ,Major Izard. — The advance was fired upon,and its leader mortally IK wounded. His force was sustained by nvo compa- Pnies of the 4th U. S. Intantry anda portion of volun teers. The firing continued across the river, until -•'.’between 12 and I o’clock. The Indian yell was , 'continuous all this lime. At one time it appeared to bo very greatly increased, as if by the accession |i of now forces. Our loss up to this period was Lt. wizard mortally wounded on the 28th, died on the sth llof March, ono Sergeant of Artillery, and two vo lunteers killed, and thirty or forty wounded On the Pfilb of March at 10 o’clock A. M a loud voice was ■heard from the woods, hailing our camp, and some Pone cried out “ the Indians have had fighting enough #they want to come and have a friendly talk and make Bipeace.” He was answered by order of the General ■that if “one of their Chiefs came with a white flag RKtiext morning, they should not be fired upon, the ■ man in the woods shouted, “ very well 1 vve will bo fcin after breakfast,” and hade us good night. On ■thejmorning following, I think about 10 o’clock, Indi- Bans were seen filing off to the cast and west sides of Bour camp, passing from the river and uniting in the ■rear of us, perhaps six hundred yards distant and ■3OO in number. From this body, a few Indians Bcame with a white flag. They were first mot from Kur camp by Adjutant Barron, of the Louisiana regi ■ment of volunteers, who reported to Gen. G. that Hhe Indians stated that they did noLvvant any more Highting. 1 was directed by the General to go and what the Indians had to say. I requested two Hpnllemen to go with me, Surgeon Harold of the ■volunteers, and Adjutant Barron. I told these gen- Htlemen that 1 had instructions from Gen. Gaines for Huy government mthe approaching conference, that K Would attend to them, and requested my compan- Bons to observe what passed. We accordingly mol Kt about one hundred and fifty yards from our camp, ■several Indian chiefs, with their interpreter—among Khe chiefs was Jumper (understood to bo the prtnci- Kpal adviser of Micanopy,) and Oseola, who was Bronsidered a principal war-chief. Xhere was an ■other called Alligator, present—the names of the ■Others have escaped my memory. Jumper conducl ■ed the council on the part of the Indians, through BKi,o,v interpreter. I had employed fy brought with me Bin interpreter from our camp, who was directed not Pto make himself known, but to Jisltn to what might ■be said among the Indians Jumper at first enquir led of me “what 1 bad to say,” 1 answered “notning IL„ hi m but that I had come to hear what they bad Pto say ” They then repeated the purport ol what ■they said in the woods, on the night before ; i. e.— ■» That they had lost many warrior? ; that they did 1 not wish to lose any more, but fcvvanled to make •* peace ” I communicated this to the General, (1 will 1 remark to the Court, that my instructions from Gen. | Gaines were general, not specific,! I had many con versations with Gen. Gnines. on the subject of the ! proper raannci of treating with Indians. In these conversations, he had invariably declared, that he would not deal with them on any othorfterms tlianjthe known and acknowledged principles, which should govern the intercourse ol enlightened nations, Ire ®quently declaring that the ignorance and dependence iof the Indians made it a mutter of obligation on us, • ? to deal with them humanely and justly. It was m # reference to these views, as I understood them, that ■the General had directed me to confer with the lu- S-dians, observing at the same time, “you know my ■ principles,” or something to that effect. Jnaccor- J danco with this, I slated in all interviews with the i Indians, that Gen. Gaines was commanding officer Win our camp. The Indians said, they knew General %. Gaines, had a high opinion of him, and appeared k pleased to find that lie was the commanding officer Pln our camp. 1 stated to them that Gen. ■aines was . but one of several chiefs, sent by the President ol | the United Slates among them lo compel them to H a peace. I desired to show them, that they would, tM if necessary, be compelled to submit and for this g .purpose, I endeavoured to show them the extent ol territory occupied by the Whites, iheir dense popu jUlation, their resources, &c., using tlie simile often Li resorted to in council with Indians, “the whites co\- | er the country, like the trees of the forest’. Alter § talking to them in language like this—assuring them ■„ viver and over again that they would be compelled >»>io submit, they answered that they would take noun -3b cil among themselves, would assemble again in the and have another talk. In the afternoon i they accordingly came, in the same order as in the •s t morning. I hud in the mean lime, been advised uy a the General, that be did not feel authorized in mak ing any terms with them—that if they persisted in for peace, I must give it to them conditional ly, and require them to pledge observance oflhetr ii&grcement These conditions were, that they cease entirely from all acts of hostility against **-the whiles, cross to (be south side of llie Witbla i tficoocheo, and promise to attend a council whenever i«nd wherever they would be sent for (I would slate to the court, that all this time, Major General Scott Vas not 3J miles distant from us). The chiefs nu * ifvered “that .Micanopy was not with them, and had not been for several days,” ihey “wanted time to , consult him, that they would make no permanent •arrangement without doing so but that for them cclves, they engaged to comply with the terms dic tated to them by Major General Gaines. To pre vent any misunderstanding of these terms I repealed them dis tinctly twice over. Towards the close of «ho last interview, there were indications of an ap ■woaehing force somewhere in our vicinity,apparently carom the north. 'I he Indians at a distance called mL those in council, and made signs to them to fly— ip immediately supposed this lo arise from the ap proach oftroops from Fort Drane, and told the duels «o hasten their men away,and put them m security. They went off into a hammock, lo the east of our Camp The new visitors, 1 supposed, were led by- Major General Scott, but, contrary to expectation, the commander in chief of the detachment was Brig. * Gen Clinch. The reinforcement brought us as sup “ plies, two days rations of pork and flour and forty head of cattle. The rations in our camp had be come almost exhauste 1 It was about the 4th of the month that some horses were killed and the meat . erenl.: **** in rcf ‘ ’ {{' “The troops continued in ■ l ‘ mornin e of the 10,1,; during which time 1 heard not a rifle, nor an Indian yell. Our men amused themselves on the banks of the river, , without interruption. On the 10th the commma ,d , was assigned to Gen. Clinch.” General Gaines. “ May ,t please the Court, ho order directing the transfer is dated the 9th. Under whose orders did the troops march to Fort Drane ? ***»»» The Indians were beaten ! subdued, Sir! before tlielransier of my command to Gen. Scott. 1 nave seen same service, 1 have participated in the capture ot prisoners, and I certainly never knew a people in subjection, if the Seminoles were unsubdued The enemy was cornplelely defeated, and tliu war was renewed by a certain General merely lor the pur pose of making an impression.” Queitionbj the Court. Was any sortie made from your camp. and how strong were you 7 Capt. Hitchcock. “ One thousand strong, and no sortie was made,” (it may be proper to state nere, that each ot the several bodies occupying the squares had been ordered by Major General Gaines, to hold themselves in readiness for a sortie, should he think proper to make ono. This order was given on the afternoon of the 29th of Februrary.) Question by Ihe Court. “ When, mid how many, attacks were made on your encampment ?" “An atlack was made on the 29th—no assault of a general character was made after this. Occasion ally a few shots were fired by the Indians. Some times small parties of Indians appeared in this neigh borhood, hut so seldom, that it was surmised in con versation among ns, that the Indi ms I.ad, in all pro bability, abandoned the com try. My impression was, that the Indians,finding it impossible lo move us from our position, would go to what is called the everglades. I suggested this to Gen. Gaines with the remark that in that case the Campaign would be embarrassed, if not defeated, and llio blame attached him He remarked on the want of mounted men to follow up any advantage he might gain in a sortie— and referred to his letter of express to Fort Drane, confidently expressing his expectation that General Scott would be there in person lo receive his express, with the species ot force mast needed, and that ho would certainly come.” Ques. by the Court. —“ What effect had the mono tony of t he camp and your disinclination to a Sortie, on the spirits of your men?” Ans. —“ lam not aware of any special effect. For - order pervaded the camp, and discipline worthy of soldiers.” Question by the Court. —“ Vlas the oimy on Ihe Withlacoochee,' under the command of Major Gen Gnines, strung enough to assail the enemy with suc cess ?” Aus —“ In my opinion, the army could beat and drive the enemy, but there was no moan, of pursuing him with success.” Ques, by the Court. —“ What was the amount of the enemy investing camp Izard ?” Ans. “ Thirteen hundred,” (witness interred this, from a survey of the ground occupied by tie; enemy) “1 should suppose, that lour or live hundred negroes were mingled with them, in ihe large body f lust saw.” Q c» by the Court —“ Will you state how the troops or camp Izard wore supplied with arms and ammunition ?” Ans. —At Fort King, before cur march to the Wythlacooohee, there were fifty cartridges to a men. The field peicc, a six pounder, was supplied with (il ly murids of grape shot. 'Lite arms were chiefly mus kets and yagers. J obtained this knowledge from personal inspection.” Question by t e Court.— “ Do you think, witness, that General Gaines, with his means, could have marched upon the enemy with any prospect of suc cess, had they availed themselves of their lastnes s.s?” Answer.—“ They would have escaped all pur suit.” Qu s, by the Court. —“ Did the Indians ever march up to tlte. breasl-work and fire ?" Ans. —“ Never m the so m of an assault; some times they would come within thirty yards of us, particularly when the palmettos were burning, un der cover of the smoke, the Indians would approach us closely. With regard to the iliect of a sortie, it is a problem which, perhaps, any ono may form an opinion of, from a consideration ol the facts which 1 will slate; i’lio Indians appeared to have a great facility in crossing the river—the banks ol the river, on the cast and west side of us, wore lined with a dense swamp, and the Indians, mthe boat of a sor tie, would have rushed into llio swamp, on flic one side or lira other, and by their superior knowledge of the passes through it, w ould, in all probability, have effectually evaded pursuit. They carry their means ol defence in one hand, and swim with me other. They have facilities in border warfare to which Ihe white man is unaccustomed. Whilst wo refrained from a sortie, they amused themselves in expending their powder and b ill in firing at us. We were in oatly expectation of a renilb content of mounted man, ami without them we cuu.d do no thiim. 1 have confined myself, to the simple an swering ol questions, and shall continue to do so.” Ques. by Gen. Gaines. —(B line putting llie ques tion to witness, the General made some explanatory remarks on the subject of a sortie, conducted in a hummocky, and comparatively unexplored coimln, alluded lo ilia sorites made by Captain Thistle, while upon llio river bank, Ate. The General look bis seat; and the President banded tlie witness a map ofthesectionof country referred to, and asked his opinion ol iis correctness. Capt. Hitchcock, re plied, “ This is ntally correct; I will point out the few errors; this he did to tho satisfaction of Ihe Court, and tlie question of General Gaines was take.! up.) , “ Why was horsemeat eaten, and was it not more manly lo subsist upon ilia 1 , than suffer the Indians to possess the frontier?" Ans. —“ 1 have always considered the readiness with w hich ihe men subsisted uponihoraemeut, rath er than abandon their position, a high evidence ot noble spirit and for which they are ea.itled to great credit.” Gent. Gaines. “Mr. President and Gentle men of the, Court. —As it bus been charaeil upon me by the officer ordered to relieve me, that I had thrown obstacles in the way of a successful ■ termination of affairs in Florida, I beg leave to 1 ask witness a question on the subject ’ — | Ques. by Genl. Gaines.—' -What were my ; views and feelings in relation to Mej. Genl. Scott, i prior to the arrival of Goal. Clinch at Camp Iz ■ aid.” 5 jins. —“The fust intimation received by Ma , jor Genl. Gaines of the order assigning Major 1 General Scott, the command in Florida, was re [ ceived at Pensacola on the 6th of February. I '■ Baw Major Genl. Gaines very soon after ho rc - ceived the information. He made no special ro > mark on tho subject.” (Here your correspon- J dent would beg leave to call attention to the manliness displayed by the excellent General m 1 lire following remarks to his Inspector General s and friend);” on our way to Tampa Bay, he of f mu spoke ofthe Genl.

Gome gaze upon the moon, my lovo, Upturn thy bonny brow, Anil I’ll tell thee a dream I had Beneath her light just now. Cdid not mean tosluraber, love, But gazed into llie skies, Till gentle sleep came softly down, And clos’d my weary eyes. I dream’d that I was lying there, As I before had lain, Upgazing on the lady moon, And winking stars again. Melhougbt, a snowy-feat hery cloud 'That hover'd round the moon, Came sailing down toward the earth, And chang’d its semblance sooa. It was a pinnaee—beautiful, * Ol silver made and pearl, And there was sealed at the helm A most entrancing girl. About her lurk'd some witching spell The sternest heart could bow, Nay—look not sad, ray own Uesr girl, That ladye fair—was thou 1 “Come dearesl,” softly didst thou cry, And seated by thy side, Wo sprang up in the buoyant boat Cleaving the airy lido. Far swifter than Ihe lightenmg's flash— Far swifter than the wind, Yea—swifter than the viewless thought Wo left the world behind ! And smilingly thy dark blue eyes Were ever fixed on mine, I felt a thrilling through my veins, An ecstacy divine! Upward and upward, onward still, Until vve reach’d tho bound Oflhat encircling atmosphere That girdles earth around. A sudden pause—a giddy whirl, Lo 1 we bad pass’d Ibo bound, And quickly as a beam ol light, .Sank down ou lunar ground 1 We two have stray’d through many vales, Thou well might’st lovely call, But that fair valley ot the moon Was loveliest ol them all 1 Soft ripplin'i o’er a silver lake ’I he wind sang through the trees, And every tiling was gaih r’d round, Each dainty sense lo please Young odorous flowers, of rainbow dye, Sprang up beneath our leet; And fruit, that seem’d lo tempt our taste, Was more than earthly sweet. I thought in that lone valley, Were none but thou and I, And vve were d ‘stilted there to live, To live — and love —and die. A destiny so calmly blest, So free Irom earthly pain, Say, can you wo der that 1 griev’d T o vv ake on earl It again ? Yes ? thou art mine, my beautiful, And we are happy now ; But sorrow will come to llie heart, And sadn ss to the brow. Sickness will come, vviih pallid band, And poverty may press; Yes, earth with all its earthly pares, Will mar our happiness. Yet do not sigh, my own lov’d bride, I shall be with thee still; And will we not, by sharing, half Annihilate each ill ? Saturday, i'.reilinar -lan. 21, 1837.

On to-morrow evening this beautiful new com pany will parade in full uniform, at the usual parade ground in Green street. The uniform of this company is a light grey, handsomely trimmed, and not surpassed in beauty by any that wo have ever seen. In addition to this, the occasion will be ren dered doubly interesting by the fact that, the late commander of that company, Hon. Win. W. Holt, will present it with a new and handsome flay, accompanied by an address suitable to the occasion. Augusta may well he proud es the two volun teer companies which are now fully organized, so handsomely equipped, and so accomplished in all that pertains to soldiers. Wo were utterly astonished on opening the Federal Union yesterday evening, to discover the name of Win. N. Bishop announcedas Teller lo the Central Bank. It is known to every ono that tliis Bank is entirely a State institution—all its capifalof every description belongs to the State; its Directors arc aj pointed by llie State, paid by tlie Stale, and the State is tho sole recipient of its profits. It is in every sense literally a public institution — the People’s Dank ! Such being the fact, the people are interested, directly, in ha ving its affairs managed in the beat possible man ner —They have a right to expect that this Bank ■ shall bo in the hands of men of the first intelli gence, respectability, integrity and purity of char acter. We learn from those who ought to know, that the Teller of a Bank has the management of its money transactions lo a great extent—the re ceiving and [raying out of all money, and that for this purpose he is put in possession, every morning by the Cashier, of a sufficient sum of i money lo meet the business of the day. We ’ ask, is William N. Bishop a fit man to be entrust -1 cd with so important a business in the most im . portrait institution of tho State? A man with out character and without capacity ! A man f who has rendered himself infamous by crimes es * a !most every degree, and who now stands indict . ed filr some, before the Supciioi Court of Murray county, which would subject him to degrading punishment, if convicted, and from trials on ' which lie has thus far escaped, by preventing, as ' Clerk of the Superior Court, the organization of t juries for two or three years past 1 A vile hlack , guard and ruffian, who as commander of a petty B military force, known as the Georgia Guard, has 1 bullied our highest judicial tribunals, headed s n ,obs in their outrages upon private individuals, s and violated the sacred right of suffrage itself!— a And this man, with his multitude of iniquities ‘ upon his bead, possessing no good dharacler in J the eyes of any body, and without any sort of ca - pacity for the business whjch must be entrusted ° to his hands, is appointed Teller to the Central J Bank. ,t We have no time to remark upon the matter h further at present, hut we call upon the Editors 0 { tfce Constitutionalist, to speak out upon this subject. What do they think about it? Tljcy profess to bo governed by higher impulses than those of mere blind partisans—to bo independent in the management of their paper, of all impro per bias from partizan obligations ! Do they ap prove or disapprove of this appointment. We trust that tho public will hear from them deci sively. We call also upon Mr. Gathright ofthe Mi ner’s Recorder lo speak out with the usual inde pendence which he has exhibited on this subject. We cannot doubt what will be bis course. We copy the two following paragraphs from the Milledgevillc Recorder oflast Tues day. Unfortvnale Casually. —The Stewards’ Hall, attached ’o the Midway Seminary, was on the morning of the Ultli instant, entirely destroyed by fire. The fire originated through some defect in one of the Stove pipes. We learn from n conversation with the President of the Board of Trustees, that tho loss is es timated at $ 10,000. We regret to learn that tho loss of the Steward will be very considerable, and that the personal property of the teachers and students was mostly consumed. Surplus. —An apportionment of SOOO,OOO, will probably, wo understand, be made by ihe Central Bank, among the several counties of the State,commencing about the third week in March ensuing, which will, of course, entitle the counties, to just double the amount they have heretofore received.

B. we learn that on Saturday last about 9, P. M. a very distmetive Fire broke out in that city which before it could be arrested, destroyed about ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUIL DINGS, s luated on South Market Wharf on Water and Prince William streets. The quan tity of Goods destroyed, was immense, includ ing about three thousand Barrels of Flour, —The Fire commenced in Mr. Whit ney’s Store at 9, p. m. and raged twelve hours with unabated fury. The stores upon South Market Wharf wore all good, and from 3to 4 stories in height. They were foil of all kinds of merchandise, very liitleof which could be saved. The Engines appeared to be of no use, b -iiig very much out ot order, and the weather was extremely cold. Fear seemed to paralyze the exertions of most of the citi zens. A large number of families, by this calamity ore rendered houseless, and who vveieingood circumstances are now beggars. Only one brick building was left .standing in the whole “burnt district," v'hicli, il l re collect, was the case in New York nt the great fire. Two printing offices were burnt—the Observ er mid the Chronicle. The loss ling hastily been estimated ot between Twoou Taree Millions of Dol lars. The agent of tlie Hartford Etna, Insurance Office, slated to our informant at three o’ clock on Sunday morning that buildings to thenamounl. of $60,000, insured by him, had than been destroyed, utter which all Market Wharf was burnt. One gentleman at St. Johns stated that the New York insurance offices had at least $200,000 un the property destroyed. No damage was done lo the shipping. As many ofthe merchants of your ciiyarc proba bly interested, I have thought proper to give you the earlie. t intelligence, as no informa tion has gone west as yet. Yours in haste. P. S. A merchant from St. Johns called at our office, yesterday, and said the (ire hail made him worse than nothing. Property to the amount of f6rty taousand dollars had been destroyed which belonged to him— Tnere are merchants from St. Johns in the city who are in the same situation.

The only obstardo to this resi.lt, is tho great quantity of lots ami real esiale still by held tho spe culators in that arlicle ;—held ton under the belief that, as the crisis is now in a measure over, in com nu reiul affairs, they may hope fur a like relief in re al estate speculations. There yelexisis, however, a considerable pressure among the holders of speculative teal estate, and as quarter day is approaching, when rents will become u topic of inquiry, there will boa great effort among the real estate owners to keep up the price, and there by give strength and tone lo the rule of rents upon ten ants lost year. We perceive that large properties are advertised for sale, and nn doubt lltcre will beagreat bustle in buying &. bidding. We do not perceive,how ever, bow it Is possible lo keep up the present rents lorslotes. It is probablo that dwelling houses may remain mthe rents oflast year, bat the great num ber of stores, an i of dwelling houses converted into stores last year, must necessarily overstock them mar ket, and bring down llie rents of that class of build ings. The curtailment of business will also aid in pro ducing the result —and also the general blow given to speculative operations. It is posstbl; I hat several of Hie buildings intended for stores, may bo vviihout lenlants ut ad unless the owners consent lo turn them into dwelling houses “(ortho nonce."

Jhe doinesiic exchanges are also ap proaching more uniform and moderate rates. This general recovery has been produced, not Ity the ac tion ol the government—not by llio w isdom of Con gress—not by the efforts of Hate Legislation—-but ny tho simple unaided efforts of commercial rnoii themselves, in the la e of the lolly, usury, extortion, and ignorance in the hanks and llio government.

For six or eight months ihe commerce ofthe country lias been tossed about, end r the force ol these influences, till a gen eral curtailment of business, the taking in of sail, have in a measure restored lint money market lo a ' tolerable quiet condition We have 100 reached this point even neliire the Snrpuls revenue, the original consent the whole evil,lias been divided,or put into calculation again—not us a speculative element, but as a real business item. Yet wo ate nut oat el all danger. The symp toms of recovery in commercial alibi is arc strung and pointed—bur side by aide with these symptoms, we have others of a three f /Id danger louny of those i wo have yet passed through. Let us explain. 'The money concerns ot" ilvs country are, at this lime, on lliecveot one of tne must main- mutts move - moats that ever took place in any commercial conn 1 try. We have seen what mischief the surplus rc venue has caused to commerce, dining the I st iuk 1 months, in producing and creamg land speculation! high rales ol exchange and inn n st-YTreasitty or dors —fluctuations and ravnl ions of ail kinds. Tin r time has now come lo divide this largo nmmin g among the slates,hy which a new species of phono mena will L produced on th currency and exchange! ~ perhaps worse than any wo have yet experienced. In South Carolina, a bank has just been chartered of 11 twenty.four millions capital, principally based on ihe it surplus revenue. In Kentucky, a proposition is also before its legislature, to create a bank of 100 millions '■ capital, aid 30 or 40 branches ; also based on the i- surplus revenue. In almost every stale wo see tho c same movements beginning. 'The division of lire Surplus Re mi no among llie Slates, will produce ■- greater scenes of speculation in banks, rail roads, and lands, and every other similar species of trade, than it ever produced while lying in the vaults ofthe gu • vermnent hanks. But this is not tho worst. A general combination is gradually forming between the bankers, (apiiidisls, . rich manufacturers, politicians, and speculators, lo fasten this system on the country, and to increase tho Surplus indefinitely. If ibis division of plunder system should succeed in Congress—and there are 3 symptoms that it will—in less than three years the . whole properly ofthe nation will bain the hands of tho banks, and all the legulation of tho country Will come from hoards of directors. Commerce as a • separate and distinct business, will ho regulated en , tirely by hanks, and not n movement ■an bo made in soeiely, until it has first received the sanction of ' boards of directors and usurers. Whenever tho »c --1 veral states shall have got their several schemes of > speculation afloat, based on the Surplus Revenue, t they will, like Friar Bacon, have raised the Devi without retaining the power of laying him when they choose. However, wo are not sure hut it is the best wny to bring a nation, pampered with 100 much ptos > perity, to their senses. I I‘ricesot Stocks at the N. York Exchange, Jan. 21. I —U, 6’.
