ATLANTA, FEBRUARY 14, 1856.
The Bank of the Interior.
We lay before our readers today, the report
of the Committee of the Senate upon the Bank
of the Interior at Griffin ; and we would direct
particular attention to it, as an able exposition
of the financial operations of George Smith in
onr State. The intimate connection of the Ab
lanta and Interior Banks will be noticed par
ticularly, the stockholders (?) being nearly iden

MF* For an entirely new business house, of
fering numerous facilities to the scientific world,
we call the attention of engineers, surveyors,
teachers of science, and enterprising dealers in
scientific instruments, t? an advert i.semen. in
another column, received. from Jas. W. Queen,
264 Chesnut-street, Philadelphia. The inter
ests and operations of our city have
tang needed a depot whence they could obtain
instruments necessary to the improvement of
the several branches of mechanical industry that
distinguish Atlanta from all ; o|har Southern,
cities of like population.
“Still they Come.”
Having felt no disposition to boast of the
growing condition of our subscription list, we
have omitted to notice the numerous orders
coming in for the Examiner ; hence those who.
have previously subscribed must excuse us for
noticing now an order from the old North State
—coming, as it does, from a particular individ
ual who accompanies his order with a very
pretty compliment. J_. 8. Williams, of Wake-;
field, N. C., applies for eight copies of our i
Weekly, and accompanies his petition with the j
necessary fee. Taking the past and present as '
monitors of the future, wc feel assured there are i
ip store for us many “more of the same sort.’’ >
From the golden sunlight of the present mo-!
went, down through the dark haze of time yet I
unrealized, we see our proportions growing in- •
to an umnistakeable Collossus ; and while in
dulging this happy reflection, we can say with
a hopeful spirit, “distance lends enchantment
to the view.”

We have received the second number of u
neatly arranged,, Democratic weekly under the

size of the Rome Courier. Terms of subscrip

The senior member of this new editorial firm,
with whom we had, in days “ lang syne,” a brief
but happy acquaintance, is a gentleman of high

will not go unrewarded for turning his talent
into tie tetrd, Democratic channel of newta

highest political and pecuniary preferment which
their well-directed energies may sue for. [Please

Home Anecdote.
It makes us feel proud when wc see any of
wr good citizens noticed by the press abroad.
Such notice! as the following jeu d sprit, speak
much.for the high acceptance of our worthy
bos t-Dr. Thompson- among the traveling pub
lie. He was proprietor of the Atlanta Hotel'
when Atlanta was only in its infancy, and his
great popularity as a caterer to the weary trav
eler’s comfort has not only made him favorably
known to thousands of ladies and gentlemen in j
all parts of the Union, but actually pressed him
into the continued proprietorship of the same
table d'hqte uqto the present.
The Ladies’ Repository, of Richmond, Va.,
thus" facetiously speaks of the Doctor, which
will shako the sides of those devotees of Monrns
who would “ launughd grow fat.”
“Dr. Thompson, proprietor of the “Atlanta
Hou c,” (Atlanta, Geo.) is well known as a
votary or eccentricities. Wc were t’ijhly
ainuged the other day, at the recital of, the fol
lowing exchange of civilities, between the Dr.
and a traveler, who called at the office to “set
tle his bills," when the Dr. happened to be be
hind the counter.
• What do you charge ?” asked the traveler?
vWell," replied the Hr. humorously, “if we
cAurgs your bill, it will be a dollar—but cash
down, only fifty cents.”
“You may charge it then 1” said the iel.ow,
coolly turning on his heel, and passing out, took
his seat. in the cars.
The Dr. half amused, half angry, followed,
and confronting the stranger, asked if he did
not intend to pay his bill. “Certainly not—l
told you to ‘charge it ” was the bland reply.—
The Dr was non plussed ; but placing his fore
finger thoughtfully for a moment, iside his nose,
—“Stranger," said lie, when you come this way
again, bring your box and stay a week."
Speaker's Election.
Among the numerous newspaper speculations
for and against the election, and for and against
this and.that party—we have seen nothing so
just, so reasonable, a. the following cogent con
clusions by the edit:r of the West Point Bea
con. We commend his entire article to the
particular attention of he general reader:
By reference to our Congressional news, in
another column, it will be seen that the long a
gony isover, and Hanks, the Abolition* Black
Republican candidate, is elected Speaker of the
National House of Representatives.
The Montgomery Mail, iu, announcing his
election,asks this question—‘Who is to blame?'
Yea, verily, who is to blame ? We answer, that
party to which the Mail itself belongs, for if the
Southern Know Nothing members in Congress
had had the welfare of the country more at
heart than that of the defeat of the Democratic
candidate, simply because he was a democrat,
Banks would not to-day be the occupant of the
Speaker's Chair. Had these K. Nothing mem
bers, who profess so great an attachment for
the Union, united with the national Democrats
early in the session, Richardson, the friend of
the Nebraska Hill and of the South, would
have been elected with all euse. But, it would
seem from their conduct, they preferred, rather
than do this, to see Black Republicanism tri
umph over the Constitution and the tried friends
of the Union—and let the sin be upon their
own heads, where it properly belongs.
This American question, we boldly assert,
has been ofgreater injury to the country than any
other which has ever been sprung upon it: for
at the North, where it originated, it was used
by the Abolitionists to secure a majority in our
Rational Legislature, thus preparing the wav
for the hellish onslaught upon the constitution
and the rights of the south—and how well thev
have •oceecded! (Why the doctrines of that'
■arty wore embraced at the South we know i
not, and shall oct now stop to inquire.) Seeing ,
that the Black Republicans had a majority in
the House, and were determined to elect Banks,
a man every way jpbnoxfoifcs to. our section, the
Southern K. Nothings, men upon whom the
South relied, stood by with folded arms and
refused to coioperate' withjlie 74 national men
who were bravely standingup in defence Os the
country against her implacable enemies, when,
d they had thu? eo-mjerated, the uefarous de
signs of the Bla:ek t ßepwblicnns wonMLbave
been thwarted, and a national man elected to
the Speaker’s Chair. Now, if the K. Nothings
are not to blame for the election qf Bonks. (hqii

The Dangers of Science.
At thejust session of the Academy of Sci
edees in Paris M. Seguier made a report upon
a new discovery, us important as it is danger
ous, and which is simply this: .AL. Lachard has
invented a process., simple, certain aud rapid,
by which he cun re-produce writing, transfer it
tostoae, aud consequently multiply autographs
to any extent. M. Lachard having been invit
ed to repeat his experiments before a, committee
of the Academy, asked M. Seguire aiid his
colleagues for a few lines written and signed by
tlieinoelves. The piece of paper before die ink
was yet dry was applied to blotting paper, aud
this blotting paper M. Isichard took home with
bint.
The next day M. Seguir received two copies,
one on parolimeiit aud the other on onliuary
paper, of the original, which he hail kept iu
his own possession, pud which the copies so ex
actly resembled that it was impossible to fell
which of the papers was written first.
Inpteseuceof such incontestable proof, M.
Seguire and his colleagues could only bear wit
ness to and extol the ingenuity of M. Lachanl’s
invention; but, Like prudent men, they have
demanded that the process shall not be made
public. “The peniieioua aud criminal art of
the forger,” said M. Seguire, “has made such
astonishing progress, that it is useless to furnish
it new and dangerous weapons by the revelation
of an exlrenily zimple process for the re-produc
tion of all kinds of handwriting:”
Sad Acvhhemt with a Bow and Arrow. —
A very distressing accident occurred ou Satur
day afternoou to a little sou of Mr. James T.
Miles, who resides on Sciostreet in this city.
The little fellow, who is about six years old,
aud a playmate about his own age, were amu
sing themselves with bows aud arrows in the
woodhouse Accidentally, little Miles's com
panion discharged his arrow (which was a
pointed piece of whalebone) into the right eye
o tlie little fellow—causing its total destruction
The i qneous humor of the eye all ran out of
the wound. Such an accident seould warn
parents of the danger of putting into the hands
of their children such dangerous playthings.—

Extraordinary Story.—During the stay of
the Persian .\mbassador iu Moscow, a fire of
charcoal, lighted by his servant in a stove of
the room where his sou and the servant slept,
caused the death of the former by suflacation.
while the latter narrowly escaped with his life.
The Ambassador, iu order to avenge the death
of his son, commanded the servant, to whose
carelessness the accident was attributed, to be
flayed alive. The Russian police, however, in
terfered, alleging that such a punishment could
not be u lowed iu their country. Aerordingly,
his excellency ordered a box with airholes to
be made, for tbe purpose of transporting his I
mifcatunate servant to Persia, there to suffer ,
the fearful death, which even Russian civiliza-'

The Election of Speaker—Black
Saturday.
It was u custom of the ancients to mark
with blfiek those days that brought misfortunes
(o themselves or their country. Imitating their
example, we .may well mark last Saturday with
black. We may with some .appropriateness
denominate it Black Saturday—for on that
day Abolitionism, under the new name of Black
Rcpublicauiem. proved itself to be the controll
ing power in the popular branch of the Ameri
can Congress.
Whilst we acknowledged and felt the impor
tance of organizing the House of Representa
tives, we can ot help deploring an organization
that establ shes Black Republican ascendencv,
and lifts up Abolitionism from its congenial
gutter., to the high seats of the Government,
or the first ; .ime, in the history of ourconntry,
contemporary journalists and future historians
will be called on to record the triumph in tie
National Legislature of odious and fanatical
anti-slavery doctrines
Os Mr. Banks, the Speaker elect, ,ve shad
not speak in terms of personal disparagement.
He looks like a gentleman, he Las th manners
of a gentleman, and he certainly han the culti
vation of a gentleman. It is conceded, on all
hands, that he possesses more than ordinary
abilities, and t at he has marked qualifications
for the position of presiding officer. But for
Mr. Banks’s political views and principles
we have an aversion that language canuot
adequately describo.He belongs to the school of
politics, from which emanate all thos perni
cious errors ana heresies that threaten the exis
tence of our institutions and the stability of
our Government.
As if not content to choose from its ranks a
Freesoiler of the ordinary stamp, the Opposi
tion has saddled the house with a gentleman
■- ho is marked by extraordinary and fanatical
ze das an anti-slavery man—a gentleman from
the very hot-bed of Abolitionism—Massachu
setts—a gentleman who is reported to havesaid
tba l rather than yield to slavery extension he
would “let the Union slide,”—and-who, lately,
on the floor of the House of Representatives
anil in the face of the whole nation, solemnly
declared that he could not decide the problem
as,to the equality of the biack and white races!
When Mr. Batik’s election was announced,
it is said that the galleries thundered forth the
most stunning applause, and that ladies waved
their perfumed handkerchiefs in all the deliri
um of Freesoil ecatacy. It will seem strange
to our Southern readers when they learn that
this city, located on slave ground, and within a
few miles of the grave of Washington, should
contain any considerable body of people who
could rejoice and huzza over a triumph won by
Black Republicanism. But so it is. Whore
such people came from we do not know, and
shall take no pains to inquire. But certain it is
that numbers of them were present in the Cap
itol when the result of the two mouths’ ballot
tin for Speaker was made known on Saturday
evening.
We rather iodine to the opinion tLat. the
Speaker will find, ere long, that he has a hard
road to travel, aud that his office will prove no
bed of roses.
It is said that the ceremony of swearing in
the Speaker was performed by Mr. Gid
dings, the great head of Abolition sm, with
great unction, and in the most dramatic and
pompous manner. He looked as if the souls of
all the old negro martyrs and young negr<» ba
bies were infused into him. He looked as
grand as Jupiter, and as pleased as a “basket
•of chips." Then came clapping of hands,
stamping of feet, aud waving of handkerchiefs
Abolitionism was jubilant and exultant. But
I this, which, to use the language of Mr. Pick
wick, was “proudest moment'’ of their lives,
was to the friends of law, order, and the Con
stitution, a moment of profound mortification
and humiliation.
The longest day must have an end. and the
longest lane a turning. This election, which
in many aspects was- very important, was de
layed for two months—a thing unparailelid i .
our legislative annals; but it could not last al
ways, nd Black Saturday closed the sharp and
trying contest.
The courseof the Democratic party will com
mand the cordial approbation of the country.
N or will the course of those of the conservative
opposition, who, 00-operated with the Demo
crats, i ,il to oommand equal commendation.—
They fought a good fight; and although out
numbered by the enemy, tlry kept that enemy
oiyt of its victory for two months, and only
then failed of winning it by a few votes.
Wash. Sentinel.
Queen. Victoria Heterodox.
An article of ours which appeared some
weeks since under this title appears, from our
Colonial files, to have created quite a tumult
in clerical and Church established veins there,
and is represented, by the Liverpool European
'1 imes, as having divided attention iu England
with the President’s message by the last mail.
The article appeared o usa singularly inoffen
sive one. We happened to know, a week or
so before it was known in England, that the
Queen had conferred upon a sermon preached
at Balmoral, by Rev. Str Caird, the compli
ment of a command of publication, which is
usually deemed a special mark of approval of
the lessons it inculcates and the doctrines it
holds. Then we stated our belief that the ser
mon would be found to inculcate the truest
principles of practical Christianity and broth
erly love, an opinion which its perusal since has
fully confirmed.
Os the many admirable domestic virtues of-
Queen Victoria, and of the spirit of humanity
and sympathy which directed her dealingings
with all around ! er person, in however lowly a
place, we spoke in terms of respect and admira
tion ; bat we stated, and we repeal, that the
disposition evinced by the Queen, under the in
fluence of Prince Albert, tothink more of prac
tical Christianity, without regard to orthodoxy
of doctrine, than of Church teachings, aud ad
herence to Church articles and rubrics, had
given much a arm to the High Church Party
in England, and that her Special selection of
this sermom for approbation was another symp
tom of the disease. We stated, and wc repeat,
that Prince Albert is not a believer in the thir
ty-nine articles, or in the docteiucsof the Church
as by law estab.ishcd, though he may, in de
ference to his position, outwardly conform to
her services; but that he is in belief a Unita
rian, which wc regard as but a kind of concil
iatory compromise of Deism. And at die risk
of creating still more intense tumult, wc can in
form our consternation-struck clerical friends
that the disease of heterodoxy is not confined
to Prince Albert but extends to almost every
guardian of the Eseanliehed Church.
Os the late Chaiusllors. who have leciasp
charge of the patronage of the Church and her
interests, is it not patent to every one in Eng
land that both Lords Lyndhurst'anJ Brougham
were Deists in bJief? Nor is the present
Chancellor one whitmore orthodox, unless, since
iiis elevation, be has put op a new faith with
his dignity. Then the present Premier. Lord
Palmerston, in whose bauds are the appoint
ment of Archbishops aud Bishops, with that
gallantly of bearing which scorns concealment
or compromise, openly avows his disbelief in
Ch.rches. and that which is their great prop
stone—original sin. The only one of the pres
ent Cabinet of England who professes in pri
vate, belief in the doctrines ot the Established
Church, is Lord Harrowby, and ha has been
specially introduced into the Cabinet to save it
from a wholly heterodox reputation. Verily,
sad days have fallen on that fine old English
institution.—A’. I*. Daily Times.

A Eetter On Kansas.
We arte indebted to a gentleman of this city
for permission to copy the following letter ad
dressed to him by a former citizen of a .South
ern .State, now residing on the borders of Kan
sas. We regard it as the most definite and
satisfactory description of the laud of that
Teeritory—their character and present facilities
for settlement—that we have seen; and the tone
of the letter indicates that the political specu
lations of the writer are backed by shrewd ob
servation and sound judgment. The letter is
dated Columbus June.
Lexington, Lafayette Co., Mo., 1
January 21st, 1856. j
In reference to the lands in Kansas, I can
speak from personal observation of those lying
south of Kansas river, and by report of those
north. I consider that what is known as the
Shawnee Reserve as by far the best portion
that is to settle south of Kansas river- This
Reserve commences at the mouth of the said
river and runs up it. 30 miles, thence south 24
miles, containing about 480,000 acres, of which
200,000 is reserved for indians, to be selected
by them adjoining their present locations, so
soon as the survey of the same shall he return
ed. The rest will be open for white settlements.
Those surveys are now in progress, aud it is
thought will be completed by June. These
lands are very desirable—and dry, beautifully
undulating, aud there is plenty of building
rock and clear water. Along up the Kansas
river there is a belt of timber some 4 miles
wide. In this timber the Indians will mostly
select their lands, with a view of selling timber
to the whites. The rest is mostly prairie of
very fine quality. It is proposed to settle all
of his part of the country with pro-slavery men,
and there is now an organization for that pur
pose, the members of which have indicated
their claims in a definite manor. There is
pleijjy yet left.
On the north of Kansas river the country
as fine any where for a distance from the Mis
souri river, and I should suppose that anywhere
at a distance of not over 20 or 30 miles from
the last named river would be desirable, where
unoccupied land could be found; but this por
tion is tolerably well settled already. There is
a tract of cuntry some 18 miles from Lawreuce,
called Hickory Point, that is represented to be
highly desirable. It in settled with a mixture
of pro-slavery men and Abolitionists, the latter
outnumbering the former. At this place the
settlements are numerous, aud I have just been
informed that the Abolitionists wish generally
to leave it, and are offering to sell their improve
ments very low—say half of whiAthey held them
at six months ago.
As to the security of negro property, that
will depend on the aid we get from the ’ South
ern States. Thus far it is sacure ; and I only
express the oppinion I have on several occa
sions heajd expressed by intelligent men, to-wit,
that 500 or 1000 at most pro-slavery men, who
would move to Kansas with their slaves, would
settle the matter bey..nd question in the future.
There are a great many slaves already there ;
and whenever these At olitionists are brought
into actual contact with slavery as it is, if it
dees not convert t.em, it, so far modilics their
opinions as to render them barmlew. The
views of many, however, are entirely changed,
and they now desire to own our negroes.
There is miother class of persons in Kansas
from the free Stetes, who have gone there lor
the express purpose of set tling where slave prop
erty was recognized, in order that they' might
purchase. They say that white labor in the
free States west is so unreliable lhat a farmer
cannot depend on it. to secure his crops,
I have no douht but that, with moderate aid
from the Southern States, Kansas can be made
thoroughly pro-slavery. To the attainment of
this, the whole south in common with us is
prompted to action by every motive that can
influence human conduct. In my judgment,
should the disparity in the United States Sen
ate in the number of Senators from the stave
holdding and free States be much further in
creased, disunion or civile war will be the in
evitable result, unless more temperate councils
should prevail at the North—a contingency
more to be hoped for than expected.
Should your friends come, I should be pleas
ed if they would call upon me here, ami I will
give them all the aid in m power. Through
out all western Missouri they will be received
with a warm welcome. F. A. K.
Cradle and Arm Chair.—ln his Thanks
giving sertnou, sketched in the New York Tri
bune, Henry Ward Beet-ber said :
“No house is complete without two pieces of
furniture—the cradle and the old arm chair.—
No house is full that Lath not in it a babe and
a grandfather or a grandmother. Life becomes
more radiant and perfect when its two extremes
keep along with it. The two loves who watch
the cradle nnd serve the chair arc one. But
how different in all their openings and actions.
To tho child the heart tarns with more tender
ness of love. To the aged parent, love i.s borue
upon a series of reverence. Through tlse child
you look forward—through the parent; back
ward. In the child you see hope, joys come,
brave ambition, aud a life yet to be drawn
forth in ull its many-sided experiences. Through
the silver-haired parent you behold the past, life
done, its scenes enacted, its histories registered.
If God calls you to follow your child to the grave
ere it has ceased to be a child, you send it to
Heaven that God may rear it for you, sayin".
take it, oil, Father, too soon snatched away, and
keep it; and keep me- till tbe weariness of life
is ended, and I go too.
“ But when the parent goes, ripe in yeftrs, his
life blameless, his fruit gathered and garnered,
we give his form to earth, saying with grati
tude, God be thanked that he hath now depart
ed. Go. my mother, to thy rest, and be sure
that I will follow after thee, and sunn overtake
thee.’
A Fleet Frozen Up.
New York, Feb. 7.—According to accounts
which were yesterday given by pilots and cap
tains of vessels, who had just come in from City-
Island and vieinity, the ice in tho river above
Heli Gate, is more abundant and solid than it
has been for maty years past. The whole river,
they say, is frozen over, between L.-nt’s Point,
above the Gate, to Sand's Point, a distance of
about IS miles. Near Trogg's Point, the ice
is over a foot thick, and much of it covered with
snow of an equal depth. Teams can pass over
from Mor-isport on the IVest side, to Sands
point, on Long Island shore. No water can be
seen by a person looking iu the direction of the
Sound, from a vessel s mast-head at Heart Is
land.
About thirty vessels, brigs, schooners, sloops,
Ac., are ice-bound between Saud's Point and
Riker's Island, among which are the following
that were not reported ou tbe 23d ult.:
British brig Ellsworth, Horton, from Nova
Scotia ; British sehoonerEmma, from St. Johns.!
N. B.; schooner Starr, from Boston ; Angler, j
for Bridgeport ; Caroline H., from Eastport;
Delaware, from Rockland; Lion, for Provi

aud a schooner from Saco, name not known,
which lies beyond Sand's Point. Alsu, three
propellers, the Pelican and Westchester, from
Providence, aud the Westenport. from Port
land. Schooner Vulcan. with coal, bound to
Norwich, was cut through and sunk at the pier
just below Throgg Point. Beside the captains,
who have ihtis left their vessels. ti:e crew of the

following
REPORT:
This Bank was iucorporated on the 17th day
of February, 1855, and John B. Reid, William
R. Phillips, A. S. D. Johnson,
J. S. Jones and D. A. Johnson, and such other
persons as might thereafter become stockhold
ers, were made corporators. Any three of the
corporators were constituted a Board of Com
missioners to receive subicriptions for s ock.
The third section of the charter declares—
“ that the capital stock of the Bank shall be
two hundred thousand dollars, which may be
increased to five hundred thousund dollars, which
shall be divided into shares of on i hundred dol
lars each.” But the company may commence
business as soon as fifty per cent, of the capital
stock shall have been paid in gold or silver.
The eighteenth section of the charter declares
“ that should this charter be disposed of to an
individual in this State, or an individual or
company out of the State, the same shall be
forfeited, aud the Governor shall issue his proc
lamation to that effect.”
These are the provisions of the charter the
committee deem it necessary to consider.
i The committee have been unable to derive
any information in relation to the organization
of the Bank, who subscribed for the stock, or
how much was paid iu gold and silver previous
to said Bank commencing business, or any other
, matter connected with the conduct and manage-
■ inent of the Bank, except what they durive
I from the returns made to the Executive Depart
; ment by the President aud Cashier.
The first return contains a statement of the
• condition of the Bank on the first of February.
1855, and is sworn to by J. S. Jones, Presi-
■ dent, and P. Geddis, Cashier, on the 27th day
i February, 1855.
A letter of the Cashier accompanying the
report, states that the Bank went iuto opera
; tjon on the Ist day of November, 1854 ; so that
. the bank had been in operation three nvjnths
■ when this report was made.
This return contains no list of the naw is or
• number of the rtoukholders, or the amou ut of
- stock held by anybody. It states, however,
that the stock taken or subscribed for, is one
hundred thousand dollars.
Upon reference to the third section of the
charter, as before stated, the Bank was allowed
to commence business so soon as fifty per cent,
oljhc capital was paid in in gold and silver.—
Fifty per cent, upon the capital was one hun
dred thousand dollars, and therefore the Bank
could not commence business until one hundred
thousand dollars was paid in gold and silver.
Upon reference to their first return, which
was made after the Bank had been in operation
three mouths, it appears that they then had but
twelve thousand and ninety-three 94-100 dol
lars iu specie.
Now, if they had one hundred thousand dol
lars in gold and silver when the}'commenced
business, i is a little singular that it should be
reduced to twelve thousand ninety-three 94-100 j
in the space of three months. This is possible. I
but highly improbable, espeatully when it is
recollected when their main field of circulation
was iu the North-Western States ; audit is the
opinion of the committee that no such amount
of one hundred thousand dollars was paid in
previous to the Bank’s commencing business;
and they believe this faet can be abundantly
proved upon a proper investigation of this mat.
ter in a court of justice.
The second and last return made to the Ex- f
ecutive Department, contains a statement of 8
the condition of the Bank on the 17th of Au-1
gust, 1855, and is sworn to by the President t
and Cashier on the 17th of September of that j
year.
The returns shows that the stock had been >
increased to five hundred tlioueand dollars, and i
that George Smith was the owner of four thou- ;
sand nine hundred and thirty shares, and that ,
Robert Reid, S. Lind, J. S. Jones, William
Markham, J. R. A aleutine, S. C. Higginson
and P. Gaddis, were the owners of ten shares
each.
It will be observed that J. S. Jones and P.
Gaddis, who are returned as owning te:i shares
each, are the President and Cashier of this
Bank ; and that J. R. Valentine and S. C. |
Higginson are the President and Cashier of
the Atlanta Bank, which loiter Bank, as your
. committee have reason to know - , belongs to said
George Smith almost exclusively, if not entirely
so, aud is entirely under his control.
Whether these stockholders, whose names are 3
standing ten shares each of the stock of said
Bank, are true and boua fide stockholders, or
‘ arc mere nominal stockholders for the benefit of
Smith, the committee have no cvidemce ; but
from what they have witnessed of the conduct
, and management of Smith in the organization
I and control of the Atlanta Bank, they enter
tain but little doubt tiiat these stockholders are
merely nominal, and that the whole Stock in
' truth and fact belongs to George Smith.
The view however, that the committee have
taken of the 18th section of the charter docs
not tender ibis fact material. That section
provides that should the charter be disponed of
in this State, to an individual, or to an individ
ual or comp my out of the State, the same
should be forfeited.
Now the only way .known to your committee
in which a charter may be disposed of, is by
i transferring and disposing of the stock,
j Whoever owns the a tock owns the privileges,
: rights and franchises tl tat are granted by the
i act incorporating the B auk : and whoever owns
! a majority of tic stock possesses the power and
the right to exercise ai id use all the privileges
and franchises granted by the act incorporating
the Bank, aud has entjire control of what may
be called the charter, :and iu truth and fact the
charter is disposed of to such person.
Again: The iatention of the Legislature was
that no one individnod should have control of
the charter of the Bank. It was doubtless
thought, and in the <»piaion of your Committee
rightfully thought, that the giving thpi control
of the charter to one man would be diugerous
to the rights and interests -of the community ;
and therefore they have declared that it should
not bo done under pain of foifeiture ivf the
charter.
Acccording to> the return laeJ made George
Smith owns four thousand nine hundred and
thirty shares of tire stock, and ah’ the rest of
the stockholders owned seventy. This gives
Smith as perfect and complete comtrol or the
Batik as though lie owned every share ; and the
charter of the Batik which passes to tlx ’ person
who owns such a large majority of th»' stock
is disposed of to an individual'. This .section
of the charter declares that this shall ni’t be
done, ami if it is done, the charter shaV be
i for eited.
! Your committee therefore have litt>e doui’t
that the charter is forfeited for a violation of
the second section thereof. And tiey entertain
no doubt that it is forfeited for a violation of
the 18th section of the character as before sta
ted.
Upon these viewsof the mathejssubmitted to
committee, they recommend the Senate to pas.’
1 the following Resolutions:
Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor
be requested to issue bis proclamation declaring
the charter of said Bank forfeited for a viola
tion of the provisions of the 18th section of said
charter.
2d. That the Solicitor General of the Flint
Circuit be instructed to institute such legal
proceedings agiaust said Bank in the Superior
Court of Spalding county as may be ueccesaarv
and proper for having the charter of said
Bank adjudged, forfeited, and the privileges and
franchises thereby granted. reverted to the
State.

The subscribers, composing a minority of the
commitee on the Atlanta and other Banks, be
ing unable to agree with the majority, beg leave
to submit the following Report in regard to
the Bank of the Interior :
The majority appear to infer that SI 00,000
in specie had not been paid in at the time the
Bank went into operation, mostly from the fact
that the first report of the Bank, three months
after it went into operation, showed that on the
Ist of Febuary, 1855, said Bank had on hand
only 812,093 94—On this po nt we only deem
it necessary to say that the fact can be proven,
if necessary, by the sworn evidence of witnesses
of the first respectability, that the SIOO,OOO
was in fact paid according to the requirements
of the Charter, before the Bank went into
operation; and upon this statement they leave
that part of the subject.
On the next point the charter provides
against the disposition of the charter only, and
not against tho subscription for stock by non
residents and others. We do not believe as
the majority does, that the subscription for
stock is a disposition of the Charter. And as
to the shares, which stand in the names of resi
dents of Georgia, they are bona fids, owned by
them, and the shares have been paid for; all
which ean,and will be proved, if required.
All which is respectfully submitted.

Maryland.—At a late meeting of tbs dem
ocratic members of the legislature of Maryland
the following resolutions were adopted by a
unanimous vote:—
Resolved, That we congratulate the country,
upon the administration of Franklin Pierce,
President of the United States; and in the his
tory.of the administration, in connection with
the history of the administration immediately
preceding it, we recognise the policy of the
federal government as finally established and
acquiesced in upon those subjects which hereto
fore formed rhe issues of the two great political
parties.
Resolved, That we most cordially approve
and commend the high and dignified position
President Pierce lias assumed, and which, to
gether with him, the democratic party of the
Uniou has taken in defence of the rights secured
to the various sections of our country under
the federal constitution, iu support of the prin
ciples of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and in pat
riotic aud unwavering opposition to all organ
izations attempting, either directly or indirect
ly, to impair the saerzd privilege of liberty of
conscience, to abridge the equal rights of the
people of this country by an arbitrary, unjust,
and unconstitutional discrimination between
the native-born and the naturalized citizen;
aud wc will maintain, in its present organiza
tion, the integrity of that party, as the only
party now in the country whose organization
is ' national, whose principles arc in accord
ance with the federal constitution, and whose
purposes arc patriotic and just; and in this high
political duty we invite all good citizens to
cooperate with us.
Why Don't They Shout?—Last summer,
when the congressional elections were taking
place in the Northern States, the election of
any of “ Sam’s” disciples, and the consequent
defeat of a democrat, was shouted over and ex
ulted over by Southern Know Nothings as if
something great and desirable liad taken place.
Sam triumphed in the North, and-wliat ha*
been the result ? National democrats—sound
men, who would have defended our constitution
■ nl rights, were ousted from their seats in Oon-
I gress and deprived of ti voice in our legislation,
because Sam had been marching through the
country. “ Sam’s” men have triumphed in the
House of Representatives, and for the first time
in our history an avowed abolitionist occupies
the speaker's chair. Southern know nothings
canuot evade or avoid the responsibility of this
thing. They aided to start tho crusade of
fanaticism and to inaugurate the system of mid
night dens and secret plotting places, by means
i of which abolitionism has triumphed and one
i branch of the government placed in their hands,
j They are a part and parcel of the system through
’ -which such outrages as this upon the rights of
3 the South can be perpetrated, aud they cannot
J expect to escape the responsibility of their ac
( tion. They will be held to rigid accountability
j to an outraged public sentiment, and will rue
I the day, and that not far distant, when they
consented to plot in sink-holes and garrets,
against the rights of their fellow-men. Already,
in this shocking perversion of the American
spirit, indicated in the election of Banks they

plainest precepts of honesty and republicanism-

, Dr. Kane’s Arctic expedition.
. To the Editor oj the Times :
Sib,—Dr. Kane’s official despatches, with the
chart of his Arctic discoveries, are now before
the public. As I apprehended, they clear away
all the obscurity contained in the newspaper ac-
J counts, aud unquestionably place Dr. Kane in
the foremost rank of Arctic explorers.
Had he heard the hearty cheer, which, at the
suggestion of the Hrdrographer, was raised to
his honor last night in the rooms of the Geo
graphical Society by the crowded audience who
beard his modest, yet extraordinary narrative,
he would, I am sure, have been highly grati
fied.
Having heard from friends in the United
States, that a letter of mine in your columns
has had the effect of leading to an erroneous
idea, that Dr. Kane’s arduous and heroic under
taking was not duly appreciated in this country,
' I shall feel greatly obliged by the publication
of this communication, which I trust will have
: the effect of assuring the gallant Doctor that he
is highly esteemed and admired by all who take
i an interest in Arctic exploration.'
I may be permitted to add an interesting fact
which does not appear in his official despatch to
the Admiralty, but which he communicates in a
letter to a friend. It is that although the tem
perature at tlie winter quarters of the expedi
tion was colder than has ever been experienced
in the Arctic regions, that of the open water to
the north was comparatively very high, and a
great variety of animal life was seen, including
whales and plant-eating birds.

The Farmers’ Prospect. The farmers of
the United States have evidently good prices
ahead, and they should begin to make their cal
culations accordingly. It is now quite too late
in the season to talk about increasing the wehat
crop of 1856. The extent of that matter was
determined weeks ago. But the corn crop of
the United States is more important than that
of wheat. Besides the corn and meal exported
we put the worth of a few millions of dollars
into pork, beef, lard, etc., much of which comes
from corn.
Between this and planting time next spring,
our farmers may calculate their chances for pri
ces, and plant accordingly. There cau be but
little doubt, however but what every species of
grain and other agricultural produce will bring
high prices for at least two or three years to
come, and how much longer no one can predict
I with any degree of certainty. It will be per
fectly safe for farmers to put in the coming
spring all the corn they can manage. Spring
.wheat for home consumption may also be grown
w.'th profit. Barley, oats, peas beaus;ect., will
also insure good returns, and will probably sup
ply the place of winter wheat in many families.
Therefore, if our farmers are vigilant, and get
all things ready for extensive spring and sum
n. -er crops, the whole country will be greatl 7

Kansas Intelligence.
Westport, Mo., Jan. 1856.
Knowing that information in regard to this
□art of the country, iaeargly sought for at tho
South, I have taken occasion to drop you a few
lines upon the subject of Kansas Territory,
which if thought worthy, I desire a place in
your paper! The village of Westport at which
lam for the present stopping, is on the line
dividing Missouri from Kansas, four miles from
the Missouri river, and by water, four hund cd
and fifty seven miles from St. Louis. . The pop
ulation of the place is sonic fifteen hundred, it
contains a nnmber of excellent dry good stores
and grocery stores, aud several drugstores, all
apparently doing a good businees. The Shaw
nee Reserve lies directly west of this, extending
thirty miles cast und west, aud twenty five
miles north and south. From this Reserve the
Shawnecs have to select, under their late treaty;
200 acres for each individual, amounting in all
to some 200,000 acres—after this selection has
been made the balance of this reserve will be
open for preemption. On the north side of the
Kansas river, generally culled the Kuw river,
are the Delaware lands, altho' not subject to
preemption’ have all been squatted ou. Upon
these lands several towns have been established
among others, Leavenworth City. 45 miles
above this on the Missouri and near Ft. Leaven
worth. Under the treaty with the Delawares,
the Government agreed to pay them the full
proceeds of the sales of their lands after deduc
ting cost of sale and survey ; but the squatters
have disregarded this provision of the treaty,
aud have banded thcmielves together to secure
to each other their claimsat the minimum price
of $1,25 per acre. 1 evenworth city contains
some two thousand inhabitants already— twelve
months since it did not contain one hundred.
I have already been over a large portion of
Kansas, and most unhesitatingly say that it is
a rich and beautiful country. Its prairies are
the richest in the world anil yield most abun
dant crops of wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, hemp
and tobacco; only requiring moderate exertion
on the part of the husbandman. It is true that
to some extent, wood and water are scarce, but
there is a plenty for all ordinary purposes In
no part of the world could a Southern gentle
man locate himself with such undoubted as
surances of success. Land can now be obtained
by asking preemption claims, and after they
arc brought into market', secured at $1,25 per
acre. If any body wants a cheap home, let
him conic to Kansas
A great many towus have sprung up—l will
, name some of them. Lawcruce is a Yankee
town; built by the celebrate!} Emigrant Aid
Society. It is situated on the Kaw river about
fifty miles west from this, and contains about
a thousand inhabitants. It is the great head
quarters of ul the Abolitionists'and all their
movements and plans are here concocted. Le
compton, the capital, is on the Kaw, still further
to the West from Lawrence about 8 miles.
Tecumseh is still further west; on the Kaw, a
bout ten miles from Lecompton, und coutait s
about 300 inhabitants. Topeka is still further
west, on the Kaw, about ten miles from Te
cumseh, and contains some 300 inhabitants.—
Franklin is on the Waduruslm, about 35 miles
west of this, during the late excitement was the
headquarters of tho proslavery troops. The
Santa Fe road which starts from this point,
(Westport,) runs in a South West direction,
and is crossed every ten „or fifteen miles by
streams ; at the crossing of each of these, towns
are being built: others One Hundred
and Ten, which is 7;> miles from Westport.—
Council city is also on tho Santa Fe Road,
still further w«.st, and Council Grove, at the
crossing of tho Neosho, 140 miles west of this,
and the last white settlement upon that road.—
To the South, we have the town of Fort Scott,
about 130 miles from this’ and is where Judge
Cato has his residence. We hope to sec a
large emigration from the South in the Spring
—the route is by the Mississippi und Missouri,
to Kansas city, aud from thence to Westport.—
This is the best point from which to outfit and
-e arrangements forgoing iuto the Territo
ry. With great respect,

Another Battle in Kansas.
Lawrence, K. T., Jan. 1856.
A little inciclenL transpired here to-day
which may be of interest to your readers, in
sho wing that we arc not only blessed with
brave men, but yet braver women. One of onr
patriotic citizens gave a party a few days since
and engaged a buxom little lady of Yankee
stock to bake tho cake and prepare the ‘chick
en fixins,” the expense of which amounted to
the snug sum, for an occasion like this, in a new
country, of forty-two dollars lawful money; but
the liberal gentleman being short of cash, or
from some other cause, either refused or neg
lected to fork over the dimes in due season to
madam; upon winch the little lady, together
with her lawful lord, not having the fear of the
law before their eyes, or acting upon the sup
position that thcie is no law in tho benighted
region, broke into the domicil of tho soiree man
and appropriated to themselves goods, chatties,
household furniture, &c.,us they say in the. ad
vertisements; to the amount of some four hun
dred dollars, and secreted them in various parts
of the town.
Immediately tlie services of the celbrated
Sheriff Jones, which have heretofore been re
pudiated by us, were called into requisition, nnd
the Sheriff, who is always ready to do his duty,
came here for the purpose of arresting the of
fenders. The lady with true Yankee grit, at
once informed Sheriff Jones that he would not
be permitted to arrest her husband, displaying
on her person, like bolted knight, two enormous
Colt revolvers, and brandishing another in his
face threatened to relieve him of the cares of
office and Douglas county, while the mob gath
ered round, armed to the teeth, ready to take
advantage of any pretence to attack the Sher
iff; but i.e being a gallant gentleman, declined
a rencontre with the fair ouc. and she at once
paraded her husband through tho streets of our
young city with as much pomposity as a militia
officer.
The crowd insulted the Sheriff, by telling
him to “pitch in now,” as it was only a woman
resisting the laws, and not the people of Lawre
nce. Tne Sheriff answered them by offering
any two men of the crowd SSO to take tne of
fender under their charge, and he would ut
once show them whether Tie would take him or
not. The Sheriff got a couple of friends to
aid him, and watching his opportunity, one of
them seized the lady by the wrists, while the
Sheriff seized his prisoner, forced him iuto a
wagon and drove off to Leavenworth, to put
him in jail. But the lady was not satisfied
pluck to the last, as soon as the gentleman re
leased his hold, she drew a revolver uud snap
ped it at his head, and when he turned to run,
she fired at him, just grazing bis temple and
cutting off a lock of hair. She fired four
times,but without effect. So much for one duy
in Lawrence. Thus, you sec, when difficul
ties arise among ourselves we appeal to Sheriff
Jones und the laws, but when among pro-slave
ry outsiders, we resist them.— Correspondence

National Know Nothings.
As matter for remembrance, wc publish the
names of tho six members of the “National”
Know Nothing organization, who were so “in
tensely American” aS to permit the notorious
Black Republican candidate, Nathaniel P.
Banks, of Massachusetts to be elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives in Congress,
by casting their votes for Mr. Fuller, of Penn
sylvania, when they had it in their power to
defeat the Black Republicans, and give the
proper direction to the committees of the J louse
and destroy the arrogant pretensions of Rieder
to a seat in Congress, as a delegate from Kan
sas. Vhy did they not cast their votes (ortho
Hon. Win. Aiken, of South Carolina? We
do not. question their right to vote for whom
they please, but wc do deny their right to vote
us they did, and then claim fellowship with any
party that should be recognized as favorable to
the South, or to the Constitution of onr com
mon country.
Below are the names of the six Know Noth
ings who voted for Mr. Fuller, on the lust bal
lot. for Speaker:
Jacor Broom, of Pennsylvania.
William Millward, “
Bayard Clark, of New York.
Thomas R. Whitney. “
Elisha D. Cullen, of Delawa e.
H. W. Davis, of Maryland.
The above are some of the immaculate "Na
tionals” of the Know Nothing brotherhood,
that we have read such beautiful compliments
about. When these gentlemen were voting for
“Fuller, who was a sounder man for the South
than Richardson,” they were reliable “Nation
al” men. Butthe r furlough expired on Satur
day last, and they were called into active ser
vice, but. tho six desired no situation “nei.r the
flash of the cannon.” Their reliability was for
newspaper display before tho battle, and not in
the fight which was to ensue.
Will some of our Know Nothing entempo
raries look over their files, nnd notiefc what
complimentary terms they indulged in when
referring to the supporters of Fuller—“the
sound National Americans.”
Who are the National Know Nothings from
the free States, that voted for Hon. Wm. Aiken
for Speaker? Willsome Southern Know Noth
ing editor be kind enough to investigate this
matter, and let the public have the result of his
investigation? Who are they? We have the
vote before us, and wo do not sec the name of
one single man ! What, not even Fuller, from
Pennsylvania? No. He either dodged or
found it very convenient to bo momentarily
absent at the time to vote, but in time to join
the committee to conduct Mr. Banks to the
Speaker’s chair.
While not a single Know Nothing from the
free States voted for Aiken, nineteen Northern
or free State Democrats did vote for him—did
vote airainst Banks—and the records show it,
and prove what we assert.
Banks has been elected Speaker, w ithout ob
taining a vote from a Southern member; nnd
his election could have been defeated if the sup
porters of Fuller hud voted for Aiken. The
result is an exclusively sectional triumph to the
people of tho free States, nnd will be hailed by
them with congratulations us an inauguration
of the baleful theories of their Black Republi
can hosts.
If tho people of the South do not. now unite
as one party—if Southern Know Nothings are
not satisfied that their Northern National friends
are unworthy of affiliation with them—then wc
are at a loss to know what would satisfy them,
and what could unite tho South.
