to the excellent character the two banks sustain, they
c tntinuing to pay specie when almost every other bank
in the State has suspended. It shows, moreover, that
money is as plenty as it ever was—none of it is lost—
and only wants business tociil it into circulation again.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
There hare been several arrivals at “New* York from’
Liverpool since our last, bringing London dates to the

The money market was said to be easier in London,
and the cotton market had improved at Liverpool £ to

Mr. Biddle’s U. S. Bank bonds w®nt out by the
Toronto and Independence packet ships, which sailed
from New York on the 16th of April, and had arrived
at Liverpool. They do not seem to be entirely relished
by the brokers of Liverpool on account of their form.
’ The London Morning Chronicle says, in reference to
|
bondsr>f f hc U. S. Sank to-day, in consequence of their
1 having been made payable to order, and not to bearer,
which has rather checked the desire to deal in them.
It is obvious that temporary speculators on the Stock
j Exchange are not desirous of incurring the responsi-
I bility of endorsing a species of paper that, after all, is.
j founded hut upon questionable principles, since upon
i every bargain an endorsement would be required that
j would open a field to compound liabilities, that yet have
; not been rightly calculated upon.”
Our difficulties on this side of the Atlantic were yet
but partially disclosed on the other—and other sources
0} distress were beginning to operate, connected with
the East India trade. The British, says a New York
paper, will have their share of the commercial revulsion
: which is sweeping over the world—to be felt for a few
years, until, in the eager pursuit of gain, and the ever
! restless spirit of commercial enterprise, they forget the
lessons of adversity and the teaching of experience.
1 here docs not, however, appear to be any pressure on
the Bank of England. We feel confirmed in the im
pression that there will be no suspension of specie pay
ments in England, from reasons at present operating,
for the banks generally are said to be fully able to re
deem their issues—and when they are apprised of the
suspension of specie payments in America, it will be an
additional reason for them to continue to redeem.
There was much distress in the manufacturing dis
tricts of England, on account of the want of employ
ment ami the low prices of labor. Says a Nottingham
paper,—“ We have for nearly three months been suf
fering severely from want of work fur the operatives
Stocking and lacc frames, which are fir the great part
productive of the staple part of our trade, are now near
ly out of work, and in consequence thousands of hands
are out of employ. On Tuesday afternoon about 2,000
unemployed hands visi’e 1 the bakers’ and butchers’
shops, soliciting charity; their imposing appearance in
timidated parties to give them what they demanded.
Some principle seemed to guide the leaders of the mob,
tor, on one baker only giving a penny loaf, and it was
proposed to throw it through his window, the suggestion
was immediately decried. Another baker, on giving
two half-stone loaves, was most vehemently cheered.”
Since the njbnvc was written the packet ships Shaks
peare and Orpheus have arrived at New York from
Liverpool and London, bringing dates from the former
place to the IGtli and the latter to the 18th ult.
The money market and business had much improved
in both cities. Trade was again resuming its wonted
channels, confidence was becoming firmer, and money
matters much easier in general. New York dates had
been received at London till the 24th April, which was
alout a month after the failure of the Josephs, and as
the British merchants knew pre-ty will the worst from
this side of the Atlantic, the panic was over. They
knew what they hail to count on, and were making
their calculations accordingly.
The Chickasaw Union, published at Pontotock.Miss
of the first instant, states that the land sales com
menced on Monday previous at thnt place. “ The
purchasers are comparatively few, and the sale dull.
Superior laud, wc are informed, has been knocked off

COLLINS WORTH MANUAL LABOUR AND
LITERARY INSTITUTE,
TA I. BOTTOM. Ga.
At a meeting of a portion of the citizens of Talbot
county, held this day (6th June instant.) for the pur
pose (A* taking into consideration the propriety of estab
lishing an institution of die above character, upon the
proffer made by Mr. Josiah Flournoy of the fund of
Forty Thousand Dollars to be appropriated for that
purpose, provided the citizens of Talbot county will
raise by subscription a further and sufficient sum for
the purchase of a suitable settlement of I.and, at or in
the immediate vicinity of Talbot ton and to erect the
necessary buildings, 6ic. Maj. Edward W. Wright
was called to the chair, and Edward Delony, appointed
to act as Secretary.
The meeting being organised, its object was explain
ed by the chairman, with the. addition of a few appro
priate remarks by B. Hill,Esq. ami Rev. Mr. Brown.
On motion of M. Fort, a committee of five, com
posed of tlie fillowing gyntlemen, (viz :) M. Fort, B.
Hill, Rev. M. Brown, J. Z. Disinukcs and Edward
Delony, were appointed to make a report and address,
on the terms find condition of the proffered Donation
and the nature and propriety of an Institution of this
character.
On motion the meeting theh adjourned td Saturday
next, the 10th inst.
Saturday, 10th June, 1837.
Met according to adjournment, K. W. Wright in the
chair, and Edward Delony, Secretary.
On motion, the committee offered the following re
port, which was received, read and agreed to; (viz:)
REPORT.
The committee, to whom was referred the subject of
the •* terms and condition of the proffered Donation” of
Mr. Josiah Flournoy, for the purpose of erecting a
Manual Labor and Literary Institute, to be located at.
or near Talbotton, and the “ nature and propriety” of
an institution of such a character, beg leave tortatc,
that they have had placed before them all the necessa
ry means for assertaining the objects desired, and they
find that the sum of Forty Thousatul Dollars has been .
offered by Mr. Jo.-siuh Flournoy, for the object above
specified on the following terms and conditions, viz :
That the said sum of money is appropriated ns a stand
ing fund, the interest of which is to be paid annually
by the Trustees named in the deed of gift, conveying
the same to be expended for the various uses of the In
stitution in defraying its necessary expenses,&c. This
interest will amount to the annual sum of three thousand
two hundred dollars, an amount amply sufficient for the
purposes for which it is designed.
The condition on which this donation is made to the
county of Talbot, is, that the citizens thereof will raise
by subscription or otherwise, a further aim sufficient
sum of money, for tlie erection of the necessary build
ings and the purchase of a suitable settlement of land
011 which to place the said buildings, and carry on the
tawmingoperations: For this purpose if is thought that
of £5 or 28 thousand dollars will he amp y suf
ficient, and now all that is necessary on the part of the
citizens of Talbot to secure tlie location of this impor
tant and excellent institution in their own county, is for
them to come forward and make up the desired sum.
and the preparations necessary to put this school into
operation will lie immediately commenced.
This aims to be an Institution of a high literary con
venience, in which not only the common branches of
English education arc taught, but also the classics and
the various other branches ofiiteraturc usually taught
in Colleges, and that these will be taught so completely
and thoroughly as to enable the pupil to enter upon the
study of the higher professions w iih all the qualifications
of a complete collegiate course.
It is deemed almost unnecessary for this committee
to address you with arguments in favor of the great be
nefits which would result from an institution of this
character, or the advantages which would derive to the
citizens of this county from its location among them.
These must be so fully opparent that no individual can
fail to discover them; wc deem it. however, not tnim
portant to present to this community our views of some
of the most important benefits which we believe will,
and no doubt have been, produced by institutions like
the one under consideration, and tiicsc we consider of
the highest moment—
-Ist. Institutions on the manual labor plan claim su
periority over all (iher modes of education, on ih*
, ground* that the constitution of the student is kept
hcailhful and vigorous by his laboring regularly every
day at stated times. Tne time occupied by labor is not
sufficiently long or fatiguing to interfere with his stu
dies, and labor tnus regulated becomes , a source-of
recreation. The moral habits of the student are thus
improved by his being educated in a manner calculated
to crea’e a lore of industry and a practical knowledge
of the art of agriculture, while it strengthens and invi
gorates the rnind, ennobling it to grasp more firmly the
various subjects of science and knowledge.
21. These institutions claim superiority over other
modes, off the ground that the students, while acquiring
an education of a more durable and beneficial character,
form a community among themselves, not only during
their studies, but during their labors, recreation and
hours of leisure and rest. They arc constantly under
the supervision of their instructors, (unless their pa
rents should reside near the institution, in which case
they are allowed to board at home;) therefore the pa
rent has the strongest guaranty that they will not be
exposed to and ruined by the common vices and dissi
pations of the age, while acquiring an education.
3:1. These institutions claim superiority, on the
ground of the small expense with which an education
can be acquired; thereby opening to the poor those trea
sure* of knowledge, which to them have been hitherto
locked up. This institution from its great endowment,
will afford eminent advantages in this particular.
Iu a pecuniary point of view this institution, if lo
cated here, will produce great advantages to the county:
Ist. The immediate expenditure of the amount of
twenty thousand dollars among us, to the farmer, the
miller, the merchant and the mechanic.
2J. The annual expenditure of three thousand two
hundred do’lars, the interest of the fund appropriated.
31. The board of say sixty students, at seventy-five
dollars each, from a distance, which—though going to
the officers of the institution, wouid he expended in the
town and county —annually four thousand five hundred
dollars.
4th. Clothing, and other incidental expenses incur
red by the pupils—say seventy-five dollars each annu
ally—four thousand five hundred dollars.
sth. Say thirty pupils—amount saved to the commu
nity in educating them at home at one hundred dollars
each annually, three thousand dollars.
6:h. Visits of guardians, parents and friends through
the year, annually, say five hundred dollars.
7th. The whole making an amount of thirty-five
thousand seven hundred dollars, at a very moderate and
reasonable calculation, which will he expended in mo
ney and thrown into circulation among this community,
and an annual expenditure of fifteen thousand, besides
the increased demand for all kinds of supplies, the ad
ditional value of real estate, and the increased popula
tion, which the location of this institution among us
must necessarily bring about.
The moral and socinl advantages will ho greatly in
creased, the society of the learned who will manage
and preside over the institution; the high standing and
refinement of those who would locate around such an
institution, will improve and reform the society of the
town and country.
Your committee find that the terms of subscription
are exceedingly liberal. One third of the amount which
any individual may think proper to subscribe, is paya
ble the first day of January. 1830; ami one third annu
ally thereafter until the whole nun is discharged.
The amount already subscribed, while but little ef
fort has been made, is about ten or twelve thousand
dollars—almost half of the amount which is called for,
and which your committee deem exceedingly flattering
and encouraging to those who are engaged in this
laudable enterprise.
111 closing this repot t, your committee take the liberty
to express their entire belief in the success of this pro
ject, and urge upon their fellow citi7.ens to lend their aid
fccalously in its behalf.
On motion, INI. Fort, Henry Miins, S. CL Leach.
Win. Harvey. Rev. C. A. Brown. Francis Dismukes,
James Tookc, Robert Carson. Uev.C.Tusher and Jas.
Ellison were appointed a committee to procure sul>-

On motion, the meeting adjourned nine die.

Correspondence of the Montgomery Advertiser.
Tuscaloosa, June 12th, 1837.
Tiie two Houses ol’ (he General Assembly
were organized this morning. In the Senate,
the old officers resumed their respective du
ties, under the election of last winter. In the
House, Col. Bagby was elected Speaker, with
out opposition; G. B. Frierson, principal
Clerk; H. L. Martin, assistant, and Tatom,
Door-keeper, all of whom were officers at the
last session.
After some preliminary resolutions, con
cerning the government of the two branches,
Col. Burke, the Senator from Wilcox county,
introduced a series of resolutions upon the
embarrassed condition of the country, declar
ing a decided opposition lo all stop-laws, but
warmly in favor of relief, which were read
the first time to day, and will come up for a se
cond reading to-morrow.
Similar resolutions were introduced in the
House by Col. Campbell, who, upon the ofc
amTconvincin'*; and, so
far as I could judge, seemed to make a deci
ded impression upon several, who are known
to he opposed to their object. They were
made the special order of the day for Wednes
day.
The Governor’s Message was read shortly
after. It breathes, in every word, a spirit of
the deepest sympathy for the condition of the
country, and an ardent desire for speedy re-,
lief. He proposes .to justify the suspension of
specie payments by the Banks; to remit all
interest accruing against them on account of
such suspension ; to give one, two, and three
years upon all debts now due, or running to
maturity, to those institutions; and to let
them endeavor to resume specie payments in
a short time, say twelve months, and in the
interval to discount liberally, but nc)t pro
fusely.
He also recomfnends at large, the issu
ing of Stateßonds. This scheme lias many
supporters, from the intelligent of all parties,
and if the system be decided upon, I think it
will prove successful. So far as I can learn,
there is a general disposition for relief of some
kind, though it is difficult to form a plan ac
ceptable to all.
It is understood here, that Judge Smith,
Col. Erwin, Mr. Ellis, and srtme other promi
nent members of the House, are opposed to
relief; while, on the other hand, Col. Bagby,
Col. Campbell, and Mr.Calhoun, are in favor
of any plan that will be constitutional in its
effects, and beneficial in its operations. So
you perceive that party ties in this mailer, are
likely to exert hut little influence.
There will he some excitement, and some
angry words. The elements of discord are
at work, and ere the session closes, we will
likely have a tempest.
The election for United States Senator, it
is understood, will take place during the pre
sent session. Judge Smith and Governor
Clay, are the only individuals spoken of to
fill the station A LOOKER ON.
Message of the Governor of Virginia. —
The Legislature of Virginia convened, ir>
extra session, at Richmond, on tlie 12th inst.
The message of Governor Campbell is a
plain, brief and sensible document. It enters
into no disquisition on the causes of the gene
ral distress, but recommends to the people
“patience, industry and economy; a reliance
on themselves, and the exertion of their Stur
dy virtues,” as the best assurance of a speedy
recovery from their embarrassments, and only
sure defence against their recurrence. It dis
countenances any thing like a change in the
present bahkimf system, as too long inter
woven with the policy and course of trade, to
he uprooted with safety in Virginia ; pro
nounces tlie project of a currency exclusively
metalic utterly impracticable, and its agita
tion, at the present period, only calculated
further to derange the business of the com
munity ; and inculcates the importance of
maintaining “the credit of the Stale Banks,
ns forming under proper regulations ami re
forms, the only practical substitute for a Uni
ted States Bank,” which institution, under
the influence of the prevailing Virginia error,
is of course alluded to as an evil. The only
recommendation it contains is that ol the pas
sage of laws relieving tlie Banks from the
disabilities and penalties incurred by their
suspension of specie payments, and author
izing such suspension, for a limited |>criod.
Other matters, it prudently suggests, should
he left to Congress, soon to meet, and the
regular annual ‘meeting of the Virginia Le
gislature. —Charleston Corn ier.

letters from there. Gen. Jesup lias directed
Major Whiting at Micanopy, to send word

Indians. —We received last night a letter
from a gentleman on the Econfeiia in Wash
ington County, about sixty miles from this
place. He states that the inhabitants are all
in a fort, in hourly expectation of an attack
trorn Indians. Their houses and farms are
abandoned.—By a gentleman just from Tam
pa we are told that the Seminoles refuse to
come in, as the government is not able to
pay them in Specie for their cattle, &c. and
also on account of the measles which have
appeared among the troops. These unfore
seen embarrassments to Gen. Jesup, are
about as formidable as the snows of Russia
to Bonaparte. He has done till that zeal and

Indian Movement. —The brig Angora
from Tamp Bay last evening, brings intelli
gence from that place to the 7th inst.—The
commander at that post, notwithstanding
die strict military orders which have been
promulgated and apparently enforced, has
again been sadly deceived by die “ red
skins nearly two hundred of whom, with
Micanopy at their head having taken leave
of their guardians, the U. S. Troops, on the
3d inst.’ carrying with them nearly double
rations, (which they cunningly drew in the
morning) and all the amunilion and arms
which they were daily permitted to use for
the purpose of hunting. A party of cav
alry was despatched in search of the runa
ways, who, after travelling twenty miles
into the interior, returned without discover
ing any trace of the fuaj/tives. It is said
that Powell lias been tfie prime mover of
this operation, and if such he the fact, and
we can see no reason to doubt it, a few
more millions will be expended in an arduous
and unptofitable warfare, More these hardy
and stern sons of the forest can be induced
to abandon their old hunting grounds.

Duel. —lt is with painful feelings that we
announce the fatal termination of a duel be
tween two of our citizens, Mr. VYm. T.
Gholson and Mr. Albert Jackson, on Mon
day morning last, on the Arkansas shore of
the Mississippi. The original cause of this
lamentable result, was of a very trifling na
ture—but each feeling himself aggrieved, and
unwilling to make satilactorv concessions,
they crossed Ihe river on Monday morning
to settle the grievances by killing each other.
The scene is represented as being one of
the coolest determination—one of the least
excitement among the duellists that can per
haps he contemplated. They Avere stationed
at thirty feet distance, each holding his pis
tol by his side, standing in the natural posi
tion to fire. ‘Are you ready—fire—one, two,
three, four, five” were the words, during the
utterance of which, they were to fire. Each
raised his pistol—and “at the, word three,’
they fired simultaneously—making but one
report. Mr. Jackson dropped his pistol,
and gave an involuntary ‘witch—the hall of
his adversary having passed through his
‘.hitly, ‘jWjMi Ml’, eyes fixed
upon his adversary, lor a moment—turning
towards his surgeon, he advanced if,res or
four paces with a smile on his countenance,
his arm placed a-kimbo, (a favorite position,)
when he fell dead in his surgeon’s arms,
without speaking; his antagonist’s ball hav
ing passed through his heart.
Air. Jackson is not considered in danger,
although had the ball struck one inch nearer
the spine, it would have terminated fatally.
The parties retired, satisfied that all had
ended “most honorably”—according to the
rule of genteel murder. A gentleman present
at the unfortunate meeting, who has witness
ed many similar ones, remarked that it sur
passed all description of bravery—each de
tenriined and satified” that lie should kill his
antagonist—both having declared that tliev
should strike, the one exactly where lie did
—the other within one half of ail inch.
We have given the particulars, not be
cause the hnrrjtilc detail is pleasan! to us, nor
lo gratify public curiosity, but to correct a
thousand misstatements which we lound per
vading a mourning pulilic.
A general gloom fills our community,
though tlri measures were taken to prevent
ilie catastrophe. We even doubt the expe
diency of such a course having been taken.
Bails nor bonds wiiuld have healed the ani
mosities rankling in such liosoms.—A street
encounter would undoubtedly have been the
result, in which probably would have fallen
several of the friends of each party,
Mr. Gholson was our friend, From one
of the first fatuities in Virginia, inheriting too
deeply that tenacious love of honor so sus
ceptible of injury, and willing to give honor
able redress to others, lie has litllen in the
prime of manhood, a victim of human weak
ness. A more generous hearted, honorable
man we never knew than William T. Ghol
son.
11 ural Felicity in the I Vest. —The prairies
of Illinois are so level and free from obstruc
tions, that after turning the first furrow, the
ploughman seats himself or. his plough which
is guided by wheels, and rides for miles with
out the least trouble. It is not uncommon to
see one, lolling at his ease, reading some book,
or fiddling for his own amusement and that
of his oxen. Who would’nt be a farmer in
Illinois.
Pressure of the Times. —Mary M’Laugh

ing a mat from the door of Mr. Johnson,
Hesier-sireet, N. York. The Sim gives the
following dialogue, which we transcribe as
an unvarnished tale, depicting in graphic
colors the extent to which the misery inflict

has reached :
.Magistrate. —You have liotli been here

send you to the penitentiary for a month.
Mary. —God bless you, and sind us for six
months, and that’s as long as you can. It’s
belter to he in the penitentiary than nowhere
at all.
Magistrate. —You scent to know all I ean
do with you.
Mary. —lt’s hard if I didn’t: I have spent
many a comfortable day in the penitentiary,
and hope I shall again; for it’s better than to
be starved to death in the streets.
Magistrate. —l shall not send you for a
longer lime than I have mentioned.
Mary. —Well, praised be the Lord, there’s
more mats than one in the city.
Magistrate. —Yes, ami you’ll get in the
State prison if you don’t let them alone, and
lead a better life.
Mary.- We’re willing to get any where to
keep tie- life in us: and if we are to die, wt

THE USE OP FLOWERS.
BY MARY HOWITT.
Got! might have bade the earth bring forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak tree and the cedar tree,
Without a flower at all.
lie might have made enough, enough
For every want of ours—
For luxury, medicine, and toil,
-Anri yet have made no flowers.
The orv within the mountain mine
Ilcquireth none to grow,
Nor does it need the lotus flower
To make the river flow.
Tin* clouds might give abundant rain,
The nightly dews might fall,
And the herb that keepeth life in man
Might yet have drank them a!!.
Then wherefore, wherefore were they made
All dyed in rain-how light;
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Upspringing day and night:
Springing in vallies, preen and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness,
Where no mail passes by ?
Our outward life requires them not—
Then wherefore have they birth !
To minister delight to man,*
To beautify the earth ;
To comfi rt man—to whisper hope,
Whene’er his faith is dim;
For whoso careth for the flowers.
Will much more care for Him!
