From bankruptcy. [low humiliating must
this be to the Great Regulator! In our
own country, we have seen a United
States Bank on the very verge of hank

convulsion which shook the commercial
world. Still, we have politicians who
wish to fix a mammoth institution of this
character, upon ns forever; an institution,
mighty for evil, bu: powerless for good!

INQUIRIES IN A CA SE OF BANKRUPT
CY.
Circumstances and events have placed the
nctions of my life in a different and moore ardu
tins aspect thtan many or my fellow beings.
Feeling that man was intended to labor. not
only fur his stubsistence and clothing, but should
dltsclose those naturalgifts which are calculated
to promote the happiness and wvelfare of man
1kind, by improving the works w~hichm nature has
marked out for our hands, and not to impose
om outr fellow beintg becausqe he happens to be
gitied with less intellect and wtealthm than our
selves. I feel content with the part I have act
ed in this respect.
To give a short history- of the past, and my
intended course in future, ca harm no one, but
may result itt benefittintg many.Thmat the course
.of amy pursuits has tetnded nmore to the public
good than may own aggranadizemnent. will r.ot
bte denied. I do not intend to please thme read
er with romantic ancdotes anmd novelties. I
am a laboring man, and shall content mnyself by
givmng the dictates of commmon sense My fatte
in the intercourse with mankind hmas been rath
er a hard one, butt I have borne it with tmnly
fortitnde. I claim n sympaty, nor do I desire
any thing which belongs to tmy fellow man, for
may experience and industry wrill at all times in
sure tme a full competency wherever I atn
placed.
I date my arrival at Autgusta, Gen., in 1800i,
and continued there until 1821. I commenced
my' career as a common boatman ott the Sa
v'annahm river during which titne, my conduct
and perseverance enabled me gradually to rise
to wealth and fame, having been engaged in
severaml nagniftent enterprizes-the bridge a
cross the Sayannah river, the wvharf at A ugus
ta,Geo., the Bridge Company's Banking house,
besidez many other valuable buildings.
It is to me that Auigusta, owes the main pub
lhe enterprizes shte boasts ; monuments not less
of my toil than of her injustice. By thme acts
of those who speculate i'n false promises to pay ;
by changers and hueksters of' money, my hon
est atnd laborious gains were snateched from
my hands, I was stripped not only of my hard
earnings, but of my last and dearest possession;
mny good name, tmy all; I was cast otut, stigtna
tized and a broken man, to seek a refuge in
another State, at the time when mnost zenmons
ly engaged itn conducting the aflimirs of the
steambhoat Company on thme Savanniah river,
between the cities of Savannah and Augusta,
Geo., a busitness of importance to both citiee,
and I am htappy to say, resulted in a mhost sin
gulair success.
Did my oppressors stop here 1 No. I was
putrsuotl into another State cast fran dtungeon
to dungeon, and was finally compelled to say,
rupt. Th'is odiun ought to be a severo stroke,
even to him who could charge hiinself with
some guilt of negligence or want of caution,
but to him who stands guiltless in every respect.
to him it is a wound which cannot he healed
by repentance, it must be by payment in truth.
If a man is unable to meet his engagements,
there must be a cause. either by his own acts,
or the dispensation of Providence. Let us ex
amine the cause in quetiofn.
Was I tempted into wild cotton speculations.
or any thing else of a like nature; were my
expectations overwhelmed by the waves of the
ocean? I would answer no; neither was my
all consumed by tie flames of the devouring
element, nor did I place my earnings upon the
wheel of fortune, or lose them at the gaming
table, nor through any other specirs of dissi
pation. Have nmy various great undertakings
proved unsuccessful, and their failure involved
my ruin ?-No.
My wharf at Augusta, Geo., I sold in 1819,
for $50,000, cash, and I am warranted in say
ing, that it has paid a yearly dividend of 8 per
cent. clear of all expenses ever since. My
bridge was built in 1S13, and 1814. and cost
$73,000, and according tojthe best proof I have,
it has paid for itself, principle, interest, and
expenses every six years since that time: My
town, the real estate of which was valued in
June, 1821, by the Court of Equity at $7,000.
and a piece of land adjoining, over which it at
present extends, was sold a short time previous
for $1,500, making its value $8.500. at that
time. According to the assessment made utn
der the order of Council for the present year,
its real estate is now valued at $35,000. The
Bank, a charter for which was granted by the
Legislature of South Carolina, in 183.5, at my
instance, with others, and established under my
superintendance in 1836, has been. in a most
successful operation from that period to the
present, which at the last semi-annual settle
ment of its regular businiess, with the premium
ott the increase of .$200,000 to its capital stock,
paid to the stockholders a dividend of 21 per
cent.
In this investigation, we have as yet found
nothing indicating insolvency, either by the
hands of Providence,or by myself.We will pro
ceed n- ith the cause in our next investigation.

nearly 200 miles from any other with only
a guard of 28 men. The ,nhumau at

(OENERAL scOTT's RETURN FROMl THE IN
DIAN BORDER.
Last evening, imnportant despatches
were received frotm General Scot;, by Mr.
Poinsett, Secretary of War, now 'mojourn
ing at the Waverly House, Broadway.
These despatches convey to the Secretary
tli news of the entire success of thie Ge
neral's rniasihon to the Wisconsin Territory,
on the Mlississippi, whlere he undertook to
pacify certain hostile demonstrations made
against the U. States.
It seems that one of the tribes of these
Indians, who evacuated a portion of that
territory, by a late aeaty, and had gonme
beyond the Mlississippi, had( retraced thmeir
steps in snmall squads, and were taking
inroads on the grounds beho. gingf to the
citizens of the United States. This spirit
of hostility on the Iudian. border had Iro
ken out als in several skirmishes among
the Sioux, Menonmies and other Indians;
aind, on one occasion, about 100 fell a prey
to these war-like incusionts. The miassion
of General Scott was prinacipIally d ire'eted
tothe seutlenment ofthte differences between
our own ditizens and one of the tribes wvho
had begun to violate a trea:y-amnd in- this
mission thme General has been eminently
successful.
