botne the mim) of the writer. The stupendous
hoax of the Charleston Hanks,
together with the ]h\>bab!e want of a place
of deposit for the capital of the I". S.
Hank, led to a communication with a friend
^ io ( harieston, of which the following are
f.i hful extracts.
detracts of a letter addressed to a Gentleman
in Charleston, Aug. 9. Is 35.

"However, mv last will have anticipated
vo ir question as to a new Hank; and espe- *
w iailv, confirmed as you will have hceu by ,
the cofinnunicptions which I made to you.
in June. * * * * *. Hence, I thought
it would be iu the Charleston Hank, hanked
by the people, the in gens mutii'ndo I
mean,and with their united capital, to anticipate
the application (for a duplication
<?f capita!) to the Legislature, of those
who had nullified every principle of financial
h<uiustv and commercial faith; and
*h%i< to establish an institution of their
o-Aii. Therefore to your proposition, 1 :
ran only say "conteut," ami add that;
"* * * thinks with rnc?that * * *, cum j
mnltisaliis14mnjort ?" well as "uiinorts" in !
this quarter, will, I am fully convinced,
t, unite in a subscription, * * *
I luive thought much as to the modus
ojteitmtH, and cannot now for fear adding,
that as Banks have of late l>eon let- !
Hred in great numbers, I fully believe it
would he well if a new Bank was grafted i
in an old one?if, at least, such a one j
could be found. I was also led to think (
that, if as I believe was done in Connecticut^
in fact, tho' not in form, the Hail
Road Company was given Banking Privileges,
a very desirable end would be ob- j
^ t.lined?the consideration of the amended i
charter to be, not a Bonus to the Treasury,
hut a condition tendered to the Company;
that they should complete a portion
say one fifth a two-fifths, and. furnish the
surveys of certain Bail Roads.
* * * * *
As to bridges, to ensure their being con?tru
ted in the best manner, a claim might
be made on the General Government for
? ?l . r..?
meir rrnuun, on use roiniitniu, iimi hmover
after the Mails should be carried free .
ot expense, save thai of the conductor who
had them in charge. The relief the con)- !
pierce and correspondence of the countrv j
would thus receive, would he ns great as
it will be beneficial to the wealthy* bene- j
iiccnt to the poorer order, and useful to ,
the literary classes of the community.

The charter, on the plan I have suggested];
would be extensive; but, its influence
and credit, to whatever amount '
the subcriptions might he carried, would |
be correspondent. Indeed, they would
be such, as, provided the proprietors of
the old U. S. Hank would unite with the
people generally, to command a charter
?the shares to be $20 each, and five per
cent to he paid at the time of subscription
and whether it be possible or not, to attach
Banking privileges to the Hail lloadCom T
o the investment of the Savannah and MaconRtilRood
Company with Banking privileges,

pany, the power to control legislative opin
ion v. odd be equally correspondent; or,1
: as the New York and Ohio Life and Trust .
Companies have done so well it is possi- i
! bio their pi maples may be advantageously ;
superadded; or, ever* the principle oflnsu- j
ranee of property from loss by lire, if not i
! in the N. York k Ohio companies, may :
; be usefully joined. Hence, to sanction the
idea that $20 shares are too small, I would
merely observe, that the Kentuekians have
(or had) a $5 share Bank, the price of
which is, (has been,) at Philadelphia,;
1 sometimes as high as $7. Thus, bv!
o w * ]
I means of our Banks, should we attract
the capital of the North to relieve the
heavy interest of the South, and enable '
ourselves to proceed iu the. path of itnprovement
as rapidly as do our sister i
states. 1 throw out these hints with hut
a superficial view of these institutions?
none, except what I obtain from the Pri
res current. A little enquiry on ttie spot,
will speedily determine whether these ,
principles can ho Hdopted; hut on whatever
jd in a Bank is to he founded 1 should I
hope, the subscription of (New York,;
Philadelphia and Baltimore" (ieorgin and
North C arolina will he received. Much
disappointment was experienced at Augusta
on the subject (of the result) of the
Charleston Bank.
* ? * s
To conclude with a word as t<> the pro- '
posed mode of subscribing tu tiie Bank?
before instead o \ after the Grant of the Char'At.
Commence jt on the 1st October and ;
continue it to the 1st December, nearly two
months will be given in every district of the
State, and I would repeat my hope through- j
out (loorgin and X.Carolina, as well as
New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. In ;
litis case, there would not exist the possibility
of a complaint, that full publicity bad j
: not been given to the transaction or that1
time and opportunity had not been afforded {
to the people for subscription. It might dis- j
appoint, though I have no idea it would.!

great La; ita:;s;s; ?m, in it us ease it won u ;
take and the attention it would pay to their
i.'ss weahiiv brethren, and cspccialiv the '
interot it would create in behalf of the widow
an] orphan, there would be added aj'
mora! beauty to the transaction, that would j,
give the Institution a commanding influence ' '
,?more especially, if its benefits could be'
spread over the neighbouring States : thus,
emphatically making it nor the Bank of .South
Carolina, but the Bunk of the South, uniting
at one ami the same time their feelings and
their interests and perhaps annihilating lor- ,
ever, that ridiculous notion that those feel- j
ings should not accord and tlio.se interests . .
should not be connected.
I-'mi* ili:' :n!< ititi??n fi!'l!i(! ol. in here sketched
* 1 ? i , . j
the time has passed; hut the principle may
be readily applied to the interests off Joorge- j
town and the Pec Dees. To say what j
will he the exact amount of the Capital of ,
the Hank, wiil be unnecessun; but, for a
suction of country, as are its lower and mid- J j
die districts, and so populous and confornii- \
dably endowed as arc its own upper por-; j
lions and those of Xorth Corolina, it is not
unreasonable to suppose an actual subscrip.
tion may be obtained from respectable and ^
responsible, however humble individuals, for
a definite Capital of 82,000,000. v
For the sake of round numbers, we will
sate the distance of country, over which the '
Rail Road is to run, to be 100 miles. These r
at-$0000 per mile, would be 8000,000. As
to the interest the Road would pay, it is on- ,
iy necessary to say that 23000 bales of Cotton
were shipped Inst year. With the im- |
provement of the Road it is probable thes" j,
23000 would become30,000; which at ado! r f
lar per bale would be 830,000; so that with j
the same amount added for back freight, the
Rail Road would produce 8100.000?but as a
boats would still continue to pass down the
river, the amount would have to he reduced .
- 11
to 830,000, or an interest at 3 per cent, on
$1,000,000 sufficient to $10,000 per mile i
tl?r the TOO miles. Rut. ncrhans there arc :

The chair then rose, and was proceeding bo

The Speaker here appeared and resumed j
the Chair when j
Mr. Sutherland reported that while in |
Committee of the whole House, Mr. Will- j1S
iams of Kentucky, a member of the Com-!
rnittuc of the wliole House, addressed the ! W|
Chairman whilst he was counting the mernhers
for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-' a I
lt a quorum was present, and was called to j ?di
order hy the Chairman and requested to ; ou
take his seat; this he positively anil repeat- ^
wily refused to do, and called the Chairman hi
- order, ar.d demanded of him to take his ! he
nt. And .Mr. Williams persisting in liis | <
fus.-ii to submit to the authority of the ' I
inir, the (Jeairman- left the chair, and now |
ports the facts which had induced the |
mmittoc to rise, to the Speaker, and thro'
n to the House.
The Speaker decided the gentleman from '
mtueky to he out of order.
Mr. Adams moved that the House ad. 1
urn: lost, without a count.
Mr. Vinton then, by consent, moved that
ion the House adjourn, it adjourn to meet ;
. Monday morning at 8 o'clock; which '
ts agreed to. 1
Mr. Williams then rose and said that, like I
her men he was somewhat impulsive u hen |
fbuiul liis rights trampled upon; but he :
shed the House distinctly to understand
at what lie had done was not out of con- ;
nipt or disrespect to the House. The
st was that, but a few* moments before, lie
d called for a division ofthc question, and '
e individual occupying the chair had re- 1
sed to listen to his motion, lie himself I
d passed it over then, though one of his
lleagues had come to him and endeavor- 1
to dissuade him from doing so. On what I
considered a rcpitition of the insult, he
lied the Chair to order. He would now |
ite distinctly, that ho intended no disres- .
et to the House,hut he did intend to of- ]
: an indignilv to the man who occupied <

Mr. Sutherland: After what has fallen j1
nn the member, I wiil not take the Chair. 1 1
Mr. Kverctt moved that the House ad-.1'
irn; lost without a division. j I
The Speaker said the Chair had hoped j
it, on the temporary rising of the -com- j 1
ttee, this question would have been set- |
d without any difficulty, and he still hoped (
. It was a novel case, and it was for j
1 House, under the circumstances, to
vc its own course. He again requested j
2 chairman to resume the chair. .
Mr. Sutherland said he must decline.
After much discussion, the House resol- i
J. on motion of-Mr. Pearcc, of .Maryland, i
tli oniy three dissenting voices?"That
; member from Kentucky, MY. Williams,
ving refused to take his seat, when orred
so to do by the Chairman of trie whole
juse: having ordered the Ohaairmnn to

the Chair and the i fouse, has committed

and business went on harmoniously 1

It seems to bo the prevailing opinion ]111
hat the difficulty with the Indians will j

jallant army now in the field, or a large cr
lortion of it, will be discharged. We sin- st

ofpcr.ce, and the discharge of our 1 ?'
riends from an arduous service, yet we
ire wholly unable to conjecture at what
ime either event will take place, consisent
with the interest of all parties concernd.
The hostile* have beenwwed iataleifl- J

n eye upon such an event. Indians to | a ,
ay the most for them, whether pretend- foi
d friends or real foes, are very uncer- an
lin iu their movements, and cannot be
mtched with too much caution. da
On Saturday last, about twelve hundred of
f these deluded beings, including some ; th
our hundred warriors, who have surren- j pa
Icrcd or been taken prisoners, left Fort j sk
ditchell for Arkansas, many of them in ; lo:
hains, and all guarded by a detachment : ki
if United States soldiers. They will go ar
>y land to Montgomery where they will wl
akc shipping for their destined homes.? is
Previous to their departure, several of lo
hem, who were known to have committed T
ligh crimes against the state of Georgia, of
vcre demanded hy Gov. Schley, and are in
iow in the jail of this county. Among
hem we recognize the notorious Dave
lardrcdge, who was at the head of Roan>ke,
and is said to have planned and led q
he expedition against that place. ^
The report that the Indians in consider- j
ible body have been murdered several u{
amilies in the county of Raker, we are tfj
lorry to say, has been confirmed. By a
gentleman residing in Lee, near the scene
)f these outrages, wc have been informed
ui
hat thirteen persons have been killed and ^
hrec others badlv wounded, names not oj
row recollected. The Indians are cvilontly
endeavoring to escape to Florida, 0j
here to join the Seminolcs. Col. Real, cc
vith his gallant detachment, have pushed j ja<
n hot pursuit of them, and brought them [
o a halt in the extensive swamps of ttie Up
^hiceesawhatchcc creek,aftcrkilling nine et
?r ten in an engagement before they took a (
shelter in the swamp ec:
An express arrived from Col. Beall for w
issistance to drive the Indians Irom their et
msition, his present command being too a
small to force them from the thickets and q
irevent their escape. The battalion of a
Volunteers from this city, composed of ^
he Artillery, Guards, and Cadet Riflemen
lave been ordered to march forthwith and
eft hero on yesterday to reinforce Col.
Beall.
