We extract following from the pro-1 ceedings: Josiah Sibley, esq., submitted the follow- j inc. which was unanimously adopted: The. stockholders of the Savannah River j Valley Kailroad, in view of the important! interests which are involved in the construe-1 tion of their road; are anxious to prouere I the co-operation of the city of Augusta, without whose aid this great work must b? i indefinitely postponed, ii* not abandoned.

Their charter does not permit ' them to cross the river, and moreover such ! an extension of their road into Augusta | would involve a heavy expense in procuring j a site on the bank of the river; they pro- i pose, at their own expense, to build and ; keep in repair a substantial brid^; from their i depot in Hamburg over the Savannah Kiv-! or ninl to 1rw>ntn cnirl Krwlirn nf ' - " between the Augusta Bridge and Campbell | street (opposite to what is known as the) Water Proof Warehouse in Hamburg) that I may bo designated by the eity of Augusta i ?the bridge to be free.

The stockholders will met | again in Hamburg, on Wednesday, tho. 24th of January next. We also require the city of Augusta to give us a landing for our bridge free of charge. On motion of Joseph Ahno)*, esq., the following resolutions were adopted. 1. Rcsolvril. That. \v? rerlnlthln our cvpr- ! tions to build the Savannah River Valley Railroad. 2.

South Carolina Banks.?'VV.el have hchrd with surprise that, an effort has been made ill the interior of Georgia to dj?credit the circulation of the Banks- of this i Slate, on the assumption that a few, (a very few,) failures of merchants hero had endangered their solvency. Tho object appears to havq been to drive out of circulation the j notes of South Carolina Banks, in order I that the void might be filled by certain irre- ] sponsible concerns, whose untrustwoithi-| ness has been repeatedly alluded to in the I Augusta papers. I'elbre the farmers and planters of CJeor-i gin allow themselves to. in) victimized by j such tricks, they ought, to consider well these two important tacts: 1st, no Dank in South Carolina has ever become bankrupt; 2d, every Hank in the State is under tlie restriction, that the Stockholder are liable to the public for double the par value of their stock in case of its failure, and this liability continues for twelve months after the trailsr...

The following is l?is account of the circumstances: j "The last drawing of tins Southern Mili- , tarv Academy Lottery has created a pro-1 loim<l sensation among the colored popula tion here.
