Banking in Georgia and Alubama—Singular Move- ments. Dean Bennetr— Having just arrived from a long trip through Georgia and Alabama, and believing that the situ- ation of the two States is not understood, | think it the duty of every business man to try and cor- rectthe abuses that exist in both States, by pub- lishing tothe country the peculiar position they are both an, and how the can be corrected. In Georgia,J the Banks, in (he eastern part of the State, including Savannah, resumed specie pay! ments early in antumn; at the same time the merchants refused to receive any bank notes that were not convertible, in the equivalent to coin, at par. The effeot was to introduce into circulation agood, convertible currency, and the planters sold their cotton they received in payment not: that enabled the eountry merchant to make his payments without loss in exchange. This course has been strietly adhered to at Augusta and Savan- nah. In Macon, the second interior cotton mar- ket, they attempted to do the same thing. The Commercial Bank and the Ocmulgee paid out their notes to the cotton buyers, believing the merchaats would repudiate the unsound currency ; fora few days it an «wered ; but the business of the place being in the hands, with few exceptions, of men who pay no attention to contracts, it was not carried out, aud they are now palming off, in payment of debt, the notes of banks that do not redeem them, and are at a discount of 10 to 15 percent. As you go west, aud reach Columbus, the con- dition of the merchants, suffering under a depre- ciated currency, is truly lamentable, and when you are informed tate of things is produced by three or four individuals, and the leading men i the tewn, you will be surprised. The difliculty lies in a nut shell, and the evil will soon cure itself: it was produced by the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank, or, I should say, by General McDougal, the President, a very excellent and worthy man.— Some five years since, when land buying com- menced in Alabama, many of the citizens of Columbus were engaged in it, and the General became a large purchaser, to the amount of some one handred and fifty thousand dollars, at the same time, and has continued, to the last season, to oper- ate largely in cotton. These operations were onso large a scale that he soon required a bank, and was placed at the head of the Planters’ and M:- Up to last year he succeeded in keeping ge landed property in Alaba- je, and the reslama‘ions jn cot- id themselves, and the funds of the bank being ex! id, he retired from the Presidency, owing the bank one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Mr. Banks succeeded him, a very good appoint- ment, but he found the assets so unavailable that he could not get the bank in a situation that ap- peared satisfactory, and resigned. General Wat- son was Sproiares in his place ; he is of the MeDou- al school, and owes the bank sixty thousand dol- This debt was created under McDougal’s ad- ration se operators have forced upon the commu- he bills of this bank upwards oftwo hundred d dollars, and up to a late period, with the ee of the Bank of Celumbus, have induced the people to receive them as govd funds. ‘T’ could not have been done excepting with thi sistance of the Bank of Columbus, who, on these notes, resumed specie payments in October; but, having a large amount on deposit, and not being able to borrow money (rom any quarter, exeepting the notes of the broken bank ‘ (Planters’ and, Me- chanics’,) they commenced at a late date receiving them and paying them out, and the poor depositors, who deposited good money in Uctober, are com- pelled to receive, in January, a currency deprecia- ted thirty per cent. Many meetings have been called; and, on Satur day, an attempt was to be made to tear the building down. The course the Bank of Columbus pursues cannot be tolerated; it arises from inability, not having available means; and they should be imme- i dation with their coleagne McDougal is now President of the Imsurance Bank, lately purchased from the Bank of the United States; the purchase was made by Dr. Collins, of Macon. He sold the bank to McDougal for sixty profit. Fortunately forthe com- munity, the directors of the bank, hearing it was going out of their hands, destroyed all the bills; and when the purchasers came in possession, they found they woud have to make a new issue; and as McDougal’s name was valuable at the Plan- ters’ and Mechanics’, he, like a prudent general, has mot ret entered the field, is holding bim- self up for a coup de main. ‘The destroying the bi ite unfortunate for Coll s McDougal 0 pay him the amount originally fixed, the contract included assets, and particularly the cireul notes, which, under the former admin- istration, stood well, having always been paid in specie on preseniation; and he would have had but little diffieulty in getting them in circulation, by this means giving him some means to operate. The other Bank in Columbus is the Phoenix, a vamped oP concern, under a new name, without capital. Its circulation is small, and principally a checks, repre: ing on the face, being da- ted Iola, Florida, and payable at Phoenix in currency, which The h k lanters’ and Mechanics”. dof the bank is a dealer from Milledgeville, The sound Bank of Columbus is the Insurance and Trast Company, Mr. Cooper, President, lately elected member of Congress.

Fair—Politieal Caucus, §c.—Resumplion of the Jersey Banks. Dear S Our town, famed for its tameness and monotony, is now being distracted by the most powerful of the elements—beside the repeated shocks of carth- quakes, the great convulsors of the physical world. Party politics, and the influence of woman, the violent agitators of civil society, are compelling peaceful Trenton to yield up her serenity, and tumble beneath their omnipotent, calm-destroying energies, Last night, there were assembled at the Episco- pal Fair, a heterogeneous multitude, of divers casts and character, from the fairest ef the Al- mighty’s creation to Afric’s sons of ebony. There were scen the loveliest of the lovely beaming upon the nice young men (with soaplocks dangling so gracefully down) smiles so fascinating and over- powering, that even Calypso, had she been there, with all her insinuating arts, would have been ¢om- pelled to yield up the ghost, and cry out “enough.” The stubborness of the rugged gender yielded at discretion—the green, the timid, the ripe teterane, and they that were wont to cling fast the golden purse— all with one consent simultaneously shelled forth the yellow charms, as thick as rattling hail- stones before the driving winds. At one corner of the hall, stood the incumbent of the post-office, at- tracting with her fascinating countenance, and epistles for the anxious lovers and trembling hus. bands, who, Cincinnatus like, were compelied to leave their ploughs, their wives and sweethearts, for the preservation of the State. In another corner you might behold terrible exhibitions, and more terrible lottery shops. Aloof from the crowd, were the sons of Epicurus, gulping down oysters, chick- ensalad, gingerbread, &c. Lovers with stately siep were promenading the hall, with looks inter- “Don’t you wish that you were we?” Here and there were clustered groups of loud langhing, game-making, withered up bachelors, and envious disappointed suitors. Another section of the room as monopolized by vigilant matrens and calm, fate-resigned spinsters. Occasionally, a y widower would be seen tripping tiptoe htly over the floor, probably with a cluster of roses in his bosom, emblematical of love, with looks insinuating, ‘(I am so young.” Here and there might be seen a solitary, wandering, character- studying looker-on in Vienna. A dreadful discord of sounds was the natural consequence, but far e all was heard the melodious tones of the pjano d with bird-like warblings. evening, at another quarter of onr town, was presented a scene far different from the one just described. At Mr. H’s hotel were assembled in secret caucus the Solons and Lyeur- guses of the State, meditating and planning deeply, and reasoning together upon the renowned specie paying bank bill, The object of the caucus was to draft a compromise billto harmonise the sectional i id inter@sts of East West Jersey, in relation to the banks of West Jersey resuming specie pay- It was a pure, true whig caucus, harmoni- politics, but clashing in interests. The lions of East and West ey were there in warm de- bate on the interests of their darling constituents. I fancied that I could perceive in that grave and dignified body a striking resemblance to the im- mortal heroes of Homer—from the owl like gravity that at first reigned over their mighty deliberations, one would think that each one bore, not an Atlas, buta New Jersey upon his ponddrous shoulders. A venerable son of Ceres sat with becoming dignity in the chair of this momentous council, as imperi- ous, almost, as Jove himself. Oue A. W. officiated in the double capacity ef secretary and orator, and manifested a zeal that will never be forgotten by his remotest posterity. His ambition exploded in a rocket of eloquence, as it was wont to do in our legislative hall. The hotel resounded with his percussion upon his desk, ‘for he beat with his fist instead of a stick.” A Mr. H, formerly of your State, presented for the consideration of the mect- ing a glorious compromise bill, giving the banks till the 4th of July next the privilege of suspen- sion, and thenceforth to redeem all their bills under the sum of $2, and till October next ere they re- deem their bills above that sum. No sooner had the bill been submitted, than was the fiery indign fury of a whirlwind, shivered it to the four quarters. In the meantime a certain Loe, Ora ee Colonel, well as an Achillesfin battle, and renowned f rhis compromising and conciliatory virtues, with the bound of a stag, rescued a few of the forlorn fragments, and engrafted them as it were judi compromise bil which he had rifice of much midnight oil, and majestyfof mien, made a solemn, soul-stirring appeal ‘te his highly honorable fel- low represen upon its intrinsic merits, and in the mean time reminding them ef the blood of our illustrious fathers of the glorious revolution, and the battles that tried men’s souls,—namely. Bunker’s-hill, Princeton, and Trenton. Mr. H’y, fired with the love of liberty, then gathered up the remains of his lacerated bill, and committed them to the devouring flames, and ejaculating with stentorian energy—‘‘ If Rome must fall I am inno- cent.” Mr. J , the honied friend of the people, the: presented the skeleton of a bill, stating that he wished those dry bones to be clothed with fat and filled with marrow at some future meeting. A hard- handed, honest-hearted yeoman from Burlington County then arose with eyes fixed upon the floor,jas Ulysses of old, and fudanguage of thunder, foretold, as it were with gift of prophecy, the ominous fate of New-Jersey, in case East Jersey did not knock under. He invoked the monitory voice of the past, and drew a nice parallel between Grece, Rome and Carthaze, just before their fall, and now de- generate New-Jersey ; and after uttering a few sharp werds concerning the spurned broad seal, jown overcome with fe The fierce battle of wor ed warmer and warmer, An honest worker in earth, known to the scientific by Silicious Selax, from the county of Gloucester, arose, and as firm as an Ajax, and as swiltas a Woodcock, blew up E. Jersey fag for bis little body lodged a mighty mind. Din was the confusien of council, and discordant were the views of the mighty. Thecouncil dissolved sans ceremonie. The concilitory Colonel led the van, as it were from battle, and fled like a hurricane in rage and disgust.

Business—Politics— Religion. Frienp Bexnett— The weather here is most delightful at this time, and our belles are enjoying promenades in Main street equally with yours in Broadwa: Inthe way of business we are doing nothing.— We have so long been ia the habit of receiving Obio and Canada bank bills for money, that now, when deprived of them, on account of their high rate of discount, we are literally without a circulating medium. Our shippers and grocers, as a general thing, do nothing in the winter. Ocr retailers of dry goods have been cut short by the failures of the banks, and therefore have failed themselves — ‘There are not half a dozen dry goods dealer in the city that have not failed since making their last fall purchases. Many of them, who have made as- signme.its aud been preparing fer the first of Fe- bruary, are thrown ‘‘ail aback,” by the late news from Washington. respecting the repeal of the Bankrupt Law. What the poor devils will do, if that law is repealed, Heaven only knows ! In politics we are as dull as in business. Our friend and favorite General Barker, is trying hard for the office of Attorney General for the State.— His friends arc determined to push him through, but it will be a no-go, in spite of them. In religion we have no excitement. The Odd Fellows are doing all there is done in that way.— One of our ministers lately united with ths city lodge, but the old women in his church kicked up such a bobbery about it, that he was obliged to withdraw. Our fashionable as off with qaite though not as be: no way inferior in ‘‘ gracesand accom; lishments.” Would that I could my as mueh for the geuts.— We have some as fine fellows here as any city can boast of ; but most of them, I am sorry to say, are absolutely intolerable, and their conduct towards the ladies and in company generally, is “ shock- ing—positively shocking.” Dry goods clerks, bank clerks and lawyers,clerks, who can beg, borrow or steal five dollars, are admitted indiscriminately, and the consequences are fights and bloody noses atevery pore: Of parties we have fewer than common and those given mostly by those who can’t paf their servants, much less their tailors. When a man gets pretty hard drove, and it is ramored about that the sheriff is likely to take his business out of his hands—his wife brushes up and gives a party. The cham ne and oysters circulate freely among his is thrown away that rightly belongs to his creditors—half of them per haps so poor that they can’t get food sufficient for their families—the man is set right in the commu- nity ; his wife becomes fashionable, and all’s wel! again.

So far this year our receipts of cotton have far exceeded those of last—last year we had something like a demand for the staple, but this year, owing to the low rates at which manufacturers are com- pelled to li their agents, and to the fallacious idea entertained by planters, that on account of the short crops, cotton must go up, as they say, to 125 cents these, and monetary causes, have reduced business to such a low ebb, that I candidly believe our merchants are scarcely making their salt. One cause of cotton keeping up so, is the enormous rates at which exchange is ruling on all points; even on New Orleans it is commanding 11 per cent pre- mium. New York (sight) is selling at 20 per cent; 40 day bills at 17418 per cent premium, on Boston at about the same rates, Sterling is worth 22a23 per cent prem. A short time back you men- tiened a transaction jn sterling exchange by one of our banks, to the extent of about $400,000—it scarcely was known to our merchants until read in your paper. Exchanges are so fluctuating, that no accuracy ean be had in quotations. Ailthe past week the rates, before the arrival of the northern mail, could not be taken as a fair criterion for the balance of the day. One reasen that helps to keep up this state ‘ef things, is the large amount of Alabama moncy in the shape of certificates of deposit in the northern markets, and the precipitancy with which it has of late been foresd eff'in your market, and sent on here with orders to be invested in sterling ex- change. Now the more exchange rises, the higher cotton goes ; still, although the planter reaps the benefit of the rise on his cotton, he will travel all over town to inquire the price of an article, even if it is but a few dollars worth he wants, so as to he does not pay the exchange on the article he purchases. You may take any article you please —take, for instance, a northern one—and | will defy a merchant to make a sale of it to a planter (who are our only customers) if to the cost of the article he adds the exchange. From this very act you will at once perceive the impossibilfty of our mercoants paying for the goods they bought in the north the past seavon, and it is generally allowed their purchases were pretty ex- tensive. A man may be ever so willing to pay his debts, but the! no business in existence that will warrant a cftwenty per cent. The present rates at which exehange is ruling, I look upon as a good and sufficient reason, if our are not able to discharge their northern Your banks, by loaning on Alabama certificates of deposit, would render some relief by keeping those certificates out of market; but the only sure means of our (and the balance of the country’s) getting along, will be for your banks to suspend, Pa any sooner the better, as I think they will eventually be forced to it. _ You don’t say if your banks are ina condition to continue specie paying ; the fact of their suspend- ing, 80 as to relieve the south and west 1 not injure their standing any—Will it? Things not only here, but also in most of the large towns, south and west, are in such a state tiat debturs cannot pay their creditors; and the only way to get along, will be for both to pull at the same end of the rope—the creditor to help and encourage the debtor, and vice versa. . You may think the suspension of your banks a very bad argument—[so we do]—but [see no other resource, for it is certain our own banks never will pay specie; and rather than the rahe should undertake toforce them (which | think will be done unless things take a turn for the better very shorily) J, for one, would prefer the suspension of your banks. [No doubt of it.) The p getting, average, 8} ¢ for their cotton. Their provisions cost them—Bacon about 3a3} cts. round; mess pork, $6 50287; mess b-ef $4u4 50; flour, $5 62," tg are in fact getting the above articles for less than they cost in New Orleans, letting alone the freight and expenses from there here. One of your eastern correspondents, some time back, was mal inquiries about the steamboat M. Y. Be ing where she was, what, I do For your information, know ¥. Beach and the Mon- e not exactly recollect then that the steamboat M. mouth (the cognomen under which she arrived here two days back) are one andthe same. She is now called the Monmouth, and has been 22 days getting here from New York. She broke her shaft when one day out from Tampa Bay, and has been worked from there by hand. i ‘ The United States mail boat, carrying the mail from here te Stockton, was run into @n Saturday, sothat I think it doubtful whether the last two days’ mail have yet left Mobile, or if left, have ar- rived at Stoekion in time te continue North. This morning, however, being on the wharf, I saw the great Northern mail thrown ashore from a couple of row boats, in which it had been tr: orted from Stockton, and J conclude that the mail bags from here North will be transported by the same conveyance fora shorttime. Hereis a transaction for the Postmaster General to look at!—the United States mail carried in row boats for thifty miles because the contractor has not anether boat to put in the place of the one run into. The mails be- tween this and New Orleans have lately been ir- regular, owing te one of the boats (the Creole) be- i re for the past week, and | believe is now me situation It is useless to tell you of the great circulation your paper has here, for your subseription list tells the necessary tale. Mobile never looked duller than it does now,and the Northern mail is every day looked for with great anxiety by every one. Your monetary articles and quotations of exchange are looked up to with a great deal of confidence, and as long as you pursue you present course yeur paper will always be read with the same avidity it now is—none the less fur what interested parties may say tothe contrary. T had almost forgot to mention one cause, and the principal one, of the low price of produce in this market. It. New Orleans, there being no demand whatever, the prineipal merchants (Western) of that city have been forcing on this market all pro- duce they could lay their hands upen; they ave kept their heads above water there ax long as pos- sible, and one great help to them for atime was the Mobile market; now, however, they have been forced to suspend, (as you will have heard from some of your correspondents in that city) having borrowed from the banks as long as they possibly could. The fact of their stoppage will at once be- come apparent, and as less produce will be forced on this market merchants look forward with a little more confidence for the balance of the business season.

Dear Bennerr :— Your correspondents in;this place must be sleepy dogs, about these days, if we are to judge of their lucubrations, by your columns, It cannot be from want of subjects, for novelty after novelty has taken place without the least notice from them — But permit me toenrol my humble name amongst your racy contributors, whether my productions deserve it or not, Last Thursday and Friday evenings Mr. Bra- han gave two concerts this city—the first Jone was to a $200 house at 50 cents a head, and the se- cond one to a $100 house at the same price. T' shows the opinion of the Hartforders of Mr. B.'s singing by the side of Russell or Seguin; both of whom are great favorites in this city. All who heard Mr. B., however, acknowledge that he is the most correet singer by rule, and has the; most powerful voice ever heard in this city, if we except the “still small voice” of conscience of those who have cheated the mechanic, and widow, Price Two Cents and maidens of their hard earned wages. Query.— Did these conscience-smitten, beings suspend for “the good of the public,” as do the Southern and Western Banks. Our Hartford and Springfield Railroad d heavily—I mean the stoek for said road. But we don't despair, Old Hartford has done nobly; she has taken over $110,000 of the 000 and will probably increase it to $150, New Haven and Springfield about the same as Harttord, both put together If several of the Bostonians would now redeem their pledge te take up what stock is left after Hartford had taken $100, , in less than four weeks we should have a brigade of Irishmen shovelling dirt ata great rate. But had not the in. dependent Herald punched up eur most public spirited capit 8, under the “Beth rib” uptal they - cried “peccavi’’ who have taken hold of thie great work for Hartford, in earnest, we should now be still in that ingloriows state of somnambulism that we were two years since. = pat ad the sun is the York capitalists will not invest an: i road? Is it because they had rather spel oo Stonington Rail Road, Vicksburg, Mi United States Bauk, and such like stocks, in pre- ference to investing it where they will be sure of from six to eight per cent? Why do not your mer- chants do something iikewise? “We buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods of them every year for the Connecticut valley, which will soon be bought from the Boston market unless this Railroad is built. Besides, this route would then bethe very best to Albany from New York in the winter. It is so ever now, as the travel bears witness. Why, then, (will not your New York merchants give us a ‘' boost ?’’ “It would be fer their benefit us well as ours. Our upriver business the last full, although smaller heretofore, was much better than the most sanguine amongst ws anticipated. Three steam tow boats had as much as they could do early and late. Our ‘* Windsor brigs” also did a large freighting business. In the language of another, I will close by saying, whethor we get a rail road from hence to Springfield “ you might as well dam up the waters ofthe Connecticut with bullrushes, as to fetter the steps of trade, more proud, honest, and firm, amidst the Connecticut valley resid than where she treads in the lumbered Pine or Pearl sireet, or eouches herself amidst the magnifi- cent domes of Wall street.” reason your New Western Watens.—Red River was sising at the rate of twelve inches per day on the 12th inst at Natchitoches.

We learn from Norfolk that Iunter’s steamboat is in a fair way of being launched in the spring— say the middle of April. The keel of another steam- erof 600 tons bas been laid at the launching slip near the main gate; and a brig, 100 feet between the perpendiculars, has been raised near the dry dock. The St. Lawrence, 44, has her orlop deck, berth deck, and gua deck, all Jaid; the spar deck is yet to be laid, and the starbard streak to be put on. Anew. keel, with new dead wood, has been put in, the first having decayed by dry rot. White oak may answer for shipbuilding if it canbe kept immersed, or always moist ; when it is kept per- fectly dry, a great chance is against it. Live oak will stand the tug of war wet or dry.
