BANKS. The governor of Kentucky rec
ommends the passage Of a law to incorpo-
rate state bank with five branches and q
capital of $4,000 00-the state being a
stock holder to the amount Of four fifths OF
the stock, and having proportionate share
in the management Of Its affairs.
The Legislature of Ohio, has passed a res
olution approving Of the removal of the de-
positcs, and instructing the delegation from
that state to vote against re-charter of the
U. S. Bank, and Mr.. Clay's land bill
A bill is before the Legislature of Indiana
to incorporate bank with 10 branches
The Indiana Democrat says there is little
doubt that this bill, or similar one, will pass
Application has been made to the legisla
ture of New York for an increase of bank.
ing capital to the amount of $50,000,000
Ths presidents of the Philadelphia banks
some with the order of their directors and
some without, have addressed memorial te
congress praying restoration of the public
deposites to the bank of the U. States
o. We understand that Captain Mathew
Duncan, of the late disbanded regiment OF
Rangers, has been transferred to the new corps
Of Dragons.
DAvY CROCKETT asserts that the author
of late work purporting to be a history of
his life, adventures and ercentricuics, does
him great injustice; and therefore he intends
coming before the public in plain, unvar
tnished history of himself, prepared under his
oun notice, and published by his oun author
ity: he says he shall aroid the refnements
of literature, and strive to present himselfas
he really is, plain, biunt, arestcrn man, re-
lying on honesty and the woods, and not on
learning and the law for living.
Several of our cotemporaries, conductors
Of the press, a little disposed TO be witt,
pounce upon Gen. Duucan's Canal Rcso4t-
ton without mercy. If gentlemen would
check their risibe proponstics long enough
t. take a second thought, they mi sht see
perhaps, that, like the good old dame ia
Knickerbocker, they forgot to laugh in the
proper place The story has progressed
quite too far for mirth nov, and their attempts.

selves doub!y ridiculous.

U OST CHILD.-Some time in the month
"a of October, 1923, at Mr. Marney's a.
bou: four miles west of BelIevile, on the ST.
Louis road, the undersigned met with boy
about 10 years of age, who says his name is
Jacob Thompson. He stated he had left N
Orleans about the 18th of September last
and came to St. Louis the same month. He
further states that he was born in the CITY Of
N. York, that his father had purchased lands
in the military bounty tract of this state, and
designed going to it. The boy at one time
stated his father lived four miles on this side
of St. Louis. 1t was at the earnest solicita-
ton of the boy that took him home. Said
Jacob Thompson has fair skin, blue ewes,
light HAIR, is good looking and sprightly-he
has made several contradictory statements.
The above notice is given that should any
person be interested in finding him, they may
be enabled to do so.

, towns thereto.
EMBARRAS,S Is also stu
ated one half of a mile east
of the main Embarrass River.
where the much travelled road
leading from Palestine, the
county Seat of Crawford coun-
ty, to the town of ShelbyvilIe,
crosses the Cumberland Road,
at the distance of forty miles
from the former and about the
Same from the latter place. 4.7
EMBARRASS is one of
the most eminent points on the
Cumberland Road for many
miles, which renders the site
altogether beautiful. The quail
|ity of soil and timber at and
in the vicinity of said town, is
superior to that Of the gener-
atty in Coles county. The
bottom lands belonging to the
main Embarrass, are of the
first quality of soil, are well
timbered and rapidly popula-
ting. The Embarrass River,
within one half of mile of the
town site, possesses some adj
vantageous locations for water
mills and other machinery to
any extent There is at this
time in operation good saw
and grist mill within half a mile
of this town, both of which run
the whole year, and in point of
manufacturing flour, is inferior
to none in the state; there are
"a number of fine mill seats, at
present vacant and unoccupi-
ed, and certainly should elicit
the immediate attention and
pursuit of some genius or en-
terprising capitalist in the i'm
provement of these important
advantages. Good springs are
found in abundance in the i'm
mediate vicinity; high, rich,
rolling prairies, remote from
stagnant marshes, interspcrsed
with abundance of good tim
Der, lies for many miles east
and west of this place, and
north and south the country is
heavily timbered and uscep-
tible of good settlements; the
country is rapidly popula ting.
Taking into consideration
the health of town and country
generally, together with the
character and business that
must inevitably result from the
many advantages of the Cum
berland Road, including the
weight Of business and travel
thereon, with the many sur
rounding objects and advanta-
ges hereinbefore mentioned,
Embarrass certainly claims
decided preference to many of
the villages which have sprung
up in the west; the lots are
regularly laid off to front
square with the road and suit
the particular and natural site
of the town; plotted, numeri-
cally numbered and recorded

ences of their contents, &c. a

PAPER. A paragraph in the observer Of
Yesterday, respecting paper mandatory,
admonlshes us that we have failed in our du-
fy in not Noticing an establishment OF this
kind which is proposed to be erected in Boon
county. The proprietors are Messrs. d. S.
i.amme e. Co. A building is already COM
,l'eted for the purpose; and it is expected that
ne arrangements win be so far advanced as
. enable them to commence operations IN
August next. The proprietors have, we be-
ieve, established agencies in this city-ai
he hook stores, and perhaps other places
or the purchase of rags; and much money,
which may otherwise be ost, will be saved
10 the needy by proper care Of them. We
hope that the proprietors may be rewarded
by the post ample success.-Mo. Repub.

As the Gazette has had the daring eff frontery to deny the declaration imputed to Col. seyier, in our last paper, in relation to the disposition made of the printing of the Statute Laws, we will take him upon anoth- CT tack, which, we fancy, he will find it no easy matter to Fe himself out of.

SINGULAR PROSECUTION.

A week or ten days ago, MT. WILSON M'GREW, a Jeweller, who for many years has stood among the first of his pro- fession, and maintained an unsullied char acter for honesty and industry, was called upon by MT. G. W. MASON, to have six new 25 ct. pieces gilded, and otherwise made to resemble the new gold coin. Mir. Nj. stated, that he wished to have few pieces done for the purpose of having little sport, and to show to the farmers of this county, how easily the rev coin might be counterfeited, and how liable the people would be to imposition. No secret was made of the matter. A Mr. Huyser, one of Mir. M'Grewss workmen, executed the work to the satisfaction of the parties. The gllded pieces were exhibited to numbers, ln the same public manner. On Monday evening a few individuals, TAsHHessrs. Hen derson. l4ytle, Allen $ Co.,, met for the purpose of consulting upon the best means oi turning the gilded quarters, (the gold com having proved golden humbug,) to Mir. Lytle's advantage in the ensuing elec- tlon. It was there determined to prose cute Mr. M'Grew for couuterfeiting, and

ton county.

In the Intelligeneer of Friday, Gov. PopE has responded at some length, to the abusive and violent attacks made upon him Tn the Gazette, because he refused to give the editor" printer" we should have said --of that paper, the printing of the Statute Laws. In the conclusion of lis publica- ton, he calls upon MT. Seyier, If he wishes their political and social relations to re- main unimpaired), to make public disa- yoWal and condemnation of Mr. WoodraAss s conduct. and tocastfrom him the mischiev- ous pack who are aiding and abetting in the warfare upon him. He also says, that unless the corrective is speedily applied, the political connection between himself and Mir. sevier, must De dissolred. Wood ruff, in reply to this portion of the Cover nor's address, laughs at the idea of MT. Sevier's making the "pubhc disavowap called for by the Governor. He says that Mir. Seyier twill not consent to abandon an old friend, for preteaded one." So the political connection between Gov. Pope and Col. Sevier, may be considered as dis solved.
