A Bank-The Merchants and Planters Bank
of Magnolia lately failed A committee who
investigated its affairs, reports the following
among other curious disclosures of the state of
its affairs, and the mode Of transacting business
The circulation at the time of stopping pay
ment was $65,61S, and its assets in discounted
notes S75,6O3 of which nearly $4,000 were in
the notes of three individuals, one of whom was
the President of the Bank.
The charter requires statement on oath of
the condition of the Bank. In November last
The statement was made of the available funds;
Of which two thirds appear to be checks drawn
oy one of the same three persons on banks in
Georgia, which checks are still in the bank
The way they did business may be gathered
nom two orders passed in November. The first
declares that the President and Cashier shall be
authorized to transact all business relating to
The Bank, during the absence of Board; and
the second, that the Cashier shall be the Board
N the absence of the President: SO that, from
mar day up to the suspension, the Cashier was

On Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set He wore brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years fage, as we'll as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high: has drawing manner Of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markedly long in her body has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes
an incision which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given tor
of the above Slave and Mare, or In
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.
