INSURANCE BANK OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.

INSURANCE BANK OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
The following is the concluding part of
nm able editorial article Of the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, on the subject Of
the recent transfer Of the greater part Of the
stock of this Bank. We recommend it to
the attention Of the reader.
But what is the consequence ofthis trans
action? The consequence is, that Mr.. Bid
die and his copartners become stock holders
IN that Bank-the mother Bank at Colum-
bus will be managed by Directors, who are
citizens of that place, and the Branches will
be managed by Directors, who are citizens
ofthe several places of their location Mr..
Hiddle will have the right TO vote for these
Directors, and will be entitled to draw his
Just proportion of the profi;s Of the Institu-
tioni
But it is objected that he holds a sufi-
cient quantity of stock to control the Bank
Suppose he has if his control of it, is suf:
fcient ground to justify a withdrawal of
public confidence, let that confidence be
Withdrawn and let institution fall. But
it is again objected that he will use this
Bank as an instrument Of the Pennsylvania
Bank Of the United States, 10 distress our
local Banks and thus oppress the people !!
This we conceive TO be entirely out the
bounds Of bability-Fiyst, because, hav
ing paid high bonus for tie stock he holds
L.
use the institution as to impovcrish the very
source from which he is to reap the profits
to pay his enormous investment; and Sc
condly, because he has vigilan. enemies
enough at his own door, who watch his ey-
cry movement, to prevent his transferring
asV excessive quantity ofhis funds 10 the
lnsasance Baak at any one period of time,
and We presume he would scarcely risk lae
safety Of his own BerE ?: ph;!adr'.,?;a t.7

CONGRESS-.
N SENATE.


Mr.. Clay presented the petition of sundry
inhabitants of WItsborough. Sullivan's coun-
ty, New York, and as it was not long, ne ask
ed that it might be read.
This document insisted on the improperly
and inexpediency of allowing so many Roman
Catholic emigrants entering the country whose
practice and tenets were avowedly and direct
" hostile to our republican institutions, and
especially prayed Congress to institute COM
missions in various parts of the country, to
procure information and report on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Claw said some of the objects prayed
for, this Government had no power to grant,
he, therefore, moved that the memorial be re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee and 1t
was referred. e.
The Senate proceeded to the special order
ofthe day, which was the land bid. .,,
The question being on so amending the bill
as to require residence by the settler OF but
one wear to get title to his land, 1t was neg
atived
MIR. Grundy then proposed to substitute a
residence oftwo years The motion was sup
ported bv Messrs Walker, King, of Alabama,
Linn and Upton, and opposed by MIR. Ewing,
as being wholly inefficient to the object pro-
posed. The printing was ordered; but the
question being, in the meanwhile, taken on
the amendment proposed by Mr.. Grundy, 1t
was carried-yeas u, nays IL.

lures. reported bill to repeal the duty on coal.

The Senate then proceeded to the special
order of the day, which was the bill to contlne
the sale of the public land to actual settlers
only.
MIR. Walker, chairman of the Committee
ON the Public Lands, who has charge of the
hill. expressed his appreciation of 9n amend
uent offered on Saturday by Mr. Ewing, and
which provides that land entered, and forfeited,
by non-resldence under the bill, might be en-
tered BY others who shall prove the fact of
such non-residence by the first occupant, and
proposed to modify it by provision that,when
two or more persons should so claim the for
feited land, who inhabit the same quarter-sec-
ton, the preference shall be given to the first
occupant. The amendment to the amend
nlent was then agreed to. 3
Mr.. Upton then moved an amendment, IN
PRODUCING the principle cfgraduation, and pro-
viding that land remaining unsold for ten years
should be sold for one dollar an acre; and if
remaining for fifteen years, at seventy-five
cents the acre, with proviso that not more
than 160 acres be sold to any one man.
Mr.. Ewing then went into the general prln-
ciples of the bill, and the subject of the public
lands generally, and addressed the Senate in
speech which, with his consent was interrupt
ed by motion for adjournment.

admission of the State of Michigan into the
Union, upon an equal footing with the original
States.

question being on its final passage, Mr.. Cush-

The Committee to whom it was referred 10

made, and what part, if any, Of The route
can now be definitely decided on, and
the proper measures to be taken to have
such other surveys made as may be ne

REPORT:
That the surveys heretofore made and
submitted to the Legislature Of South Caro-
lima, by the very able Engineers employed
by that State, on that service, have led to
the satisfactory conclusion that prac;ica-
bic route for Rail Road between Charles.
ton and the Ohio River does exist. But
as those surveys, from the limited means and
time allowed for making them, have me-
cessarily been confined to parts ofthc line
where most difficulties were apprehended,
no definite location of the route can be pre-
dictated on them. The only fact clearly
and distinctly ascertaincd is that the valley
of the French Broad river must be adopted,
us the only practicable course in which the
road can pass the Allegheny mountains and
Blue Ridge, having in view the connection
of the points prescribed by the charter
Another loutc by the head waters of the
Savannah, and the vaiies Of the Tuskaseigc
and Little Tennessee rivers having been

suggested, the same has been surveyed under
the Typographical Engineers, by Lieut..
Drayton, late Of the Army, and Mr.. Fcath-
erstonchaugh of the United States Civil En-
ginec-s, in whose accuracy and judgement
your committee have entire confidence
The result is presented in their reports,
which are herewith submitted. These
clearly demonstrate that this route is wholly
imprac:icable.
On the other hand it is as clearly demon
s.ra:ad that hv adjoining .':p Frcrch Broad
