the new General Banking Law in Georgia, ne
groes are one species of property that may be

EXTENSIVE FIRE.--Last evening at about
O'Clock, the Barn Of Messrs. Hart & Bird, stage
proprietors of this place, was discovered to be
on fire and SO rapid was the progress of the
flames, that eleven oftheir horses, and seven
Stage Coaches, with all the fixtures of their
extensive establishment were Destroyed
The flames rapidly extended to the Mansion
House, kept by Mrs. w. H. Champlin, and
from thence to the extensive block of buildings
adjoining, the whole of which are now a mass
of smoking ruins. The only buildings left on
the entire block, being the Eagle Tavern and
a fire proof store unocupied. !. -
The rapidity with which the devouring ele-
ment spread rendered it to all appearance GER
tain that the flames would cross French street
to the extensive block of stores on Cheap Side
the occupants of which, without an exception
removed their whole stocks, which were very
materially damaged by their sudden removal
and the falling fire and water upon them.
Providentially there was but little wind, and
the atmosphere SO excessively cold, that the
water CONCEALED the moment it touched the
buildings, to which we are indebted for the
block on the east side of French street.
Our materialswere all removed and in conse.
quence of their deranged state, no paper will be
issued on Thursday.--G Gazette Extra.

there are not few who have resisted the in
struction of the poor, lest it should corrupt
them: but, with the protection of ignorance,
what would have been the fate of the apple

harmless defence, and the steel traps and spring
guns of the British Pomona! - London Nag.

consequence whether the w-makng body of

thing can be expected from them of either q

RANK SrocKHoLDRRs AND THE LEGIsLA-
ruRR.--Nothing is more ludicrous than the
contrast between the avowed principles, and
The practice Of the leading locofocos In the le-
pislature. Protesting the most unmitgated
dislike for all bank directors, officers, stock
holders and advocates, they have elected Ben
jainin Tappan, one Of the most extensive
stockholders and directors in the state to the
highest office in their gift, and JosephS. Lake,
cashier Of the German Bank of Wooster to the
Office of Canal Fund Commissioner, in the
place Of the Hon. Jeremiah Morrow. 1t may
be said, that the fact of Mr.. Tappan being a
stockholder IN banks, was not made question
on his election. True, il was not; but the fact
that he had touched the unclean thing--even
that foulest Of the unclean--the Farmers Bank
of Canton, was well enough known ptColumbuf
and everywhere else in the State. In the cleo
tion Of Mr.. Lake, however, no such excuse
can beurged. He opposed, by some Of
the party who were old fashioned enough tc
think of their principles; but the opposition
was Of no avail; the force Of party discipline
prevailed, and Mr.. Lake was gulped down
after being well CREASED by eulogiums upor
his honesty and capability. Thus it is with
those WHO profess monstrous and absurd doc.
trines for temporary effect. Sooner or latel
comes to them tho feast spread of their owr
words, which they must swallow, or do oworse
by performing literally what they have prom
ised. Before the election, banks were mon
sters, and their directors, officers and stock
holders villains of the most murderous propen-
sities--since the session of the legislature,
banks have dwindled down to sort of neces-
sary nuisance, and their owners have become
good or bad as suits the taste of their friends or
foes. Totell the truth, the glorifcation spec
tacles are getting their glasses broken out.
