with Miss Lucy Brown. Susan Jones was

quite reserved and apparently sad. She,

fair view they all had Of her a, meeting on

ration. and TO render her more and more an
object Of attraction. She was REGARDED by
all as 4 prize, and several sf, rthem were
already planning what steps il was bes. to
take in order to win her. The two most

Browns favor, were Charles Robinson
and Stephen Jones. Their position and

/ have noticed frequently that you quote checks

II Is your wish to furnish your subscribers with cor
rect information, allow me to suggest to you that you
must be in error. Undoubted drafts on this place
could have been sold in your city at any time within
the last four months, to my positive knowledge, at j
per cent discount, and how much less | cannot say
The notes of the Bank of Brunswick and the Bank
OF ST Marys, have formed almost the entire circua-
ton of the place all this year, and deprecated or non
specie paying notes no longer recognised as the
circulating medium The agents of both the banks
alluded TO, have been checking on New York, with
out intermlsson since the first OF January, at
per cent premium. Notes of the Central Bank OF
Georgia have been sold here lately Is per cent dis
count, and OF the State Bank OF Alabama at q per
cent discount.
The establishment of specie paying notes for our
currency has effected an entire revolution in our
commercial affairs. Nothing short of the very hes,
names IN your city will pass here now, where
as, previously, any thing having the least preten-
plies of goods at reasonable prices, and when our
merchants make sales, ii is for money that can be
converted into New York funds the same hour at the
maximum rate OF 2per cent premium. These checks
will purchase our groceries in New Orleans or pay
our debts in any part ofthe United States.
Your merchants will be enabled the coming season
TO have collections on this place rAade and prompt
return at 2per cent, through house ofunquesioned
standing in your city. The rate named will cover
exchange, and all other charges excepting hostages
So, trust that you will not put usdown at discount
OF 40 per cent any more Lite and Trust and Union
Bank notes, which used to form the currency here
now entirely unsaleable. The last sale of L.
