DEAD THIS TfME.--From the Augusta
Dispatch we learn that Mark Whealer re-
Gently died at the house of Alfred Drake,
In Cullodcn, Geo. Some four months since,
this old gentleman called upon us, and de-
sired our assistance in procuring some little
property which he thought was due him
from a citizen in our place. Upon making
enquiries, we learned that after several
years diligent search, and being unable to
learn his whereabouts, the aforesaid citizen
had applied forand obtained letters of ad.
ministration upon the estate of Mark
Whealor, deceased" and the day upon
which he was to make his final return to
the Ordinary's Office, Mark Whcaler ap-
pearea, and testified that he. was not dead,
and received from the handsof his own ad.
ministrator, all that was due him, about
$4,000, and left apparently as we'll salts
fed as if he had attended to the business
himself He has children residing in the
upper part of this District and in Ruther-
fordton N. q. Should this notice meet
their eyes they can obtain information con-
corning his remains, &C., by addressing
the gentleman at whose house he died.

ERs,--Thc Mobile Tribune. of the 18th
inst, says: The present panic, VIC un-
dcrstand, is having d vcry Injurious effect
on the rosidentsof the interior and ospe-
cially those of East Mississippi, whore
South Carolina and Goorgia bank bills arc
tho only funds ON which they depend for
carrying, on their business operations.-
These bills the Mobile and Uhio Railroad
Company refuse to take in payment for
freight or passage; the merchants and
traders refuse them in payment for goods
or dcbts-they cannot be passed i'll Mobile
for dry goods, provisions or anything else.
Thus, the people generally, having no 9th
or kind of money, and being unable to sell
their produce now on hand, are indeed in
most crippled condition. Under these cir-
cumstances, would it not be we'll for our
people to ascertain at what rate it would be
safe to take South Carolina and Georgia
money, and then advertise to receive it at
that rate" III
