BANKS, as exhibited by their returns to the Executive, Oct. 7, 1834.

Banks, created since the date of the above return.

Central Railroad Bank; Georgia Railroad Bank; Forsyth and Macon Railroad Bank; Brunswick Bank; Milledgeville Bank; Western Bank, at Rome; Ocmulgee Bank, at Macon; Bank at St. Mary's.

The stock in the Columbus Insurance Company was sold to the United States Bank in the winter of 1837. Some others have been chartered; but here are enough to ruin any country. Two Banks, the Macon and Merchant and Planters' of Augusta, have failed within four or five years past, much to the loss of the poor, and not much to the credit of some concerned with them.

Alapahaw River rises in Dooly county, runs S. E., thence S. through Irwin and Lowndes, within a few miles of Ware, into the Suwaney, in Florida. On the line between Georgia and Florida, this river is 118 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. It is about 100 miles in length. The Withlocooche falls into the Suwaney, a few miles below the Alapahaw.

Alatamaha River is the largest in the State, and is formed by the union of the Oconee and Ocmulgee, just below the 32° of North Latitude.. Its average breadth is 600 yards, its depth 8 feet, and its length 120 miles.

In its course, which is South Easterly, receiving the Ohoopee from the North, it separates Tattnall and a part of Liberty county from Appling, McIntosh from Wayne and Glynn counties, and flows into the Atlantic ocean, by several mouths, between Sapello and St. Simon's Islands. This river has 14 feet of water at the bar, and steamboats of a large size have ascended the Oconee branch to Milledgeville, and the Ocmulgee to Macon; but, owing to shallows and obstructions, pole boats are chiefly used to carry down the produce of the country, and bring up goods to the above named towns. Several thousand dollars have been expended to render this river navigable for steamboats; but nature has as yet received very little assistance from art. Tides flow up 28 miles above the bar. The route of a canal, to connect this river with the Ogeeche and Savannah, has been surveyed, and the estimated cost to the first named river is $621,156 60. (See Canals.) Large vessels come up to Darien.

Since the above account was printed, steamers have been running on both the Oconee and Ocmulgee, to Milledgeville and Macon.

Alatamaha Sound unites the above river with the ocean, and its various channels embrace several beautiful Islands. Alatamaha Canal.-(See Canals.)

Alcovee River has its origin in Gwinnett, about three miles N. E. of Lawrenceville, and is the eastern fork of the Ocmulgee. The Yellow river and South Fork, the other two principal branches, unite about 50 miles above Macon, 12 N. W. Monticello and Alcovee falls into them one mile below. Boats have descended to Macon from this confluence, and even from some of the branches above, but most of the cotton is transported on wagons. Ulcofauhatcha is the Indian name for the river.

Alleghany Mountains terminate in this State. The ridge, known by this name, passes, in a S. W. direction, nearly through the United States from the Hudson river in New-York. They can be seen in Habersham and Rabun counties, from the top of the College buildings at Athens, and the sight of them gives a sweet relief to the eye of the traveller, who all along from Savannah has often sought deliverance from the monotonous sameness of surrounding objects.

Alligator Creek is in the N. E. part of Montgomery, and flows into Pendleton creek. There are two creeks of this name in Telfair, and one rising in Pulaski, and falling into the Palmetto, in Laurens.

Allison's Creek, one in Jones, and another in Greene. Americus, p. t. and cap. Sumter Co., contains C. H., Academy, 100 buildings, 7 stores, 3 shops, 5 mechanics, 2 doctors, 4 lawyers. This place is situated on Lot 156, in 27th Dist. of old Lee, 16 miles west of Flint river, 30 from Drayton, in Dooly, 25 Starkesville, 40 Lumpkin, 30 Tazewell, in Marion, 100 Milledgeville. Incorporated in 1832.

Albany and Alexandria are the names of villages in this region, but the author has not been informed in what county Alexandria is. It is presumed they are very small.— Albany is on Flint river, in Baker.

Appalachee River rises N. E. of the source of the Alcovee, and runs S. E. into the Oconee, six miles West

from Greenesboro. It is about 130 feet wide at its mouth, 5 feet deep, and 80 miles long.-There are three toll bridges across this river;-Hodge's, below Trimble's bridge; Floyd's, 3 miles W. from Salem, in the south part of Clark county, and Middlebrook's, 6 miles above.

Appling County (see No. 1 in the Appendix, under the head Biography) is bounded on the N. by the Alatamaha, which separates it from Montgomery and Tattnall counties; N. E. by a corner of Liberty; E. by Wayne; S. by Ware, and W. by Irwin and Telfair; N. W. by the Ocmulgee. A district of this county was added to Telfair. This is now a large county, though Ware was taken from it, and some part of Telfair.

This county is a part of that territory the title to which was extinguished by the treaty of Fort Jackson, and organized in 1819.

Holmesville was the capital of Appling Co., but the C. H., was ordered by the Legislature, in 1836, to be removed.

Applington, p. t. and cap. Columbia county, on the great Kiokee creek, was named after Col. Daniel Appling, and contains 15 houses, and 3 stores, C. H., Jail, Academy, and houses of worship for Baptists and Methodists, built in 1828.-Place much improved in the two last years.

This town is 82 m. E. N. E. M. 23 N. W. Augusta; 30 S. E. Washington; 16 S. E. Wrightsboro. All that is mortal of the Rev. Daniel Marshall lies a few rods south of the Court House, on the side of the road to Augusta. He was a native of one of the New England States, and one of the first and most useful ministers in Georgia. He founded the Kiokee church, in this place, in 1772; but after his death it was removed four miles north, where it worships in a commodious brick building, 60 by 40.

Memory watches the spot, but no "false marble" utters untruths concerning this distinguished herald of salvation. He sleeps neither "forgotten" nor "unsung;" for every child in the neighborhood can lead you to Daniel Marshall's grave; and a short biographical sketch, and a poem characteristic of the good man, have appeared in print.
