Mr. Thomas TV. Prgnes is about to rt?

Administration, but will not oppose stats
banks. It will lend its support to the Temperance
cause, and contain selections on

The abolitionists, who in Now York, hare
organised themselves into a regular political
party, not obtaining a satisfactory
answer from either the Whig or Van
Buren candidates to represent the city in the
State Senate, started one of their own numbei
and mustered two hundred votes for him.
Gen. Charles F. Mercer, long a most respec
table member of Congress from Virginia
has been elected the Cashier of a bank in
Florida, and, the National Intelligencer says,

Some niisr.hovout simpletons, out of sport,
enraged an elephant chained to a tree neai
Port Deposit* Md., and one of them approaching
the animal was seized ia its trunk
and dashed to a considerable distance, having
his body at the same time pierced through
with the tuhk of tlie beast, which caused ior
mediate death.
Pa?tv Tactics i* the Teskzsse* Leoxolatvbb.?The
majority of both houses being
suppor.crs of the Administration party, resolutions
wore proposed instructing the 8ena>
tors, and requesting the Representatives it
Congress from that state to vote against i
national bank?for the sub-treasury?again*
^ a bill to secure the freedom of elections?
W* against the distribution of the proceed* of Uh
public lands?and, generally, to support th<
leading measures of the prejent administration.
Mr. Anderson, of the Whig party, moved si
an amendment, to strike out the resohilios
relating to the sub-Hreasury, and insert as i
substitute the following being the language oi
Gov. Polk whilst in Congress, when Mr
Gordon of Virginia, in 1631, proposed ths
s ib-treasury scheme for keeping and disbursing
;hc. revenue, ro:
' Resolved, That a corporation is much aafor
than any individual agent, however responsible
he may be, because it consists of as
association of individuals who have throws
together their aggregate wealth, and who are
bound in their corporate character to the extent
of thoir whole capital stock for the deposing
; and that it is the opinion of this General
Assembly that the heaviest security which
the most wealthy individual could give would
riot make public depositee safe at the point a
largo collect ions.'*
To Avoid a direct vote upon this resolutior
a motion was ma?le to lay it on the table,
which prevailed. Mr. Anderson then proposod
another substitute, and adopting the language
of Gen. Jackson, in his aonoa) message
to Congress in 1836 as follows, viz; Resolved
that "we have confidence in the ability and
capacity of the State Banks to perform all the
duties of fiscal agents for the Government!"
This was also, on motion, laid on the tabic
to a day beyond the session. Mr. Andersoa
then moved still anotlier substitute, adopting
'he language of the Washington Globe, in
relation to a sub-treasury, when Mr. Gordon*!
project, above referred to, was brought forward;
viz: Resolved that the Independent Treasury
;s "disorganizing and revolutionary, and subversive
of the fundamental principles of oui
government, and of its entire practice from
1789 down to this day; and that it is as
naloable as the eun that the effect of the scheme
r?j -
would be to bring the public treasury much
nearer the actual custody and cootrol of the
President, and capote it to be plundered by a
hundred hands, where one under the late
system could not reach it. In such event, we
enould feci that the people bad just cause fev
alarm and ought to give their most watc?Ail
attention to such an effort to enlarge executive
power and put into its hands the means of cor
r option."
This W89 also disposed of by laying it on the
tibV" Th:s id ;ho hist 0/ tho proceedings in
1 the matter which we have seen. The original
resolutions were doubtless afterwards adopted.
- :
The Case of the amistad.?1This case
1 was to be tried in New Haven, at a court
which commenced its session on tho 19th.
iust. but was put off till the 7th, of January,
owing to the si ckness of the interpreter.
The Baltimore American states that not1
withstanding the Richmond and Fredericksburgh
railroad company have repeatedly pubi
lished their rule to receive no powder for
transportation, it is still sometimes smuggled
into their freight cars. On the 15th. instant
an explosion took place of powder thus smug,
(led, which caused the death of one of tho
' hands. If it is murder, in the eye of the law,
1 to cause death by carelessly letting fall a
' heavy body in a street or other place of public
resort; ought not death by such an explosion to
be punished as murder ? The lightest pun,
ighment which ought to be provided for smug,
(ling powder into a railroad car, whether
i explosion occurred or not, is confinement for
, life io a Penitentiary at hard labor. The crime
t indicates so great recklessness of human l'fe
i that the author of it is unfit to live in society.

The message of Gov. Noble, in the preceding
columns, contains much to commend,
with but little that is objectionable.
i Epidemic in St. Augustirie.?An epidemic
has prevailed in St. Augustine, whicn some
consider Yellow Fever of a mild type, and
others are at a loss to classify. A St. Augustine
paper states l hat it originated with a family just
^ from Charleston where the \c!low Fevir
prevailed at the time, and gradually spread,
first in the neighborhood of that family, and
afterwards throughout the town. Although it
attcaked natives the attack# were mild, and
n r<w-nvAww? The deaths were confined to
persons from tbe north, and mostly to those
1 who bad resided at the south only a short
' time. Tbe whole number of cases is staled
at 700, the number of deaths at SO.
> Tbe Flour Mill of Dr. Foutkea, near Greensi
borough, N. C. was lately consumed by fire,
i with nearly 2700 bushels of wheat. Lo??
f estimated at more than 910,000. The fire
1 is supposed to have been produced by the
i friction of one of the spindles which dad run
. without iutermission for several days and
nights.
The Mississippi election has terminated in
favor of the Administration party. Gov* Mc
' Nutt has been re-elected by a few thousand
' majority, Messrs. Brown and Thomson have
' been elected to Congress, and it is supposed
that a majority of both branches of the
I Legislature is "Democratic,"
i There is now no doubt that Marcus Morton
I has a plurality ol a few hundred votes in
f Massachusetts; but it is still doubtful whether
has a majority ol the whole number cast
i which is necessary to an election of. any
, officer m that state. If he has not, the election
. devolves on the Legislature. What the
. political compaction of that body will be is still
> doubtful. Several of the counties failed to
I make an election on the first trial. In thesct
I new balloting^ were to take place last Monday
i on the result of which the preponderance of
strength in both branches of the Legislature
i depends.

1 long editorial in the Emancipator, on the sub.
1 ject of the Whig National Convention soon
| to be held in Harrisburg. Answer, "But when
the question is proposed naked, whether they
[the Abolitionists] will choose the puppet of
saverjr, in Martin Van Buren, or slavery itself,
' in Henry Clay, they will choose neither."
We stated last week that the Aholitinniit*
were represented to have voted generally tor
Mr. Morton as a candidate for Governor of Mas.
sachuietts. Farther information does not conform
tiiis statement. The abolition papers,
and we suppose, of course, the abolition party,
seem to prefer Everett to his opponent, and
J we think for good reason. The abolitionists
before the election put to the candidates the
following questions :
1st. Are you in favor of the immediate abo.
lition, by law, of slavery in the District of
Columbia, and of the slave traffic between the
States of this Union ? '
s
2d. Are you opposed to the admission into
the Uni6n of any new Slate?, the Constitution
and Government of which tolerate domestic
slavery 1
Gov. Everfett, after gome introductory remarks
answers 441 respond to both of your in- t
quiries in thejaffirmative." t
This the organ of the abolitionists pronoun- *
ccs "quite satisfactory" but it pronounces the J
answer of Mr. Morton "evasive and unsatis- ?

Okra, or Alverado Cotton.?We make ,
the following extract from an advertisement /
in the Colninbia papers offering for sale the a
seed of this cotton. (
"Dr. J. II. Taylor from little more than 1-4 i
of the stand he ought to have had, gathered i
upwards of 1,200 lbs. per acre. The following i
is an extract of a letter, from Dr Taylor:
You must observe, I had not more than 1-4
of a stand, and planted, too, at 5 feet, instead
of 3 ; and yet I will inake about 1,200 lb?, per a
acre. I believe it capable, on the same land, '
of yielding 5,000 lbs. planted at 5 feet in dour n
ble rows. If I live another year I will try a u
hundred acres that way." Mr. F. M. Gilmer b
of Montgomery, Alabama, from as bad a stand f
fathered 1,400 lbs to the acre. Mr. C. T. ^
Bilingslea, of Bibb Co. Alabtma, from 1-4 of
an acre, gathered 1,060 lbs, and expected .
581)0 IK*, morn Mr Aldriilm. who first culti.
vated-this Cotton, it is said, raised 3,000 lbs, I
per acre, this year, and refused 830,000 for [
his crop of30 acres. Dr. J. H. Taylor, from j,
22,000 lbs of Seed Cotton, ginned 1*5 bales, of
600 lbs, a?erage; or 35 lbs of clean, to 100 of
the Seed Cotton. Jesse P. Taylor, well vj
known here, weighed 425 lbs of Petit Gulf, and 1
the same of Okra, in the Seed, and ginned f
each; the result was 124lbs of ginned Petit [
Gulli or 29 lbs to the 100, and of Okra 156 lbs, a
or 36 2-3 to each 100 lbs. of Seed Cotton. The j
staple is decidedly finer.'4 ,j
The price of the seed here offered for sale J
is 8100 per bushel, 820 per gallon, and 85 -1
per quart; which arestated to be the Alabama
prices. f
South Westetn Rail Road Bani.?The s
stockholders of this institution met in Charles- 1
ton on the 19th, inst and continued in session '
two days. Among the proceedings reported ?
in the Charleston Courier is the following. !
In the course of the reading of these proceedings,
Col. Memrpinger proposed that the *
documents before the meeting, with the excep- J
tion of the general statement of the affairs of, '
the Mother Bank, he laid on the table, with
the view of rcfering them to a Committee to I
report thereon, at an adjourned meeting, which '
was agreed to.
Towards the close of the proceedings is the i
following item.
Dr. Ervin offered a resolution that the Di- (
rectors of the Bank be instructed to establish
a Branch in North Carolina as early as it may
be practicable.
What further was done in the premises the .
report saith not.
The suspension of specie payments -by the
directors was disapproved, and a speedy return c
to cash payments enjoined. ' -j
A committee was appointed on the subject- S
of making application to the Legislature for '
amendments of the charter, among them that *
the charter be extended for the term of |'
twenty vears, upon condition that the comvanv I *
* * * * I
complete the road to Columbia with one track in j
three years. [ <
James Rose has been elected President of
the Bank.

Lynchino in North Carolina.?The 1
following appears as editorial in the Salisbury ?
Carolinian of the 22d. in*t. and may therefore, ^
we presume be relied on as true. !
Lynchino.?On Wednesday night the 13th ^
inst., six white men, some of whom were pain*
ted and one colored person en'ered the house
of Mr. Nathan Lambeth, Davidson County*1 j
N. C., seiz d his person, dragged him some
distance from the house, there gagged him, j.
and inflicted on his body several hundred blows ..
with sticks. Four of the party becoming ''
semewhat alarmed at the consequences, fled, P
while the other two remained and renewed the n
beating, until Lambeth became insensible and' y
fainted. g
In this situation the party left him, but, af- ;t|
ter coming too, he with great difficulty reached '.]
the house, and on Thursday night died. It j
is stated by the Physician who attended him, .
that he was scarred and lacerated from his 11
neck to his heels, and that there was the ap- f
pearance of several blows having been infhc- V
ted on his stomach and abdomen, the latter of o
which, no doubt was the cause of his death, a
The circumstances that led to this glaring ?
offence were these : A Mr. John Goes, who R
had formerly resided in that neighborho ?d, but lately
returned from Missuuri on business, had
deposited with Mr. John Lee brtween eight *
and nine hundred dollars in snrrie. for eafr* II
keeping. This money was- taken frortl the r
desk of Mr. Lee, on Sunday night, the. 3rd! c
inst. . . In
Suspicion having rested on a negro man of Mr- ^
Lee, he was taken up, examined, and confeesed
that he, in connection with Lambeth the per? I
son lynched, had taken the money, and. the A
greater portion of it was then in Lambeth's v
possession. This confession of the negro, no il
doubt, led to the deed which followed. The s
two persons who were more directly concern* ;|
ed in this transaction, it is said, have fled. As this
matter will, no doubt, undergo a legal investigation
and as the parties implicated are' jj
of very respectable standing, we refrain from making
any comments on this outrage ol all
law, order, and civil liberty. fi
Since the above was in typo, we learn that "
two of the individuals alluded to above, John c
Goss and Lee IVhar'.on have fled, and, no
doubt, are on their way home to Missouri.
North Carolina will prove recreant to the
character which 6he bears among those who
know her best for regard to law and good or- j,
der, unless she shall faithfully pursue the au- g
thors of 60 rcfariou6 an outrage, and rigidly
enforce her laws against them if they can be n
apprehended and convicted. Every man in f<
the 6tate is interested in bringing them to jus- C
tice. Whose life is safe, if the unbridled fe. "
rocity of bloodhouuds in human shape is to be a
indulged and gratified in this way, and with rl
impunity ? However guilty the murdered
individual miy have been, his cxcputioners.
were not the proper ju<Jges of his case. Let. j
Boch men be allowed to judge and execute, and (
the best members of society may seen be their
victims. d

at the sack of wyotning by the Delaware?,

several dialects of the language with, the

and has two daughters living with her at a
place called the "Deal Man's Village."?

Anothergainful lesson, on the great danger
of leading small children alone, even
for a moment near a fire, is uffordrd'in a
recent occurence, at Columbia, I'a. A
small child, belonging to the upper suburb
of that town, was left by its mo'her alone,
playing, while she went into an upper apart,
meet of the dwelling. Returning in a few
moments, she found its clothes on fire.!
and before it could be rescued, the child
was so dreadfully burnt, as to cause its
death in u few hours.
