ted by most of those who voted
tor the first, and against the se
jond resolution, that they were
decidedly in favor of his rot-Section,
but were opposed to
Legislative nominations or rc
;'.mmondations in such cases,
hdicving them to be wholly
without tlio province of a Leis
htttrc, and calctihttnri to exor
cise an undue influence upon
the people in the choice of their
Chief Magistrate. Indeed, we
know from our own knowledge
that several who voted in oppo
sition to the second resolution,
are, and have ever been the firm
and zealous supporters of the
President. This explanation is
men with o view of exhibiting
i lie subject in its proper light,
and of showing to those at a
distance that the popularity of
Andrcic Jackson, great as it has
ever been, is, at this day, great
er in North-Carolina than at
any preceding period.
On Tuesday, the foregoing
resolutions, as amended by the
Senate, were adopted by the
House of Commons by a vote

The laic F 'ire. The citizens
of Fayottcville have forwarded,
through their Magistrate of
Police, for the relief of the
sufferers by the recent fire in
this city, the sum of $194 20,
being in addition to the $875
noticed in our last paper.
Besides this amount, two gen
tlemen who are residents of
Faycltcvilic, but who were in
tho city when tho firo occurred,
gave $30; & another individual
forwarded from that place, in a
letter, $5; so that the aggregate
of the contribution from that
town, is, $1,104 20.
We also learn that one of the
suflorors, has received $2G,
collected by a gentleman in
Fayetteviilc, for his particular
benefit. Raleigh Reg.

Washington, Jan. 14. The
President has occasionally suf
fered much from the wound in
his arm. Recently, the ball
which fractured the bone, and
remained in the muscle, has
produced great irritation, and
affected syifipathelically the
muscles of his shoulder and
back. Day before yesterday,
he had the bullet extracted, and
it gave him immediate relief.
Dr. Harris, an eminent Sur
geon of Philadelphia, happened
casually in the city, and the Pre
sident availed himself of the
skill of this gentleman, to get
rid of his troublesome enemy.
Some years ago, while on a vis
it to this place, it had nearly
proved fatal to him. The in
llamation was then so great as
to threaten mortification, and
his life was despaired of by his
friends. Unpleasant symptoms
recurring, although in a slight
degree, induced the President
to employ, at once, a radical re
medy. When the Surgeon at-
22 ' -e.Was Versed in bu
siness with gentlemen in his of-
?ph' i wl,?,m he pIilcIy
ccbsity of submitting to the op
eration. A few four, after
wards he appeared among
w fnends, at dinner, with hi
" in a sling, as he had for
merly appeared with it in bat
tie, among the enemies of his
country. Yesterday he was at
work again in his olfice.
. UWis displayed much
skill in performing the opera
tion, and particularly in disen
gaging the bullet (which was
rendered very ragged in pass
ing through the bone) from the
muscle to which it was attach
ed. The incision made, was
necessarily of considerable ex
tentthe ball being large and
flatted Globe.
Virginia Legislature. It is
said, that the Committee on Co

ned to recommend an annual
appropriation of $100,000 to

npHE Exercises of my Academy
A will be resumed on the second
Monday of January and terminate the
second Monday of December follow
ing, allowing a vacation of two weeks
in the summer. The course of in
struction shall embrace the Latin and
Greek languages and the various
branches of an English education.
Being myself a parent, I know the so
licitude felt by others for the welfare
and improvement of their children,
and will act a parent's part towards
those committed to my care. In the
discharge of the various duties attach
ed to my vocation, it shall be my
purpose to impart to my pupils a cri
tical knowledgeof our own language,
and the different branches of the Ma
thematics, together with those sub
lime sciences, Astronomy, Philoso
phy and Chemistry branches (gene
rally too much neglected) though they
occupy an inferior degree on the scale
of science, are in most conditions of
life of paramount importance. As a
situation for the instruction of 3Toulhs,
few places combine more advantages
its high and healthy situation, with
a spring inferior to none in the State,
a spacious and commodious building
with a fire place to each room, and
what is more desirable, it is entirely
secluded from scenes of vice and im
morality (for which youths so often
contract a fondness by frequent inter
course with such). My residence is
situated one mile and a half from Mr.
Simms', 16 from Louisburg and 21
from Warren ton.
My terms will be $40 per session,
including board, tuition, bedding, &c
in advance.
