Ky the following letter, printed in the Columbus (Ohio) Journal published there at the request of the gentleman to whom it was ad dressed it appears that Judge iVlcLean has distinctly withdrawn himself from the field of competi tion for the Presidency: Richland, (O.) Aug.l, 1835. Dear Sir: Being informed that my friends from different parts of Ohio, having consulted together, have come to a determination to organize, and endeavor to pro duce a concert of action through out the State, on the subject of the election of President, and as you are Chairman of one of the prin cipal committees which has been constituted with a view to this ob- iect, it is proper that 1 should make to you the following com munication. Un all occasions since rav name has been spoken of in reference to the Presidency I have given my friends to understand m con versations, and by communica li-ns that have bten published, inai i wouui not he a party to a contest lhat shall be likely to lead to an election of Chief Magistrate by die Ho:s$p of Representades: As a mailer of choice I would not uke the office through the instru mentality of the House. I was fully aware that this course on my part would discour- I age my inenas auu nyuic my prospects but 1 was not desirous of the oflice except on such terms as would enable me to carry out those principles, w hich would ele vate and irutiquilize the political action of the country. 1 was not unaware that there were several gentlemen who look ed to the olliee, as 1 believe, with more solicitude than myself, and who had much higher claims, lo the sullrages of their fellow citi zens and, as it was hardly to be expected that these claims would be postponed, my resolu tion was taken in reference to such a state ot things. My anticipa tions have been realized. The ground on which the contest seems now to be placed by those who are ormosed to the Baltimore .nominations and from the iiiim i ber of candidates in the field, it is not probable that this ground can j be changed, necessarily on the 'principles I have avowed, ex- , rludes me from the list of cauiii dates. 1 adhere to my principles, mil, ol course, acquiesce most cheerfully in the decision. Asa citizen, I shall ever oppose that which I consciously believe to be wrung in policy or in principle. 'This declaration is due to m' self, to my friends generally, and especially to those of them w ho h ive sustained the Administration, and who were among the first lo introduce my mine into the con test. ! wish to remove from all my friends any embarrassment which they may feel in the ensu ring election of Chief Magistrate i . in.) on my account, tviui great re spect, 1 am, Very truly and sincerely yours. JOHN McLEAN. Moes H. Kirby, Esq. Colum bus, Ohio. Fuycttecille, Sept. 22d. J'ew Cotton. On Thursday last, Mr. Malcom Patterson, of Robeson Counlv. brourzht to rmirkpt tun h.ilie of upw rmmn 1 the first received this season. They were purchased by Mr. R. C. McMaster, at lGi cents per lb. Observer. American Kible Society. It has been stated in many of the Newspapers of the dayj that the Parent Bible Society of N.York permitted its Presses to be em ployed in striking off Incendiary ' Publications for the Abolitionists. We thought the rumor at the lime we heard il, an idle one, and we now learn, ex cathedra, that it is so. Hal. Heir. John A. JMurcl. It would seem by the following extract of a let ter, that this arch-scoundrel h still in existence. It is written by Mr. John Holland, of Maury country, Tennessee, to his brother in V ilkinson county, Miss, dated 2Gth July 1835: "It is stated that Murel is in the Penitentiary. 1 have not seen him, but have no doubt it is a fact, and it is also said that when the cholera broke out amongst the prisoners, Murel took it, and be lieving that he was going to die, he confessed that what Stewart had said was true, but he not dy ing, and the cholera being so se vere among the prisoners, they were not confined to their cells, and Murel made one grain! effort to escape, but he was so severely hurt in falling that he could not escape from the walls of the prison and is still in confinement." Hon. William T. Barru. We regret to learn, by a letter publish ed in the New York Gazette, dated Liverpool, August 22d, that Mr. lsarry, our minister to Spain, is now very ill in Liverpool, and appears to be rapidly sinking. He scarcely ever quits his bed and coughs continually. United States Bank. The Bank had made arrangements with respect to several of its branches, which are calculated to relieve the ciiies in question from much pressure or uanic in winding up the Institution. The Branch es at Bufi'alo, lialtimore, Charles- ion, Lexington, Louisville and Portsmouth, have been transferred to some of the local batiks, or to wealthy capitalists, on a credit of 2, 3 and 4 years, at an interest ol 5 per centum per annum. The debts due the Bulfalo Branch were purchased by a company oi merchants, i he Baltimore branch debts, and banking House, are to be transferred to the Merchant Bank of Baltimore. Thus, the debtors of 'the U.S. Bank are assigned over lo some States In stitutionand things go on quiet ly, as before. The New. York Journal of Commerce speaks of a rumor, that negotiations are now on foot for the disposal oj other branches, including that of New York her self. The New York Times "hopes that the Bank may pur sue the policy so auspiciously commenced, till all its branches are disposed of. By so doing, it will greatly relieve the gloomy apprehensions of the public, and furnish one act in the. long drama of its existence which will be cor: dially and generally approv ed." ft is said, that a similar plan is in agitation in this city. Richmond Enquirer. 0711 gives us pleasure to be able to announce to the public that the contracts for that portion of the Greensville and Roanoke Rail Road, which were ready for let ting, were all taken; and we learn that the' Contractors are men w ho will be disposed to spare no exer tion to push their work with vig our and zeal. In a few days there will be a force on the Road w hich will cheer the hearts of the Farmers who now have to toil through the mud to carry ihe pro ducts of their' farms to market. Our friends about Warrenlon and its vicinity may expect us soon to be ready to receive their cotton and tobacco at Wilkins' Ferry auu a comurv aoomuMim in i lie riches of a fertile soil, will have a market brought to their doors. We will take this opportunity to mention that the amount of slock which was authorized lo be subscribed for at Wilkins' ferry on the 1 5th inst. was taken; and thai all the slock which ihe books were opened lo receive in Petersburg, was subscribed for without diffi culty. The company are thus prepared to push the work as rap idly as we could wish. It is gratifying to observe ihe spirit and vigor with which Virgin ia is now going ahead in the great inarch of Internal improvement which is the march of wealth and of intellectual refinement since nothing lends 'more lo improve and enlighten men than free inter course. Steps have been taken to com mence a survey for a Rail Road from our town to Richmond. This is another link in the grand chain of Rail Roads along w hich the whole southern travel must pass. The Whig of Friday, states that "a sufficient sum has been subscribed to defray the expenses of the survey for the route of this Railway, and Moncure Robinson Esq. has been requested to super intend it. Mr. James Herron will be his principal assistant in mak ing the survey, which will be commenced in a few days. The country will be examined on both sides of the Manchester and Pe tersburg Turnpike, for the pur pose of selecting the route, that shall seem to combine most ad vantages." Petersburg Int. Speculation. The Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday says: 'We learn that all the sugar in the first hands at Louisville, amounting i 1 500 hogsheads, cost about $ 1 30, 000, has been purchased in this city, .on speculation, at four months. It has, consequently, riased I cent per lb. by the hogs head, and one cent by the barrel, with the w liolesale merchants not included in the purchase. An Extraordinary Fact. One of the steamuoau 1 " ' lew evening i;-- sengers. vu laiiuiut,, lei and Boarding House was full accommodations for a great number of them could not be had, and thev were compelled to take the steamboat and go to Jersey City to get shelter for the night. Astor's Hotel, (if finished) and S . 1 I'....v ra-r II. many other Boarding Houses, would not be sufficient to accom modate the crowds of strangers that are coming to our citv. A. Y. Daily Adv. fX7Ve learn by the Norfolk Beacon lhat the Clergy of Rich mond and Henrico counties, have declined complying with a request of the committee of Vigilance to abstain from preaching separately ta blacks during ihe present ex citement. This decision is to be much regretted, as it shows a want of respect for ihe feelings and in terests of the community which is very reprehensible. Jtis proba ble that the "next Legislature of Virginia will prohibit this kind of preaching altogether; and the "Clergy" will find, in. that, they have adopted a very blind and stupid policy. Peitieoat .Missionary. Philadelphia U. S. Gazette "states, that a lady of Boston, the authoress of several literary pro ductions of considerable merit has been appointed by the Anti-Slavery Society of Massachusetts to visit England and Scotland, on business connected with the imme diate abolition of the slaves of diis country. She will sail from New York in n few days." This literary Lady is supposed to be Mrs. Childs. The National Ga zf tie hopes "that this informa tion is erroneous. Let us not invoke foreign inter ference for any purpose." The movements of these people are be coming more and more impudent and odious. The old women of Scotland ia.ve sent a foreign Emissary among us and the Fanatics are sending a woman, to return the compliment. Thomp- i ougiit to be dnn at once . i from the countr steps ought to be taken to ascertain Mrs. Childs' ; views, and to warn her against going or against returning. Richmond Enquirer. Texas. It is slated in the Memphis Gazette, that Col. Aus tin, recently arrived in New Or leans from Mexico, contradicts the report w hich has been circu lated by some of the southern 'pa pers in relation to the supposed treaty between the United States Government and that of Mexico, for the purchase of Texas of the laiter; and he further says that there is no danger of an open rup ture between ihe Texoniaus and the Government of Santa Anna. Late and important from Jama ica. We have received dates to August 24 lh, and find that the House of Assembly at their re cent special session has been un ceremoniously dissolved by the Governor, the Marquis of Sligo. The Governor in his address bad given a false coloring, it is asser ted, to the condition of the Colo ny respecting it as prosperous under the apprenticeship. The answer of the Assembly refuted these statements, and was rather severe in their censures proving as we have all along anticipated, that the quixotic project of ex pelling voluntary labor from ne groes must necessarily terminate in a miserable abortion. The sugar crops, it is found, are now alarmingly diminished, and also the coffee, pimento, tkc. The ne groes, under the system of limit ed hours of labor, have become excessively indolent, and cannot be roused to action by any pros pect of wages offered lo them for extra services. The fact is, the negro is incapable of freedom, and from his constitutional apa thy and torpor, 'becomes, when left to himself a poor shiftless creature, as we see here in New York. It is thought Jamaica, in a few years, will no longer be a sugar colony. It is apprehended now lhat the British parliament will proceed to still more injuri ous measures. The colonists are unaniimous and resolute, and hope for the removal of Lord Sligo. jY. Y. Stur.

Departed this lite, on Thursday, 24th nt-pt. at me residence oi mn. Hawkins, in the county of Warren, Mis". JVancy Williams, consort of Dr. William W. Williams; of Martin couutv. K. C. In the death of this amiable and interestinj; lady society has lost one of its brightest oint ments, and her lannly sustained an irreparable loss; but their loss is her train. Mrs. Williams had tor many years been a pious and exemplary member of the Methodist Episcopal church. She proved to the world by her deportment tliit she was what she professed to be, a follower of the lowly Jesus; but notwithstanding her pious and godly walk and comersa I tion, notwithstanding her eminent ' be useiulness in the cause of her Lord and Master, it pleased an. all wise God to summon her hence, w hoii it was little expected. She left home about the 1st August, in company with her husband and children, for the purpose of visiting her friends in the upper country, where she was ta ken with a disease that baffled the skill of the most eminent physicians, and brought her pilgrimage to a close. But though she died from home she died among friends, and that God whom she had so long loved and ser ved, did not forsake her in her dying hour, but his arms of mercy were pla ced underneath her, and the consola tions ot his holy religion sustained her in the trying hour when her cheeks were shrouded with an immortal paleness, when sublunary things be gati to recede from her view, when one tender tie after another was dis solving, and when the solemn reali ties oi 'eternity were breaking upon her departing vision. She was ena bled to hail death as a welcome yea happy messenger, and though sur rounded by her wcepiug husband and chrldt en (six in number,) all of whom were present, she rejoiced in hope of heaven and immortal glory. She was constrained to exclaim, my pre sent light affliction, (which is but for a moment) shall work out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. In this happy frame of mind she continued till her little bark left the contracted shores of time, launched into eternity's boundless ocean, and under the guid ance of Jesus Christ the great captain of her salvation, went to explore the land of rest, the saint's delight, the heaven prepared for the finally faith ful. Let me die the death of the righteous, and let mv last end be like that. Of Mrs. Williams. Frices Current, At Tarboro and New York SKl'l. 2S. per Turboro'.
