vacancy upon the Bench ofihe Superior Courts nf Law and Equi ty, which it will be your duty to supply in the progress of the pre sent session. The Judge died during the week designated by law, as the term of Wake Superi or Court, and at so l ite a period in the Circuit, that it was consid ered inexpedient to convene the Council for the purpose of ap pointing a successor. His illness occasioned the loss of Johnston aud Wake court; and his death, those of Franklin, Warren, Hali fax and Northampton. Casual ties of this character, how much soever to be deplored, are often inevitable. It would seem to be at least worthy inquiry, neverthe less, whether the frequency of their occurrence might not be lessened, either by changing the period at which the Courts are required to be held, to a later period of the year, or so far as respects the cir cuits on which difficulties of this character have most frequently arisen, oy merely inverting ine orders, so as to begin in the heal-j thy and terminate in the sickly! counties. The crowded state of the dock ets in some oT the large estei n counties, is such as to amount, in some degree, to a denial ofjustice; and calls loudly for a remedy. Perhaps the best method of re dress, would be the creation of an additional Circuit; and the exten sion of the term to two weeks, in cases where the accumulation of business requires it. A Report from the Commis sioners appointed to digest and revise the Public Statute Laws of the State, which will necessarily engige a large portion of your time and attention during the pres ent session, is in preparation, and will be submitted at an early day. The vacancy in the commission, occasioned by the illness and con sequent resignation of the late Gavin Hogg, Esq. was, in Janua ry last, supplied by the appoint ment of Frederick Nash, Esq. of Hillsborough; who has been, since that period, assiduously en gaged in ' the discharge of its duties. Duncan Cameron, and Alfred Jones, Esquires, two of the Com missioners appointed, by an Act of the last General Assembly, to superintend the re-building of the Capital, having declined the trust, the appointment was, on the 21st of July last, conferred on the Rev. Doctor McPheteers, and Doctor John Beckwith, of this City. The Report of the Commissioners, which will be transmitted to you at an early period of the session, will exhibit; in detail, the progress which has been made, and the ex penditures which have been in curred in the execution of the work. My term of ofitce, as limited by the Constitution, will expire be fore the brief period alloted for the discharge of your duties will liave passed away. 1 trust 1 may be permitted to avail myself of this last opportunity, before I re tire from the active and responsi ble duties of public life, to com parative quiet and seclusion, to express the deep and grateful sense I entertain of the unwaver ing confidence and kindness so frequently manifested towards me by the people of North Carolina. In every relation of life, in which it may be my destiny to be placed, my most fervent aspirations will arise to Him who controls the destinies of Nations, as of individ uals, for the preservation, in their purity, of our free institutions; and the advancement of our citizens in every thing calculated to promote their prosperity and happiness, and add lustre to the character of the State.

Tazewell: "I have looked over the two volumes of the writ ings and correspondence of Gen eral Washington, which have been published by Mr. Sparks, and think the work possesses great merit. He has collected valuable information in addition to the letters themselves, which adds to their interest. The char acter of Mr. Sparks ensures the faithful execution of all he promises.1' Sparks's Life and IVrilings of IVashington. An Agent is now in this vicinity, who will receive subscriptions to this invaluable publication. Those who are de sirous of possessing it, had proba bly better embrace the present opportunity, as Mr. Sparks is pledged to the public that the work shall not be oflered less than the subscription price. The fol lowing testimonial in its favor, was given by the late Chief Jus- Extraordinary. A 62 saw cot ton gin, made by Henry Cham berlain, of Greenville, Pitt coun ty, picked 6,200 lbs. seed cotton per day for four successive weeks, i. e. .100 lbs. to the saw per day. Com. FOR THE TARBORO PRESS. JIr. Howard: Perceiving an error in my communication in serted in the Press of the 21st inst. &i fearful lest it might astound the rearers of pumpkins, and by that means deprive us of several good stories, I wish it so amended as to read 2000 lbs. pumpkins, instead of 2000 pumpkins. H. Governor's Message. We in sert to-day the valedictory mes sage of Gov. Swain. It will richly repay an attentive perusal, comprising as it does, several im portant suggestions relating to the future policy of this State, which are generally unexceptionable. We trust, however, that the Gov ernor's views respecting the pro ceeds of the public lands, will not be sanctioned by the Legislature. We should bitterly reget to see the States become pensioners of the General Government, and the dividing among them the pro ceeds of the public lands, or the surplus revenue, we can view in no' other light. If the na tional treasury is overflowing, the most prudent and proper course is to reduce the revenue derived from imposts, instead of opening a fountain of corruption at the. seat of each State government. They will go to work and digest the propositions before them, when workenouch will be carved out. " cj . , Resolutions on the subject of the Public Land have been intro duced by Mr. Clingman, ofSqr- rv county, lhev are a literal copy,'we believe, of those adopted by the House of Commons, at its last Session. On Friday last, Alexander Tro4 Esq. was re-elected by the Legislature, Solicitor of the fifth Judicial Circuit. Mr. Troy's name was alone in nomination, but the vote stood Troy 12S, Dillion Jordan 39, Blanks 20. On Saturday, William Hill, Esq. was re-elected Secretary of State, without opposition. And, Philo White was elected Printer to the State, for the ensuing year, by the following vote: y White, 105 ' Thos. J. Lemay, . 89 ' BJank, 1 Register, burnt to'death; one a free mail of colour, by the name of Ezekiel Wilkins, about 21 years old, also a negr boy, the property of Ed round Jacobs, Esq. about four teen. The circumstances urt these, as well as 1 can learn: The hands finished shucking out the corn at one place, and put the shucks in the fodder house, and it is supposed that the two' unfor tunate individuals had crept in aud cone to' sleep in the shucks after this, the hands went to the house to get some refreshment, when these two boys were found missing. One of the negroes took a light and a small boy with him. and went to the slack in search the boy held the fire while the other examined the stack, at this instant the shucks and fodder took fire, and it was with difficulty that the boy escap ed," who was searching. The remnant of the bodies was found next day burnt to a cinder. Halifax Adv. General Assembly. Both Hou ses during the past week, were principally engaged in the ap pointment of their officers, com mittees, &:c. . In the Senate, on Friday, Mr. Cooper of Martin, presented a resolution proposing that the Gen eral Assembly adjourn on the 20ih day of December next, and that the Clerks be directed to make up their estimates to that day; which was passed, ayes 29, noes.29, the Speaker voting in the affirmative. The resolution was then laid on the table. In the Commons, on Thursday, Mr. Clingman presented resolu tions, relative to the disposition of the public lands, or the proceeds thereof. Mr. Manly, a resolution effectually to suppress the vice of gambling. Un I riday, Mr. Hoke presented a resolution calling upon the Secretary of State to commu nicate to this House the number of Grants which have been issued by this Slate for Lands within the State of Tennessee, showing the number of acres in each Gram, and whether for Revolutionary services, or otherwise. On Sat urday, Mr. Graham introduced a bill to allow further time for the registration of Grants, mesne con veyances, deeds of gift, &c. he. which was read the first time. Allows three years. Mr. Cling man, a resolution for amending the Road laws. Mr. Huie, a re solution enquiring into the expe diency of amending the revenue laws by increasing the tax on pedlars. Raleigh, Nov. 24. Legulature. The proceed ings, so far. possess but little in terest. The Committees, how ever, are now all appointed. The Speaker's Election in the House of Commons having been contested on party grounds, we may be excused for claiming the result as a triumph for the demo cratic cause. William L. Hay wood, Jr. Esq. the new Speaker, is favorably known as among the most prominent, uniform and talented advocates of the Repub lican party iu the State. With out derogating from the standing of his highly respectable and tal ented opponent, Wm. A. Graham, Esq. we believe we are awarding no more than sheer justice to Mr. Haywood, in expressing a belief that no member ofihe House could have been selected to preside over its deliberations, whose suavity of manners aud varied qualifications more peculiarly fitted him for an able and efficient discharge of the responsible duties of the station-. It will doubtless be readily per ceived by the political readers, that this test of the strength of parties fully sustains our estimate, published immediately after full returns of the August elections had been received. The whig and nullifying presses assailed our classification unsparingly, at the time; but, confident of its faithful ness, we expressed a willingness to abide the issue of any purely parly question which might come before the legislature; and we now have the most emphatic reply that could be made to the efforts of the opposition to discredit our statements, in the result of the bal lot for Speaker: , Haywood, Graham, Blank Adding this'to our majority in the Senate, and ihe aggregate is swelled even beyond our calcula tion. Raleigh Standard. 68 51 1 The Disputed New Hampshire Boundary. We are happy to learn that the rumored loss of lives in the late conflict between the New Hampshire people and the Canadians, is without foundation. Two persons only were wounded. Adj. Gen. Lord has been des patched thither by the Governor ofihe State. NY. Star. New York has again gone for Jackson and Democracy, by over whelming majorities throughout the State. New Jersey. The Legislature of New Jersey has passed resolu tions instructing their Senators to vote for Col. Benton's expunging resolutions, or to "resign their seats;" and instructing Senators and requesting Representatives to vote against re-chartering the United States Bank, or the. chart ing of any other similar institution. Vermont. The Legislature of Vermont have been unable .to make an election of Governor. After sixty three ineffectual bal lotings, a motion to dissolve ihp joint meeting of the two Houses, prevailed by a vote of 1 13 to 100. Accident. At a corn shurkinrr ' at Mr. Elisha McDaniel's, in Northampton countv. on Satur day evening last, two persons were Distressing Incident. ..On Wed nesday night last, between 8 and 9 o'clock, Benjamin iLnus aged about two years and six mouths son of Mr. William Shaw, mer chant of this town, was missing from the house of its parents Diligent search was made by the family, but no tidings of the child could be heard; ihe heart-rending screams occasioned by the overwhelming .distress of its mo ther, who had gone in the street to look for her helpless babe, were soon heard by a number of fami lies and citizens. J he streets and houses were searched; after a considerable time awful and distressing to relate the little in nocenV was found, by its anguish ed father, floating on the water It appears that the child, after dark, while its mother was absent from home, had straved from the house, with other little children and, it is supposed, subsequently wandered . akue, looking for its home, (the. night being dark and rainy,) till it got to the river when, alas! it fell into the devour ing. elemeni! The child having been brought to the house, every means were used by the Phvsi cians to resuscitate it, but in vain the vital spark had fled. IVash. Whig. A Diamond found in North Carolina. The last Charlotte Journal announces that a ' Dia mond has recently been discover ed in that region. It was sent on to the North, and pronounced the "real grit." Petersburg JJarket, Nov. 11). Cotton. Since our last the de mand has been brisk and sales at 155 a 15 5-8 cents. The New York, Philadelphia, and Southern Markets have declined. A or. 23. Cotton 15 5-S.nf. Corn. We regret to learn that the prospects of an abundant crop of Indian corn, which were never finer, have been to a con siderable extent disappointed by the long continuance of warm weather, which prevented the na tural course of drying. We have heard of many farmers who 'have gathered their corn and housed it, but upon inspection have found it unfit for use: while the exterior ofihe ear appeared dry and sound, the cob, and, what is called the heart of the grain, were iu a stale of decay. Vast quantities are even now remaining in the fields from an apprehension of similar consequences. We have heard much of Win ter's lingering in the lap of Spring; we may now say that Summer is revelling on the fruits of Autumn. Fruits and even corn and cotton have takeu a second growth!
