Election on Thursday, the 10th November next. fX?"The issuing of the present number of our paper has been somewhat delayed in consequence of sickness, and we are apprehen sive that we shall be unable to is sue a paper the next week. Should this be the case, we will shortly make up the deficiency. fjWe regret to state that there is much sickness prevailing at pre- sent in this place and vicinity it is generally of a bilious cast, and ; alihi.iirrli vpt v Hist rpssi nc has. not ! 1 thus for proved fatal except in a J very lew cases. It is n-Ptiprallv .it- E5 J - tributed to the very dry weather we have had the last few weeks, after an unprecedented wet spring and summer. d7Thc Fall Term of the Su perior Court for this county was held in this place this week, Judge Strange presiding. There was very little business brought before the Court, which commenced on Monday and terminated on Tues day being the shortest term held here for many years. S'We saw a few days since, an ingenious contrivance attached to the axlelrceof a gig, w hich we were told would accurately mark each mile it travelled, by striking on a small bell. It was invented by Mr. David C. Bell, a resident of this county, and is termed a clock, which it somewhat resem bles, the face being about seven inches in diameter, and the whole concern very simple, neat and compact. CCThe Raleigh Standard re marking on the recent Election Returns, in reference to Gen. Dudley's majority, observes: uVVe cannot satisfy our own mind as to the precise amount of j that majoiity, but believe that it j liberty and the right of the people will fall short of 4000, while his ! to self-government. That the re friends make it upwards of 5000. publicans of North Carolina, who From the best information we can , have so firmly and triumphantly obtain, we believe that the 50 members of the Senate will con-; gist of 25 Whigs and 24 van Ten, and one representing a Van Buren county, pledged to vote against Maugum for U. S. Sena lor. On this question the Senate svill tie. Of the 120 members of the House of Commons,61 certain for Van Buren and 59 Whigs, making a majority of 2. Many of our well informed friends think we iiav underrated the majority while the Wbigs say there will be a tie on joint ballot. On the whole, we may be assured thai Mr. Maugutn will not be elected Senator. W.e may aUo feel assu red thaj lbe State of North Caro- lilKl -is still Democratic Republi and that she will vote forJ can, JMr. Van Buret)." fXWe learn from the Milton Spectator, that a Public Dinner has been tendered to, and accept ed by, the Hon. Bedjord Brown, to be given at the Milton Hotel, on the 17th inst. as a testimony of regard for his independent and truly republican course in the Sen ate of the United Slates. A num ber of distinguished citizens of the Democratic party in Virginia as well as North Carolina, have been invited to attend: Among them the venerable Nathaniel Macon, His Excellency- Richard Dobbs Spaight, and the Hon. William C. Rives. The following is Mr. Brown's reply to the letter of in vitation: Caswell, A". C. Sept. 2d, 1836. V Gentlemen: I have this dav been honored with the receipt of j will never abandon her good old your letter, inviting me to a Pub- i Jefiersoiiian Democratic Republi iic Dinner, to be given at the Mil-i t an principles which she has so ton Hotel, on Saturday the 1 7th long maintained and practised, to instant. For the very flatterior; j throw herself (on any occasion) manner in which you are pleased I into the embraces of the Federal to allude to mv public services, ! ists, the Nullifiers, or the new although conscious myself that - . - I a they have been but humbly per formed, I feel profoundly grate ful; coming, as this expression of approbation does, from a portion of those who have known me long est and best. Since it has been my lot to have been in the Congress of the Uni ted States, many questions of the most momentous and agitating character, have presented them selves for consideration ques tions virtually involving the liber ties of the country and a continu ance of its freedom. Bv the vitr- orous aud united efforts of the lie publican party, the principles oj free government have, as vet. maintained their ascendancy in "ur ;'"uai council. nnu me happy result has shown itself in the peaceful and prosperous con dition, which is universally wit nessed in the country. At no pe riod of our former history, have the great questions of civil liberty, and that of the existence of our U nion, been more emphatically put to the issue, and to the decision of the people, than they will be in the approaching contest, at the next Presidential election. An attempt is made, by the most prof ligate misrepresentation, to des troy that Union and harmony be tween the great democratic par ties o'f the North and South, by the concert and unhid efforts of which, republican ascendancy has heretofore prevailed and the. Union been preserved. The combined political party, which is now ma king every effort to defeat the De mocratic Candidate for the Presi dency, perceiving that in no other way can a triumph be gained for the Bank party and its great al lies, Federalism and Nullification, are endeavoring, by the most un hallowed and unscrupulous means, to alienate the South from the North, by the most gross and un founded misrepresentations, con cerning the opinions of Mr. Van Buren, that eminent republican and statesman. The extraordina ry and interesting crisis which is now at hand, will, I trust, excuse j me for the expression of these opinions The battle is one for supported the administration of President Jackson in its greatest Bu-Sacd most trying difficulties, will again vindicate that right, 1 can not permit myself to doubt. To allow themselves now to be divi ded and defeated by the arts of the opposition, would be to sacri fice the inestimable principles for which they have hitherto so suc cessfully contended. In conclusion, gentlemen, per mit me to return you my most sin cere thanks for the kind manner in which your invitation to me is conveyed, and to assure you that it will give me great pleasure to participate with you, at the pro posed public dinner. I am, with sentiments of great respect, Your obedient servant, BEDFORD BROWN. Tt Messrs. .James Rainey, Bariil- lai Graves, Stephen Dodsoti and others of the Committee. fX7"An Entertainment Was re cently given at Nashville, Tenii. in honor of President Jackson. The first sentiment ivas as follows: Our Illustrious Guest: The Pre sident of the United States. By maintaining the true principles of republicanism, and. a sound con struction of the Constitution, he has disappointed his enemies and fulfilled the most sanguine expec tations of his friends. The great measures of his administration will continue to be supported by the people. After reluming his acknowledg ments for the sentiment expressed, the President offered the follow ing: Republican Tennessee: Her mot to, "principles not man" She born Whigs. The President. We learn from Nashville, that the President left that place on the 22(1 tilt, on a vi sit to Mrs. Coffee, the widow of General Coffee, and a near rela tive of Mrs. Jackson. We have understood that Gen. Coffee con fided come of his dispositions' con cerning his affairs and family to the care of his relative and friend, the President, who has not, until his present visit to Tennessee, had an opportunity since the death of Gen. Coffee, of giving his person al attention to a trust which he holds in the right of a religious duty. Globe.

OjThe Editor of the Milton Spectator has disposed of one half of his interest in that office to Mr. George C. Rogers, and the paper will in future be edited and pub lished by them jointly. Its prin ciples and politics will remain the same. Health of the City. One new case of Small Pox, or Varioloid, (a very mild one,) reported since our last. It has been removed to the Hospital, and this is the only case in the city or suburbs. The disease, no doubt, has been mas tered, and this is the last case we expect to have to announce. Baleigh Reg. . f7A man named Gifford, of this town, who was employed on board of theUnited States' Dredge boat in Pamlico river, met with a shocking accident a few days ago. While engaged about the machi nery, his arm became entangled therewith, and report says that the arm was literally severed from his body. Since the above was written we have been informed that the un fortunate man is dead. JYeicbern Spec, Cholera. This dreadful dis ease has made its appearance in Charleston, S. C. 11 cases and 2 deaths had occurred within six days, ending the olstult. On the 1st inst. 3 new cases and 3 deaths were reported; on the 2d, 7 new cases and 3 deaths; on the 3d, 17 new cases and 0 deaths; on the 4lh, 10 new cases and 3 deaths; on the 5th, 27 new cases and G deaths. The disease, so far, has been confined to the blacks, and a few intemperate whites. fXThe Lynchburg Virginian states that Philip Duval, Esq. ol Yazoo, Mississippi, (formerly one of the editors of the Richmond Compiler,) fell in a duel with Air. Cunningham of Yazoo, on the 12lh ult. being shot through the head the first fire. Mr. Cunning ham made a narrow escape, the ball of his antagonist grazing his clothes. C?"A great Texian meeting was held in Petersburg, Va. on the 7th inst. Maj. S. Harris, of the Tex ian army was to have addressed the meeting, but from some un known cause failed to do so. The meeting was the largest that was ever convened in that place. A Committee was appointed to collect funds, and receive other aid for the cause of Texas, and to afford facilities for all to emigrate who were merely deterred by pe cuniary inability. TEXAS Jlid for Texas. The Vicks bnrg Register states that Gen. Dunlap of Tennessee, is about to proceed to Texas with 3000 men. The whole corps is now at Mem phis. Every man is completely armed, the corps having been ori ginally raised for the Florida war. '1 his force, in addition to that al ready in Texas, we have no doubt, will be able to carry every thing before it. Bait. Gaz. Charge of Treason against the President if 'Pexas. A captain of the Texian army now in this ci ty, directly from Texas, informs us that charges had been formally preferred against Mr. Burnet, the President of Texas, for treason. The charges were signed by Gen. Lamar, Gen. Rusk, and nearly all the principal officers of the Texi an army. His release of Santa Anna, and other suspicious acts, furnished the foundation for the accusation. We do not for a moment be lieve that any charge against Pre sident Burnett, injuriously affect , r . , , ngl,,s mora principles, can be r . , ? r- pa - nullum uie luum u ity ins menus to be beyond even the reach even of detraction. Cincinnati Whig. o CyIt is staled in the Pensacola Gazette, that Gen. Gaines having sent an officer into Texas about the middle of July, for the purpose of reclaiming some deserters, he found them to the number of 200 already enlisted in the Texian service. They were in the uni form of the American army, but refused of course, to return with the ofiicer. On application to the commander of the Texian forces, that ofiicer replied that the sol diers might go if they chose, but that he had no authority to send them back against their will. U is not stated whether these men belonged to the regular army or were volunteers called into the service of the United States. CT'Extract of a letter from an officer of the U. S. Army, dated Camp Nacogdoches, August 4, 1836: Since 1 last addressed you from Fort Towson, I have performed another march of near 200 miles, and now, on a small hill which terminates, or rather on which Nacogdoches partly stands, our encampment is spread. We were two weeks accomplishing the march, which was truly fati guing. Part of the country over which we passed had never been travelled before, except by men on horseback; and as we were en cumbered with ox teams, a road had necessarily to be cut as we advanced, which caused great de lay, even when no river was to be crossed, and the trouble incident to building bridges and rafts did not occur to detain us. We rea ched this place about a week ago, and the firing of a small piece of artillery on our approach told of a favorable reception. The inha bitants are extremely polite and obliging, but many of them have left the town in consequence of the hostile altitude of the neighboring Indians," w ho are said to be so nu merous that some do not consider the town safe now, notwithstand ing the presence of the U. States troops. Yesterday evening the roaring of artillery and the sound of mar tial music announced the arrival of General Houston and staff. He seems to have suffered in health, and the wound he received at the battle of San Jacinto confines him still to his crotches. INDIAN WAR. A Severe Fight 11 In dians killed, ..'Vim Milledgc ville Standard (lixira) of Aug. 26, contains a letter to Gov.SchlftV, from Messrs. Jas. Gay and sSpencer Riley, dated Pmdertovvn, Aug. I9lli, giving an account of a se vere action which they had with the Indians the Thurs day preceding. The whites consisted of 30 men. The Indiana were pursued and come up with in Irwin coun ty, in an open pine wood country. The whites imme diately charged, sounding 1 1 1 C3 war whoop; the Indians ware drawn up inline, hutim mediately hroke with fright, when lin y were pursued, and in about twenty minutes cut to pieces; 11 Indians were found dead and 7 women, the latter being dressed so much like the men that they could not he distinguished. Three women and two chil dren were taken prisoners. The whole Indian party were killed or taken. Mr. Uiley killed and scalped I he leader of the Indians. lie had Mint him with buck shot in the hack; the Indian in ihe hurry of re-loading his rifle, had put down the ball with out powder. Mr. Riley broke his double barrelled gun to pieces over him, and "fo v,,w ........... ..i., wrested jt fr0m him, and at seizing me inninn s line the second blow beat out his brains.
