SUCCESS TO MANUFACTURES!
jf We have derived the most heartfelt sat
isfaction from the evidences which have so
rapidly accumulated for two or three years
past, that the people of North Carolina
are awakening to a sense of their true in
terests, and the advantages of their posi
tion, by engaging in the Cotton Manufac
ture. Quite a respectable number of
Factories are already in operation in dif
ferent parts of the Stale, others are now
going up, and others still are projected :
$o that we have much reason to look for
ward to the period as not far distant, when
the extent of works of this description will
entitle North Carolina to be ranked among
ia m i ii ii l I ii r i rr
States. At nor noun in
the State will the facilities for ihe success-
Jul prosecution of such works compare
with those possessed by our own Fayelte
tille. Possessing within her limits and
the immediale vicinity, cheap water power,
sufficient for hundreds of thousands of
spindles labor and living cheap ihe
market for a rich back country which
produces the raw material and provisions
in abundance, as well as for the sale of the
.manufactured goods the location of Fac
tories at this place will save a heavy ex
pense of freight and transportation which
they must encounter in most other situa
tions, either at ihe North, or in the back
country'. They therefore enter into the
competition for the sale of their goods
with a decided advantage, which is made
perfectly manifest by the complete exclu
sion of Northern Yarns from all this re
gion of ihe State since the Factories have
gone into operation here.
I We have heretofore had occasion to
mention Mr. Mallett's Factory, which,
wiih 1500 spindles, has been in operation
for nearly iwo years, wiih results entirely
satisfactory to the proprietor and the pub
lic. We have now the pleasure of stating
that the Cross Creek Mills, owned by
fllessrSi Beubow & Co. from Guilford
County, in this State, commenced opera
tions last week, with 523 spindles, which
will be increased4o 2500 as rapidly as the
machinery can be brought into use. We
liave been presented by these gentlemen
with a specimen of their first manufacture
of Y am, which is of an excellent quality
and handsome appearance. We under
jstand it is their intention gradually to in
troduce Looms into their Mills, for the
manufacture into cloth of the greater pari
or the whole of their Yarn. These gen
jllemen are practical working men, their
machinery new, of the latest improvement,
I and highest finish, justifying the expecta
1 lion of that complete success which has
j heretofore attended similar works here
: and elsewhere.
j We have also the pleasure of stating
j that a company has been formed, ihe site
j fixed on, and the incipient steps taken,
'"wards the speedy erection of a Woolen
; Factory, on Cross Creek, nearly in the
(centre of our low n, and lhat is expected
3 to go into operation during the nexi Fall.
I And last, but not least, that the Hock
I Fish Manufacturing Company, whose
1 movements have beenrctarded by ihe
1 pressure of the limes, unanimously resolved,
at a meeting last week, that their extensive
works shall be pressed with all possible ex
pedition; It is hoped' lhat a portion of
their machinery may be brought into use
iu all next Fall or Winter. -
These pre cheering signs. They indi
cate ihe realisation of those hopes which
have been lone entertained of making Fay-
etteville what, nature emphatically intended
her for, a manufacturing town.

r Specie Payments. Some of the New
York Banks have made a spasmodic at
tempt to resume Specie payments, but, as
"right have been expected, are unable to
L'ontinue. The intelligent Correspondent
of the National Intelligencer, al New Yoik
ays "There is not a Bank in the State
that pays Specie, in the honest meaning
of the term. A good many of thern are
humbugging for the purpose of deluding
the humbugged. Anon, the Merchants in

The present state of things cannot be en
dured much longer. Ral. Keg.
A Rascal Overreached. A somewhat
original attempt to extort money, was re
cently made upon Gov. Everett of Massa
chusetts. A letter was addressed to him,
staling that certain parties had it in con
templation to abduct one of his children,
and keep it secluded till he should sign a
pardon for a convict now in ihe State
Prison. The writer said for ten dollars,
to be sent him through the Post Office, he
would disclose to the Governor the names
of all the parlies. The Governor very
properly sent ihe letter to the District At
torney, v ho caused a letter addressed as
requested, to be put into the Post Office,
instructing the Postmaster to detain who
ever should call for it. A man, named
Hollis Parker, did call, was arrested, con
fessed thai he wrote the letter, and insisted
that it was true, naming another person as
his informant; that person denied under
oath any knowledge thereof, of any such
conversation as Parker
ker, for want of bail,
committed. ib.

Mail Robbery. A letter published in
the Washington Globe, from the Postmas
ter of Mobile, Alabama, dated Mobile
January 21st, stales lhat ihe great-Eastern
.Mail from lhat citv was robin A ., iIim
evening of the 19th instant, and the driver
murdered. The Robbery was detected
at 10 A. M. the next day, bul no traces ol
the mail or robbers could be found. ib.
Foul .Murder. A murder was commit
ted in Gates County, near the Folly, on
the 20th ult. on the body of Mr. Joseph
Speight, of lhat county, by one Andrew
Uarrell, a native of Nansemond county,
Va. lie effected his object by cutting ihe
utroat oi ins victim, in such a manner as to
produce almost death. And while those
who were standing by, were attending ihe
murdered man, Hurrell made his escape,
and has not since been taken. He had
oeen in mat neignuornood lor some time,
and was notorious as a scoundrel, havim?
been several times caught in dishonest
acts : Among others, he broke into
Speight's smoke house and stole a quan
tity of bacoiii On being charged with
the theft, by Speight, he made ai him, and
before he could be prevented, elfected his
diabolical purpose. ib.
"A crying Evil.' Il has hitherto been
the practice ol Sheriffs in this State, when
they expose a man's property to public
sale, for debt, lo advertise sudi property
by manuscript notices, winch notices, wt-j
are bold to say, are not unfi equently torn
down by idlers, and destroyed by ihe wea-!
ther, so as not to leave "a wreck behind,"
and that too, probably, within two or three
days after such notices are posted, ere an
body but ihe Sheriff has seen ihem. Who
knows of ihe sale of A's propei l.? Who
bul die Sheriff, 13. and C whom he told
verbally? None. What is the result of
A's sale? W ho attended il besides the
Sheriff, his neighbor B. and C? Nobody,
bul A. Did A's property sell at good
equivalent prices? Not at all. Why?
because no body but the Sheriff, B. and C.
attended ihe sale, and Ihey did not want to
buy any thing that was sold unless they
could get il lor little or nothing. Why
did not more persons altend? Nobody
else knew any think about it. What did
A's negro man sell for, $300. Who
bought him? C. Well, here is D, (who
knew nothing about the sale, until it was
over) he'll give C. $600 for the negro.
Thus sales are made. But let us grant
lhat such Advertisements stand firmly
nailed who' reads them? No one, unless
he accidentally stumbles against them.
Who has an opportunity of seeing them?
Not ten out of a hundred, who would glad
ly attend the sale. Besides there are hun
dreds of men who are able lo buy properly
that cannot read manuscript, bul w ho cau
read printed matter and the:e men re
main in ignorance of ihe parcels of pro
perly which are to be sold, and forsooth
in ignorance of the sale itself, unless they
casually hear it spoken of by others.
We have stated the "evil," and now for
the remedy. What, then, should be done?
Our next Legislature should pass an act
compelling Sheriffs to make such Adver
tisements through Newspapers, so that
"he who runs may read." This, and this
alone, will act as a remedy for the evil
complained of, and our word for it, it is a
sovereign remedy, and a remedy which the
People will like. . Every other State in
ihe Union has adopted this remedy, and
j we are surprised at North Carolina! Will
the people of the State stop to consider?
for shame! Carolina! awake! "shake
your dry bones" and down with this
"zY' Carolina Patriot.
C7A lady in Baltimore perished last
week through the carelessness of an Apo
thecary, who instead of Phosphate of So
da, as prescribed by her Physician, sent a
quantity of Precipitate of mercury. What
adds to the Apothecary's carelessness, is
- -
the fact that, fearful of dancer, she sent
back the fatal dose to be re-examinpd.
which was again returned to her, and
quickly put a period lo her existence.
One of the most important and useful
inventions lately made by human ingenuity
is an article by a gentleman of New York.
This is no less than a metallic cap for
corns which may be fitted on so as lo pre
serve ihe corn from pressure and effect a

gold, silver or copper, and come stamped
with the recommendation of no less au

JJccidents by Steam. The passengers,
to the number of twenty four, who were
in the cars on the Richmond and Freder
icksburg Rail Road, at ihe time of ihe ac
cident on lhat road, on ihe 1 8lh, have pub
lished a card in ihe National Intelligencer,
giving their views as to the cause of lhat
accident. The publication is made from
a sense of duty to the public. And il may
be attended with salutary results, for the
public to know that twenty-four of the
passengers in the cars at the time of that
accident, have under iheir proper signa
tures, declared it as their opinion, nay,
stronger than that their "firm convic
tion, that the accident which resulted
in
the total breaking up of the engine, ten
der, and train of cars, producing a General
wreck, from which ihe passengers seem to
have escaped "only by the intervention of
divine Providence," was occasioned by the
great and unusual speed at which the train
was propelled, adding to the want of pru
deuce and discretion in the officers. The!
train set ofTlrom Richmond at a very rapid
and unusual speed; and after passing the
first watering place, ihe speed was yet far
ther increased, so much so as lo excite
alarm. In a few minutes after, such was
its velocity, that it ran off the rails with a
terrible crash, making complete work ol
all the cars, except the passenger, which
escaped with comparatively little injury;
certainly not by the good management of
those in charge of the engine. The acci
dent occurred in a deep cut; had the cars
been thrown off at any other point, the
passengers stale that tolal destruction
would have been inevitable.
The (wo Dead Bodies. The two ne
groes found in a cask al Burling slip, and
dfsiiued for Charleston, S. C. were females
of about the age of from 20 to 35. The
gentleman in a "blue coal" who delivered
ihe cask, resembled, the carlman said, a
physician how ? Said cartman told the
captain of ihe vessel he presumed the con
tents were "southern pork" not bad.
The examination of ihe iwo bodies show ed
the individuals had not died a violent
death, nor been Burad.

Extensive Roguery prevented. The po
lice officers of New York have lately ap
prehended three rogues in lhat city, who
were carrying on a very deep game of vil
lany. Il appears that they presented lo
Messrs. Gurley h Burton, bank note en
gravers of New York, a forged letter, pur
porting to be from the cashier of ihe
Bank of Kentucky, in which they were
requested to print a large number of "ihe
notes of that bank from the plates deposi
ted in the Union Bank of New York, for
which plates a forged order was presented.
The plates were procured and notes print
ed lo the amount of $370f000. Inforrna-
tion, however, was communicated lo the
police by a young associate of these
rogues, whose remorse of conscience in
duced him loquit their company, and their
arrest soon followed. The printed notes
were also secured in the hands of the en
gravers. Another person belonging to
the same gang, who had procured a num
ber of notes of ihe "Farmers' and Median-j
ios' Bank of Wisconsin Territory," left
New York before the police could arrest'
him. Rait. Jlmer.
(T7A Paris Journal has the following
interesting account of an event which befel
M. Desnamps, a wealthy inhabitant of
Lyons.
"He fell into such a state of lethargy
on Friday, the 27th Nov. that his friends
believed him lo be dead, and proceeded to
the preliminaries for his interment. The
coffin w as brought, and his body placed in
it. The funeral was lo lake place on the
Saturday; the cortege was assembled and
ihe undertaker was on ihe point of placing
on the lid, and screwing it down, when the
supposed defunct suddenly roused from a
mere lethargy into which he had fallen,
rose up and expressed a desire for some
thing to eal. A sudden panic for a time
paralyzed all present, but the sound of the
voice dissipated iheirTeais, and every at
tention was immediately paid him. He
dared lhat he had been conscious of all
that was going on, but was unable to
make the least movement. He was soon
so tar recovered as to give assurance of
many years of renewed life and activity."

The Death of Col WW In out hur

stance connected witli the horrid affair,

pleasant subject. .WTe neglected-staling
that Col. Ward was about to marry itis

rately hostile, thinking it to be a disgrace
to their family', and being unable lo prevent
the union by mild means, adopted the
most hellish one registered in the catalogue
of crime; ibey are probably palliating cir
cumstances connected with the dreadful,
deed, but none that cau render the perpe
trators guiltless of imbruing their hands in
the blood of a near and dear relative an ;
uncle, who had been to them a father in
every lie of kindness, and towards whom
they had seemed devotedly attached. The
assertion in our former remarks that ihe
tragedy was from "motives of gain," we
think to be unwarranted. The reward fcr
their apprehension is increased to $4000.

town, left with their families in the night,
and others of the faithful are following.
The 'Reformers' are in possession of the
