SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1833. (QO n Monday last, Messrs. Edwin Barnes, Jonathan Ellis, Amos Wootcn, Robert W. Barnes, Redding Pitman, Jo seph J. Pippen, and Cofficld King, were elected Wardens of the Poor of this county, for the ensuing three years. (J'We learn that on Friday the 6th inst. between G and 700 barrels of Turpen tine were destroyed by fire at Hamilton, in Martin county. Mr. C. . Hassell lost about 325 barrels, Messrs. L. Johnson & Co. 250, Gabriel Purvis 94, John Rest 90, &c. The fire occurred about noon, through the carelessness of a negro dropping a coal on the landing, which being coated to the depth of about 6 inches with turpentine, the fire made such rapid progress as to de fy all attempts to extinguish it. The scene is represented to have been truly terrific, the blaze ascending to double the height of the tallest trees. (QWc learn that the Post Oflicc at Rensborough, Pitt county, has been remov ed to Falkland, on the other side of Tar river, and Mr. James Cobb appointed Post Master. Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated, ffashingion City, ISth April, 1S3S. It is said hereto-day, that the Rank San hedrim at New York, sitting in secret ses sion, has fixed upon the lstday of January next for payment. It wants confirmation. Biddle is roasting them in fine style, and they deserve it well for their condescension to go to him to ask what they shall do. "Why did they not pay? We arc on the Cumberland road, and hope to break it down. All is uncertainty about the Sub-! treasury ; we have not yet reached it, and may not for some time. Wc have several appropriation bills yet to pass. There arc rumors about changes in the Cabinet. There will be some changes about the rise. Mr. Poinsett is recovering, but is weak and without any constitution, and will be compelled to retire, and leave this climate or die. We have gained upon the Whigs in New York city, and have scared them nearly all to death, and we will certainly carry that Stale next fall in the Congres sional elections and Assembly, largely. The North eastern States, by the addition of the Abolitionists to the Whig ranks, will go against us. How will our Whigs get along with the Abolitionists by their side ? Elections. The Whigs have carried the day in the Charter elections, in the city of New York, but by a much diminished majority. They rc-clected the Mayor by a plurality of 282 voles, and their tickets in 0 out of the 17 wards. L.ist vrnr thov elected Clark, .Mayor, by a plurality of o no . , . , .1 1 . votes anu earned Li out ot the 17 wards. The Whigs have succeeded in electing their candidate for Governor in Connecti cut, by a majority of between 5 and G000 votes. The Hon. Edward Robinson (Whig) is elected to Congress, in the place of Mr. Cillcv, from Maine. Hank Convention. The Convention of Rank delegates assembled in the city of New York, on the 1 1 lb inst. On the open ing of the Convention 143 delegates from IS different States were present, but this number was subsequently increased. The officers of the convention are, Samuel Hub bard, of Roston, President; John A. Rock well, of Connecticut, and II. M. Rrent, of Virginia, Secretaries. A Committee of one from each State was appointed, to whom the whole subject of resumption was referred. The report of the Committee designated the 1st of Oc tober next as the day of general resump tion, leaving it open to any State or any bank to resume before that period at its pleasure. On this report the votes in Com mittee were 13 to 5. The Journal of Commerce of Saturday, 2 P. M. says: "The Rank Convention is still in session, talking. No vote yet ta ken." 3 The American says : -It is immaterial to New York what disposition is made of the procrastinating expedient, for she must and will resume next month; and we haz ard Imle in saying, that her resumption will induce that of other cities long before the first of October." CONGRESS. ! The Committee of the Senate, appointed to investigate the charge brought against Mr. Ruggles, of Maine, have reported that there is not sufficient evidence to sustain the allegation preferred by Henry C. Jones, the accuser. The bill, for the suspension of Duelling in the District, has passed the Senate, with but one dissenting voice Mr. Sevier, of Arkansas. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Hamer introduced the follow ing, which was ordered to bo printed: Considering that the business, commerce, circulation and exchanges of the country arc in a dangerous and embarrassed condi tion, and considering that a part of the Ranks of the United Stairs have expressed a desire to resume specie payments at an early period. Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Stales of America in Congress assembled, that n the Ranks or a portion of them, do thus resume, it will be the duty of the General Govern ment, within the limits of its constitution al authority, to aid such banks in regaining public confidence, and to sustain them in their laudable ellons to mini tneir obliga tions to relieve the wants of the community, and to restore to the public a sound cireu ting medium. On motion of Mr. C. Shcpard, the chart of Gore sound, North Carolina, was order ed to be lithographed on-a reduced scale. PUBLIC LANDS. The bill to provide for the reduction and graduation of the price of the public lands, passed the Senate on the 1 3th inst. by a vote of 27 to 1G. As the bill is of "the highest interest and importance, especially to the citizens of the new Slates-, we sub join a copy of it. The following was the vote on its passage : YEAS Messrs. Allen, Ronton, Clay of Alabama, Cuthlu rt, Fulton, Grumlv, Hub bard, King, Linn, Lumpkin, Lyon, Mon ton, Nicholas, Niks, NorveM, Pierce, Robinson, Sevier, Smith of Connecticut, Smith of Indiana, Strange, Tipton, Trot ter, Walker, While, Wright, ami Young 27.

He it enacted by the Senate and House of u-prescnatires of the United States of America in Congress assem bled, That from and after the thirty-first day of December, in the year eighteen hundred and thirty-eight, all the public lands of the United States which shall then remain unsold, after having been offered at private sale, at one dollar and twenty five cents per acre, for live yens, shall be subject to entry at one dollar pvracre; a-ud all lands which shall have been so offered for ten years, shall be subject to entry at one dollar per acre for twelve mouths after the siid thirty-first day of December, eigh teen hundred and thirty-eight, and alter that time the same shall be subject to entry at the price of seventy-five cents per acre;! Prodded, That no one person, under the j provisions of this act, shall bo authorized ' to purchase more than one section; Provi ded, also, That no one shall be prohibited from entering any quantity , as heretofore, of the lands embraced by this act, at the l,icc ot" onc;A " 'Per acre. Globe. and twentv-hve cents per From the National Intelligencer. Important Military Intelligence. We learn that the President of the United States, by and with the advice of the Se nate, has conferred the Rrevet of Rrigadier General on the gallant Colonel Taylor, of the First Regiment of Infantry , for his me ritorious conduct in the last action with the Florida Indians. Since learning the above appointment, we have been enabled to lay before our rea ders the following important General Or der : GENERAL ORDERS, No. 7. Head Quarters of the Army. Adjutant General's Ofjice, Washington, April 10, 1838. I Major General Jesup having report ed that the operations in Florida will have terminated by the 1st of May, and that a portion of the troops will be disposable, the following arrangements will be carried into effect as soon thereafter as practicable. II The 1st and 6lh regiments of Infan try, the six companies of the 2d Infantry, and four companies of the 2d Dragoons, will constitute the regular force lo remain in Horida, with as many companies of the volunteers or militia of the Territory as the ollicer remaining in command may deem necessary. The three companies of the Gih Infantry, now in Louisiana, will forthwith join the Head Quarters of the re giment at Tampa Ray. Ill The four regiments of Artillery, the 4th regiment of Infantry, six compa nies of the 2d Dragoons, and the detach ment of Marines, will repair to the Chero kee country by the most convenient and expeditious routes from the several points at which they may be found on the receipt of this order. The troops as far as prac ticable, will move by regiments, and be accompanied by all the officers belonging to each. Should any of the companies or- dercd to the Cherokee country occupy sta-i tions in Florida from which they should not be immediately withdrawn, Ihcy will continue in position until they can be re lieved by the troops designated to remain in the territory; after which they will fol low their regiments without delay, it being important to concentrate the companies of each regiment. IV Two Surgeons, and as many As sistants as the service may require, will be retained in rlonda, to be selected from those who have served the shortest period in the Territory. All other officers of the Medical Staffwill proceed with the troops ordered to the Cherokee country. V Maior General Jcsun will take all the nccesary measures for the prompt exe cution of this order, and will then turn over the command of the troops in Florida to Rrevet Rrigadier General Z. Taylor, Col. of the 1st Infantry; and on being relieved, he will repair to the seat of Government, and resume the duties of Quartermaster Ge neral. VI The officers at the heads of the se veral branches of the Staff will make the necessary arrangements for moving and supplying the troops on their routes to their destination, and for the service in which they are to be employed. -VII Major General Scott is assigned to the immediate command of the troops or dered to the Cherokee country, and the di rection of affairs in that quarter. The commanders- of regiments and detachments will report to his Head Quarters, at Athens, iii Tennessee, or wherever else they may be established at the time. Rv order of Alexander Macomb, Major General Commanding-in-Chief: R. JONES, Adj. Gen. Important f om Florida Capture of oOO Indians confirmed, Ry thy sleam packet from Charleston, we have our files to TueV'd.iy afternoon, containing news fiom Riack Creek, Florida to April 4ih, and from Si. Augustine to the Gih, by which wc have confirmed the news given yesterday of the capture of 500 Io lians near Fort Jupiter. They had neglected to nunc in lo 1 lie council agreed upon for March i.'0ih, and Gen. Jesup observing appearances of their intended fight, order ed Col. Twiggs to surround them with his drigoons, which- was accomplished succtrs.s lully the next day without any bloodshed. There were upwards of 500 men, wo men and children, and among them over over 150 warriors. in addition to these there were taken 159 negroes, abeut 40 of whom arc capable of bearing arms. So G n. J. 's operations in the vicinity of Jupi ter Inlet, have resulted in securing up wards ot GOO prisoners, ami silencing near 200 rifles. Gen. Jesup was preparing to push on to uniie vith Col. Rankhead, who was in full pursuit of Sam Jones. A' Y. Star. Ilaleigh Gaston Hail Road. We learn from the Petersburg Intelligencer, that t lie bridge at Gaston is completed, and that the road will be completed as far as Chalk Level by J u 1 y . Ra I. St a r. 5JInashort time the Richmond and Petersburg, and Petersburg and City Point Rail Roads will be completed, and in full, and, wc doubt not, successful operation. Petersburg will then have three Rail Roads entering her borders from difierent points. Pel. Int. The Abduction Case. The abduction case at Erie proves to have been, as we ex pected, an elopement, rather than outrage. The parties were overhauled at Ashtabula, wc believe, by the steamboat Jefferson, in season to prevent the nuptials of the fair heiress with the chivalrous eaptain. Buffalo N. Y.) Adv.
