SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1S3S. Extract of a Letter to the Editor, dated; Washington City, June 5th. Sir: We are busily engaged in busi ness and have a fist fight, "as you will,'' occasionally. Our prospects for the pass age of the Sub treasury bill are still bet ter, and iv e now think we will pass it, ac cidents excepted. Diddle has been at his' driven" into resumption, without a Nation al Dank; all his allies must now follow, and a general resumption will soon lake place. There is now no excuse for the North Carolina banks, they said they would resume w hen New York and Phila delphia did. I would suppose they had speculated long enough on our good mo ne', they should now pay us what they owe us. The contest for President is now fairly between Van Duren and Clay. The Dank Abolitionists are for Clay. How will our Whigs get al?ng? Will they join in their ranks? We expect to adjourn about 4th of July. Yours, &c. FOU THE TAKBORO TRESS. ilir. Editor: I see that the article con taining some inquiries relative to the next election for Governor, has produced some tn'ghty fluttering among the wounded pi geons. They were plain questions and admitted of plain answers, but not one sin gle answer has been given to any of them. JNI r. Justice (should have had In, added to his name, so as to have made it Injustice,) refers to the act, pnge 167, Laws, whicli he had read, no doubt; that act says, that the sum of S100.000, shall be set apart for the contingent expenses of Govern ment, if the same shall be deemed necessa ry and requisite. Clearly giving the dis cretion to (he Governor, and the Gover nor, in the Comptroller's statement, says to us over his own name, that he has put it down for that purpose, without saying what made it requisite and necessary. And Mr. Justice says, "that the intimation that Si 00,000 was set apart, by the will and act of the Governor, lias not even the shadow of truth about it." What will a man not deny, that will thus misrepre sent? It is the practice of some men, when they are caught at one falsehood to resort to another to cover it; as Justice has not an swered a single question asked, and evi dently intends to evade them all by mis statements, and as the Laws and Govern or's own statement hate convicted him of falsehood in the onset, until the questions are answered I do not feel bound to notice him. Let him come out and answer the plain question, what made it "necessary and requisite" for the Governor to set a part the $100,000 to meet the contingen cies of the year, over and above the ordi nary expenditure?? It is quite easy, Mr. Editor, for some men to twist themselves out of difficulties by withholding facts. 1 hope ami trust that the people will compel their candi dates this summer for the Assembly, to in quire into w hat the last Assembly done with our money, as no satisfactory answer can he gotten from those in whose hands it was Itlt. What was done with one and a half millions paid North Carolina from the General Government, that every farmer's property in the State is bound as security for, and not one dollar of which has been permitted to circulate among we the peo ple? Who has the money? and, what se curity have we the people for it? These are questions that have been often asked of them that did know, and were bound to answer, and thev have not done so: and we may infer that they are afraid to come out and tell us the whole truth about it. It all is right, it is easy to say so by publish ing a copy of the security that has been taken for the people's money; that would put all mystery and doubts to rest. No, this is only to be known by a few Dank men, who vail all things before the people w.iue they speculate on their money. How many nun in iorth Carolina can tell what was done with their money sent them by ...v, V..VK.1 vjuvernmeuir now many men know that their property was by tl lese late members made bound as security for a million and a half of money, and that locked up when we sufiV.ed most for it; and while we were suffering Tor good mo ney, others were shaving us with our own by the : acts of the last Assembly. And a man that dares call upon a few leaders that have had unusual power vested in them for facts, must be treated like a pick pocket. 1 tell these would be lords, that their days will soon be numbered when ever the curtain is hoisted and the people can le the split font. They may stave off a while and deceive the people, but not long. 1 ' ft? We learn from the last North Caro-j Una Jourual, published at Fayelleville, that that staunch Democratic paper has been transferred by Messrs. Ilybart h Strange to P. Gallagher, Esq., "a gentle man of great experience and high qualifi cations in the management and conduct of an independent press. Mr. G. is a deci ded Democratic Republican in principle, and consequently the Journal will undergo no change in its political bearing." Or-We have received the first two nutn hers of a neat little paner, called "The Microcosm," published at Kaleigh b .Master Leonidas 13. Lemay, It is printed weekl', in quarto form, at $1 50 per an num. "Although small, it contains world' of matter. It Is devoted to the flowers of Literature, original and selected; to notices of important improvements in any of the branches of Science, Commerce and Agriculture; to general News; and to die particular honor and inieicsts of IWrih Carolina. It eschews party politico and all the muddy streams of angry controver sy upon every subject." These aie the prominent features of the Prospectus, and it must be conceded that they are equally attractive and unexceptionable. The youthful publisher has our best w ishes for his success. We copy the following flat tering testimonial in his favor from the last Raleigh Register: The Microcosin This is the title of a Juvenile paper, which has jusl made Ms ap pearance in this City, published by an in teresting little son of ourfiiend Lenny, of the "Star," who, though but nine years of age, has a practical knowledge of the art of Printing, and is the chief operative in preparing the matter for his paper. It is very neatly printed, and doerves pat- asked lor; aiid in aeqaiesctuce to the rc ronage as well on account of the chaste que&t, it has been given. ib. style of its articles, J having nothing of the vaporous contents whicli usually fill Ro's papers) as of the praise-worthy motives which gave birth to the undertaking. We should think that in a family, w here there are children, a copy or two would be worth ten times the subscription price, in encour aging a love for reading, and in imparling that kind of knowledge which is only to be obtained from the columns of a news paper. We refer the reader to the Pro spectus in this paper, and hope this "litile World" may long flourish to tender to the World at large, on each returning New Year, the compliments of the season. CONGRESS. In the Senate, Mr. Morris laid on the table a resolution to adjourn 2nd July, to meet on the 2nd Monday in November next. Mr. Wright has made a long report on the subject of Mr. Webster's resolution; from which it appears thai li e majori'.y ol the committee consider it compettnt in the Secretary of the Treasury boih louse as depositories, and to receive the notes ol banks that had merely suspended specie payments, but to do ut itherin regaid to such banks as, at any time since July 4, 1S3G, had issued any notes ol a denomina tion less than five dollars. In the House of Representatives, Mr, Cambreleng has given notice that he will soon call up the sub-treasury bill. A bill has passed both Houses for divi ding the Wisconsin Territory, and creating out of it a new Territorial Government, to be called the Territory of Iowa. The joint resolution for surveys on the Lakes and in the waters of North Caroli na, has passed the House of Representa tives. Increase of Revenue in North Carolina. The Comptroller, William F. Collins, Esq. informs us that Hardy Bryant, Esq. Clerk of Jones County Court, has made his annual report on the revenue of his county, under the new assessment law pass ed at the last session of I lie General As sembly, from which report it appears that there has been a general increase of taxa ble properly, when contrasted with the last year's report; more especially in that of Real Estate and Town Property. The increase is upwards of $100,000 in favor of the new law. Jones county is small in territory, but the lands are rich and va luable. (I7The Comptroller requests us to say to the different Clerks of the counties of this State, that he would be glad to receive their reports at as early a day as practica hie, as there have been many inquiries ad dressed to him on the subject of the reve nue, under the new act of assessment. Raleigh Standard. fcfOar worthy friend, Joseph W. Hampton, Esq. has resigned his post as editor of the Western Carolinian. It will in future be conducted by Mr. Benjamin Austin and Mr. Charles F. Fisher. ib. ff?We have received from a gentleman in this town the following interesting item: Sailed from Beaufort, ship Napoleon, having on board 1,907 bales cotton and $90 barrels turpentine; the largest cargo, we believe, ever shipped in one vessel from N. C . Washington Whig. Raleigh,June 11. The Supreme Court of the State, meets in this Lity to day. lieg. Four persons who have been in the em ploy of the Messrs. Childs as laborers on the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road, were committed to Jail in Oxford, Granville Co., on Thursday last, charged with at tempting to take the life of one of their em ployers Their names are Abbott, McGill, Card, and Pearson. ib. Liberal Donations. We perceive that Judge Cameron, of this City, has given $100 to the Charleston sutterers; and another gentleman from North Carolina, whose name is not mentioned, has forward ed 5U0. ib. Abolition. The New York annual CouJeicnce of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at its recent session, suspended two of their members for taking part in an Abolition Convention at Ulica; parsed re solutions reprobating the "Ziou's Watch man" on account wi its schismalical and abolition character; forbid their memb r attending Anti-slavery Conventions; an ! recommend the American Colonization So ciety to lite patronage of the Church. ib. OCChancellor ivtni has appeared with his opinion, in an article ol great length, in the New York American, indirect opposi tion to that of Judge McKiuley, given al Mobile, upon the inability of a corporation cieated by one Slate to enter into contracts out ol the jurisdiction ol the pow er thai created it. This decision has astonished the public generally, as well as the leai fraternity.

Unjuiralled Spred between Wilnvnton and Chai l' ston. The Steam Boat "North Carolina,'' Capt. T. J. Ivy, left Wilming ton l r Charleston at half past 4 o'clock on the morning of the 5ih inst. reached Chaileston at G o'clock, l. M. same da, and was at the wharf in Wilmington at 10 o'clock on Wedncday the Gth, making 201 hours from Wilmington to Charleston and bat k. The whole distance is variously estima ted from 3u0 to 320 miles, which was run by the Noith Carolina, over a rough sea in 27 hours tk'diu ting 2 hours the time she stopped in Charleston from 29. Wilmington Adv. IVorthy of j Vote Since the Steamboat North Carolina has been running, be tween Wilmington anil Charleston, she has made ninety-two trips, has never losi a trip, and never exceeded her time but twice. Facts like these will tend more to recommend this line to travellers than all the promises that can be made on paper. Let the Company be true to themselves, and the stream of travel cannot be divert ed from this its naluial channel. ib. Gen. Jcsup. The Northern papers state lhat a Military Court of Inquiry is shortly to assemble at Frederick, Aid. to investigate the conduct of Gen. Jesup, as commanding General in Florida. This report is strengthened by the arrival of Gen. J. and several other officers of the Army at Charleston, on their way north. Fayetleville Obs vX?"A letter has beei: found in George town, D C. addressed by one colored man to another, making certain incendiary ar rangements, which caused considerable excitement, and the arrest and commitment of two or three. Rai. Star. More disturbance on the Canada Fron tier. Rythe Rochester Democrat of Mon day, we learn that the steamboat Tele graph, which left Oswego the Saturday evening previous, touched at Prescoit, and arrived at Rroekvillc at 9 A. M. After taking in her passengers at the lower wharf an unarmed mob came on board and ran sacked the cabins, and soon after passing the upper wharf the Captain was hailed to "come too," but fearing all was not right he dropped down to within 20 feet of the dock, directing the passengers to come on board in the small boat. The captain now refused to land and got under weigh, when twenty muskets were fired upon him, and four balls entered the ladies' cabin. The men who fired are said to have been the guard called out by the authorities. We are pleased to learn lhat the firing into the Steamboat Telegraph at Brock vdle, Canada, is not followed by any un pleasant consequences. There were, it is said, only ivvo men who fired, and those were arrested by the people on ihe wharf. They belonged to a party of volunteers, and the Captain of the company followed the Telegraph ioto Kingston, and explain-1 ed satisfactorily the whole atiair to me Captain of the Telegraph. JY.Y. Star. Another Rumour. A correspondent e Albany Evening Journal, at WaK ol the Albany Evening Journal, at Water- town, mentions that a rumor had reached there that the Steamboat William IV. was burnt the evening previous, but was not fu!lv credited. 1 he District Attorney wa taking measures to secure all the persons engaged in the burning ol the Sir hoiieri ee and that the milim were called out to assist. The Rochester Democrat states, that a band of men hud gathered on the Canada side on Friday, for the purpose of inarch ing into Toronto to destroy the steamboat Oswego; but were prevented by the proper authorities, and the guards on the wharves doubled. From the A". Y. Express, of June 9. Important from Canada. By the North ern mail of hist evening, we have Montreal papers to the Gth, and Quebec of the4th. The greatest excitement prevails. Sir John Colborne arrived in Montreal on Tucsd ly, with several officers of the army, and left immediately for Upper Canada. The Herald sas: "His Excellency will inspect Fort Henry and give the necessary orders for erecting fortifications along the f rontier, in case of a general war, now be coming more probable every day." From the Globe. We understand that as soon as the War Department learned that serious apprehen sions were entertained of disorders being committed on the Northern frontier by the Canadians who had taken refuge within -u b trilers, and who have lately shame fully abused the hospitality extended to itit-m, the most prompt measures were ta ken to biing theie whatever regular troops could be drawn from other stations with out imminent risk to the interests of the pub lic servue. From the temper displayed by many of our citizens 011 the Canada borders, and from the efforts to be appre hended from the Canadian refugees to re establish their fortunes, a large regular lorce is required on that frontier to preserve (he good faith and maintain the peace of the country; and it is a subject of deep re gret lhat there should have been so much delay in the House in bringing forward the bill, which has twice passed the Senate, to increase the military force of ihe United Slates, and reported favorably upon by the Military Committee of ihe House. All who look at the defenceless state of our frontiers must be convinced of the absolute and immediate necessity of the passage of this bill. Not only is it demanded by a due regard for the safety and honor of the country, but it is recommended by every consideration of enlightened economy. To be compelled on every trifling outbreak to authorize the employment of volunteers, occasions an expenditure of money which, in the most ample state of the Treasury, cannot fail to be burdensome; and which, under present circumstances, is ruinous. Ii is, besides, drawing from their agricultural pursuits a large body of our most useful citizens, for the performance of duties ex tremely onerous to them and injurious to tlie best interests of the nation. It is, there fore, to be hoped that an early day will be devoted to the consideration of this most important subject. Chcrokces in Georgia. The Milledge ville Recorder of the 5lh inst. states lhat, by the successful operations of Gen. Soit, "without the shedding of a single drop of blood, there remains not a single Indian in Georgia, except those who are in tbe keep ing of the army, and ready for instant re moval to their home in the West." Alabama. This State, a few years ago, did not produce more than 10,000 bales of Cotton per annum.
