SATUROW, SEPT'H 8, 1833. fCpOur election returns are not yet com plete, consequently we are compelled to defer until another number the of mem bers elect to the next General Assembly, v)so the voles for Governor in the different counties. (J3The Washington Whig is informed, that Democratic Republicans desire neither part ner lot in Whig "swine," above or be low, behind or before, inside or out. But we feci anxious to know the whole particulars respecting the aforesaid "pig's tail," which was so carefully slowed away in the gig box of a provident Whig, as it is conjec tured, to gratify "hungry expectants The details would unquestionably form an amusing addenda, or supplement, to the description of the glorification dinner at Pnctolus. The worthy Editor of (he Whig surelv will hot permit this searching inci dent to pass unnoticed. (Jjtn the account of our Slate elections last week, we mentioned that II Clay, Jr. was defeated in his attempt to obtain a seat in the Legislature of Kentucky this is contradicted by the Whig papers, which state that he was elected by a large majori ty of votes. pWe see there is some liltlc differ ence in ihe calculations of the Federal edi tors. The Salisbury Watchman reduces the opposition majority to two in the Sen ile but still claims 14 on joint ballot. Bv the way, we never said that Dr. Holt, of Davidson, is opposed to a National Bank, and can have committed no error in this re spect. We expressed a belief that Mr. Carson, of Rutherford, was so opposed, and we believe so still. The federalists will find themselves "wofully mistaken,' on the meeting of the Legislature. Raleigh Standard. Instruction to Senators. The federal presses art1 beginning to talk about instruct ing our Senators if they can; and to dis cuss the propriety of their resigning in case of being instructed. We have no fears for Messrs. Brown and Strange; if they ore instructed they will obey or re sign; fortius is their doctrine, and the doc trine of the Democratic Republican party. They will need no monitions from unprin cipled men, who deny the right of instruc tion and yet declare that it should be exer cised for party purposes, ib. 83 It will be. reco'.le ted that when the wings" of North Carolina offered Judge While to the people as a candidate for the Presidency; they declared him to be a friend of Geo. Jackson, and a supporter of his measures. In some parts of the Stale this gross deception had the intended effect. The democratic republican papers have not failed, from time to time, to expose this vile electioneering trick; and the people mav judge how far they were .right, from the fact, that Judge White, at a public din ner recently given at Kooxville to him and John Bell, avowed his determination to support Henry Clay for the next Presi dent. Will not Republican IVhite-men now see the imposition, and discard their betrayers? This was but one of the thou sand tricks of federalism. ib. Government Bank. -Oae of the meth ods by which the public mind had been de luded on the subject of the Independent Treasury, U the outcry about a Govern ment Bank. This is the chief argument, or rattier pretence, of Mr. Chi) , although formerly in favor of t he Independent Trea sury, when ne declared that the Govern meut rould net ahum j si as well without the aid of banks Taking (tie key note from tbeir worthy leader, every puny Whig paper and Federal whipster, repeat the cry Until, by mere dint of perseverance, an impression is made upon the p -ipular mind. Nothing ran be tun e absurd than this no tion f a (Jovernint nt Bank. It is the province, or rather the distinctive charac teristic of a bank, to receive money on deposite; to discount; to deal in exchanges; and to issuo u currency nominally re deemable in sptfrie. Now, which of these features is to he found in the scheme of an Independent Treasury? Not one. If to receive and disburse m oiey without the agency of another, constitute a banker, then is every merchant and tradesman, and even independent proprietor, a bank er. Is it the temporary issue of Treasury notes that makes a bank of the Govern m?nif Then is every man who gives his noie f.ir six or twelve months a hanker. This case is rjear. The government, with plenty of mean in the hands of others the banks and the merchants- -grants them a liberal indulgence; and to enable it do so, issues its own notes, bearing interest, payable within twelve months, aud receiva- ble for public dots, in preference to estab lish.og a new funded debt.- Those very obliged and accommodated persons then turn' round, load it with obloquy for its kindness, endeavor to depreciate its notes, and repeat the cuckoo cry of Government Bank, which they have caught from their unscrupulous master. If Mr. Clay had any respect fur . bis intellect, or any con science in his means, he would scorn to descend to any such low arts of deception; nr.li moss fraud upon prejudice and igno rance. He would not insult God and man by hvprorrilical protestations of gratitude to. Heaven, thai the. 'Administration has been defeated in its project of a Govern meut Bank." Globe. From the Milton Spectator. DEMOCRATIC - REPUBLICAN .MEETING.

Fire About 1 o'clock on Wednesday morning last, our citizens were ro;ied from their beds by the cry of li r ! Ti-e Eire was found to proceed from a two stor wooden building, in the. rear of Mr. Svl- i vester Smith, Merchant Tailor, on Fay eiteville Street, and occupied by I mn as a work shop and dormitory for his appren tices. It was communicated from a shed attached to the building, which contained a Stove for the use of the Shop. It was with some diffiulty, that the bos tfl'-ii ed their escape from (he building, so rapid was the progress of the -(lames. Ii was entirely destroyed, together with a quan tity of work in the process of making up, and a considerable stork of Bacon in the basement story. Fortunately, however, the night was calm, and Ihe progress ol the dames was arrested without further dam age. Rol. litg. Slate Race Course. An association, for ihe improvement of the breed of Horses, has been recently formed in ibis City, of which Gen. Beverley Daniel is President, Uoberl VV. Haywood, Vice President, Win H. Hnlloman " Secretary and David McDaniel, Treasurer and Proprietor. Ar raiigements have been made for a Fall Meeting, the particulars of which will be found in this paper. The Purses will he equal to those of almost any Jockey Club in ihe United States, and from the loca tion of the Track, and the fine order in which it will always be found (the soil being of that kind not easily affected by ihe weather) we anticipate with some con fidence that it will speedily berome the Centra) Uace Course of the fJn.ion.T-t6. Our Univenify. Soon after our late Commencement, a notice of it appeared in the Hillsboro' Becorder, from ihe pen of a Correspondent windi escaped our no tice at the lime. It has just come under our observation, and we cannot lorbear the pleasure of extracting from it the follow- . i. . . i i iug interesting paragrapn, lauiug mc oc casion to express our most ardent hopes that the Societies will lend their hearty co operation to carry into effect the sugges tion of Judge Uaslou w. "Judge Gaston, Chairman of the Com mittee, whose business it was to examine the report of the F acuity on the doings ol ihe session, submitted an interesting report which was unanimously accepted. The action of the Faculty was sustained and r om mended in every par it ular The dis cipline was represented as mild, yet (inn. The Committee expressed great regrel at finding one case of discipline- for intemper ance, and the honourable Judge comment ed in terms al once forcible and appropri ate, on the "mean" vice of drunkenness. A most admirable suggestion vvfjs delicate ly made m the two Literary So ieties, with a view 10 banish forever from the institu tion n vitH tqmilly' destructive of initial and literary cxctUein e and alike incom patible with the character of ihe scholar and ihe gentleni an. Should the Societies adopt the suggestion, the obj ci would be accomplished at once. The censuie of ihe Faculty and Trustees has compara lively little (error; brtt the ban of the liter ary Societies is as terrible to the student, as was ihe papal bull of excommunication some centuries ago to the Catholic subject. Mosi sincerely do I hope, and in this hope I mi sure all ihe Patents and Guardians nl the students concur with me, that ihe two bodies will act upon Judge Gaston's sug uesliou. Should they resolve th ..I no stu lent guihy of intoxication, or of having spiiits in his room, should be admitted to membership, and that any member guiliv of the like .(fence should be expelled, my word lor il we should never hear ol a Iruukt ii frolic in College. .M v " n col lege leminix dices in 'he me tremble (or my son; and do not many lathei $ tremble with aii? What power, lor weal or wo, lo not these two societies wu hlf Mow great is their responsibility ! Will they not nobly m et it, and acquit themselves like men?

I'he gentleman who found it engraved the initials of his name and the year and set il at liberty lo pursue iis peregrinations. ib. From Florida By accounts from Si. Mary's, Geo. to August 19ih, we learn that while four wagg us, under a corporal and IG men, were proceeding from Kettle Creek, they were attacked, 13 miles from ( 'entreville, by CO or 70 Indians, and de feated, w iih ihe loss of the corporal, killed, and two privates mortally wounoed; three of ihe waggons lefi on the road, and five mules killed. Maj. Deai born, with a troop of horse, proceeded to i lie spot the next day found no Indians, but buried the corpoial. EpThe Pawtucket (R. I.) Gazette gives an animating account of the revival of bu siness at that place. All the mills, save one, are in operation; a number of new mills are going up; as many operatives as ever are employed, and the face of society wears its wonted cheerfulness. The first cotton mill in the United States was built at Pawtucket, and is still in full operation. (jpSome negroes engaged in grading a street in Norfolk, that passes through an old grave yard discovered a coffin, and near it an old trunk, containing a bundle of paper money, Which, on being exposed, crumbled into dust, and a quantity of gold coin, bearing date 1758, supposed to have been deposited there during the revolution. The amount has not been ascertained, but is believed lo be considerable. Iialeigh Star. Counterfeit Coins.

The Nashville Banner of Aug. 22d, con irrQthf official documents of Gen. Gaines in reference to the supposed intention of the Cherokces in Arkansas to assemble a council of all the Western tribes to com mence war on our border. The Banner, howc cr, thinks the intentions of the Coun cil arc most probably peaceable. The let ter of Gen. Gaines, St. Louis, Aug. 8, transmits to Gov. Cannon, of Tennessee, one from Lt. Col. Mason, commanding Fort Leavenworth, dated July 28, stating positively the projected assemblage on the Illinois "river, above Barren Fork, on Sept. 11. Col. Mason thinks the object is to strike a blow on the entire western border from Red River to the upper Mis sissippi. Gen. G. believes the Chcrokees are instigated by Mexican agents, and com pules the Indian force that may be brought into the field at 20,000, and thinks the whole sugar, and cotton, and grain country from the Sabine to the falls of the St. An thony is exposed to destruction. The General therefore believes 5000 mounted Kentuckiansand Tennesscans are required, in addition to the 1st U. S. Dra goons and other troops there, immediately, and before the enemy arc concentrated. He calls on Gov. Cannon for volunteer companies to be ready to march Sept. 1, and if the Indians unite he thinks he will require from 3 to 5000 men from Tennes see. He writes lo the Secretary of War thai if he can obtain 10,000 from Kentucky and Tennessee, be will attend the council with them. Gov. Cannon replies Aug. 20 that he will send promptly any number of men required, ami that it will be difficult to restrain the ardor of the Tennesscans. A". K Star. IHsiug of the Indians ll'tst, confirmed The St. L mis. Bulletin of the IGiii has the following : By a oentleman who arrived yesterday from Fort Leavenworth, we are informed that the Sioux Indians made an attack on (he Kt kapoos, and that a dt-lachmeul ol troops had been sent from the port to Ihe scene of action lo quell the marauders. As ilu-ise skirmishes aie of frequent occur rence among the Indian?, no serious rou- s quences were apprehended; but news of much more serious aspect bad just reach ed the fort. The Indians along the fron tier were arraying theinelies against the whites, and Hie wampum was passing among the different tribes. This is gene rally eut to tl le various tribes when thev wish to bring about a general war with the w hitcs. CJSi rangers fever is now prevailing extensively at Charleston, S. C. according to the Courier, ihe Editor of which paper has been seriously ill w ith it. h is a high ly malignant billious fever, owing to ihe extreme heat of I lie weather, in addition to cellars (tiled with water in houses de stroyed by the great Sre, and other local exciting causes. (J We have further and more distress ing verbal reports from Charleston, 'i'he disease is said to at'ack natives, or resi dents, as well as strangers. It would, in deed, be remarkable if it did not. Dis guised as it is under the name of "Stran ger's Fever," il is simply, the old malig nant billions fever, an infection "that the sun sucks up from bog, fen, marsh," and which knows no discrimination in its vic tims. The only difference is, that resi dents are better prepared to shun its darts. In Charleston, the late fire has left a vast space indented with cellars and founda tions, which have been inundated by a rai ny season, and the water, becoming stag nant, has sent forth its poisonous exhala tions and contaminated the atmosphere, thereby producing the pestilence. The same thing occurred in Savannah after the great fire there, in 1812. Norfolk Her. Important from Texas. We learn from Captain Stockman of the steamer 44 Teehe" arrived yesterday from Natchi toches thai news had been received at that place from Texas, announcing tbe com mencement of hostilities with the Indians in that republic.
