SATURDAY, OCTOBER 0, 1638. The Review On Friday and Salur day last, the iwo Regiments of Militia of this county, were reviewed by Maj ben W. T. Hawkins, accompanied by Brig. Gen. Crenshaw, Col Liitljohn and Ad jntaut Philips. We did not attend tin Review of the Upper Regiment, on Fri day, at Mr. Bridgers's ; but we understand that its appearance and discipline were highly creditable to the Officers and pri vates, and that it was addresed nt sooit length in a cojnpliinentary manner, b) Gen. Crenshaw. At the termination of the Review of the Lower Regiment in this place on Saturday , Gen. Crenshaw addressed the troops, and in &n eloquent and appropriate manner point ed out the duties devolving on the t Hirers ond the privates, and their responsibility to their country applauded their oiderl and soldierlike behaviour and exhorted them to a special attention to rigid disci pliue, and a strict adherence to their re spective duties. After the troops were dismissed, a large number of the Oili'-ers and privates waited upon .!aj. Gen. Haw liins, at Mrs. Gregory's Hotel, and wi-re rec eived and treated by liiru with Ins char acteristic dignity and urbanity. (H?The Hon. Edw Stanly, Represen tative in Congress hum tins di&iru t, I'.i vot ed our t ihz "os tviih a Speech, at ihe close of the Review in this place on Satord last. He adverted to the prominent poli tical topics of the day, viz: A .National' Bank the Sub Treasury the expendi tures of th General Government, &r. He strongly advocated a National Bank, and Contended for its consiitutionaliiy under the proviions to regulate commerce; in coin money ; regulate the value thereol, and of foreign coin ; and to make all la which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing pow -ers condemned the Sub Treasury pi-.jen ns being fraught with innumerable evils charged the late and present Administra tions with extravagant expenditures, &;c He was replied to by l)r Hall, our late Representative, who spoke at sonic length, in favor of the Sub Treasury against a National Buik charged the Opposition with being the cause of the ex travagant expenditures of the Government, 8ic We are gratified to add, that the utmost harmony and good feeling were ex hibited by the Speakers, and their address es were listened to with the most profound attention. Our citrt-ns were much pleased with the courteous and dignified behaviour of Mr. Stanly ; but we do not hesitate to ex press the belief, that the Democracy of Edgecombe cannot be induced to forego their hostility to a National B-uik or be convinced that Bank men are more hono rable and honest than public officers or be satisfied that the best method to reduce the expenses of the General Government is to place its administration in the hands of those who uniformly have been in favor of a high tariff, an extensive system of inter nal improvements, and extravagant appro priations. C?We invite attention to a letter from Mr. Calhoun, which will be found on our first page. We regret that our limits will not permit the insertion of Mr. Preston's letter, nor one on the same subject, which has recently appeared in the papers from Air. McDuflie. It is truly gratifying to observe so many of the talented citizens of the South united on the great question of "uncompromising hostility to a National Bank," and a separation of the Govern ment from the Banks; however much they may diff r on the minor points of carrying mat project into etlect. Great Freshet. On Tuesday last, the Tar River at this place was higher than it nas ueen smce the memorable freshet of 1798 and about one foot higher than the .great freshet of 1817. For two or three days the roads were rendered almost im- passable, and immense damage has been sustained in the low grounds by thede sirucuon of crops, stock, fences, &ic and on the streams by the breaking of bridges, mills, &c. (pTbe U. S. Dredge Boat, Newbern, Captain Hunter, arrived off this port on Friday last. We understand she is to commence operations at the shoal near this place, about the middle of this month. r Wt' I .. II.' L h asniugion tt nig.

Gen Hamilton, of South Carolina, has written to the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, a (nil account of the affair be tween Mr Stevenson, our Minister to L n- don, and Daniel O'Conuell. The gross ii'Sult to r. Sieveusoo ami the country he represented, contained in O Conuell's abo lition speech at Birmingham, 11 has been seen (Yiii their correspondence which we publish, d in our last, elicited a demand Iroin the former, whether the offe nsive pa ige alluded to, was correctly lepoited? which was answered by a positive declara tion from O'Conuell that it was not; ao there 1 lie af , 1 r (hooped. It appears Irom 'mil Hamilton's communication, that it was the determination of Mr. Stevenon to challenge O'C oiiuell, should he refuse to disavow the scurrilous assault upon him in his speech; and wiih that vinv it was that he called upon Gen. II. who, upon a ( ooMiliaiion wuli Captain M. v . Perry, of the U S Navy, ami Dr. M'Cauhy, ol uanland, counselled the course vhih Mr. Swve.tsoii pursued. O'Conuell's dis tvmal, however, was viewed as a base Mihterlnge to avoid the consequences ol in acknowledgement ol the fiensive le- marks; and Gen. Hamilton observes As ir. O'Conuell, however, had pub id) avowed, from the fact of his once hav- log accidentally killed the man, (lite doubtless of even the crime of homicide, is I question from his valor, whether he ever look sight at his opponent,) that he w ill uuljight whilst he claims a special -'i- mumty aod impunity to abuse every man, not alone in me United Kingdom, but in lie whole world;! was satisfied that 110 sat- islactiou could have been obtained even by this course. I therefore readilv on- aented to a plan which enabled Mr. O'C. to He himself out of the difficulty which oe has successfully accomplished at aii ex pense, which considering the small amount d character which the Rim Master of reland has left, he could ill afford. 'That Mr. O'Conuell not onlv used the langugr reported and attributed to him in the London Sun and Spectator, but was more ff, usive, there can be no doubt. 'I shall not leave England, without go ing to Birmingham, investigating the facts, and lixing the Lie upon his brass hi indeli ble characters.' (!Cjm point of difficulty may crow out of me arrest of the French Consul at New York, w ho, it will be seen, has been held to uau 0.1 a charge ol abduction, in the case of the Captain of the Alexandre. But the question is, whether the representative of the sovereignty of a foreign power is to claim precedence of the sovereignty of the power which receives him; or, in a word, whether he is competent to do that in the United States which the President of (he United States cannot do with impimiivf it,. Trade of JYew York, The N ew York hvening Post says: As far as the city New York is concerned, we believe more wholesale business has been done the last lour weeks than was done the preceding twelve months.

The Darien Mystery We some weeks ago publishtd the card of a Mr. Mt Car dell, editor of the Darien (Geo.) Tele graph, staling, that, in order to save the lives of himself and family, and to prevent confl igration and bloodshed, he had re signed the editorial chair, and discontin ued the publication of Ins paper. We at first supposed that Mr. McCardell had been seifcnj with a sudden fit of insanilv; but we since perceive that he had real grounds lor his apprehensions. It seems that there had been certain broils in Di lien, and that the I elegiaph, taking part therein, and speaking with great lieedom nf individual engaged in them, had given dead y i-fPort? to the pa-iy to which it was opposed by whom he was threatened with the dem diliou of his office, to which a torch was once applied, and a cannon planted in front of it, unless he would promise to cease his comments upon their conduct.

We should inler. from the tenor ul bite accounts from the Wesi Indies, that the experiment of Abolition does not work quite so auspi- iously as was anticipated by its authors. On the 1st of August, the scheme went into tflVcl, and by the I3ili, the Islands eemed lo be in general 'commotion the negroes having almost universally struck for higher wages than the planters were disposed lo allow them. 'The Jnmai ca Despatch speaks very discouraging ly of the operation of ihe Abolition Act," says the N.
