Norfolk Tier. Cclfon. CaUnn commands in this City, from 9J to 10 cents. Between fifty and a hundred bales were sold here last week at 10 cents.

The election fr Delrcjaies to the Convention to form a Slate Cinsti tution for Florida, has jut taken place. Wp observe, from 1 he returns that have reached u. that our respected friend, Dr. Sam'l. C. Bellamy, late of this Slate, is elected one of the delegates from Jackson county by a handsome majority. ib. Jl strait road That part of the Wil mington and Raleigh Rail Road, extend ing from the Rocky Point station, to Moore's depot, being about fifty miles, i. as strait as a line can be drawn. Wilmington Jldv. (jipVVeare informed that the Steamer Neptune, bound from Baltimore to Charleston, went ashore, on what is called the Horse Shoe shoal, on Tuesday morn ing last. This shoal is situated within the New Inlet, through which the Nep tune, had passed, for the purpose we pre sume of touching at Smilhville. The Gov. Dadley hence to Charleston, look off the Neptune's passengers, and conveyed them to their destination. ib. Rail Road between Charleston and Georgetown We brought recently to the notice of the public a scheme for the connection of Charleston with George town, (S. C.) by a Rail Road, as part of the line of communication, through Wil mington, (N. C.) between the North and South. On conversing with a number of individuals of property.and influence, in the district of country through winch such a road would pass, and who fully appreci ate the benefits of this project, we are sat isfied that the cost, including bridges over both the Sanlees, would not exceed our estimate of 500,000. That an invest ment by capitalists in such an underta king would produce as large a return as on almost any rail road in the Union, we feed satisfied, from the great amount of travel that must take place on it. A num ber of individuals of large means are rea dy to subscribe to such an enterprise, if an impulse were only given lo it. The in creasing abundance ot money and the diffi culty that must shortly lake place of find ing advantageous employment for it, ren der this the acceptable period for the com mencement of the undertaking. We should be prepared now to engage in the work, so as to mature it as nealy as pos sible after the completion of the Wilming ton and Raleigh Rail Road. We under stand that this road will be readv for tra vellers in its whole extent by the 1st of June next, and that the proprietors expect io compieie Dyme isi ot December nt-xi. 110 miles, when it is understood that the great mail between the North and the oouth will be transported on it. Charleston Patriot. From ihe Raleigh Standard. Highly Interesting. The following wbkh is extracted from U.e Mobile Exam-1 iner, will be highly interesting to our mocratic republican friends; they will be gratified lo find that ihe proposition for an Independent Treasury originated with the author of the Declaration of Indepen dence: Origin of the "Sub Treasury." There seems to be much difficulty in tracing the origin of the Sub-Treasury "ill to its le gitimate source. Some give the honor of the measure to Gen. Gordon of Virginia, and others to Mr. Benton. The follow ing, however, contains the germ of the whole matter, and is extracted from a let ter of Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin. To the great champion and father of De mocracy then belongs the suggestion of this most admirable proposition. "But in order to meet a general combi nation of the banks against us, in a criti cal emergency, could we not make a be ginning towards an independent use of our own money, towards holding our own bank in all the deposits where it is receiv ed, and let the Treasurer give his draft or note for payment at any particular place, which in a well conducted government, ought to have as much credit, as any pri vale draff, or bank note, or bill, and would give us the sime facilities which we derive from the bank.?" Jlnothcr Treasury Circular. In anoth er column will be found a notice from the Secretary of the Treasury, stating that he will pay in advance of the period on which they fall due, all the Treasury Notes is sued on or before the 2 1st of May last, being about two and a half millions of Dollars. The Federalists no doubt will contend that this Circular will ruin the Country. The Banks, we presume, have got the principal part of those Treasury Notes in their own vaults, for w hich they paid out their Notes, and receive the inter est on the Treasury Notes. The effect of this Circular will be to send back the shin plasters of the Banks to their respective places, and deprive them of G per cent, which they now get from I lie government. What a wicked government lo pay their debts, before they are due. How cnul it is to oppress the Banks by paying them in their own coin. Fay. Jour. (CSince the triumphant result of the Administration party has been known, some of the Federal papers hint at another revolution in the money market, and no doubt will charge it upon the Government. If the Banks were to create such another panic for political effect we are not prepar ed to say what would be the consequence We are well aware, it would not be so tamely submitted lo as the last was. The people have expressed llieir opinion through the ballot box, and by such large majorities it appears they are determined not be ruled by a Federal Bank Aristoc racy. But we presume they want to ap ply the bank screws to Congress again. We advise them to be cautious of such a dangeruus experiment. ib. The Crops. We are glad to learn from the "Carolina Watchman," that the Corn Crops in Stokes, Surry, Davie, and Bow an, are better than was supposed, before they were gathered. The current price for new Corn is 50 cents ner bushel. Flour .$3 per rwi., Oats 30 cents. Bacon 15. Butter 12J,L,ard 121, Beet 4 and 5 cts., Mutton 5 cis., Chit kens $1 a dozen. Most of these articles, says ihe "Watchman," are afforded in great abundance at ihese prices, so there is no greal danger of -our people's starving the next year at the least. One thing to help out our Corn Crops in many places, is the large quantity of Oak mast. Ral. Rer. More Banks. Notice is given in the "Greensboro' Patriot," that application will be made to the Legislature, at its en suing session, to charter a Bank lo be lo cated at Greensboro'; also to charter one, lo be located at Fayelteville, with a Branch at Greensboro'. ib. Fever in Charleston. We are hapov to learn from the Charleston Courier, that the Stranger's Fever has considerably de creased, although it has not entirely dis appeared. For a number of days, they have had fine weather, and one morning there was a "decided black frost." ib. C7The Committee of Safety, at War- renton, gives nolice through the "Report er," that the Small Pox has been arrested, and that persons may visit the place with safety ib. Fayetteville, Oct. 20.

By a vote of the state a convention was convened in this state to draft an amended Conslitu- Tl.lc pnnvPMliim wflPT :i SIX mOUtllS session, and at a cost ( near bait a million of dollars, reported a new constitution for ihe consideration of the people, who were required to vote for or against its adoption at the annual election in October.

In the Louisville Journal of Oc t. 16ih, we hae latest news from the Mormons, and despatches to Gov. Uoggs at St. Louis. Several hundred of these armed are en camped at a new rendezvous, called De wilt, ( Mo.) a few miles above the month of Grand Uiver. A kdy of armed citi zens, with a field piece, were near them, and several skirmishes had taken place, in which tuo or three were wounded. The citizens, ir lather mob, are under a Dr. Austin of Connecticut, and a Col. Jones. They offered lo pny the Mormons for their lands and 1 0 per cent interest, and trans port iheir people out id' the count'. The Mormons said they would die first, and have since been so strengthened by a rein forcement from the main body at "Far West," in Caldwell county, 70 miles dis tant, that ihe mob deferred making a gen eral attack. ib. CyA great Jlbolition row was kicked up in Danbury, Faitlkdd county, Conn, on Thursday night last, in consequence of the llev. Mr. Colver, from this city, attempting to deliver an Abolition Lecture in ihe Baptist Church. A great multitude of the citizens gathered around ihe church, broke in the windows, pelted the lecturer with rotten eggs, and prepared lo ride him on a Rail, bul he escaped. He resolved, however, lo try it again last night, and the Trustees of ihe church gave their consent for him again to occupy their shattered building. The result of the last trial is not yet known here. ib. Disgraceful Riot The New York Ex press of October 22, says : Last evening the disgraceful farce of Fanny Wright &: Co., was again repeated at ihe Masonic Hall, and we venture to say, a more bru tal scene never disgraced ihe annals of the great commercial emporium. At the usu al hour for ihe commencement, the Hall was filled lo overflowing, and noi less than 5000 tickets probably, were disposed of at the usual price of one shilling each. At the commencement of ihe lecture, some slight interruption look plaee from ihe hooting and hissing of the crowd, but this was speedily put down by the interference of a large body of the watch who had been ordered in attendance by the mayor. The lecture proceeded and was gone ihrough with without farther iuterrnption; ihe crafty Fanny carefully avoiding throughout any allusion lo politics on either side of ihe question. At the close of ihe performance, nearly an hour was consumed before ihe male por tion of the audience retired from the Hall. By ibis lime the crowd without had in creased to a most fearful exient not less than 10,000 persons were assembled in front of ihe buiiding. A large number of females, who, (to their shame be it said,) had attended the lecture, now attempted lo effect their egress. This movement was not effected without the most degrading in- suits, and partial and personal violenc-fe" lr , Warrant lne conviction, inde from the mob. penddn$ of the girl's statement on the trial.

Horrid Murder by a Boy It appears that the young lad Purdy, who -was shot in Milton, Orange county, in this State, some weeks since, while gathering grapes in a tree with his comrade, was ihe victim of a vile bov named John Baker, whode liberatelv took aim at li'nn wiih the gun which Purdy had left below. The shot knocked out an eye and several teeth and penetrated the brain, causing death. Pur dv and Staples had been a gunning, am were afterwards joined by Baker, who picked a quarrel with P. because he wouh not lend him his gun. Baker has escap ed. The act is fully as atrocious an in stance of orecocioos crime as cun be found on record. A. lr. Star. The Brunswick (Geo.) Advocate of ihe 4 ill instant, states that eight companies ol mounted men are to be raised forthwith from the Lastern division, to move against the Seminoles supposed to be in the Oke- fonokee swamps. Gen. Charles Floyd has been appointed to the command. ("CP The Southern Commercial Conven tion at Augusta, Geo. adjourned the 17th, the 2d dav of their session, after ad opt in c: a report and resolution going largely, we are pleased to perceive, into a recommendation of rail roads and canals, and all works of in tcrnal improvement. A vast augmentation ot Banking Capital aiul its direct conjunc tion with these public works, is strongly recommended. Also, a close connection with foreign banks. A silver cup was presented to Mr. Wm. Bearing, of Athens, Geo. as the first who suggested the idea of a Southern Conven tion. A" r. Star. A Singular Affair. The Salem Ga zette, informs us ofa singular affair which occurred in Danvers recently. In the morning ofa rainy clay, a man and woman went on foot to a clergyman, to be married. The service was duly performed, and the happy couple retired to their home. Noth ing is known of the history cFthe succeed ing day ; but on the day after that, when the man came home from the field to din ner, he found his house locked up. Not obtaining entrance otherwise, he final ly forced the door, and entering, found a note from his wife, stating that she had gone where he would never see her again. It has not been discovered what be came of her. Execution The Charlottesville Va. Ad vocate of the 3d inst. states that the two ne groes, Lucinda and Andrew, lately con victed in Bath county, of the murder of Mr. Mayse's children, were executed a grecably to their sentence, at the Warm Springs, on the 24th ult. A gentleman who was present states that they persisted to the last in denying all agency in the mur ders. It is also stated that the girl, on whose testimony chiefly those slaves were convicted, has since her acquittal confessed that she alone had committed the mur ders but if this be the fact, it is believed that little reliance could be placed in her confession, as from her size and tender ae, there is little probability that she coSld have perpetrated the horrid acts besides mere was aoundant other circumstantial Lynching Extraordinary.-A barrel of vvhiskey was recently tarred and feath ered, and then consumed by fire, at Valley h ' orge, Va. after a temperance address by the Kev.Mr. Hunt; the leader of the work ofdestructon was a dealer in ardent spi rits. r (tPF ranee has fitted out a new naval ex pedition ostensibly against Mexico.
