Wc predict a harmonious and useful ses sion. The Whigs tVcl no disposition to rejoice immoderately over the vanquished, and our Van Huren friends seem to ac q.iiesre with a good gr.ee in the dogma, ;hat "there's a divinity lint shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will." Both parties will, we believe, turn their attention, at once, to such measures as may seem best calculated to elevate the character of the State. Federal Court. The United Sfites Court, for the District of North Carolina met in this City on Thursday last, and is still in Session. Judges Hai hour and Potter are in attendance. ib. them to join an expedition against me In dians. . . The plan is to raise an army of sixteen hundred men, and march beyond the fron tier settlements of Texas. There a line of blockhouses is to be built, an abundant stock of provisions laid in, and the necessity ar rangements made to carry on a winter s campaign. General Houston is very con fident of success, and the probability is, that the project will be brought into operation. We regret to learn that the attitude main tained b) Mexico to Texas is still hostile and uncompromising. The Texian agent in Mexico, in a late communication to his Government, states that no disposition for an amicable arrangement of existing diffh ultes was evinced. He is not without hope, however, that when the intestine commotions of the country are pacified, and Government is less occupied by insur rectionary movements he may then succeed in obtaining a recognition of Texian independence. (QThe Central Railroad of Georgia is advancing rapidly towards completion. One hundred and twenty-two miles are now in use, and on the section between the finished line and the Oconee, the su perstructure will soon be laid down. The last 48 miles are now ready for gradua tion. The road commencesat Savannah, and will terminate at Macon a line of exactly 190j miles. 44508 36428 The above returns give a majority of about 10,000 votes for the Harrison tick et. This majority will probably be in creased some 2 or 3000 voles. (jpThe reported majorities in the cev- eral Slates heard from, in regard to the Presidential election, are so very contra dictory, that we have concluded to defer publishing them. Sufiiee it to say, that from present appearances Mr. Van liuren will only receive the electoral voles of New Hampshire, Virginia, South Caroli na, Missouri, and Arkansas, making 48 votes; while Gen. Harrison will get the remaining 2 16, being a majority of 1 OS electoral votes. From the Hunt scille Jin.) Democrat. In giving place to the following commu nication from Mr. Starnes, we would re mark, that the Hon. Mr. Stanly has liier ly Hooded the w hole South wilh his incen diary documents. We noticed the other day th.. I no less than a thousand of his franks had reached a single county, in Mis sissippi. Ho has sca'tcred them also throughout this Slate; and even in Hunts vi lie, his friends are supplied with large numbers, for the purpose no doubt of dis tribution amongst the pi inters in the coun try. These British Whigs, it would seem have agents in every part of the Union, who stoop lo the most dt -grading and abom inable means to impose upon an honest and unsuspecting people. To the Editor of the Democrat: Sir: Enclosed is a copy of a letler I have this day addressed to the Hon. Edward Slauly , a member of the Ct;ntri Commit tee at the sent of Govei ument. I have to! request the favor of you to publish it, as fiom a perusal of it you will sec the nc cesHty I am under, of clearing myself from the suspicion of favoiing a party whose principles I sincerely despise; and the mem bers of that committee do not, in my opin ion, deserve a milder reproof than the one enclosed. Yours respectfully, JOHN STaRNES. Clay. with, rfla. Oct. 24, 1840. Sir: 1 have been insulted for the last ihree or four months with publications addressed to me, which are of a nature that 1 think no patriot or friend to our hippy form of Government C3n peruke with any satis faction. I received three pamphlets by tl e last mail under your frank, which I return to you without leading a line in them, prcsu mirg the matter they contain isofihesuiu prisonous nature th yu arc duly circu lating throughout the Uni'ed Siats uivier your franks, and in violation of the po-t of fice laws. If any Whirling iu this sect'on of Ala bama his g veo our committee mv name a o.ie of their party, they have b en guilty of a foul slander. 1 have been bred a Demo crat, and I shall certainly support the pre sent Administration with all my powers and ahlitics. You will therefore erase mv r: imc from your list, and give your treason able matter to those corrupt beings of your party who may be degraded enough to cir coble them. JOHN STARNES. To the lion.

Exciting Incident. We saw a letter, within a few days, written by a young lady who, not many weeks since, was journeying from this place to the West. It narrates a very exciting occurrence which took place on board the steamboat in w hich she was a passenger, and of which she was an eye witness. In par sing down the Mississippi river, our nar rator was summoned from the cabin by alarming shrieks and great commotion upon deck. On going up, she found that a young lady lnd fallen overborn!, and the boat in its progress was fast leaving her behind. A gentleman on hoard im mediately divested himself of a part of his clothing, and upheld her in the water un til a small boat came to the rescue of both. The young lady, Ihus snatched from a sudden death, wa the diughter of an elderly gentleman who was on board of tne no.it lureigners, neither ol could speak English. On reaching .1.1. ' 1 C i r i '. no u. unu reeoveren irom iter infill, she p .ssionately embraced hur deliverer, and bestowed Zeiss after kiss upon him, as the only way she could express her gratitude and thankfulness; while the father rush ing from the cabin eageily proflired him a roil of bank bilis. These being refused, he ran to his cabin and returned with a bag of gold which he likewise pressed upon his acceptance; nor could either fa ll, in, have associated themselves ip u-iii ss in Portsmoui h, and are pi ep u mg lo eotuiuC" on ihe mosl extensive .Cilt- Ihe Iiect'tvhix, Vovjcnvdhig, and Gen vial Conimis-iuii liusiness.
