Amos Kendall, late Post Master General of the United Slates. It comes in the form of an octava pamphlet, of 1G pages, and is published twice a month, at Si per year, in advance. The SATURDAY, FEBRUARY -JHhigh reputation of the author as a politick the (JJ'Our County Court was held this week. Nothing remarkable occurred, ex cept an unusual seeking after money a general remark of its extreme scarcity anil fcpOn Wednesday night last, between 7 and 10 o'clock, the Store of Messrs. II. Austin & Son, in this place, was broken open and the following articles taken there from: several pieces of calico, one pair of boots, a parcel of pocket knives, a piece of tobacco weighing S or 10 pounds, pro bably several pair of shoes, &.c. The thief has as yet escaped detection. Huzza for old Martin. We learn that the wife of Arthur S.

Blair & Rives weie elected printers of the Senate for the 27th Con gress. And on the same day, Mr. Clay's resolution for the repeal of the Indepen dent Treasury law, was bid on the table by a vote of 27 to 25, as follows: YEAS Messrs.

The House of Representatives is princi pally engaged in the consideration of the bill making appropriations for the civil and diplomatic expences of Government for 1S41. The Globe of the 17th inst. says: Mr. BYNUM spoke quite lengthily and ably to day in opposition to a motion made to strike from the bill the appropria tion for the support of the Branch Mint of North Carolina. His remarks were well timeu anu to me point. i ney alionieu a fair and forcible illustration of the firmness of his principles, and of his desetved re nutation as an intelligent, fluent, and in teresling public speaker; and he most tri umphantly, clearly, and forcibly met and refuted the long list of spiteful slanders and the congregated host of mercenary at tacks and misrepresentations that had been so rudely and violently hurled upon the devoted heads of the friends of the Admin istration here, by the supple tools of sub serviency the little, mercenary train bands, expectants and favorites, who had rioted in their unsparing denunciations and abuse of the party now in power. State debts- Mr. Judah, a leading Fed eral member of the House of Representa tives, (la.) closed a letter to the editor of the Vincennes Gazette with the following paragraph: "The only remedy for this State, and for all the indebted States, will be found in an assumption of State debts by the United States. I have twice proclaimed this doctrine in the House, and shall con tinue to do so." The correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says: "Yesterday Mr. Adams boldly avowed that it was the duty of the Government to assume the debts of the States, because the debts they had incurred, in making banks and internal improvements, was an attempt on the part of the States to do that which it was the constitutional duty of Congress to do. Therefore, we ought to assume all the debts of the States, and of course com plete the works on account of which they were contract! d. The Slates owe above 200,000,000. We are burr) in j; towards tne gull; or, to use the metaphor ol a Northern man in conversation, we intend to eat you up.' " writer, will commend this work to public attention, and render any comment on our part unnecessary. We may he permitted to remark, however, that Mr. Kendall is unquestionably one of the pur est men of the age, both in his political and private character. Mr. Kendall com mences his Inaugural with the following paragraph: "The Democracy we advocate is Jus tice between man and man, between Slate and Slate, and between nation and nation. It is morality. It is giving to every man his due.' It is 'doing unto others as tec would have them do unto us.1 It advocates the banishment of falsehood, fraud, and violence from the affairs of men. It is the moral code of all true philosophy; it is a fundamental doctrine of Hiin wiio spake a never man spake;' it is the per fection of reason and the law of God." ib. ; the object of which is to pave the way for the occupation of that vast region ol coun try, known as the Oregon Territory, stretching from our present Western fron tier to the Pacific Ocean. The bill provi des for the establishment of a line of milita ry posts from Fort Leavenworth to the Rocky Mountains, and for the appoint nientofan Indian Agent; grants 1000 acres of land to every white male inhabitant who shall occupy and cidtivate the same for five consecutive years; and authorizes the President to take immediate measures to have the boundaries of the United States on the Pacific frontier ascertained and fix ed. to. Reg. A New Territory. The Iowa News gives the name of Dacotah Territory to a portion of the country now within its bor ders, and which it says will be formed into a distinct territory when Iowa comes to be admitted into the Union. Murder. We are called on today to record a most shameful murder committed on Swift Creek, in Craven County, on the iM inst., upon the person of a worthy and respectable old" citizen of that neighbor hood, named John I). Bar, by Kdward N. Williams, aged between 25 and 30 years. The following particulars were related to us by a worthy gentleman of the same neighborhood: Mr. Bar being out of doors when Williams went in the house and com menced beating Mr. B's wife; hearing the rupture in the house he proceeded to her protection, and asked Williams what he meant, when the old gentleman received several severe blows on the head with a hickory stick; Williams not satisfied with what he had done, picked up a heavier club ami give him a blow on the side, which caused his death. Mr. Bar survived 6 days when he expired. Williams has fled. Wash. Hep. Sudden Death. On Friday last, Dun can Buie, Esq. of this County, whilst on a visit of business to town, fell and expired without a moment's premonition, having been in his usual good health, apparently, up to the instant of the fatal summons. He was in the S2d year of his age, and had re cently completed, what no other man in the country could boast of, probably', the labor of taking the Census of this County, for the fifth iime He had performed that duty in 1S00, ldlO, 1S20, 1S30, and 1S40. Ftty. Observe?'. (JIIow truly diil Mr. Calhoun say in the celebrated debate on the Independent Treasury Bill, that there was no neeil of assailing the banks, for they would kill themselves soon enough that they con tain in themselves the elements of their own destruction! the "great harlot of abominations" has fallen, and the others are tottering around her. The whole sys tem is rotten and corrupt, and there is no safety in it. The people of the United States should learn wisdom from experience, and no longer rely on a currency that is upset by every wind of adversity. IVarrenton Rep. From the Globe. Mr. Clay and his Distribution Bill. Henry Clay is certainly the most unfor tunate of men. His great financial scheme, the bantling of his ten years devotion and adoration, put forward at the opening of the present session as the prominent lead ing measure of the coming Administration, is likely to fail him. Some of his main force is giving way. The craft is drifting upon a rock The crew is mutinying, and the plot so skilfully matured to increase the tariff, augment taxation, multiply the public burdens, and again to plunge this country into all ihe dread calamities of ex travagance, overtrading, and speculation, is daily caving in by its own weight. Various leading members of ihe party are wheeling off, and giving decided evidence of open opposition. They arc not so blind j Thy fronts cxhihf; dilapidation. P. S. Mrs Nunley, who we stated yes terday, was shot by her husband on Satur day, is living still, and hopes are enter tained of her recovery. The ball has been extracted. As far as we learn the facts, Nunley was a person of strong passions which his wife had greatly excited by con duct of a most exceptionable character growing out of domestic difficulties. It will be a piinful lesson to her. Ib. FOR THE TAIIBORO' PUESS. "TARBRY TOWN."

Mr. Clay feels rebuked. His very conn t:iance betokens gloom and despondency. The truth is, Mr. Clay has wofully'mista ken his powers. He wants foresight and discretion. He may fight in the ranks, but he is unfit to lead or to head a party. Whatever he might have been in other vears, he is now evidently in the wane of life, in mind as well as in body. 1 here is an incoherence a diffuseness looseness a frailty, and, indeed, an imbecility of mind that sensibly mark his failure and decay. There is a fretful ness and a peev ishness in all his movements, indicative 6f a conscious loss of eloquence and power. Thy tenants chit fly rats and fleas. seem, or something Jin Empty Treasury. A bill has been introduced into the Virginia Legislature, to authorize the banks of that State to loan the Commonwealth 5100,000. It is stated that there is not enough money in the Treasury to pay the member's wages. New York Standard. Yet, the State Government of Virginia has been in the hands of the Whigs and Conservatives two or three years and the Whigs pretend that they alone are skilled in finance! ib. yJohn Randolph said that "corpora tions have no souls." and we rather sus pect that the banks of our country, will soon want both body and soul. ib. Raleigh and Gaston Hail Road. -The Stockholders of this Company met in this City on Tuesday, the lGth inst. It ap peared, from a report of the president, that the amount of receipts for the last seven months, was nearly double the current ex penses.

There are no moneved establish- mcnts in the United States that can better stand an inquisition into their concerns, anu less require legislative refutation, than t7 O 7 those of Charleston. We have seen inti mations in some of the Northern papers that probab'y all the banks at the South will again suspend, after the recent suspen sion of the Philadelphia and Baltimore banks. We can assure the authors of this intimation that this is an entire mistake, with regard to the banks of Charleston. They were never stronger in this respect than they are now never in abetter con dition to maintain specie payments. Charleston (S. C.) Patriot. Summary Disposition of Defaulters...

(JA family was recently poisoned in Pennsylvania, by the use of Apple Butter, the acid of which had decomposed the gla zing on the crocks in which it was kept. Lead constitutes a portion of the material for glazing, and the poisonous substance was found so abundant as to give the bot tom of the vessels a white appearance. All the members of the family were saved by timely medical aid; though some of them had been delirious and affected with vio lent spasms.

We understand that a man named Nunley, a farmer, residing in Chesterfield county, shot his wife on Saturday night, and then blevv his own brains out. The circumstances, as far as we learn them, are these. Nunley was a man of strong pas sions, and indeed we should suppose of a ruffianly disposition, as wc understand he told one of his sons, three or four years a go, that if he ever entered his house again he would shoot him. On Friday last he threatened to shoot his wife. On Saturday he returned from gunning, intoxicated, and on entering his house he drew a pistol and shot his wife, the ball passing through sonewhci e in the region of the shoulder. She fell, and he then picked her up, drag ged her to a bed. laid her upon it, and himself beside Her, drew another pistol and deliberately shot himself dead. The wo man was still living yesterday, but with little hopes of recovery. Such is the ac count as given to us. Richmo d Star.
