SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1541. (jJpWe are authorised to announce Mr. John Norfleet, as a candidate for the office of Clerk of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of this county. (JOur County Court was held this week. Nothing occurred worthy of spe cial notice, so far as we have heard. fcj0n Monday last, two shares of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road, were sold in this place at public sale for cash, at 536 per share. (JjpThe following is the official state ment of the polls in the several counties composing this Congressional district, as submitted by the Sheriffs on comparing the votes at Washington, on Thursday, the 20th inst. Edward Stanly (Whig) is re elected; there was no organized opposition, but the Republican votes that were cast, were generally for Henry I. Toole, Esq. as follows: Toole. Stanly.

Drayjon, by handing over to it certain patents for lands in the Territory of Iowa! worth perhaps ten thousand dollars! We have no interest in this Bank, or any other, but we expect ed better things from Col. Drayton than an acceptance of this offer, unless, indeed, he found the offering of the Prime Minist er so desperate, that he was glad to get even these lands; for we have information to be relied upon, that Daniel occupies a house in Washington city, taken in the name and upon the credit of a Mr. Per kins of Boston! Citizens of America! are you not disgraced and dishonored by such conduct? Ought not our statesmen, placed in high stations, to be examples of integrity, virtue and patriotism? are we so lost to every sense of shame, as not to cry out fie! fie! upon an administration and cabinet, regardless of moral rectitude, and a just pei formance of our duty to our fellow men? Are we willing to encour age the spendthrift, the gambler and the roue Spirit of the Titnes. The Philadelphia Banks The Phila delphia Ledger says: We understand that the Banks held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which it was resolved not to accept the provisions of the late act of the legislature, gi anting them permission to issue small notes, reduce the value of their own credits, and suspend foi ever." pose of visiting or travelling through from one State to anoiher, the slave in such case becomes a free man the moment he touches the soil of Ohio. (JA young man lately committed to the jail of Rockingham county, (Va.) char ged'wiih the murder of his father, has been tried by an examining court in Harrison burg and acquitted. The Register says: "This horrible affair, the killing of a fath er by his son, was the result of a drunken frolick, in which father, mother, and son were all engaged! The father, it appears, made an attack unon the son, who repelled the assault by striking a blow with a hoe which slove in his parent's skull and laid him dead at his feet ! The young man has been acquitted by the laws of his country; but remorse and anguish must and will tor ture his spirit while life, and bein last.' Beets.

The Legislature of Maryland at their last session appropriated $2,000,000 to finish the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to Cumberland. In carrying on the previous operations of the company, a considerable amount of scrip or promissory notes had been issued by the corporation, and thrown upon the community as a circulating medium. The Legislature refused to provide for the payment of these notes out of the two millions appropriated. The consequence is, that they remain on the hands of the holders, or are sold at an enormous dis count. We have SlO in these notes, and have been told that they are at thirty per cent, discount. We must, therefore, lose three dollars out of ten. Suppose a million of dollars in these notes to be in the hands of the people, w hich were originally paid out at par foi provisions, materials and labor. Sold ai the present rate of discount, they would yield to the holders S700,000, being a loss of S300,000. What right have the stockholders of j this company, be they States or individ uals, to deal thus with their fellow men? Kendall's Exjwsitor. St. Doming-). The following picture of the present condition of the once beauti ful and flourishing island of St. Domingo, isfurnished in a letter from a French nval officer: We embarked on hoard the frigate Ne reicle, on the 24th December. On tlie 2Sth we were at Fort Royal, to receive orders from the admiral who despatched us on the 29th to St. Domingo, where we small ones for seed; put plenty of manure in your drill, (or bed,) cover them up with a dagon plough on each side on plant ing; then, when up four or six inches high, weed them and then throw a high dagon furrow or two on each side. And if you don't make plenty, ami that as large as if you had purchased the largest in market, you say the old man is mistaken. But don't forget the quality nor quanti ty of manure- Put enough of any thing but cotton seed not fully killed, or horse manure not fully rotten; the heat becomes so great that it kill the potato in its fermen tation. Even those as big as a buck shot, are as good and better than those you cut the eyes out of as big as your fist, and will plant further. I feel ashamed, George, for my birth State, Noith Carolina, that she should have lept so long on this and many other sub ject3, of whi:h I may tell you hereafter. Bad. or good, it is not intended to please or offend mankind; but to tell the tiuth for the benefit of man and my sweet and glori ous country. We will suppose, and 1 think it moderate too, that there are ship ped into North Carolina from the Northern States, 250,000 bushels Irish potatoes, ran ging in price from seventy-five cents to a dollar and twenty-five cents per bushel; and 1 have known them sell at one dollar and fifty cents This I know for forty years has been about the ranging prices. How wrong we must be, when North Ca rolina with the same pains will bring as good potatoes as any State in the Union. Then there is 250,000 loss to this Slate ev ery year, wake up, ye men oi sense, and think for yourselves. Put up your Irish Jit T"rborokandA. - orft4 bers.

Two States, Missis sippi and Illinois will not be represented in the Extra Session of Congress. The terms of members from both expired on tjie 4th of March last, and as tl.erc is no law in either State authorizing the Govern or to order a special election, none can be held until the regular time; in Mississippi, next fall, and in Illinois, next summer, and of consequence there will be no repre sentation from either State to attend the approaching Extra Session. This will be a loss to the Democratic party, as Illinois would no doubt send three, and Mississip pi probably two Democrats.

The Gcner- Lal Assembly of Rhode Island adjourned last rriday week, alter a session of two and a half days, the firt of which was occupied in counting the votes and declar ing the election of general officers, leaving only one and a hall working days, in which they despatched about as much business as i will produce none at all the Legislature of the great State of Penn sylvania has in their s-js.-don of four months, or probably .would have done in four years. Some of the old members thought there was an unnecessary waste of half a day, as, by g'n Grand Committee on Wed nesday, Jjiey might have finished by Thursday night. Th.e next session of the General Assem bly will beheld on the 1st of June, when they will have five working days before them, and if any of those uuwiehily .State. which cannot pass their necessary laws without four ninths' quarrelling, nor then to suit themselves, would entrust their legislation to our General Assembly, they oudi nave oeuer laws irian they ever dreamed.of. Providence Journal. Bloody Scenes. The last St. Augus tine Herald," after noticing the cold blood ed assassination of General Reed, in Talla hassee, states that great excitement existed, and that there appealed some disposition to wrest the murderer, Willis Alston, from the hands of justice. In a postcript, it adds: -We learn lhat the sheriff of Leon county was compelled to shuot a man, who is not expected to recover, and that Harris, the city marshal, in another affair, was nearly cut to pieces by a man named Rog ers." 6 One day last week the horse attached to the Mail cart took fright whilst standing at the Rail Road Depot, and after running a short distance jumped over the outer rail ing of the bridge near the Depot and fell below, a distance of nearly foi ly fct Ujj. ing him instantly.

The officers in rags ask charily. 'Slothfulness, poverty in its most hide ous form and in the negro it is most hideous, alone meet your eye at the town of Port au Prince. The fields are orer run by brambles, logwood trees, and the rapacious lichens which obstruct the roads and destroy the old plantations. With the exceptions of a few gardens which are here and there cultivated by the negiocs gardens far inferior to those of our worst slaves there is r.o cultivation whatever. "The only product of the iland is coffee, and that every year diminishes so materi ally that the time is not far distant w hen it No more is planted, and the old coffee plantations are not even taken care of.
