(Q3 Accounts from the western parts of this State, represent Mr. Henry's pros pects as very cheering and continually brightening. Messrs. Wise and Stanly. The fol lowing is a condensed statement of the rise and progress of the late quarrel between these persons. Mr. Stanly in debate inti mated that Mr. Wise had bull-dogged Mr. Whitney, in a committee. Mr. Wise ask ed, does the gentleman say I bull-dogged Mr. Whitney? Mr. Stanly made an eva sive answer, when Mr. Wise repeated the question. Mr. Stanly replied in the same manner. Mr. Wise then called him a cow ard. Mr. Stanly said, let the gentleman try me; he shaii see who is a coward. A few days afterward, Messrs. Stanly and Wise riding on horseback on the race course, Mr. Stanly rode up against Mr. Wise, when in a mud hole, nearly jostling him out of his seat and bespattering him with mud; Mr. Wise then rode up to Mr Stanly and struck him with a cane, re marking, take that and the coward, damn you. Mr. Stanly said, he did not see him. Mr. Wise replied, then I excuse you. Mr. Stanly then charged him with acting as a damn'd coward, in striking an unarmed man. Some person interfered, and the parties separated. The following particulars we get from me uateigh Mar: A. corresponueni oi me Philadelphia Journal says, "Mr. Wise's favorite weapon and distance is the pistol and ten paces. Stanly is a good shot. 1 he parties are on equal terms." it is said that Mr. Stanly went out of the Dis trict to prepare and send his challenge and receive the answer: that he settled all his affairs before he left: and that he isengag ed in practising. It is also said that while practising, one of his balls rebounded and struck his friend Reverdy Johnson of Bal timore in the eye, and it is feared he will lose the use of that organ. Others say his eye was injured by a fall from a horse. The families of Mr. Wise and Mr. Stan ly are both in the City of Washington. Some paper from New York, we learn, brought a report to this city on Monday e vening that a duel had actually taken place between Messrs. Stanly and Wise, and that the latter was killed on the second fire. We do not believe a word of it. Mr. Wise was at his post in the House of Representa tives on Friday the 20th. Congress. In the Senate, on Friday A nnnrlinn min D'lt in--!,, uiv ..jjvi uuiiiucui rim was re ported trom the Judiciary Committep with amendments. The ratio fixed by the House was 50, 179. The committee of the senate proposes to reduce the ratio to 50 000 and to give one member to each Slate which shall have a fraction of more than 25,000. Another amendment nronoscs m strike out that portion of the bill which re quires the Mates to elect their representa Uvm on the Diitrict plan. In the House, on the 17th, an ineffectu al attempt to introdace a resolution for ad- ourninc the loth ol-june, and another member failed in attempting to bring for ward one to adjourn as soon as the revenue bill should be passed. (Tp'John M. Niles, (lately Postmaster General of the U.

Raleigh, May 10, 1842.$ To tiie Militia of North Carolina: Gentlemen: It has been suggested to me, as Adjutant General of the State of North Carolina, that I should reborn mend to your favorable consideration the holding of a Convention in the city of Raleigh, for the purpose of recommending to the Legisla ture some plan, by which the code for the regulation of the Militia of our State may beimproved; and, it is with the greatest pleasure, that 1 accord with the proposition. It is well known to every commanding Officer of our Militia, that the system, as it now stands, is so imperfect, that it is im possible lhat any perfection can ever be ar rived at in the discipline of soldiers. It is also well known, that the Laws for holding Courts Martial so clash, that, we are not able to try an Officer for the offences that he should be tried for; and there are many other imperfections that might be enumer ated. I would therefore recommend, that a Convention should be held for the purpose of correcting these errors, on the 4th of July, of the present year. I would also recommend that all the Ma jor Generals and Brigadier Generals in command, in the istate, be made Delegates to said Convention; and that each Regi ment in the State should send three or four Delegate-' to said convention; and that those Delegates should be selected with an eye- single to their Military qualifications. It has been suggested, that all the Dele gates to the Convention should appear in Uniform whilst in session. I his, howev er, being a matter to be settled by the Con vention I leave it entirely to the option ol the Delegates. My reason for not recom mending ihe Convention to be held in ihe Uniform ot the State, is that the Uniterm of N. Carolina is the same as that of the U- nited States, and there is a probability that , there will be a different Uniform adopted for the Stale. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. W. HAYWOOD, Adj. Gen N. C. M. All Editors, friendly to the objects of the proposed Convention, will doubtless confer a favor on the public, by giving the above an insertion. Rhode Island Import ant !! The last mail brings intelligence of an almost bloody scene, the flight of Dorr, and the probable termination of the Rhode Island troubles. From the night of the 17th to the close of the next day, was a time of deep and exci ting interest at Providence. Dorr was guarded on Federal Hill by six cannon and a force sufficient to resist any attack. The old charier party, under an Executive order, turned out to protect their property. The great crisis had ar rived. There was much skirmishing during the night. At 2 o'clock in the morning, the alarm bells were rung, and the suffrage men and the troops of the other party poured in from every quarter. The insurgents marched in full force to the arsenal, Dorr at their head, and deman ded possession. Col. Blodget refusing, they )0inted their cannon, and were ordered to tire by Dorr, which they did not! but par eyed awhile and retired. I he two parties were out nearly in their whole strength, armed to the teeth, and ma noeuvring in battle array all day, and a san guinary conflict was every moment'expec- teu. i ne cnarter parly were supported by uimeu oiaies troops in various sections ot the City. They marched to Dorr's head quarters and took possession of them the cannon pointing in their faces but the bird had flown thepseudo Governor had fled in the early part of the morning out of the State. A body of men were despatched in pursuit of him. The leadeis of the suf frage party dismissed their men, & advised them peaceably to retire, which was obeyed by all, except aoout lorty, who were drunk and would not leave the cannon. These Gov. King suffered to remain, on the prom ise ol one ol their leaders lhat when they became sober, the' should return the guns to the place whence they were taken and disperse. Nearly all the officers under the spurious Government had resigned, assigning as a reason, that they were not aupytcd to resist tht United States Govern ment, thou eh they did not acknow!edge( its right to interfere in the matter; and the only thing that yet looks threatening is, lhat the suffrage men in possession of the cannon continued obstinately to refuse to give them up; had built a breastwork, and the artillery company had threatened to take them by force. Ral. Star. - Anoiher Challenge. We learn from a Postscript to the Extra of the Spirit of the Times, that Mr. Long has desired the Ed itor of the Times to state that he will run Boston against Fashion for 20,000, S5,- 000 forfeit, Four mile heats, at any time to be agreed upon by the parties between the 25lh of SeDtember and the 25th ol October next. He also authorizes the Editor to state that he will bet $1000 he wins with Bo ton the regular Jocky Club Purse, four mile heats, on Fridav. on the Union Course', 81000 that Boston wins the Joe key Club Purse at Camden, and S 1000 that Boston wins the Jocky Club Purse at Tren ton, the week following! JJOld Boston, after being beaten by Fashion on Tuesday, rallied on Friday, and won the four mile Jocky Club of Si. 000. beatinn Mariner, who, until now. never has been beaten. The first heat w:sj&r. pertaining to the office, and consumed won bv Mariner, the second, by Boston, by half a length, and the third by a length, under whip and spur. Entering the last mile of the second heat, Mariner was ahead some ten lengths, and every body consid ered the Race lost; but, under severe appli cation of the whip, in the last quarter, Boston closed the gap, lapped, and came uut a length ahead. Ral. Reg. Repudiation. The Governor of Mich igan has issued a Proclamation repudiating j as the Deputy Sheriff commanded, he was about two millions, eight hundred thous- j instantly seized by three ruffians and car and dollars of the State debt for the rea- ! ried off to on adjacent swamp. The judge son that no consideration for the same has j repaired to the court room, made an ad been received by the commonwealth. It jdrevs to the populace, commanded theprin appears lhat the transferable bonds of the jcip.il Sheriff !o summon the posse and pur State to the above amount were loaned, or 'sue, bring back - he deputy, and ihe men sold to certain Improvement Companies,! who carried him off. The Sheriff led the who have not made good their engage-1 menus. In the meantime the bonds ha ing 1 been used by the Companies in carrying on their works, passed into the hands of 1 innocent holders, who received them ofj course as Uovernmeut obligations to be j redeemed in due lime. This pledged faith1 was all that gave value tothe scrip yet the Stale of Michigan refuses to acknowledge her own seal denies her obligation and , repudiates the debt ib. 1 ril m ing ton, May 1 4 . Fire. The Steam Saw Mill of Messrs. Poller &Kiddcr, together wath a large quantity of Lumber, was totally destro ed by fire on the night of Wednesday last. 1 here was an insurance on the mill of about seven thousand dollars. The loss on the lumber is estimated at three thousand dol lars. The cause has not yet been ascer tained. This is the second Sieam Mill destroyed by fire within the present year. Lierary News.

The Virginia Banks, it is said, will make an effort to resume spe cie payments before the first of November and even as early as the first of July. We hope and trust they will succeed; for the short experience we have had of the ef fects of their non-resumption since the northern Banks have commenced paying specie, induces us to apprehend the worst consequences from protracting the time. The discredit of their notes out of the Statts is an evil which does not affect them; bui it falls with a vengeance on the community. Of this no town in the State is as sensible as Norfolk, where although the Banks are in a condition to resume specie payments at an hour's notice, the depreciation and dis credit of the currency is actually driving the trade away from us to other States, where produce can be sold for specie a consequence to which, from the peculiarity of her location, JNorlolk is more exposed than any ol her sister towns. We are as sured by those who speak from experience, that in many cases persons bringing pro duce to our market from the adjoining state of North Carolina, have refused to sell it here at better prices than could be obtain ed in Baltimore after allowing for the dif ference in exchange insisting on specie funds in payment and positively refusing to take V irginia money at its current value ! This is a mortifying fact, as it shews the growth of a suspicion (however unjust it may be) of the solvency of our Banks, of which there is, in truth, no doubt whatev er. Our North Carolina neighbors them selves should remember that when we in Virginia were inundated with their notes which were then at ten per cent, discount, our merchants never hesitated to receive them at their current value, nor ever en tertained a doubt of the solvency of the N. C. Banks on account of the great depre ciation of the notes. But we have no right to complain of them. Our Banks have brought the evil upon us, and to them we! look for the remedy. We are glad there fore to hear that ahey are promising to make an effort to resume on the 1st of Ju- lv. Thev will doubtless be compelled to squeeze their debtors to enauietnem 10 ao so: but even that will be better man para lysing the operations of commerce and irrindiner those who owe them noinmg. O t ' . . . . i Should they voluntarily resume thus eany they will establish a confidence in their stability which it is in vain to expect they resume only on compulsion. Norfolk Herald. From the Charleston Courier. Scenes in Sumter, Georgia. Extract of a letter received in this city, dated "Fer rv. (Ga.l Mav 9. 1S42. The times are be cominir aonalline really alarming. We have just returned from .Sumter Superior Court. lis first day's session was this nay week. We took all our plain verdicts, entered up our judgments, attached notes put them back in the clerk's office, that night. Some ruffians, not wcertained who, but some six or eight must h ave been concerned, entered the Court House, car ried off the clerk's desk, in which was con tained everv paper, docket, record book, the whole by fire. There was nothing saved except the few cases the members of the bar happened to have in their hats and pockets. We lost every case but two, where judgment had been taken. Noies a'e gone also. No traces left behind. The next day, being Sheriff's sale day and a great deal of property advertised, the court proceeded on wi'h such cases as the bar had out, until sale hour arrived, when it suspended for tho sales and as soon way commanding the crowd of at leat 250, to follow and aid him the crowd went out, dispersed over the town, and not hall' dozen would go. The Sheriff and three or four approach- ed to near the place where the outlaws were, and a fellow came out with a double barrelled gun, and told the Sheriff there were 23 or 30 men in the swamp, well armed that he might advance, if he did he would do it at his peril that fifty mil lions of armed men could not capture the outlaws. The Sheriff had no arms and could get none to put into the hands of the friends of the law. We tremble for the country, for the perpetuity of ihe govern- ment. Moboeracy stalks abroad in noon dav sun, with impunity, and without a blush. God save the country, and destroy the spirit of mobish. " .LP V V Late from Europe.
