C. went, on Wednesday last, to the or chard of a man by the name of William Watson, who lived in her neighboih od. and was in the act of gathe.ing a few plums, when she was discoveied by Wat son who very deliberately left his work, went to the house and got his gun, walked towards her until he was near enough, took leliberate aim, and shot her dead on the pot. It is said that Watson is about 65 cars of age and the only reason alledged by him for this rash act was that she hail conjured him. He has been arrested and conUued in Martin ( o. jail.

The Oxford Mercury of the 26th ultimo, says: Last week was an exciting one for our village; the Annual Convention of the Protestant Eoiscopal Church was in session, and the town was flooded with people. A numbe. of strangers from a distance were here, and all was bustle and excitement. The de liberations of the convention were conduct ed with the utmost harmony, and a truly Christian spirit pervaded the assembly."

Danville Rep. (JfThe Norfolk Herald of last Monday week savs: "A hostile meeting with pis tols took place in the grove in the rear of the Naval Hospital at this place, on t riday last. between midshipmen James J. Wad dell and Archibald H. Waring, both attach ed to the receiving ship Pennsylvania, when at the first fire Mr. Waddell receiv ed his adversary's ball in the right thigh, by which the bone was shockingly fractur ed his own pistol missing fiie. The wound, it is feared, will prove mortal. Waddell is from North Carolina and Wa rm from South Carolina, both are un- r der 20, and neither has been more than eight months in the Navy. ' The quarrel. it is only necessary to say, originated from a trifling cause." The Norfolk Bccon, ot I uesday, says the wound received by Midshipman Wad dell, in the duel above mentioned, is not likelv. (as was feared atone time.) to prove mortal, and that he was better on Monday. Extensive Fire in Norfolk.

From the New Orleans papers of the 21st ult., we learn that on the previous day, the peo ple of that city were in a state of great ex citement, owing to the vast depreciation of ihe notes of the Municipalities, which took place immediately upon the resumption of specie payments by the banks. The Pic- a ulie says: About eight o'clocli a crowd of some thousand persons collected on the public square. They were men who do business in a small way about the lower markets Frenchmen, Spaniards, Italians, &c. Af ter some brief but agrarian addresses from some of those among them, they proceeded to the building in which are the Mayor's office and the Treasury of the first Muniei- paliiy. Here they became extremely cla- I i c . t. .1 . m')rj"s' anu Kae """ "l minaiion to ou.race Dom .aw anu uruer- .... '-' . , 1 'T were me' oy l,,e i,,aJor'w" as" red them that all excitement and apprehen Ision about Municipality notes were ground less that the Municipalities would pro vide for the payment of them at par value, and he therefore requested them to dis perse and go home. 'This did not seem to satisfy them; every man was loud in urging his own complaint. The Maor said it was impossible for him to reply to them all, but suggested that if a committee of three from among them would come up to his office, he vvas prepared to hear any thing they had to siy, and to give them such ad vice as he thought most conducive to their interest. A committee was ap pointed, who, with the Mayor, retired to his office, and it was in their abscence that some one in the crowd cried out in French "down with ihe brokers! down with the brokers!" which seemed to be the signal for a general rush up Chartres street. On reaching the corner of Camp and Canal streets, they simultaneously broke in and commenced plundering four of the Ex change brokers' offices located there. Some appropriating to themselves the spoils, some breaking the counters and windows and dashing the specie about all appear ing inclined to carry on and consumma'cf the work of destruction. With the love of law and order characteristic of our citizens, they ran to the rescue, drove off and dis persed the mob and secured some eight of those most prominent in the work of robbe ry and demolition. The whole city now became a scene of general excitement. Jt was rumored that an attack would be made on the Second Municipality jail, and an attempt made to release the prisoners caught in the act of plunder. I he citizens of this Municipal, ty, to the amount of some hundreds, armed and placed themselves under the command of the veteran Col. White the Washington Battalion and the Legion tur ned out-the "great guns" were put in or der, and every thing bore the appearance of s city under martial law. Nothing, however, occurred- througn! the day after the sacking of the brokers' offices. The councils of the different Municipali ties were immediately called together and made arrangements for the immediate re demption of their issues, and it was sup posed, all trouble would therewith end. (7 We gain the following interesting information from the last- Intelligencer in relation to the Cotton Factories of, Peters burg: Capital invested in Cot ton Factories $1,200,000 Number of Spindles Looms Yards of Cloth made per day Number of white operatives employed Number of persons deriving support from the Facto . ries 25.000 724 20,959 1,440 2,550 By the arrival of the Columbia steam ship at Boston, Liverpool and London papers to the 10th of M y, have be;n re ceived. We have advices relative to the Liver pool Cotton Market to the 18th Only a very 'moderate business was e!one on that day; there was. howeve -, no change"" in prices; and the transactions allogc'her amounted to 2,000 bales 1500 American 4d; 80 Marnham 5 1-2 a G I . Money is abundant in England. Good bills can be discounted at three per cent.; and many of the first merchants, instead of employing their capital in the ordinary way of business, are seeking for its invest me it on loan fortunate if. they can obtain 4 per cent. A great disaster has befallen the-city of Hamburg, in Germany. A confligra- lion, unprecedented since the great fire of j London, has laid a large portion of the ci jty in ruins, after lasting 4 days, befoie any mastery was gained over the progress of I the names. It is s od that 60 streets, courts, j and alleys, and 15 public buildings in I all about 1 500 houses have fallen a sacrifice. The number of lives lost is said to be be tween 250 and 300. A frightful accident occurred on the Rail Road between Versailles and Paris, bv which 50 persons were killed and 150 wounded. Another conspiracy had been detected to assassinate the King of the French, and a number of persons had hecn arrested. FOR THE TAHBORO PRESS. A HORRID PICTURE-A DREAM. 1 drunkard, a tobacco chewer, a smoker and a snuffer all in one. He looked so gruff, With snout clog'd with snuff, His lips with tobacco juice smear'd, H is eyes all ablaut. His soul all afloat In liquor I viewed him and fear'd And what was my fear? He gave me a scare, For in him I saw but myself; From that very hour I've strove 'gainst power, To lay the bowl up on the shelf. Yes, I saw with pain, in that picture plain, A part ot myself if not all; I both drink and smoke, And b'lieve it's no joke, They're the cause o' many a downfall. I 'woke, 'twas a dreamj And yet it doth seem Reality not a vision, For since, 1 have seen, Wiih "optics" quite "keen," The like with perfect precision. So henceforth 1 swear, It shall be my care, To imitate not that picture; Neither smoke, nor drink, Or indulge I think In the damning compound mixture. For life it annoys, The mind it destroys, And renders a man a brute too; A moth in the purse, To mankind a curse. To the body pains acute too. So down with the bowl, For the sakeo' the soul, For the sake o' the mind and body; And drink ye no more, There's an evil safe In smoking, and drinking o' toddy. JEREMY DIDDLE. r.3- DIED, At her residence in Edgecombe county N. C. on the 29ihMayJast, aged 8S years and 13 days, Mrs". Catharine Johnson, the highly respected relic ft Amos Johnson, Esq. She waacrnmunicant of lorfg standing, havingHeen an exemplary and pious member of the Baptist chorch for the last 60 years of her life. She was an affectionate mother, a charitable neighbor, and vvas kind and forbearing-in all of her domestic relations. Her loss will be deeply regretted by every lover of Christian srmpticitjr ah moral lectitude. There wars a harmony in her character, a beauty in her life, and a quietness in her intercourse with the hu- man iamny, wn cu nieucd uuman exten si ve acquaintance, atl enviable portion of esteem and veneration. Her life was a pattern of every thing desirable in the fe male character and the serenity with which she gave up the position she thus oc cupied, was a noble and dignified commen tary on an unsullied lifeof purity and hy man benevolence. Thu9 died a woman, good without pretence. Blest with plain reason and with sober sense; No conquest she, but o'er herself, desired, No arts essay'd, bat not to be admired. Passion and pride were to her soul unknown",' Convinced that virtue only is our own; Ho unaffected, so composed a mind, Ho firm, yet soft, so strong, yet 90 refined.' June 5th, A. D. 1842. X.
