frs than the citizens of our
neighboring states? I hesitate
not for a reply, for I feel well
assured that on this as on all
previous occasions, North Ca
rolina will not have to blush
for the conduct of her sons
the same generous glow of feel
ing which is evidenced on the
arrival of Gen. Lafayette else
where, in our country, will be
felt here the ready hand and
the willing heart, to honor our
country's champion. We can
repeat, in the fulness and joy
of our souls, as has ajready been
i,aid:
"We boii) not the neck,
"And we bend not the knee
"Hut our hearts, La Fayette,
"We surrender to thee."
I will close by suggesting to
vou fellow citizens, that it is
"high time that we should arouse
from our slumbers that we
were in action, or else we may
find our Guest arrived, before
the feast is prepared.
I would recommend an early
and complete equipment of an
uniform troop of Cavalry, in
each of our counties; those from
the three first named to meet
him on his approach to the fron
tiers of our state, together with
a deputation from the seat of
government to welcome him on
liis arrival. The Franklin troop
to meet, him at their county
line, and the Orange and Wake
troops, associated with the fine
troop which I understand will
inarch from Fayettcville, to
meet him on his entrance into
our county, and escort him to
the seat of Government, where
the whole will be joined by the
light infantry company of that
place, citizens, ladies, &c. &c.
with the fine band of music,
which they are now raising.
I would further recommend
a Corps of Horse, to be formed
of the whole of the uniformed
Militia Officers of the different
Counties, to be under the com
mand of the senior Colonel
Commandant of the several
regiments, to rendezvous at
Louisburg and organize them
selves; and the more readily
and easily to carry this measure
into operation advise all such as
are willing to volunteer for the
purpose, to inform Benj. B.
Smith, Esq. tPostmaster of this
place, immediately, by letter,
of their willingness, that the
practicability of the measure
may be ascertained at as early a
period as possible. If this plan
Elects with the approbation of
as many as fifty of the officers,
so soon as it is known when the
General will visit us, notice
thereof will be given through
the medium of our public jour

DIED,
In Northampton county, on
Wednesday, the 15th inst." Mrs.
Dolly R. G. Crump, consort of
JJr. James K. Crump, in the 18th
year of her age, after a long and
tedious attack of that destructive
disease so fatal in our climate at
this season, the billious, which, af
ter assuming a more imposing shape,
baffled the unremitted attention and
eminent skill of the visiting physi
cian. In the death of this truly
amiable and accomplished woman,
society has lost one of its brightest
ornaments, her husband an endear

lishers in New York to issue
their prospectus for a third c
dition, that the three may be
brought up equal and finished
together. The text is taken

present authorized version
with all the marginal readings;

has been ascertained by the best

JLIj the Subscriber, on the night of
the 8th instant, a bright mulatto
woman (slave) and her child, a girl
of about four years old. This wo
man ran away from the Subscriber,
executor of John Hunt, deceased,
in the summer of 1808, and passed
as a tree woman, bv the name of
PA TSEY YOUNG, until" about
the first of June last, when she was
apprehended as a runaway. On
the sixth of the same month I ob
tained possession of her in the town
of Halifax, since which time she
and her child ELIZA have, in
compliance with an order of the
county court of Franklin, been sold,
when the Subscriber became the
purchaser. She spent the greater
part of the time she was runaway
(say about sixteen years) in the
neighborhood of, and in the town of
Halifax, one or two summers at
Rocklanding, where I am informed
she cooked for the hands employed
to work on the canal; she also
spent some of her time in Ply
mouth, her occupation while there
not known. At the above named
places'she has many acquaintances
and friends. She is a tall, spare
woman, thin face and lips, long
sharp nose, her fore teeth in a state
of decay. She is an excellent seam
stress, can make gentlemen's and
ladies' dresses, is a good cook and
weaver, and I am informed is a
good cake baker and brewer, &c.
by which occupations she princi
pally gained her living. Some time
during Jast summer she married a
tree man of color, named Achrael
Johnson, who had been living in
and about Plymouth, and followed
boating on the Roanoke. Since his
marriage he leased a farm of Mr.
James Cotton, of Scotland Neck,
(Halifax county) where he was liv
ing, together with this woman,

The quarto edition is now
reduced to one dollar and twenty-five
cents per number. The
great demand for the work, and
t$ accommodate Subscribers of
limited means, the publishers
have also commenced the pub
lication of a royal octavo edi
tion, which will come at the re
duced price of fire Dollars per
volume, bound and lettered, or

red in numbers. Civillians, as
well as divines, and others,
have read the Doctor's lucid ex
