Races. There will be a great
show of Horses at the races on
the Union Course, (Long-Island,)
which commence on Tuesday
next. Eighteen who arc to per
form in the different trials of speed
which will take place in the three
days racing, have already arrived
on the ground, and taken stables
in the neighborhood of the course.
A number of well bred, first rate
horses, and beautiful blood colts,
will be ottered for sale by auction
on the course; and among the
number are the celebrated Eclipse
and Henry. We should regret
to have the former leave his na-
jtive home, since he has done, and
is doing, so much to improve the
; breed of horses in this section of
the country. We therefore hope
some spirited wealthy gentleman
in this state, will step forward and
prevent, not only him, but Henry
also, (who is nearly his equal,)
from going abroad.

Faycttcvillc, Oct. 10. At Ro

last week, Nat, a negro man be
longing to Thomas G. Chambers,
was tried and convicted for felo
niouslv burning the dwelling
house ot 31. Murchison, of Rich
mond county, in Mirch 182G, and
was sentenced to be hung at Lum
berton, on the 2d of November
next. The evidence in this case,
which was altogether circumstan
tial, unfolded a scene of the most
horrid brutality, and left no doubt,
but that the prisoner had not on
ly burnt the house, but had previ
ously murdered Mrs. Murchison.
Her remains were found the mor
ning after the fire, in such a posi
tion, as to force the conviction,
that she had been murdered by
means ot a gun barrel, then
thrown upon her bed, and consu
med with the house. Jour.

To the Public Office of the
Petersburg Republican, October
10, 1827:
Circumstances beyond my con
trol, have compelled me to sus
pend for a while, but I trust for a
short time only, the publication of
the Petersburg Republican. 1 re
gret this step exceedingly, espe
cially at this moment, when the
dibits of every man ought to be
enlisted by the truly great and in
teresting election on which the
American people will be shortly
called upon to act: And 1 cannot,
in this, the last address, which,
for a time, I shall be able to make
to my fellow citizens, omit to re
mind them of the necessity of
guarding against the many venal
elibrts that are made to mislead
them in regard to that important
question.
So soon as my present difficul
ties are removed, I shall, under
the auspices of a generous public,
resume my labors with renewed
alacrity, and with all my energies
directed to render the Phenix that
shall spring up from the ashes of
the Republican, a beacon-light on
the watch-tower of liberty a
faithful sentinel on the ramparts of
freedom. E. PESCUD. 1
