As it is desirable Chat it should; be uniformly spelt, we have made some inquiries respecting; the origin of the name, and the most ancient mode of spelling it we have not obtained any satisfactory information respecting; the 'origin of the name, hut we find that on theCounty Seal it is spelled Edgecombe, and frm wnat vve can lar", this is the most ancient mode of spelling it con scq'Jidy, we think it ought to be ge nerally adopted. Foreign. A recent arrival at New York brought London and Liverpool papers, the former to the 24th March, the latter to the 2Gth, bolh inclusive. The political extracts consist principally of floating rumors, and the speculations of the British editors, respecting the si tuation of affairs in the East. In one pa ragraph we are told that war has been actually declared between Russia and Turkey, and that the Russians are ad vancing towards Constantinople in the r.cxt, that appearances arc pacific, and that it is doubtful if there will eventual ly be any war. Amid the conflicting statements it is almost impossible to con jecture the result, which time only can determine. I lie markets tor American Whetl ncss Secretary enquire: certain it i ti.nt honest people have been misled by it; and some of their idolatrous Editors, no doubt, believe that Mr. Adams, by his wonderful learning and talents, lias discov ered the Philosopher's stone, by which he can not only convert wine into Ebony and Topaz, but the leaden brain of his Secretary into pure gold. The truth is, that in the three years of Mr. Adams' administration, there has not been as much of the public debt paid by 813,702,789, as was required by law. That this sum is now du to the sinking fund, the Edi tors of the National Intelligencer must know; and yet they have co pied into their paper of the 29th ult. a silly article from the Mary lander, stating that, by July next, Mr. Adams will 1 lfivn nniH mnrn ie markets tor American ,imn tl . , .... produce remain dull and lan-uid-it is ' W "'""ons 01 me stated, however, under date ot Liverpool:1 UUJl uiereiore, re- 24th March, that there had been an im-' coitncnding him, in the strongest provement of 1-S per lb. in the price ; terms of panegyric, for President agam, Call you this honesty and o? dtiM on tlo aTkd"i Grccnsboro April 26-Tho Su rctnr f n Pan rior Court wm held this week, " k not material to Judffo Dnnipl nrrxairlino. rFho of Cotton.

Certain pa pers in the service of the malig hfiut. are giving Mr. Adams cre--'t tor great financial skill in the Nuluction of the public debt. His Secretary of the Treasury, in his tat annual report, has so stated l'o account as to lead some hon est, well meaning men to believe l?at, 821,207,210 93 of the prin cipal of the debt was discharged between the 1st of January, 1325 ?nd the 1st of January, 132; when ln truth, hut 16,297,210 93 was lid within that period. Under lh? act of 2Gth May, 1824, five pillions of dollars were borrowed ;jy the Government at 4 per cent. Merest, to redeem a like sum Jtandinjr flt 6 per cent. These ,,vc millions are, bv Mr. Rush, ed to the S1G,297,210 93, ac l"y paid, with which they had f natural connexion; thus mak (n? lllc gross sum of 821,297,210 ; " the credit side; and then to uncc the account, these five nillinns are charged on the debit 4Uo so much new debt. it Mr. Dates, ot Missouri, was the only one from the Western States, against it and all the members from the South-Western States, (Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana,) a gainst it. It was (says the Ga zette) sectional in its character, "cotton against wool, rum versus whiskey" 12 States against the bill, 11 for it, and 1 divided. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post, says: "The Tariff bill has passed the House, 105 to 94. In a full House the majority would have been ab out seven votes. Thus is the na tion in a fair way to be saddled with an additional tax of four mil lions, in time of peace, and with an overflowing treasury and all to promote the Presidential elec tion! Our late tariffs have all nnssed bv about half a dozen ma jority; and on this occasion, if ev- J i 1 1 . .J I u . ery member nau voieu us uu uu lieved to be most for the interest of the country, this measure would not have received forty votes." trial of Jesse Upton from the county of Randolph, for the mur der of his wife, was commenced on Wednesday morning, and last ed until Thursday night about 9 o'clock the Jury after being out two hours brought in a verdict of Guilt?. This morning the Judge pro nounced sentence of death upon the prisoner, when his counsel moved and obtained an appeal to the Supreme Court. This is the second time he has been found guilty, the first time judgment was arrested in consequence of infor mality in the proceedings, and a new trial granted by the Supreme Court. There must be some thing very unsound in the laws or the officers that execute them. Hannah Carter, also from the county of Randolph, was tried yesterday, charged with the mur der of her husband, and found not guilty. Patriot. Golden Opinions. The fol lowing are extracts of a letter re ceived by a member of Congress from North-Carolina, from a re spectable farmer, among his con stituents, whose standing gives weight to his opinions. Nat. Int. "April 1th, 1823. "We have lately discovered that our country abounds in Gold, more particularly the county of Guilford. Our Hint ridues have gold dust, more or less. Some are worth working, others are not; but it appears that there are is, in every neighborhood where the white and yellow flint abounds, gold dust. 1 have seen several grains of gold, found in Orange. There are, at this time, fifteen orj twenty hands working in the low-1 er edge of Guilford county, at a gold mine on the land of Moses Gibson. An extensive copper mine is discovered in Chatham county, south of Grocnsborough, in Guilford. There is more la bor done at gold mines, than on many farms. "Our common farmers in the upper counties are doinghothing, or, in other words, they are starv ing. This is not a wheat country, and if it was, the carriage of flour would destroy itself. The bot toms, on their rivers and creeks, are only good for corn and rye. My opinion is, that this country was intended by the God of Na ture to be a stock country: tins part of North-Carolina could keep pace with any State of the same size, in raising sheep: a bale of wool would bear carriage. 1 he Brushy Mountains ( in Surry, Wilkes and liurke counties would furnish pastures for many thou sand head of sheep, and if our sturdy men of capital would turn their attention to the establishing of manufactories, instead of mak ing their sons land or slave spe culators, &c, it would add much to the morality and industry of our country, and stop the tide of emi gration to the North and West. I hope the next region of gold to be discovered by the North-Carolinians, will be the employment of many shepherds on the Brushy Mountains, and other places, at tending large flocks of sheep. I am not entirely alone in this hope; we have a few men in North-Carolina that have not the same kind of eyes as the. Governor of Virgi nia. When I see bales of wool, as well as cotton, irt the markets of North-Carolina, I shall think that we are travelling in the right path. I think such steps ought to be pursued in Congress, as will, in the end, encourage the raising of hemp and wool. North Carolina is poor, as regards her navigation, but rich, with her in ternal resources and advantages; with a soil arid climate friendly to the raising of corn, peas, pota toes, rice, cotton, tobacco, rye, and wheat, and all other grains; with wool and hemp, altho' more moderate for hemp; with her miries of gold, copper, and iron, and many other things of great value, she may, at some day, vie in prosperity with the wealthiest States in the Union. From the above broken hints, you may dis cover my opinion of internal improvements." '! i il ii1 y ii hi i MARRIED, At the seat of Brigadier Gen. Jnc.
