is a nut for the coalition to crack!

We arc authorised to announce
Ki:uu:'d Debkrky, Esq, of Mont
gomery County, (late Senator in
tjie State Legislature,) as a Can
didate to represent this District in
the next Congress.
We are also authorised to state,
that Mr. Culpepper, the late Rep
resentative, is not a candidate for
re-election.
We have unquestionable author
ity for stating, that James W.
Clark. Esq. of Edgecombe coun
ty, in this State, has been appoin
ted Chief Clerk of the Navy De
partment. Mr. C. is a gentleman
of high standing, so well known
as Clerk of our State Senate, that
it is needless to say, it is a most
judicious selection. Fay. Obs.
Raleigh, April 21. We learn
that two of our citizens who took
the Stage for the North on Thurs
day last, had their Trunks cut off
from the Stage, about half a mile
beyond Louisburg, on the Halifax
road. The depredation being
soon discovered, the gentlemen
left the Stage and returned to
Louisburg, where they engaged a
party to go out with them in search
of the Trunks and the Thief, and
they were so fortunate as to re
gain both their trunks and to ap
prehend the thief, a colored free
man, who is lodged in the Jail of
Franklin. One of the trunks had
been opened, and some articles
taken out and found in possession
of the offender, which were iden
tified by the owner. Reg.
Norfolk, April 18.
Another Enterprise on the Ca
nal. As a pleasing evidence of
confidence and public spirit, we
notice that an association of en
terprising individuals in this place,
contemplates the immediate es
tablishment of a line of Packets,
to run through the Canal, from
Norfolk and Newborn. One of
the Schooners, a vessel of impro
ved model and light draught of
water, is now on the stocks, con
structing by Mr. John G. Collcy,
and we learn will be in operation
in about 6 weeks. She is owned
by Messrs. William Loyall, Ro
berts & Clifford, Samuel Vickcry,
John G. Colley and Wm. D. Ro
bcrts,and will be commanded by
Capt. Edward L. Young, who
has the credit of planning tho en
tcr prize.
This company will not in any
wise conllict with the "Transpor

tant auxiliary in accomplishing
the objects ot that establishment.

The Grand Inquest of the coun-

all the business before cm, Carolina. It appears from the
deem it but respectful, that they Reports of the Comptroller of

the Grand Jury of Wayne Coun
ty, transmitted to them in rela
tion to the Hanks of this State, in
which an immediate call of an ex
tra Session of the Legislature, is
iccommended.
In regard to which, we do not
hesitate to declare, such a meas
ure would be highly improper and
'inadvisable. And whilst an extra
Session of the Legislature would
'ost the State ten or fifteen thou
sand dollars, wo conceive that no
possible good or advantage could
result from it to the community,
in as much as it would be submit
ting the same subject to the con
sideration of the same men who
have but recently decided upon it.
An: in the decision of our Lcgis
ture on that important, subject, we
most heartily acquiesced. In our
opinion, no Legislative interfer
ence could relieve the community
Jom their present pecuniary cm
''in assments. The only substan
tia relief will be found in increas
ed industry, prudence, economy,
"!Id mutual forbearance with each
and in abstaining from the

Since the destructive fire which
occurred in Savannah on the 9th
inst., there have been nine differ
ent attempts to set fire to that city.
The excitement was so great in
consequence of these diabolical
attempts, that the armed militia
were ordered out, the town sur
rounded, and strict search made
for suspicious persons, with what
success, we have not heard.
Several attempts have likewise
been made to fire the city of Au
gusta and the town of Camden,
and those places appear to be in a
state of great excitement and
alarm. Fay. Obs.

There is said to be a great de
mand for single ladies to make
loives of, in Indiana; so much so
that when a family of young ladies
arrive with their parents, from an
other state, they are courted with
the utmost assiduity, and if dispo
sed to say yes, are married in a
trice.
Counterfeit Dollars. Mexican and
Ferdinand dollars have been counterfeit
ed extensively, as is supposed, by a gang
of counterfeiters in Arkansas. On ex
amination at the Mint, the first are pro
nounced to be worth only 40 cents and
the latter 31. The manner in which
they are executed renders them extreme
ly mischievous in our currency. By a
chemical process, the external pellicle is
made to assume the appearance of good
silver; or rather, to be really good, bel
ter, it may be than standard, so that
even an experienced eye could not de
tect the fraad by inspecting the external
surface merely. The Secretary of the
Treasury has issued a circular to the
District Attorneys and Marshals of the
U. S. requiring them to use all diligence
in finding out and bringing to justice
those concerned in this business.
