(jyFrom the north, west, and south, we hear continued complaints of the extensive injuries occasioned by the heavy rains which for the last three weeks it appears have generally prevailed. The crops in this vicinity have suffered severely. Our water courses have been swollen to an unu sual height, and the roads, bridges, low grounds, &c. much injured, the Roanoke, we are told, not been so high for' the last forty years. John Randolph is no more! The Philadel phia Saturday Evening Post, of the 25th nit. says: The Hon. John Randolph of Roanoke, celebrated for his abilities, his eloquence, and his; eccentricities, died yesterday, about noon, of consumption, in the 60th year of his age, at the City Hotel, in this city. He continued sensible lint il the hour before he died. He was on his way to Europe, intending to sail in the Monte zuma; but arrived too late. We learn that he manumitted all his slaves, amounting to more than one hundred, by his will." QJ public meeting of the citizens of New bern was held on the 18lh ult. at which several resolutions were passed expressing regret and indignation at the lale assault committed by Mr. R. b. Randolph upon the President of the Uni ted States. (JjTExtract of a letter to the Editors of the Fayetteville Journal, dated Poplar Hill, May 14: Gentlemen: I wish to correct an extract which I saw in your paper of the 1st insl. taken from the Tarborough Free Press. The verdict of . the Jury of In quest was that James II. Cook, came to his death by the improper use of lauda num, administered to him by one Wom en, on the 13ih day of April, 1833. From the general bad character, which was re presented to the Jury, of Wooten, they did not pretend to know with what intent the laudanum was given. The Jury wished to have Wooten before them, and 1 sent the sheriff in search of him, but he could not be found. I should have com mitted him, as I view it a wanton act. and one that shows a disregard for the life of his fellow man. It was owing to the ill ness of my family, that I could not give that attention to the inquisition that it de manded from me. Your obedient servant, Jer. Benton, Coroner. and myself being still on my mind, I al luded to it in the manner stated in the said extract. To day, Major 11. and myself compared reminiscences of that conversation, and he answered me I mis understood him in some things that he spoke of some of these from reports on ly, and not from his own knowledge; and that I improperly confounded the western absence of the President, and the other members of the administration. On reaching New York, the President and his twosecretarie3 will be joined by the Vice President, and the whole party wdl then go down to New England, as far as Portland, in Maine. The institutions of that interesting section of the country will be an obiect of much curiosity io IIIUl I lllipiUIOIIJ UUllllUIIUOU ll.WMUHy.." " - J fhn President, having never before nan with the matters spoken of, and which ;an opportunity of forming an opinion ot were referable elsewhere; and that as to-them trom personal Kuowieuge those Badges, he intended to be uuder- From the Raleigh Star. May 21, 1833. Messrs. Editors, The Tarborough "Free Press" of the 18th inst.. informs me, that the Washington "Globe" has published an extract of a letter written uy meio a mend in that city,, as its au thority for saying that Badges or " Me dals," such as are described in said ex tract, had been made in South Carolina. This information surprises me, as no part of that letter was intended for pub lication, or expected to be so used; but was written in the course cf a friendly correspondence, in which 1 was reques ted by my friend to communicate what ever of interest might transpire within the circle of my acquaintance and cou pled with said request was a question in which Major llinton's name was men tioned. In replying to that question, th f "rfi'c conversation between the Mnjor stood as saying, that the passing about in South Carolina, as it was said, of persons with such Badges, was the sub ject of conversation in the part of this Slate where he then was, not intending himself to vouch for the main fact. I can readily see, from the nature and circum stances of the aforesaid conversation and its various topics, how I fell into the misapprehensions referred to; but the bare word ofMijor Ilinton is sufficient for my making the correction: and beside, I am unwilling that any misconception of mine should for one moment disquiet so valued a friend. I therefore cheer fully rise from a sick bed to make the correction. If he were my enemy, J would not do less. It is also proper to remark, that most of the residue of the s.iid extract are mv own deductions from the general scope of that conversation, and the spirit of a portion of the public press, and that of certain political len ders and what appeared to be visible on the surface of things growing out of th' Proclamation, Force Bill, Tariff, U. S. Bank and slavery and the prob able effect of all these upon the next elections in this State, and on the future condition of the country generally: all of which subjects were discussed between us at that time. Mijor 11. however thinks that some of the expressions 1 used, were stronger than he would have employed, and particularly in reference to the feeling in Western Cainlina re specting the "taint" mentioned in said extract and that however some in that section tnay think and speak and act up on that subject, he is confident that the attachments to the Union of the great body of that people are too deeply fixed to be shaken. 1 gladly mention this, because it is creditable to our neonlai I need not say that both Major Hinton and myself very much regret that our names have been so unexpectedly and unpleasantly brought before the public. Yours. JOS. B. HINTON. fl?We learn that R. M. Saunders, of this city, has been appointed a Commis sioner, in place of Mr. Williams resign ed, under the Convention between France and the United States. We take it for granted, as this is a temporary trust, it will not interfere with the duties of Ins present station, and of course he will not resign the office of Attorney General of the btate, which he has discharged so much to the satisfaction of the public. Raleigh Constitutionalist, The President's visit to Neio England. The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian says: With deep regret we learn from Wash ington that the health of our venerable President is not, at this moment, so ro bust or so vigorous as usual. The fa tigue growing out of the last session of Congress, and the incessant and remark able attention which he has paid to the faithful discharge of his various public duties, could not fail to affect a frame which had, ere he was called to the Pres idency, endured more hardships, for the honor and glory of his country, than that of any man now living. We learn, however, that the President is fully determined to make his intended visit to iew Kul' and. if his stain nf O 7 health will at all warrant the fatigue of the excursion. In such case he will leave Washington sometime afier the ,2Gth inst., accompanied by the Honora ble Mr. lULane, then probably the Sec retary of State, and the Honorable Mr. Cass, Secretary of War. Mr. Dunne will probably be appointed to the Treas ury Department about the same time, Mr. Woodbury will have returned from the south, and both he and Mr. D unne will remain at Washington during the Notions from Connecticut. The Hartford (Conn.) Daily Review says "From a rumor set in motion, by the Middletown Sentinel, it would seem that our worthy President has some other mo tive for visiting 'down East,' than mere ly to see our spinning jennies and power looms, to wit, the sparkling eyes of some 'bonnie lassie,' or 'jocund widow,' in Litchfield county. Names are not given, nor does it appear when the old General is to surrender." To which a New Haven paper rejoins: "We do not answer for facts, but the lady referred to is now in this city, and is altogether worthy of the diadem." 07The companies of U S. Troops that were, a short time since, ordered from Charleston, and marched through tiie Cherokee country within our limits, h ive been stationed, we understand, on the borders of North Carolina and Ten nessee. This was done, we learn, at the request of the Indians and the Gov ernor of North Carolina, to prevent irilru Mon upon the Cherokee territory within the bounds, but out of the organized ju risdictional limits of those States. Milledgtvillv. Jour. Another Disaster The schr. Oriole, Capt. Boyd, sailed from this port on the 15th inst. with a etirgo of corn and tar bound for Boston. On Tuesday lat, while beating out of Teach's Hole, went ashore on the S. E. point and bilged. Washington Union. The Swash. We are gratified to learn that the operations at the swash are pro gressing under the most favorable cir cumstances. The large fc new Dredging boat has been at work more than a month, and the old one having undergone thor ough repair, left this place yesterday for I be purpose of resuming her station. This undertaking was at first regarded as an experiment of doubtful character; but, from the depth of water already effected at the most difficulty points, and from the permanency of the work al ready accomplished, notwithstanding its exposure to severe gales, it is now ac knowlcdged to be perfectly feasible and the certainty of its early completion may be confidently expected. The difficulty of procuring the necessary vessels and machinery, and the delay consequent up on an undertaking of such magnitude, having been overcome, the skill and en ergy of the Engineer will henceforth be directed to the successful prosecution of tne enterpnze. 1 here is, we are inform ed, every reason to expect that by the month of October next, vessels drawing from 8 to 8 1-2 feet water, will pass from Pamtico Sound through the new chan nel, directly to sea. Neicbern Sentinel. Newbern, May 24. A report has been for some time current here that Mr. Jo seph W. Tisdale of this place, now a resident of Mobile, had killed a Mr.Bren ner of that city, under circumstances unjustifiable and aggravated. It gives us great pleasure to state, from authen tick information, that the latter part of the report is entirely groundless. In an affray which took place between a Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Holly, the gentleman by whom Mr. Tisdale is employed, and while Mr. T. was exerting himself to pre vent the interference of O'Connell's friends, the deceased struck him nn tNJ head with the butt end of a heavy double barreled gun. As soon as Mr. Tisdale recovered from the stunning effects of the blow, he seized a loaded pistol which was in. the store, and as Brenner again advanced towards him with a drawn dirk in his hand, he lodged the contents in! his body. Mr. Tisdale immediately gave himself up to the Mayor of the city, who admitted him to bail till the meeting ofiht Court. This took place a few weeks ago, and after a thorough investigation 0f the case, the bill of indictment was reject ed by the Grand Jury. Spectator. Raleigh, May 28. The Federal Court had not adjourned when our last paper went to Press. It was stated however in a Postscript, that the important Land case which occupied so much time in its trial, had resulted in a verdict for the Defendant. Of the individuals indicted for counterfeiting Notes on the Bank of the United States, and ordered to this Court from Lincoln county, by his lienor Judge Seawcll, only one individual was convicted; the evidence not being conclu sive as to the guilt of the others. The person convicted, was indicted in the name of John S. Smith alias John S. cott. He was sentenced by the Court to stven years imprisonment. John I. Mills, who was at the last term of this Court, convicted of advising the robbery of the mail, and whose case was carried to the Supreme Court of tne United States, was sentenced to ten years im prisonment. Abel Turner, who was at the same term, convicted of counterfeiting U.S. Bank notes, and whose case was also carried to the Supreme Court, was sen tenced to three years imprisonment all in the Jail of this City. Reg. G?A gentleman lately died in Massa chusetts, who had held his seat in Con gress for forty years in succession, hav ing maintained his popularity throughout the whole of that long period, by uni formly voting in the negative. If a bad law was passed, his name was always found among the nays if a good law, no inquiry was made as to who voted for or against it. Our own venerable Mr. Macon voted for the declaration of War against Great Britain, but voted, we believe, against nearly all the bills (if not every one of them) appropriating money to carry it on or declined voting altogether. ib. Georgia Convention This body has adjourned, after agreeing upon a basis of reduction. Hereafter, the Legislature is to be composed of 189 members, of which, 45 will constitute the Senate. ib. C?The indictment against the Mayor and Aldermen of Boston, for having made a false return of votes at a recent elec tion, was tried on Monday, and a ver dict of not guilty was promptly rendered by the Jury. Cholera in Missisippi. We learn from the Vicksburg Advocate of the 1st inst. that the Cholera had reappeared in that town, 20 cases and 7 deaths having occurred from the 20th to the 29th of April. There had been no new cased for the two last days. The Cholera is stated to have again broken out with violence at New Orleans. Boston, April 13. A few days ago two colored men gave information to some members of the Anti-slavery Soci ety, that a negro slave from one of the southern States was on board a schoon er in the harbor, that he was very desi rous of escaping, and that he was watch ed for fear of his running away. The name of the vessel, as afterwards asser lained was the Vienna, her master's, Lo renzo Dow Morgan, and the slave's, Burton Spicer. She is said to be bound to New York. A writ of habeas corpus was, on the petition of one of the mem bers of the society, immediately obtain ed from the Supreme Court, and served upon the Captain; and Spicer was shortly after brought up to the Supreme Court Room. Before the Judges would take cogni zance of the case, it became necessary to show that Spicer was detained against ins wm. ne was accordingly interrog ated upon the subject by the council, and informed that he was free in Massachu setts, and that no doubt the Court would o pronounce him if the case was permit ed to proceed. The poor fellow seemed very much agitated, and his whole frame
