feci? r FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1S33. StarV Elections. In Vermont, the Anti-masonic party have succeeds! in elec ting their candidates for 5?t.-ite offices. In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ma ryland, the Juckson party exhibit a great increase in strength. In Georgia, Mr. Lumpkin has been re clpcted Governor by n majority of 2 or 3000 votes over Major Crawford, the candidate of the Nullifiers. In Tennessee, Mr. Grundy has been re-elected, on the 55th ballot, Senator to Congress. The first ballot stood, for Grundy 24, Foster 19, Eaton 17. The! iaat Grundj 33, Eaton 18, Foster 9. tI7The Opposition papers are circula ting rumors of distentions in the Cabi net at Washington, contemplated chan ges, Sec. The Globe has authoritative ly contradicted the rumored quarrel be tween Messrs. McLane and Taney, and we presume the other rumors are equally without foundation. Petersburg, Oct.2. Cotton.' -The sales Inst week wef to the extent of about 2,250 hales. The' price in the early prt of the week was 16 cents. It gradually declined to 15i, and rallied again to I5j, at which the market closed. The unfavorable ac counts from Liverpool received on Sat-1 urday evening, will no doubt cause some decline'ih prices. But the efi ct was not ascertained whn our paper went to press. Only a load or two sold at 151. Times. ' t Raleigh. Oct. 22. The ranches of brick Mores on Fayettevilh' street, with heavy granite fronts, are now so nearly! completed, us to give to he spectator! some detinue idea of what the appearance of our city will hR, wlu-o all its improve ments are consummated. Some oi.e has remarked that Ualeioh wdl be among the very handsomest towns in the Southern part of the Union, and we are confident the assertion will be sustained by all wnom easiness or pleasure may brim to our cuy -Register. A narrow Escape. We understand from the passengers who came in tho northern stage on Wednesday evening, that they made a most providential es cape in passing over the bridge at Wash ington. After the stage, containing ten passengers, including two ladies, had passed the centre of the bridge, it began to sink, the plank and sleepers crushing under it. The driver, Mr. King, imme diately pbed the lash to his horses, and for a moment the struggle was doubtful; the team however being fresh and pow ertul, surmounted the danger, and were enabled to keep in advance of the wreck, l oo much praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. King for his cool, intrepid and skil ful behavior on the occasion. We learn from the passengers, who afterwards re turned to view the scene, that so com plete was the wreck that a foot passer, ger could not have pnsd OV(,r lh,, ,.Pn tre of the bridge. Every sleeper was gone even the outside one., and manvof the plank, leaving gaps of three and four fet. VVe understand that the p;)8sen gn. presented Mr. King with a slight testimonial of their gratitude and admi ration ot his skill and presence of ln'Z. Newbem Spectator. Jnmty versus honpst dy, ... the upper pnrI of thi, h , determine.! to conform so far to the nble opportunny. rw H yankec pedlar made his appearand at lu r door, and her first enquiry was for the desired basket. Unfortunately Jon athan had nothing of the kind, and her disappointment was extreme. On sec ond thoughts, however, ho recollected that he had "one left" in the bottom of the wagon, and after some difficulty he pullet! forth a glittering tin foot-stove, which he declared was the very article she wanted; new, and of the most appro ved construction. Delighted that ho had "one left," and that the object of her anxiety was within her grasp, tho unsus pecting woman paid the price demanded, withdrew with her purchase, and the honest merchant went on his way in pur suit of new "speculations." ib. G7A destructive storm passed over Newbem on the 12lh inst, which prostra ted trees, fences, chimneys and even hou ses. It is supposed that at least 500 fruit and shade trees were destroyed. One of the houses blown down contained in mate, who however made their escape, onhurt, through the chimney place. The Spectator estimates the damage ut$4000. Alabama. A decision of importance has been made in Alabama, in regard to jtatc jurisdiction over Indians within its limits. A Cherokee Indian was indicted for murder, before the Circuit Court of the county of St. Clair, and when ar raigned, his counsel filed a plea to tho jurisdiction, and maintained in support of the plea, two points: 1st. That the State of Alabama has no right to extend its ju risdiction over the Indian nations within its chartered limits and 2d, conceding the right, the act of the Legislature did not embrace the case under consideration. The Court sustained the pleu, and dis charged the prisoner, upon the grounds that Alab ama had become a member of the Union with full knowledge of the treaties subsisting between the United States and the Cherokee, and that those treaties, hiving guaranteed the soil and and the jurisdiction to the Indians, the Slate has no right to either. This question differs from that of Geor gia in the important particular, thut the treaties adduced in liar of the Slate, were in existence before the State was admit ted into the Union, and as such are parts of the condition of admission. In Geor gia, the Slate claimed rights antecedent to Uie treaty. Halt. Anicr. law at its next session, declaring tliut mutton is sheep, else our farmers and housewives will ere long feel tho want of good blankets and warm clothes. Milton Spectator. A Speck of IVar. New York papers of Saturday have the following extract of a letter, dated Vernon, Alabama, Sept. 30: "The Governor of our State has order ed out the militia to fight the U. States troops in the Creek Nation." Can it be that the fever of Nullification has broken out so severely in Alabama Gov. Gayle is tainted, but we can hardly credit that he has committed an act of such madness. Prtinsylvanian. West Point Academy... For some time past an angry cloud has been gathering :.. .1... ur . . . . n oj mo west, in relation to the Military Academy at West Point. The first indi cations were manifested in Ohio. In I ennessee the storm begins tn rnnr. Mr. Cannon has introduced a preamble iinu resolutions to the Legislature, decla ring the Academy "inconsistent with re publican institutions, and dangerous to ine principles of free government," and instructing the Representatives of the Si ate to use their exertions to repeal all laws authorising the Military Academy to be kept up, &c. Mr. Cannon is a strange name for the opposer of military institutions. ib. Mutton not Sheep. At the late Coun ty Court of Person county, N. C. a man was indicted under tho last act of the General Assembly forbidding the trading with slaves for sheep and other articles therein mentioned. In this case the de fendant was charged with having pur chased from a slave, the property of I. E. n sheep. It turned out in the evidence that before the sheep was sold by the slave, it had been butchered, and was ready for pot. The counsel fur the de fendant contended that the evidence did not sustain the indictment, and so the ju ry found, and the defendant was acquit ted. Our Legislature will have to pass o Salisbury Contention. This Conven tion' assembled on the 17th inst. Gov. Swain presided, Gen. Patterson of Wilkes, und John W. Iluskc of Fayette villo acted as Secretaries. We learn that 14 counties were represented that the Convention passed resolutions recom mending to the Legislature tho patron age of the State, to works of internal im provement. No special plan was adopt ed by the Convention. Fay Jour. Apprehension of a Murderer. Jus tice, it seems, has speedily overtaken the wretched culprit Mark Jones, who stab bed and killed Mr. James Williams last week, in Pasquotank county, N. C. lie was recognized while in Gosport on Monday last, to which place he had come with the intention of shipping on board one of the United States vessels about to sail hence for a foreign station and im mediately apprehended and committed to jail in Portsmouth. Norfolk Ilcr. Balloon Ascension. Mr. Durant, the Eronaut, ascended in his balloon from Baltimore, on the 14th inst. The wind being light, he continued for 30 minutes in sight of the multitude assembled. He intended to cross the Chesapeake Bay, but finding that he had not time to reach a place of safety on the Eastern Shore before dark, he descended on board the steamboat Independence, which was then on her way from Baltimore to French town. Neither his balloon nor himself experienced the slightest injury, and to such perfection has he brought the art of navigating the air, that he descends at pleasure to such u distance from the earth as to converse with its inhabitants, and then rises again. The hazardous experiment of crossing the Bay, which is there several miles wide, was undertaken voluntarily. ray. Obs. Infatuation. About two years since Peter Jones, a Chippewa Indian, and a iuctliodist missionary, was sent to En gland to obtain pecuniary aid for the In dian mission cause in Upper Cauada. While at Lambeth, a mutual affection was contracted between him and a beau tiful girl, the daughter of a wealthy and respectable man: and it was agreed be tween thctii to meet at New York at n specified time and celebrate the nuptials tney met accordingly, and were mar ried; and have gone to their wigwam in Canada. She brought with her tho fur niture necessary for furnishing an elegant nouseiioid establishment. Liberia. Our accounts arc up to the 8th of August.

Squinting. A New York paper statcg. that Dr. Scudder of that city has provi. ded a remedy for Squinting. In proof of its efficacy, says the Commercial Adver tiser, wo were shown on Saturday, a lad of about 11 years of age, who had been operated on by Dr. S. and restored to sight, of which bo had been deprived about two years ago by the bursting of a gun, which inverted in its socket. The; eye was replaced and vision restored. A. patent has been obtained, we understand, for the instrument with which it was ef fected; and should the Doctor succeed in uniformly regulating the optic axes so as to remove .the hindrance and deformity, he will have performed a valuable service. (Er'Tlio Mormonites, who have been holding for some time, a meeting at Sa co, (Maine,) have made many converts from amonst the most respectable, citi zens, who actively exert themselves for tho purpose of promulgating, as they say, "the greatest light that has ever yet dawned upon the mysteries of an awful eternity."
