We assure the Editor of the .Standard, that we marked for insertion, his answer to oiir call upon him, as eoon as it came to hand, and vve were not aware that it had not been inserted, until we receiv ed his last paper. It was forgotten, and we are sor ry that it was, but we are sure that it was marked and laid by for insertion. It appears this week, and is as follows : j A Call The Answer. We, are called upon by the Editors of the North Carolinian to publish the act passed at the late Whig" Legislature, which appoints aa Agent to collect the Cherokee Bonds. Our attention is also directed to sundry other matters relative to that " reform " body. We shall comply with the desires expressed in the "call,' so far as it may be in our power in the mean time our neighbor should recollect the old saying: "Rome was not built in a day." We cannot, at all times, have access to the necessary documents, and it is by no means certain that we can obtain the " legis lative action " on certain subjects till the Journals are published ; and we may be pre vented from this without a disposition on the part of any one to disoblige us. We cannot tell why the names of the debtors to the Board of Internal Improvement and Literary Fund were not made public ; but may come to the very probable conclusion that the " whigs" did not ehoose that the names of ichig " debtors should " meet the public eye;" and as they have so well succeeded in imposing upon a majority of the people of the State, they very naturally concluded that said majority would put up with any sort of folly and humbug. In fact, from wh it those who voted with the whigs" had already swallow ed, the " whig " Legislature had a clear right to infer they would swallow any thing. It is quite sufficient for the gulls that the Harrison majority in the Legislature of North Carolina, did not choose to tell the people icho borrow ed their money,- because "-hurra for Tip andTy" and that's enough! We believe the Committee of the Legisla ture made no "personal examination into the condition of our Banks." We intended to notice the Report ot this Committee on some proper and convenient occasion, which ex hibits, of course, all that was done on the sub ject. The Editors of the North Carolinian will see, at once, that all this is exceedingly proper requiring only a little of that " gener ous confidence ',' which is a very necessary appeudage to " Harrison reform." Our Legislature took no action on the sub ject of Abolition, to which it was invited by the government of Virginia. How could they? Would you have them fly in the face of the influence that controlled the Ilarrisburg Convention? Would you have them pay so little regard to the feelings of " old Tip" the President elect, as to make a hostile demons tration against this class of his political friends, and one of whotiis to be a member of his cabinet? Besides all other matters not forbiddiug the "whig" members of our " Harrison reform " Legislature, had enough to do to attend to the "spoils" a speedy division of these being a matter of paramount consideration to such things as Banks or the progress of Abolition. Should our establishment not fall into abler hands we shall most certainly "drag to light the wholesale and shameful extravagance of the last Whig' Legislature," &c. In regard to the usurpations of the late " Whig " Governor," we beg leave to ask to what particular incidents the Editors of the North Caroliuian allude whether they know of any thing more than what has been amply developed and fully cxposee in the Standard? THE NORTH CAMOILIINIIAN. Fr in tho Baltimore Sun. lectures on the Doctrines of Hie Ncff Jeru salem church, as taught by Emanuel Swcdcn- bors. The Rev. Mr Barrett, whose lectures on the doctrines taught by Swedenborg have at tracted so much attention in New York, is now in our city, and on Tuesday evening commenced a course of lectures on the same subject, in the New Jerusalem Temple, cor ner of Baltimore and Exeter street. The first lecture delivered by Mr Barrett, was on the New Church doctrine of the end of the world, or of the Consummation of the Age, as the original Greek should be rendered, ac cording to th-j New Church version. And, certainly, for calm, systematic reasoning, and logical conclusions, we have rarely listened to so able a performance. One of the premi ses from which the lecturer reasoned, was that canon of Biblical criticism which de clares that no prophecy is fully understood un til after its fulfilment. It was therefore but a rational inference to conclude that the prophetic parts of the New Testament, which were literally interpreted to mean the end of this material world, were not understood in the Christian Church, seeing that the world still continued uuconsumed by the fire to which scriptural interpreters had consigned it. But, when the doctrine of corresponden-J ccs, which had been revealed from the Lord for the use of his New Chuich, now forming in the world, was applied to the literal sense of the Word, and its spiritual and internal meaning thereby evolved, it was seen that wherever " earth " or " laud " is mentioned, lhe Church was signified ; and that, therefore, when the end of the world, or the consumma tion of the age was spoken of in the New Testament, the end of the first Christian Church was meant. It is remarkable, the lecturer went on to state, that in the Old Testament prophecies, which foretold the consummation, or end of the Jewish Church, an-uare similar to that in the New lesta jnent is used. There the church is spoken of as the "earth" and the "land.' lhe earth is represented as reeling to and fro like a drunkard, and the land Ls said to be con sumed by fire. And yet we know that none of these things ever occurred literally. Inus it was seen, that the principal of literal inter pretation, when applied to the Word, maae it too. often a dead and unmeaning letter. I he end of the world, therefore, according to Mr Barrett and the Swedenborgians, means the end of the first Christain Church, which is declared to be consummated; and the corn in" of the Lord in the clouds, means his se cond advent in the clouds of the literal sense of the Word. After citing many passages m which the words "earth " and " land" oc curred, and showing that they could not have any true meaning unless church were signi fied the lecturer referred to the Noachian Ueluge, and stated that the account of a flood contained in the Word did not mean a literal flood of water destroying the earth, but a flood of faUes overwhelming and consummating the Most Ancient Church. Water, he said, in the language of correspondences, when used in a good sense, was predicated of truth, and when used in an evil sense, was predicated ot its opposite,, or what was false. That there never has been such a deluge as the literal sense of the Bible would seem to indicate, all true science at this day contradicts; and any one, by making a few calculations, might, he said, readily convince himself that as exten sive a flood as that alluded to, never could have taken place." For instance, to have co vered the tops of the highest mountains in the time specified, it must have rained about thir ty feet per hour ! By the application of the science of correspondences, (which declares that all natural things correspond to spiritual things, and are, in fact, but their ultimates) Mr Barrett went on to say, that the account of the creation of man, as contained in the first chapters of Genesis, was seen to describe all the various states of the formation of the church in man up to the time of his full re generation, in stead of a literal account of the creation of the earth and the formation of man's natural body. The remarkable dis coveries in geology at the present day, he re marked, entirely set aside the literal transla tion of this account of the creation of the world. But we cannot follow the eloquent lecturer through the many really startling and imposing positions that he assumed, and went on to demonstrate with a dispassionate clear ness and fairness of argument, that it seemed impossible to controvert. Throughout the audience, there appeared to be an almost breathless interest ; and we doubt if there was one present who did not come away with a rational conviction in his mind, that the pre tensions of the new Church, demanding, as they do, the severest scrutiny and the most profound investigation, are not to be passed by with a jest or a sneer.

The late rains have swollen the Cape Fear and the Neuse to an unprecedented extent. The latter is flowing through the streets of Waynesboro', and was on the 16th within two or three feet of the railroad bridge which crosses it about three miles on this side of Waynesboro'. The Cape Fear has been constantly setting down stream for the last two or three days, and is now entirely over the peninsula which divides the North-east from the North-west: leaving no dam visible on Negro-head point but that bordering the canil, and presenting an unbroken waste of water from the eastern shore of the North-east to the western bank of the North-west. We have already heard of rafts of timber being broken up and swept away, and in one case, of the loss of a valuable negro fel low. Whatever may be the destruction of proper ty it will be less than it would have been un der the same fresh a month hence. Wil mington Jldvertiser. From t'ie Charleston Courier, 15th inst. GREAT FRESHET. THE RAILROAD MUCH INJURED. Probable, inundation of Jiugusla and Ham burg. The continued rains which have pre vailed for a number of days past, have doubt less been the cause of much damage and de struction of property in the interior. Its ef fects on the Rail Road, have been of the most disastrous character, and great fears are en tertained that Hamburg and Augusta have again suffered, even to a greater extent than during the freshet of last summer. We have had no mail from these places since Wednesday last. On Saturday, a Con ductor of the Cars on the Rail Road, arrived in town, who left Hamburg on Thursday morn ing last. He states that the water at that place, when he left, was within eight feet as hioh as at the recent innundation that the river was rising at the rate of 18 inches per hour and that the inhabitants were removing their families and goods, in the anticipation of the place being submerged. At Horse Creek, 4 miles from Hamburg, about 200 feet of the Road was entirely broken up; and at Edisto Swamp about a mile and a half of the Road was impassible. The Conductor reached Branchville on Thursday night, and started from there with a hand car at 11 o'clock on Friday, reaching Summerville at 10 P. M. from which place he came to town on Satur day morning. At Cattle Creek, 55 miles from the city, several hundred feet of the rail way is broken up. the trussle work washed away, and the rails held together only by the iron. In the course of the progress of the conductor and those in his company they encountered much fatigue, and had some narrow escapes of loss xt the foot of the inclined plane the banks were all falling in, covering the track of the road. i i 4 j i The locomotive Kavmel had started, on Thursday, to-ive assistance to passengers - r ' v v' coming down, and at Edisto Swamp, the road gave way, and threw her on the embankment, where she now lies. She had a freight car at tached, which floated off with the rail road hands, who were all, however, safe, the water at that point being 10 feet deep. . Tuesday, March 16. It is with gratification that we inform our readers that a note received last evening, from the Four Hole Swamp, gives much more favorable intelligence respecting the rail road than could have been expected. It is thought that passengers can be taken on Wednesday, for Hamburg, to get through in two days. The Agent is of opinion that the injury to the Road at Edisto River, and at Hamburg, will be much less than was antici pated, as the water was falling at both places on Saturday. Late and Important from South America Fifteen Hundred Men Killed! By the arrival of the brig Vesta, at New York, from Rio de Janeiro in 49 days, we have dates to the 14th December. She brought us the Despertador," published in Rio, to the Sth of January, inclusive. We have also re ceived advices by her from Montevideo to the 22d, aud from Buenos Ayres to the 14th of December. The " Despetador " of the 5th gives the particulars of the defeat of Lavalle by Oribe. Fifteen hundred men of Lavalle's army were killed. All his artillery and ninety wag ons fell into the hands of Oribe. Lavalle es caped with only four men, leaving behind the rest of his army, numbering about six hun dred men. There appeared to be a good deal of diffi culty in landing cargoes at Buenos Ayres. In consequence, captains were discharging their vessels at Montevideo on the 22 of December. That market had become there fore glutted, and goods in general sold very low. Don Pedro II, the young Emperor of Brazil, has ordered his minister to submit to him some plan for the education of his sub jects. The theatres at Rio were flourishing. The Emperor and all the nobility attend them re gularly. Bait. Sun. The Cloud Gathering. The Sandwich, U. C. Herald of the 17th February publishes the following paragraph: " War and Rumors of War. In a pri vate letter received by Saturday's mail from Toronto, is contained a rumor that the Medi terranean fleet has been ordered to the coast of North America! and that all officers be longing to the army, now on leave of absence, are ordered to join their respective regiments immediately. " We do not place much confidence in the report, but we think such a step highly neces sary at this present juncture. We can posi tively state, however, upon the best authority, that the lately vacated barracks at St. Tho mas are forthwith to be re-occupied by regular troops." Goon things from Liberia. We have received from the American Colony in Li beria, a present of sweet potatoes, oranges and limes, grown in that Colony, for which the donor will please accept our thanks. Owing to the long passage of the Hobart, by which they were forwarded, they are not as fresh as they might be, but are very palatable nevertheless. The sweet potatoes, though small, possess an uncommonly fine flavor. The oranges resemble in appearance those from Havana, but are not so tart. The limes are large, and sour enough for any body. We see no reason why there may not even tually be large exports of sugar, coffee, and other articles of husbandry from the Colony, to this and other countries. JV. Y. Journal of Com. U. S. Ship Potomac Advices from Montevideo to the 1st of January, received at this port, state that the U. S. ship Potomac, which had been ashore in the river La Plata. had been gotten off without damage, and was refitting. JSorfolk Beacon. Washington Correspon dence of the United Stales Gazelle. No. XLTI. Washington, March 10, 1841. The Cabinet Councils met twice on yes terday, and were deeply engaged in delibera tion and discussion on questions connected with our relations with Great Britain. Mr Cushing, a prominent member of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, in the late House of Representatives, remains here, and, as the rumor is, has been required to attend these meetings of the Cabinet, for the purpose of explaining the views taken in that commit tee on the subject of McLeod's arrest. It is generally believed that a demand has been made by the British government for the re lease of McLeod. The fact that he was im plicated at all in the destruction of the Caro line, and the murder of Durfee, is denied; and, if he had been a party to these acts, the British government throws the shield of na tional responsibility between the individual and the law, aud justifies McLeod as having acted in obedience to the orders of his gov ernment, and as being accountable, in no decree, for the consequences of his con duct. U. S. Gazelle. Proclamation. JMeeting oj the Legis lature. In our advertising columns will be found the proclamation of Governor Grason, convening the extra session of the Legislature of this State on Wednesday, the 24th of March next. Bait. Sun. A case in which a husband was sued for articles furnished his wife, after she had quit ted " his bed and board," was tried in New York on Wednesday last. Judge Inglis charged the iurv that if a wife leave her hus band of her own free will he is not even liable for her necessaries. But if he drive her out hp is in effect ffivinir her a bill of credit upon the world, "and she binds him by all the ne cessary contracts she makes. The jury return ed a verdict for the defendant the hus band. Cotton Procession. The Natchez Free Trader states that on Thursday the lSth ult, twenty teams of cotton went into that place all in a line from the " Elgin Planta tion (late Col. Archy Dunbar's) each load containing six bales, ornamented with waving canes and evergreens. It was a procession worth more than five thousand dollars. U. S. Gaz. The Amistad Negroes. We omitted to mention yesterday that the Supreme Court of the U. S. have decided in favor of these alleged slaves on the ground that there was no sufficient proof that they were slaves by the laws ofSpain. Judge Story gave the de cision of the Court Judge Baldwin alone dissenting. The decree, it is said, will be shortly published. Charleston JWercury. Colonization. The friends of the Mary land Colonization Society in this citv, at a meeting lately held, have resolved to raise the sum of $10,000 by contribution aud subscrip tion, to aid the funds of the Society.

Judge Mullan phy, of the Circuit Court, sitting at St. Louis, has decided that the deviation of a steamboat, or other vessel, from her regular course, ex cept to save life, vitiated the policy of insur ance, and released the underwriters from lia biltiy. lb. Another Outrage by a British Crui zer. A letter received by the editor of the Salem Observer, states that the brig Chero kee, Capt. Webb, of that port, was'overhaul ed by her Britannic Majesty's brig of war Curfew, and after a full examination of the Cherokee's papers, her hatches were torn open, under pretence of slaves ! Bait.

We lose in Mr Fisher an honest and talented friend to the people's rights, and one who will reflect on the course he has pursued with the proud consciousness of haying done all in his power to secure the ascendancy of correct principles.

New Hampshire Election From the returns that have come in of the election held in that State on Tuesday last, it is pretty ev ident that the entire Democratic ticket for Congress and State officers has been elected by a majority equal to that of the November election. (Sum- Singular Discovery. Six miles north of Manchester, Eng., on the line of the Bos ton railway, five trees have been found in the excavation made at that place, which appear to have been partly converted to coal. They seem also to stand in the places where they grew. The roots are imbedded in a soft ar gillaceous shale, immediately under a thin bed of coal. The bark of the trees is converted to coal, from one quarter to three quarters of an inch thick; the substance which has taken the place of the interior of the trees is shale. The largest of the trees is 15 1-2 feet in circumference at the base, and the height 11 feet. Mammoth Bones on the Kentucky River. Bones of the mammoth, it is stated, have been found in building every lock and dam on the Kentucky river. From the Arkansas Star Feb. 4th. A most .Villainous affair. On yesterday one of the most villainous transactions was brought to light which has ever,' within our knowledge, disgraced our citv. It appears that two individuals, by the name r - i ri 1 V a. a 1 . ot uisnop ana Aieeiy, orougni to iuis piucu u certain amount of ftrrniture and dry goods m co-partnership, for the purpose of specula tion. Of the existence of the co-partnership there was no legal evidence between them, which Heely took advantage of, and for which cause Bishop published him. Bishop held in his possession certain docu ments which Heely was anxious to get pos session of and for this purpose applied to three individuals, (Myers, Minor, aud we be lieve, Halzmau,) and stated to them, that if they would knock Bishop down and take fiom him the documents, they should have therefor the sum of 200? which they agreed to accept; but instead , of proceeding as Heely had directed, told Bishop of what had passed, who gave them copies of the docu ments, which they took to Heely, who, being intoxicated at the time, received the copies, thinking them the originals, and immediately paid down the sum agreed upon. But the villainy of Heely did not stop here. Fearing that Bishop might hereafter stand in his way and put him to some trouble, he made a se cond application to the three individuals, and with a more tempting bribe, to go still deeper into villainy, even to the steeping of their hands in the blood of their fellow man. Hee ly proposed to them that if they would assassi nale, Bishop he would pay for the service $3U0. This also was accepted by them, and, as in the first instance, they informed Bishop pf the proposition, who confined him self to his room for a day or two. In order to secure the pay, and, as it was necessary to show some sign of having done the deed, the trio, on Monday night last, repaired to the room of Heely, bearing with them all the "horrible paraphernalia of the midnight as sassin," such as bloody hands and daggers, clothes spotted with blood, &c. Some doubt seemed to rest on the mind ot Heely as to whether the murder had really been committed, but they were soon removed bv Minor who had rubbed tobacco juice in his eyes in order that he might shed copious tears of repentance, and show great compunc tions of conscience lor the the part he had acted in the horrible affair ; and after the oth ers had made a few oaths that the deed was committed, and that they were willing to take him to the spot where the body was interred. Heely gave into the hands of Myers a check upon one of our banks for $300. In this affair the old adage, "honesty among rogues," was broken. Myers presen ted the check to the bank, upon which pay ment was made, who instead of dividing the money, share and share alike, as was agreed upon, represented to his companions that he had drawn only half the amount, giving to each $50, and soon after, fearing the conse queuces,of his rascality, left the city. The astonishment of Heely can belter be imagined than described, when on going up town on Wednesday morning, among the first persons he met was Bishop -who he thought had been assassinated. Had the ghosts of all those who slumber in their graves sprung up before him, he could not have shown great' er horror than was depicted' on his couute nance. But his horror soon changed to wrath He who was so obnoxious still lived, but' his money was gone. Although a villain, yet, luckily for society, he had not wisdom, and, as fools are always garrulous, forthwith he told of the manner in which he had been du ped. Prosecution has been commenced, in the name of the State, against Heely, for the crime oi conspiracy against the lite ot iSish op ; and also against Bishop Tor gaining mo ney trom lieely fraudulently. We hope the matter may be pushed -to the utmost rigor ot tne laws, and all the parties concerned made to sutler as they deserve. A Genius The Cecil (Md.) Gazette mentions that a black boy in that vicinity ha3 made an entire miniature steamboat, with cabins, berth-deck and upper deck, carved stern and figure head, forward and after cab ins, with windows,-wheel-houses and paddles, steerage house, barber's shop, capstan, cable box, settees, bell, pistons, boilers,' levers, chimnies, and all other appliances complete. lhe machinery is so perfect that it may be put in motion by a child.

We very often observe in the advertisement ot stage proprietors, "all baggage at the risk of the owner!" There have been numerous decisions ot late upon this point, iu different States of the Union, all of which coincide that such a notice avails nothing. Stage proprietorsv(steamboats, &c the same") are common carriers in fact and in contemplation of law, and cannot avail them selves of the advantages of that character with out incurring the responsibilities which attach to it. This has become a settled principle of law. There have been adopted many ingenious modes of evading it, but they.have met with little favor from the cou.ts. Strong safeguards are deemed necessary to protect the millions of lives and property which are dependent constantly upon the vigilance and honesty ot common carriers. Deaths in N. York.

A Washing ton Correspondent of the New ork Com mercial, states that a citizen ot the city ot N. York has submitted to President Harrison a new plan of defence, which meets with much approbation. The plan is to build three tow ers two hundred feet high, upon the top of which shall be placed ten guns that will throw shot of 120 lbs. The towers to be built of heavy timber ; and place in the centre of each a steam boiler to defend it trom the attach, oi men, and also to heat shot- The cost of all these, he estimates, would not exceed three hundred thousand dollars, and the speculation of steam vessels entering New York and de stroying the city, would be at an end, as single shot, well directed trom me tower, would send any shi'p to the bottom. A plan for floating batteries was also submitted, which met with much attention. Summary Punishment. A fellow was cowhided in Broadway, New-York, on Thursday, for insulting a lady. MARRIED.
