tioss of lives in Wells Carbonic Acid. We have . an accouut in the Greensburg (Inda.) Sentiuel, of a deaih which occurred a short time since in Shelby county, by the in halation of carbonic acid gas. The sudden deaths of Messrs. Walters and Kendall, from Ihe same cause, in the well of Mr William Walters, of Fugit township in that comity, some years ago, will be recollected by many of our readers. Such melancholy accidents afford a warning of the danger in entering a cave or well. Carbonic acid, or fixed air, frequently collects, in all such places, iu suffi cient quantity to destroy instantly animal life. It is a fact well known, that a single inflation of the lungs from this gas will produce in stantaneous death; and that the process of combustion cannot take place in it. When a burning candle is lowered into a well, if the (lame is suddenly extinguished without any perceptible cause, it almost infallibly denotes the presence of the deadly gas. Chemists have generally considered the oxigen and nitrogen, as 'the essential ingre dients ot the atmosphere. Several others are, however, always found in it, and if they are not concerned in its more important opera tions, they fill many miudr offices in con tributing to the endless and constant wants of thfjunuaieraUe hInrra Hy'mz ajnt acting upon the earth. Such is carbonic acfcf, or fixed air. This gas, which is nearly twice as heavy as com mon air, is found to exist, at all times, in every region of the atmosphere, from the lowest ravine or cave, to the top of the highest mountain. Except in caves, wells, and some other places, where carbonic acid settles from its great weight, it is never found in the atmosphere except iu small quantities, some say a hundredth part, some a thousandth, but probably variable, existing in larger quanti ies at some times, and iu aorno places, than others-. Although this .substance is fortunately never found in the atmosphere except in small quantities, it frequently takes an important part in promoting the happiness, and produc ing the disasters of mankind. It is supposed to be an important agent in the process of vegetation ; vegetables having th power of extracting it from the air and converting it to their own sustenance and growth. While the whole animal kingdom are constantly in haling or consuming oxigen, and at the same time throwing oil' carbonic acid, the vegetable kingdom, are inhaling or absorbing carbouic acid, and, a pud of the time at least, are throwing off oxigen. So that these two great kingdoms of nature are mutually and con stantly pei forming these kind offices, to pro mote the growth and prosperity of each, while they prevent the destruction of both, uiid of every living existence which animates, cli nches, and dignities this lower creation, for carbonic acid is not only essential to the growth of vegetables, but is certainly and in stantly fatal to animals, one full inhalation of which produces death, unless a supply of oxigen is instantly provided. The moment a person enters an atmosphere of this gas, as has frequently occurred ia well?, and th fer menting vats of breweries, he drops lifeless, and past recovering, except the supply of vital air is immediate. Carbonic acid is no less fatal to combustion than to animal life. If a burning candle or coal be immersed in it, every appearance of combustion is instantly rJestoyed ; but it may be again re-lighted, by letting it into a ves sel filled with pure oxigen. The sparkling appearance and agreeable taste of the be.t cider, beer, wine, and soda water, are produced by this active substauce. By the loss of if, they become dead, as we say, aud are not only unpleasant to the taste, but injurious to health. So that the same sub stance which is distressing and fatal if taken into the lungs, gratifies the taste and pro motes health when received by tho stomach. Uy three classes of operations iu nature aud the arts, carbonic acid is constantly formed, and oxigen destoyed. These are respiration, combustion, and fermentation. It has already been remarked, that the whole animal kiugdom are constantly consuming oxigen ; they are also forming carbonic acid. The same double result is produced inmost instances of combustion, and in every in stance of fermentation, iu all its stages. It seem, then, th.nt the vital principle of the at mosphere is constantly destroyed iu vast quantities, aud that a substance instantly fatal, both to life and combustion, is constantly forming, and yet the atmosphere continues to answer the great purpose for which it was de sigued, and without a sensible change in its character. Partisan malice and meanness. It Xorth Carolina Militia. We publish this morning, a full description of the uniform to be worn by the several graJes of Militia Officers of this State- Every officer that is commissioned, knows that iu receiving the Commission that badge of honor he takes solemn oaths he swears by the Holy Evangelist, to perform certain duties : and if he does not perform those du ties, he is assuredly n perjured man. This is a serious matter ; aud we earnestly call '-he attention of officers to the subject. Their own honor their own conscience the honor of their State, and the safety of their country, all demand from every officer his sworn duty. The great difficulty heretofore, has been, that officers could not get the proper informa 'tion, as to what sort of uuiform they ought to wear; but that difficulty is now obviated. TO EDITORS : We hope that our brethren of the Press, in this State, will take interest enough in this matter to publish in their respective papers, the desciiption which we publish to-day, for from the Regulations of the United States Army, ana respectfully submit them for the inspection and government of the Officers of the 33d Regiment of North Carolina Militia.

From the Albany Argus. Letter of the Hon. J. C. Spencer; The Rochester Daily Advertiser extra of Saturday evening, beings us the letter of the Hon. J. C. Spencer, Secretary of War, ia reply to citizens of Rochester, which rumor had said would be forthcoming. It is seven columns in length, and in the able manner for which the writer is distinguished. It takes ground distinctly and strongly in favor of the course and measures of President Tyler ; and vindicates him upon all the ques tions in relation to which he has been grossly assailed by the whig leaders and presses, the exercise of the veto power, the land bill, the bank, the tariff; &c. &c. It is equally explicit iu taking ground against Mr Clay, the movements of his partisans to coerce his ih-e- iaiWmation of ofier ia theix oeighborpnomination, and the measures, or "princi ples," on which he and his whig friends claim to stand before the country. In short, he es chews a National Bank, Distribution, and the claims of the whigs to the passage of the Tariff law. The letter concludes, emphatically, as fol lows : seems stranga that men who have received an education, even though sufficient only to en able them to write their own language gram matically, should be so lost to self respect as to fall into the habit of using that ot combined malice and meanness, and ribaldry. One would naturally- suppose, for instance, if ig norant of existing and cuireut facts, that, the editor of even a partisan newspaper would manifest some trifle of respect for himself, even though he should entertain none for those to whose opposition he stands pledged as per agreement with his party generally, or his special and particular clique. Were the supposition correct, we would see such editors rising high above" every thing held dishonora ble in principle and disgraceful in practice. ! But, unfortunately for the character of the! country, which suffers both abroad and at home in consequence of it, by far tho largest por tiou of the party press has fallen into the hands of men who, however worthy or amiable they may be considered as members of society in the private sense of the phrasef are, as edi tor, utterly destitute, by their own shewing, of every principle, whether of honor or hones ty, that gives dignity to human nature and renders it respectable. As citizens of this republic, we are bouud to consider them fiee men, even while, as partisans, they prove themselves the veriest of slaves ; and while pa-ssin in the private circle as gentlemen, they aie publicly playing the scouudrel, say ing doin", writing and publishing that which could find no justification, nor even apology, it, tiv unmoved code of morals, or in any received . principles of common decency.

"These views and sentiments are presented to you, gentlemen, in explanation of my posi tion, and in defence against the reproaches which have been cast upon me, for not resign ing the office I bold. I cannot lend myself to the vindictive feelings which they and their associates entertain towards the President: I cannot be a party to the torrent of vituperation which has been poured out upon him. I cannot consent to aid, in any manner, the success of a party which goes before the people, demanding that it may be intrusted with power, for the purpose of incorporating a National Bank. I am not in favor of an alteration of the Constitution, to abolish the Executive power of returning to Congress, for their more mature consideration, bills which may have passed in haste, or inadver tently, or upon mistaken principles. I deny that few and unimportant abuses of a conser vative and suspensive power like this, even if they existed, which in their natures must be temporary, furnish any good reason for abol ishing the power itself, and leaving all legis- Interdicted Marriages.

They fought at ten ir t l .1 i ! paces, ana nrea six rounas, on ine last ot which Knapp received his antagonist's ball iu the face the ball, it i3 said, passed into the mourn and was spit out. l ne wound is thought to be dangerous.

FUOSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX These works have such a wide circulation, arid have been so universally. approved and sought after by the public, that we deem it necessary only in this prospectus to say that they will, be continued at the next session of Conarrs?, and to state, suc- cintly, their contents, the form in which they Will be printed, and the prices for them. The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress. The speeches of the members are abridged, or condens ed, to bring .them into a reasonable or readable length. All the resolutions offered, or motions made; are siven at length, in the mover's own words ; and the yeas and nays oi all the important questions. It is printed with small type brevier and nonpareil on a double-royal sheetj in quarto form, each number containing 16 royal quarto pages. It is printed as fast as the business done in Congress furnishes matter enough for a ml nbrr. T lie first four weeks of a session usually furnishes matter enouffh fbr one number a week; and the balance of the session for two or three numbers wenk: The cohlin? session of Congress will fur nish mattr enough, we suppose, for twenty-five or I 30 irich sheeting, heavy, thirty numbers. The Appendix is made up of the President's an niial message, the reports of the principal officers of the Government that accompany it, and all the long speeches of members of Congt ess, written out or ICTlScU J ("C31 to. It o i'iiuuiii iu. saute form as the Congressional Globej and usually makes about the same number of pajres. There are not so many numbers published the fi-st weeks of a session, as there are numDcrs ot me congressional Globe: because the members are s ow writing out their SDeeehes. cut towards me close oi a session the number3 are published more frequently than the Congressional Globe. Each of these works is complete in itse!t; but it is necessary for every subscriber who desires a full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to have 0 1 ... i ill - hnth. hwancp ihpn ir timre -snouiu oe any arnn'.- guity in the synopsis of the speech, or any denial of its correctness, as published in the Congressional Globe, the reader may turn to the Appendix to see the speech at length, corrected &y tne memoer mm self. Now. thpre is no other source but ihe Congres sional Globe and Appendix, from which a person can ohtnin a full history of the proceedings of Con gress. Gales and Scaton's Register of Debates, which contained a historv, was suspended in the vear 1837. and has not since been resumed. It cost abnnt five times as much for a esaion as the Congressional Globe and Appendix, and did not contain an equal amount ol matter, a grat portion of the rnrrent nroceedmes beinff omitted. x he speeches of both parties are published in the Daily Globe, and in the Uongres6ionai ijiodc ana ip-nendiT- other naners publish their own side only. We are enabled to print the Congressional Globe and Appendix at the low rate new proposed, by hav ing a large quantity of type, and keeping the Con gressional matter that we set up for the Daily and 1 80 28 15 a - a a a a a t a a d a a d a a a a a i a a a a a a a a a a a a a a m 35 7 2tf 15 10 m . 12 n 20 60 4 1 20 51 n 30 5 14 8 7 2G 30 85 21 00 00 00 I2J 60 10 14 13 9. 2J 90 30 4-4 Sheeting, Fayettevilie manufacture, 7 cts. yd. 34 do do do 51 7 AVILMINtJTOIf.
