OPJHUB. KQIEaPIHl .'aJAffllIJILlKlIl NORTH-CAROLWfMN. MEXICO. Rumors of war with Mexico, ccm at present to afford something for the newspaper press to go upon, io these dry times It ia aaid. and confirmed from heud- quarters, that the squadron which bad been ordered to the Mediterianean, was ordered to the coast of Mexico." This is only a matter of precaution, tending to the protection of American Commerce, not zo much from the naval power of Mexico, as from her piratical privateers. For our Government knows the character of Mexico well enough to know that she wquld connive at tho conduct of her citi zens in making reprisals upou American Commerce. The Mew On leans Picayune says that the war aspect in Mexico looks more serious tbun was at first supposed, but re marks that "the absurdity of such an issue does not appear to have struck the Mexican CtMigrcdS or people. We have no idea ibat Mexico will attempt to prostcnte a war with the United Slates, un Icst she has the most fair assurance of Great Britniu that she will etaud by her side, with her menu 4. aud peibup her forces. This as surance tieat Biitain will hardly give open ly, aud Mexico will htitdty put faith in it in .ny olher way. perceive thjt the New York Ex- pte i uuable to give any authority for the report circulated iu thit paper about Gold. McKay's expressions iu relation to public de faulters. Tho Kxpress ha a convenient way of falling back upon ' one of our exchanges " when called upou to produce authority, for any falsehood he has circulated. It was not intended to charge Mr Brook, one of the editor, and tho Washington correspondent of the Express, with beiu the author, after he disavowed it; but he was called upon as the author. Mr McKay did express himself iu trnj! term respecting defaulters; would not any honest man do the same ? But these whig pimps about Washington, with charac teristic ingenuity, shaped tho expressions t suit themselves. jWBMX:$ ACCEPTANCK.

Unambitious of poliiical prooiotioii, I have been quietly en iged in the praclic of my profession. The limited part I have hiiheno boriie ou the stage of politics was prompted solely by a disinter ested desire to promote, eelnin principles, a I hoped, for the benefit of our country, and n l mv own prroUal advent eineiit. Having tally t-ntei tained u decided opinion that the muasuics advocated by the Democratic party, wore best calculated to secure our country's loperity sincerely apprehensive of the tl; libelous tendency of the prominent mea Mires of the "whig party," 1 have ever, with bank ness aud zeal contributed my nid to fo-l.-r ibn piinciples of the one party, nod dis rouiMge those of the olher. Aware of the pe ruliai ciicumsta uces which ocensioued my se lection by the Convention, aud of the incon venience, rind perhaps discord aud division that uiih.i esii, were I now to decline, I deem it my duty to accept the nomination.

Private Hobbs, four inches and three-sixteenths. Sergt. O. Williamson, six inches and five- sixiceutbs. THE PUBLIC OFFICES. We have heretofore adverted to the fact that the President was emphatically a working-, man, devotihg the larger portion of his lima to the -t an sac t ion of the public business. ot i himself alone, however, are business habits to be confined, but the are to be in fused into the subordinate office of the sever- I al Depaitmeuts of the Government ; that the Administration may be characterised by- in dustry nod efficiency. ' Iu 1836, an act was passed to reorganize fjJ- It will be recollected that a few weeks ago we mentioned thnt the Annexation reso lutions of Milton Brown, a Tennessee whig, aud which were passed iu Congress, were got up for the very purpose of finally defeating the measure, by au avowed profession of uniting the two patties on the question, but with Me et et design f so framing them that thfy would not be acceptable to any one. Mr Foster of Tennessee now coulinns the statement, ns w ill be seen by tbe following from the Nahvillo Union : We are informed by gentlemen of intelli gence aud unquestionable veracity, that iu the pie,'" permit me at leat to pledge myself to be always fuud endeavoring to "uphold the one" and " to maintain tho other.'' And should tits people of lhi District honor me with au election, their approbation will be sought for only by pursuing the course of the Ilrpit'sentutivc who acts fiorn au honest de- ire to promote the welfare of hi constituents, and who, iu casting his vo'es, thinks of tho consequences to hi country first- to him self l.-tst.

Geueral Jackson was informed of this fact, aud of the intention of the Institute to apply it iu that w ay, and he immediately replied to the letter, expressing bis grateful thauks for the intended honor, but fiimly refusing to accept of it. He says : ' I cannot consent that rny moitdl remains shall be laid in a repository prepared for an emperor or a king. My icpiibljcan feeling and principles forbid it.

In looking over a condensed statement of the affairs of other States, we see in soma of them that militia fines are set down as a source of revenue ; and iu Virginia, it is no inconsiderable source, being set down at $13,425 30! In the way tho militia laws are at present, and have bean, executed, how long would it take to raise that sum for this State is a question we will leave the officers to solve. CANNIBALISM Iu the work recently published, giviug an account of the Explor. iug Expedition under Capt. Wilkes, the fil ing paragraph appears in relation to cannibal, ism in the Feegee Islands : "Tho eating of human flesh is not confin ed to caea of sacrifice for religious purposes, but is practised from habit and taste. The existence of canui'o ilism, independent of su perstitious notions, has been doubted by rnauy. There can be no question that, although it may have originated as a sacred right, it is continued in the Feejee group for the mere pleasure of eating human flesh a food. Their fondness for it will bo understood from tho custom they hare of cending portions of it to thwir friends at a distance, as au acceptable preeut ; and tht gift is eaten, even if decom position have begun before it is received. So highly do they esteem this food, that the great est praise they can bestow on a delicacy is to say that it is as tender as a dead man. Even their aoirices are made mote frequent, not merely to gratify feelings of revenge, but to indulge their taste for this honid food. Iu respect to this propensity, they aflect no dis guise. I have mvseff frequently spoken with, thern concerning it, aud have received but one answer, both from chiefs aud common people, that it was vauika, (good.) The bodies of enemies slain in battle, are always eaten. ..The cannibal propensity is not limit ed to enemies or persons of a different tribe, but they will banquet ou the flesh of their dearest friends; and it is even related thit in times of scarcity, families will make an ex change of rhildreu for this horrid purpose. The flesh of woman is preferred to that of men ; aud they consider the flesh of the arm above the elbow, and of the thigh, as tba choicest parts. The women a e not allowed to eat it openly: but it is said that the wives of chiefs do partake of it in private. DicksoiTs "Practice. This is a new Charleston publication, issued by the Messrs.

The Pittsburgh Gazette says that five persons ' are to have perished in th late fire in that city, Samuel Kiugston, Ksq., and a woman employed as a seivaut in the family, perished iu his house on Second street. A poor worniu, of German extraction, perished on Third-street. A mar ried woman, the mother, of two children, nam ed McGowley, perihed on Third-street, and a Mr Johnson is supposed to have been lost in Wood-street, having last been seen in a burning building. Besides these, il is feared olbera were burned, but the great of the flames will reuder all hope ot discovering their re main uearly futile. The committee appointed by the City Counsel for that purpose, altei a full examina tion of tbe burned district, report that 932 buildings were destroyed, of which tho value is eMtmated at $1, 566,500; and thai personal properly to the amount of $1,913,450 was burned, making the aggregate hiss $3,479,950 The Chrouicte warns the citizens to be on their guard, as several attempts have been made siuce Thursday to fire the city. Some idea of tho violence of the wiud dur ing the time the fire was raging on Thursday may be formed from the fact that burned pa pers were picked up iu Greensburgh, 32 miles Eot of Pittsburgh, and hiug!e twenty miles distant. fantastic toe some muscular exertion was ' made by which the aru; was wrenched. Two j or three witnesses were called to prove, and i did prove that tho defendant was iu such a positiou that he could not strike tho plaintiff being at the time the arm was discovered to be broken leu or twelve paces from him. Tho Doctor's witness, however, proved posi tively that he saw the defendaut strike- the blow. There was no pretence of ill-will be tween the parties.
