NORTH CAKOLMAN. Win. II. Bay lie, Keillor and Propr'or' FAYETTE VItLE 8ATTTRDAY, OCTOBER 23, 18 7. CO- Both of our apprentices being sick, it was only through the kindness of two of our friends in the craft that we are enabled to publish at all this week. THE. WAR. At last we have full accounts from Gen. Scott, and hasten to lay them before our reader?. The New Orleans Delta of this morning brings us more full details, which we will pive next -sreek. By thew we learn that ien. Seott has levied a contribu tion of $150,000 on the city of Mexico $20,000 to be appro priated for necessaries for the pick and wounded $90.000 for foe. blankets. &c. for the soldiers. Good. The orderly and prudent conduct of the whole army is highly spoken of. Kendall, of the Picayune, says the Delta's correspondent, was wounded in -his horse-s ear!:' Mustang says himself was wounded in the "saddle skirt!" The Delta pives full lists of killed, wounded and missing, officers and privates. r OKIKdN .KWS. The stoamcr Cambria r.rinzs news I from Kngland and the continent, with dates to the 4th of .

Larue failures of mercan tile houses still occurring, which no doubt creates the fall of produce. fJ3-We must return our thanks to the gentleman from whom we received ten new subscribers. We could wish we had more such friends. RAILROAD SURVEY. Mr Childs, the Engi neer recommended to survey the " Metropolitan route," from Raleigh to Camden, arrived at Fay etteville, on Saturday last. He has the reputa tion of being one of the most faithful and trust worthy surveyors in the country : and one whose reports and estimates are said to be confidently relied upon by capitalists, and particularly by those who recommended him to the Commission ers. That is what we want: a good survey, and a surveyor in whom the public have confidence. That was the object of the commissioners in pro curing the services of a gentleman extensively ;oid favorably known for the ability and accuracy of his surveys, and the frankness of his reports. Although it has somewhat delayed the survey, the commissioners have exhibited much sagacity in procuring Mr Childs, instead of employing a few inexperienced young men. On Mond.iy morning Mr Childs started to Che raw, accompanied by D. G. ?.IcI..'e, Esq., and Capt. A. A.MeKethan, to reconnoitre, asthe sol diers say. From ( heraw, we presume, some gen tlemen will accompany him to Camden. The War Department, says th Washington Union, has determined to raise two new regiments forthwith, one from Tennessee, five companies of which are already organized, and one from Mich igan. We presume no others will be ordered until- the President hears officially from General Scott AN EXHIBITION of the progress ofthein- inatet! of the deaf and dumb Asylum, at Raleigh, will take place at l'avettev ille, we learn, during the Session of thn Presbvterian Svnod. It will be verv interesting. NEW PAPER. We take pleasure in publish inir the Prospectus of the editor of the Tarboro' Press, Mr Howard, for publishing a new paper in Washington, "North Carolina. He a democrat of long standing; and none, we think, are more worthy of the confidence of the public, both as a man and an editor, so far as we have seen and heard of him. Chancellor Hooper of South Carolina, is dead. ELECTIONS. PENNSYLVANIA. The election took place last week. The democracy have triumphed far beyond even their own expectations. The whigs says the Pennsylvania!!, tendered the issues of the Mexican war, and the Tariff of IS 10," and the democrats accepted them. The result shows that the people will not countenance treason, or heavy taxes on what they consume. Governor Shunk's majority will be not much short of 20,000. The exact state of the legislature not yet ascertained, but the Senate will be whig by a small majority, only a part of it being elect ed this time, but the lower house is l.irgely dem ocratic. GEORGIA. The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday says: The mail of yesterday removed . all doubt as to the complection of the Le gislature, and we announce to our readers that the Whigs have carried both branches The Senate by 3, certain, perhaps 5 ma jority, and the House by 2 majority cer tain. Towns majority for Governor will be 1200 or 1501). Charleston Eve. Xeivs. The democrats have lost the legislature by div isions. Counties which gave democratic major ities for governor, elected whig members to the legislature. Shameful conduct ! It loses us two democratic senators who are to be elected. OHIO. -The election was only for members of the legislature. The Union thinks the state of parties will not vary much from what it was at the last election whig majorities. MARYLAND. The official democratic majority for go TCTDor. is 608. An election for a City Council was held at Baltimore on Wednesday. The Demo crats polled 7,094 votes, and elected 15 members; the Whigs polled 5,:36 votes, and elected 5 members. The people of Yorkville, S. C, are trying to get up a railroad in opposition to the Ch.irlotte and Columbia road, the stockholders of this latter having determined to run it in a straight line, in stead of by Yorkville. Go it ! OBITUARIES. We lind it necessary to say that all obituary notices, beyond a simple an nouncement of the decease of a person, will be hereafter rejected unless the parties are subscrib ers to the paper, or have other claims to such public notice. Long eulogies on children cannot be entertained. The recent elections in Pennsylvania show what we said very recently, to be correct, that as sure as the tories, alias whigs, make the Mexican war an issue with, or ground of opposition to the democratic party and the administration, so sure will they be signally rebuked and disgraced. AN OLD PRESS. The editor of the Hills borough Recorder says that that paper has been printed for the last ten years upon the very press which Admiral Cockburn attempted to destroy in 1812, in the National Intelligencer office, in Washington city. A powder magazine was blown up by lightning at Nashville, Tenn. on the 12th, destroying one hundred houses and many lives. TONE OF THE WHIG PRESS. It is really cheering, and we are proud, to note the tone of a portion of the whig press, since Mexico has been-so foolishly infatuated as to re ject the otters of peace made by the United States. We last week gave an extract from a strong whig paper, the Asheville Messenger ; and we now publish the following patriotic sentiments from the Newbernian, another decided whig paper. It is the true policy, as the whigs must see. for us all to unite and give the Mexicans a finishing stroke, and then, let us contend among ourselves who is worthy and who not, to place in power in our own country: "There is no alternative left but to "n-0 ahead." Let there be no backing out. Let the war now be prosecuted with vigor; let there be no more pennywise and pound foolish measures ; let a force adequate to subdue Mexico, if need be, at once be rais ed. Call forth old Rough and Ready from his inactivity at Monterey, and let him and his gallant compeer Scott, have the means at once to strike the terrible blow, if any blow can do it, that will humble the vnn Afari-ins ciiMuk 4 1. nnR K ....... ,. . . ... . . ...

A letter from Major Bragg to the Hamburg Journal, dated at the camp near Monterey, Aug. 20, confirms the report of the attempt to assas sinate him. He has no clue to the perpetrator, and says he was not aware that he had an enemy in the world. " The negro Austin, who murdered his master in Edgecombe, last summer, is to be hung on the 5th of November. Lieuts. Pender and Singletary, and Lt. Norment of Capt.

The Government pa- . . -v r 1 1 . 1 per in tiie city oi iviexico, in an aauress 10 me Mexicans, mentions the execution of Riley and his companions. We shall not learn whether the account is true or not, until we hear from Gen. Scott. The Diario savs that the "foreign battalion" or companv, under Capt . Riley, was composed of unfortunate Europeans, who pro fessed the Roman Catholic religion, and had be come convinced of the injustice of this war. I says the American Generals were determined to shoot these men; but after receiving the Mexican memori l begging for them, " will you believe it countrymen ?"' says the Diario, "this day, in cold blood, these caribs savages from an impulse of superstition, hung up these men as a holocaust to the manes of the generals who there fell. Noosing them by the neck, as they stood ujon the ground, and so "suspending them that they died by inches, their horrible agony lasting more than one hour! A spectacle worthy of such men, or rather demons escaped from hell ! This they did with is of these men, and among thm the brave Capt. Riley, whose head they stuck upon a pike at Churubusco. To others, who proved that thev had not volunteered,--ut had been impressed into the American service by Americans they gave 20D lashes each, ami compelled them to dig the graves ot their companions." There is a specimen of Mexican romance and ignorance '. These Mexican-scoundrels have for gotten the Texan prisoners that Santa Anna and his Generals had shot, hung, and incarcerated in loathsome dungeons ! during the war with Texas. But let usgive one more specimen of this rav ing. The same paper continues : "Mexicans: These are. the men who call us barbarians, and say they come to civil ize us these are the men who have plun dered the houses of the surrounding vil lages; who have stolen children from their families; who have slept in the niches de voted to the sacred dead; who have, with blasphemous revelry, clothed themselves in the ornaments of the altars; who have thrown upon the ground the bojy of Jesus Christ, and have made themselves drunk in drinking out of the sacred vessels. Ac cursed may they .be of all Christians, as they are. of God." The Wilmington Chronicle says that Capt. W. J. Price, informed him that with four or five weeks activ e exertions, he has been unable to get even one recruit. Capt. Williamson, aiso can raise but one man, from the western part of the State. Capt Cameron is said to have 20 men towards raising his company. This backwardness of the North Carolinians is certainly not to be wondered at, considering the late occurrences in the North Carolina regiment. Messrs Edward Sill and John Stubbs have pub lished a new paper in Columbia, S. C, called the Daily Telegraph, published on the cash principle. Novel Oi-estiox. In Philadelphia suits were brought bv Mr Walton and Mr George Dodd, before Alderman Bulkley, against the firm of H. &. A. Cope &. Co. for S80 each, the amount of money advanc ed for passage from Philadelphia to Liver pool, in the packet ship Thomas P. Cope, on the last voyage of that vessel, when she was destroyed at sea by lightning. The following opinion and judgment were de livered by the Alderman : 'There is no denial of the facts in the above cases. The receipts produced show the payment of the sums claimed and generally the history of the cases in detail is agreed upon by both plantiffs and defend ants. On the part of the defendants, it is alleged that they were unable to fulfil the contract on their part, by the act of God that the said ship, while on the ocean, on the way to Liverpool, was struck by lightning, and consumed, with her cargo the crew and passengers barely escaping with life ; that the plaintiffs were subject to said accident, in common with all in terested in the said ship and cargo, and, therefore, bound to endure their share of the casualty, I regard the case in the light of contracts, entered into for a specific purpose, and which have not been perform ed on the part of the defendants. It is the rule of law, that freight must be earned before it can be demanded. Passage money is freight as well as merchandise. Freight is that which a vessel earns, lu TPlOfl NORTH CAJftOMWIAN the case before us, the freight or passage money was not earned, and therefore, the money paid and advanced for such freight or passage was thus paid without any equivalent, and before such freight or pas sage money was earned ; it is so much money held in the hands of the defendants for the use of the plaintiffs. Such being the case, it is the same as if no money had been advanced. Had no money been ad vanced by the plaintiffs whatever, but the arrangement were, to be paid on the com pletion of the voyage or earning of the passage money, the defendants, in an ac tion at law to recover the same, could not be entitled to in the present cases ; be cause it had not accrued or become due. The most the defendants could claim would be pro rata itineris for which no claim is made here, but passed by or avoided by the plea to the whole de mand the act of God. The history of this en terprise is a painful one the result dis astrous and onerous to all engaged in it ; but upon mature deliberation of the facts and the law, I am of the opinion that the plaintiffs should be refunded their passage money. Therefore, judgment is given in favor of the plaintiffs for the sum of eighty dollars each, with costs of suit." SKETCHES OF NORTH CAROLINA. Correspondence of the Courier. Greenville, S. C.) Oct. 6, 1847. I proceed -to complete what I had to say about Buncombe county, which, with its associate Districts, West of the Blue Ridge, has been long know n and sought by travel lers as the Switzerland of America. iTuncombe county originally included the whole Indian, or Cherokee country, in North-Carolina, West of the Blue Ridge, but its dimensions have, of late years, been much narrowed, the counties of Haywood, Macon and Cherokee on the West, Yancey on the North East, and Henderson on the South, having been severed from it. Hen derson, so named after Leonard Henderson, a distinguished Judge of the Supreme Court of North-Carolina, was the last slice cut from Buncombe, and it was very nearly half a loaf. Buncombe proper is now bounded South by Henderson, the line running across from West to East,' at the junction of Cane Creek with the French Broad, East by the Blue Ridge-separating it from Burke, North East by Yancey, North ret by the Unaka Mountains and the Bald Mountains, separating it from Tennessee, and West by Pisgah and other Mountains, separating it from Haywood. Yancey, Buncombe and Henderson torm an irregular area, completely hemmed in by lofty mountains. "The French Broad is the great river of Buncombe, and a very remarkable curios ity. It rises on the northern side of the Blue Bidge, and for the greater, or at least a considerable part of its course runs, with rapid current, over a rocky bed, between lofty and precipitous mountains on either j hand, through whiclf it has forced or worn a passage, forming numerous beautitul cas cades on its way. It enters Tennessee directly through the Unaka Mountains, anil falls into the Holston, a tributary of the Tennessee River. Directly along its margin, and on its right or North Eastern bank, runs an excellent turn-pike road, overhung by precipitous rocks, and some times built in the river. In this road the State of North-Carolina has an interest, and Capt. Wm. Garrett, of Edgefield District, South-Carolina, and Wm. Davis, of Georgia, are large stockholders and it is said to pay a divided of 10 per cent annually. Beyond the Warm Springs and near the. Tennessee line, are passed two remarkable curiosities. The Paint Rock, and the Chimneys. The Paint Rock is a rocky precipice of considerable height, on the face of which, fronting the river, are certain mysterious hieroglyphics or marks, whether artificial or natural, whether Indian or civilized, no one can say, from which the rock takes its name. The Chimneys are rocks, or moun tains, of immense altitude, rising perdicu larly from the river, which washes their very base, or would do so but for the road constructed in the water. The scenery here possesses a grandeur and sublimity, rarely surpassed, making lordly man feel his littleness and insignificance, while lost in admiration of the magnificence of nature. Along the road here referred to pass those immense droves of horses, mules, cattle and hogs, from Tennessee and Kentucky, which supply and victual the South 'and South West." Horses and mules, and es pecially the latter, have come, this year, in greater numbers, than for several years and are uncommonly fine. While pass ing through the mountains, from 100 to ' S150 was asked tor mules, out l met two drovers, returning: from Augusta, who told me that they had sold at prices ranging from S85 to S100. Hogs, it is said, will be late, this season, and the price quite uncertain. The French Broad receives in its course the following streams, besides others of lesser note, viz, : CatheyV Creek, Little River, Davidson's River, Mills River, Mud Creek, Cane Creek, Avery's Creek, Bent Creek, Homony Creek, the Swanna noa, Dick's Creek, Rims' Creek, Sandy Mush Creek, Ivy River, Laurel Creek, (at Fansworth's, a beautiful and favorite locality,) Spring Creek, at the Warm Springs, and Big Pigeon River and the Nolichucky, in Tennessee. The French Broad, on Pigeon, the Tuckaseegee, and the Chatuga, (the last a tributary of the Savannah, or rather of the Tugaloo River,) all head in a corner of the Blude Ridge, known as The Devil's Court House ; whether Rhadamanthur presides, or any lawyers practice there, I know not. When I visited Buncombe, 9 or 10 years ago, the Indian name of the French Broad was believed to be Saliko ; but Judge King, of our city, has found an old map, on which it is designa ted as ' The Agiaua. Judge K. has established that the Indian name ot Mud Creek is The Ocklewhaha. Situate 011 the left bank of the French Broad, a few- miles from the Tennessee line, are The Warm Springs, a beautiful and ro , i ,. . - i in mantic locality, with a very fine, spacious er and commodious Hotel, kept by Mr John K. ration, a Courteous and worthy host, i i lor,,, l i .mi - 7 i r....

The scenery is enriched with all the charms of river, valley and mounta:n and the annual gathering of both the invalid and the fashionable throng, in search of health or pleasuro, is very large. Just in front of the Sprino-s, on the opposite side of the 8 Tr - . : i-nei, uses uujies mountain, a luiry cuii- nence, traversed by an excellent turnpike road, and covered with fertility to the very I summit Irom winch is enioved a most commanding and extensive view of varied grandeur, sublimity aud beauty, while, not far from its base Foutter's Cave invites the exploration of the inquisitive and adventurous. I re gretted much that my limited time did not permit me to revisit this attractive olace and beautiful vicinitv. Buncombe and Henderson are said to contain no Indian relics or traces. It was never settled or inhabited by the Indians, but onjy used by them as a hunting ground. Their settlements commenced beyond the Tuckaseegee, the old Western boundary of Buncombe. The peasantry, or white laboring class, of Buncombe and Henderson, are said to be a hardy, but slothful or idle and unthrifty people. Nothing Wut the pressure of some necessity approaching starvation, or the sheriff Officer, will compel them to labor. The following illustrative anecdote is said to be a fact A peasant and his family, some years since, were reduced to such extremi ty, that they came to the public house, at lat Kock, to beg (a thing very rare, and atjwhichjthe pride of the mountaineer usual ly revolts) for sustenance. The proprie tors relieved the family and, being in want of an ostler, proposed to the peasant to accept the birth He did so.?and filled the station satisfactorily for some time. At length, however, having become sleek and well conditioned, and labor bein irk some, he gave notice of quitting. The landlords enquired the reason, and the re ply was "blackberries are ripe, and I wrill work for no man, when I can get food in the fields and woods for nothing " This must be an exaggeration Ed. When the Sheriff' is in pursuit of them for debt, they will do a job of work to keep out of jail, but will soon relax into their old hab its. They live in ill-constructed log-cabins, neither air-tight nor water-tight, with no partition between hall and chamber; the -whole family often tumbling into one bed : and in their snowy and icy winters, sit shivering over miserable embers, soon er than take the trouble to procure an ade quate supply of firewood from the adjacent forest. Scant fare, scant clothing' and scant housing, with little or no work, seem to constitute the climax of their felicity. . Of the 28th of Sept., 1 left Ashville, and bade farewell to Buncombe. The wea ther was still fine and the road excellent. Between Ashville and Ilendcrsonville are several beautiful situations, and pleasant sojourning places, on the road, such as Lane's and Britton's. The garden in front of Lane's, is enriched with almost the finest profusion of china aster's I ever met with, and the prettiest dahlias. A. Col.
