CUMBEKLAXU
ACADEMY.
The Trustees of Academy hereby gi re notice, that the
Institution under their care will be re-opened for the re
ception of Scholars on Wednesday the 3d day of January
next. Rer"d Simeon Coltoti. D. I)., will takt charge of the
School as Principal, who will be provided with competent
assistance.
Cumberland Academy is situated in the Northern part
of Cumberland county, on the road leading from Fayei te
vilb to Haleigh by Atkius'i Kerry and about midway
from either pUce. The location i.t distinguished for health,
surrounded by a good neighborhood, and is removed from
the temptations often prevailing in large towns to the de
triment of a School. The Trustees are in the process of
erecting buildings, which they intend !hall be competent
to all the purposes of the kind of institution contemplated.
It will alio be furnished with s:;ch helps in the instruction
as the character of the School may require. A new aud
commodious house for boarding is nearly completed,
which, together with the buildings now ready, will furnish
ample accommodations for such as may be disposed to at
tend the School. The boarding establishment will be un
dr the direction of ,lr Hugh .1 McLean, who with his mo
ther, long acquainted with such business, will do every
thing that can be reasonably expected to make the cndi
tion of their boarders comfortable.
The price of board, including washing and lodging, is
six dollars- per month. Students lodging in Academy
buildings, will be charged for the use of rooms and furni
ture, one dollar and twenty live cents per Quarter, or five
dollars per annum. Other Students will be eharged twenty-live
cents per quarter, or onu dollar per " year, for con
tingencies. Sucu as are attending to the languages, anil oUier higher
brancbtts. will be charged eight dollars per quarter, or thirty-two
per annum.
Such as attend to the different branches of English stu
dies, the charge will be six dollars per quarter, or twenty
four dollars per annum.
Kor the Elementary branches in English, four dollars
per quarter.
Tuition and Board to be paid in advance, and no deduc
tion made for absence, except in cases of protracted sick
ness. The design of the Trustees in establishing this School
is to provide a place where youth may be prepared for
College, orfittei fo. business, under a good moral influence,
where there may be few temptations, and where they shall
not be exposed to the evils often found to prevail in large
aud business places. The location, it is believed, will be
peculiarly favorable for such as may wish to prepar. for
College; for such as wish to -study, in order to qualify
themselves for business : and where parents may place
their sons under a supervision, and in circumstances such
may inspire a confidence that they will be trained to
good moral habits, while the expenses are so low as to ena
ble those of limited means to give their children a good
education The trustees havingconfideiice in the teachers
employed. and in the arrangment made for boarding, be
lieve t hey may recommend the School to the patronage of
the public, and trust that under a careful supervision, the
Institution will become such as will meet the expectation
of patrons, aud gain a high place in public favor. They
wish it to be understood, that tho strictest attention will
b paid to the moral culture of the pupils, and. in connec
tion with t is. tho li'tble will be made a part of the course
of st a -.lies, and as far a practicable, a religious aspect will
be given to the exercises of the School, while every thing
inconsistent with a rigid moral character will be discoun
tenanced. HKXRY ELLIOT, Pres't.

INAUGURATION DAY (the 5th) was cele
brated by the whigs of our town by firing can
non at 12 o'clock, just about the time "Old Zach"
was supposed to be thundering out his Inaugural
at the capitol.
At night they illuminated the town Hall, and
burned a number of rosin barrels at prominent
points. At the town Hall, there was a small show
of fireworks and martial music. All of which
was preceded by a round of cannon.
Gen. Taylor's Cabinet.
The new Cabinet of President Taylor is as fol
lows: John M. Clayton, of Del., Secretary of State.
Wm. M. Meredith, of Penn., for the Treasury.
Wm. H. Crawford, of Ga., for War Department.
Abbott Lawrence, of Mass., for the Navy.
Thos. Ewing, of Ohio, Postmaster General.
W. P. Preston, of Va., Attorney General.
All of these gentlemen are whigs, as a matter
of cotrse. Only Mr Clayton and Mr Preston were
me mbers of the late Congress. Mr Meredith is
a " Philadelphia lawyer," we understand. Mr
Crawford is ex-governor of Georgia, ex-member
of Congress, &.c. .Mr Lawrence is the wealthy
manufacturer of Mass., of whom it has been re
ported, that he expended a large amount of mon
ey to prevent Mr Clay's nomination. Mr Ewing
is an ex-member of Congress, and was a member
of General Harrison's cabinet.
OCJ-A very unpleasant feeling appears to exist
between Gen. Shields and Hon. Sydney Breese,
on account of the election of Senator from Illinois
Gen. Shields having been elected at the expir
ation of Mr Breesi's term, some one told the
General that Mr Breese had propagated a report
that General Shields was not eligible to the
Senate, for he had not been naturalized. Gen. S.
in a public note, charged Mr Breese with this,
and also with writing an article in the St Louis
Republican to the same effect. Both of these
imputations Mr Breese denies, but says that he
did state a fact in conversation, which the records
of the Effingham circuit Court will establish.
What that fact is he does not say.
Gen. Shields states that had he been defeated
by Mr Breese upon the grounds abovementioned,
Mr B. should never have enjoyed his success; in
other words, he would have killed him. From
this, we should judge that the charge of ineligi
bility amounted to something more than not be
ing naturalized.
We hope it will end with no bad consequepces.
lay, aud rooms are renting for two, three
and four dollars.
Several military companies from Boston,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, are to be
here on the 5th hope it will be a pleasant
day. We have had very severe cold
snowy weather for some time.
Some hopes are entertained that the
California bill will yet pass unclogged with
the Wilmot proviso the whigs not being
willing for Gen. Taylor to show his hand
by signing or vetoing it next session.
Should Congress not pass it, and merely
extend the revenue laws over the country,
we shall have a second edition of a certain
document beginning with, "When in the
course of human events it becomes neces
sary for a people," &c.
Our communication this week must be
brief, having mislaid our notes with Post
Office statistics which we had intended to

teresting to your readers generally.

meats. The report was ordered to be
printed.
A number of private bills were under
consideration. Then the general appro
priation bill was again taken up. An
amendment was passed appropriating mo
ney to purchase the papers, 01 manuscripts,
of Presidents Washington and Monroe.
Mr Oix then spoke an hour or two on
the subject ofa government for California,
or Mr Walker's amendment to the general
appropriation bill. A number of. otherg.
spoke on the bill, when it was finally pas
sed and sent to the House.
In the House, the Senate bill for the re
organization of the Pay Department of the
army was passed. The bill providing a
territorial government for Minesota was
also passed. The bill curtailing the frank
ing privilege was ICT'Iaid upon the table
as might have been expected.
A debate occurred upon a bill to carry
into effect that part of the treaty with
Mexico which provides for running the
boundary line, which bill was passed.
Correspondence of the Carolinian.
Washington City, Feb. 27..
Mr Editor: The uproar and confusion
which had prevailed for several days pre
vious, attained its climax last Friday night,
on the arrival of the President elect. The
G eneral was received by an immense con
course of people, who had assembled at the
railroad office, and was escorted to his
lodgings by the multitude, amid their deaf
ening shouts, the booming of cannon, ring
ing of bills, bonfires, &.c. On his arrival
at the hotel, he, being loudly called for,
came on the balcony and made a few re
marks, thanking the people for their en
thusiastic reception. On Saturday, num
bers of the distinguished persons now in
the city called on the General. Yesterday
Gen. Taylor called on Mr Polk at the
White House to-day he goes to George
town to receive the congratulations of the
people of that place. The delegation of
Indians went this morning to see the hero,
accompanied by their interpreter and two
parsons. The General is said to be in very
feeble health. On the occasion of the
Congress committee notifying him of his
election, he said he would be ready at 12
o'clock on the 5th to take the oath ; we
shall consequently be without a President
or Vice President one day.
Vii e President Fillmore arrived on Sa
turday. From what we can learn to-day,
Mr Clayton of Delaware, will be Secretary
of State, Mr Letcher of Kentucky, Post
master General, Mr Pinney of Pennsylva
nia, Sec'y of the Treasury, and Mr Craw
ford of Ga., Sec'y of War. It is generally
conceded that there w ill be one democrat
in the Cabinet.
The French Minister gave a very large
party on Saturday night, it being the anni
versary of the French revolution.
Our streets are really crowded with
strangers from all parts of the country.
The new Senators whose terms commence
on the 5th, are gathering, to be at the usual
extra session of the Senate for the confir
mation of the new cabinet officers.
It is fortunate that tjie. inauguration on
ly takes place once in four years. We un
derstand the hotels are charging 84 per
February 2G.
In the Senate, a bill to aid the State of
Louisiana in draining her swamp lands,
was passed. Also a bill in relation to pay
masters. But the provisions of the bill
are not given.
The Senate then took up the general ap
propriation bill, and the amendments of
Messrs Dayton and Walker. After con
siderable debate, the question was taken
on Mr Dayton's amendment it was re
jected, only 8 voting for it.
The question was then taken on Mr
Walker's amendment, which proposes, in
stead of bringing the territories of New
Mexico aud California into the Union as
States, to extend the laws of the IT. States
over them. This amendment was agreed
to, 29 yeas, 27 tiays. It was not a party
vote. Mr Mangum voted for the amend-
j merit, Mr Badger against it on opposite
sides again!
So that this measure which could not
be matured, it appears, as a separate act,
has been tacked on to an appropriation bill,
in order, it is supposed, that the House
will have to agree to it rather than reject
the appropriation bill. For, if the House,
strike out the amendment, the Senate will
insist uu it, make it a sine qua non to the
passage of the bill.
In the House, the day was occupied in
discussing the slavery question, the bill to
establish a government in California and
New Mexico being before. the House. No
decision was obtained.
February 27.
In the Senate, after some unimportant
business, the general appropriation bill was
again taken up, and amendments discussed
until adjournment.
In the House, the bill to organize a ter
ritorial government over California was
the most important topic under discussion.
Mr Sawyer of Ohio, a democrat, moved to
strike out the Wilmot proviso, which was
not agreed to, yeas 89 navs 101. Mr
Meade of Virginia, moved to lay the bill
upon the table ayes 86 noes 127. The
bill was then passed, Wilmot proviso and
all, yeas 126 nays 87. It was sent to
the Senate, and there it will sleep a long
time, we expect.
The House then took up the bill to or
ganize a territorial government for New
Mexico, which was debated until adjourn
ment, and which was just so much time
wasted.
February 28.
In the Senate, the Committee to whom
was referred the subject of Mr Page's in
vention concerning the application of the
magnetic fluid to the propulsion of ma
chinery, reported that in pursuance of
their duty, they had attended the lectures
of Mr Page, and are satisfied that the gov
ernment should aid him in making the ex
periment he desires. They see no reason
to Joubt that the power is great and can
be applied to the propulsion of machinery
of all sorts. The only inquiry which pre
sents itself is, can the power of electro
magnetism be produced in sufficient force
in a manner so economical as to admit of
its universal use? Experience, thus fax, is
favorable to an affirmative answer, say the
committee. They recommend the appro
priation of 820,000 to make the experi-
Dka ihbed Confession. A man named
David Kelsey died in this city on Friday
night last, at an advanced age. He has
resided here for more than twenty years,
and for most part of the time has kept an
inferior tavern, near the foot of Main-st.
He has been suspected several times of
committing depredations upon his guests
in the way of plunder, and was charged
with murder, and escaped punishment, from
a want of testimony sufficient to procure
conviction.
However, when advised that his end
was near at hand, he manifested a desire
to have an acquaintance sent for, that he
might confess his crimes before he died.
The person sent for came, and the man
confessed. From that person, who is
highly respectable, we learn that the state
ment involved several robberies of guests at
his house, and the murder for which he was.
arrested several years ago, aud tiied, but
not convicted. The full particulars of the
confession have not been furnished us, but
we learn that the old man stated that he
buried the body on the premises. Some
search has been made, but with what suc
cess we are not informed
During the search on Saturday, several
articles were found secreted about the pre
mises which indicated the truth of the con
fession. Among other things was an oval
brass trunk plate, much corroded, which
bears this inscription : E Baldwin ,
Rochester, N. Y.v This may afford some
clue to a mysterious disappearance either
of the property or person of the owner, or
