At a meeting of the democratic party of Unslovv county, held at the Court House in Jacksonville, on the 1st day of April, 1850, on motion of Harvey Cox, the meet ing was organized by calling John A. Aver itt to the Chair ; and Jasper Etheridge and James II. Filyaw were requested to act as Secretaries. The object of the meeting was explained by the chairman in a very appropriate ad dress. On motion, the Chair was requested to appoint a committee of five to draft reso lutions expressive of the objects of the meeting. J he committee retired for a short time, and returned and reported the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, It is the custom of the democratic party to meet in "Convention and consult as to the best. interests of the country ; and whereas, unanimity of action is desirable, and can onlv be obtained througn such Convention, therefore it is 1. Resolved, That this meeting approve of the proposition to hold a State Convention for the purpose or nominating a candidate for Governor, and recommend Raleigh as a suitable place, and concur with our democratic brethren of Cumber land, that the 15th day of May is a suitable time. 2. Resolved, That the chairman be authorized to appoint two delegates from each Captain's District to represent the county in said Conven tion. 3. Resolved, That the democracy of Onslow have entire confidence in the wisdom and pa triotism of the proposed Convention, and pledge themselves to use all honorable means to secure the election of the nominee. 4. Resolved, That we re-assert our firm ad herence to the old and tried principles of the democratic party principles which have stood the test of time, and guided the country to its present unexampled prosperity. In compliance with the second resolu tion, the. chairman appointed the follow ing gentlemen as delegates to attend the State Convention at Raleigh, viz: M. L. F. Redd, Joseph Ennett, Eli W.

Carolina. On motion, Resolved. That these proceedings be publish ed in the Wilmington Journal and North Caro linian, and all other democratic papers that feel friendly to the cause of Democracy. JOHN A. AVERITT, Ch'n. Jasper Etheridge, qr.tar:ps, James H. Filyaw, Dreadful. We learn from the St. Louis Republican, that on the night of the 22d ult. the house of a Mr Wetherby, sit uated one and a half miles from Peru, Illi nois, was totally consumed by fire, the family having retired. Two of the daugh ters, one seven and the other about sixteen vears of age, perished in the flames. The eldest (laughter, aged eighteen years, jumped from the second story window and broke her back; the mother barely escaped, and one of the sons was severely burnt. The house and contents were entirely con sumed. Mr V. the father of the family, is either at St. Joseph or Independence, on his way to California. A Singular Cure of Disease is the Spine. The Glasgow Examiner relates a msp. endorsed bv the most resnectable authority, of a young woman, named Jane Carrick, who had been a confirmed para lytic confined to her bed for 8 years, that has been completely cured by the applica tion of air vessels, on the principle of cupp ing tn the back f without extracting blood and taking no medicine. Her spine has been restored to its proper position, and by two weeks treatment was enabled to walkabout. Experiments can easily be made to test the correctness of this mode of treatment for a disease which baffles the skill of our most eminent physicians If there is any truth jn the statement, it cannot be too widely known, nor too soon. IMPATIENCE. Life of my life at once my fate decree I wait my death, or more than life from thee. I have no arts,: nor powers, thy soul to move, But doting constancy and boundless love; This is ray all had I the werld to give, ' T Thine were its throne: note bid me die or live. MUTINY AND MUKDEK, On board a JVorth Carolina Vessel. From tho Elizabeth City "Old North State." - We are under the painful necessity of publishing to-day the facts in reference" to the Mutiny, as related to us by Captain Riggs, and which took place on board the J. B. Lindsay, owned by Wm. Simmons, Esq, of this place, on the 27th of January last, when on; day out from Trinidad on her passage to this port. The following are the particulars as related by the Cap tain and one of the crew. The first day the J. B. Lindsay left Trinidad, when in latitude II north, and at about 2 o'clock, p. in., a pistol was fired in the forward part of the vessel, which was the first intimation of a mutiny with the exception of a slight suspicion which the Captain had entertained of two of his crew, Thomas Reed and K. Clemmons while in St. Thomas. On hearing this noise, the Captain went on deck and asked the Mate what it meant, who replied that he did not know, but would nd see. He went forward and the captain thinks demanded the pistols of Reed and Clem mons, who were, as it has since been prov ed, the only two mutineers on board. They told the mate, they would give the weapons to him soon; and in a short time he returned to the captain witli two pis tols. All seemed to be quiet till about 10 o'clock at night, as near as the captain can recollect, when he was awoke by a noise on deck and heard the mate calling for mercy He went on deck, and with a pistol in each hand, proceeded to the mate who was lying by the wheel in the last agonies ot death, and who made no reply to the captain's interrogatories but faintly said good bye." The mutineers retreat ed forward on the approach of the captain, who then tried to get the mate into the cabin; but they again approached him. both being armed. the captain seeing them coming, made an effort to jump into the cabin, when Reed fired at him, the ball striking him in the throat, cutting away the flesh and part of the windpipe, so that he breathed through the wound, swallowing much blood. It was not dis covered until now, when the cook under took to load the two pistols taken from the mutineers by the mate, that both of them had the vent connecting with the barrel bushed up with large needles broken off even with the barrel, so they could not be fired. The captain having succeeded in getting into the cabin, bound up his wound so as to prevent its bleeding. At this time one door of the cabin was shut and the half of the other open. Soon Clemmons came to the door and struck it three times with an axe, and called fur the cook to come out and be murdered. No reply was made. Capt. Riggs supposes this was done to call him forth into some position so as to give Reed an opportunity to shoot him. The next the captain saw of Reed was on the left side of the House. Here Reed presented his pistol to the captain, and the captain at the same time presented his. Thev both fired. Reed fired in the door at the caplajn, and the captain fired out of the door at Reed. Reed fell on deck. The capiain said to the cook, who was in the cabin, 44 1 have one of them down.'' Not yet daring to go on deck, not knowiog how many had conspired against him, but turning to Reed who lay bleeding profusely, he said, 44 you look pretty you old pirate." Reed tried to say something in reply, but could not be un derstood. The captain loaded again, dur ing which time Reed got up. From this time the captain sat by the aft door of the cabin till nearly morning, when he went into the after cabin with the steward, Danl Smith. They remained there till after the light of day, when they went into the other cabin. During the whole time one of the crew by the name of Costellow, who was a faithful friend of the captain, was kept on deck under the power of the mu- assistance to the captain. During this J- ' Lmdsay. I hey landed at.'Laguayra time a passenger by the name of Walker had been killed on deck, at what exact time the captain does not know- The cap-' tain and the cook were kept in the cabin At this time the mangled bodies of the mate and passenger had been laving on deck for more than a day and being in a warm climate tl ey emitted such an offen sive smell that it was with the greatest dif ficulty that the captain and cook could stay in the cabin. During the night the captain did not know where the two muti neers were, or Costellow j but after some time he heard a pistol fired in the hold, after which Clemmons asked the captain if he could have the boat, fearing if he w ent aft to get it the captain would shoot him, and at the same time telling the cap tain if he did not deliver up the boat he would scuttle the vessel. He was asked several times by Clemmons before he made any reply ; and when he replied Clem mons did not understand him, and told Costellow to go to the captain and ascer tain what he said. When Costellow ap proached the door of the cabin, the cap tain seeing him through the binnacle point ed his pistol at him and within about two feet of his head and snapped it, but it did not discharge itself Costellow went for ward. After this Clemmons again asked, if he could have the boat, to which the cap tain replied that he coulii if they would go away and leave him. Clemmons said, will you not shoot us ? The captain re plied no. He now came aft anil got upon the house and with the muzzle of his pis tol closed the two sliding doors of the bin nacle so as to prevent biing shot by the captain, anil ordered Costellow to let the boat down which he did. This being done they brought it to the starboard side of the vessel, and put into it their baggage, the sails, and whatever provisions they could get- Reed now got into the boat and Clemmons ordered Costellow to fellow him which he did- After Clemmons had de scended into the boat, Costellow jumped on the deck of the vessel, when Clemmons asked him where he was going; to which he replied, after the ax and turning around he saw Reed silting in the boat with a pistol in each hand. He found the ax with which he endeavored to cut the painter and let ttic boat go a adrift, but being agitated he did not strike the rope the first time, but with the second blow he cut the boat loose, and run for the hold. The captain hearing the nosise said to the cook they have begun to scuttle her. Then Costellow went to the cabin door and tried to open it, telling the captain the boat was a stern, but the captain told him that if he broke open the door he would shoot him. telling him at the same time to go forward. He obeyed. The captain opened the door anil saw the boat astern with Clemmons and Reed in her. The captain now came on deck, and Costellow approached him saying 1 have had nothing to do with the murder, and gave up to the captain the pistol which Reed had given lit in, and which he says he had once snapp ed at the head of Clemmons while asleep on deck. . Feeling now free from danger the cap tain, Costellow and the cook sewed the mate up in a hammock, tied some bags of sand to his feet and hurried him according to their usual custom, by throwing his body overboard. The above are Ihe mo.st important facts connected with this awful tragedy. We understand that the muti neers have bepn caught, and that theAme rican Consul at St. Thomas had caused the Sloop of War Ccrmantown to go after them, and no doubt they will soon be in the United States, where they will be tried, and when all the particulars may be learned. We think however that it should be a warning to all captains to search their crew before going to sea to prevent them from having deadly weapons of any kind. We take the following from a St. Thomas paper of the 2nd inst : The U. S. Commercial Agent of this place informs us that he is in receipt of a letter from the American Consul at La guayra, announcing the arrest, at that port, of Thomas Reed and Edward Clemens, the late mutineers on board the schooner all day on Monday, during the most of iT'ltinli PlaniinMnO ll'l C tl'O 1 L- I l fr llnin f K. ton of the house, for the purpose, as the ! 1,3 P1' J1?'1 thf cr.pt.on given in he on the 8th ult., and reported themselves to the Consul as cast away seamen, and soli cited his aid to enable them to proceed to Jamaica, where they stated they were anx ious to go. On the 9th, the day following, the news of the mutiny arrived there from captain supposes, of getting a chance to; j Consul's Advertisement of Reward, left shoot him. About dark they were seen in the hold coming aft, when the cook said to the captain, they are comingaft." He fired at them and they retreated on deck. It was afterwards ascertained that they were after the sail for the boat- At the same time that captain Riggs shot Reed, Clemmons shot the mate w ho was laying at the wheel, and either at this time or at some time previous they stabbed the the mate as it was afterwards discov ered. Clemmons about this time being con cealed from the sigiit of the captain, asked him if he could have the boat to which the captain replied no ; I want to shoot another one of you. When they were seen in the hold after sailes for the boat it was a bout dark. During the night the captain feat by the cabin door till towards morning, when the cook took his place, and the capiain lean nS against the side of the cabin endeavor ed to get a little sleep, being much ex hausted, not having had anything to eat or drink except some-vinegar ami molasses Having passed the night as -well as they could, in the morning they shut the doors of the cabin and nailed light the run door. no ilonlit ft to their beiii" the iieiKOtiK j . - - - w j sought alter.
