TJHJE NORTH CAKOlLflWIAN From the People's Press, Salem, N. C . j back, encountering ill OUT route tWO En- KLMni&UbNLLS Ub A UKbY 1 11 glish Brigs of war, from whose annoyance I . t rflFLKMAN. In the month of May, 1809, Captain Benjamin Forsyth, with his Rifle Corps, consisting of about seventy men, princi pally natives of Stokes county, took up his line of inarch from Germanton to Washing ton, in this State, taking the route through Raleigh, where the Ladies, (God bless them) paid our company a heart-thrilling compliment, by a general waving of white handkerchiefs, from windows and bal conies, at the same time bestowing upon us their smiles of approbation and varmest wishes for our safety, whenever our coun try might call us to the battle field- After a brief stay of a few weeks in Washington, we were again on the inarch for another point in our destiny, and soon found ourselves in Fort Fowhattan, on James River, with orders "to quarter there ii n il the Spring of 1810: when, by orders from head quarters, we sailed down the river and pitched our tents at Fort Norfolk, for the tedious space of eighteen months: at the expiration of which time, it beino daily expected war would be declared agiinst Great Britain, we received orders to move Northward, and accordingly, were hastily packed on board of a vessel, There duer eigiu nays ot severe sea sickness, we landed at Fort Columbus, on Governor's island, in the harbor of New York, which place came very near settling every one of our final accounts. Our entire compa ny at one time seemed to be lyinw at the point of death, and we should no doubt all have died, but for timely permission re ceived from the Secretary of War, for us to remove to the U. S. Barracks, on Sta ten Island. To obtain this permission, our worthy Captain, who watched over every one of his men like a guardian and a father, had to write not less than three urgent letters to the War Department. The bad water, damp air, and other promoters of disease on Governor's Island, were thankfully exchanged by us, for the high land, healthy atmosphere, good wa ter, &c , of Staten Island, the partial re semblance of which, to our own mountain region, restored the surviving portion of our men to jrood health, readv for service. just as war was declared, when to our great joy we were forthwith ordered to Sackett's Harbor, on Lake Ontario, where we arri ved after a series of forced marches, in Ju ly 1812, a day or two subsequent to the unsuccessful attempts of the British to take that place. John Bull having been beaten oft" by our vessels of War, aided by a small but truly gallant body of raw militia. Our company, being the first U. S. Reg ulars tliat reached the scene of action, Capt. Forsyth assumed the command of that sta tion, and retained it until superseded by the arrivals of his superior officers, at the head of whom was the brave General Pike, who the following year lost his life, in the battle of York, Upper Canada. It will be seen that here, at Sackett's Harbor, commenced the active military career of the Forsyth Riflemen. The first rencontre between our company and the John Bull's, took place on the Canada shore, about ICO miles down the river St. Lawrence, where we made a descent for the purpose of capturing a notorious old tory by the name of Stone, who, according to reliable information received by our commander-in-chief, had nearly completed the organization of a gang of about fifty desperadoes, intended expressly, undeV his command to make excursions into the various unprotected settlements on our side of the river, with the fell determina tion to butcher, scalp, burn and destroy, without regard to age, sex, or condition. The old tory, as we understood, boast ed of having with the aid of Indians, scalp ed and killed, scores of women and chil dren, on the Mohawk river, during the revolutionary war, and promised thafwith ihe assistance he was about to receive from the British Government, he would excel mani-fold, his former murderous achieve ments. These rumors were calculated to, and did arouse the patriotism of our warm hearted and gallant captain, who, as if by electricity, communicated all he felt to every one under his command ; and as quick as lightning, all of us, to a man, pledged ourselves to accompany him on any enterprise at the blast of the bugle, without regard to how far our m.irrh mmlit extend into, the territory of our hauhtv irwl o.,lf J O J aim atii Luuicutu enemy. To conclude, as briefly as possible this meagre narrative of our first meeting face to face with men armed and determined "to do or die," I will remark, that on a cold day in the month of October, 1312, agreeably to a well concerted plan, our company, to the number of 105, (every man of whom was a dead shot) headed bv our indomitable commander, started in open row-boats down the river for the haunts of the old tory. On our w ay down stream, we were detained by a severe storm of snow, hall and slee't, and not until the end of six days did we effect a landing on the Canada, shore, near the tory's dwelling. We had scarcely landed before we were discovered by "'the old tory's men: more than half of whom, 30 in number, we killed in fair fight ; and although we failed to catch or kill the old murderer himself, yet by destroying the better part of hi. . men, all if his provisions, anu other munitions of war, we so terrified and crippled him that we accomplished our object, and he wa3 prevented from carrying into execut.on his nefarious plans of rapine ad urder,-Consequently, hundreds of families living on the New York side of the river St. Lawrence, were .thus rescued from the bloody scalpino- knife and tomahawk of the old tory and his murderous companions. In accomplish ing this, we unfortunately lost one of our best men, who was shot dead by a ball that pierced his left breast- Peace to Ins ashes,'' which lie buried on the spot where he fell. And haying in this manner literally and successfully earned the "war into Africa," where we thought we had rendered our country some little service, we embarked in our boats and made the best of our way - r i " j we were haimilv rpsmpil hv the annmar.li . i -- -j 1 i ota portion of our naval force, on board of which we were received with great rejoicings and speedily transported to Sackett's Harbor j where, as we landed, and our success became known, flags were displayed, guns fired and thundering cheers upon cheers given, both by our fleet and army, for the Forsyth Riflemen. VVM. EATON, Sen., From tho N. T. Journal of Commerce STATUE OF GEN. JACKSON. Washington, April 9. The equestrian statue in brmv.e of An. drew Jackson, which has been for the last four years in progress, under the direc- uou oi me distinguished statuary, Clarke Mills, is near completion, and will be readv to be id in Lafayette Square, opposite the Presi dent's H ouse, on the 4th of July next. A part of the figure of Jackson has been already successfully cast. The horse is to be cast very soon. Mr Mills' processes in casting are entirely origi nal. His genius has devised a new path in the arts, whereby results are obtained by speedier and more economical processes than have been heretofore used. The statue will be one of the most spir ited and imposing of all the productions of modern art. The size and weight will be about the same as of the statue of Peter the Great, at St. Petersburgh. It will be one-third larger than life, and will weigh thirty-five thousand pounds. The material used consists of old brass cannon, con demned by the government. Some of the guns used as material are trophies of the revolution. The brass guns and mortars captured by General Jackson at Pensaco la are to surround the base of the statue.

And con venient to the court house Mr Harman Miller has erected a soacious house of en- leriainment, winch he Keens in a suDerior style ot neatness and comfort. But as no one house could ar.nimmiiil.itp nil tlm guests in court time, some of the lawyers and others staid at Salem hotel, being'for warded back and forth between the hotel and the court house in an omnibus proyided by the obliging landlord. The new courthouse is an elegant one in outside design, and spacious and com modious in the interior. The front is in the Doric style, executed with accurate regard to the main details of the order. The first story is divided by a passage, lengthwise, on each side of which are sit uated the jury rooms and offices of the clerks and sheriff. The second stnrv is occupied by the court room. The bar is circular, and strikes us as remarkably con venientperhaps somewhat larger than ueceshury. ne noor ot the entire room is covered with a cheap durable home made carpet, which prevents the "noise and con tusion" so annoying in other court rooms not thus provided. A strong and well finished jail is nearly completed. And the county is also duly provided with those other signs of civiliza tion, a pillory and stocks. The site of the court house is a very fine one, on the most elevated spot in the vil lage. This is decidedly the towniest country we have seen four towns lying end-and end all m a row to wit : Salem, Winston, Liberty, and a little village originated by wood choppers, the name of which we do not know, if it has any. Then not far this side of Salem lies Waughtown. And be sides, there are some dozen towns scatter ed over the country, too tedious to men tion. We gupss Forsythe is the only county in the State that nas the Court room carpeted. A Magnificent Meteor. About a quarter before 9 o'clock last evening one of the most brilliant meteors ever beheld in this city, was seen in the Northeastern part of the heavens. Its flight was slow, and its direction downward from East to North. As it shot along it threw off a large number of exceedingly brilliant scintillations, which increased "in number as the meteor descended. It was the most brilliant spectacle we ever saw of the kind. Savannah JVcws, of the 10. The same meteor was seen by many persons in this city, and as its course was nearly from the S. S. East to N. N. West, it must have been very distant and of great size to have been visible to both pfaces moving in such a line, without crossing between them. Moreover it was distinctly seen to explode, but no sound was heard. The light was so great from it as to startle the attention by its diffused effect upon the air, and this notwithstanding a bright moonlight. Chas. Mercury, 12th. Ingenious Tooth Puller. Dr. J. C.

Two cases were removed from Davidson to this County, and tried. The one, a case of Grand Larceny, was taken up on Wednesday, and the Defendant acquitted. On Thursday, the other Davidson case the State vs. Edmund Martin, a free negro, arraigned on a charge of stealing a slave, the property of G. W. Smith of Davidson County, was taken up. The Jury having been duly impanelled, the Counsel for the State proceeded to detail the circumstances connected with the transaction. From these it appears, that Edmund Booker, a citizen of Stokes Coun ty, was travelling to the South with a load of tobacco, and when near the house occu pied by Martin, a horse in his team was taken sick, and the negro assisted in re lieving the animal. During the time thus spent, certain vague hints were whis pered by Martin to Booker, relative to the disposal of some "fine stock," which was in the possession of the former, and the sale of which by the latter would tend speedily to enrich him. With perhaps a little more definite information as to the nature of the property, Booker proceeded on South, with an invitation from the negro to call at his house on his return, and re- j - ceive more fully the details of the business with which he was to be intrusted. In due course of time, Booker agreea bly to promise, when on his homeward route, obtained from Martin the whole plan of operation, which by his aid and assistance was to be carried into effect, Martin stated, that there were at that time in the neighborhood, and under his con trol, several runaway slaves, whom he would induce to nrrnnitunv Rnrilrpi. nn representation that they were to be carried i" a uce oiuie, uui uisieau, iney were to be conveyed bv him out ot the neiehbor- hood and sold, and the profits and espen- ses ot such sale to be equally uivuied be tween them. These communications were made to liooker under promise or secrecy, with a warning on the part of the negro, that there was danger in case of a betrayal of the confidence reposed in him, as he Martin, was a member of the Murrel clan, and his life would r.ertainlv be fnrfpitpd in the vengeance of the Gang in case of dis closure. Christmas having been fixed upon as the time for the delivery of one of the slaves, Booker on reaching home divulged the whole matter to Capt. Hamlet, ofStokes, & through him to several others of character and standingsufTicient to sustain him in the prosecution of the plan, with the design of eventually exposing and bringing to the bar of Justice, the negro and any abettors he might have in the scheme of villainy. Having made these necessary arrange ments, Booker at the appointed time, returned to Martin's house, and after some little delay, owing to the unexpected pre sence of a third nartv. a slave bv tho namo of Giles, the property of Col. Smith, was mirouuceu, and the easy dupe ot the wily representations of the free negro, became a voluntary companion on a journey to what he imagined to be the lam! of free dom. Booker with all due speed, arrives in Salem, and exhibits the negro as proof of the villanous plot- conceived by Martin, ami of his own disinterested agency in the execution of it, acting under the advice of !iis friends. The slave was carried to Germanton and there lodged in Jail; and Booker again returns to Davidson, to secure another promised to him by the defendant, repres ented as a good blacksmith, and therefore valuable. Some suspicions, it seems, had however been excited in the mind of Martin and a rupture between the two was the conse quence. The negro indulging in sundry- threats against the life of Booker, induced the latter to leave the premises and seek the house of Mr McDonald, a gentleman of high standing in the community, pres enting a lelter of introduction from the friends of that gentleman, under whose ad vice Booker was acting. After a state ment of all the circumstances, a warrant was issued against the defendant, who was arrested and lodged in Davidson Jail. The trial occupied the whole of Thurs day till 9 o'clock at night. Counsel for the prisoner: John A. Gilmer, J. M. Leach, and J- R. McLane, Esqrs. For the State, Solicitor Poindexter and R.

Richmond Republican. t From the Charleston Mfrcury. STATE ACTION OUR SENATORS. We give in another column a brief ac count from the Edgefield Advertiser, of Senator Butler's speech on Monday last. It will be seen that, as the result of his best observation in Washington, he is con vinced there will be no attempt to coerce south Carolina ; mat the ace oi secession does not involve the danger of civil war. In this he precisely agrees with Mr Rhett, who, on the same day in Charleston,' very clearly and strongly sustained the same conclusion. Our Senators also fully agree in another very important conclusion, that an attempt on the part of the General Government to maintain its authority over South Carolina by force, would certainly and inevitably result in a Southern Con federacy. Ar this nnint thpv CPPm tn 1 1 vi il Rnp the very reason that South Carolina would be suffered to go peaceably out of the Union, Judge Butler somewhat shrinks from it. He supposes that it would be the nolicv of the Federal Government to i j . . draw as broad lines as possible between us and our. neighbor States, and by every means to fix upon us the character of a for eign nation. Mr Rhett admits that the Fed eral Government would have no ?nod will to us, but maintains that they would have but a very limited power over our relations with our sister States, and he looks with the utmost confidence to the ability of South Carolina to support her sovereignty with honor, and her industrial pursuits in prosperty. He is willing to trust South Carolina alone, to maintain, on her own resources, the character of an independent State. For our part we agree with Mr Rhett. We know well that in a contest of force. South Carolina could be borne down by the other States united. But they never can be united for such a purpose, and any serious attempt to combine their power for the object of subjugating one, will speedi ly end in sundering the Confederacy. And what the direct attempt would effect speedily, the indirect attempt, whether by blockade, by collecting duties off' our har bors, ot by any system of harassing hostili ty on our borders, would effect in no long time. The Federal Government will have a greater interest in keeping the peace, anil observing scrupulously all the laws of good neighborhood, with us, than we with them. Within ourselves, then, have we any reason to fear the results of an independent Government? We answer, decidedly not. South Carolina is larger than all those Grecian States combined, which filled their own and all after times with the glory of their achievements in war and peace. South Carolina is nearly a third larger than the entire Swiss Confederation, which for more than four centuries has maintained its Republican institnt ntns and sturdy independence against the assaults of the powerlul military Governments that hem it in on every side. South Carolina is larger than Belgium and Hollandjunit ed, two kingdoms that maintain a res pectable place in the politics of Europe. We do not fear the consequences of in dependence. South Carolina has a foreign commerce greater in proportion to lier population than any people in the world, and in the condition of her industry, and the variety oi lier productions, has a sub stantial Inundation for independence. Let it come, then. We do not fear the result of the trial. Messrs. Wells & Gowen, submarine operators, of Boston, have contracted with the Navy Department to remove the wreck of the United States steam frigate Missouri, which was burnt to the water's edge and sank several years ago, near Gibraltar.

S. T. HAWLEY & SON. April 12, 1S31. 33-ft The storm mentioned in mir IacI nulmv ing passed over the lower part of Ilich- uiouu county, in. tj., was, we understand, unprecedented severe. Its general course was from west' to east, and its lorce so great that scarce a tree is left in its track lor some fifteen miles. Fortunately it passed over but few settlements. The greatest damage we have heard of, occur red on the plantation of Mr Charles Mal loy, whose saw mill, grist mill, cotton house, and a negro house were swept from their foundations Mr Godfrey Rachel, and a brother of his, had their houses blown down. There were three persons in Mr Malloy's mill, who all escaped uninjured The force of the tornado was confined to a very narrow space, anil its track in many places may be traced on the ground, where it has left a mark as if a strong current of water had passed over it for hours Che raw Gazette. Horses. There is one thing in which many farmers are negligent in the care of their horses. They feed their whole stock early in the evening, and they do not go to the barn again for the night. When the horse has eaten his supper of dry fodder, he is very thirsty, but he has no drink, and sutlers greatly for want of it. The next morning his thirst has abated, by an equalization of moisture in the system, and he has become hungry, and is looking for his breakfast, so he will not drink frequently, in the morning, thojgh water is ottered. It is but little tiouble to run the horse to water, about nine o'clock in the evening, and it should be attended to. If the food be cut and moistened as now practised by many, it will be, in a great measure, a remedy for the evil. An Astrologer Arrested. C. W.
