plstatttjji gftrntotv J1' HILLSBOROUGH, If. 0. Wednesday, January 22, 1862. Dcatb of Ex-President Tyler Ex-Pres- iJent Tyler Jied suddenly, tt bii rooms in the Exchange Hotel, in the city of Richmond, on Friday night last, at a little Pagt twelve o'clock. While sipping a cup of tea on the Sunday morning previous he wee eeized with a. sudden faintness, and remained indisposed during the following days; but as he' had been at dif ferent peiode of hie life subject to severe attacka of vertigo, uo serious appreheniion was entertained until - Friday evening, when he wae auddenly taken worse, and failing rapidly, without pain, died precisely at fif teen minutes past twelve o'clock. President Tyler was 73 yeara of age, and aerved his eountry with fidelity and distinction in many important offices. Resignation of Secretary Cameron. The rumor in circulation some dsys ago of the resig nation of the Hon. Simon Cameion, the Federal Becre lary of War, ia confirmed, and he has been appointed, it U said, Minister to Russia. The Hon. Edwin M. Sun ton, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed to suc ceed him as Secretary of War. Mr. Cameron's per sonal relations with the President and the members of the Cabinet ere said to have been of the most cordial description, and the cbsnge has been msde at bis own request. Mr.8tantoa was Attorney General towards the close of Mr. Buchanan's administration, and is the legal adviser and intimate friend of Cen. McClellan J end tbe result of the change will be the entire adoption of McClellan'e views ia relation to the mode ef carry jag en the war. It is reported that Secretary Wells of tbe Navy, and Bmiln of the Interior, have both resigned. . Tbe Dnrmlde Expedition This expedi tion left Hampton Roeds on Friday the 10th iaat.,and has made he appearance et Hatteras. Official dis patches received at tbe War Department at Richmond etate that Iwenty-eix Federal steamers were inside the bar, end five lying outside, besides sixteen sail vessels, making a total force of forty-eight vessels. Whether the attack is meditated ia tbe teer of Norfolk .against Ncwbern, or some other point, is a matter of conjee ture only. It is said (bat the whole of the Federal Fleet hae left Port Royal, it is supposed lor the purpose of join ing the Burnside expedition. Fire In Cuapel Ulll We learn that on Friday last, a fire broke eul ia the upper story ef the store house of Mr. Robert Loder, in Chspel Hill, which waa completely destroyed, with tbe adjoining building, occupied by Jo bn W. Carr, Esq. Mr.Carr, wo ere informed, saved all his goods, but Mr. Loder a red only his books. He had a large stock of sol diers clothing and goods on bend, which were lost. He wae insured, we understand, for f 4,000. The fire is supposed to bse been accidental. We are pained to tear that a little son ef Captain Richard J. Ashe, ran a nail ia bia foot at the fire, which brought on the lock-jaw, of which he died on Monday morning. A Runaway &bot A negro man, the proper ty ef Mr. Ttorrui FouU, of Alamance, was shot near this place on SaturJsv task He ran away the lSth of Msy 18(1, after threatening bia master's lib, and he has been prowling about tbia neighborhood for some time, end was hsrbored.1t appears, by a free negro wo man named Jst.e Day, living a few miles from this piece. Several elevee were io'confiJenre with him, and they often met at Jane Day'a and gambled togeth er, one of whom bettayeJ him. Oa Saturday last several gentlemen erased went our to capture him. but ho refused to eorrendsr, swore he would not be tsken, and threatened to cut his way through if opposed. He bad ascended to tbe lop of tbe chimney, intending to mske hie egress from the house thst way, and waa told to stop, or ha woutJ be shot One of the company aimed at hie legs, but the negro stooped just at tbe time to mske a leap, and tbe load lodged in hie abdo men. He fell oa the outside, and a large bowie knife which he bad fell inside of the chimney. He died in fifteen or twenty miautee. . For the Hillsborough Recorder. Mr. Hkartt: After a second trip to the Silt Works in Virginia, we are disappointed like hundreds of others in being able to offer an immediate supply oi salt at reasonable price. The Confederate Government had made heavy requisition for salt, which the Gov ernment agent informed us would be sup plied bjr to-day, (Tuesday Slit January). Uo our first trip thewgent of the Works told us that the? would be able to furnish our alt soon after the 1st of January. But the Government has held the works longer than they expected, and prevented them from ful filling their engagements. They assured us that, unlets the Government made another requisition, they would furnish our salt in about twenty days. We do not expect it now until the latter part of February. We would say to these who cannot get a tempo rr "Pplj, ht will purchase (or them front Wilmington, two bushel sacks, st ten dollars per sack, or three bushel sacks, if preferred, in proportion. This salt will not hold out in measure or in weight, ts it is wet end loses constantly, but is the best thai can be done now, as salt is selling tt enormously high rates in Petersburg. , Kespectfully, " TURRENTINEoSON. In the &ou!sville Courier, of the 7th inst., appears i card from H, J, Breckinridge, an nouncing himself as a candidate for a seat in the Confederate States Congress from Kentucky, of which the following is an ex I tt Ian utter) opposed to a reconstruction of the old Government, or any measure which, in the remotest degree, tends in that direction. For one, I shall never consent that peace shall be made, until the very last of all the enemies of our liberty shall have been driven, not only from our hallowed soil, but from every foot of territory which, from its geographical position, naturally belong to the South. God grant that the day be not far distant when Kentucky will arise free and disenthralled, and assume her true position as one of the fairest among the sis ters of the South. u-..n.x-r.-xAj j-ii-wiii ri , From the Richmond Examiner of Saturday. ' THE ROMNEY EXPEDITION. Direct information was received here yes terday that, on Friday of last week, the Yan kees had abandoned Romney, and that at last accounts General Jackson's command had not invested the place, but had advanced within some six or seven miles of it. The Yankee force in Romney was seven thousand men, under General Kelly. Their flight was precipitate, so much so that all the papers of the Yankee Adjutant General were captured, revealing their force and command, as stated above. A vast amount of military stores were abandoned. The sufferings of our' troops on the expe dition are said to have surpassed anything yet known in the history of the campaign. They were compelled atone time to struggle through an almost blinding storm of snow and sleet, and to bivouac at night in the forests, without tents or camp equipage. Many of the troops were frozen on the march and died from exposure and exhaustion ; and the hospitals at Winchester were filled with the returning sick. The town of Romnev is said to have been left uninjured by the Yankees ; but many of . . . ' - me urm-nouses in me neignouring country had been burnt. About thirty of their strag glers were taken prisoners by our troops. It is said that General Jackson has applied for reinforcements, with the view of an ex tension of bis movements beyond Romney. riOHT IN KENTUCKYANOTHER VICTORY. Lynchburg, Jan. 15. - Intelligence has uccn received nercoy me leuucssee irain, that a firht hail occurred a few miles bevond Prestonburg, Kentucky, between General numpnrey .Marshall, witn z.ouu men, anu the Federals, numbering 8,000. Marshall was retreating when he was attacked, and the enemy came npon him in a narrow gorge. The engagement which resulted is represent ed to have been one oi the most eallant and desperate of the war. Colonel Moore's re- gtment charged upon the enemy, ana a nana to hand conflict ensued, which lasted half an hour. The Federals (ought well, but finally brakeband scattered, and run ofT in "Bull Run" style. -General Marshall's force being exhausted, and so tnoch smaller in number than the Federals, he fell back to Prestonburg. The Confederate loss waa twentv-nve kill ed and fifteen wounded. Tbe enemy's loss was over two hundred. The information about this engagement w as brought to Abingdon by participators in the battle. New Orleans, Jan. 5. We have had two arrivats in neighboring waters, within a few days, from Havana, and coffee has come down to fifty cents, and other luxuries from the F.ver Faithful Isle proportionally. One ol these vessels, the steamer Vanderbilt, left this port with a cargo of Cotton, which, bought here at eight cents in our paper currency, was sold in Havana at twenty-five cents in gold. Her return cargo affords still greater profits. She brought besides collee, segars, kc, forty-five tons of gun powder. The pains upon these ventures are prodigious. This single trip of the Vanderbilt has made a handsome fortune for each of four or five men Who loaded her. Cor. Ckarlttlon Courier. Loss or Southern Trade bt tub North- west. The St. Louis Republican, alluding to the loss of Southern trade by the Western states of the Lincoln uovernment, says : See what awfully desolating results have followed the cessation of that commerce. The Western States of Europe are trem bling under it. Our own North, momenta rily benefitted by a demand for army sup plies, does not feel it, as it will by and by. Hut survey the West with no choice of an outlet to Europe, save through New York its products at half their former price, an,d all its purchases at double price. In fact, the farmer of the West can scarcely raise produce at current prices. The gross yield of his farm would not pay the wages of the hands necessary to raise it. No part of the United States is more afflicted bv the cessa tion of the Southern trade. Men now see the fallacy of all those theories, that belittled Southern industry, and the importance of Southern commerce with it, to the rest of the United States. Let us give some credit to the men, who, while sustaining a system which, though legal, has been held up to un sparing odium, have made that system pro ductive of so many and great benefits, that the withdrawal'of them has sent fear and trembling through the nations. From New Mexico. We have advices from the army of New Mexico, says the Richmond Dispatch, in a private letter, dat ed December 16th. Gen. Sibley had taken possession, by proclamation, of Arizona and New Mexico, and declared martial law there in. 'The letter speaks in high terms of the condition ol Col. Baylor's command, who were about to commence an active campaign gainst the Federals, with a determination to clean them out. , , : , . .Nashville, Jan. 13. ! ft is sleeting and snowing here this even ing. .;.;..-;..:.;..

Late reports estimate that nve thou sand Federals have crossed Green river, at Munfordsville,' and encamped ' at Rowers station, four miles from the .bridge, and are throwing up heaAy embankments, lhe Lou isville and Nashville Turnpike, near Wood- sonville, was blown up on the 7th. A .General, Exchange of Prisoners. When the exchange of the 250 prisoners sent bv us into the rebel lines through For tress Monroe shall be completed, it is the purpose of Secretary Cameron to send all the remaining prisoners in our hands South, to be exchanged for an equal number of Union captives. ,...- "' New Orleans Grocery Market. On the 30th, 1000 hhds. sugar changed hands at 21 to 24 cents for common to good: 2j to 3f cents for fair to fully fair, and 3? to 4 for prime to choice. The demand was slacken ing owing to difficulty of shipping or for- warding. - 3,500 barrels of molasses changed hands at 18 to 21 cents for fermenting, and 201 to 22 cents for prime to choice. The Gladiator. Late information receiv ed by the Quincey (Fla.) Dispatch, of the 8th, enables the editor of that paper to state that the Gladiator is now safely moored in a confederate port a Honda port. The Gla diator has two millions worth of arms. It is said that Gen. Price, Col. Mcintosh and Gen. Thompson, Missouri, will form i junction and advance ; but uo decisive move uent is expected till spriqg.

Dispatches from Washington state that in diplomatic circles the opinion prevails that war with England is inevitable. " The recog nition of the Southern Confederacy is look ed for at an early day. lhe New York banks have declined to take any further loans from the government. Fixe Hogs. Messrs. F. & H. Fries of Sa lem, killed on the 8th inst., 8 hogs of the same litter, pigged on the 6th of July, 1860, whose aggregate weight was 3,605 pounds averaging 450 pounds each. Sugar and Molasses. In consequence of the large crop of sugar and molasses in Lou isiana, a movement is on foot among the planters, to plant only hail a crop of cane next year, and turn 'their attention to other produce. It is stated that at least one-third of the present crop will be on hand at next planting time. The planters complain of low prices, a complaint which consumers about here do not realize. The New York Journal "of Commerce" says some of the Connecticut regiments are having coats of mail manufactured to protect them from Confederate bullets. The Spanish troops entered the city and fort at Vera Cruz on the 17th December, without opposition. The Mexicans abandon rd their artillery and munitions of war. The French fleet had arrived at Havana. The conductor of the Arkansas State pen itentiary says that by Spring he will have ten thousand pairs of boots and shoes for the soldiers, manufactured by the convicts. Thai's a psying institution. Blockade Prices. The following articles, being a portion of a cargo recently arrived from Havana, were sold at auction in Savan nah,on the 31st ultt 1,038 sacks of coffee, of various brands, brought from 60 to 661c. per pound : 20 pieces of navy and army cloth brought 1 10 a 121 per yard; 20 carboys carbonic acid brought (1 per pound; 100 hhds. clarified and brown sugars brought 8 a 11 cents per pound ; 80 reams letter paper brought 9 a eioi per ream.

At Kanadahur eight thousand peo ple died in eighteen days. Generosity. Gen. HammonJ of Edge. field, S. C, has sold 400 bushels of Salt to his neighbors at 40 cents a bushel, besides giving away a considerable quantity to poor people. A Moral Defeat. The Louisville Cour ier aptly says the Yankees have suffered their second grand defeat since they commenced the war. The first was the defeat of their arms at Manassas, and the second the defeat of. their pUns sgainst Mason and Slidell. The former was a physical defeat while the latter was a moral defeat. Each was signal and complete, and both were overwhelming. lhe moral defeat ts not at all less impor tant or significant than the other, while the damage mar be greater and more difficult to be repaired. A defeat of arms may be re trieved, but a ir jral defeat, with its discrace and infamy, can only be wiped out by long years of trial, probation and good behaviour Manufactories of Georgian The Atlan- ta (Geo;) Intelligencer says : The aggregate weekly production of cotton goods in this State, may be set down as follows : ' Shirtings and sheetings. 202.000 varrta.
