4 14 TUESDAY, OCT. 9. 1821. AGRICULTURAL. The Cattle Show under the Ilowan Agricultu ral Society, was held in this place on Thursday last, the 4th inst. Although not a?, numerously attended, -nor as many specimens brought for ward, as on like occasions in the Northern states, t still was a very flattering beginning, and more than equalled the expectations of the warmest friends of the institution. In our next we shall have the satisfaction of presenting to our readers n full account of the Show, as also a statement of the proceedings of the Society on that and the succeeding day. THE CONVENTION AGAIN. It was our purpose, as we statccl in our last, to have gone through with the Cape Fear Recorder in this week's paper; but having, in our two preceding numbers, treated the subject at considerable length, we will at present content ourselves with re-printing the remarks from the Hillsbo rough Recorder on the " address to the East." We feel fully assured that the ed itor of the Hillsborough paper will find no difficulty in managing all the argu ments of the Cape Fear Recorder, should even those of the Halifax Compiler be culled and brought in. In the course of our previous observa tions, we remarked that the Cape Fear Recorder seemed delighted with the con ceit, that a Convention in the West would resemble the Hartford Convention. Con nected with this discovery, there is another thought of his, which appears to tickle him still more : he has honored the editor of the Carolinian, by electing him Secre tary of the supposed Convention. We can seriously assure our brother editor, that our vanity is not so great as to elate cither of us with the hopes of reaching that station. Should a Convention be as semblcd in the West, that situation will be filled by merits superior to our own, or even those of the editor of the Recorder. But strange things have taken place ! and should either of us, by any happy chance, obtain that appointment, ve promise our brother of Cape Fear not to forget him ; we will use our best exertions to have him appointed to another post that of jDoor Keener. The New-York Convention) which is now in session, and whose proceedings thus far are characterized by dignity and moderation, was " got up," says the Wil mington Recorder, " by party, supported by interest, and carried on by ambition ; nothing but the few patriots of the " olden times," such as the editor of the Recor der, Sec. See) can secure to that highly respectable state any thing like its origi nal constitution." These are broad and unqualified assertions ; and, in imitation of the Recorder, we will in our turn as sert, that if it " was got up by party," the fieoile were the " party ;" if it was " sup ported by interest," it was the interest of the ficcf.lc ; if it v.-as " carried on by am bition," it was an ambition approved and" hallowed by a vast majority of the free cit izens of that state. The doings of this Convention arc to be submitted to the peo p!c, to undergo their scrutiny, and to re ceive their sanction, before they possess the least force : where is the danger, then ? One must look through the same medi um with the Recorder, to discover it. The people of New-Ycrk arc fully compe tent., even without the assistance of these patriots of the " olden times," to secure whatever of their " original constitution" that is worthy of securing, and of making fiitch additions and alterations as a change of circumstances, and the increased light w hich ihz experience of nearly half a cen tnrv has thrown on the science of govern ment, render necessary. Yes, Mr. Edi tor, " absurd as it may appear" to you, the ro.7j,are capable of doing this ; the peo ple will do it ; and not only in the state of Xew-York, but in North-Carolina. The following letter from DrMitchcll, to some one in Concord, N. C. is extrac ted from the last Fayettevillc Gazette. Dr. Jones terms cofiec a " foreign poi son Dr. Mitchell Bays, " if it is a poi- json, he bugrit to havcoecn poisoned 4ong ago," as he is in the constant habit of " sip ping the infusion pure." Who shall de cide, when Doctors disagree ? 'New-York, August 31, 1821. " , Esq. "Dear Sin: Your letter concerning the virtues of coffee, reached me thisdav.

CHRIST'S CHURCH The Ycstrv and Congregation of Clirist's Church, hi Rowan County, finding" their present House of Worship insufficient to accommodate the numerous and respectable auditory which frequently attends ; and not having it in their power, from their own resources, (during the present hard times,) to erect such a building1 as will afford shelter and convenience to all arc constrained, in order to accomplish this desirable object, and extend the influence of godliness, to solicit assistance from their christian friends. 1 subscription paper, for the above purpose, is left at this office, where those who may feel disposed, can have an opportunity of contributing some thing towards the accomplishment of the object above mentioned. FRUITS OF A RIWTVAL. At the late meeting of the Missionary Society of North-Carolina, a few young men and little boys presented their pastor, the Rev. J. D. Kit- Patrick, with ten (hilars, to constitute him a; member for life of that society. True religion commences in the heart, from the inllucr.ee of the word and spirit of God ; then like the circling wave produced by a pebble cast into still water, extends its circle all around, in acts of devotion towards God and benevolence towards the world.

We copy tbe follow ing notice of this interesting youth, from a letter published in the National Gazette, written by an American Gentleman in Vienna, to his brother in New Jersey. As the son of Bonaparte will probably, here after, be frequently mentioned, we think the account interesting. Whether he will inherit more r,f his father's genius than he has of his fortune, is very doubt ful. Savannah (t orgiun. " The young Napoleon, now little more than ten, is well grown of his age, and seems very intelligent, and very well in structed, and is a great favorite with his grand-father, and with every body. I saw him first as he stepped out of the imperial carriage with his tutor ; the main-guard turned out to salute him ; the people remained uncovered, and the little fellow bowed on this side and that, with an air that shewed that it. was not the first time he had received such respectful sal utations. He has a fair complexion, light hair, blue eyes, and an expression of coun tenance more amiable than heroic. I must confess that although I had seen their imperial majesties without emotion, and have looked with indifference at the crowns, the balls, the sceptre, which the vulgar are permitted to gaze at, yet I could not behold the son of Bonaparte without profound feeling. At the imperial box, he was obliged to sit behind the princes of the blood, but he was continually putting his head for ward as in the hey-day of childhood and happiness, and making observations which seemed very much to amuse the young princes." THE COA'TJiOVEIiSr Between the U. S. Bank and the State of Ohio. This controversy has, we understand, from an unquestionable source, come to a final issue in the Circuit Court of the U nited States for the District of Ohip. To give our readers a distinct compre hension of that issue, it is necessary to inform them, that a bill in chancery was Ued aqrainst the collecting officers of the state to restrain the collection of the tax imposed by the state ; on which an injunc tion was granted. Prior to the collection of the tax this injunction was served ; but, as those officers supposed, and as they were advised by counsel, that it was ille gally served, they proceeded notwith standing to collect the tax, and levied S 100,000, about $20,000 in specie, and the residue in the notes of the corporation. The counsel for the Bank, entertaining an opinion of the service of the injunc tion different from that ot the opposite counsel, proceeded against the officers for an alleged contempt in disobeying the injunction, and the Court adjudged the injunction to have been legally served ; but, at the instance of the counsel of the officers, continued the prosecution for the contempt until the hte term of the Court. The Dank also instituted an action of tresnass, auare clausttm frciri! atrainst the . . . 1 officers and the sureties, in their office bond, for entering its office at Chillicothe, and forcibly seizing the Sl0,000; u which the defendants severally pled not guilty. After the seizure, the Bunk a mended its bill, and stated that Fact, ob tained an injunction to prevent the nego tiation of the notes seized, and prayed a decree for the restoration of the specific money and notes which had been levied. Thus the Bank had in operation three remedies for the recovery of the sum ta ken : 1st, the bill in chancery ; 2dly, the proceeding for the contempt ; and 3dly, the action of trespass all of which were ready for trial at the late (September) term. The Court pronounced a decree for the restoration of the identical Si 00,000 which had been seized, with interest upon the specie part of it from the time of seizure until payment ; and granted a perpetual injunction against the collection of any tax in future under the act of Ohio. By an arrangement between the respective counsel, the attachment for contempt was dismissed at the costs of the defendants, and the action of trespass to be continued until the decision of the Supreme Court is also to be dismissed at the defendants costs, in the event of the affirmation of the decree of the Circuit Court. The Treasurer refused to comply with that de cree, and an attachment for a contempt was issued against him, and he was com mitted to prison. He still refused ; where upon the Court, upon the motion of the counsel of the Bank, awarded a writ of sequestration, by which the commission ers appointed in it were empowered to seize his whole estate, real and personal, and the identical g 100,000 seized, where soever the same might be found, and to sequester the whole, subject to the future order of the Court. In virtue of this writ of sequestration, the commissioners named in it took the key of the Treasury from the Treasurer, entered the Treas ury, and took thereout S9S,000, the only part of the sum levied remaining, the other g2000 having been retained by the ofiicer making the collection for his com mission. The defendants appealed from the decree to the Supreme Court, which, by consent, was made to operate as a su persedeas upon the S2000, the interest, and the costs of the suit in chancerv ; and tfi Trndiirr xvn thrnnnn flisrhnrol r & 11 uiii i.ii.iiju v . No violence, no opposition, no forcib! resistance, was offered to the execution of the writ of sequestration ; and, if the original seizure of the money is to be re gretted, it is highly consoling to have wit nessed the silent but irresistible energy of the law, when that law was declared bv the Constitutional organ. The execu tion of the process of the Court, without impediment or disturbance, is creditable to the people of Ohio, and to the popula tion of Columbus in particular. J hus, the very circumstances which seemed at first to threaten the peace and quiet of the Union, and to weaken the authority of the government, terminates in evin cing its strength, and iu communicating to it new vigor. .MARRIED, At the house of Daniel Brown, Esq. in Burke county, on the 18th ultimo, by the Rev.

He had been on to the Catawba Springs, for the benefit of his health, and had got thus far on his return home, when increasing debility compelled him to stop. During- his ill ness he received every assistance which hospi- jtality and sympathy could bestow; and bis re- mains were followed to the grave by a mere nu merous procession, perhaps, than was ever wit nessed in Salisbury on a similar occasion.

He has given you a statement that would be sufficient if it were correct ; but it dif fers so far from facts, that 1 feel it my duty to give the public a correct statement one that I shall be able to prove, if called upon. Sometime in May last, my wife being sick, I sent for Dr. Schools ; he being absent, I left di rections for him to come r.nd see my wife ; which he did. The first thing he gave her was a dose of what he called ipecacuanha and when ho went away he left a small paper of what he about a i lb. of what he called salts, and two - small vials what he said thev contained 1 do not : recollect; with directions to take the cooling ' r,-,Wc ,l nfW i Jmrt ti.np tnt-iL-,- nntnhlf : G - ; . .

Tli at the public mav be more satisfied with the statement, I would ask the doctor a few Did vou not leave what vou called salts ? Did vou not take the same away with the two vials from mv house ? If vou did not leave ; them, why did you take them away ? Or was it because vou said, that anv medicine that was left vou would take back a-ain ?
