He is a native of the adjoining county of Sampson, the youngest living son of the late (lov.

The writer says;— “Secession has given an electric shock to every one of the of spindles in Lancashire. The spin ners are roused as nothing else would have roused them. Secession is likely to have advanced cotton growing in other countries half a century. The Cabinet of London acts in unison witli the conventions of Manchester to expeiiite the growing and iniportation of cotton from .-Vsia. Africa, .\ustralia, and the islands of the sea. The vast citangos rapidly making in the late East India Cotuiiauy's possessions, the impulse which secession gives to the con.!fruction of railways and works of irri- g.aiion in India—the fact that in some countries the cotton pl.ant is imiigenwus and of a superior fibre to that of sea island, that it can be grown in .\frica at a profit at the selling price of three or four cents a pound— >r I '• ■ Jl'iip -ait tbt plainly directed.

Singular Developments.— The Murderess of trco llus ■ land*.—The Milwaukie Sentinel says it is believed from recent developments that Ann K. Bilausky, who was executed at St Paul. Minnesota, for the murder of her husband by administering arsenic, was the same per son who on the 8th of November, 184i). poisoned .\lex L> Simpson, her husband, in the town of Fayetteville. N. O in that case arsenic was the agent employed, and after the death of Simpson, his wire was arre-tel, but succeeded in escaping to Charleston, and iheuce to Havana, where she remained uulil .May. Ib'm. She re tiirntd to Fayetteville on the TtU of November follow ing. surreudering herself for trial and was acquitted. On ttie trial of .Mrs. Bilansky at St. Paul, she stated ihat she had resided at Fayeiteville, N. t'., where hor husband died. The Christian name.s of the two women were identical, and many circumstances in St. Paul sub- seijuent to her execution, have been called to miu f wtiich tend to the belief that she and Mrs. Simpsc’! Wfre the same persons. 1 here are •'owe inaccuracies in the above namo--. .Mr. Simpson s name was .\.lex r. C., iu.-tead of Alex'r D., and his wife's name Ann A'., instead of .\nn K. It was reported here, some years ago, that Mrs. Simpsou. after m.arryitig a Mr. Young at Charleston, and hi~ le:»th, had died. We hesitated to copy the above from the news items in the Baltimore American, until we learne.l -ijuie circumstances that seem to be confirma tory The execution took place several months ago— perhaps about a year. LoNiiEviTT.—Sela, a negro womau belonging to Mr-». ; Jane Gathings, of Union connty, N. C.. died on the I'Jih ult.. aged 110 years. She was a grown woman in the Revolutionary war, and had three children when imle- ' pendence was declared. She enj >yed remarkably good health and retained the faculties of her mind up to the | timwofher death. Her conversation was interesting and instructive. She wa« a consistent member of the l!apti't Church, and died in the triumphs of the chris- ; tian faith. i aration. It is reported that the Government has ordered one or more Artillery Companies from the North to strengthen the defensive forces at Washington City. Richmond, April "9.—The Southern mail train to-day did not connect at .icquia Creek, and the Virginia Com missioners were compelleil to return. They will fake the Central train in the morning. The Fredericksburg train will leave as usual to-morrow morning, but the Commissioners will not ruu the risk of failing to have an interview with Old Abe to-morrow afternoon. Cor. I'etenburg Express. Deserted to the South.—It is stated that twenty of the rank and file of the army left Washington on Thursday for Montgomery, for the purpose of enlisting in the Southern army. These desertions make an aggregate of two hundred and eighty army recruits for the South* ern Government from the federal capital sinoe they have been stationed there by Oen. Scott. [A large story.] Washington Items.—It is believed that Major Anderson was ordered to leave with the remainder of his cointuand, in the usual way of detailing officers and men to different posts. But General Ueauregard wa.s nut ^willing to have'a Government steamer come into Charleston harbor and take away his “enemy." He wanted a “surrender” of the fort. Many think that there is danger that Washing* ton may be seized, but active precautions have been taken to prevent a coup d’efat. Scouting parties are quietly out to give notice of the move ment of any considerable body of men towards the metropolis; and although the garrison was some what weakened by the transfer of troops to New York, others have been detailed to take their places. Col. J)riukard, who was Floyd’s chief clerk, with other prominent discharged officials, are still about here, evidently hoping for something to “turn up,” by which they can be rein.'^tated in power. They little know how well their move ments are known, and how their little game is so effectually “checked,” that they may be regarded as “played out." “There are noSabbaths in revolutionary times,” and the members of the Cabinet were summoned to the J*resident’s council board this moruing. Kvery train of cars brings special contidential messengers, who are the only means of communi cation which the President will tru't, and the Administration is well informed of all that trans pires, eithe’’ in New York or in Virginia, at Pen sacola or at Charleston. Yesterday two officers, who had been ordered to embark on the expedition at New York, waited on General Cameron, and requested to be inform ed what was the object of the movement, and whether it was intended to operate against the seceded States. With the utmost coolne&s, the Secretary of War replied: “Give me your commis- sijnsj you are dismissed from the service from I o’clock. Town papers please copy.

The danger is one which them were at the bottom of it.j .Among the alarming items telegraphed to the Express are tlie following: — • The mis!«ion of the twenty-five oarpenfers at five dol lar" per day, all single men, sworn to secresy, each man armed with a hatchet and a saw, creates much discus- »i'pn.

These fads, and tlie notorious forward movements towards Pen>acola, are sure indications of an approaching collision. “The Commissioners have telegraphed to Jefferson Davis “to prepare for war.” The answer they received was. “we are all ready; let it comel ’ “Four Dahlgren boat howitzers were sent from Wash ington to New York last night, which confirms the be lief that the troops are expected to effect an armed landing. ••The Departments of War and Navy are alive wjth the proceedings necessarily antecedent to great un- (Jortakings by sea or by land.

The Destination of the TroopA.—It is general ly believed here to-night, that the greater portion of the armament of troops and supplies fitted out at New-York is destined for T«xa.s. The howit- rers, horses and Flying Artillery are of no avail able service except on land, and there is no point at the South except Texas, where they could be advantageously employed. The Flying Artillery would be sent to none of the Gulf Forts, where only simple artillerists, accustomed :o manage heavy sea-coast guns, would be ordered. The mounted tioops will go to Texas to replace the torce now there, demoralized by Twiggs’ treason. Gov. IJoutton's Jiequeitt.—The rumor finds credence that (jov. Houston, who is the onlv Gov ernor of Texas recognized by the Federal Govt^rn- ment, recently sent a confidential friend here to request either that the present troops be maintain ed in Texas or new ones sent. The alleged fact that one ot the transport steamers at New York is fitted out with stalls for horses and provisions ill the hold, indicates tliat her mission is to bring home the mounted tnwps now in Te.xas. Gov. Houston’s request for troops is based upon the ne cessity tor protecting the frontier from the Indians. The Convention.—The majority report of the ('ommittee was resumed yesterday. The 10th re.solution was amended on motion of Mr. Wise so as to express the arsent of Virginia to the re- cognitioji of the Independence of the Confederate States.
