The A mcrican CoosuJ and Captain 5l'Call, of the Peacock, demand her restoration to her owners, and an explanation; .but the commandant refused even to answer their notes; and when Captain Ross ask ed the reasons for these violent proceed ings, he said it was his will, audhis bay onets were' the executioners of that will."

"A 'circumstance orenrred in the Senate on Wednesday last, which demonstrated most tonch Jnrriv the rrenerous- feelings of that bo- dy.towards the lingering survivers of our revolutionary array, a .iime- wbrn veteran, who li ad been waiting uoon Conctress for some months, bad seated himself upon a sofa in the rear of the senators, and the hour Tor com mencing upon the orders of tlic day had arrived, when Mr. McKinley, of Alabama, begged the v indulgence of the Senate for a few moments mere Iv, for the consideration of a subject of interest, which he said might be des patched without delay.' The mem bers generally maaifested some impa tience to proceed upon the regular business of the day. "Look," said Mr. McKinley "upon that ven erable officer ofthcrevolutionary army. He was a Captain in the cpntinental line was taken prisoner by the for tune of war carried captive to England and, after countless hardship was restored to his native land. His claim has already been acknowledged by the other house; and he is only waiting the decision of this body for the con summation of his hopes. At this late ho u r of his life at the. age of 80, every day is to him a period of importance I beg therefore that the Senate may waive for a few moments, the consider ation of other business." The efTect of this brief appeal was electric almost every member responded or mani fested an amen: and the bill in behalf of the old soldier passed instantane ously tliyough its several stages, .with out a dissenting voice. The war bro ken patriot showed upon his counte nance feeling .of happy gratification, and went his wqy rejoicin rr The Nev. bern Spectator, after giving an acouat of the proceedings of Craven Supe rior Court, says: We canuot tiPcI06 tins hasty anil imperfect sketch,, without paying a pas sing tribute, to the talent and impo sing dignity with which Judge Strange invests the Judicial character, whilst in the exercise of his functions.

I f we look a roan d within the circle of our acquaintance, avc shall find that many 6f our most respected citizens are mechanics. Several of the first merchants in- this city were once mechauics, many of our professional men were in youth me chanics, j Several of Our most, distin goished legislators, philosophers and statesmen were also once mechanics. How did they' rise to their present eminence? It was by the cultivation of their mithds in useful knowledge, by feeling a proper respect for themselves which led them to formregular, indus trious and frugal habits, and thus have they secured the respect and confi dence of their emplo"ers, and risen to the affluence and respectability which j thev now eniov. The same path of! honour and , usefulness is opened to ( every perron in our nappy repuolic; j and we hope that these examples will stimulate every mechanic among us to imitate theses examples, that they may become, as they deserve, respect ed, for their worth and usefulness.. jV. .
