We understand that on to-morrow night (Wednes day) there will be a meeting at the Capitol of the Whig Members of Assembly, with open doors, for the purpose of adopting such Resolutions in relation to our great leader, Mr. Clav, and his recent defeat, a. may appear to the meeting suitable and proper. As there will be, doubtless, some fine .peaking on tho occasion, wn hopo there will be a general attendance, not only of Whig gentlemen, but of Whig ladies also. There is nothing makes a man so eloquent, as the rustling of Silks and Ribands. SHERIFF'S SALES. We endeavored two years ago, to draw the atten tion of the Members of the Legislature to the present very insufficient method of notification to the public, in case, of Execution Sales. The written notices at the Court House door, which the law requires, do little, if any good. Sacrifices of property are continually made, for the want of proper publication. Why is it, that so little care is taken of the interest of the unfor tunate debtor? Who does not soc instance. Con stantly occurring, where his property is sold under the hammer of the Sheriff, and perhaps not half a dozen persons present. Not oiie-teiitlrpaff of the citizens of the County, in which the sale occurs, know that any such mile is to take place. Now, why is this ? Because the -Sheriff,' instead of advertising the Sale in a convenient newspaper, is permitted to stick up a little notice at the Court' House door, which just as probable as not, tht first rain washes down. There are many months in the year, during the tending and gathering of Crop., when but few persons visit tl o County town. How then can it be expected that property, sold under such circumstances, will bring a fair price ? Many an unfortunate individual is totally ruined by ueh a publication of the sale of his property. There is no one, whose property is to be thus sold, but would much prefer to pay a few dollurs'and have the sal. tli us made extensively public through tfte columns of a new-paper, than have his property sacrificed for ono half, and in many instances, for one tenth of it. value. a President and five Directors. hereupon, a balloting took place, Geo. W. Mor- A. B. iStith, Esq. 31. Mr.-Mordecai was declared duly elected President ; and E. W. Wilkins, having receiv ed 1171 votes, J. S. Eaton 1165, Patrick Hamilton 1101, Kiiffin Tucker 711), A. Ii.

On motion of Duncan Cameron, Esq. the follow ing Resolution was unanimously adopted: Rr noire J, That the Stockholders of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Hood Company, entertain a deep sense of the ability mid fidelity with which the du ties of President of said Company have been per formed by Gen.

It was transmitted to ns, through the Post Office, and in giving it an insertion, we thought we were aiding the cause of humanity and bencvulence- We aro inclined to the opinion, however, from circumstances communioated to us, that the Prospectus is a hoax, afid that if a Search warrant were issued for Messrs. rAi.KER & Co. the return of the Officer would be " Not to be found."

A Letter writer from Washington says " The Democrat, begin to entertain strong hopes that Mr. Berriem, of Georgia, will find himself so situated, a to be compelled to resign." No doubt, the Locos thiuk because Georgia went against the Whigs, that Mr. Berrirv should resign, and because North Caro lina went or them, Mr.' Haywood ought to hold on.

A THRILLING INCIDENT, An incident occured on the Point, near B.il. tnnoro, a few days ago, which crealfd the most intense interest in the feelings nf all who .aw it. A gentleman was passing; from Jackson's wharf to a Wharf on the other side, across a narrow plank having by the Land a small buy, who wa carrying a basket. In passing the fence dividing the wharves, the basket struck against it, the parlies were thrown off their balance and fell in to the water. The violence of the fall broke the hold which the gentleman had of the child. At this moment a colored man jumped into the dock, and seized the child, but was unable to bring him to land. The mate of the Hellespont, which was lying near, by this time reached the spot, and, jumping into the water, caught hold of, and sus tained the colored man, wli, in the meantime, had kept bold of the child. During this time, the gentleman who had fallen over with the child had seized upon the floating spar, hut as it kept tin n ing he could not manage lo get nut by ' it very easily : and, it being covered with liarrriclcs, hi. hands and face were much lacerated !iv them While'the parlies were thus c-iluated,a young man . mate of a schooner at the same wharf, reached the spot, and seizing the child, drew him lo the wharf. The other parties were then enabled to reach the wharf also the mate of the Hellespont aiding the negro, and the other party being h ually enabled to get up by the aid of the spar he had caught hold ot 1 he hie of the child was noarlv gone when he was got upon the wharf, but by the use ol proper remedies he was re.tored.

A PORTRAIT. Blair of the Globe, who, except Amos Kendall, is .aid to be the ugliest man in the United State, draws tlie following portrait of Mr. Webster : " Mr. Webster is in every way fitted to act the part of Satan. He is alike diabolical in his sentiments, and in his personal appearance. ' Hi. immensely heavy. snaggy orow, anu i.n iruw.i nut ueep-eealea, gloomy eye, with its horrid glare his sooty, sulphur-tinctured skin f-his grim and ghastly smile, which" shows a set of white, .hark shaped teeth, giving his aspect, thus lighted up. a dreadful grin of fiendish pleasure made up the look of the arch fiend at the federal Pandemonium, when he announced the defeat of Clay his hated rival." Tlie Alexandria Gaxelte well rays, that this para graph require, no comment, and would be read only with scorn and indignation by .very American, of every party, were net these feeling, entirely altered, and the tragic turned into a complete farce, when it is recollected that the author of this .ketch of Daniel Webster's uglineaa is Francis P. Blair? fiunim teneati atttiei .' " ID" The MtTnoDiBT CorERExcE of this State, meets Co-morrow at Pittsboro', Chatham County. Mb. CLAY. We have a private letter, say. the N. V. Tri bune of Tuesday, from an eminent friend in Ken tucky, stating some facts which Mr. Clay's friends win hear with profound interest, and we there, fore extract a few passages : Lexinoto.n Ky. Nov. 19,1311. "Last evening I-visited Mr: Clay at Ashland, and passed some hours with him, talk ing over the event;, of tli.j last few months, and the prospects ahead. I found him alone calm and self poised. He seemed to forgot himself and to be anxious alone for the country and his friends, whese fidelity and devotion, he observed, he should never cease to cherish as above all' earthly price. The various combinations against him the infamous frauds in presenting the Ta riff Question to Pennsylvania, &.c the atrocious calumnies on his private character were all al luded '.ci, and I stated some facts coming under my own observation giving yet a darker shade lo the picture of the malignity with wlm h our great Statesman has been hunted down. ".Wr. ' Clay will never again rttvrn to public life." His career as a Statesman is ended. Themeas. ure of his fame is complete. His life will one dav be written by an impartial pen, and while the calumnies bv which he has been defeated in his last appeal for justice from his contemporaries will sink into oblivion, every page of our Country's recent history will be illuminated by his great deeds and glowing patriotism."

THE NEW HOTEL. This building, after much debate between "St. -Marys, I'.uropa, and other names, is at last cnriKien.iu mo JNew York Hotel." They have goHe through the wood, and brought a crooked stick at last, for a more ufipoetical name could hardly be found. The Hotel itself," however, is probably the niost rerhrtchc affair of the sort in the world. Tho building is built of brick, six stories high : it occupies an entire square of two hundred feet on Bronduny, and extends one, hundred and twenty feet ou Waverly place. The first or basement story is devoted to stores, offices for the business of (be Hotel, rending rooms, &c. The main eidrnne., I. in Hroadwny ; from the inatble floor of this hall you ascend by a double stairway to the second door; all below this is plain, sulwlnntial, and comfortable; but this entire story is a scene of magnificence hitherto unknown in Hotels it includes tho dining-room, three Indies' public drawing rooms, and suites of rooms consisting of three each, a bed, dressing, and drawing-room. The dining-room Is ninety feet long, forty feet wide, and twenty-one high ; the hangings are silk damask, the chairs covered wflh figured vel vet, and from the ceiling three ciit-glass chandelier. are suspended. The public and private parlors of this entile floor, arc furnished with rosewood fur-' niture, a la Linus quatorxe, carved, and covered will, .ilk damask, the floors are covered with Wilton car pels, the hanging of silk damask, the mirrors of the largest class, and framed in ornamentul gilt work of , the most eliiborale description ; from the centre of each ceiling hangs a chandelier of cut. glass, in which ga. is burned as it is in every room through out the house-. These sets of rooms will accommo date one, two, or three persons, and are rented at thirty dollurs per week. The rooms in all the sto ries are divided in sets of three, the quality of the , furniture and price gradually decreasing as you as- I cend ; and in the tipper story they am six dollars i per week, to which is added an extra charge of six j dollars per Wi-ek for meals at the tnlile d'hote, or they Clin lie had ut the reitnurnt at all hours, or ,1 in the private rooms, or not at alt if the occupants ' prefer it. The house contains sixty sets of rooms, i and thirty single ones, and will accommodate some I two hundred and fifty persons'. From seventy to I eighty servants ure required for it. The, furniture cost $40,0(10, and the whole value of the establish- j intuit, including furniture, building, and ground, I little short of half a million. There has been quite a rush for rooms, aud it is now wholly engaged nx'-. cept a few of the upper apartments. The cslab- I lisbii.eut is well worth examining out of curiosity, j and it is a display of magnificence and-'good laste , rarely equalled. Yours, truly, r. ( .

FIENDISH ACT. A black girl, about 17 years of age, committed one of the most brutal acta lately in Richmond, Va. of which we ever heard. She was in the at tic story of the house where she lived, with the children of the Jamily, and in revenge for some playful teasing by a little girl, seized and threw her over the stair banisters, from which she fell to the basement, a distance of four stories, break ing her thigh, and otherwise seriously it nut fa taly injuring bar. Tbe child upon recovering her sense., stated lite fact. The servant ini mediately fled, but will no doubt be secured. for tiik KK'.isrrri. Ma. EniToa: The writer of this communication is mi known to you, and may possibly so remain during life, but ho has. in common with yourself an ardent desire for the prosperity of North Carolina. In fact, I wish to emigrate to your State, (and I might myself and others, influenced by my counsel, bring half a million of dollar, into the State,) and am wait ing for the finishing of mire Internal Improvements, and for the development of more of the conveniences and comfort, of living. Our northern towns are hill ol conveniences and comforts" we do business over paved streets., anil ride out on beautiful turnpikes ; our house, are .built of brick, and Churches and other pub lic structure, are erected at great expense in order to ornament the towns. In the State, north of your State, I can find many like myself waiting to emigrate to North Carolina; and indeed for five year the tide of immigration to this State has been .lowly advancing in force. But there i. wanting Mill more extension of railroad conveniences ad facilities for doing busi nesa; and more turnpikes; and better road, and bridge, in general ; and 'he abolishment of wooden dwelling, in your townsvvith more paving of street, and footwavs. and a greater expense in ornamenting tha towns with beautiful public buildings. AU these matter., I assure you, and indeed you well know it, are of essential importance to bring population, and business, and capital into North Carolina. The prop er spirit for your inhabitants is, to go to work, and to 205 Ma. unci llolebrooks 140 :Culpepper Lee 55 Robert li Milt, r Hi:) I Francis Miller 150 jPcler Dry 20 Catharine Barnlm.t 7 R.iliert Duywott fi Vt illinm Moore 100 Henry lloiiso 6HJ Ma.hias Climi 1011 John J uifirr 225 jUeverlv Gray 120 ,F M Wallace 310 Jane Gray :I82 (John Keed, Jr 2191 John Gannon's Estul. 1-39 lames Mr.KjrrtfTan 1 lol Ehslia It tlsr n hart (tn or near what WMler course.
