FUNERAL SOLEMNITIES.
The Ful nil Service, in hnorof tli. memory of
Gen. jACMONvk Programme wWli limtfCn here
tofore publwhed iu Oris paper, took place on Saturday
Jat. and were carried through, accofdiug to arrange
ment, with the greatest order and propriety, There
was a Urge number of persons in attendance from the
country, and citizens of alt parties united in the Pro
censioa. Minute Guns were fired, the Dells of the
City were tolled, tmd placee-of business closed, while
the Procession was in motion. The Presbyterian
Church, where the, Eulogy was delivered, Wiis hung
ill sables throughout its-entire extent, and presented
a solemn and mournful Appearance. Indeed, the
'hole Pageant was of a very impuing character.
The Eulogy by Di'NCan K. .Macrae, Esq., it gives
us pleasure to stave, 'as in the best possible taste.
Wo were fully prepared to her, as we did .hear, a
chaste and eloqueitt Oration, delivered with, anima '
tiqn Bd spir-if, "birt-we were agreeably disappointed
to find it so totally divested of party, feeling.'to per
fectly free from ftlusiou to party topics and pulitif al
prejudices. It was a' most capital Speech, and no
Whig, we think, could bjectlo it ; white his political
friends gitve evidencc'fey thuir rapturous applause,
that they were delighted with the effort.

THE SU6 TREASURY.
Messrs. Dobbin, Fishes, and Braus, Loco Foco
Candirfates for Congress, have, with more boldness
than prudence, declared themselves favorable' to Mr.
Van BoacVa odious and exploded scheme for regu
lating the financial concerns of the Government,
known s the Sot) Treasury !
The chief feature of this scheme, as originally
propose, it will be recollected, was the collection
of the Revenue in hard money only. If again re
vived, the object will stilf be the same' vii : to
make this a hard money Government, and to plaoo
it as far as possible, above the iutlu'enca of the States
and the people. Ami to carry out this end, the Ad
ministration would scoif at the reserved rights of the
INTERESTING REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.

On examination, it was found that only 15U7 Shares
of Stock were represented, which, not being a major
ity ef the whole number of Shares, the meeting could
not regularly organize.

But Democraet is surely-sflposed to the Tariff
o think the hOnesfAunsospecting portion of the
party iu North Carolina. Bn Mr. Buchanan, now
Secretary of Slate, voted for the present Tariff, and-
wil brist up with 'unCompronrbing hostility" upon
any proposition taduce duties on Pennsylvania
Iron or "Coal. We yfll say nothing here of the Pre
sident's Kane Leer. Yet the people are htsqlted
by being told, that the only way to get rid of the
oppressive duty (aa.it is called) on their Plough and
Ae Iran, is tolsct- Members of Congress, te sus
tain this Democratic Administration. Have faith,
'though all experience be against it '
n ion" among the several States, and to act as the
Representative of the whole. This Sub Treasury
scheme proposes, at a single blow, to reverse the
order of uffaire ; to divest the States of their legiti
mate powers, and bind llieni down to the will of
Congress and the Executive. It would make the
limited Government at Washington, a mighly con
centration of power; it would send pampered office
holders into the States, twcoff at their Banking In
stitutions, and to drain tht m of their coin.
But lure at home in North Carolina, particular
ly is the effect of this Sub Treasury scheme upon
our Gauks to be deprecated. I'lom the period of
their creation, the Hanks of North Carolina have
been identified with tho liberal and beneficent insti
tutions of the State. A large portion of their Cap
ital Stock is owned by the President and Directors
of the Literary Fund, set apart for the purpose -of
establishing Common Schools, to carry the blessings
of Education, with a liberal and generous hand, to
the riVor of every citizen. How have those, en
trusted-With the management of our Hanks, dis
charged fire trusts confided to them? Who will
dare to utter a complaint against their fidelity and
jeal fet the interests of the State? The amount
which they annually pay the Stale in theshapv of
Dividends, to say nothing of their reserved profits,
is enormous, and though repeatedly made public, ia
not even yet sufficiently known. Our Banks are,
in short, primary and efficient adjuncts in develop
ing and sustaining the prosperity of our people.
And will our citizens suffer themselves to he made
active instruments in destroying those Institutions
for just asvfnrely as the Sub Treasdry ever goes
into ejerationbey will go down, down !
Tree-men 'J'of lhT orlh CaroH'n-l--Jlco!lect that ia
opposing this tWfarious scheme, you aw fighting-
against encroachments by the General Government
upon the legislative powers xf your State you are
defeating a cabal, that would prostrate Our State
sovereignty at the footstool of Federal power, and
assume to itself the authority ot controlling our do
mestic- institutions. But setting all this aside, we
challenge any body lo skovv' that this thrice-defeated
project will answer the purposes of the Govern
ment in its management of the Revenue. Under
such a system, the public money must always he
unsafe ; and every day's experience shows us that
more secure in the vaults of wclUiegulated
Banks, than it. possibly can be in the pockets of
Sub Treasurers. But it is useless to urge argu
ments. A sufficient objection- to it, with all rea
sonable men, is that its establishment is proposed
by a party, whose whole course justilVs us in as
serting,-that all their..finincio schemes are but mer
cenary efforts to obtain political power. Let it come
from what source it might, such a scheme idiould be
distrusted. Coming from the supporters rf those in
power, every Patriot should lend inaard in defeat
ing it.

Bj" On the 4th.July, a fatal exploiion of a can
non took place at Ilhaca, iu the State of New York,
by which three persons were almost instantly killed.
Of 'this calamity we condense the subjoined account
from the Ithaca Journal :
AhniittJibiVioek tilt morning, the cannon was
drawn to the Iiruw of .Uie lull east uf the yUlage, to
be fired diirjrtjr the marching of rlie procession to the
place of healing the oration. Gen. Boyd, an active
young officer, was despatched by llie .Marshal to ex
ecute an order lo the goliners, and seeing' they-were
about to fire he disnilrulited, and was standing lean
ing with his right arm. Upon his horse. Thoie was
some little delay iu tiring, owing to some difficulty
with the match, and all eyes were turned to the
handsome and noble figure uf the young General,
when a tremendous explosion was heaid, and the
promising officer was launched into eternity iu the'
prune and vigor of manhood, and his body was
stretched horribly mangled across the l;tdy of his
fallen steed, which Uad been stunned by a fragment
of the gun. A piece Weighing about thirty, pounds
struck the General in the left breast -and caused in
stsiit death. In another direction stood a collection
of men, through the midst of whom another frag
ment sped, charged with death, and selected as its
victims two valuable citizens, Professor S. tiuimby
and John Nix., Esq. Mr. N. was killed almost in
stantly, being struck in Iho gro.a, the pifce tearing
the parts i that region aud laying hw bovfels en
tirely open. Professor (J. wastakeu to the bouse of
jilt. Devanpert, when he fainted. He expired in
great agony about 5 V. M. This sad eveut lias cast
a gloom over our village, and the rejoicings of the
day were greatly checked by the occurrence of this
unexpected catastrophe."

GROWTH OF COTTON IN N. CAROLINA.
Hunt's Merchants' MsgaiiiiRstor Oct- 1811, had
the following statement, wlncfi is remarkable for
that usually correct periodical :
" As relates lo the relative diminution in the quan
tity of cotlan produced iu one section as it increas
ed in the other, the faot is quite striking that in llie
Slate of North Carolina, during the last len years,
there was no increase of the slave population, and
the preductiou of cotton fell from 7,000 lo i!4,000
bales."
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier corrects
the error as follows:
" Your cocrespondent. J. N. C. is probably mistaken
in supposing that the crop of cotton in North Caroli
na has declined from 75,OLt) te 4,04D hales. So
large a portion of the crop of that Slate is sent to
the markets of South Clarolina aud Virgiuia for sales,
that but a small proportion of il is exported from lie
own ports, and as il is slopped from those pons chief
ly lo New York, no chrrsct statement is probably ob
tained. The principal cause, however, of the appa
rent diminution of late yeses is, that some twenty
mills are iu oieraiion in llie State of North Caroli
na, which corrsame proUilly from 15 to 20,UO'J bales,
and these do not appeal1 efen Tn the annual statement
of the crop aud coiisuuitroii of the bulled Mates.

tremendous report, tearing into Iragiunnte her
boiler dm k, and r somas far alt us the w lire I house
on llie larboard side, and throw ing her chimney
info the river, and blowing into the air the boilers
and every thing above them, and killing anil woun
ding between thirty and foriy of I lit) passengers
aud crew. Immediately ulii r the explosion, the
boat sunk to her guards at the how. and over the
Moor ol the. ladies' culnn at the elern.
At iho moment of the explosion, Cipiain Tiirpin
had just given the .woij to go. ahead, and was
walking aft on lite hurricane deck to ace lint her
stern was clear, when idler one or two re
vdations of the wheels lie w as tlirjnvn about I()
and fell on tho duck about llie

air, and fell upon tho deck of the .Sieiimer Yazoo
Ctlij, lying alongside, at llie Leve-c, dislocating
one of Jus hip loin's.
The number ol persons standing oti the l.nilrr
deck, is variously estimated at from Id tu 15, a
inung whom were several cabin passeigerswih,.y
were al) blown to thu height of 150 or 200 feet
in the air, some with their limbs' rent asunder,
and all of thcin falling iuio lie- river, without ex

acertain, between 'i and 30. The scene pre
sented on the lower deck was of the rnosl heart,

With a head seveied from it ; another wuh bo'hof
llie legs torn off ifliove llie knees; ro.i(e with
