FATAL RENCONTRE.
A hostile meeting took place on Wednesday last,

lon occupied by both parties, the greatest excite-
nent prevails in Virginia in regard ( so painful and
fatal an occurrence. We presume that the papers will

Mr. Ritcuik is stated to have left Virginia.
MISSION TO SPAIN. .
Gen. R. M. Saondexs, of this City, we learn by

In-wtse, uiAwMtobegi- " '""nfoco The Gen'I-
I deserved it at the hands of the President, and it would
have been most ungrateful not to have conferred the
appointment upon him.
DEAF AND DUMB.
We are gratified to learn that Beaufort County
Court, at its late Term, levied a tax for the educa
tion of this unfortunate Class in that County. So
did Johnston County, also.
SMALL POX.
Cases of this loathsome disease have appeared
both at Wilmington and' Washington, in this State,
spreading alarm throughout the Country. The Com
missioners of Greeneville, Pitt County, and ofTar-
Iboro', have interdicted all communication with Wash
ington for the lime being. The "Wilmington Cbroni-
Icle" states that there have been two cases in that
place, but that precautions have been taken to pre
vent the spread of the contagion.
IMPORTANT DECISION.
The " Wilmington Chronicle" notices a recent de
cision of the Supreme Court of this Slate, via : hi the
ease of McRoe v. WesieU It states that by an Act
of the Legislature passed in 1800 all who may apply
to the County Court for .a licence to retail spirituous
liquors in Wilmington shall first obtain from the Com
missioners of the Town, their permission to take out
itch licence (as in Raleigh,) any individual who shall
obtain from the Court a licence without their permis
t sion, being made liable to a peually of fifty dollars.
i Wrtwl, the Defendant in this case, had a licence
granted him by the Court, after the Commissioners
bad refused him the pro-requisite permission, and
proceeding to retail spirituous liquors under it, the
Commissioners, in the name of McRae, at the time
Magistrate of Police, brought suit for the penalty ,-and
the case having passed through the Courts below has
been determined by the Supreme tribunal, establish
ing the principle that the County Court bas no right
to grant licence forthe town of Wilmington, uuless
the Commissioners have assented U K. '
' INCENDIARY ATTEMPTS.

Burnt, near Newborn, was totally destroyed by fire
a Saturday night, the 90th ult. There is no doubt

And on the Monday following, in Newbern, an un
successful attempt was made to fire the Stables of
Mr. Gxoaaa F, Mobjuqay, Proprietor of the "New

There are great scoundrels about, and the com
munity, every where, should be on the alert.

sentiment that be would be Called hence ou bis birth

it ever I shall be numbered with lbs dead." Thai
remark proved to be prophetical, for during the area

INTERESTING EXHIBITION.
There was a crowded sudUory of both sexes at the
Presbyterian Cborch, on Thursday' morning bet, to
witness the first Public Etamiotlen,bf the Pupils
attached to the Deaf and. Dumb School in this City.
The Institution has now beeu in operation about ten
months, under tlie superintendence of Mr. William
0. Coosa, and the rapid proficiency of the Pupils
(seventeen In number) attests most einphatically.Hie
peculiar qualifications of the Principal, and his As
sistants, Messrs. Torrp and Albsioht, for the du
ties of their station.
Three classes were examined one by each of the
Teachers illustrating in a most satisfactory aud
gratifying manner, the process which has been made
during the Academical year. It was wonderful,
most wonderful, to witness the correctness of the
Spelling,' the "excellence or th Writing, and the
knowledge of Grammar, which even the most re
cent Pupils displayed. The Teacher would make
a few signs to the Class, and, in an instaut, on each
slate was written the required answer to his question
Indeed, all their replies evinced intelligence, and not
mere school-room drilling for the purposes of exhibi
tion. We were particularly struck with the evidence
which was afforded of their advance in Religious in
struction. Let it be recollected that, a" few months
ago, they had no ides of God, or his attributes. The
Bible was to them, indeed, a sealedbDk. Mr.
Cooks asked them a variety of questions, for the pur
pose of showing the care that is taken to conduct
them to a correct knowledge of the sacred Scriptures
and the result of these efFurts. We took down one
or two answers, which struck us with peculiar force.
In answer to the question " Does God know your
thoughts?" was written " God knows all I think,
all I say, all I do." " Where is God," was another
question asked ? And, the answer was " God is in
Heaven he is here he is every where." " How
does God produce the fruits of the earth V Was then
asked, and the answer was" He causeth the rain
to descend upon the just and the unjust." In short,
there was the most satisfactory evidence of the fact,
that the Institution has fulfilled, and is now fulfilling,
its obligations to the State, and that its management
is conducted upon a most admirable system.
The closing scene, was one that drew tears from
the eyes of many. Mr. Cooks, the Principal, re
cited a Prayer in the language of signs. The in
telligence of man, with all its conventional rules for
opening the springs of thought, sinks into insignifi
cance, when contrasted with the pure and simple
eloquence of silent nature. Never was prayer ut
tered by man with mere thrilling force, or more con
vincing eloquence, than by the silent language em
ployed on this occasion. VVs confess that our sensi
bilities were roused, and deeply affected by this re
markable and soul-stiring Prayer.
At the close of the Exercises, His Excellency, Gov.
Gsaham, who is President, ex officio, of tlje Li'ererv
Board (under whose charge this Institution ) and
who has taken a deep interest in the subject, de
livered the following neat Address, which we trust,
will have the effect of more fully awakening public
attention to this noble enterprize :
"The close of the first Academic lemi of this infant
Institution, is deemed a favorable occasion, for endea
voring to disseminate a more general knowledge of its
objects, and of the success with which they have been
presecuted thuB far, than has heretofore obtained in the
community, and in the State. Its endowment by
the General Assembly at their last Session, with the
progress which has been made, in carrying their be
neficent design into execution, is destined to be re
garded as an era in our educational history.
"Founded in public charity, and mainly intended for
the benefit of the poor and destitute, Its first object is
to instruct these : to fit them for moral, social and in
tellectual enjoyment, and to enable them to earn a
subsistence in household employments, in the Me
chanic Arts, or in Agriculture. But those more, fa
vored by fortune are not excluded. At their own ex
pense, the same opportunities of improvement are
freely offered to them. And although exempted from
the necessity of labor for their support, education
would seem to be still more necessary to relieve them
from " vacuity of thought," (almost as fatal to the
mental constitution, as a vacuum in the atmosphere
to the physical,) to furnish them the mean? of enjoy
ing social intercourse, to teach them their duty in
this life, and to prepare them for the beatitudes of
the next.
" Though -their deficiencies must perhaps forever
etelude them as a elass, from the highest walks of
literature though no " mute inglorious Milton" be
among them fouud : no Newton, to number the stars
of the firmameut yet, -When we remember that they
are rational and immortal beings, what these have
recently been, what even now they are, and what
their capacities, under the auspices of benevolence
and science, may enable them to attain, theif educa
tion becomes an object of the, deepest interest to eve
ry pious, patriotic and benevolent heart. W(th au
imperfect experiment of less than twelve months.
made under the disadvantage, during a portion of
that time, of a deficient School Apparatus, with, no
Classes of advanced learning, tbe models as Well as
effieient Instructors of the lowerclasses, in sll Schools,
with every thing new, except the qualifications of the
Teachers, Whom the State has been fortunate enough
to engage, tbe issue of the experiment Is no longer
doubtful.
"We bave seea the Deaf and Dumb ywrtti of both
sexes, in this brief period, (nor msae 10 near ana speu,
as by miraculous power, it is true.) but become vers
ed in the language of signs, er pantomime, so as rea
dily to converse with their Preceptors, and with each
other, thus forming a little social community of their
own ; and enabled to read and writs onr own mother

no discredit to bearing an4 speaking pupils, with no

the change wrought ia ths rude productions of lbs

and eager for future acquisitions. Tliese are but the
happy indications, that their success in obtaining
ideas has been not less perfect, and is even more grate
ful, than the power of communicating them to others.
Many came with but little information concerning. I he
relations and dependencies of some of the mostJMm
mon objects in nature, with hardly a conception of
the proer duly of man here, and his destiny hereaf
ter. Now they cheerfully accordthehr duty 1m their
Creator, acknowledging hia existence and hia attri
butes, and the necessity of submission to his laWS, and
obedience to his will, whilfe they endeavor to attain
usefulness and happiness as men, by a lifeof rectitude,
in their day and generation. They are now to sepa
rate, for a brief interval only it is hoped, to visit their
respective homes, o gladden the hearts of their pa
rents and friends, and 10 illustrate in their several
neighborhoods, the triumph of judicious and scienit fic
instruction over what was formerly considered an in
superable defect of -nature. .
"In all antiquity we leek in vain for any successful
human effort le overcome the otntructions to commu
nication with the Deaf and Dumb. 'and fo restore tl.em
to society. The only individual of that class u hu ob
tained any relief, as far as our knowlel(re eUcmls,
was the Dumb mau to whom speech was given, as re
corded by the mfraclesof the New Trsiaiueut. The
most polished'and powerful, as well a the ruder na
tions of ancient times, seem to have regarded them
as incurable unfortunates, to be phiceil in the sum
category with idiots and lunatic. Kveu in later
times, and within less limn two centuries pust, the
Writers on municipal law in I he mo"t enlightened iih
tions of the world, treat of lliem an persons inrdptiWe
o( making valid contracts or wills. It was reserved
far the last century, ajid to the philosophy and hu
manity of France, Germany and Holland, to open the
doors or discover new inlets to the heuipliled minds
of these children of misfortune, and to lead them forih
into the Tiiht of natural and leliirioiis truth, and to re
store iliem to their lost estate among the human race.
Among the beneactors who were conspicuous in this
noble achievement, the names of ihe Abhe delT.pce
and the Abbe Sicard, tlf France, and Ifeiuicke, of
Germany, deserve to be especially mentioned, and
gratefally remembered. To the system matured in
France, and first introduced into the United Stales,
by the Rev. Doctor Galtandet, of Hartford Connecti
cut, in 1815, we are mainly indebted for the exhibi
tion we have this day beheld. Did lime und oppor
tunity allow, it might be interesting to compare this ej'B
tem which aims to enable the pupuil to communicate
with speaking persons, by means of writleu language,
with that of the Germans which endeavors to teach
him to speak, or utter articulate sounds. It is suffi
cient at present to remark, that the French system is
preferred by ell teachers of practical experience iu
our own Country, and is belisVed by many of them,
to be the only one capable of use, iu a language so
variable and arbitrary in its pronunciation us the
English.
"The chief purpose of these remarks remains to he
accomplished. Tuis Asylum numbers as yet but 17
pupils.. Of these, 15 only are State pupils. The
bounty provided by the Legislature, with proper le
vies by the Magistrates of the several Counties, is
equal to the support of thirty-five State pupils per
annum ; and suitable accommodations will be provi
ded for any additional number who are able to pay
their own expenses.
"According to the census of 1840, there were 1C2
Lreai mu Luiim wmie persons unuerz.J years oi agek
in the State of North Carolina. From inquiries mad
the head of this Institution, there 'are toieVedflb" Si
even more. But from causes unknown, perhaps, the
ignorance, incredulity or apathy of the parents or
friends of these unfortunates, only the few now be
fore us, are permitted to share the boom so generous
ly held out to them by the Government. What we
desire in now obtruding on the public attention, is to
awaken the warm sympathies, and to enlist the
strenuous efforts of every intelligent and humane
citizen, in behalf of the neglected that ill whatever
neighborhood one of them may lie fouud, lie may be
brought to the notice of the County Court of. his
County, and rescued from the darkness aud gloom of
his present condition. Charilablo effort in such a
cause partakes of the quality of that mercy which "is
livice htessed,"
" It blesselh him That gives and him that takes."
What more can be added of an Institution like
this? Au Institution that is capable of lifting the
soul from its chaotic labyrinth of darkness, aud point
ing it to light, and joy, by revealiug the true springs
of happiness, and directing it to the true course of its
attainment. We leave the heart of our readers to
answer ; and should that heart be at a los for a
fitting response, we say, go to the Institution itself, and
drink in, as we have done, that tnute and thrilling
eloquence, wTiich the lips cannot utter, aud which
words cannot convey.

inlo a hundred times already, the speech of the
learned Senator did nut appear to excite much
interest. Sundry Senators took an excursion to
I he land of 'od, and certain others escaped into
1 he ladies' jjallery, and made speeches short ami

HOUSE OF REPKESKNTATIVES.
Alter the disposal of some iniimuorlaiH maC-
lerf, the House, by a vote of 1U0 le 07, went
into Committee of the Whole, and took up the
Harbor hill, by a vote o 81 to (10.
Mr. Mi L'nnnell moved to lay the bill aside, Tor

appointment of Clerks, lie thought that bill the

with a family. Adverting to the great amount
of appropnai ions lor the Erie Canal, he said the
Lake appeared to have yrnvMi much longer ol
late. In lact it was as long as long John Went
worth. (Roars of laughter, in which Mr, Went
worth joined.)
M. Mt'Conuell having tired additional shots at
the bill, his motion to strike out the enacting

A lonn; and tedious debate then arose relative
to the clause providing lor the purchase of the
slock in tbe Louisville and Portland Canal.
At a late hour, without any tleiinim action,
the committee rose, and alter the reception of the

for a day or two if any Senator desired lime lor

British statesmen in Parliament an' tn.t to be
taken an an indication ol the true state of the feci

country to talk when it was about to act. If any
weight was to be attached lo tliese pacific speech

on the Hiirlace. ,

ITJT A Hosnisn Stohy I related iu the " Cin
ciuustti Commercial" the particulars of which ars
given on the authority of Dr. I.. M Rogers, of New
Richmond some 'JO miles distant from Cincinnati,
on the Ohio and of the liulh of which no doubt is
entertained. It appears that on the preceding Fri
day a box about the silt: ol a large prm caudle box
lioated past New Richmond. The inhabilo'ut a sup
posing it to contain merchandise, caught it up and
towed it to the wharf. Immediately on taking oil'
the cover, imngiue their Consternation to find it con
tained the dead bodies of two infanta, and the legs,
breast, and inner portions of the body of a grown fe
male, undoubtedly the mother of Iho children I The
whole town was thrown into excitement, aud Dr. 1
Uogers was sent fur, as well as the most prominent
citizens of that place. The unfortunate mother il
was the general opinion, was young very probably
the victim of sedwrtion, anil while Unveiling on a j
boat, was cruelly murdered with her babes. -.Sime -of
the citizens, who witnessed Ihmi-cene believe that j
the murder was committed in Cincinnati, and lh.it one i
of the up-river packets had taken the box some place I
above New Richmond, and thrown il overboard, -:i as I
to allay all suspicion of the parties at that cnv. "Tlie !
opinion uppeara to have gained strength, fium the
fact of the box bearing the name of a firm, in Cin
cintinti, which had been planed oil', but the water
had caused the iftters to show plainly as ever ngam.
Conjecture is r a loss to account for these murders,
and the placing of the bodies iu a box, and then
throwing it inlo the Ohio. Of eotirsc, when it was i
dropped in, anil by whom, is unknovi n ; and ail
iheie is to show where the box came from, is the I
fact of the maik ubove mentioned , that the person
intended to erae but failed in doing. This may lead
to detection, aud the pir-peti atoi'ji of the cruel nntr- '
dura brought to light, which id sincerely to ho hoped.
