On Tuesday last, William Tinney was ar jji-ned and tried upon an indictment charging n . ..i:n nnil pm!iP7.7.linf a. letter hiui witn eticviu o i,;,-h ca;ae in the mail to Green bpnng V.

The pris oner appeared soon after in Fayetteille, :and presented the check to the youDger Mr. Haigh for endorsement, whose suspicion being awaken ) tfak orisoner was arrested. Meantime! an Kiamination was made of the P.

The prosecution was conuucieu uy B.P. Wek, Esq., the District Attorney, and the prisoner was defended by Gov. Graham ,od Bartholomew Fuller,-Esq. The jury (re mained but a few minutes outt and returned a rerdict of guiity. j On. Wednesday, the trial ot Fenuel lljen arisks, indicted for utteVing and passing wo counterfeit coins purporting to be gold quarter Miles, was entered upon. The prisoner being loable to employ couuseltJ.U. auepnera ana B. Fuller, Esqs., of Fayetteville, were appointed iij the Court to conduct his case. It appear ed in evidence that, in May 1853, the prisoner nine to the store of T. S. Martin, in Iluntsvipe, Yadkin county, and, for the purchase of goojds, tendered the two coinsi which were at once de tected, and his arrest followed. On searching hie wallet or saddle-bags, a paper bundle, ch aining what amounted to $271 of these epuri taj coins, was found, a large number of whjch ns produced in Courti The evidence was vry itrong against the prisoner ; no witnesses wre tilled on his behalf; and the case was submit ted to the Court without argument, under the charge of his Honor, Judge Wayne. The jury, after about five minutes deliberation, found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to pay a, fine of $2500, and to imprisonment and Isnfinement at hard labor for 10 years. . The next case taken up was that of Smith 4; Cour r. the President and Directors of the Western Rail-road Company. B. F. Moore, Isq., of counsel for plaintiffs moved for a cou- I . .. r - i . r ,.A iiudui;o oi iu iiijuuciiou iifriuioie iiiuki iy Jude Potter, against the sale, by the Presi ient and Directors, of the Stock held in said Company by the plaintiffs, and proceeded to Bad an affidavit, on the part of the plaintiffs, htch get forth the manner in which the in JusMioti was obtained, and which gave the rca m why notice of the application for an injunc fon had hut been served upon the President ud Directors. When the Company was form d, tinder the Charter granted by Act of Assem- J, it appears that individuals subscribed for tKk to the amount of 930 shares, or $93,600, nd that Smith tfe Colby, of New York, sub Krited the balance, being 4004 shares, or $400,- being more than 4-5th of the whole stock. Company being Organized ; a President and Erectors appointed ; one per cent; having been Elected; surveyors being appointed, and sur- ''Jirnnde: the location and terminus of the was left to the stockholders, and not to the ffwident ident and Directors: who refused to defer ,i ., , , . . . ... ... i bemshes of a large majority of the1 8toc- 1 1 , . w'deis, in these respects, and declared their "ock forfeited in default of the payment of a instalment, for which the Company had I use, and which was only intended to oppress plaintiffs in this action. The bill recited lit particular proceedings of the Board, with , ch the- public are already acquainted ; and I DDcluded by averring that the injunction was ed by Judge Pottie, on the 3d of November. ! to restrain the collection of an instalment per cent, declared by the President and Actors due on th'ft 5th fif November. Mr. Moori followed the reading of this am k'it by a verv able argument in its sunnort 'wufurced its man v points with strength and stness, and pressed upou 4he Court the I0"? which should protect his cI3entsr who "Mil 80 lar f a minrit- an 4-.tlth of the ntorV I "wis Company, from the absolute and oppres 'fruleof the minority, owning barely one- Judge BiDfiiR ten. then Vienrd in hAnalf of I Pendants, and against the continuance of junction and he contended that its dis- was almost imperative upon the Court. 1 ime 'proceedings of the Stockholders, or of the Pi '"'dont and Directors, had but little to do H this CailfiA Tt ha nrrruarl that tliA lo tfro J n ft V nf't transcended their powers, under the wr: for, after the President and Directors e appointed, under the 2d, 6th and 9th sec- n of the Act of Incorporation, they had the of controlling the location, construction, l J . " -"1 " fj-.-W. . Htiding upon all such things as, in their opins on, the interests of the Company mieht renuire Mr, B. also contended that this injunction had been granted in direct violation of the Act of Congress whi h conferred upon the District Judges the power to grant injunctions, and the provisions of which inhibited them from grant ing an injunction, in any ease, where sufficient notice of the application had not been given to the adverse party. In this case, no notice what ever had been given, though all the defendants were in and around the town of Fayetteville, in the immediate vicinitj of which the Judge re sided. Mr. J. G. Shepherd then read . the answer filed in this cause to the bill of the plaintiffs ; which set forth the facts involved, and was of considerable length. Judge Wayne delivered the opinion of the Court, lie examined in detail the various argu ments presented in the bill and answer, as well as the points made by the opposing counsel: and, referring to the terms of the charter, its designs, and extended views, as liberally grant ed by the Legislature, indicated the opinion that the interests of no portion of the stockhol ders could be separated from those of the others: that all were equally bound by the action of the officers to whom they had delegated the nowers of the Corporation ; and went into a general examination and exposition of the law as appli cable to this subject. The Judge remarked, that no more fruitful subject of controversy ex isted, i this country, than the powers and ac tion of these Corporations. The judgment of the Court was, that the Injunction fa dissolved. Mr. Moore then, on behalf of Smith and Colby, gave notice that, on the next day, he should move for an appeal from this decision to 4lie Supreme Court of the United States. OaThursday, the Court met at 11 o'clock. Wm. Tinney was again brought intw Court, and the Judge delivered his opinion, overruling a mo tion made by his Counsel for an arrest of judg ment, and proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner that he be imprisoned and confined at hard labor for 10 years. Mr. Moore waived his motion for an appeal in the case of Smith & Colby r. Western Rail Road Company, and the bill was dismissed with out prejudice. The Court then aijourned. CLERK OF THE HOUSE. The organs of the Administration indicate that Forney is to be continued in his present position of Clerk of the House of Representa tives, if his election can be secured by Govern ment influence. It is one of the ill omens of the times, that a man so notoriously corrupt aud unprincipled is in high favor with "the powers that be." His infamous letter to George Roberts, in which he was guilty of something like "sub O'nation of perjury,"in the Forrest Divorce case, may have escaped the recollection of our rea ders, and we therefore subjoin an extract, by way of refreshing their memories. It is as fol lows : "On tki? evidence, with the other confirma tory proofs, he (Forrest) intends applying to our Legislature for a divorce, but you arc now in a position to serve him in a manner he iiecer will foryet. The person who wrote to Mrs. F., and in whose company she was detected, is George Jamieson, now playing at New Orleans. If you don't know him, you can, as the editor of a lead ing daily paper, soon make his acquaintance. What Forrest now desires, to clinch the nail, is, to obtain in some icay an admission Jrom Jamie son. 1 named you to him as asafe, steady, and intelligent friend, and he wXll iex?r frgei what ever you may do for him, in this, to him, most vital matter. He suggests that you might in stitute intimate relations icith him, and then in duct him, either in your presence or in company, to admit, as a Hung to be proud of, his connec tion Kith Mrs. F. lie is , fond of a glass, and possibly, in a convivial mood, might become com municative. io harm win come to nim ; ne is game too small for Forrest and any admission he may make may be important only as aiding an injured man in getting relieved from a hate ful bond. Can you manage this thing, my friend? It will require skill and caution, and if successful will warmly endear you to Forrest. He is nearly crazy at the idea of being placed in his present position; but he will spend half he is worth to be relieved from it. This matter must be kept secret. Above all, do not name me in connection with it. Excuse me for troubling you in regard to it. My ardent attachment to glorious Forrest m.ust be my excuse. Now, won't you help to relieve him ? It would help in the matter, probably, to know that John Green, the actor, now in New "rleaiw; is tne warm inendot f orrest, ana may know Jamieson well. You can use your own . , . him k . f voke his aid." . This, infamous epistle, written with the view of blasting the reputation of a woman, came out only a few weeks after Forney's election a Clerk of the last House. If it had come out be fow thfl electiot,( ne coutd never bave obta;ned the place which he disgraces. We have been informed that the subject of his expulsion was freely talked of in Washington, when the letter appeared, and, although no movement to that effect was made, his fate, as an aspirant for po litical honors, was regarded as sealed. But this Administration, being engaged in the business of "washing dirty linen" for all sorts of politi cal offenders, oould not refuse that of Forney, even, blotted and blotched as it is. What has the "Standard" to say in behalf of the morality and honor of a party which upholds such men in power? Does the support of this unprinci pled 8uoorBer of perjury involve the vital ques tion of "organisation ?" and most he therefore be re-elected at all hazards, in order to maintain "the integrity of the Democratic party J" "A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAM WILL SliELL AS sweet. The "Boston Post," the Administration organ for the State of Massachusetts, ..insists that, since Coalition has exploded, Democrats of every shade should now unitt, for the purpose of securing success ! '' William A. Strong, Esq., has assumed the Editorial control of the Goldsboro' "Repub- ) lican and. Patriot." " IIIGH.-TONED FEDERALISM." The " Standard," under the above caption, recently gave way o all sorts of editorial con tortions and grimaces, excited by some casual remarks of ours, relative to the stability of legislative character. We proposed do change in the organic law of representation, made not the slightest reference to the English rotten borough system, which the " Standard" lugs in by the neck and shoulders, as Sanho did his proverbs, and, in fact, never thought of that or any other abuse which has existed un der the English system of government. But the editor's memory, like that of Dame Qcickly, is filled with an endless concatenation of unim portant particulars, and the slightest provoca tion is sufficient to bring down a torrent of in vective against all manner of English enormi ties. We expressed the opinion that the Eng lish are, perhaps, wiser than we, in a single particular, which causes the sapient editor to indulge in a burst of patriotic indignation, which is truly refreshing. " The English," he says, " are more aristocratic than other people," " but that they are 'wiser' than those illus trious sages who formed our constitution, we have yet to learn." Now, if this were not a very paltry and contemptible piece of dema gogueism, which it is, it would argue a degree of stupidity, which would disgrace the dullest fledgelingqf young democracy. Dcoberry wrote himself a dolt, with less reason than might the editor of the " Standard," if the above is to be considered an honest inference from our re mark. Did the editor, being a lawyer, never hear English judicial decisions quoted in our Courts of law? And is ne not aware that those decisions, when not inconsistent with our con stitutions and statutes, are taken to be authori tative expositions of law ? Why may we not quote English example, then, as well as the Judges of our Courts? We proposed no change of law or constitu tion whatever we merely spoke of the proba ble benefits of the introduction of an English usage, which the Constitution of the United States admits of. We gave no countenance to the idea that a State might be represented by a citizen of another State, but, on the contrary, qualified our remarks, so as to make it clear that we meant nothing of that kind. The Standard " falsely throws out the intimation that we countenance the idea that Mr. Biidger, for instance, should be continued in the Senate by Massachusetts. It is only necessary for the readers of that journal to refer to the short ex tract, which is copied from our article, to see the disingenuousness of the imputation. Neither did we advise any change in our State Consti tution, so that a county might be represented by a citizen of another county. By the way, it is singular that the Editor of the " Standard h is the only man in the whole Union who has been run as a candidate by a constituency of which he is not a member. It is within the recollection of our readers, that the democracy of Hertford voted for Mr. Holden, a citizen of Wake, for the Legislature, some five or six years ago, in opposition to Mr. Rayner! Whether it was his ill success on that occasion which has set him so violently against the English practice, we are unable to say. Certain it is, lie has done more to introduce the English usage than any man in America, although he was signally de feated for the time ! But for the disgust we naturally feel in wit nessing these exhibitions of demagogueism, we should be disposed to congratulate the editor of the "Standard" upon finding a " mare's nest." He has been in a desperate state of mind for some time past, in consequence of the disrepu table character of the Administration, of which he is the feed attorney ; and it cannot be denied that his columns have worn a whipped-dog ap pearance, ever since the New York "difficulties" occurred. What a relief, then, to his jaded spirits, must be the cry of Federalism and British gold ! He really seems to breathe freer, and to flatter himself that he is out of the woods ; but we shall be eonstrained, by a sense of public duty, to undeceive him. Speaking of British gold, does it not argue cool effrontery in the " Standard " to allude to it, in the face of the fact, that the " London Times," the great organ of English Toryism, congratulated Europe on the election of Gen'l Pierce ? and in face of the fact, that the Aus trian Consul at New York, Belmont, bought a foreign mission of Gen'l Pierce or his friends, at the price of thirty thousand dollars, paid down before the election; for votes 1 Is it the or gan of such a party which can afford to allude to the subject of British gold ? Finally, can the " Standard " point out any great evil which can result from the usage to which we have referred ? When a constituency Shall choose to elect a man not living among them, to represent them in Congress, they will do so freely ; and would the "Standard " deny them the exercise of a privilege which the Con stitution guarantees ? This " is the head and front of our offending." Let demagogues make the most of it; We are indebted to PoitEROY for the De cember numbers of Harper and Putnam, both of which magazipes sustain their well-earned reputations. Apart from the reading matter in each, a great attraction consists in the illustra tionsj which, owtng to the improvements in wood engraving, are as perfect as the most fas tidious connoisseur could desire; We have also received a copy of an address, delivered by our former townsman, Dr.Wm. M. McPheeters, before the Medical Department of the St. Louis University. Its, subject, '" The legitimate end of Professional Ambition," is treated With that ability which all,-who know him, accord to the Author. KOSTA COMING. ; - . Bostoh, Nov. 29. The baraue Sultana was spoken to-day, twen ty miles east of Cape Ann. She has on broard the renowned and illustrious t Martin Kosta. She will arrive to-morrow. THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY. Senator Weller, of Californi, is out with a letter decidedly "hard" ifl its characteristics. He has no faith in, nor fellowship with, the Barnburners, and although be says nothing di rectly about the Administration, we cannot fail to perceive evidence of his deep dissatisfaction. Gen. Pierce and his Cabinet can expect little support from Mr. Weller, and we shall be great ly surprised if he is not openly arrayed in oppo sition. Senator Bright, of Indiana, is also "hard," and will be found to be, what is known as, aSi "independent" supporter of the Adminis tration, that is to say, its real foe! We shall be greatly surprised if Mason and Hunter, of Virginia, are not among the disaf fected. With their high-toned professions of honor and devotion to principle, it is impossible that they can affiliate with an Administration which is in alliance with renegade Freesoilers and Abolitionists of every stripe, while the Com promise Democracy are repudiated. The si lence of Gen. Cass is ominous, and even Doug las is suspected of disaffection. Foote, of Mis sissippi, has been openly warred upon by the Administration, on account of his labors in be half ef Union and Compromise ; and Howell Cobb; of -Georgia, has been "stabbed under the fifth rib," for the same reason, with a "how art thou, my brother" on the lips of the assassins. It is of couiie out of the question to suppose that men of spirit will support such an Admin istration under such circumstances. FOREIGN. The last arrival from Europe, it will be seen, brings the most cheering accounts of Turkish victories over the Russians Every generous i breast will sympathise with the gallant Turks. They are fighting fur freedom, nationality, aud the religion of their fathers. They deserve success, and, backed by England and France, they cannot fail to secure it. We rejoice to see Christianity spread by legitimate mean's, but we have nj faith in the Apostles of the Sword. Russia is Christiau in name, but, practically, is heathen to the core. Turkey is Mahomedan by profession, but its government is tolerant of other religions, and many millions of Chris tians are subject to the Sultan and prefer his mild government to the intolerant bigotry and despotism of Russia. Ka?" The Legislature of Alabama has confirm ed the Democratic nominations for Senators in Congress from that State, by electing Messrs. Benjamin Fitzputrick and Clement C. Clay, Jr. to the Vacant places. . They are both of the se cession wing of the party. Mr. Clemens, whose term expired with the last Congress, and who was a candidate for re-election, was a Unitm Democrat. Telegraphed for the Pete.sburg Intelligencer. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. New York, Nov. 29. The Atlantic arrived at her wharf last night, bringing a large number of passengers and four days later news, having sailed from Liver pool. Nov. 15. Her news is important both in a political and commercial point of view. The mails are said to contain the details of a recent affair at OLtenisted, which resulted in a brilliant Turkish victory. It is reported that twelve . hundred Russians were killed and wounded. The Turks, numbering nearly one hundred thousand, were across the Danube. The Russian Commander, Gortschakoff, had received orders to act on the offensive. The tl'urks had captured eight gens at Olten isted. 'iThe fourth regiment of Poles in the Russiah service it is said were disaffected to wards the Czar, and had favored the passage of the enemy across the Danube. They gave no alarm whatever when they saw the Turks cros sing. The Turkish fleet was in the Black Sea, and the Anglo French fleet was in the sea of Marmora. Russia lays an embargo on all Turkish ship ping from 22nd of October. Neutral flags are to be respected. Count Nesselrode's diplomatic circular had been published and excited strong remarks from the French and British press. Turkey it is said will have nothing to do with amendments to the Vienna note, but in sists on an entirely new treaty to settle her course jn future. Klasta had received command of all troops on the Danube in the Turkish service. The Circassians continue to have success in Asia. France. Napoleon expresses himself strong ly in favor of active operations to aid the Turks. England. The British Government evident ly vaccillates.

It wks announced that the Sultan had placed himself at the head of the army. The latest dates from V lenua were to Mon day, the 8th. The Russian commander had moved torwara to Utennuza wun -i.uuu men, mostly infantry. On the 11th he met tne iurKs ana a pitcnea battle ensued. The Russians were compelled to retreat a second time in great disorder to Bucharest, having lost 4,000 men the most re liable accounts say 3,000. On the 9th the Turks were driven from an island opposite Guirgero. Shortly after rein forcements arrived, when the island was reta ken b j the Turks who held it. The Czar has summarily discharged all the English opera' tives from Russian navy yardsi ' Further. Passengers, who came over in the Atlantic, report that Lord Aberdeen was about to resign and make way lor a more war-like ministry. The Herald has a letter from our Consul at London, Mr. Saunders, stating that the Porte had notified Austria she must either withdraw ber troops from the frontier and have her neu trality guaranteed by France and England, or she will declare war against her and march an army into Hungary under the Generalship of Kossuth.. Kossuth's agent has been openly received at Constantinople. COMMUNICATIONS, FOR THE REGISTER. Health Tnp to the Trcqdcs, by N. P. Willis, Charles Scribner, N. Y. Just on the heels of Prof. Silliman's prosy, scientific book of travels in Europe, we have this interesting record of a journey to the West India Islands, and the Southern and Western parts of the States. Envious cities may rant, respectable old gentlomen with white chokers may turn up their hoses, yet, as long as Mr. Willis (that is, N. Parker Willis) writes, he will have readers. His pleasant off-hand style, intermirigSed, now and then, with sentiment and wit, as once captivate the general reader. The present volume contains letters written from Bermuda, St Thomas and other places of interest. The descriptions of the dark damsels of Martinique have, no doubt, caused him to get a good many parlor lectures, tinged with a little jealousy, tiiuee his return home. Hear him on this point s " I will commence my letter, I believe, with introducing you to a belle of a new color, my Hon. friend and myself having just been presented to a jet-black young lady, who ' is im the best of society at Fort Royal,' and who in said to be more admired, by the French officers stationed there( than any other young lady on their visiting list. Of that city of ten thousand inhabitants, Mademoiselle Juliette Celestine, we were assured, is quite the fashionable young lady most attended to. " M'lle Juliette is about nineteen, and as plump as Hebe her original model from nature apparently just perfected. liar stun, though black as ebony, is fine-grained and lustrous, and her shoulders (there was no denying) quite beautiful. The gorgeous-colored Madras tur ban covered her forehead to the eyebrows, and, with a long sweep of twisted gold over the cheek, concealed the hair the lace hem of her snowv chemise being the next downward inter- I ruption to the lines of rounded ebony.

Her eyes would have been beauti ful, if there had been anything ijhite in the neighborhood, with which to contrast them ; but'black eyes on such a ground were 'coals to Newcastle.' They had one fine quality, how ever; they bad never been contracted with a suspicion, or an attempt to understand anything that did not speak for itself, and they were, consequently, as tranquilly open as the cups of two water-liilies." There now, you Broadway beautrtjs, what do you think of that? Mr. Willis never said half as much fur you in earnest, as he has said about this black gal. The reason is, you are too fond of cassitrftre, and that don't suit Mr. W. The author gives: us, also, a sketch of a visit to the Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, which is very pleasant, in fact, the most graphic we have ever read. lie notices New Orleans, Savannah, and other ciiies, giving the reader, no doubt, a correct, view of those places, as regards appear ance ; and, n the whole, it is a pleasant book, over which the reader may spend an hour, with out injury, if not profit. For sale by W. L. Pojieroy. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Gales : Will you permit me to express, through the iolumns of your paper, my obliga tions, as a member of the North Carolina Bar, to William iinton, Jr., Esq., for his admirable1! "Book qt Practical i orms 7 It supplies a want that has been most painfully and embarrassing ly felt by the: Junior members of the profe.-sion in this Sta:e ; and with them, it should be a vade mtciuit, until they shall become perfectly familiar; with the concise, and, at the auie time, clear and comprehensive, Forms of Mr. Eaton. I hope it will, not be considered offensive in me to suggest, that the older members of the Bar wili also do well, in their practice, to make fre quent reference to its pages. Its explanatory notes and references to authorities are invalua ble. For the. benefit of Clerks and other officers of Courts, 1 will remark that they will find it of inestimable value to them, in the discharge of their duties. There is a neatness and beauty, as well as perfection, about it, that would give character to tihe records of our Courts". Mr. Eaton well remarks that, "the reputation of the State must depend in a considerable degree up on her jurisprudence, and Nor'h Carolina has been injured abroad by the slovenly manner in which her records have been made up, notwith standing she lias been blessed with an able, pure, aud upright administration of public justice, and has given birth to some of the most learned lawyers and accomplished advocates in the Un ion. Our judicial proceedings ought to assume a more technical and business-like form. Dr. Story truly ofjserved, many years since( that exemplificatiuns of American Judgments may pass, nay, do already pass to England, and it ought to be otur pride to knpw that they will not be disgraced under the inspection of the sober tienches of any Inn of Court. Every patriotic citizen ought to desire that our records may be kept in such a style, that exemplifications of them, when sent abroad, may reflect no dis credit upon tie legal tribunals of the State." Mr. Eaton's Book is the Book for the profes sion in North Carolina. It is just such a Book as we might jpave expected from the great legal learning, the1 untiring industry, and acknowl edged accuracy of its accomplished author. No lawyer should bo without it. JUSTITIA. Nov. 28, 1S53. FOR THE REGISTER. To the Editor of tiie Register: Sir, If your correspondent, who signs himself a Native of North Carolina, will, in a future number of the Register, give a somewhat longer, fuller, extract from Dr. Mitchell's article of Oct. 5th, it will be apparent to your readers, how unjust the representations of that correspondent are and how ridiculous the insinuations they are in tended to convey. The inverted commas serve especially to mark a quotation and cannot be honestly used, with a reference to any particular volume or writing attached, unless the words given are actually in that volume or writing. When this is not the case, the effect, and most commonly the purpose is, to mislead and deceive. But the inverted commas are frequently em ployed also to distinguish one's own statement, of the opinions, or arguments, or representations of Other people ; and honestly and properly so employed, provided a distinct intimation is given, or it is in any way mad perfectly clear at the lime, that the words included in the commas are our own, and not intended to be an exact copy of what has been uttered in express terms by any other person. This was the case with the passage in inverted commas in Dr. Mitchell's article of Oct. 5tb, which, to any one who shall read that article, will appear as certainly not to have been intended for a quotation, as if the words, "this Ss not a quotation," had been print ed across its face. There was no intention to deceive, and o one was deeeiyed. M. ggtT Mr. John M. Botts has been appointed Chairman of she Auxiliary Committee for the State of Virginia, of the Clay Monumental As sociation of Kentucky, and invites the people of Virginia to subscribe for the purpose of erec ting a monument over the grave of Mr. Clay. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Gales : A number of prominent gentle men have been mentioned' in yotrr own, and other Whig papers of the State, as suitable per sona to reeeivethe nomination for Governor,' a the hands of the next Whig Convention. Most of these are men who would lend strength and dignity to any canse, nnd I would not disparage them, or prejudice their claims, in asserting a very decided preference for GEORGE DAVIS, of New Hanover, over any other person whose name has been mentioned in connection with the nomination. Mr. Davis is known to your readers as a gen tleman of fine talents and attainments, of , the highest character, and as a good conservative vvhig, who has never swerved from the path of duty, and whose fealty has never been donbted. Eloquent and argumentative before the people, he would make an available candidate clear headed, honest, sincere, and of spotless charac ter, he would adorn the office of Governor, and be a cause of just pride to the' State of North Carolina. A BERTIE WHIG.;' -t - - FOR THE REGISTER, Mr. Editor .-The long sought for coal at Egypt has been found, and Dr. Mitchell' can no longer shake his incredulous head and call upon the auger to decido between Dr. Emmons and himself. The auger has found a 5 foot bed of coal on the bottom land of Egypt and on the south side of Deep River. "The. indefatiga ble Mr. McLean, who has been pushing tfaj's work, for several months, announced the fact of this discovery, on Saturday night last, hav ing gone down 360 feet and 3 inches, before he got it, 2 miles south east of this pit. Another 5 foot vein of coal was found, being still farther from the River, on its south side, and upon lands of other persons ; so that Dr. Mitchell can, with truth, now say, he has taught his classes that valuable coal deposits Wero upon this Deep River .
