To this lutter no reply m directly made, but in correspoiaTtDce wbicb ensued between ben.

Whatev er judgment a stern casuistry may pronounce ttpon a brvacb-of parole, iir any and all circum stances, there can be no doubt that the treatment to which he was subjected was a gross national indignity and wrong, for which ntouement was due, and perhaps should have beeifexacted ; and that his apprehensions for his personal safety were not vain or idle, Col. Washington, who was at this time a prisoner within the liritir-h lines, having been taken at the battle of Eutaw Springs, andjsas familiar with the desperate character of the tury refugees, on James's Island declared that he would sooner go into a dungeon than take a imrole on that inland, in its then situatiou.

During his " inability and absence from the State," Alexander Martin, the Speaker of the Senate, assumed and exercised the powers of Gov ernor, according to the provisions of the Consti--r. tution, and the -Government continued in all its ' functions and usefulness. f As soon as the seizure and imprisonment of me jpvernor becanie known, the veteran Gen. Rutherford, who had returned from his long im- Krisonment in St. Augustine, raised a force in lecklenburg, Rowan and Guilford, and led an expedition against the British post, at Wilming ton, and the loyalists, who were its emmissaries. i and aller chnslising the latter in divers skirmish es, finally disiiersed or drove them wijthjn the lines of the British Garrison, which,' becoming informed of the advances made byureene in the -'.".' rfronquest of South Carolina, and the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at YorVown, evacuated the town, and returned to Charleston. Thus was the British flag struck, o the 18th of NoS ember, 1781, never again, to be unfurled in North Caro ;lina.

Having bad occasion to refer to the Statute L Boo ht faithful and authentic source of instruc tion iilhe history of all nations, and especially of free governments in times of peril and revolu tion, I deem it fit to call vour attention, in con neeUon with the period f dread and douU thro which -- have passed, ;to an act orffie Leirisla- at its first session after the proclamation of ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES. History supplies but a few instances of many States, politically distinct, yet link ed together by a prelect community of race, of language, of customs,' ftnd of so cial institutions. Those few instances, however, have been very remarkable.- The most prominent, il not (be only, up to modern limrs, have been tbe Greek and German races, both of them under some mysterious law. which made a common character itself .the stimulus of separation and dispersion. Each of these races has performed a great part in tbe economy of civilization, which would not have been so well performed bad their genius tended more to political unity, to perfect uniibr- j mity of laws, to conquest, or anvxOtber lorm oi national egotism. Conquerors ana statesmen, not less able and success ful, have endeavored, time after time, to construct out of the copious and splendid materials around them a Greek or a Ger man unity, but the grinder the-attemp't the. more conspicuous the failure j and Greek and German to t his day remain the names of races, not of Slates. Both these great Instances seem likely to be eclipsed y one wbicu bids fair to occupy tbe same prominent place in the history of the whole world as the Hellenic race did Tn t hat les sr world, wbicb was limited to the shores of the Mediterranean.

At present no other language and national character present the same appearance of diffusion and propagation. Germans and French, not to speak of lesser nations, are absorb ed and assimilated into the great English staple of the United Slates. Indeed, the day is not far distant when tbe language we speak will be the chief medium of communication throughout the Atlantic, ine l'HCitic, the Indian, and the Southern oceans j and wherever tbe weary emi grant seeks to rest the sole c-f his foot, he will find htmsell compelled to change the language of his fathers for that ol Queen v ictoria anu rresiuent illmore.

The bloomine damsel was determined to partake of the "bed and board" and inhale the rich odors which McGrawville College teach ing had pictured, and more than this she would not remain in membershin with denomination .that preaches but declines to practice, and sent in her resignation in due form ol law. Whereupon down from McGrawville comes the blushing A lien,' (decked in wed ding garb.) But as the anxious couple not having the nupt ial rites celebrated under the Re vrr. endfbersroorifiey withdrew to the domicile of a certain schoolmaster, near by, and made preparations for the cere monies..

' Your truly. 111 s To the Editors of the People's Press. Gentlemen: The Greensboro Patriot of tbe 12th inst., contains an article from a Surry Whig, in which he recommends that a Convention of this Congressional District be held at Yadkinsville on the first Tuesday in May next, to nominate a candidate for Congress. I respectfully beg leave to differ with the writer as to the time and place of holding said Conven lion. Ours is a very long district, mid the h l . . . canaiuaie, wnoever he may -he. will not have time to convass tbe district tho roughly. Governor Manly no doubt lost his election by not having time to visit all Ihe counties of the Mate. Manly. ) be lieve, had an increased majority over bis first vote in every county that be and Re id visited. Tbe Convention which nom inated Manly met the last of May or the first of June. fNbw-1 have no4dea of hav ing our district Convention so late as not to allow the candidate time to visit and meet our Whig friends at several places in eacn county, and 1 will therefore re spectfully suggest Tuesday the 5th of April for the Convention to meet - I will also suggest Winston in Forsyth County, as tne most central point. Salem is near at hand, and it the delegation is large they can be better accommodated than Ibey can in a small village with but a single public house, Yours, with respect,' &c. ; A SENATOR APPOINTED. Col. Wheeler as we are informed is telling his confidential friends and he seems to have a great many of them that the Governor has given him the appoint ment of a seat in the United States Sen ate to lake the place of Mr. Badger, whose confirmation to a. seat on the Supreme Court Bench has been voted by the Sen ate. We are sorry to learn that the Col. is in a great state cl" mental travail and tribulation in endeavoring to decide whe ther or not he w ill accepi the appoint ment. If he would consult tire destiny of our institutions and the great interests of Democracy, we think that the CotXwould not hesitate a moment. Tbe rumor has umor has .o.Ve c. the been spread very far and wide. western part of the State bv theso-conB dentinl communications of the Col. though the Raleigh papers make do mention of the circumstance.

Tbe writer appears to have too strong a sympathy lor Bishop Ives to reproach him lor his own statement ; but he is charitable enough to speak of others who adopt the Bisbip's idea in tbe follow. ing terms : To me it seems not iho expression of regret arid proper reprehension, but vein of malicious puerility, a narrowness of thought, emanating from hearts void of Ibat charity which never faileth." There's a specimen of a heart not vniA of charity, we suppose ! Fay. Observer. Our friend in.

Some of her people have dune nobly, for this road. Oihers tiara done well. Some other have done ,paiingly; but there are many who have done nothing.

And lhi.se who have all along refused, teem still determined lo do nothing. Qibrra say, " caa'f ;" and upon the whole, there are but few who plant them el ves erect, and say, " I WILL."
