We learn from the Elizabeth the City Star, that on Sunday week a man by the name of Jesse Easton, living near the south end of the Dis mal Swamp Canal, killed one of his neighbors by the name of Frederick Gregory. We un derstand a dispute arose be tween them about gathering corn, and Easton deliberately shot the other dead on the spot, lie immediately fled and has not yet been arrested. E11 gland.,. Andy ominous. The following is from a late "There are warnings which ought not to be neglected. "The Aristocra cy and the Church are boldy denoun ced every where1 as the enemies of the country. This expression of a deeply felt conviction is not to be trifled with., The lime for snctring or railing is gone by. During peri ods of indifference, men may be laughed outof their feeble resolves; but enthusiasm and resolution never jet were turned aside by such weapons. It is possible that the great personal popularity of ihe present King, and the mere house-hold reforms which he is so judiciouly making, will nor, secure England from the agitating spirit of democ racy, which is now abroad in Europe. Certain it is, hat her oppressive hierarchy and aristocracy must sooner or later be demolished. The Press now speaks out boldly, and the spirit-stirring events which so rapidly follow each other on the continent, may soon spread a flame over the "fVist-anchored isle," which the united cflbrts of the aristocracy, the church and the army, can not allay. The pride of English men will not permit them to remain less free than the freest nation of Europe.... Wash. Tel. The true purpose of Govern ment. The London Morning Chronicle, of Sept. 24, says: 'There is not a government of Europe which does not overstep the limits, within which a goverment ought to confine its exertions." The London Editor might have added the U. States of Am erica to the class of over-governed countries. He continues "The only legitimate object of a government is the protection of the people under it from foreign aggres sion, and from invading the rights of each other." He continues further: "All of the business which has been added, ihe favoring this branch of industry and prohibiting another, the favoring one set of opinions, and the prohibiting another, in short, the whole of the endeavor to control ac tion and opinion, is founded in a gross misapprehension of its proper functionaries. A "paternal govern ment," as it is called, is the most mischievous of all." Quere Is not this London Editor a much better Republi can than Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, J. Q. Adams, Joseph Gales, and John Azgl Wc think he is. ib. London Morning Chronicle: I WILL inform the public that I have a young Archie horse, of the first rale blood of the mother side. He was got out of a Ratler mare that was got out of one of Collector's colts, that Collector got out of a Mark Antony mare. Is a dark chesnut sorrel, and is about five feet one or two inches high, five years old last spring. I let him cov er a few mares at four years old; he got ten or fifteen colts that cannot bo excelled by any horse whatever, for I will show with anv horse in the Uni ted States. ALLEN DAVY can be found four miles west of -Hamilton, on Roanoke river; fifteen east of Tar borough; fifteen above Williamston; &rty below Halifax. I take this pains to inform the public that there is such a horse, as those gentlemen wishing to raise good horses may have the opportunity, as I have not advertised him yet. If he can run, it s unknown to any person; it is judg ed ..that he can, but he-has not been tried.- I shall iet him to mares next spring at moderate prices, which I will make known before the spring.
