edging how grcalful I am, and with what fondness I shall ever reflect on the partiality manifested towards me by those of my fellow citizens hest acquainted with me. To you I am bound to state, that laborious and un pleasant as I found the task of an Editor to be, I would have continued to discharge it could I have done so with justice to myself With shame and reluctance I retire from your setv rice. Having commenced without capital I was bound to contract a great many debts in order to proceed in my business I both hoped and expected thtt you all would, for you knew my situation, pay according to the terms of subscriptionabout one-fifth only yet have paid Our creditors shew no indulgence to us duns war rants suits executions and ca-sas impend We have no demand legally until the year expires and then you all know how very indifferent you are to pay an Editor. To continue in'a business by which I am forced to contract debts, to discharge which I have no certain means, certainly, ought not to be required. I know that you, knowing me as most of you do personally, will readily pardon me for adopting the course I have, lie fides, the office will not with its pre sent patronage support two Editors, neither of whom understand the art of printing. I did not feel justified in assuming the entire responsibility of so expensive an establishment, and therefore have relinquished to my late associate all my interest in it. Mr. Ramsay is known by character, if not personally to you all he is a grand son of the celebrated Dr. Ram .say (a biographical sketch of who have selected fortius paper) and is, I think, every way worthy of his illus trious progenitor. You may rest as Mired that Mr. R. will continue the Constitutionalist with as much abil ity as heretofore that he will with independence and fearlessness sup port and maintain its principles la bor for the preservation of the Union the rights of the States, and go for North Carolina, "Me tv hole of North Carolina." He is every way wor thy of encouragement, in him I have great confidence, and do o?ethai he may receive more patronage than his paper at present has. In conclusion I will remark that during the short period I was em ployed as Editor, I labored for the advancement of the cause 1 honestly espoused. For the furtherance of the democratic principles I inherited, and which were impressed on my youth ful mind. The general interest of iny country the best interests of my State I strove to have consulted. That I frequently erred, is highly probable That passion, natural to youth and ardent temperament, often betrayed me intC Expressions not con genial to the reflecting and discreel 1 have no doubt That I more than once appeared rather tmcourteous to some of the Corps Editorial I am not disposed to deny, and sometimes dealt with the big folks in what they thought an impolite manner, but to none did I ever do an injury to grati fy personal motives or sale individual anger. I now (I think forever) re tire from the Chair Editorial, bid Swaim, Yancy, Craig, Freeman and Watson adieu and once more return my thanks to vou. Respectfully, WM. S. RANSOM. Fitzgcr&ld vs. Ed. J. Williams, -ii which me Jury 'at last No vember term were divided, is promised by the Defen- vi xouu ana costs. An indictment for nn ssi nrr n counterfeit note of the Bank of tne united States was preferred this Court against Abel Turner, and he was convicted. The bill which was counterfeit was tne imitation of a Principal Bank note, to which thi nnmna of the President and Cashier of tne layettevillo branch Bank were forged, and the prisoner's counsel objected that there could be no judgment. Upon this the Court divided, aiul th.. case was sent to the Supreme uunoi me u. states. Star. Shocco Springs. By refer ence to an advertisement in to day's paper, our readers will perceive that Mrs. Ann John son is prepared to accommo date visiters the approaching summer months, at Shocco. These springs have been much resorted to by valetudinarians, and afford in the sultry season, a very pleasant place of retreat from the low country; we would recommend those who are in the habit of spending their sum mer months north, to save their money, and repair to Shocco, where no pains will be spared by the proprietor, to rnnder their lime agreeable. Hal. Con. Raleigh, May 18.The Cir cuit Court of the United States for the district of North Caroli na met in this city on Saturday, and adjourned on Tuesday. Present, Chief Justice Marshall and Judge Potter. One of the most interesting cases on docket, of Reuben ?We regret to observe that Win. Gaston, Esq. has publish ed a card in the Newborn Spec tator, announcing his desire not to be regarded as a candidate to represent the citizens of that town in the next General As sembly. He adopts this course frojn a conviction, "that he can render, at the present moment, no services to the State at all commensurate with the sacrifice of professional, domestic and personal duties, which a conti nuance in the Lemslature must necessarily occasion." ib. Raleigh, May 18. We stop the press to announce the per petration of a shocking murder, in the immediate vicinity of this place, last night. About dark, as the wife of Mr. John Su was sitting in her own house, she was shot at and instant ly killed. There is no doubt that the deed was commit ted by a son of her hus band, by a former wife, who has but recently returned after an absence of many years from this region. lie immediately fled and has not as yet been ap prehended. The murderer was so near to his victim that her head and neck are literally torn to pieces. The family lived unhappily, and no doubt the fa tal deed had its origin from this cause. Register. burning of a barn, were execu ted, agreeably to the sentence ot the Court, on Saturday, the bin mst. Newton, who was convicted of burning a barn, re ceived a pardon from the Gov ernor. Salisbury Car. Horrid Murder. The Mil ton Spectator says: On Friday evening last, Mr. Sidney Mer rJtti who lives about a mile from this place, came into town con ducting a negro woman by thej ame or Amy, the property of oiepncn Dodson, Esq. (fur wuom lie is the overseer) char ging her with having murdered in a most shocking manner an infant son and only child of his, aged about two years. The child Was found Hf;i(l. with ite head cut open, and an axe lying near it. On the way she con fessed the commission of the murder, and on beiii interroga ted as to the cause, stated "that the devil had persuaded her to Kill it. bhe has been lodged in jail and will doubtless have her trial during our Superior Court now sitting. shin OThe United States Ontario arrived in Hampton Roads, from Gibraltar, after an absence from the United States for nearly three years. She brings news that Mr. Nelson, charge d'affaires of the United States to the king of the Two Sicilies, has effected an arrange ment with that Government for the payment of the claims of our merchants for spoliations on our commerce. Portsmouth Rail Road. We learn from the last Norfolk Beacon that the citizens of Portsmouth had subscribed to the capital stock of the Rail Road Company $48,000, which added to the town subscription makes 898,000 30,000 had been subscribed by the citizens of Norfolk, and 10,000 by the citizens of Suffolk. pMr. William R. Hill, of this city, has been appointed by Governor Siokes, his private Secretary, vice Mr. John B. Muse, resigned. ib. CT'We are informed by a friend just arrived from Green ville, that, at the suggestion of Henry 'Poole, Esq. the County Court of Pitt (now in session) has resolved upon erecting a new, Handsome and substantial brick Court House. The res pectability and wealth of the county, with the increasing prosperity of Greenville, fully justified and required the adop tion, of such a measure. Washington Union. Fifth Electoral District. Thomas Settle, Esq. of Rock ingham, has been nominated as an Elector for the 5th Electoral District. He will vote for the candidate of the Baltimore Con vention, as Vice President. The Hon. Bedford Brown has been appointed a Delegate from the same District to the Balti more Convention, in the place of Robert Galloway, who is prevented from attending, "in consequence of a family afflic tion." Halifax Adv. Execution. Charles, who was convicted of the murder of a child at our late Superior Court and Daniel, who was convict ed of being accessory to the Indian Hostilities. The Ed itors of the Norfolk Beacon have "been favored with the fol lowing extract of a letter, dated Vandalia, (Illinois) 20th April: "To-morrow morning at day light we leave this town on the Black Hawk expedition. Black Hawk has again blocka ded Fort Armstrong with about 2000 Indians, and neither suf fers Gen. Gaines to pass nor repass the fort. The Governor (John Reynolds) sent an ex press from St. Clair county, who arrived this morning, for 50 men from this county, and I have the honor of being one of the number. 1 saw a letter from Gov. Reynolds to our Ad jutant Gen. staling that he had received a letter from Gen's. Atkinson and Gaines informing that unless immediately relieved their situation would be despe rate. To-morrow morning we parade on the public square, and march hence to Beards town, 125 miles from this place, where we shall organize our troops, &c. G?"The National Intelligen cer contains a Card from W. S. Coodey, in behalf of the Cherokee Delegation, denying the statement that they had consented to recommend to their people a removal. G7The Macon (Geo.) Tele graph states, on the authority of a gentleman just from the Che rokee .country, that the Agent employed by Government in en rolling the names of emigrants has been more successful than was to have been exnected. Nearly 800 have departed for the western country, and, whe ther a treaty is made with the Chiefs or not, he thinks that the most of them will be indu ced to emigrate. He has no doubt that at least 1500 will be ready to go by the ensuing Au tumn. The late decision of the Supreme Court instead of re tarding, is said to have been an auxiliary in inducing the Indians to enrol. At a meeting called by the Chiefs to have the deci sion read, the Indians were not so satisfied as was expected, and the Agent succeeded in en rolling between 30 and 40 names. All the Indians, not concerned iu the government, agree in believing that it will be for their interest to emigrate. Sheriffalty.

OY a resolution of the Board of Trustees, made some years since, ;he 4th Thursday of June was made the day otCommencement. By some means a mistake has occurred in the apprehension of many the present year, and the third Thursday, which will be the 21st of the month, has been supposed to be the day.
