Resolved, That although the Constitution secures to Congress the exclusive jurisdiction over the district ceded by the Stales to the Federal Government, jet we should deprecate any action on the part of Congress, towards liberating the Slaves of ihe Dis trict, without consent of their owners, as a breach of faith to war is those States, by whom the territory wr.s ceded; and will re gard such an interference as the firi step toward legislative action with regard to their property.

Resolved, That although by the Constitution, all legislative power over the District of Colum bia is vested in the Congress of the United States, yet we would deprecate any legislative action on the part of that body towards the liberating the slaves iu the District, as a breach of fdtli to wards these States, by whom the territory was originally ceded, and will regard such interference as the first step towards a general emancipation of the slaves of the South.

(UA young man of genteel ap pearance, evidently deranged, came to this place on Saturday last, about midnight and put up at one of the taverns, where he has continued ever since. He says that his name is Holmes, and that he is from Halifax, North Carolina. He is riding a good horse, and has, we understand, some money with him. Nothing satisfactory as to where he came from (except what .we have alrea dy stated) or where he is going, can be elicited from him. He appears to be laboring under a deep melancholy, which h;is de throned his reason and rendering him an object of compassion. We have thought it proper to take this notice of him with a view of inducing the North Carolina pa pers lo copy it that it may come under the notice of his friends, and that ihey may take the proper steps to secure the unfortunate man from the perils of his wander ings.

Having sold out their load, they had proceeded on their way a lew miles, when Mr. Gordon ac cording to the request of Mr. Hunt, laid said Hunt in the wag- gon (in a state of intoxication) and covered him up in his cloak he Gordon then drove on until lime to get breakfast, when he called on Mr. Hunt to know what he would have prepared to eat; he to his great astonishment, re ceived no reply; he was then led to examine the cause, when on examination he found him a life less corpse. Gordon then endea vored in several places to get as sistance in having something done with the body, but could not ob tain assistance; he then drove on to Enfield, a distance of 12 miles, when as before stated, Mr. Gor don gave himself and the body up to the Coroner. ib.

Dreadful Accident: Four lives lost. At a corn shucking, in the county of Surry, at the house of J Leonard Scott, sen'r. a few days since, a Son and Uranuson, 01 Mr. Scott, also a son of Mr. Sprinkle, a neighbor, and a ne- 1 gro man belonging lo Mr. Sprin kle, were suddenly killed by the 1 falling of a crib, into which ihey 1 were throwing corn. The house was quite narrow and high, and the j wind blew 11 over and caught them I under it: ihey were all dead before they could be extricated. Six o- ther persons were caught and wounded, some of them seriously, but we are glad to hear that ihey are all considered out of danger. What seems a little singular, is thai ihe danger of their situation had been observed, and spoken of, but not sufficiently appreciat ed; the negro man replied jocular-. ly on the occasion, that if a negro girl could make her escape, -that he could.

Bellamy, late President of the Legislative Coun cil. The parties were stationed sixty yards apart, with four pis tols, to advance and fire Capt. While advanced and received three shots, without injury, and then fired, at the distance of fif teen paces. His first shot passed through Col. Bellamy's arm, the next through his body, and, in the act of advancing with the other two pistols, he received a mortal wound from Col. Bellamy's fourth pistol. Capt. While died almost immediately, and Col. Bel lamy was not expected to survive. These gentlemen were candidates for the county of Jefferson and Capt. White had been returned as elected. The duel is supposed to have grown out of their political contest. Indian 'Disturbances. -The Charleston papers inve a state- 1 mei1i of the depredations commit inhabitants ' of East Florida. The Mercury says "we have con versed with Capt. Wiley (just ar rived from St. John's) and learn from him, that a large portion of the territory has been desolated by the Indians, they having made a descent from that part of the ter ritory occupied by them, and swept every thing in their route, from Valusia to Black Creek, on the main road and also from the same point to Lake George, and down the St. John's River to Black Creek, burning all the dwellings in their course, and murdering such of ihe inhabitants as had not previously made their escape.

The Evening j?tar says: In ihe hurry, confu sion and distress of the moment, calculations of the amount of damages were loosely hazarded at 25 or 30 millions of dollars. Persons, having the means of knowing, and being perfectly col lected on the occasion, do not estimate the loss beyond fifteen millions. We should say. it wil not go much beyond that sum as a considerable quantity of pro perty was saved, added lo which. the stock of dry goods at this sea son of ihe vear, and prior to ihe commencement of the spring bu siness, was low. The loss on the French goods generally, will fall heavily on the Lyons manufac turers, as an immense amount destroyed was on consignment; and a considerable sum was insur ed in other cities. The amount of insurance stock in this city, is o ver eleven millions; aud if ihe whole is involved, it may meet, nearly, the entire loss, but carries with it ruin lo the widows and or phans, and whole families whose all is invested in these companies FOREIGN.
