SATURDAY, FEB. 20, 1836. IMPORTANT. (jpWe have ihe gratificat ion to announce in this paper the ac ceptance by the French govern ment, as well as our own, of the friendly offer of fireat Britain to act as a mediator in adjusting the difficulties between the two na tions which it appears was simul taneously made to both parties. The following annunciation of the acceptance of the mediation, is ex tracted from the French King's Speech, on the opening of the Chambers, on the 20th Dec. 'I regret that the treaty of the 4ih of July, IS31, with the Uni ted States of America, should not yet have received its complete ex ecution. The King of Great Bri tain has offered to me and to the United States his friendly media tion. I have accepted --arid you will share in my desire that this difference should terminate in a manner equally honorable to two great nations." President Jackson's special mes sage on the same subject, was transmitted to both Houses of Congress on the Sth insf. aud is as follows: To the Senate and House of Re presentatives. The Government of Great Bri tain has offered its mediation for the adjustment of the dispute be tween the United Slates and France. Carefully guarding that point in the controversy; which as it involves our honor and indepen dence, admits of no compromise, I have cheerfully accepted the of fer. It will be obviously impro per to resort even to the mildest measures of a compulsory charac ter, until it is ascertained whether -Frame has declined or accepted the mediation. 1 therefore re commend a suspension of all pro ceedings on that part of my Spe cial Message of the 15th of Janua ry last, which proposes a partial non-intercourse with France. While we cannot too highly ap preciate the elevated and disinter ested motives of the offer of Great Britain, and have a just reliance upon the great influence of that Power to restore the relations of ancient friendship between the United Stales and France, and know, too, that our own pacific policy will be strictly adhered to until the national honor compels us to depart from it, we should be insensible to the exposed condition of our country, and forget the les sons of experience, if we did not efficiently and sedulously prepare for an adverse result. The peace ofanaliou does not depend exclu sively upon its own will, nor upon the beneficent policy of neighbor ing Powers; and that nation which is found totally unprepared for the exigencies and dangers of war, al though it come without having given warning of its approach, is criminally negligent of its honor and its duty. I cannot too strongly repeat the recommendation, already made, to place the seaboard in a proper state lor delence, and promptly to provide the means for amply pro tecting our commerce. ANDREW JACKSON. Washington, Feb. 8, 183G. CONGRESS. Senate. Mr. Calhoun from the Select Committee to whom had been referred that part of the Pre sident's .Message in relation to the transmission of incendiary public ations by mail, made a report, ac--commpanied by a bill in relation to and to prevent their transmis sion. He acknowledged that ihe Committee were not unanimous as tn all the views contained in the report. Sotni- agreed to one part, others to another; i majority how ever, were agreeable to the propri ety of the bill. The report and bill being read,! Mr. Manguni moved that 5000 extra copies of both should be printed, which was agreed to, and the bill ordered to a second read ing. House of Representatives. The consideration of the Appropria tion bill for the service of Gov ernment in part, was then resum ed, the question being on its final passage, and motions to 're-commit the hill. Mr. Hannegan proposed to a mend the motion, referring the bill to the committee of the whole house, with instructions to inquire, 1st. Into expediency of remov ing the Seat of the Federal Gov ernment to Cincinnati or Louis ville. 2nd. Into the propriety of call ing the absentees when the yeas and nays were called. od. That members absent should not be paid when absent, and L 4th. That member's pay should be stopped whenever absent, oic. Mr. Boon moved the previous question, which was ordered, and the bill was finally passed. The House -'suspended the rule for the purpose of taking up a resolution submitted by Mr. Ren cher of N. C. providing for the appointment of a select committee of 24, to inquire whether any and what alterations are necessary, in relation to the pay and mileage of members of Congress, and also, whether any legislation is necessa ry to limit the contingent expen diture of the House, which was agreed to. (JA new post office has been recently established in this coun ty at Pill's X Koads, under that name, of which Col. Joab P. Pitt is appointed Postmaster. (PWe are exu iMin-ly to witness the 'a-.A tn ml grnlifi;'(! -ltd hy our citizens in behalf of the Wil mington and Roanoke Rail Road. If the Road should pass in this vicinity, a heavy subscription will unquestionably be obtained here. We have not heard the amount already suhsenbed in this county, but we learn that ihe Nash sub scription has been increased to a- bout 30,000. From the Halifax Advocate. The Wilmington "and Halifax Rail Road. Mr. Editor. The public need some information up on ibis proposed Road, and as your paper circulates in a commu nity which ought to feel in it the deepest interest, I have selected its columns in order to aflbrd it. In the year 1833, a rail road from Wilmington to Raleigh was chartered with a capital stock of $800,000. This was called the "Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road," and it was to run "from some point within the town of Wilmington or in the immediate neighborhood of the said town, to the City of Raleigh, or the imme diate neighborhood of the said Ci ty." Tiie stock in this Road, not having been taken, and, it being deemed by many highly advanta geous to the welfare of the State to run a road from Wilmington to the Roanoke ihe aforesaid char ter was so amended at the recent sossion of our Legislature, as to allow the road to run from Wil mington to some point "at or near the river Roanoke." The now contemplated route of this road, is from Wilmington to the termination of the Halifax aud Weldon road; but not with standing this nronosed chance of route from Raleigh to Halifax, is. is still called the "Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road;" because thus it is styled in the original charter. Subscription books are now o pened for this route. In Wilm ington $250,000 are already sub scribed, and more than $20,000 along the route. In every instance, however, the subscription is ac companied with the express condi tion that the route is to be run fm . rr tuntngiUH 10 XiailJaX. ! The distance is about one hun ; dred and forty miles, over a very icvci i-uuiury, covered with the finest and most durable materials for constructing the road. The course will be almost a north and South line, and passes through the counties of Halifax, Edgecombe, Pitt, Greene, Lenoir, Duplin and New Hanover, and will nearly touch many other counties lying adjacent to these. The route being through a choice section of the eastern half of our State: Cotton, grain, staves, pork, turpentine, tar and a thousand other productions which will spring iiito existence as soon as freightage shall become cheap. In this view, it. is most emphatically the farmer's road. In another, it is the traveller's road; for it is intended to add to il a line of Steam boats from Wil mington to Charleston, whose trip will be performed in about 12 hours. There is already a rail road froin Charleston to Augusta so, that if the road from Wil mington to Halifax shall be com pleted, there will be a steam boat and rail road way from Saratoga Springs. Such a prospect as this, founded as it is upon sensible and indisputable facts, ought to excite the general interest and awaken ihe universal attention oi the far ner, merchants and cap-talist throughout ihe entire eastern sec tion of our State. The books are now open in Halifax, and many other places, for subscription, and il is earnest ly hoped lhal no one will he back ward, in lendiug his aid to this truly noble and patriotic work. Jl Citizen of Halifax County. Halifax and IVeldon Rail Road. We learn that all the contracts for this Road were let out on Saturday last, according to pre vious notioce, and that the dif ferent contractors intend com. mencing operations forthwith. Raleigh aud Gaston Rail livid .A Central Meeting of the SlncMiolilers of ihi Compmy was lieid in llti. City on Thursday last, for ihe purpose of electing a President and five Directors to manage its concerns. On motion of Judge Cameron, Weston R. Gales was appointed Chairman and Edmund L$. Freeman, Secre tary. On motion, it was resolved, that a Committee of three persons be appointed to ascertain the aggre gate amount of stock subscribed; what proportion of if is represent ed by proxy, and also to prepare a scale showing the vote to which each Stockholder is entitled, ac cording to the terms of the Char ter. The Chair named as this Committee, Thomas P. Devereux, William Uoylan, and Samuel Mordecai, of Petersburg. The meeting then took a recess un til 3 o'clock, P. M. At the hour designated, .the Stockholders reassembled, and Mr. Devereux, from the Commit tee above mentioned, made a de tailed Report, stating the whole amount of Slock subscribed lo be upwards of 5,500 Shares or S550,000of which number 3, 011 Shares were represented by proxies. The Richmond Stock, amounting to more than 600 Shares was not represented. A scale of votes was also submitted. The Report having been accepted, Mr. Devereux moved as preli minary to going into the election of a President, that the salary of that officer should be fixed. He enlarged upon the necessity of having at the head of Ihe Compa ny a thorough. going business man, of practical talents, and urg ed the allowance of such a com pensation as would not fail to en sure the services of an energetic, capable President. He proposed in conclusion, that the salary be i fixed a( $2,500 per annum. Mr. Richard Smith thouerht this allowance loo great, and ex pressed his conviction that the services of a President, possessing the requisite qualifications, might be obtained for a less sum. He moved to fix the salary at g2,000. Judge Cameron thought, with Mr. Devereux, that $2,500 was not too large a salary for the ser vices which the President would be expected to render, and pres sed upon the meeting the import ance of having a proper person in that office. The question being first put on 2,500, it was decided in the af- firmative by a large majority. Judge Caueron nominated President of the Company, Geo. W. Mordecai, Esq. of this City, and as Directors,1'" the following gentlemen: William Roylan, - -M.mas P. Devereux and Charles Manly, of Raleigh, and William Plummer and Joseph W. Haw kins, of Warren. On motion of Mr. White, the name of Richard Smith, and, on motion of Mr. Smith, the name of William Peace were added to the nomialion. A lullot was had under the superin tendence of Charles L. Hinlon and E. P. Guion, and on count ing the same, il appeared that Mr. Mordecai was unanimously cho sen President, and that Messrs.- Boylan, Devereux, Manly, Plum met and Hawkins, having each a majority of ihe whole number of voles given in, were, elected Di rectors. On motion of Charles L. Hin lon, resolved, That the President and Directors be requested lo urge the prosecution of the work to as speedy a completion as is practicable, wilh due regard to its execution in a durable and proper manner. The meeting then adjourned. It will thus be seen that this great work has been begun under the most auspicious circumstances; and the public have, in character of the gentlemen to whom its prosecution is entrusted, the most ample guarantee that every thing will be done as it should he done.

(jpThe Columbus (Ga.) Sen tinel states that the threatened war with the Creeks is over, the principal Chiefs having invi ted Gen. McDougald to attend a Conference at Fort Mitchell, at which they agreed to the follow ing stipulations: "We the undersigned Chiefs of the Creek Nation of Indians, do hereby pledge ourselves to re strain our young men in future from passing over into the Terri tory of Georgia at any place pio hibited by law, that we will re strain them from committing de predations on the persons and pro perly of the pecple of that Slate, and if in future any such depreda tions shall be committed, we will aid with our tribe in arresting the offenders and delivering them to the civil authority of Georgia; and we further pledge ourselves to cause all properly stolen bv the Indians to be brought to Fort Mitchell, aud delivered to the commanding officer where the owner can identify and get the same; and that we will cause to he dispersed all such Indians as ; are now or may hereafter be assem bled on the frontier of Georgia."

Fortu nately for him the ball merely grazed the vital parts of his body, and being small, and probably discharged from a rifle, but par tially bored, did not tear the flesh as one discharged from a first rate rifle "vould have done. As it was, the shot brought him to his knees, but to fall mem at full length, and until the' ball, which lodged within a hal inch of his back, was extracted, ihe blood issued freely from his mouth. He is now walking aboui and is doing well, and will, I hop-, long live to be an examhle to his countrymen, ifl emigrated from Georgia to this Territory Major C. has left this for home. Lieut.
