SATURDAY, APIIIL 30, 1836. We ore indebted to the atten tion 'of the lion. K. Petligrew, and Hon. J. A. Bynum for several interesting public documents, which can be seen at this office. Much speculation has been a .gain set afloat in this vicinity, in consequence of the unusual ap pearance of the firrmment on Fri day night of tast week. The sky is said to have assumed a solid fiery appearance, and towards morning it became streaked. It has been a wonderful fruitful theme, a inong the timid and superstitious. than seven hundred bills depend j mg between the two Houes ol Congress, some of them of mo mentous importance aud great ur gtcy. Cotton. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, with the tabular and explanatory state ments relative to the. produce, manufacture, and trade of cotton, which were alluded to in his an nual report, and afterwards called for by the House of Representa tives, nave been printed, anu a few extra copies may be purchas ed at the Globe office. This document will be found to contain a vast amount of curious and interesting information. Cot ton has become a most important subject in connexion with the so cial, political, and financial condi tion of the several nations of the civilized word, and must occupy a large space in modern statistics. The arrangement of these practi cal views of the changes and re sults of the use of cotton for a scries of years, in such a manner Fire. But little doubt is enter tained, that it was the work of air incendiary. ib. (CPA Stone-cutter, by the name of George Page, a foreigner by birth, died very suddenly, in thf?

Speed the Mails. il appears thai arrangements are about being entered into, to facilitate the trav el between New York and Rich mond, and the South generally, to Mobile, New Orleans, oic. By this arrangement, it is con (emulated that travellers leaving New York in the morning,. will reach Richmond the next day in the evening; and, according to our estimate, we shall receive the Northern mail in Raleigh by 5 or 6 o clock in the morning, in Virginia Elections. The Pe tersburg Constellation states that the aggregate returns now are, 40 Democrats and 37 Whigs -and remarks that the Democratic ma jority may be slightly decreased in the House of Delegates, but upon joint ballot they still count upon an ascendancy of at least 20 Totes. ton THE TARBOBO' PAS3. Mr. Howard: It is encourag ing at all limes, and more especial ly so in this age of political phrenzy, to see a free people manfully but respectfully evinc ing a determination to sustain the noblest monument of human free dom on earth, a government which under a beneficent Provi dence distils its blessings like the dews of heaven "like the dews which, descended on Mount Zion, when the Lord commanded the blessing for ever and evermore." I can but faintly describe the feel ings with which I witnessed the proceedings of the Van Buren and Johnson meeting at Mr. James 13ridgers' on Saturday last. The ! assemblage was large and respec table. Upon the return of the committee appointed to draft the resolutions, Dr. Daniel in an able and. most feeling address explain ed the nature and object of the resolutions. Benjamin R. Mines, Ksq. in a speech of some length enchained the attention of the laige audience by the masterly and soul stirring strains of his elo 'quence. He went, he said for his country, his. whole country and nothing but his country. He de precated a schism in the demo cratic ranks, for which purpose he believed Judge White to be either the dupe or knave of the piebald opposition. As to Mr. Webster it was a waste of time to stale any reasons why he should not re ceive our support. As to Gen'l. Harrison he happily used the latin quotation "de minimis non curat, '&c.,',:. He does not care about lit tle things. The Chairman and Secretary acted with much propriety and tlignity, and a more orderly meet ing I never witnessed. All ap peared deeply interested and paid the most profound attention. All retired in good order but with evident marks of satisfac tion, at the manner in which the proceedings had been conducted. (Q Will not our fellow citizens in the other counties of this Elec toral District friendly to our cause lend us a helping hand. VOX POPULI. that the whole can be perceived i stead of C or 7 in the evenings almost at a glance, was certainly a as is the happy thought, and those who are accustomed to reflect upon such subject?, will undoubted feci themselves under obligations to Mr. Woodbury for the light he has thrown upon the produce, manufacture, and trade of cotton throughout the world. Globe. The Rail AW. We learn that the country, so far as the sur vey has been made, is almost a perfect level. Some little time was consumed in finding the most suitable places for crossing the River. We understand that three sites have been selected, either of which will answer very well; and we suppose that the particular crossing will depend mainly upon the face of the country on each side of the River. . The survey ing party have got through with the examination necessary for the purpose of crossing the River; but where they will cros is a se cret, we suppose only known to themselves, until the Principal Lngmeer, Maj. Gwynn, shall de termine upon the location. We are informed that a better route, so far, could not be expected or even desired.-Wilmington Adv arrangements. ib. case under the present Rail Road Slock.

Ral. Register. INDIAN WAR. (TfFrom the Florida War we have no news of interest since our last, The pnly account received from Gen. Scott was 2 days after he had Iett ort Drane, at which time he had met with no Indians. Report says that Col. Lindsey, in marching to join Scott, had fallen in with a large body of Indians, fired upon them once, when they immediately fled, leaving 30 dead on the ground. ib. Steamer E. D. Macnair. We have been informed by ihe Captain (Chamberlain) that this boat made her second trip to Greensville, on Wednesday last, laden with merchandize: she left the wharf al Washington, at 4 past 6 o'clock a. m. and arrived at Greensville at 12 M. where she remained three hours discharging her freight. and returned to Washington about 6 o'clock P. M. of the same day making five hours and a half going, (against a strong current,) a distance ofa- bout 30 miles, and three hours to return in, being at the rate of ten knots an hour. Some doubts have been entertained as to this boat's answering the purposes for which she was intendeu, but the good people of Tar river need no long er doubt....

The Indian tribes with in our territory having been chiefly removed beyond the Mis sissippi, this accession to the pow erful Camanches and other tribes in that quarter, renders them for midable to our border settlements. A new line of the military en trenchments, out posts, garrisons, &c. must now be taken upon the prairies, to watch the movements of the savages. A plan to (his effect extending along the confines of Missouri, Arkansas and Loui siana, has recently been brought into the U. S. Senate. We shall require a substantial addition to our present military force. CONGRESS. The Public Land bill, and the bill to prohibit the- transmission by mail of incendiary publications, are consuming a considerable por tion of the time of the. Senate. The General Appropriation bill is still before the House of Repre sentatives. The House has not yet. acted upon the Senate's proposition to adjourn ou the -23d of May. Any thinking reader will be able to determine what probability there is of adjournment at that day, when he. is informed that, beside the business yet before committees, theie are no fewer Texas. By an arrival at New Orleans, it is ascertained, that Col. Fanning, being anxious to join Gen. Houston, had blown up his fort at Goliad, and completely demolished the town. A decisive battle was expected daily. The Mexican force 5000; that of the Texians 2500. Santa Anna lias prosecuted his intention of exterminating the Texians. AgreYably to his posi tive and personal orders, none are exempted from slaughter, of any sex or any age over ten years. Previous to blowing up the fort at Goliad, on the 23d March, the Georgia volunteers, consisting of 150 men under Col. Ward, attack ed a body of 600 Mexicans at Refugo, 250 of which are reported to have been killed and the rest routed. -jb. KJA very valuable Mill, lne property of Mrs. Miall, 0f this county, was entirely destroyed with its content?, last week, by War with the Camanches and Pawnees. The troubles some time since anticipated with these powerful and numerous tribes, have at last broken out. An ex press reached Gen. Arbuckle at his command, Fort Gibson, Ar kansas territory, in the beginning of March, staling, that in conse quence of Gen. Dodge not having returned at the appointed time, as he had promised in his expedition last summer, they had (as we had previously been informed) torn up the treaty, and murdered all the traders, at Gen. John Coffee's Trading House on the Grand Prairie, comprising 50 or 60 A mericans, and some Creeks and Osages. Gen. Coffee, though warned by Tabaquina, a fierce Ca manche warrior, of Svhat was a bout to happen, persisted in re maining The 7th infantry at Fort Gibson will now be reinforc ed by the U.

The stale of things among the Indians generally, seeriCt to ren der an increase ol Ihe army in dispensibly necessary. We are satisfied that the best arrangement which can be made, with -respect to all the Indians living within our settled frontier, is to remove them without delay. The . pro position made by the Secretary of War to the military commit tees of both Houses, seems to us to present the best plan which can be adopted for protecting our set tlements against Indian depreda tions. This plan proposes that a military road should he opened from somewhere near Si. Pettis, on the Mississippi, to Red river. That a cordon of posts should be established along this road, sup plied with proper garrisons, and with ail the munitions of war, and means of subsistence, necessary for immediate operations. That the dragoons should be kept rang ing along it during all the open season of year, and thai all the garrisons be transferred to it as soon as the removal of the Indians from their ueighboi hood will permit- As the subject is interesting to the western country, we shall publish this report as soon as we can find room to do it. inglou, Texdl says: lingswoi lh; Ool; Cars - Present condition of the Cur rency. The money market is seveie beyond all former example. Three per cent, per month, is a common rate of discount for the best commercial paper. Ex changes, instead of being al the rate o 153-4, and previous, have advanced to prices which are ruin ous. At Cincinnati, drafts on New York have been sold at a premium of six percent. At New Orleans at premiums of from three to five per cent. Corresponding prices are charged at various points throughout the western and southern country. Our internal commerce cannot support this state of things; and if some adequate relief is not af forded, the most disastrous conse quences must follow. N. Y Star, April 19.

Int. Very Important to Southern Towns. Air. Bechller, a very in genious and useful Mechanic of Rutherfordton N. C. informs us that he is in possession of an en gine for extinguishing fire, which is equally as efficient as those now in use, the cost of which is only S20; that it can be worked by one person, and is so durable that it will need but little repairing in a long time. He says that for wash ing windows, pavements, and for irrigating gardens during a drought it would be worth the mo ney. He says it will throw water over any house with great force and that the readiness with which it can be brought into play, while the fire is yet small, makes it pecu liarly a desideratum in the South ern Towns. He adds thai he has had the engine tested in Uuther fordton and could send certificates but pVefers sending us one to cer tify for itself. He does not stale the fact, but we conjecture that he is the inventor. Mr. Bechller's very respectable standing for in tegrity and mechanical skill, makes his communication highly interesting.
