SPAIGH V. COUNTY CANDIDATES. Election on Thursday, 28th July. General Assembly For Senate, Tuos. H. Hall. House of Commons, John. J. Daniel, Ralph E. Macnaik, James George. JWe this day again unfurl the Republican banner, inscribed with the names of the Democratic candidates for President and Vice Preidni of the United States, to gether with those of the Electors in the several districts in this Stale -two districts are vacant, but will doubtless soon be filled present ing an array of talent, worth, and public services, that cannot fail to give confidence to the democracy, insure their unanimity, and con sequently, a glorious triumph. We also add the Democratic candidate for Governor of this Slate, and a list of our county candidates for the General As sembly. The next Legislature, be ing the first under ournew Con stitution, the Kaleigh Slandard presents the following weighty suggestions in relation thereto: The Electioneering Campaign. The candidates for the Legis lature in most of the counties are already before the people. The next session is to be one of great importance, as respects the busi ness that is likely to be brought before the Legislature; and on that account should awaken the people to a proper sense of their duty, as its political character may in a great degree give tone, if not settle that of the State for years lo come. Mr. Mangum's Successor has to be elected; and as the Whigs are in honor bound to sustain him, (if their honor binds them in any thing,) the di rect question is submitted to the People, whether they mean to sup port or surrender the right of in struction. If they mean to sanc tion the doctrine, that, once elect ed, the Senator holds under the constitution, and is not to be con trolled or influenced, much less governed by the will of his con stituents, then let. them vote for those who will, say what they may, vote for Mangum. But if they intend to sustain the great principles of representative gov ernment, that cardinal point in the faith of every democrat, obe dience to the will of the constitu ent then let them elect those who have proved themselves as true friends and snpporters of our present republican Administra tion. Let them not be deceived. The wh.gs are playing a flee desperate and artful game. The ' will compromise when they kno,v themselves in a minority, show no quarters when they have a majon iy, and shift and equivocate when they can gain by such duplicity. They will cry "huzzali for Judge White, Me southern candidate," though they may have voted for Adams, and Clay, and are still at heart for Webster. They will talk loud about the South and ahv lition tho1 they may have ad vocated the Tariff, the Bank, and even voted for John Sargeant, and are now co-operating with the supporters of Harrison and Gran ger, the inveterate and uniform opposers of southern men and measures. We say to our friends, be on your guard those who pro fess the greatest neutrality, are the hottest partizans. The Slate is saved, if the people suffer them selves not to be deceived by artful c hollow professions. More anon. Tarboro" Academy. The ex amination of the students in the Tarboro Female Academy, under the charge of Miss Iiagsdale took place on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday last. We always take pleasure in attending Miss Ragsdale's examinations and bear ing evidence to the public of the success and high character of the school. It was attended by large auditory, many from the adjoining counties, who were gra tified by the proficiency and the display of so many interesting young ladies. On Wednesday evening the musical department afforded us a rich entertainment, in which the various performers sustained their part well. The pieces of music were judiciously selected, and ad mirablv pertormeu. Anil, on Thursday evening, the scene was closed by a complimentary part) to the young ladies of the Acade my, which notwithstanding the heat of the weal her was largely attended, and allorded an aneea ble conclusion to the interesting incidents of the week. flThe Hon. Henry L. 'Pinckney, of Charleston, S. C. will deliver the next annual ad dress, before the two Literary So cieties of the University of North Carolina, on Wednesday, the 22nd inst. the day proceeding commencement. (J!r.

Phiro Whitethe sole responsibility and control of the Editorship, howev er, remaining with the latter. The office of the Wilmington Advertiser is transferred to Joshua W. Cochran, Esq. CONGRESS. Senate. Mr. King, of Ala. obtained leave to introduce a joint resolution authorizing the Presi dent lo direct rations to be furn Lshed from the public stores to the citizens flying from the Indians. He introduced his request by sta ting that he had information on the subject, which satisfied him not only that such a resolution was necessary, but that it was due to humanity, that it should be promptly passed. The joint res olution was then introduced, and was read twice and ordered to be engrossed. It was afterwards en grossed, read a third time and passed. House of Representatives. The Land bill has been Lid on the table in the House, by a deci ded majority, from whence sever al unsuccessful attempts have been made lo take it up. No day for adjournment has yet been fixed upon. Raleigh, June 7. Supreme Court. The Sum mer Session of this Court will commence in this City on Mon day next. Reg. JewPost OJJice at Bassville.... A new Post Office has been estab lished at Bassville, N. C. in Nash County, and Wm. D. Tisdale, Esq., has been appointed Post Master. Halifax Jldv. Snow in June. The last Ox ford Examiner states that snow fell at that place on the 1st inst. Wilmington and Halifax Rail Road We copy the fol lowing highly interesting article from the last Portsmouth Times: "We have seen and conversed with several gentlemen from the line of this road, from whom we learn that the survey is now pro gressing, and the fitness of the country for the proposed work, is established beyond doubt. In Wilmington and the neighboring country, upwards of four hundred thousand dollars of the stock have been subscribed; and the spirit which prevails in that region, au gurs the success of the scheme. The Directors have wisely deter mined to commence operations, simultaneously, at each end of the road, so as to expend between Halifax and Tar river the amount subscribed this side of the river, and, at the other end of the road, the amount raised in that neigh borhood. Tar river is but 27 miles from Halifax, and we learn that the counties lying upon it, arc among the most fertile in North Carolina, yielding, annual ly, about 15,000 bales of cotton for market. A rail road then of 27 miles in extent, connectii with the Halifax road, will divert the products of that fertile region to Norfolk and Portsmouth. Then will the good people of the two totims, permit advantages of so much importance, to be reaped and exclusively enjoyed by oth ers, when they can reach and com mand them by a little rail road of twenty seven miles, the cost of one half ol which is already sub scribed? Will they permit an en terpnse ol so much promise to their own interests to languish for the want of a Utile aid? Will Norfolk continue to advocate the visionary scheme of a rail road lo Edenlon, at an expense of. four or five hundred thousand dollars, which, at most, can only divide the transportation of ihe produce already secured to her by the ca nal, when other and much more advantageous schemes invite her capital? It will be recollected, that the construction of the Wilming ton and Halifax road, will at once establish the great Northern and Southern line of travel by the Portsmouth road, and place it be yond the reach of successful com petition from rival works. We invite the good people of Norfolk and Portsmouth to look well to this subject. Now is the time for action." General Scott. ...We observe with extreme regret the unmerited censure, which some of the south ern presses are casting upon this gallant officer. Without examin ing into the causes of the failure of the campaign against the Semi noles, without knowing the diffi culties against which he contend ed, they heap invective upon a brave man, because success does not always crown his efforts. They should remember that this is the first time his countrymen have witnessed his failure, and gratitude for his past services should prevent inconsiderate re proach. They should consider the late period when he was called into the field, the innumerable de lays which the inclemency of the season at the north offered to the transportation of the troops, and the indispensable supplies for the army; the interference of others, by which his plans were defeated, and his movements retarded; and the unknown and impracticable country in which he had to ope rate.... Globe. INDIAN WAR. General Scott. We deem it an act of justice to this officer, to publish his recent General Order: Orders, No. 4S. Head Quarters, Jlrmy of Flo rida, St. Augustine, May 17, 1836. The panics which have recently possessed the good people of sev eral large districts of this Territo ty are infinitely humiliating. Within a few days, just five Indians penetrated a neighbor hood in the heart of Middle Flo rida and committed a murder. Instead of giving pursuit, the in habitants abandoned their planta lions and fled to Tallahassee. A similar party had but a few days before thrown the Miconopy settlement into the utmost confu sion. A gang of cow stealers nd roitly added a report that an im mense fresh Indian trail had been observed crossing the Tallahassee road, near the Santa Fe bridge. The whole countrv from Micono- py to Black Creek, instantly be came wild with fear. The daring falsehood was immediately ex posed by Col. Fitzpalrick, and Capt. Shannon, of the army, who happened to pass that way, toge ther with the motive ol the propa gators; but the inhabitants could see nothing but an Indian in eve ry bush, and therefore continued to fly. On this side of the St. John's a keen susceptibility of the same kind prevails. A small party of the enemy lately ventured within the settlements. A company of regularxfoot was promptly mount ed, sent in pursuit, beat the ene my and secured most of the pro perty the marauders had taken. Now, although it i known to all coll people, that the greater num ber of the party were killed out right, and that a like fate awaits any body of the enemy that may follow, a panic is rife throughout the country; the inhabitants are still flying lo St. Augustine, and from St. Augustine to Georgia and South Carolina. It is evident that no General, even with extensive means, can cure a disease in the public mind, so general and so degrading, with out some little effort on the part of the people themselves, i hus the planters in the recent case near Tallahassee, who fled without knowing whether they ran from squaws or warriors, ought first to have ascertained that material fact. If they had turned upon the ene my, they would have found the case within the easy compass of any three or lour resolute masters and half as many overseers. This was the simple and manly course That adopted was lo fly, to spread the panic and to throw ex ecrations upon ihe General who has the misfortune to command a handful of brave troops in the midst of such a population. Not a regular company has been sent out of the Territory, ex cept possibly three for Tampa Bay. Besides a strong garrison Ihere, two companies were direct ed thence to occupy a post on the Suwanee: two are posted at Fort King; five at Fort Drane; one (mounted U. S. dragoons) at Oak lands, six miles off; one at Mico nopy; and a twelfth at Garey's Ferry. These forces ought, in the opin ion of the commanding General, to give reasonable security to the Alachua and Suwannee frontiers particularly if one or iwo com panies of mounted men can be ob- ; tained to aid the company of dra- mi scwuimg wie uuuniry oe- tween the chain of fixed posts. Measures have been taken to en courage the enrolment of mount ed men, and it is understood that the Governor is exerting himself in the same way. His Excellen cy will, however, to complete the means of defence, be requested to hire, on account of the United States, at Apalachicola or else where, a suitable steamboat to ! cruise from the mouth of the Su- wanee up that river as far as prac ticable. One of the companies supposed to be already on the riv er, will be instructed to embark, and remain on board of the boat. On this side of the Si. Johns, the means of defence, though much more limited, are deemed fully adequate, if aided by a sin gle company of mounted volun leers; and one, it is hoped, will soon present itself for the service. Of the five regular companies, one has already been mounted ou hor ses belonging to the wasron train. and in a few days, another will be put on horseback by the same means. The commanding Gene ral has no power to purchase hor ses expressly for this purpose. The companies on foot will be posted, whilst the mounted will be kept constantly in movement; and it may be added that the little steamer, called The Essayohs, belonging to the United Stales, will be kept daily cruising up and down the St. Johns. The post and steamboat on the Suwanee, Fort King, Oaklands, Miconopy and Garey's Ferry will all be under the immediate orders of the field officer. Major Heile man, stationed at Fort Diane, and he will communicate freely with the Governor of the Tcnitory. Should the post ordered lo be established at Watson's or Dab neys plantation, on the Suwanee, prove to be unhealthy, the com manding officer is authorised to remove higher up the river, in search of a better position, giving the preference lo the left bank ol the stream. TEXAS. From the New Orleans Adverti ser of May 23. In the schooner Flora, arrived yesterday, came passengers, Gen. Samuel Houston, Commander-in-chief of the Texas army, for the purpose of obtaining medical ad vice, being badly wounded. By him we have the official confirma tion of the capture of Santa Anna, and also of the battle of April 21st. Former accounts are sub stantially correct, Santa Anna was at Velasco under a strong guard. The army was left tinder com mand of Rusk, Secretary of War, who had General. been elected Brigadier The Texian force is said to have accumulated since the battle to 1500 men and had advanced lo and were crossing the Brazos, flushed with Victor'. The Mex ican army under Seizma and oth ers had all concentrated and amounled lo 2500; ihe remnant of 7000 men that entered Texas. They were crossing the Colorado by rafts and swmming, and were in the utmost confusion, Ihose who escaped having reported that the late battle was fought by 5000 Texians; Colonel Burleson was close to the enemy, with 200 Cavalry and they were retreating before him, all was panic and con fusion in the Mexican army. General Santa Anna had offered an armistice which had been re fused, he had made further offers lo acknowledge the Independence of Texas, making the Rio Grande the boundary line, and remaining an hostage until the Government of the United States should con sent Jo guarantee the Ireaty, and it should be approved by the Mex ican Senate. Texas was consider ed safe and the war ended; ihe Mexican army would probablv be totally destroyed. Gen. Houston has a cane presented him by Sanla Anna and also his saddle; he had been recognized by Gen. Zavalla, and hundreds of others had iden fied him. The Mexican prison ers also shouted when he was brought in, "Vivo Sanla Anna." Matagorda, Valasco and Brazo ria had not been burnt. Mexico. We learn by a gen tleman direct from the city of Mexico, that the death of General Barregan, President pro tem. had occasioned great confusion at the Capital. All was anarchy and uproar. Riots and murders were common in the streets-. The Swedish consul's house was rob bed and himself murdered. San ta Anna had not yet left the Army on the 15th of April, but it was thought he would hasten to the capital on hearing of the state of affairs there. The Liberal party were secretly engaged in exciting a revolutionary movement, and were expected daily to break into hostilities. The less wary did not hesitate openly to denounce Santa Anna and his government. Cincinnati Post. The South again victorious on the Turf. -The great trial of speed between the North and South came off the 31st ult. on the Union Course Long Island I ihe Southern horse winning the ! two first heats, the first in 7 miti. jutes 49 seconds, the second in 7 minutes 512 seconds. We ex tract the following ' particulars from an article in New York Courier: Never since the great race be tween Eclipse and Henry, has the sporting world been so much exciled. Confident of success, the partizans of the North had for some days past been most liberal in their bets in order to induce the Southern sportsmen to back Iheir favorite steed, but vvithoul effect.
