In the Legislature, however, the Republicans confidenlly ciaim the ascendancy, but by a very 'small majority. These results must powerfully impress upon their minds the necessity of increased vigilance and exertion, which will eventuate in a glorious triumph st the Presidential election in No vember next. The Legislature. We are grat ified in being able to assure our friends, as to the Legislature "all's well." The majority for Van Buren in the House of Com mons will be at least two, and probably four. Besides, amongst those claimed by the Whigs, thtre are several in favor of the admin istration, and who prefer Mr. Van Buren, but in respect to the senti ments of their constituents, will feel themselves constrained to go with the opposition in questions of national politics, though not in mere party measures. In the Senate, the opposition will have a bare majority. But while a ma jority of the counties have voted the Van Buren ticket, the opposi tion, owing to the party arrange ment of the Senatorial Districts, have succeeded in nearly every instance in which more than orre county had to elect. In the Sen ate, too. Mr. Harriett is a repub lican, and not only stands pledged to vote against Mangum, but to abide the principles of instruction, j His two colleagues are for Van I Buren; his county gave a large majority for Spaight as Governor, and will most certainly vote for Van Buren; so that he will not only vote with the administration parly for Senator, but on all ques tions of national politics. We congratulate Ihe country, there fore, not only the certainly of bavins that political incubus, XV. P. Mangum, removed from the Senate, but his place supplied by a sound democrat. That our friends abroad may fully under stand the political complexion of our next Legislature, we state that the Senate consists of 50 members. Whigs 25 Van Bu ren 24, and 1 representing a Van Buren county, pledged to vote against M nnjjurn for IT. S. Sena tor. The House of Commons consists of 120 members: Gl cer tain for Van Buren 58 claimed as Whigs, and one county lo hear from, in which we expect a Van iJuren Member. Hal Stand. (TfMr. Graham is elected to Congress by a large majority over ben. fewland. M614 votes. l'he Register slates thai the Whigs have thus "secured the vote of State against Mr. Van Buren, should the election unfortunately go to the House of Remesenla- lives." Not so fast if you please. Mr. Graham stand pledged not only to vote with his district, but in a contest between V;in Buren and Harrison, to vote for Van Bu ten. So Mr. Auzutus H. Shcn- perd pledged himself lo vote as his district may for President; and if the vote for Governor be a test, Van Buren will receive the vole of that district by more than 500 majority, ib. 2JParlial returns have been received from the elections in se veral of the South-western States, and they are thus far very flatter ing lo the Republican cause. In a week or two we shall probably be enabled lo give the final result. homely." We doubt not there are thousands now in the far west that are sighing for their "home, sweet home," in the old North Stale; and would also gladly re turn, did not pride or poverty prevent them. jJit appears by the following that our statement last Week rela tive to the fire in Halifax, was partially incorrect: Awful Calamity by Fire. -On Wednesday morning last about day-break, our citizens were a woke from their slumbers by the awful cries offre! On arriving at thespot, it was discovered that the Jail was on fire. It was set on fire by the prisoners, for the purpose of making their escape. There were five persons confined in the Jail at the time of the fire. One white man named William Boseman, a maniac was burnt up. The other four made their escape. George, a negro man belonging to Geo. W. Barnes; and a white woman, by the name of Susan Slade, were caught Thursday night, and carried to Northamp ton Jail on Friday. They stated that all the prisoners escaped, with the exception of the deranged white man. Sharper, belonging to N. Thompson; and Starke, be longing to Jas. Williamson, have not been taken. It was thought on the morning of the fire, that all the prisoners were in the Jail, and every exertion was made to break in and rescue them from the flames. The Jail was burnt to ashes, and but for the dampness of the weather at the time, our whole town, we fear, would have shared a similar fate. Halifax Adv. Petersburg Market, Aug. 29. Cotton. Dull sales at 14 a 17c. the transactions are. in a very limited scale, and confined alto gether to home manufacturers. Int. Horrible Murder. One of the most shocking murders, which it has ever been our lot lo record, wa perpetrated in this city on Monday last. James Ierry a shoemaker by trade, formerly of very industrious and sober habits, hut for some time back subject to fits of excessive intoxication, mur dered his wife at mid-dav in a most brutal manner. She was sit ting in a room with an infant in her arms, in the presence of her husband, sister and niece, when the former suddenly rose up, sei zed ihe corner post of a bedstead and gave her a most violent blow. She made an effort to fly, but he pursued and. repealing his blows, finished his bloody work. He then attempted to overtake the other females, who immediately fled on witnessing his murderous designs, but fortunately they elu ded his grasp, or we might have to add to the number of his vic tims. Terry was arrested on the spot, and is now in jail to answer the charge. Three children-are left to feel the loss of both their natural protectors, at the same mo ment, though they are too young to experience the extent of their affliction in all its horrors. At the time of the murder, Ter ry was not in liquor, but was most probably suffering from a derange ment of mind caused by the ex cessive use of it. He had been in a protracted frolic, but for two days had drank nothing, and is said to have been laboring under what the physicians call delirium tremens. Raleigh Reg. He is now in the same dungeon with his father, and will probably be tried at the next Court! -ib. Norfolk, Aug. 22. It will be seen by the advertisement of Ihe Portsmouth and Roanoke Rail Road Company, that the daily line of cars will leave Portsmouth at h past 7 o'clock, A. M. (and will wait for the Baltimore and Washington boats until 9) and reach Gary's Depot, the present termination of the road, to dinner. Passengers may then be conveyed in four horse post coaches lo Hali fax, N. C. At Halifax, there are regular lines of stages to Tarbo rough, Fayelteville, and Raleigh. Passengers for Edenton, Plym outh, &c. will be taken from the cars at Black water bridge by the steamboat Fox. On the return, coaches will leave Halifax at 8 o'clock, A. M. and reach Gary's Depot to break fast, and thence to Norfolk in time for the Baltimore and Wash ington steamboats, which will en able passengers to breakfast in ei ther city the following morning, dine at Philadelphia, sup in New York, and taking the Providence steamboat reach Boston lo break fast Ihe third morning after leav ing Halifax, N. C. This is expedition which would have been deemed impossible a few years since, and which is wor thy of praise at all times. We are happy to see it stated in ihe advertisement, that the rail road from Weldon to Halifax will be completed during the present year, which will add proportion ally to the public convenience and the profits of the Rail Road Com pany. Beacon. Cotton Crops. The Green ville Mountaineer informs us that ihe Cotton Crops throughout the middle and upper districts of! South Carolina, bid fair to pro duce a full average supply. In Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi ana, it is supposed that not much more than half the usual quantity will be made, and in Florida the crop has almost entirely failed. (yit is calculated that Virgi nia loses this j-ear by the failure of Ihe wheat crop, not less than two millions of dollars. 32294 272S7 Dudley's majority, 5007 (3 We were in hopes to have given our readers in this paper a complete statement of the votes for Governor, but the above is all that we could get. We are beat en, truly, but not discouraged. Gen. Dudley has been identified Emigration. On Thursday last a cavalcade consisting of ten or twelve wagons and carts, con veying several families with lots of children and negroes, passed through this place. We were gra tified to learn that they had left Hyde county, in this Stale, some time since on a pleasure excursion to the west; and having satisfied themselves that "the land is not so good, the climate is not so good, and their health not so good," as they had been accustomed to, they wisely determined upon retracing heir steps having realized tha "home is home, be it ever so Murderer Arrested. About twelve months since, John Whit- aker was killed in this city by Merrill and Levi Miller. The former was arrested, tried, convic ted, and is now under sentence of death in the jail of this city Ihe latter made his escape. A month or two since, the Executive of Ihe Stale issued a Proclamation offer ing a reward for his apprehension On Tuesday last, Constable Mur ray received an intimation that he was concealed in the house of a female relative in the suburbs of ihe city. He immediately re paired, with his assistants, to the house, rushed up stairs, discover ed the object of his search, and secured him before he could make any resistance, had he intended it. INDIAN WAR. ftT'Lale accounts from Florida inform us that Maj. Williams was killed by a body of 200 Indians, while on his way from Blank Creek lo Nonardsville- that the Seminoles were very much exas perated against him for having killed one ol their tribe in a dis pute about cattle previous to the commencement of hostilities. Almost all. the regular troops at Micanopy are sick,-and the seve ral stations almost totally unpro tected. An escort had lo be fur nished from a volunteer company to guard the baggage train from St. Augustine to Picolata. A letter received in Charleston, dated Micanopy, Aug. 2, says: The troops are now busily enga ged in evacuating Fort Drane. They are removing to this post, supposed to be a healthier one. We hear nothing of a summer campaign, and I can't tell in fact whether Gen. Call intends to make one or not. One half of the troops both at Micanopy and Fort Drane, are unfit for duty. They are broken down by fever and ague. If nothing can be done this summer, as 1 very much fear, 1 trust in heaven that we may be more fortunate next winter than ihe last. If Gen. Jessup takes the field, he will take it with greater advantages than Gen. Scott had; i wiih a better knowledge of the j country, obtained durins ihe last1 campaign, and with troops too j wnom he can keep all the fall, win- ter and spring in the field. al marine is how reduced- to Ihe Ml Viucedor. The Mexican army were sickly and discontented, and ihe disa greement between iheir leaders continued. " The Texian army were in good condition, and num bered upwards of 2,500, and were daily increasing. Sanla Anna was still closely confined. (QA duel was fought on the 13th inst. opposite Vicksburg, Mississippi, between a Mr. Qu vall and a Mr. Cunningham. The former was shot through the heart at the first fire, the latter narrowly escaped; the ball of his antagonist having passed thro' his clothes. Pet. Con.

The white gentleman was given twenty-five on his back, and sentenced lo leive in twenty-four hours.

The fire broke out in an unoccupied house. ib. TEXAS. Ad vices from New Orleans lo the 3d inst. inform us that tile port of Metamoras "is now in a state of blockade. Capt.

Liver pool papers to the 26th July have been received at New York by Ihe packet ship George Washing ion. The political intelligence is unimportant. The makets for American prodece continued dull, without any material variation in prices. Notwithstanding the tempora ry derangement of the money market, all the great branches of English industry are evidently in a slate of unexampled prosperity. In France, the preparations for the celebration of ihe nxih anni versary of Ihe revolution of 1830, are this year in Paris on a scale of unprecedented magnificence. ' Alibeau, who attempted lo as sassinate Louis Philippe, was exe cuted on the guillotine on Ihe 1 1th of July. He bore his fate with much firmness. His last words are reported to have been as fol lows: "I die for the Republic. 1 repeat that 1 had no accompli ces. I am as pure as Brutus and Sanet, and like them, wished for the liberty of my country." Advices from Spain show that the Queen's troops have met with some reverse. On the 1 1th of Ju ly, Gen. Evans at the head of 8000 troops attacked Fontarabia, which was stoutly defended by the Carlists, who numbered about 4000. Alter meeting with partial success ihe British troops were compelled to retreat with consid erable lossi Several women were seen during the engagement fight ing bravely on the side of the Car lists. The accounts from the As turias were, on the whole, unfa vorable to the cause of the Queen. The Sultan of Turkey, in con sequence of the representations of the English ' Ambassador, in the affair of Mr. Churchill, has dis missed Ihe Reis Effendi, and thus removed all apprehension of diffi culty between Great Britain and Turkey. which is truly rh:1rt,..-.
