Elrrtion on Thursday, the 10th November next CI? We did not issue a paper last erk, in consequence of the disability of our principal assist ant. Wc shall endeavor to guard against a similar failure hereafter. C5We hear numerous com plaints of the general prevalence of ague and fever, and bilious com plaints, in the low er section of the State. It is a general remark in i this vicinity, that the number of any ,hjn jkp ,he J)lpspnl prj; cases is unprecedented for several ces can be obtained. They cer ytars past, but happily few of them lainly cannot earn the interest on have proved fatal. Since the rain . of last Saturday night the weath er has become cool and pleasant, and we trust our citizens will soon regain their wonted health. fjln consequence of the extra ordinary hot dry weather for se veral weeks past, after unprece dented rains in the spring and summer, our neighboring towns, we learn, are visited with much sickness bilious attacks in gene ral; and a number of cases have proved fatal. Our town and 'vi cinity, owing to the same cause, are also suffering. Although the prevailing sickness is chiefly a mong children, yet several adults have been, and others are .now, prostrated on the bed of affliction; and some have gone to that bourne from whence no traveller will ever return. JVashinrrton ll'ii". Health of the Town. We nev er before knew, during our resi dence here of many years, a sea son in which there existed so ma ny cases of bilious fever among the citizens of Newbern as at the present. There are but few fami lies in town who have escaped, and although most of the cases have been of a mitigated charac ter, many have been extremely se vere and protracted, and we grieve to add that several have proved fatal. JYewbern Spec. Darin Outrasre. X ntm lmv named Jesse was commuted to the! jail of this county on Sunday eve-! ning last, charged with having made an attempt to violate a white orphan girl on the morning of that day. The circumstances, as rela- ted to u, are these: Miss Worthington, the girl as-1 saulted, had set out from her un cle's, accompanied by her cousin, another girl, for the purpose of visiting a sister of the former at Mr. Prescot's, on Core Creek. The negro overtook them on the road, and after having made seve ral inquiries, such as what were their names, who were their fa thers, he. he seized the larger of the two, and forced her into the woods. The other fled towards ber father's, for the purpose of Riving the alarm. Happily for ihs unfortunate girl it, the woods succor came sooner than could have been expected. Judge Don iell and G. S. Altmore, Esq. were on their way to Lenoir Court, and arrived near the spot before the negro had accomplished his base design. As soon as he saw the carriage approaching, he returned to the road and pursued his way as if nothing amiss had happened. When the weeping girl had infor med the gentlemen of what had ta ken place, they immediately pur sued and captured the negro, and on the evidence of the two girls, the Judge committed him, as a bove stated, to await his trial for the ollence. The girl, it is said, is about fourteen years of age, and the negro but a little older. ib. (3 Lemuel Turner, charged with the murder ol Capt. .1. H. Harwell, who removed his trial from this place to Warrenton, and thence to Oxford, was tried a !he term of Oxford Superior Court, ami sentenced to be hung, a" will he seen from the annexed extract from the last Oxford Ex aminer: 14 The Superior Court was in session last week, and the princi pal business was the trial of Lem uel Tinner, for the muider of ('apt.

At Wadesborough, on Tuesday last, negro fellows, wc learn, soM for 1300 dollars, and not very likely at that: there was a credit ol 12 months. A feehnjr honorable to our nature withholds the most ol us from parting with this kind of property, hut it would be the true interest of this country to send rnr lilii'o nnntilril inn in I bo Ssnulb heir present value Salisbury Watchman. New Branch Bank'. We learn that we are to have a Branch of the Slate Bank at this place, lo go into operation early in the ensu ing month, and thai Mr. John C. Ehringhaus ha- been appointed Cashier. Elizabeth City Times. TEXAS. (JCapt. Taylor, of the Texian Navy, and formerly of this town, left Mobile on the Gt h inst on a journey northward. His object is to raise funds for the purchase and equipment of a brig of war to op erate in behalf of Texas ngainst the Mexican forces. The city of Mohile has furnished him with a bout Si 2,000, and wc hope that the Carolinas ami Virginia will, by their co-operation, raie 1 lie a mounl necessary lo effect his laud able design. Capt. Taylor will in the course of his tour, revisit New bern, where he will meet with the warmest good wishes of his old friends for his success in the cause which he has espoused, and for which by bis ability, zeal and, bra very he is so well fined.

Petersburg Con. Petersburg Market, Sept. 23. Cotton: Since our last publication three hales of new Cotton have been received in . mat ket, one ol which brought 16 2-3 cents; the price at which the others were sold, we did not learn. Prices re main about the same as last stated by us. A parcel of good lo prime sold two days ago at 1 5 a 1 6 cents. Stock on hand is becoming some what reduced. Con. INDIAN WAR. (Jplt appears that Generals Je up and 'Armstrong, (the latter with the whole Tennessee volun teer force,) have repaired to Flo rida. We may now expect, un less the maladies of the season prevent, that the Seminole war will be closed before the meeting of Congress. A letter from Flor ida says: "The Tennessee troops in Georgia, with the regulars un der the command of Geceral Jes sep, amounting in all to from 2,500 to 3,000 men, are expected here in a few days." Globe. (JThe Columbus Ga. Enqui rer says: A regiment of 600 Creek Indians has been formed at Tus kegee, and regularly mustered in to the service of the United States for the purpose of going to Flori da to fight the Seminoles. Capt. J. F. Lane, at this time Aid lo Gen. Jesup, has been appointed to the command of this regiment of natives, with the rank of Colonel; and Paddy Carr has been promo ted lo the rank of Maj-;r; this warrior, together with Jim Boy, will also accompany ihe expedi tion. This army will move for the scene of action forthwith. rJ There will soon be warm work in Florida. Oseola is said to receive regular intelligence of all Ihe movements of the whites takes Ihe 'Floridian' through some degenerate white man has every thing translated for him and is mustering a stout force lo fall down upon the devoted inhabit ants of Florida. In the mean time, Gen. Jesup is equipping some more mounted volunteers, and the whole of Gen. Arm strong's Tennessee brigade will be on the banks of the Wiihl.i cooche in short order. Hot work may Be expected for Ihe Ten nesseeans know what the are a boul. We may momently expect to learn something decisive. Norfolk Ucacon. Mary land. Great excitement exist" in Maryland in consequence of the following circumstance: At the icent election, 21 Whigs and 19 Republicans were chosen by the people to appoint 15 Stale Senators. The Conxtiiution of Maryland required these Electors to meet at Annapolis on the 3d Mond.iy in September, and that they or any 24 of Ihetn so met, should proceed lo elect by ballot, 15 Senators, &c. The Republican Electors refused lo n.eet Ihe Whigs, and Ihus no election could be made. The Republicans de clare that ihe provisions of the Constitution in relation to Elec tors of State Senators are unequal and unjust; and that they repre sent a nutjoriiy of the voters of the Slate. This somewhat novel proceedure has given rise to much speculation as lo its ultimate re sults. i t ii MARRIED, In this county, on Wednesday evening last, by Rev. William II y man, Mr. Joshua L.

In this place, on Thursday, 22d ult. in the 10th year of his age, IVilliam, son of Mr. Thomas Smith. In Nash county, on Ihe same day, aged about 64 years, Mrs. Mary Bellamy, wile of Rev. William Bellamy. In Ihe town of Halifax, on ihe 15th ult. Mrs. Maria Bynum, the amiable consort of the Hon. Jesse A. Bynum, Representative in Congress from that district, af ler a violent attack of congestive bilious fever, which she bore with Christian fortitude & resignation. Departed this life, on the 9ih nil. at ihe residence of Mr. Isaac Hilliard, Halifax county, Doct. John T Hilliard, aged 34 years, late a graduate of the Medical College at Philadelphia. Dr. Hil liard had been absent from his re Iations about 12 months. He re turned to his brother-in-law's (at whose house he died the 1 5th August, where he remained in the full enjoyment of the society o' his near relatives, whose constant attention during his wfilietions equalled if not surpassed any thing of a like kindness. His af flictions were very :evere, which terminated his earthly career on the eighth day. . The writer of this obituary notice, from the ac quaintance he had with ihe decea sed, can testify in favor of his great moral worth. His general deportment in life was such as lo enable him to share largely in the affections of his intimate acquain tance, which was numerous, not only in his native Slate, but else where. Pr. Hilliard professed to be a believer in the realities of the Christian religion, and so'pray ed with the spirit and with ihe understanding also," as to give strong testimonials of that prepa ration so needful in Ihe hour of death. His surviving relatives, and friends that were present, are happy in Ihe belief that his "light afflictions which were but for a moment, marked out for him a far more exceeding & eternal weight of glory.' As lo his . earthly prospects, the' were truly flatter ing and abundant, but we believe he has exchanged all these for joys more noble; happiness f hot shall have no end, evermore in the pre sence of God and his saints.
