EWtiou on Thursday, the 10th Nov ember next. - MMHHBBSfSSMMM1 1 fXWe invite attention to the communication on our first page from Mr. Sidney Weller, on the American system of vine culture. Mr. Weller is one of the most per severing, enterprising, and exten sive vine cullurisls in this section of country; and consequently his opinions on subjects connected therewith, are entitled to reat weight. Should any of our read ers wish to procure some of his vines, we would gladly render them any assistance i n our power. 1 (pWe have received a pam-! phlet copy of "An Address to the) Freemen of North Carolina," is sued by the Republican Presiden tial Committee. We will endea vor to insert it entire in our next paper, notwithstanding its great length. The time for electing Presidential Elettors is rapidly approaching, and the Republicans should be on the alert; fir as the partial success of the Whigs in the August elections induced them to take to hard eating, wc are appre hensive that should they prove successful in November they will take to hard drinking, which would be lamentable indeed. C7The President left the Her mitage on the 1 1th ult. on his re turn to Washington. It is said that he proceeds by the way of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania &i Alary land. A safe journey to the old Hero. Pet. (.'on. OCMons. Pontais, late.

At the last term of the Superior Court for this county, Judge Dick pre siding, William Itainer was tried and convicted of murdering Wil liam Still well on election day in August last; and sentenced to be bung on 21st October. We understand, however, that in consideration of the mitigatincr circumstances attending the com mission of this crime, nearly the whole community where it occur red have united in recommending the man to the mercy of the Exe cutive; and that His Excellency the Governor has const fluently ex tended a pardon to him. Raleigh Standard. Fatal Encounter. We learn from the Milton Spectator, 20th inst. that Barzillai Kerr, aged a bon IS, wgs killed in that town on the ISth, in an encounter with Johnson Sneed, also aged about IS. Sneerl was put in prison to -uwah his trial. - Anson Svperibr Court. Tl.e Fall Term of this Court concludes its session to day, after a duration ol two weeks, his Honor Judge Saunders presiding. A good deal of business was despatched, of which, the most material is, the trial of Thomas Curtis for killing Thomas Cash in 1832, which re sulted in a conviction of man slaughter. He was branded in the hand and imprisoned for six months. He had fled the county, and was taken somewhere in Ala bama a few months ago. Raleigh Res:. Our University. The steady progress of improvement, in the various departments of this insti tution, must attract the attention of all its friends. Among other Ordinances, recently adopted by its energetic and indefatigable Executive Committee, we are pleased to learn is the following: "That any native of the State, desirous of prosecuting his studies in the Universitj', who shall fur nish satisfactory evidence of good talents, studious habits and exem plary morals, and who shall be unable to defray the expense of Tuition money, may, at the dis cretion ol the r acuity, be admit ted to all the recitations of the Classes, free of any demand for Tuition fees. "Resolved further, that such Renificiaries may occupy the rooms of the College, free of rent, w hen such rooms are not necessa ry for the accommodation of such Students as pay Tuition and room rent fees." W e hope that hereafter, we shall never hear repealed the unfound ed and senseless clamor, that it is a "St hool for rich men's sons on y."ib. Hon. Jesse Speight. We learn from the Greensboro' (Ala.) Hea con of the 14th iust. that this gen tleman passed through that place on his way to Mississippi. We understand th;t he has purchased a farm in that State, sold his pro perty in this, and intends to re move his family thither as soon as possible. jVcubern Spec. Washington Market, Sept GO.

The Editors of the Norfolk Beacon received by the last southern mail the following important "Order," which was copied from the manu script by a friend in Columbus, Si lor warded to them forthwith. Order No. 83. 1 Head Quarters Army of the South, lusceegee, Alabama, 8th Sep tember, 1S36. The Major General command ing has the satisfaction to an nounce to the Army the entire cessation of hostilities, and the movemetiu westward of the prin cipal part of the Creek Nation. He congratulates both Officers and Soldiers, on the complete success which has attended their opera tions throughout the campaign. More than 2,500 hostile Indians, among them upwards of 700 war riors, were captured by the Ala bama troops and friendly Indians; all of whom have been removed to Arkansas, or are in the custod of the civil authorities, wailim. their trial for offences against the laws of Georgia and Alabama. Several hundred Indians who escaped from Echo Hadjo'scamp, in this neighborhood, and attemp ted to force their way into Flori da, were attacked in the most gal lant manner by the Georgia troops and with few exceptions, were de stroyed, captured or driven back to their swamps. The greater part of the Geor gia and Alabama troops, called out for three months, have alrea dy been discharged those thai remain- in service, with the excep tion of Major Nelson's battalion and Captain Hentz's company of Georgia volunteers, will be mus tered, honorably discharged and paid as soon as arrangements for that purpose can be made. The services of General Oflicers of volunteers being no longer re quired, Major General Sanforri and the Oflicers of his Staff, of Georgia, and Major General Pat terson and Brigadier Gen. Moore, with the Officers of their respec tive Siafft, of Alabama, are here by honorably discharged. In se parating officially from those gen tlemen and the officers and troops that compose their commands, the Major General would do injustice to Ins own feelings, were he to omit the expression of the high sense which he entertains for their good conduct and soldierly de portment They have his entire approbation and deserve that of merits can arrive from General their country. Gaines. From certain reports The Tennessee Brigade under j that had reached him, of the Che Brigadier General Armstrong, de- i rokees w ith the native Castilans, serves the highest commendation having returned to the Cherokee for the prompt and eflective man- j village from Matamoras, and say ner in which they have performed ing that the Indians of the Prai the duties that devolved on them, rie, and a Mexican force, are a while they were detained in the bout to attack a portion of Texas, Creek country They are now on their march to Florida, where a determined and active enemy a waits them. The same prompt ness and attention to duty, which distinguished them here, will en sure them victory there. me Keguiar 1 roops, except Major Mcintosh's company, will i proceed to Florida in the course j of this month, or early in October. The order, discipline ami good conduct which they have display- ed throughout this campaign, and the readiness with which every duty has been performed by ofii- cers and soldiers, do them the highest honor. The Marines will be necessari ly detained sometime longer in this country. Both officers and men have acted in the best man ner, and have performed every ' tion, provisions and clothing have duty which has devolved upon j been sent to Matamoras and 4000 them with a promptness and cor- men are spoken of to join the par rcctness, creditable to themselves ' ty stationed there. It seems gov and characteristic of the corps eminent is decided to resume lios The gallantry which prompted tilities against Texas, but we think them to volunteer for service in ! with little chance of success. the field, will be long remembered by the Army, and by none more gratefully than by the Major Gen eral commanding. By order of Major Gen. Jesup. HENRY STAUNTON, Lt. Col. and Adjt. Gen'l. Army of the South. (TTBv the Jacksonville fTlnr.. ' da) Courier of 14th Sept. we learn that Gen. Call, with 1600 mount- ed Tenncssecans, is to take the field and open the campaign im mediately. The late accounts from the seat of Indian depredations; are of a most melancholy character. A large portion of the troops are suffering from disease; and the in habitants are daily exposed to the butcheries of the relentless savages. They had attacked the house of a Mr. Higginbotham, and had Gred upon the inmates; but had been beaten of', and during their flight, when pursued, burnt to the ground the house of Mr. McCormick, 18 miles from Jacksonville, occupied by Mr. Johns and his wife. The pursuing party in examining the ruhis, fountl the calcined bones of a man being burned in the house. Near the house was a quantity of hair, to appearance that of a fe male. They followed .on, and coming to Mr. Sparkman's, found Mrs. Johns her arm was laid o- pen by a rifle ball, her neck pier ced with a shot, and her scalp re moved from her head; though she was able to give the- particulars of the attack on the house. The In dians charged the house and Mr. Johns was shot. She was taken by an Indian, and lold to go, but at that moment she was firefl upon by another, and then, seized and scalped with a butcher knife. Du ring the whole operation she was perfectly sensible. They set fire to the house and one Indian ap plied the torch to her clothes, which she extinguished with her own blood. She made her escape and proceeded as far as a swamp, where she fell exhausted, and re mained till 10 at night, when the father of her husband, Mr. Low der, and Mr. Mclvenny came a long and discovered her. TEXAS. fXBy New Orleans papers of the 1 5th ult. we learn that Gen. Houston has been elected Presi dent, and Lamar, Vice President. Another attempt had been made to rescue Santa Anna by a Span iard, who said he was employed for the purpose by the Mexican Consul of New Orleans. The Texian schr. Terrible, bad taken several Mexican prizes. The ar my, 3000 strong, had removed their encampment to the Gartite, near Matagorda Bay. Gen. Houston has issued a proclamation, calling for troops to sustain the United States forces at ! Nacogdoches, until reinforce- i he is induced to believe that the situation of that section is unsafe. The Texas Telegraph states that since the attempted rescue of Santa Anna, he and Almonte have been put in irons, and free com munication with them interdicted. The captive President made an eflort to destroy himself, by tak- ing a large dose of opium, which produced however only nausea. From Jlexico Extract from a private letter to a commercial house in New Orleans, dated Vera Cruz, 27th August, 183G: Our vessels of war are at sea since a fortnight, to cruize against the Texian pirates. The forced loans of the government are ex torted with great severity now, even from foreigners amrnuui- We learn that great prepara tions are made in Mexico by the Minister of War, to equip com pletely the army of operations a gainst Texas. ' It was generally rumored in Mexico, that the new Commander in Chief of the army of operations against Texas, would be either D. Anastasie Bustameute or General ; BraVo' lhe former has the best ! ProsPtcls 01 ut ,I,S named Late from Europe. London dates to the 24th, and Paris to the 25th August, have been received at New York. They are said to contain no political intelligence of moment. The Cotton markets were rather more animated, and prices improving. A late Liverpool paper states that several agents have arrived there for the purpose of purchas ing Flour, and transporting it to thr United States. COMMUNICATED.

FLAG MARSH FOR SALE. :: THE Subscriber offers for sale his Plantation called FLAG MARSH lying on the south side of J ar River, oppo site to James S. Battle's Cool 5piinn Farm, and Adjoining the lands of Redmun Butin, James AI. Battle, Ltheldrtd Cray, and ollitis, containing 836 Acres, More or less. This land is equal in point of fertility of soil to any tract of land on the river of the same size, and superior to many in being exempt from damage by freshets being above high water mark. There are bet een 3U0 and 400 acres clear ed a good frame house for the Overseer, smoke house, lumber house, barns, 8ia bles, and negro huts. There is an inex haustible bed of Marie in the bank of the river more than sufficient to manure the whole plantation-rTie best niunuie ever yet discovered. The present line of the Wilmington and Halifax Rail Road passes through the up per part of the farm, (woodland;) but it is believed that when the road is located, it will cross l lie river a mile or two above The ra rond will doubtless enhance the value of the land twenty-five percent, or more. Persons desirous of purchasing are requested to call and examine the prcmii es, as such land as this is seldom offered for sale in this State it will certainly not be long in market. 100 acres more of ri ver land adjoining the above, belonging to another person, will be added ii riesiled by the purchaser.
