IWWLJJ H ftjji Hi iMWTgW towam SATURDAY, JULY 29. -18Sr. THE ELECTION". On Thursday last, the polls were opened in this county, for the .purpose of electing a member of Congress, a State Senator, and Clerks of the Superior and County "Ccurts. The official statement of the polls is as follows: Congress Loufrs D. Wilson (Kep.) 11C7, Edward Stanly (Whig) 78. State Senate John Mercer 200, Spen cer L. Hart ICO, (neither of them candidates.) Superior Court David C Bell 611, James Wr. Clark 40G. County Court Jo seph Bell (no opposition) 70G. Those marked thus, . elected. The state of the polls in the differ ent districts will be found below. fX7We learn verbally from Pitt that Mr. Stanly's mnjority in that county is 206 in Beaufort, up wards of 500. OyWre see with surprise and regret, in the Washington Whig of last Tuesday, the stale charges issued against Gen. Wilson in 1829, in regard to "Land Specu lations," set forth in full and em bellished with some random and abusive remarks by a correspon dent, under the signature of "A citizen of Beaufort," We learn also that within a few days past this Congressional district, with the exception of this county, has been literally flooded with hand bills of the above description "arid with others treating of the same subject, signed 'Tyrrell." The issuing of these handbills on the eve of the election, when it was impossible for the want of time to' meet them with rebutting testimo ny, exhibits in glowing colors the reckless efforts of the Whigs to ensure success. We may be beat en in this contest, but the mortifi cation of defeat will be nothing in comparison to the deep regret and humiliation the Republicans fee! in witnessing the rapid progress which the system of "all is fair in politics," is making amongst those who, while they profess to absorb "all-the decency" in society, man ifest so little regard for it in their political contests. tt?Dr. G. C. Moore, of Hert ford county, is the Republican candidate for Congress in the first district, in opposition to Mr. "Sawyer, Whig. The Ashborough Citizen an nounces Capt. Micajah Cox, as a candidate to represent that district in the next Congress, in opposi to Mr. Rencher. OFFICIAL STATEMENT, Of the Polls in the different districts in the County of Edgecombe.

We see it pro posed, in the Virginia papers, to hold a Convention of the Banks of the United States, at the town of Baltimore, on Monday, the 1 8th of September next, for the purposeof devising means to bring aljout a resumption of specie pay ments. The proposition is wor thy the serious attention of all banking institutions, that liave any regard for moral honesty, or any respect for public opiniou. ib. Mandamus Case. The Court having affirmed its jurisdiction, the Postmaster General has taken an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and entered into bonds for the prosecution of the appeal. ib. Rail Road Accident. We learn from a correspondent, that a dread ful accident happened on the Pe tersburg Rail Road, a few days since. The cars were descending a Plane, about 14 miles from Pe tersburg, with a full head of steam, which the Engineer persisted in increasing, though warned by his assistant of the probable conse quences. Indeed, so confident was the assistant of the eminent danger,that he retired to the back of the train. In a few moments, the Engine ran off the track, up set, and killed the Engineer dead on the instant! Fortunately, no one but the reckless author of the mischief suffered The Compa ny had been desirous for some time, it is said, to dispense with the services of the Engineer, fear ing some - accident might ensue from his carelessness.

Pow ers of Onslow county, that bis daughter Pauline, a girl of six years and a Tialf old, spoke to him, for the first time since she was born, on the 24th ultimo! He does not say, but we presume such to be the fact, that his daughter has resi ded with him during the time of this singular silence. Mr, P. is a schoolmaster, and the child has attended his school for several months, reciting herlessons regu larly to her brother, to whom and to others "she talked freely," al though she found it impossible, as she now says, to speak to her fa ther before the day above men tioned. Newbern Spec. K"Cotton is selling at New Or leans at from 9 to 1 1 cents. No Jess than 23,000 bales were lately cleared for Great Britain by the agent of the United Stales Bank, and seven ships were loading with it for the same destination. As there is but little stock in first hands, the prices are better. JV. T. Star. rlVe learn by an Express slip from the 'office of the New Or leans Courier, that at a meeting of the Directors of the State Bank held on the 1 6th inst. it was "Resolved to pay specie11 for its notes of the following denomina tions: For the 5, 10, 20, and 50 dollar notes, the amount in full. On $100 notes, $50 in specie; on $500 notes, $100; and on notes of $1,000, $200 in specie. It was thought that several other banks in New Orleans would fol low the example of the Slate Bank. Pet.

That is, about one dollar in specie to four teen dollars in paper, due on de mand. When can it be paid? lift ft ft When can these hanks resume specie payment? We leave it for them to determine. JV. Y. Star. Important Decision in Connec ticut. The Supreme Court of Connecticut has decided that a slave is free the moment his foot touches the soil. The case came up last week for decision under a writ of habeas corpus, bringing before the Court a female slave of Mr. Bulock, of Georgia,, who was temporarily sojourning Jin Hart ford, for the purpose of delivering her from the control of her mas ter. After a full hearinc of conn sel .on both sides, Chief Justice Williams, as the organ of the Court, is. said to have delivered a clear and learned opinion showing that by both the Constitution and laws of Connecticut, slavery can not exist even temporarily in that State. In pursuance of the deci sion, the slave was set at liberty. 1 his decision is substantially the same as that recently made in a similar case, by the Supreme Court ol Massachusetts, m rela lion to that4Commonweallh. Newark Adv. FROM FLORIDA. We have the following via Charleston, under date of Si. Au gusline, July 16th: Information was received some days since froni Fort King, that gang of Indians, 17 in number had gone .there. They visit their friends, the Creeks, freely, and say they have strict orders not to mo lest any of the whites, or commit any depredation upon their prop-' erty. They state, that vneu veu. Jesup rode up from Tampa to Fort King, he passed witnm w paces of them. It is Gen. Jesup's plan to keep them quiet, if possible, during the summer, ana in we meantime nr is endeavoring so to post the troops, with a regard to their lealth, and to hold themselves in readiness to act according to cir cumstances, with efficiency and promptness. Fie has sent for some ol the nor thern Indians, Miamies and Shaw- nees, and now the Choctaws, as we stated some weeks since. There is much speculation a- t mong us, as now anu wnen our war will terminate, and whether the Indians will emigrate or not in the fall. Whatever be the result, we must await it patiently. A detachment of mounted vol unteers was mustered into service by Capt. Webster, on the 13th, for the period ofG months, under command of Lieut. YVhiiehurst. N. Y. Star. Another Murder. With feel- ines of deep regret we are com- pelled to announce the murder of Capt. L. Gilleland, of Alabama, a few days since. His horse was found dead on the road from Su wannee to Newnansville, with his hat and blanket beside his horse. On the information reaching New nansville, a party was sent out to search for his body, which was found at the Itchotucky springs. to. More Troops. The New Or- eans Picayune says that a requi sition has been made upon Louisi ana for a regiment of troops to go into the Florida service early next fall. Raleigh Star. North- Western Indians threat ened Hostilities. By the treaty of 1832, in which the Sacs and r ox es ceded their lands bordering on the Mississippi to the United States, generally known as the Black Hawk Purchsse, govern ment pledged itself to pay tliem $20,000 annually in specie, and to furnish them with a certain quantity of tobacco and salt.. In the treaty of 1830, ceding the lo- way reserve, similar stipulations were made. Hitherto govern ment has faithfully performed its contracts, and the Indians have been perfectly satisfied, and of course entirely friendly to their white neighbors. But it appears from a letler from S. 11. Davis, Esq. editor, of Peoria Register, that in consequence of pecuniary embarrassments, the government has been unable the present year to meet its engagements with the Indians. They repaired to Rock Island, in June, to the number of 400, to receive their annuity, but to their utler astonishment, they found no preparations had been made to receive them, and that not even the Agent was there. They returned highly inflamed, and it is feared will break out into open hostilities. Indeed, they have already committed some de predations on Skunk river, (be low Burlington,) by driving off two or three while families, and they have also killed some cattle belonging to settlers on the Iowa.

The news of the suspension of specie payments was received in Liverpool on the 10th of June. The New York Courier states that the news caused no panic.
