SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1843. Democratic Republican Nomination. FOR GOVERNOR, LOUIS I. HEXRY, OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY. Election on Thursday. 4th .In. (JVVe are requested to announce JAMES J. VAUGHN of the 14 Regi ment as a candidate for Brigadier Gene ral in the 5 Brigade of N. C. M. (TfVVe learn that on Thursday evening the 3d inst. an inquest was held on the bo- itv nf Jnnnfhfin Callowau. near Hamil j " ton, Martin county. The jury returned a verdict, that he came to his death by wounds inflicted on his head. The decea sed was an intemperate, turbulent person, and at a public sale on the previous Wed nesday week, had Tepeaiedly attacked Ar thur S. Cotten, Esq. who in self defence struck him two or three blows. He fell, and as is supposed, struck his head against the corner of the steps, receiving a blow over the eve which occasioned his death. (JMr. Carey, the Lecturer on Tem perance, it appears is meeting with great success, in various pirts of this State. At Raleigh and Nevvbern, large numbers have joined Temperance societies. At Wash ington, a society was formed, numbering 188 members at Greenville, a society numbering 50 members, &c The friends of Temperance societies elsewhere, also are making great exertions. The Peters burg Intelligencer states, that a society has been formed there consisting of upwards of 800 members. They go altogether en the total abstinence system. Appointments. The following ap pointments have been made by the Presi dent, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Washington Irving, of New York, 1o be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary to Spain. Waddy Thomson, of South Carolina, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico. William Blacford, of Virginia, to be Charge d Aflairesto the Republic of New Granada. Congress. I he Madisonian of the 8th inst. says that the tenth week of the session of Congress commenced yesterday, and as yet gcarcely an attempt has been made to act on any of the great measures in which the interests of the people are concerned. The bill authorizing the pay of the mem bers themselves and of their officers, and the law authorizing the issue of Treasury notes, are, we believe, the only impoitant acts that have passed. In nine weeks, on ly two measures have passed the ordeal of legislation, and both of them were accom panied by very little discussion. All the important bills in relation to the public ser vice, all the great quest ions which are to influence the interests of the country, are slumbering on the Speaker's table, or have not yet emerged from the privacy of the committee rooms. Every one of these will produce, in all probability protracted debates. Mr. Mangum has proposed to reduce the expenditures of the Government to the in come of the revenue, thereby doing away with the necessity of increasing the public debt and Tariff. He is handled without gloves by the Madisonian, on this subject; and Mr. M. says himself that he ha no hope of carrying the matter into effect. (uen. James Hamilton, of S. C. who heretofore sustained a high character, was employed as agent to negotiate a loan in XT' . I I 1 r .1 . ,- Kjuruye on me uuikis oi me James uiver and Kanawha Company, has appropriated to his own private use 380,000. The .Company has petitioned the Legislature of Virginia for a loan of $250,000. The ed itor of the Statesman asks, " What is the world coming to?" Nothing more in par licular we hope it has pretty well "come" already. Ral. Stand.

Star Executive Council. Pursuant to a mil from Gov. Morehead, his Council assem. bled in this City, on Tuesday last, the 8th instant Present, Johnston Busbee, Willie rerry, Allen Uoodwin, and Thomas Mc Oence. The only business which came before the j Council, was the appointment of Members of the Board of Internal Improvement, the Act of Assembly requiring that they shall u ..ollv designated.

The error was one of a typographi cal nature, but one which in these days ol hank failures might lead our subscribers to Mieve that institution on the verge of an explosion, whereas there is not probably a bank in the Union in a more solvent dition. N. Y. Com. Gaz. con Virginia Democratic Convention. The Democratic Convention for the State of Virginia, met at Richmond on the 2d inst. and adjourned on the Thursday night following. There were 147 special dele gates and 73 members of the Legislature present. The Enquirer says: "The Con vention have not met in vain. They have loft clrpima rf liirht hphind them. The Address is one oHhe most masterly pro duclions which has emanated from the ex citement of the times. It will furnish our friends every where as from an armory, with weapons of facts and arguments to nnnonents. The resolutions of Mr. Wallace's committee are a summa ry of apothegms, to be remembered and applied. The organization of the Commit tees is calculated to give force and success to our movements. In a word, we con jrraiulate the country on the assemblage r . . . of this' Convention, on the labors which they have accomplished; the spirit which they have excited &. the bright &. brigh tening" prospects which are opening be fore us. As the Address concludes, so we repeat, " Courage and energy, fellow-citi zen., and a glorious victory anam awaits us." Ral. Stand. (JAnoId unoccupied house on the river opposite Wilmington, (N.C.) was burnt down on the night of the 1st inst. The supposed origin of the fire (-ays the Chronicle) was a little curious. Under and about where the building stood, to an extent of several acres and to a depth of from five to ten feet, is a bank of sawdust accumulated by the steam saw-mill formerly standing there. This bank has been on fire inter nally for many months, occasionally burs ting out, and it is thought that on Friday morning it burst out immediately under the building. Fraud in turpentine Barrels. A cheat of a most contemptible and pitiful character, was perpetrated by a Tur pontine dealer upn one of our distillers of that article during the last week. Upon empt ying the contents of a barrel of t urpentine into the still, it was found that the staves of 'the barrel were from three to four and five inches thick, p ired down at the heads to the usual thickness of staves, with angular inslerstices between the staves, and an incision entirely round the barrel, opposite the bung hole, so that the rod of the insp ector might meet with no obstacle, and tnai tiie banel upon inspection might shew the (apparent) guage required by law. JScwbem Spectator. Rapid Depreciation. It is stated bv a Correspondent of the "National Inteligen cer," that when the Bank of the United States was in full credit, the Capital invest ed in all the Philadelphia Banks stood thus: Bank of the United States, $35,000,000 Omrd Hank, Bank of Pennsylvania, Schuylkill Bank, Aggregate Capital of all the other Banks, 5,000,000 2.500,000 1,000,000 10,200,000 Total Banking Capital, Fifty three millions, S53,700,000 seven hundred thousand dollars, actually paid in, was the Banking Capital of that City only three or four years ago; or, rather, no losses having been then demonstrated, such was taken to be the sum in its original integrity. Now the exhibit stands thus: Total original Capital, 353,700,000 .Capital hdi-ved to be 8iink in Unittd Slati-, Girard, Pennsylvania, and Schuyl kill Banks 4J,500,000 1510,200,000 Of these remaining Banks, numbering n. bout a dozen, the stock of only three now brings within 50 percent, of the par value; and, according to the latest quotations, the average selling price of all together may be set down at not more than 40 per cent., which is amply liberal. This reduces the above 510,200,000 nominal Capital of the Banks which are still in operation to an actual sum of 84,800,000 sav five mil lions of dollars showing loss of more inan ninety per cent, ot the aggregate Cap- uai sioc oi uie rnuaueiphia Banks which, with a single exception, were deem ed solvent within twelve months past ! - - w.v, w LLiauun ui una one species of Stock, no small portion of which was owned by citizens of that Citv and Stat J approaches very nearly to fifty millions of dollars a depreciation vast beyond alUus- picion, and rapid beyond all precedent. (PThe Florida Assembly has passed a resolution, by a vote of 18 to 5, declar- in-that the Union Hank of Florida should be forthwith placed in a state of liquidation The public debt of Florida, in conse quence of bank liabilities, amounts to about four millions of dollars. The people want iho lipnpra 1 (lovprnment to assume the responsibility. fTT'The N. Y. American states that draft of our newly appointed Minister to England, for his outfit, and which was cached by the Government Banker in Lon don, has been protested for non payment. Ji pipe laying applicant. James Wat son Webb, the notorious S52,000 of the New York Courier and Enquirer, was the first applicant in that city for the benefit of the bankrupt law. For such men, mainly, was this infamous bill enacted. Broken down Pipe Layers, fraudulent bank cash iers, and dishonest politicians will reap all iis advantages. The honest and indus trious, though unfortunate poor, will never be benefited by its provisions, for whom it was never intended. State Capitol Gazette. More Expunging. The New York Legislature has followed the example of the U. S. Senate. The Governor signed a bill repealing an act passed at the last srs sion; but accompanied its return with a mes sage, expressing his regret at its repeal This document was expunged from the Journal, which caused great excitement. Short Speeches. The lower House of the Legislature of Tennessee has passed a resolution restricting the speeches of mem bers to twenty minutes each. This beats the one hour rule of Congress. IVife and money recovered. The Pe tersburg Intelligencer says, that a double breach of the Commandments was commit ted in Richmond on Tuesday night. A man (name unknown to us) not only covet ted the wife and money of his neighbours, but did actually proceed to "steal, take and carry away " the same. The Lothario and xsfair one reached Petersburg, and were about to proceed North per the City Point Rail Road and so on, when they were ar rested by the injured husband on yester day, and carried back to Richmond. Up wards of J5700 was found on the person of the seducer, who had taken it from the in jured party doubtless for the purpose of "taking care of the wife of said injured party. Elopement. Some of the Philadelphia papers speak of an elopement of a lady in fashionable life in Walnut street, with an attacheoi a foreign minister. (QThe New York Express stales, that a girl in her 14lh year, from the West, per haps the richest heiress in the whole West, whose property too was in her own right, recently left that city for Liverpool with a man aged about sixty. The young lady was left by her father at a boarding school near the city, where the gentleman became acquainted with her, and it is believed, that a marr iage ceremony was performed before they left. Two Soldiers Frozen. On Friday eve ning, a sergeant and two privates of the company of soldiers stationed at Fort Mif flin, about six miles below the city, left the Pennsylvania shore in a boat for the Fort. The tide and wind being strong, they were not able to make the regular landing, and were forced to run upon the shore. On the boat striking, they jumped out in the mud, which was of such a depth, that they sank almost immediately up to the middle i ne sergeant oeing a very powenui man, made his way out, but the other two, una ble to extricate themselves, perished befure aid arrived. Alderman Brazier vventdovxn ou Saturday to hold an inquest on the bo dies, but alter making several attempts, was not able to reach the island, and re turned. Phil. U. S. Gaz. Disturbances at Kingston, Jamaica The Mobile Journal of the 10th inst., givs some news from Kingston, Jamaica, of date the 31st ult. There had been a riot among t he negro population Christmas week, which made it necessary to call out the military in am oi me ponce and to hre on the riot ers, by which a number have been killed. As common in such cases, the origin of the disturbances was trifiincr. some nvm chil dren made an unseemly & noisy exhibition, which the police attempted to stop, when the negroes gathered in such numbers as to be bold enough to attack the police,and wre driven ou with dithculty. The crowds continued to increase nightly, and the ordi nary ponce being tound insufficient, the Go vernor sent a special messasre lothe Assem bly, requiring the aid of the military.

"Erepuit fulmtna Juvist" The fair were once content to wield The arms which partial nature gave them, Whene'er on love's soft battle field. They'd wound poor hearts & then enslave them Th' artillery of the love-lit eye- So fatally mild in those ot blue. Whose rays are soft as those which dye The rainbow with prismatic hue Those-nifrht-black batt'ries too, which play Their love-fires with electric mijht: And love-born smiles which wanton stray To melt our hearts with sunset light: These, with the soft and half-hush'd sigh Like whisper'd music; These were arms, With which ihe fair, once, hade hearts die, Or bent them captive to their charms. Hut far more cruel now than ever, Delighting stubborn hearts to harrow; They seize on Cupid's bow and quiver And lo! they wield the fatal arrow. O Lady! do give back the dart To Cupid's hands He's blind, you know! His sightless aim might miss a heart Bat who can shun your deadly bow? NO-ONE. FOR THE TAKBOUO PRF.SS.
