(J correspondent of the Raleigh

i lars respecting ihe recent oeain oi .Mr.
Ric'.ard Jordan, merchant i f Warrenton:
The citizens of our villtage. and those of
its vicinity were thrown into consternation
and mourning, on Ihe morning of 22d inst.
in consequence of the horrible circumstan j
ces attending the suicide of one of our most
enterprising and worthy young men.
The subj.-ct of this calamity was born
and raised up in our midst of highly res
pectable parentage; had accumulated a
handsome estate by punctual and indutri-
- Rhode Island. The organization of the
free suffrage (revolutionary) Assembly
took place in Providence on the 3rd in
fant. The Journal says, thit the procession
was formed at the Hoyle Tavern, and
proceeded over the Bridge through Main
and Benefit streets, and back to an unhu
ihed building on the Dorrance s?r et lot,
intended for a furnace and foundry It
numbered one thousand six hundred and
thirty persons, of whom four hundred and
sixty-seven had guns and one hundred and
twentyr-seven swords: fifty-four weie on
horseback, but were not armed.
Welcome B. Sayles was elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives, who, after
taking the Chair, administered the prescri
bed oath to himself and the other members
elect who were in attendance, num
bering in all sixty-six, and leaving" several
towns unrepresented.
The Clerks of the House were then
elected, after which the towns were sever
ally called for votes for Senators and Gen
eral Officers. Whereupon a commiit'-e
was appointed to count the votes, and the
House took a recess of an hour and a half
to afford time for the performance of this
suv ice.
Every thing wa quiet in lo that time; &
ah hough there was much excitement, no
outbreak was apprehended.
P. S. On re assembling in the afternoon.
both 'Houses were organized, Mr. Doir
was installed as Governor, resolutions were
passed to inform ihe authorities of the Uni
ted Stales and State Governments of their
organization, and acts repealing those just
passed by the legitimate Legislature at its
extra session and in relation to ihe organiz

It has been a very mis'aken policy with the
Rail Road Companies not to lessen their
charges,. as multitudes who now travel
North by the Packets from Darien, Savan
nah, and Charleston, would take the cars,
if the expense were not so enormous. 1
have no doubt but the travelling would in

be able to state, says the "Baltimore A

ami Winchester, give the assurances that
the Banks of Virginia will resume specie
payments at an earlier day than the period
designa ed by the Legislative Act. No
precise time is mentioned. One letter
slates that a Convention of the Banks will
be held in a few days on the subject. This
will prove acceptable intelligence to our
business men, who have such constant and

There has been an examination into the
concerns of the Girard Bank at Philadel

which was increased from li to 5 millions

Daring. A daring feat was performed
in N. Orleans, a day or two ago, by Stick
ney, the celebrated Equestrian. A couple
ot irightened horses attached lo a carriage,
broke away from the person holding them,
and dashed down St. Charles Street at a
furious rale. Stickney was standing at the
door of Ihe American, and before any body
could even guess at his intention, he had
jumped in front of the horses, and seized
them by the bridle. Every person pre
sumed he would be trampled under foot,
but he succeeded in arresting the progress
of the horses, and conducting them safely
to their stable. Stickney is a man of great
nerve and intrepidity. Not one man in a
two since a new an:! rlcgTR? rouse nnH lot,
vrhich cost Sl53000,in this town, brought
only at public sale, Sl,000 in specie.
The new crops, Cotton, Cor.i and Grain,

OlTiC'-rs of high rank in ihe army inform
me that the number of Indians still in the
TiT! itory does not exceed 150; yet they
are troublesome, esp- cially as ihe woods
are now covered with thick foliage and un
dergrowth, which enables even the lew to
wander far and wide in ihe work of blood
and plunder. Near M.dison, some 60
miles east of this place,-murders have been
committed within a lew days. The mail
rider to St. Augustine, informed me that
he passed the trad of some 'en or twenty
not more than 30 miles ft on: here A camp
of six Indians ha just been broken up on
the main land, an uninhaoi el legion oppo-
st'e to Apalaclucula, by some hunters.
b i e wee killed one escaped, and two
childien, wounded, we e taken to that
place one, an infant, shot from, its moth
er's bieast, and both obje- ts of greit curi
osity. When vounded, they made for the
river like young Alligators. In East Flo
rida, settlers ate returning tode-erte l plan
tations with their rifles and ploughs, to
fight or to till, as may be i.e essary. From
St. Augustine, as many as 100 whites, in
cluding their blacks, have thus emigrated.
They think it a safe course, and I know of
no better way myself to close this long
protracted warfare ihan a general policy ot
this kind. You recollect that Kentucky
was se'lled in this way, and by such mea
sures rid herself of a savage fue.
