THE RECEPTION AT RALEIGH.

of the reccpUonof the President nf tlie United S lutes

The President was received at tho Di pot, at abou:
half past 5 o'clock, P.M. by W'm. Pallas Havwood,
Esq., f mendant of Police. He, with his suite, was
thenescoTtetf through several streets of the city, to
Yaiisowovoh's Hotcl, by the Ringgold Artillerists,

At o'clock tho President attended at the Senste

The Southern front of Cupital Square and Fayette

of firs works ate little past teno clock closing with
the ascension of a large Balloon.
MR. BROWN OF THE CHRONICLE.
We tee that Mr. Bsowx Is determined to keep up a
controversy with the Csnnmertitl. and right or wrong,
w iH indulge in feelings by no means creditable to any
man who has respect for courtesy or decency.
Ever since the Commerxud commenced Its opera
iioe4 here, he has cherished a vindictive spirit towards
th establishment ; and while adopting in his secret
operations a course of extreme meanness, he has oc
casionally uttered complaints in public, the character
of which wo soften as much as possible by calling
thens silly, very silly.
The articles in his two last pap jrs relative to the rc-
. r , . l.ttll, ...
port ol snip aews which he has the characteristic im-
2i- .1. l. , ,
pudeticc to claim as bis own are calculated to rpake

Tlte craft abroad woulj b? astonished could they
but learn the mean tricks resorted to by Mr. Baows

uf a job Intended fur this establishment, he proposes
to print It at a rate that entitles him to the scorn of
i vory Opera tire In tho State, anJ the contempt of ev
ery high-minded and honorable Proprietor.
One would think that the present and late joint
Proprietor of the Commercial lud committed some

Thk Navy Capture of Talascoza The
American Eagle of the 19th, has the follow
ing account of the capture of the town of
Talascoza, by our navy:
Capt. Mayo, Governor of Alvcrado, started
on an expedition on Thursday, the 13th inst.
against a town of considerable importance,
called (we believe) Talascoza, accompanied
by eighty men. This place. is said to be near
ly one hundred miles in a S. YV. direction
from Alvarado. Ho took gun boats with him
only. On arriving at the. place, he was re
ceived jn till kindnei's, every attention being
shown him that could be extended in order to
render his visit agreeable, and arrangements
were made for the surrender of the town.
We understand that Captain Mayo declined
leaving any force there, however, as it would
have wenkened those under his command too
much. On his return, and whilst in his boats j
descending the river, which is represented aB j
being both narrow and shallow, he was fired
upon from a dense chnppanil, and one officer
and five of his seamen wounded. The follow
ing is a libt of their names :
J. G. Pringle. Passed Midshipman, badly
wounded.
J. Tollcit, Seaman, badly wounded.

"On the 8th Instant, the PrakniU JeA.Vera

war Albany, and arrived, at Naatla on the-10th.-
The captain of the Albany fired a gun, soon after
her arrival oil' the bar, and hoisted a white flag, up
on which the authorities of the town came on board
nnd formally delivered Nautla Into the possession
of the Americans. This being done, the Albany
sailed for Tecolttto, the Prater niU remaining lor
the purpose of disposing of her cargo.
At 10 o'clock on the morning ol the 13ih, I went
on ahore with two of my crew, and found there
three hundred armed Mexicans who had just arri
ved from Misamla, and taken possession of the
town. They seized the authorities ol the place
who had given up the town to the Americans, to-
geiher with Mr. Berry Godel, supercargo ol (he
Fratrrnilf, Mr. Dories, n passenger, and those of
my cicw, who had accompanied me on shore, all
of whom were sent off bound to Misautln. I for
tunately escaped by getting into the woods, but was
unable to reach my vessel, which lay outside the
bar, two miles distant from the shore.
At two o'clock on the mottling of the next day,
the Fralmiatc was boarded by thirty armed Mexi
cans, who ran the vessel ashore, stripped her of her
cargo, and of every thing valuable, and then burnt
her I have obtaintcd the names ol the following
men who were amongst the leaders in the attack
and robbery, viz : Pope Nunez, Gabriel Acote,
Uosario Mendcz, and Augnslin Ortega.
The Captain also informs me that lie was in the
woods and travelling along the beach for ihiee days,
when lie lound a canoe, in which he put off with
the object of reaching Vera Cruz by water. Ten
miles from the land, he fell in with the Spitfire, beard
ed he and reported the facts as heretofore detailed.
The Spitfire was bound for Nautla, and proceeded
on her course. Upon reaching that place, or the
bai near it, the Captain opened a fire upon the town
which had the effect ol bringing a delegation of the
citizens, beating a fln nf truce, to the steamer.

On the 20 Inst. Mr. Huchanan agent for emigrants,
had advicel that 40 vessels had (ailed for Quebec from
Watcrford, Sllgo, Dublin, Londondery, Belfast; New
Ross, Limerick Cork, Fcwry and Liverpool, having
on board 12,300 passengers. A large number of emi
grants by other ships had reached Quoboc, and one
veBsef, the F.xmouth, from Londondery, had been
shipwrecked. On the 23d Inst. 1,335 passengers
reached Qunbec by sea, nnd twelve ships, chiefly
from Ireland, with over 4,000 pnssengers, were at the
(uaranline ground below, where accommodations
have been provided for 10,000 persons. Tho deaths
on board the ships that have arrived are very numer
ous. Fifty died on board the Agnes from Cork, forty
five in the Wandnworth, ten in the June Black, 20 in
tho ftuorge. On the 23d Inst. 43C fever patients were
in the Grose Isle Hospital, and the probability is that
the number will augment dally.
We trust that care will be taken to prevent persons

been much more futal among the upper than the low er

D IS ( I It AC F. F U L OCCURRENCE.
A eorrespomlen t informs us that tho count)' of
Goochland was, lust Friday, the scene of one of the
most shameful transactions that has ever occurred in
this State. The circumstances, as they have been
related to us, were nearly as follows :
Two negroes were, some time since, condemned to
death, for the cold blooded nnd atrocious murder ol a
boy, fourteen years old, w ho ktpt a store for a Mr. lla
pan. living on the Threc-Notrhrd rond, nenr the Lou
isa line. One of the Court, believing that the spectacle
of a public execution was caleulntcd to produce n very
demoralizing cflect upon the public in general, and
could be of no benefit in deterring the slave popula
tion from imitating the example of the culprits, pro
posed to erect the gallows within the wall built around
the jail. His proposition was readily agreed to by Ids
brethren, and the gibliet was erected In the place pro
posed. On lasl Friday, the day of the rxeeullon, a Inre
ciowd issenibled lor the purpose of witnessing the
exhibition; nnd when they found thnt measures hud
been taken to baflle their curiosity, their rnge knew no
bounds. They assimbleu to the nuinbur of six or
eight hundred persons, and threatened to tear down
the jail, unless their demand, of a public execution,
was complied with. The sherifT, being unable, alone
to breast the storm, was comp lied to comply with
their wii-hcs--the gallowswas removed, and tho ami
able dt sire of the multitude to witness the last ago
nies of their wretched and guilty fellow creatures was
complied with.
We regard this not only as a stain upon our charac
ter us a State, but as n blot upon humanity.
