Still more instances have been produced of self-devotion under pain, fa tigue and privation, in the great cause of Freedom Perhaps the Southern States furnish more examples, as being more constantly the scenes of warfare than any other Major Gordon's "Revolutionary Anec dotes" furnish data of what human na ture in its gentlest form, is capable of un der great excitement . All have witness ed, ma less or greater degree, what the influences of virtuous love, conjugal affec tion and maternal tenderness can perform. Great," too have been the actions which love of country has produced it has over come difficulties, braved dangers, and elicited the noblest sentiments We have been led to these remarks by a a paragraph in the 2d volume of ''Gordon's Anecdotes," which has recently fallen un der our notice. evincing the pervading influ ence of the times on the female mind, in those days that " tried men's souls" and it had its. full operation on woman's mind. " The young Ladies (says Major Gordon.) of the best families in Rowan and Mecklenburg Counties, (in the West ern part of North-Carolina,) adopted and , proclaimed allesolution to refuse the ad dresses of any young-men of their Coun ties, except the brave Volunteers -who served in the expedition to South-Carolina to subdue the Scovolite Insurgents." These young ladies drew their lives from tathers of war-proof for it will be remembered that Mecklenburg County declared themselvesiin favor of Independ ence long before the Thirteen States uni ted for that' purpose ; and some brave men are still living,' (and long may they live!) who fleshed their maiden swords in sup port ontnei opinions, and for the protec tion of their " fields and firesides" from foreign despotism.

It is said to have been unequalled by any simi- ar exhibition in any City of its size in the Union. The Ladies were greatly aided by the beneficence of the Members of the General Assemblyat present in session there. News from Greece A letter from our countryman Dr Howe, dated Malta, Nov. 4, says, just before the vessel weighs anchor for Greece, that he learns by per sons immediately front that Country, that two-thirds of the foreigners enjrajred in the cause, have lost their lives by disease or strife. Our General Jarvis, it is said, is of the number. Capo D'Istria is get ting on wonderfully with the internal ad ministration, the people are returning to their former occupations. Piracy has ceased, and the country is quite tranquil Cochrane is returned, and is now at Egi na with another steam; vessel ; but, it is said, demands 85,000 ere he will hoist the Greek flag upon her Charles G. Dudley is elected Senator from New-York, in the place of Mr Van Buren. Nathaniel Silsbee is re-elected Senator from Massachuseits.-Jno. Holmes is elected Senator from Maine in the place of Mr. Parris, resigned. Josiah Quincy, late Mayor of Boston, has been elected, by the Corporation of Harvard College, President of that Insti tution. This nomination requires confir mation by the Overseers of the Institu tion, who are to meet on the 29th instant to act upon it. Six Manufacturing Companies were in corporated by our Legislature, at the late session, viz : one in Fayetteville ; one in Rockingham, Richmond county ; one in Randolph county : one in Edjrecomb county : one in Beaufort county: and one for the Manufacture of Iron in Chat ham coitpty A Steam Boat 50 feet long and 16 wide, built of sheet iron, and drawing about two feet water, came through the Dismal Swamp Canal last week, and left here on Sunday for Newbern, to run between that place and Beaufort through the Clubfoot and Harlow's Creek Canal Eliz- City Star- We observe by the message of his Ex cillency Gov. Lincoln, of Massachusetts, that the surveys.- ot two routes of Rail Roads, one from Boston to Prcvidence-j and one from Boston to the Hudson River, have been completed. The reports of Engineers and estimates of cost are to be laid before the Legislature forthwith. -The Governor i decidedly favorable to these projected improvements. It is with much regret we learn, that in a duel recently fought at Augusta, Col Henry G. Nixon, of Camden, was killed upon the spot His antagonist, we un derstand, received no injury The re mains of Col. N. were carried to Camden for interment. Of the causes or particu lars of this affair, we know too little to detail them ; although we believe it had its origin in a political dispute. Col N. at the time of this event, was a Member of the House of 'Representatives , of this State, in which he occupieda very res pectable station both as a man of talents and a speaker. Charleston Mercury. Capt. W. H. Taylor of the Buenos Ay nan schooner Federal, which was cut ou? of the port jif Gustavia Sr. Barts, by the sloop ot war Erie, Capt Turner, of which we published an account some time since, anied in this place on Surulay evening last, from Cyr.ca, on .his way to Wash i gtonXQity. We learn that the Federal was t-tfcert to Sr. Martin, and that Captain Tiylor after having been confined as a prisoner on board the Erie was discharged at Curacoa, as ir appeared that he was in nocent of the charges preferred against him. It appears that Capt. Taylor, instead of being a pirate, as he has Deen represented, is a regularly commissioned Captain in the linen os Avrian Nay, and acted under au thority from his government in the case in which he has been chargeu with piracy. s sWilm.

CONGRESS.: SENATE. Saturday, Jan. 7. The Senate did not sit to day. Monday ', Jan. 19. Mr Johnson, from the Committee on trie Post OQice and Post Roads, t whom h d been referred several peutfons in rela tion to the transportation and;openitig of ihe mails on the Sabbath 1 dav,;tnade a re port, concluding with a resolution, that the Comnuttee be discharged from the fur ther consideration of the subject." 31 r. J. moved that the reading; of the re port be dispensed with, & i hat it be print ed. He 'requested that 'more than one co py for each Senator should M provided, that he might send copies to his constitu ents. He believed i hat legislation up .n he subject was improper, and that nine hundred and ninety rune inji thousand were opposed ro any leishtive inierf'r- ence. inasmuch as u wui nave a rennets cy to unite religious institutions with the Government. Three thousand copies of the report were ordered to be printed. Ihe Senate proceeded to the order of the dav, viz. a bill for relief'of the securities of Amos Edwards, which consumed tne remainder of the si' ting. j Tuesday, Jan 20. j Mr. Webster, from he Committee on the Judiciary, reportn 44 An jart in addi tion to An act to amend the Judicial Sys tem of the United State" Mr. W. said, it was known that the Su preme Court was now hidden by four Judges only ; the Judge of rhe second cir cut was recovering from a severe illness, and it was supposed he was: now on the road ; and the Judge of the Southern cir cuit had met with an accident, and was delayed in one of the Carolinas. What rendered the passage of the bill peculiarly necessary was, that if within ten day, af ter the time settled for the meeting of the Court, there wis not a quorum of the Judges assembled, the Court nVust adjourn, and the session be lost, if one of the four Judges now here should bp taken sick to morrow, the Court wnuld be broken up am' the session closed. The second section of the bill provided, that when less than four of the Judges were assembled,1 they should adjourn from day to day, until 20 days af ter the first metuoii, and then; adjourn un til the next annual session. If there was no objection, the subject was jso important that he would ask for the second reading at the present time. No objection being made, the bill was then read a second time, and ihrdered fo be engrossed for a third reading. Tli- Kill nrn-.ri;. f..n .U'ovfon.mr nf the Cumberland Road westwardly from Zanesvilie, in the Mate ol Oiuo was tak en up in Committee of the Whole. Mr. llendru ks said, that unless some objection was made to the pa.ss.ige of the bill, it was not worth while to go into the history ot the ro tl. It ninv went very near ZnesvHIe, and this bill mere y au thorized its extension. Mr Branch sail, he could ivish this bill and every other similar bill cwuld be post poned until the great question but the expenditure of the public money w.is set- t-ed. There was now a proposition before Congress, it was.well known, which would settle this question 5 and would it not be . . . . well to postpone tins bill until that lime ? Congress had been expending nulliun at ter milnon, moie than enough to piy the national deb;, unjustly and parti I ly. They could not avert tne evil, but tkey mihi mitigcte it ; i)d he could .wish that theentlemah from Indiana would con- sent to postpone the bli and lay i upon ihe table. L t us do justice, aid Mr. B. I do pot wish to raise a revenue for the purpose of distributing il over the country ; but let us auop: some principle to make our taxes as smalt as possible. A biN tor tbi purpose was now before a. Special Com mittee, and he wished to hear their report before acting further- He then moved to lay the bill upon the table, and aked the yeas and nays upon the question The question was negatived, 25 votes to 16 : and the bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.!!

We think ur member madejan excellent speeth on the occasion, in wliicluhe used this forcible expression : ( t hat Jf-the proposed change Was not designed for a special purpose, it was useless ; and if for a special purpose, its adoption woald degrade the character of the House.' On motion of Mr. .Taylor. that the resolution be laid on the table. with the understanding that it should not be again called up, it was carried 97 to 92 votes. i ' Mr. Thompson's motion to reverse the decision ofjhe Indian Committee on the Georgia claims, being the order of the day, he called for the veas and nays upon it r Mr. Weems wished the subject postpon ed till Friday next ; and, after some de sultory debate, it v?as so ordered. Monday, Jan. 1 9. The House took up the bill authorising a subscription of stock in , the Washington Turnpike Company. The blank, for. the number of shares to oe Isubscribed, was filled with $4.500, , and the blank for the payment of ihe subscripiionNwith 890,000. The bill passed its 3d readings99 votes to 82. The House then went into a committee of the whole on the Cumberland Road bill which underwent debute. The Commit- tee rose and had leave to sit aain. Tuesday, Jan. 20 Mr. Polk's resolution submitted on the 15th inst. in relation to Tennessee lands, was taken up, amended and passed. Mi. White's resolution respecting the boundary of Georgia and Florida, was ta ken up and ad p'ed. ()' mntion of M r.

Mr. Gurley gloved a resolution instruct- il r ii i .. ing tne committee or puonc lands to en quire into the expediency of gran'tingto the ivate of Louisiana:50Q,000 .icres of land for the purpose of oneninz a canal from the Mississippi to Lake Ponchanrain, &c. and aUo the expediency of granting a township d land to the I rus;ees of Louisiana Col lege af Jickson in that State I hese resolutions were debated till the xpiration oftiie hour allotted for such bu siness. The bill fonestablishing a new Territo ry West of Michigan, to be called the territory of Huron, was taken up and nis- cussed, and passed to its 3d reading 113 votes to 70. The bill for the subscription of stock in the Washington Turnpike Road Company, arid the bill for supplying the army, passed to their 3d reading. UETOLUTlON IN THE CITY OF MEXICO.
