On Saturday night last) as the Captain of the Citizen's Guard, Mr. Rcifix Tucker, was about dismissing his squad between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, in. passing by his own store, he was attracted by- a noise in the Cellar. On dccendu)g-, he found' a negro fel low very busily engaged in helping himself, in the whok$ale line, from its diversified contents.- He had already drawn two large buckets or tubs of Molasses, ' and had a number of begs, evidently intended to be filled; with Coffee, .Sugar, &c. He was, .of course, icized, and gave the rmme of an accomplice, (also a black,) who had probably been stationed on the look out, but who, disregarding the adage of "honor among thieves, made tracks on the first alarm. He was, however, soon overhauled and, with his companion, safely lodged in "Prison, to abide the "penalty of the law for so daring an infraction. The entrance into needs an abler pen, which it will find in the School master above alluded to, &c " And such are the means, and such the motives,,which have put in ope ration a system of proscription,, worthy of the worst days of Robespierre. Will the people of North-Carolina, who are emphatically (without flattery) an hox- .a 1 a 1 est pkopls will mey, can tne;y supporrsucn an Ad ministration? It may not be irrelevant to add', that the School master in question, after the appointment was confer red upon him, went to Edenton, to take possession of the vacant slippers; but finding the emoluments of the office to fie only a few hundred dollars, when he ex pected as many thousands, he declined the honor, and is stiU engaged in "teaching- the yojung idea how to i . jr i GOOD AS WELL AS GREAT. At the recent great Whig meeting in Boston, Mr. : P'ulnam, a Member of the Legislature, related the following Anecdotes of Gen'.

He was welcomed by his commander, and,; following hint into the! drawing room, was thus introduced : ' Gentlemen, here is one of my old comrades who has done battle for "his coun try, and he will take a seatw?A us at the table." A brief cohversatioxT soon satisfied the host that his guest, th'ongK poor, might be deserving ; and, turning to the company, he said: " Gentlemen,! shall fur nish my old comrade with a decent suit of clothes, and give him a fetter to one of my friends in Cincin nati, asking him to give this man empleyment; and will you rurnish him means to pay his passage there 1" jNo sooner asked than granted.

ARE THAT TBJEE. One night, last week, some scoundrels, who ought to be dieted on Cocoons for a month, made an incur sion into the Silk Orchard of the Joint Stock Com pany in this City, and carried off, it is supposed, seve ral hundred Moras Multicaulis trees. Bundles were found in the morning, tied together, which, the vil lains either had not time to carry off, or were alarmed in the act of doing so. This is; decidedly, the most encouraging item for Silk growers that we have lately Rutherford County, ardently i, attached to Mr. Cut, andiiot apprized of Gen. Harrison's claims on the South, under the signature of "Haxptox," addressed a spirited appeal to th. Whigs of Rutherford, calling upon them to vesist the nomination. This Communi cation was eagerly republished in most, or all the Van Buren prints of the State, as " proof strong as holy writ," of such a schism in our ranks . as must ensure defeat. We saw, at the first glance, that the Commu nication of "Hampton" was written under strong ex citement. Several Whig Editors spoke of it, as an artful device of some Van Buren man, in the guise of a Whig, to sow the seeds of discord among our party Ashville, on Tuesday the 14th of April next, place, but-m yote, to nominate a Whig Elector fortius district, oii lhe:; Harmon and Tyler Ticket.
