This aa an awful business ; it was admitted by all, tnat it true, the whole concern was a perfect cholera case.' V long consultation' was held by" the directors, and many a heavy sigh and sage remark was made on the occasion- It was finally agreed that Messrs. Evans & Harrison, the Bank Attornies, should be sent for, and what Prentiss Had said of the instruments they had drawn up. 1 hese gentlemen came, exam ' the deeds, and pronounced them perfect; and said Further, that it was a piece of contemptible pettifogging jn Mr. Prentiss, to say they were not good, without first pointing out their defects to them as Attorneys for the bank. This relieved the Directory somewhat, but tiU the? felt anxious about the matter. During the consultation of the board,; Prentiss and Shocco left for Macon. "The third day after their departure, they re turned "by Columbus, on their way to Yalobusha Countyi where Prentiss was to make a speech. Doctor William Humphreys, one of the Directors of the Re 1 Estate Bank', " and an able man in finance, determin ed he would find out from Mr. Prentiss what his ob jections' to the deeds in trust were. He therefore call ed on him for that purpose; he found Prentiss and Shocco by themselves in a room of the Eagle Hotel. He asked Mr. Prentiss if he could speak with him. -Prentiss replied, of course Doctor, and walked towards the door; Shocco ako vmoved in the same 'direction, but the Doctor told Him that he wished it to be a pri vate coEversation. On getting into the street, the Doc tor told Prentiss the matter at issue, between himself and Evans and Harrison, and of What they had said of him.! Prentiss swore by eVeiy thing great, good, and holy, that up to that moment he had never heard of such a thing as the ? Real Estate Bank of Colum- bus, much less to examine tnetr needs in trust, and Harrison & Evan's office that moment, that he misht 'remote any unfavorable impressions made upon their ( minds. The Doctor-OBSented, and the necessary ex planations were made, ij Prentiss started immediately for Yalobusha, without Shocco. The Doctor return- d to the Bank and told the Directory all thai had pass ed. It was then agreed upon by them that Shocco' s depositesf Cape Fear money, should b looked into; they did so, when lo ! and behold I they were found to contain nothing but blank paper and the " public documents' tarned out to be nothing but the OldDomih . ion and Norfolk Beacon, giving an account of the , jar-famed North-Carolina duel ! You can better ima gine, gentle reader, than we can describe, the feelings : of those interested in the '.'Real Estate Bank,v when , they discovered, that, lor more than three long months,' ; they had been most egregiously hoaxed by Shocco Jones of North-Carolina. After the discovery, Shocco became scarce in the region of Columbus. The day after the denouement a " blue streak" was seen passing towards the North East, which' was supposed by some, to be the balance . on hand of Shocco, following in the wake of the great Hiranl, of bond selling notoriety !

(Star 2 w) 33 gW THE REGISTER- j TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1840; i TO THE WHIGS OF NORTH CAROLINA' Fellow Citizen.- It will be recollected that at the Whig Convention, held in Raleigh -on the 12th of Not ember last, it was recommended that meetings should be called in each Electoral District to appoint Delegates to choose an Elector for that District, and that the name of the gentleman selected, should be forwarded , to the Central Committee, to be published and placed on the general Electoral Ticket. In many of the-Counties, meetings for this purpose have been held. ' It is of tie highest importance, that the recommendation of tie Convention should receive the prompt attention of all rho- are friendly to the election of WitiiAjkH. Bak ai&ox as President, and Joh Ttlkk as Vice Presi dent of the United States. It cannot be otherwise tharfdesirable, that the Ticket should be made out at as early a period as possible and submitted to the Peo ple. Let all then, who are favorable to the election of those able Statesmen and true Patriots, who in eve ry public trust, amidst every temptation, have proved themselves honest, and faithful to the Country all who are opposed to the extravagant expenditures; of the present Administration; its reckless attempts to break' down the -credit system of the Country; to fix on the people a policy they have thrice rejected through their Representatives; its proscription of faithful pub- hc officers' for I""00 8 cfforts to dePnvc old States of their just share of the Public lands,' prop- erty, for which North Carolina poured out, freely, some' of her best blood, and which would place at her disposal, a fund that would car,ry the blessings of Edu cation into every poor man's Cottage; let all such zx- xirT THxxsxLyxs, and be prepared for the approach ing contest.

THE MAMMOTH HUMBUG. We publish to-day; the adventures of Mr. Jo. Ska. will Jokks, in Mississippi, during the last summer. However little or much of reality may be in the narra tion, the article is well worth a perusal from those who delight in merriment and laughter fand, as the "South- em Argus (from which we copy) remarks, the grisly lineaments of philosophy-itself will scarcely be proof against relaxation and smiles, on perusing the article. GEN. HARRISON. Old Tiffbcxhoe, we hear it said, is a great Gener al, but not a great Statesman. If he is a great Gener al, and who will deny it, he has also, a vigorous, ex panded intellect, which qualifies him for every depart ment q life. It may be emphatically said of him, as of C 8Am. that " he writes with the same force with which he fights." . - -REPUBLICAN TOUCHSTONE. This is the title of a new, cheap, Political paper, a specimen-number of which has just been issued from the Stab OFFicxM3n this City, and which is to be published weekly from May first to November first, at the low price of Ows? Dollar. The object of the Pro prietor is to publish a Paper, the subscription price of which the poorest man in the country will be able to pay without difficulty; and thus place the means of in formation on public affairs, at this momentous crisis, within the reach of.eyeryfreeman'in the State of North Carolina. The object is a most laudable one, and we hope interest enough will be taken in it by the Whig party to justify Mr, Lkscat in putting it into opera- Uon. This plan of circulating cheap political papers has been adopted in other States, hereto fit) re, with great success, and will no doubt, produce equally beneficial re-nitg here if heartily entered into. County Commit tees win find it a powerful agent in their hands, in dis seminating political truths among the people, who only want information to induce them to act right. y WHAT DO THE WHIGS WANT T They want a thorough reform of existing abuses. They are the friends of that economy, which would keep our expenditures within our income. They be lieve that our existing Revenues are adequate to all the exigencies of Government. They, are the friends of an efficient and adequate Navy a small, but weU organ ized Army- bat tHeis thief reliance is a -well-armed, well-disciplined, and patriotic Militia. As the public money comes from the hard earnings of the people, it is the duty of the Administration, as their Agents, to see that it is managed prudently, and expended eco nomically; to ferret out the drones, to -abolish sinecures, to resist importunity and discountenance favoritism.- The Whigs demand of all receivers of public money, responsibility, fidelity, promptitude and accountability. Well knowing that ail alterations are not reforma tions, they project no visionary schemes, are satisfied with powers actually granted, and would never trans cend the limits of the Constitution, to gratify personal views or party purposes. They have seen and felt the effects of Executive power, and take no pride in wit nessing that picture of Monarchy, exhibited in a splen did Government, and an impoverished people. And who are they, that traduce the Whigs? Pen sioners on the public, bounty ; men, who will never cease to ask, so long as there is a. cent to give; obtru sive favorites and their subordinates; poliUcal hucksters, who prostitute their offices to vilify and abuse those who have the firmness to defend the Peoples' ' rights. Ninetenths of them are sucking their sustenance from the Treasury. They have drained the public coffers to carry out their ambitious schemes, and are now com pelled to borrow, for the ordinary expenses, of the Gov ernment. - ' i rr ViDHT McBssi Esq. has resigned the Presi dency of the Louisville, Cincinnatt and .

We, have been favored with a copy of the able Opin ion, delivered By Mr. Justice M'Leak of the Supreme Courtof the United Statesn the case of TkeLeste of Margaret Latimer ctaL v. William Foteet more com monly known and spoken of, as the great Land case from North Carolina. The State- Was greatly inter ested in the result of this Suit, and the decision, being favorable, will prove highly acceptable to its citizens, particularly, to that portion of them, more immediately concerned. We shall insert the Opinion in our nett, at length. The following extract will give, to all who feel inter ested in the matter, a correct idea-of the substance' of the decision made by the Court : 'The evidence establishes very satisfactorily, that "Hawkins' line, so far as it goes, is the boundary of the Holstoti-Tieaty; and it is refy 'clear, froltaf-fhe lan- "guage of the Treaty, that from the Clinch, crossing "the Holston River at the ridge, to the point at which "this line will intersect a line run North from the South ern boundary of North Carolina, a straight line was "intended. Of this, no doubt caA exist; and it is only "necessary to' extend Hawkins line from the top of the "great Iron Mountain, Eastward, to the.point-where.it "shall intersect a line run North from the place where "the South Carolina Indian boundary strikes the South "em boundary of North -Carolina. This, we feel au thorized to "say, from the evidence before us, consti tutes the boundary, of the Holston Treaty." COL. JOHNSON AND ABOLITION, We commend to the attention of the Van Buren men oi iortn-U iroUna, the lollovvinj extract trom a Speech on the Missouri Question, delivered by Col. R. M, Johksos, in the United States Senate, February 1, 1820: " The energies of the Christian world are now com bined in the diffusion ef evangelical light, and the prin ciples it inculcates are every day relaxing the bonds of 'slavery. Providenee, all wise and inscrutable in its ways,-is gradually affecting the ultimate object of our wishes, which your ill-timed opposition Is calculated only to retard. Individual exertion, acting in concert Anti-Slavery Societies can alone prepare the way. bncourasre Sunday schools, multiply Bible societies-m crease missionary exertions, ANIMATE TO DEEDS Or BENEVOLENCE ABOLITION SOCIETIES, and perfect the system of colonization, then trust the kind Providence of God for the result, and you will perform the duties of Christians and patriots in the service of God and his creatures. THE OTTTRAGE CONSUMMATED. Right has yielded to force, and the voice of law has been drowned by the wild and disorderly shout of a mob, for the House of Representatives can hardly be characterized by, any other name. By a vote of 111 to 88, they have admitted the five Loco Foco mem bers from New Jersey, though, in doing so, they have not dared to say that they obtained a majority "of legal votes. On the contrary, they expressly declare that they have not gone into the question. To show the daring and flagitious iniquity of the majority of the House of Representatives, in this matter, we refer the reader to our Correspondent's letter, but particularly to the subjoined forcible summary of the facts con nected with it, luraished by the " National Intelligen cer:" The House of Representatives came yesterday to a decision, such as it is, upon the contested election from the State of New Jersey ; a decision against the Constitution of the United States, because it is against the Statutes of the, State of New Jersey, made in pur suance of the Constitution ; against usage, founded in reason and propriety ; and; in violation of its own pledge, through its committee of elections, to the five persons having possession, from the outset, of the le gal evidence of title to seats as Representatives in Congress from New Jersey.' They have admitted as , Representatives from the State of New Jersey, five, persons whom the authori ties of New Jersey, legally authorized to act upon the subject, have officially declared not to have been elect ed to sit as Representatives from New Jersey. A majority of the House of Representatives has thus not only nullified the laws of the State of New Jersey, and given seats as Members to persons havin no ascertained utle to tnem, : ut tney but they have done so under the following revolting circumstances : First, They refused to hear what the opposing claimants have to say. . Secondly f. They refused to hear" the testimony in the pos6essjkm of the Committee of Erections. Third(y, They refused to receive and hear read the report ef the minority of the Committee of Elections? Fourthly They passed the Resolution thus violating the Constitution, usage, and their own plighted faith, under and by the power ef the Previous Question, which cuts off all debate. - Mr Adams and several other distinguished Mem bers of the House of Repteseatatives, though present, refused to vote at all upon the question concerning the New Jersey election,' from objections to the. whole action of the House upon the subject" Of our Congressional Delegation, Messrs. Deberjy. Graham,. Ray ner, and Williams, voted against the ad mission ef the' usurpers ; Messrs. Bynum, Connor, Fisher, Hawkins, Hall, Montgomery, McKay, and Shepard, voted for it ; and Mr. Stanly refused to vote atalL 1 George Wolf, Esq. Collector of the Pprt of Philadelphia, died suddenly, at the Philadelphia Cus-torn-House, on Wednesday morning last, about nine o'clock. (.

In the House of Representatives, to-day, Mr.' Camp bell, the Chairman of the Committee of Elections, asked permission to. move that their report on the New Jersey case be printed, together .with their Journal up to the 5th instant, and all papers hi their possession up to that time in relation to the subject. Objection being made, Mr. C. moved to suspend the rules, which motion Was rejected. The States were then called on for Resolutions, commencing with Kentucky, when Mr. Pope moved one .proposing the establishment of a National Bank, with a capital of 76 millions of dollars, to aid the fis- cal operations ef the Government, revive the -foreign 1 and domestic Jnwe-( arc business of the country, re- L store public aod private confidence, Stc. Ten millions of the capital to be reserved for the United States ; at least one-half of the residue to be allotted to the States, and the rest to be subscribed by American citizens. The question of consideration being made, the resolu tion lies over, till to-morrow, of course. Mr. Adams offered the following Resolution Resolved, That the SecretaiV ef W ar be directed to report .to this House the natural, political, and mar tial history of the blood-hound, showing the peculiar fitness of that class of warriors to be the associated the gallant Araiy of the United States Specifying the nice discrimination of his scent between the blood of the freeman and the foiood ef the slave between the blood ef the armed warrior and that -of women or children between tiie blood of the black, white, and colored man between- the blood of savage Seminoles and that of the Anglo-Saxon pious Christians. Also a statement of the number of bloodhounds, and of their conductors, imported by this Government, or by the authorities of Florida,-from the Island of Cuba, and the cost of the importation. Also, whether a fur ther importation of trie same heroic race intothe State of Maine : to await the contingency of a contested Northeastern boundary question is contemplated, or only to set an example to be followed by our possible adversary in the event of a conflict. W nether meas ures ha ve.heen taken to secure exclusively to ourselves the employment of this auxiliary force, and whether he deems it expedient to extend to the said blood hounds and then posterity the benefits of the Pension Laws. . w A large-number of other Resolutions were present ed from the several States, all of which, considered important,1ie over one day, and when considered, will be mentioned. Others, unobjected to, were passed upon. The whole day was consumed in receiving and disposing of these Resolutions. in the Senate, a debate took place on Mr. Lump kin's proposition for an adjournment of Congress sometime in 'the month of May. Various opinions were expressed on the subject. - The members-gener-ally were in favor of an early adjournment Mr. Clay was glad tha the proposition had come f(pm the quar ter it did. H was ready to adjourn at an early day,' as, from the "appearance of things around him, he must say, with deep regret and mortification, there was no disposition manifested either to advance the interests, or relieve the embarrasments of the people The sooner they went home and mixed with their constituents, therefore, the better, and " when we meet again, said he, " we shall be likely to find a Congress better organized and more disposed to regard the pub lic weal. 1 be further consideration of the Resolu tion was, at length, postponed until Monday next. The bill, supplemental to that for abolishing impris onment tor debt, was considered, and ordered to be engrossed. Ami, on motion oi Mr. w ngnt, tne Dill tor more effectually securing public money in the hands of officers and agents of the Government, and to punish defaulters, was made the special order for to-morrow week. WASHiwGTOHMarch 10. I have only time 'to send you a line by this even ing's mail, to state that the LocofocosJiave just con summated their outrage on the, rights of the State of New JeTsey , bvpotknr in the five- Locoifbce Candi dates, and this too,. before the investigation ordered by the House has been completed. The Whig members are, in fact, now in New Jersey taking testimony as to the lawfulness of voes and returns. After they left the City on this errand, by express permission of .the Committee, and indeed under tae positive promise that no report should be made before they returned. the Party in the House brought forward and carried a proposition .that the Committee report forthwith which set of candidates, had received a majority of the votes, (the Whigs forcing- the word lawful in,), and without waiting the result ot the examination going on in New Jersey,, the Loeofbeo majority of the Committee reported, nolens vulens, that their men' had received a majority of -the lawful votes, and have just voted them into their seats tbe examination still going on in IMew Jersey. . i nis flagitious act caps the climax of. Iniquity. It i both in. matter and form, one of the' most unprincipled acts Lhave ever seen perpe trated by Party. It ia the very essence of the worst spirit of Jacfcsonism. But the Party seem to hie to be sensible of their impending fate, from the success of the Hero -of Tippecanoe, and to become- reckless of what they do. Many of. the Whigs, when they saw that the ibul deed was resolved on, left the House and would not vote. -1 grieved, especially, to see your Representative Mr. Fisher, voting with the Looos in this monstrous procedure. In the -Senate, a mimber of petitions were present, ed. Amongst them a considerable numbet for: en couragement to the raisers of silk. One. of thejse Was introduced by Mr. Clay, from numerous citizens of Schuyler county, Pennsylvania, asking in stvor of the produces of American Silk, a duty on imported Silk, and such other aid as Congress may judge pro per. - The Senate also discussed the bill to relinquish die reversionary interest of. the United States to a eertaia reservation in the State of Alabama. They afterwards proceeded to the consideration pf Lxecuuve business. ! Wasbisbtow, March-1 3. After read'ngof the Journal on the 11 th.Mr.Campbell, from the Election Committee, moved that the Journal of the Committee in the. New Jersey ease, 'with all its proceedings up to the 5th instant, be printed-. This, motion produced a long debate, in which Messrs. Campbell, R. Garland, Dromgoole, Botta, Smith, of Connecticut, 'Rjves. Everett, MediU, Jenifer.. and Graves, took part, and which was chased by the House taking up the orders of the day. The bill from the SenaTte in relation to the Red Riv er Raft, was first considered, and referred to the Com mittee of Ways and Means, with the -instructions moved by Mr. Biddle. The next subject considered, was the bill -from the Senate, commonly known as the Sub-Treasury bill, which Mr. Jones 'moved should be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means ; bat which Mr. White, of Kentucky, proposed to commit to the Com mittee of the Whole on the State ; of the Union. A debate ensued, in which Messrs. Jones, White, Rhett, Everett, W. Thompson, VanderpoeL Wise and Crabb, participated. Mr. Everett moved certain instructions to go to the Committee. Mr. Petriken called the previous ques tion, and there being a second, the main question was first taken on the commitment to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union ; which was negatived 115 to 77. The reference to the Com mittee of Ways and Means, was carried, without a division. The question being then taken on Mr. Ev erett's instructions, the House refused to adopt them, 106 votes to 81. ' Several other bills of minor importance were acted upon, and then the House adjourned. : - In the Senate, the Vice President submitted Reso lutions from the Territory of Florida, asking admis- tion into the Union, and deprecating any division of uc eraiory. A petition was presented from citizens of Albany, against admitting Florida into the Union, unless Slav ery is abolished. ; The bills ordered to be engrossed On Tuesday, were read the third time and passed. After the Journal was read on Thursday, and some documents referred, the Speaker announced the unfin ished business to be, the Resolution yesterday reported by Mr. Campbell, proposing to print the Journal of the Election Committee on the New Jersey election, with certain other documents. To which Resolution an amendment was pending. " Mr. Jenifer being entitled te the floor, proceeded with his remarks, but gave way to Mr. Fillmore to make certain explanations, during which much disorder and excitement took place. The morning hour having elapsed, Mr. Jones, of Va. moved that the House pass to the orders of the day, when several bills received their first and second reading, and were referred, and then tbe House resolv ed itself into a Committee of the whole on the state of the Union (Mr. Dawson in the ChairY on. the Sub- Treasury bill. Mr. Jones addressed the Committee for some Unie, stating the "necessity for passing the bill, on account ot tne heavy amount ot msbursemerrts which the Treasury would have to make early in the year before it would receive the moriey from the seve ral sources from which it would be due. Mr. J. went into a statement of the finances of the Country, and read large portions of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury at the opening of the session. He also endeavoured to show the advantages which the Gov ernment would derive from the system proposed by this bill over obtaining the required relief from a loan. Mr. Gushing replied to Mr. Jones in an argumenta tive Speech, shewing how the present necessity of. the Treasury had been occasioned ; on whom the respon sibility of the "great deficit in the resources lay, and what was the proper remedy. He traced the causes to the extravagant expenditures of the past and present Administrations, and showed why a direct loan would be preferable to the issue of Treasury Notes, which was a loan, in fact, under a different name. Before he had concluded his remarks, he gave way to a motion for adjournment. The Senate was engaged principally in the discus sion of the bill to provide for paying the damages sus tained by individuals in the wars with the Indian tribes since 4830. It was passed oven, in order to nave the various amendments offered to it, printed. On Friday, the first question before the House, was Mr. Campbell's Resolution in reference to the New Jersey election, with Mr. Garland s proposiUon to amend it Mr. Jenifer being entitled to the floor, ad dressed the House, in favor of the amendment, attack ing the course of the Committee with much seventy The morning hour expired 1efore he had concluded his speech. Mr. Jones made an effort to get the House to re solve itself again into a Committee of the whole, on the Sub-Treasury bill ; but Mr. RusseL Chairman of the Commjttee of Claims, insisted on the execution of the rule which-had set apart Fridays and Saturdays (after the morning hour) to the consideration of pri vate bills. The House decided in favor of going into a Com mittec on private bills, and the Whole sitting, until there was no quorum, was consumed in the discussion of a bill for the relief of Bailey 6c Deloid and one for the relief of Thomas Fillebrown, jun. when the House had to adjourn, for want .of a quorum. In tbe Senate, Mr. Calhoun made a Speech of con siderable lengthen the following Resolutions, submit ted, by him, on the 4th instant r j Resolved, That a ship or vessel on the high seas, in time of peace, engaged in a lawful voyage, is, accord ing to the laws of nations, under the exclusive jurisdic tion of-the State to which her Hag belongs, as much so as if constituting a part of its own domain. Resolved, That if such ship or vessel should be fore ed, by stress of weather or other unavoidable cause, mt6 the port of a friendly Power, she would, under the same laws, lose none of the rights appertaining to her on the high seas, but, on the contrary, she and her cargo, and persons en board, with their property, and all the rights belonging to their personal relations, as established by the laws of the State, to which they be long, would be under the protection which the laws of nations extend to the unfortunate under such" circum stances.
