Xarfcorottgl), FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1828. General Assembly. Monday last was the day appointed for the Legisla ture of this State to meet at Raleigh we will probably be enabled to insert in our next paper, the Governor's Mes sage, &c. On Monday week, the National Le gislature will also be in session we hope soon to present to our readers intelligence more interesting than the dry details of political strifes and con tentions which have of late encumber ed our columns. j In Maryland, the returns give 6 votes lo Adams, and 5 to .Jackson. In Virginia, the last accounts give the Jackson ticket 22.90S votes the Ad ministration ticket 12.764. In Ohio' the Jackson ticket has recei ved 53,343 voles Adams, 50,25413 small counties yet to be heard from. The Administration papers generally, have given up Ohio. The accounts from Kentucky and In diana are also very favorable they both will probably go for Jackson, and we doubt not but Louisiana will also be on the side of "Jackson and Reform." The vote in the Electoral Colleges will pro bably stand thus: For Jackson, ISO votes. Adams, 81 "The lorn -It is now placed bevond a doubt, that the people of these United States have une quivocally declared, that on the 4th of March next, the Republican standard shall again be unfurled at the Capitol at Washington, under the auspices of that UNWAVERING REPUBLICAN, ANDREW JACKSON. The sacrifice was great, was worthy of the end in view the most experienced statesman, ard the most accomnlished orator of the present day, men who have shared largely in the jiouors and in the contidence oi then fellow-citizens, are sentenced to pass in to retirement, "Unwept, unhonor'd and unsung." Prompted by an unchastcned ambition they dared to array themselves airainst the majesty of the people, and their fate will henceforth prove a beacon to aspi ring politicians. 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 30th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th i on !,:., Hanell's, Leggett's, Parker's, Logsboro', Cherry's, Mailer's, Pitt's, 42 85 41 21 81 64 97 51 36 IS 23 52 23 36 53 53 902 Presidential Election.

Many of the farmers in New-York and Vermont, and it is believed that some of the farmers in- this part of the Connecticut valley would do well to turn their attention to this crop. The cau ses which have hitherto operated to retard its introduction, are the labor and expense of dressing, ra ther than the difficulty of raising it. A machine has been lately in vented for breaking hemp and flax, rotted or tmrotted, by which these articles are prepared for market at n trill mo nvnnno rf time and labor, compared with the old modes of rotting and dress ing. Tiie breaking is performed before the rotting. Three hun dred pounds' of unrotted hemp or flax are broken per hour; it is then immersed m water from three to five davs, dried in the sun a few hours, and again run through the machine when it is soft and fit lor use. -was 60 feet higher than the spot on which Mr. Strong stood.

A friend has furnish ed the following particulars of an atrocious murder committed at Oxford, Granville countv, on the 4th inst. A man by the name of Moody r owier, was engaged in a quarrel with three or four turbu lent men, and was likely lo fall a prey to their violence; when his friend, a Mr. liobgood, stepped up and prevailed on him to leave the company. Fowler, however. conceiving himsell grossly insult ed, resolved to return and demand satisfaction, liobirocd, who could nut dissuade him from his pur pose, followed him brick, and, while attempting to pacify the parties, received several blows from a bludgeon, which so frac tured his skull as io cause his death the next day about 12 o' clock. 1 wo of the men accused of the crime, Henry and John M'- rarland, were apprehended and committed to prison.

In Granville county, on Sunday, the 2Gth ult. a lad ten years of age, son of Mr. Ransom Bregden, was killed at the residence of his grand-father, Stephen Johnson, Sen'r. He and a small negro boy in company with others, went to the field to drive up the horses. The two boys mounted one of the horses. with a whip each, and started for the house in full speed, and were soon thrown against a tree that stood in the way, which so severe ly wounded the white boy that he died in a few minutes. in that part of the countrv as they ;!r' C("lnr Crry, of Tarborough, Iiavn honn tl.U Snnn " Sn.no ryBell. thorn which grew from slips pur- S11 . , , ams wliat contending kings might claim: C-iased at the seed Store, ill DOS- Might bring brave armies to the plains, ton, have yielded one bushel to ' And ioudl' swe11 the b,ast of fame- ' live hills, while the common pota- muse we could but stay thy flight, toe, planted side by side yielded VZU only one bushel to thirty hills. .When ravish'd youth and beauty meet , 7" jllcre we must draw a veil betiveen, kxccii liG'rtS.

It wa related to us, a day or two since, by a person ot unquestionable ve racity, that while a party were en gaged, upon the 5th inst. near the village of Rutland, in this state, in firing at a pumpkin for a mark, a ball passed the object, and, after going eighty-one rods, as ascer tained by measurement, entered the mouth of a Mr. Strong, who was standing in the range of the gun, knocked in two of his teeth, and lodged in the passage of his throat. The ball was with some difficulty extracted by Dr. Cleave- land, of Rutland, leaving the sub ject of this unwelcome intrusion, "more scared than hurt," altho' some slight inflammation of the mouth and throat were experien cing to Mr. James Hester, of ced for a few davs. The mark be seen, ev'ry ear. Still in her smiles ye Cupids play, Still in her eyes your revels keep; Her pleasure be your care by day, And whisper sweetness in her sleep. Be banii'd each ill-natur'd care, Base offspring of fantastic spleen; Of access here you must despair, Her breast for you is tco serene. May guardian angels hover round Thy head, and ward off all annoy; Be all thv davs with ranture crown'd. And all thy nights be blest with joy." KS,n9rnpmmmm m j i ,mi i i imm t'rice Vnvseul NOV. 14.
