and it is now staled that Shumla is hard

Public Documents. We have been
politely favoured, by a Member of Con

"Letter from the Secretary of the Treas

interesting to our readers:
Mr. Long, of this State, moved
the following resolution, which
was rejected, 35 to 102:
Resolved, That the Committee
on Manufactures be instructed to
inquire into the expediency of re
ducing the duty on Molasses and
Salt.
On motion of Mr. Hall, it was
resolved, that the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads be
instructed to enquire into the ex
pediency of establishing a post
road from Stantonsburg, N. C.
via Hadley's Mills, thence by
Falksbridge to Smithfield.

It is believed by some, that
there is at present an interregnum

Constitution declares, that the
Legislature shall, at its first mee
ting after each annual election,
ehuse by ballot, a Governor for
one year. Governor Iredell was
elected on the 7th Dec. 1327, and
the question is, did the functions
m his office end with the 7th Dec.
1328! or is it the whole session
of the Legislature to be consider
ed, like the term of a Court, but
as one day! Various construc
tions are put upon the matter by

sState Bank. The Directors
6i this Institution, at a special mee
ting held on Saturday last, declar
ed a dividend of two and a half
per cent, on the Capitol Stock,
tor tne last twelve months. This
will be unpleasant information
to the Stockholders, especially to
such as may depend principally
upon their dividends for support;
but taking into view the losses
which the Bank has sustained by
failures in the course of the past
year, and other circumstances, the
Directors were of opinion they
would not be justified in fixing the
dividend at any larger sum.
At the annual meeting of the
Stockholders which commenced
yesterday, we shall not be surpri

jVJ'It. EDITOR, there has recently ap-.
peared in your paper some strict
tures on the conduct of the Bantist
Church at Poplar Springs, in Franklin,
county; and myself, as the Clerk of that
Church, in a trial of Elder WILLIAM
T. NEWBORN for crimes alleged a-
gainst him. I wish you, sir, to let the
pumic Know mrough the medium olyour
paper, mat the l,hurch did acquit him,
because in the exercise of their united
wisdom they did not think the nroof
sufficient to exclude an Elder from
church fellowship; and as he wished
some testimonials ot that fact, the Church
ordered me as Clerk to write him a cer
tificate to that amount; and believing,
through the insinuations of Elder New
born, that it was the ordinary way of
doing business, I ventured to affix the
name of Elder William B. Worrell
to said certificate without his knowledge
o
or permission, for at the trial he served
, 1 ft !
tne unurch as Moderator.
