Then it was that industry first proclaimed herauthority; and the majestic forest, which had only served to echo the savage howl and shelter the prowling li on, was forced to bow to iicr mighty will: to this succeeded the arts and sciences, and commerce opened the path to all the glitter ing allurements of wealth. But the sun of their liberty was doomed to be obscured by trou bles yet in reserve. Taxes were imposed by their mother country, which to them appeared highly illiberal and oppressive, and a gainst which they made vehement remonstrances, and transmitted various petitions to the King, and both Houses of Parliament were loaded with their memorials: in- 12. State Rights and republican pi in-i ciples. 13. The fair sex, the only monarch of our country: who rule without laws and conquer without arms. A number of volunteer toasts were given afterwards the com pany dispersed at an early hour in harmony. Virginia. ..'The Governor of Vir ginia has issued a proclamation, stating "that a majority of all the qualified votes given, is in favor of the ratification of the Amend ed Constitution; and that there appear, for the ratification there of, 20,055 votes; for the rejection thereof, 15,G53 votes."

The first emigrants to America, the hardy and aspiring sons of liberty, in or der to evade the oppressions of meir own country, and form to themselves an asylum of freedom, were wirmT to bear the greatest privations to accomplish their lau Gable design. Small colonies were established in various parts of this country, at first weak and oetaciied, and tor awhile thev were alike incapable of concilia ting the friendship of tho savage lnnaDitaqts of the forest or rerel ling uieir insidious attacks; but through the most indcfatiiraliln exertions, they at length succee ded in establishing themselves as independent proprietors of the in honor to the day. 1. The day we celebrate: ever to be honoured by the sons of America. 2. "Our Federal Union. It inust be preserved." North Carolina: amonpj the first in to the was complimented.1 unwavering patriotism, ever Confederacy. 4. Richard II. Lee: the patriot and statesman who first kindled the flame of American liberty; ever after zealously supported the same, and died as he liv ed, in blessing his country. 5. Patrick Henry: the child of gen ius and liberty, who rode in the whirl wind of the American Revolution and directed the storm to Virginian liberty; at the same time sternly supported the liberties of the Union. G. Thomas Jefferson: the sage, patri ot and statesman, who stood at the helm and directed the vessel of liberty to the land of freedom. 7. Lafayette: the idol to whom the friends of liberty pay homage. 8. Our Chief Magistrate: ever devo ted to the love of his country. May his stern patriotism, and decisive admin istration, forever banish in shame from the mouths of freemen, that hackneyed word mduury Chieltam. 9.

On Mon day last, in this city, a quarrel a rising between Louis Franklin and Etheldred Allen, the latter stabbed the former with a dirk in such a manner as seriously to en danger his life. We arc inform ed that his situation is a precari us one, the dirk having been ob structed in its passage probably by a rib, broke ofTand left a piece of the weapon in his body, which has not as yet been extracted. Allen is in jail. Reg. .Great Drought. The Fayet teville Observer says: It has pro bably been several years since so great and distressing a drought has been experienced as now pre vails in this and the adjoining counties ; and we fear that its cF fects will be most serious upon the growing crops of corn. The Cape Fear River is supposed ne ver to have been lower, and we learn that many mills throughout the country arc stopped for want of water, in some instances put ting people to the'great inconven ience of travelling 30 and even 40 miles to have their corn ground. Census of FayctlcviUe.u jor Strong, Assistant Marshal has just completed the Cenua rf this Town, and ascertained th whole population, white an i black, to be 2325 persons. The total population of th; town in 1820, was 3552, exhibit ing a decrease since that time 0f 727 ; a very considerable portion of that decrease, however, ha been caused by the running 0fa new line of the town, by which $e veral hundred inhabitants haVg been excluded from the town lira. its. Observer. A Mistake. It will be recoj. lected, we published some time since, a communication made to us, ore tains, that Mr. Wilson, in a moment of mental allienation, had hung his wife to a sapling and had left her swinging, dead' upon the tree. We received a letter from Mr. Wilson lately, de nying that his mental faculties had ever wandered from him, and assures us that his partner was domiciled with him, safe and sound. It was highly illiberal in our informant, whoever he was (for we do not recollect at present) to make a statement of that char acter, without the best evidence of its authenticity. .&as&M?7 Car. Melancholy casualty. Mr. John Daniel, a young man, aged about 24, much esteemed by Vis acquaintances, was killed in Da vidson county, on the 11th inst. by the upsetting of a cart while driving from Widow Ilancs' mill to Mr. Win. G. Beard's. The oxen were going at a moderate rate, down a hill ; when, by one wheel's striking a stump, the cart was turned over ; and the railing cf the body striking the young man on the head, he was almost instantaneously killed. ib. Gold Mines. A writer in the Hillsborough Recorder, on the re sources of the State, makes the following remarks on the Gold Mines: " To pass from agricultural to mineral wealth, our State can cer tainly claim a pre-eminence which no other will challenge. Through the wide extent of thirteen coun ties, the most precious metal in the world is found in quantities which every successive day mul tiplies, and the pursuit of which is drawing thither the capital and enterprize of our own wealthy countrymen and of still more wealthy Europe ans. It is com puted by an intelligent and prac tical minor tlinf ntipnst a million of dollars will be realized during this year from the various gow mines of the State; and it is a fact notorious that we are yet in the infancy of the mining art, and may look forward to more than quad rupling this amount at no distant period. Besides the direct influ ence which the accession of goW will have in augmenting ourna tional wealth, its more remote in fluence will extend to almost eve ry other branch of industry. The farmer will find a ready and goJ market for his produce; the mer chant will find an increase bota in the number and ability oHJI:3 customers; and in fine every one who labours at all will find a
