f,v his friends. There was no person
present at the time but a small son of
Ir. Craven, who gave the alarm to
some other hands who were engaged at
work in the same field. To his numer

Encouraging. We are highly grati
fied to learn, from a statement in the

Shipicrcck. The schooner John Bart
lit Capt. Pitcher, which sailed from
this port last month, with a cargo of co: u
for Dighlun, in attempting to cross the
&vvash at Oeraeoke, on the 24th, struck
several times, and the wind blowing fresh
from the N. E. was driven ashore, where
she thumped so heavy that she bilged,
and with the cargo is totally lost. The
vessel and cargo were owned by Mr. H.
N. Williams, of this town, and we are
dad to learn thev were insured, though
not (or an amount sufficient to cover the
loss, as the vessel had recently under
gone a thoro' repair. Eliz. City Star.
The Washington Union says: The
above mentioned vessel has since been
gotten off, in a leaky condition and bro't
to this place.
A strange fatality (says the Star)
seems to attend vessels from this port.
This is the third lost by Mr. W. in the
last six or eight months. The sehrs.
Champion, Capt. Hawes, and Advance
Capt. Tillett, sailed from here last fall;
tin former arrived at Dighton, discharged
her cargo and was on her passage home;
the latter sailed for the West Indies,
since which neither of these vessels, or
any of their crews, have been heard
from. Besides these, a brig owned by
Mr. II. M. Knox, of this place, and com
manded by Capt. Slocum, made a voy
age to the West Indies, sometime in the
fall or winter, since which nothing has
been heard of her, and her crew have no
doubt found a waterv grave. All these
were staunch well built vessels, new or
nearly so, well found and commanded by
old experienced shipmasters who were
residents of the place; two of them have
left families one a wife, the other a wife
and several small children, to mourn their
untimely end.
fUBenjamin F. Seaborn, who was in
dicted in the Superior Court of Wake, on
a charge of having set fire to the city
of Raleigh in September hist, but who
subsequently removed his cause to Cum
berland county, was tried on Friday last.
After a laborious investigation, the Jury
retired and in about fifteen minutes bro'i
in a verdict of guilty. A motion i ri ar
rest of judgment, on account of defects in
the record, was sustained by Judge Mar
tin, and an appeal to the Supreme Court
was taken on behalf of the State.
Latest from Europe. The packet

of importance to our previous intelli

The Private Correspondence of the
London Times with Holland, states a
number of facts "which go far to show,
that the prospect of continued peace in
Europe is daily diminishing." 'lbe

The Statesman,

Super Royal Sheet, with good type, at Jour

the 2d September next.
'MIE Subscriber, in fixing his jiermanent residence
at the Seat of the State Government, and assum
ing; the Editorial duties of the Statesman, (in winch
he will he assisted by seveval gentlemen of talent and
leisure,) yields himself to the wishes of n.nny i.f his
friends, who think there is room even in ttaleigh for
a paper of this description. shall see.
The Statesman will vigorously support the rights
of the States, and at the same time the rights of the
United States, (as embodied in the Federal Govern
ment by the Constitution,) as the best and surest
guarantee of the Union itself, and of the continuance
of that protection to life, liberty and property , which
it has afforded tb the States for the last half century,
in their career of greatness and prosperity altogether
without a parallel in the history of the world. A it
will have come in only at the death of those district
ing topics which lately agitated the country, it will
claim no share of the spoils. Peace to their ai.es!
But the Statesman's firincifial care shall be North
Carolina our own loved our nativ e land. The im
provement of her institutions, the prosperity and hap
piness of her people, the assertion of her just rights
and the due and proper honor of the talents and vir
tue of her sons shall be its firincifial concern.
Although she was the first of her sisters to snuff
tyranny in the breeze and dared to be free and ever
since her Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence,
and on every emergency, whether threatened by for
eign or domestic dangers, she has, meteery crisis as
became a patriotic and brave people; and even hesi
tated not to give her own daughter, Tenntssee, to add
another star to the proud banner of the Republic,
and another arm to the national defence. And al
though possessing a territory, soil? climate, popula
tion and wealth, and with intelligence and moral
worth, which entitle her to'rank among the first of
her siaters, yet strange it is, she is almost unnoted by
them, and by the Federal Government also, except
to make her pay taxes in peace and fight for them in
war; her citizens scarcely participating at all in the
honors and emoluments of their owu Government!
But who says North Carolina sleeps? They will find
her wide awake to her rights, and resolved to main
tain them; they shall find the Statesman claiming for
her- her rateable portion of the public wealth and
for her sons, a fair participation in the public honor
of the country and refusing to take a tlenial.
The Statesman will search for the hidden mischief
and ferret it out of our institutions which has produ
ced the present state of things. Something must be
wrong, else, beside all the rust, why is it tnat with all
our resources, the public expenditure exceed the in
come about seventeen thousand dollars a year? The
people should know these things and the certain
bankruptcy which is staring their State Government
in the face. If, as is probable, the radical fault is in
the present basis of representation, the Statesman
will contend that it should be changed and made
equal and satisfactory to all; if in our Legislation, we
say dimiyiish the number of Representatives and have
only biennial meetings, and by a change of policy, im
molate our unwise feuds on the altar of State good
and present to the Union unci the world, one united
and affectionate people. The Statesman, too, will ad
vocate geneial Education, and a judicious system of
Banking, commensurate with the wants, of our peo
ple; nor will it forget to urge the speedy approxima
tion of the mountains with the sea board, by means of
a Central Rail Road, via Raleigh to Beaufort; and al
so the complete opening of those great arteries of the
State, viz: the Cape Fear, the Pamlico and the Albe
marle. Raleigh, too, shall have her full share of the
benefit of our labors. In 1830 she had them, in our
exertions to procure at the expense of the State, for
the better security of the public property, a Fire En
gine of capacity and power sufficient to throw a hea
vy column of wat'.r on the dome of the late Capitol,
with Hose and one hundred fire buckets; she had
them by our vote and exertions to secure the continu
ance of the Seat of Government where it now is; and
she shall again have evidences of our good will.
In conclusion, the Statesman will support the
Administration of President Jackson, hut at the
same time contend for low tuxes and a cheap
government; it will always be very pood natu
red to its friends, but plaguy cross and saucy to
its enemies, for whom, a rod will always be kept
in pickle: early and regular reports will be giv
en of the proceedings of th State Legislature
and of Congress; and the best speeches which
may be made in both these bodies: interesting
law cases in our Courts will be collected and
spread before its readers; and in a word, its col
umns will ever contain something useful and
amusing to the Farmer, Merchant, Mechanic
and the Scholar, and gratifying to the Christian.
There will be pretty things for the ladies, butter
nuts for the gentlemen and even sugar-plumbs
for the children; so that all may be suited fop
their money. Like a good ship, the paper will
be well found, and wilh plenty of sea room, that
is, plenty of good subscribers, it will weather
many a storm, and safely enter the desired haven.
Should this happen, look out for a merry making
at every new year; when we invite all our punc
tual subscribers and patrons lo call on us and re
ceive our best wishes with a hearty pump handle
shake, and a glass of the very best Sruppernong,
or old Nash Peach, that our cellar affords.
QJThe Editor reepectfo.My requests the
North Carolina editorial corps, to give (his Pros
pectus an insertion or two in their respective
papers, and the favor shall be reciprocated as op
portunity serves. And he also requests Edi
tors, Postmasters and his friends generally, bat
especially those members with whom he has ser
ved in the General Assembly, to interest them
selves in their respective towns and counties in
behalf of the Statesman, and procure and frwid,
(by the first day of August next,.) as many irood
subscribers as they can conveniently procure.
