SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1849.
Steamer Amidas.
This beautiful little steamer.entered our
waters for the first time on Saturday last,
gallantly towing four flat boats, laden with
goods, wares, merchandize, . &c. for the
merchants of this place. She has been
repeatedly here since, and promises to be
a fair experiment of navigating Tar river
by steam, being well adapted to that pur
pose. Success attend her.
(PIt is stated in the Raleigh Stand
ard that Gen. Thomas J. Person, of North
ampton, has resigned hit office as Briga
dier General of the Fifth Brigade.
Florida. A. E. Maxwell, Democrat,
has been elected to the State Senate from
JLeon County, defeating Noah Thompson,

FOR THE TARBORO PRESS.
Law anil Religion have met Church
and State are about to kiss each
other in North Carolina.
The subjects of Pope Pius 9th, obeyed!
less while Gov, Manlv has obeyed more
the subjects of the Pope rebelled, but
Gov. Manly in obedience to the Resolu
tion of thelaet General Assembly, has is
sued his Proclamation recommending a
day of thanksgiving to Almighty God,
without a murmur. Degenerate sons!
That august body, the General Assembly,
has not contented itself with attending to
the civil matters of the Slate, but has be
gun to take religious matters into their
hands also. Constantino like, they would
dictate to every min's conscience what ii
shall or should do. Ii is true we sec no
penalty annexed in said Resolution, but it
is only hid; and if the people will tamely'
submit year bj year to executive recom
mendations and proclamations, there will
be enactments of laws with penalties by
such spirits and if the Legislature have a
constitutional right to enacl the one, they
have a right to enforce the other. ,
Again, if such aright is granted by -the
constitution to our Legislators, they of
course have as much right to appoint chap
lains one for the Commons and one for
the Senate, and fix their salaries at S500,
just as Congress has done. And if the
appointment of Chaplains to each House of
Congress is consistent with the Federal
Constitution and a republican government
Jike ours, they certainly have as much

fathers opposed a tax of 16,000 lbs. tobac

From the Halifax Republican
Halifax Superior Court. The Fall
Term of Halifax Superior Court was held
here last week Judge Battle presided
with much case. His charge to. the Jury
was clear and able. It is hardly necessary
for us, on the present occasion, to say that
no Judge who visits this section of the
State, stands higher, or is more beloved
than Judge Battle. All who know .him
love him for his righteous decisions and
goodness of heart.
Although Court did not adjourn unti
Saturday, there was not a great deal of bu
siticss on the Docket.

Freshet in the Roanoke. The recent
Rains caused the River to rise, so as to

Corn has been under water; and we fear
many of our Roanoke farmers have met
with heavy losses. The River has so fal
len as to enable our farmers to gel out the
Corn that was under water, and we would
suppose if gathered in time, and the prop

Stewart's dry goods establishment,
The entire cost of the edifice is estimated
at a little within $300,000; and the con
templated additions which will extend
the range of buildings from Read street to
Chambers, will probably cost about $200,-
000 more. These improvements, we
learn, arc speedily lo be commenced, their
delay having been occasioned by the re

he has just returned, and where lie has

are his arrangements, that when the press
of his wholesale trade begins to wane, his
retail department is found to demand the
largest hare of his attention; his weekly
sales averaging from 10 to $50,000.
Some idea may be formed of the extent of
his operations, from the fact that recently
he paid for duties on importations, for one
week, 5170,000; and on one occasion,
$90,000 in a single day.
There are about ISO persons engaged in
