SATURDAY, SEPTEM'R 21, IS50.
Proscriptionpunishment.
On Saturday last, the post office in this
place passed into the hands of Mr. Samuel
E- Moote, whig, in place of Mr James M.
Redmond, democrat, removcd.Mr. Red
mond has performed the duties of post
master here promptly and acceptably for
the last 14 years, with the exception of a
few months in 1841-2, when he was su
perseded by Mr Moore, through the in
6trumentality of Mr. Stanly, then Repre
sentative in Congress from this district.
Through the urgent solicitations oftfiej
people, irrespective of party, Mr. Red
mond was soon reinstated. Mr. Stanly
though not now in our district, can neith
er forget nor forgive the stern opposition
to him of the stiff-necked democracy of
Edgecombe, and as the "no-party" ad
ministration of President Taylor has been
succeeded by the "party" administration
of President Fillmore, Mr. Stanly has
availed himself of his accidental and brief
power, by another effort to proscribe and
punish the democracy of this county. .
(fyWe tender our thanks to the Hon.
J. R.J. Daniel, and those other members,
who have kindly favored us with public
documents, copies of speeches, &c. during
the present session of Congress.
Cons ress.
In the Senate, Mr. Seward's motion to
fcmend the bill to abolish the slave trade
in the district of Columbia, so as to abol
ish slavery therein, was rejected by a vole
of 5 yeas to 45 nays Messrs. Chase.
Dodge, Hale, Seward and Upham voting
for it.
The final vote on the District Slave Bill
was taken in the Senate on the 16th, and
resulted Ayes 32, Nays 19.
In the House of Representatives, on
the 12th inst. the fugitive slave bill was
passed by a vote of 109 to 75. This com
pletes the "adjustment" measures, and
Jj opes are entertained that it will quiet the
slavery agitation which we hope may be
the case, although we doubt it very much.
Congress is to adjourn on Monday week
next, when we may reasonably entertain
the hope of a temporary calm at least.

53We are informod that the Legisla
ture of Texas adjourned on learning that
the Texas bill had passed the Senate and
that they provided for submitting it, if.it
passed the House, to the people of that
State the Legislature having no power
to alienate the territory of that State. The
Legislature, therefore, laid the bill for
levying troops, on the table.
The Nashville Convention We are
glad to see by recent paper that elections
of delegates, to the Nashville Convention
are going on. That body meets t,v ad
journment in six weeks after Congress ad
journsand will therefore convene about
the middlo of November next. We hope
it Witt then contain a large representation
of thij Southern States, o as to be a great
Southern Congress. ib. .

M ississippian, that "came last evening,
brings the following letter from Governor
Quitman, of Mississippi, which we com

Southern submission. ib.
Jackson, Aug, 18, 1850. .
"My Dear Sir: Your note of yester
day, calling my attention to the comments
of the Vicksburg Whig upon an article in
the Sentinel of Thursday last, was receiv
ed late last night.
"I find nothing in your notice to justi
fy the comments of the Whig, especially
after the M ississippian of the 19(h July
had defined my position upon this subject.
1 therefore see no reason to avail myself
of your kind and obliging offer to deny
that you spoke by s authority from me.
Desiring no concealment, I have no ob
jection tint it should be known, that I he
lievc the title of Texas to the territory
claimed by her on this side, - of the Rio
Grande, to be indisputable; that the forci
ble seizure of any part of this territory by
the national Executive, would be a wan
ton act of despotism, which should be
sternly resisted bv Texas; that as the evi
dent purpose of this movement is to con
vert a portion of her territory to free soil,
the Southern Stales should make common
cause with Texas; and that in the event of
a collision of arms, or great danger there
of, I would deem it my duty to convene
the Legislature of this Slate, and recom
mend to them the adoption of prompt and
efficient measures to aid our sister State
in the maintenance of her clear rights a
gainst Federal usurpation. Nor have I j
doubt that in so doing, I shall conform to
the will of the great mass of the people of
this Slate.
"I remain, very respectfully, your
friend and obedient servant,
J. A QUITMAN.

II. Weightman, elecled a United States
Senator from New Mexico, arrived at St.

Washington, with a view to lay be (ore the
Governrpcnt an official copy of the Con

New Mexico, and urge their claims to ad

It appears by a correspondence that has
taken place between Col. Monroe, the
militarj' and civil Governor of the Terri
tory, ami Don Manuel Alverez, lately I

elected Lieutenant Uuvernor, that there
is already ;i conflict between the authority
of the United States and the newlv or

which they still further complicate the
difficulties respecting that Territory. ib.
Slaveholders going to California.
We notice that an extensive expedition is
in course of preparation, to leave Charles

tered of losing thern, and that thousands
! more would have been taken were the ;
(owners cer,an of being protected in the!
nftnt of cnJyinK bis species of labor in
lnat country. 1 hose who have already
tested the experiment, avr that slave la-
bor is a much better investment there
than in the United States, the labor of a
single slave at the mines being worth ten
dollars per day. A slave in California is
now valued at $5,000.
The success of this enterprise is ren
dered the mote probable, from the fact
that several letters from influentia) persons
have been sent back to the U. S4 exhibit
ing the profitableness of slave labor there.
and asserting that a large proportion of
the citizens have become convinced of its
advantages, and that there is consequent
ly an increasing desire for its introduc
tion. Should the enterprise alluded to
prove successful, its effects will be seen
in the vastly enhanced value of slave
property throughout all the States, where
it now exists.

Georgia. This last session of the Geor
gia Legislature authorized the Governor
to call an extra session of that body with
in ten days after the passage of a bill for
admitting California as a State into the
Union. The Washington Union of Sat
urday says: "We understand that a respect
able agent of Georgia, who' is now in
Washington, is authorized, as Foon as a
bill passes for admitting California as a
State into the Union, to obtain a certified
copy of it, and transmit it forthwith to ihe
Governor of the State. As soon ;is this is
received. Gov. Towns intends to summons
a convention of the people, lay the whole
matter before them for the purpose of re
considering it, and then to propose a gen
eral convention of the Southern States. "

Gone, to Liberia. On Wednesday last,
Daniel Williams, a negro man, and his
family, 12 persons in all, left New Berne, I
on the Schr. Ann Maria, for New York,
en route for Liberia. The whole family
was free except its head, Daniel, who be
longed to Messrs. A. Wade and C. Slover.
The sum of $1,000 has been made up in
New York for the benefit 'of the family,
of which $400 was applied to the purch
ase of Daniel, about two thirds his value,
and the remainder is to pay their passage
to Liberia, and settle them. Daniel is a
taqher by trade, and also - an engineer.
We understand he expects to go at thc
tanning business in Liberia, or to be en
gineer in a Sugar Mill. Quite a disposi
tion prevails among the negroes of New
Herne. to emigrate, and we should not
wonder if a considerable number leave
for Liberia during the next twelve months,

gone give favorable accounts-of tlc complied with Co, n.' A cargo 0f2iCtc,

: The Crops, The great storm i n
July, and the Hurricane in August, have
made sad havoc with the '''crops particu
larly corn, in the Atlantic States from
Georgia to Maryland. In North Caroli
na, greater and more ' extensive damage
has been done than. in any other'State.
From the mountains to "the sea board,
from the Virginia to the South Carolina
border,' there is a universal cry of com
plaint. On the Roanoke immense damage
has been done to the corn;- in Hyde, one
of the largest corn growing counties in
the Union, for its size, the planters will
hardly make enough for their own con
sumption. The North counties have suf
fered severely, and the farmers on Neusc
and Trent, do not expect to make, more
than half a crop. North Carolina wili
hardly make corn enough for her own use.
The fodder has been nearly destroyed bv
the severe winds. The wheat crop too,
in the eastern portion of the State, was ru
ined by the rust; and in the western see
tion, it was materially injured. The hur
ricane last month blew down gre-.it num
bers of the turpentine treesthat havebern
backed th it is, boxed on both sides, and
this crop will be considerably diminished.
Take it all together, we apprehend the
coming year will be one of unusual scar
city, and of high prices for breadstuffs, in
North Carolina. In the North Western
Stages, the wheat crop was very large, but
we have no advices with respect to the
prospect for corn. ib
