North Carolina Election. -The' Election in
that State for members of Congress, took
place on Thursday the 18th instant. The re.
turns, as yet, are not complete. In the dis
tricts lately represented by Mcssrs Edwards,
Sanders, and Conner, there was no opposition,
and those gentlemen were consequently re-
elected In the Edenton district, lately re-
presented by Mr.. Gatlin, it appears that Mr..
Lemuel Sawye; has been elected by MAORI
ty of about 800. In the Raleigh district, Mr..
Mangum, the late representative, was op-
posed by MIR. Josiah Crudup. The former
was reelected by majority of Sc votes only
John Long is reelected in the Rowan dis
trict, over his opponent John Giles. VIII
lis Aston has succeeded over George Out
law, the late member from Northampton, Ha-
lifax, &c. In the district composed Of Green,
Craven and other counties, John Fl. Bryan
has turned out Richard d. Spaight-Mr.
Bryan was not candidate for Congress, and
was also elected to the State Senate. And in
the Cumberland district, John Culpepper has
been defeated by Archibald Mcneil. Thus
far, four of the old members have been left
out. Four more districts remain to be heard
from-in all of which, there is opposition; and
in three, out offour, change is anticipated,
Mr.. Outlaw died few days after the cleo
ton.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, GEO. }
MilledgeUille, 9th Tug. 1925. :

"diouSoofHe3 Ott SA"S' io~o' }
SIR: A letter purporting to be yours,
which appeared in the last Georgia
Journal, and having every characters
tic of an official one, could not fail to
attract my attention. Immediately,
therefore, on my return to this place,
enquiry was made at the Department
for the original, and l learned with
surprise that none such had been re-
ceived-the proper means were then
resorted to, to ascertain the authen,ici.
ty of the published letter, and having
been satisfied that the same was in your
proper hand writing, have lost no
time to direct you to forbear further
intercourse with this Government
Having thought proper to make repre-
sensations Of your conduct to the Pre-.
sident, | have ordered you to be fur
nished with acopy Of every letter writ.
ten on your subject, and which will
reach you in due time. Any commu-

The Milledgeville Journal, of the 9Th inst.
contains the following rumor, which the let
ter of the Secretary Of War to Gov. Troup,
published in another part Of this paper,
pointedly contadicts--no money will be paid
or any other steps taken, in relation to the
Treaty, before the next session Of Congress,
unless it be to prevent survey OF the lands.
"Impmtant-We have rumor, and
it seems to have rather better founda-
ton than rumors usually have, that
Gen. Gaines has been instructed to pay
the first instalment under the late
ty to those Indians who made the Trea-
ty. We hope it will turn out to be
true: for the people of Georgia will
hail with pleasure this act OF justice
and good faith on the part OF the Ge-
neral Government towards the lndi-
ans"

A child in Upper Canada, bit by a
mad dog, and exhibiting the usual APP
pearance in the sublingular glands, has
been perfectly restored by the careful
and repeated application of the lancet
and caustic to the pimples and tumors
beneath the tongue. These tumors
made their appearance on the evening
of the zenith day after the bite, and were
Immediately discharged by the. lancet.
The same process on every reappear-
ance of the tumors, produced cure of
this alarming disease in about a week.

The National Journal of yesterday, con-
tains brief notice, by Commodore PORTER,
ofthe piece published day or two before in
the same paper, signed ''rHonAs RANDALL"
The Commodore justly remarks, that his
whole conduct, in relation to the Piratlcal Ex-
pidition, has been investigated by two Courts
of Enquiry and Court Martial: that the pro-
ceedings will shortly be land before the pub
lie; and that he is willing ''to abide the issue"
In regard to the sentence of the Court Mar
tial he expresses himself in the following Dig
nifed manner:
''In allusion to what purports to be editorial
remarks in the Journal of this morning, have
only to say, that ! have been tried and judged
by my peers, and bow with Difference to
their decision. have endeavored through
out my trials to defend my honor as became a
man, and trust that can bear my punish
ment without repining. No one has yet heard
me murmur at my sentence; and until they do,
no apology appears necessary tor either the
Court or the prosecution. do rot cypress a
doubt that strict justice has been dispensed to
me, and know not what causes induce you
to believe that doubts rest on the minds OF
others, as the article alluded to would seem
to imply"

The Senaca Farmer OF the 18th inst. corrects
the report of Gen. La Fayette's having sent
the widow of Captain Parsons $500 dollars,
Immediately after the unfortunate death of
that gentleman by the bursting OF a cannon.
"The statement was premature and incorrect"
says the Farmer, "Captain Parsons was SIM
gle man. This morning, however, Jesse
Clark, esq. p. NJ. of this village, received
a draft on the United States Bank for $1,000,
in behalf of the widowed mother and her ia
mily, who were dependent on the deceased
for protection and support, accompanied by
letters addressed to the Hon. Pierre A. Bar
ker, esq. and Committee of Arrangements,
and to Mrs. Parsons"

We mentioned in our Supplement ofyester
day that the Meteor from Liverpool, and the
Don Quiro,e, from Havre, the first bringing
dates to the 9Th, and the latter the 18th July,
inclusive, arrived at New-York on Friday after
noon. The last evenings mail brings still Ia

ed the day afterwards.
The Parliament was prorogued on the 9TH
of July to the 25th of August, and was COM
plimented by the King for extending COM

1t is denied by Spain that there were a.
ny connections in Toledo-all was tranquil.
It is also denied that the French are fortltying
Tarifa. On the contrary, they are said to be
leaving it. Three thousand men are about to
sail from Cadiz for Havana, which are to be
furnished with arms by the government OF
Spain, and their clothing, transportation, and
provision, to be supplied by a private compa-
ny at the rate of so piastres per man. Most
of the wealthy merchants have quilted Mad
rid, and vested their means in the French
funds, under the apprehension of forced
loan.
The latest accounts from the Greeks are OF
the most cheering nature. Many fresh lau-
rels have been gathered since the brilliant
achievements at Moron. Admiral Sachtury at
tackled the Captain Pacha, near Mytelene'
on the 2Sth May, destroyed all his frigates
and one brig; besides twenty smaller vessels,
which were either taken or sunk. After this
disastrous affair, the Pacha fed back towards
.andros, in order, if possible, to reach Myte-
lene.

THE EYE OF GREY.

Poets have praised the eye Of black,
And eulogizcd the melting blue
lave laid their fancy on the rack,
To celebrate each varied hue;
But not one single word they saw,
About the pleasing eye Of grey.
l like the mild grey cyc-the faces
| most have loved, had eyes of grey;
And if each glance cmits nor blazes,
AS those of black, know that they
Possess a charm that can subdue,
Hearts that withstood both black and blue.
The fair is fair, with eyes of black
With eyes of grey, is still more fair
And what the last in life may lack,
Is made up by the softer air,
Impaired to the lovely faces,
That grey and blue 50 often graccs.
The black may pierce the gazer through,
And make the lighted spirits dance
Our souls may melt before the blue,
Or die away in pleasures trance;
But will still my homage pay,
TO the enchanting eye of grey.
The eye that kindly beams on me,
Shall always meet q like return;
And will bend the ready knee,
Where'er those chances melt or burn;
And idolize the lovely hue,
Whether Of grey, or black, or blue. E. II
