Hoke was in his 24th year, and has left an

Another rictim of The Bouie Knje-Mr. T.
Hayles of this county, in the neighborhood OF
this place, whilst III controversy with man.
by the name Of Funderburgh, received Sc
we're stab in the abdomen with a bowie knife,
Of which he died the following day. Funder-
burgh has fled from Justice. MIR. Hayles, was
a highly respectable citizen, and his untimely
end.is generally regretted. 1t is the first IN
stance of the fatal use of the Bowie Knife that
has occurred among us since the late law for
their suppression, Would that we could hope
it were the last But it is to be lamented,
that so general has.the practice of wearing
these bloody and assassin like weapons become
that many man who would contemn and de-
precate their use, is almost obliged to bear them
about him, as necessary means OF defence;
for no one who has seen these horrid instru-
nts,could think of protecting himself against
them in the ordinary way. Our Legislature
have gone far in their late enactment to sup
press this Bravo like practice, and have made
the carrying and using Bowie knife or such
like weapon, an evidence of implied malice,
and such it is in fact, as well as law, the
highest kind of evidence of a general malice,
towards all mankind. But there is one thing
yet left undone which will 60 far to preclude
the general use of these diabolical weapons
the act should have extended to disqualified
ton from office, and have been thus made
analogous to the existing duelling law.
The CHEROKEE IsD1ANs-In the last
Rutherford Gazette, we find letter from
Hon. James Graham, member of Congress
from that District, covering an extract of
letter from gentleman in Macon County, IN
which strong fears are expressed OF speedy
commencement of hostilities by the Chero-
KEGS of that part of North Carolina, and an
anxious desire for the presence of military
force to keep them in check. Mr.. Graham
adds, that in February last he addressed
letter to the president Of the U. States, urg-
ing the protection of that connt.y by body
of troops, and setting forth the danger of their
committing hostilities before the period of
their removal To this letter he received no
answer. By the influence of Mr.. Graham,
a company of Volunteers has been raised in
each of the Counties of Macon, Haywood,
Yancey and Buncombe, and on the first week
of July last, Mr.. Graham wrote to Gen. Wool
and Col. Lindsey, U. s Officers then in the
Cherokee country, informing them Of the or
ganzation of these troops, and asking their
employment in protection of the frontier.-
To this letter also he has receired no an
Suer. -.
HoRsEs.-The Journal of commerce says,
that the fall in the price OF horses, in connex-
ion with the general reverse of business, has
been very great. Spans which last year,
for the sake of taste and style, would have
brought $500 or 5000, will not now command
more than ha.f the money. One superb span
for which early IN the spring, $1,000 was Of
fered, have recently sold for $500. The
range of prices for single horses, $50 to Sl2o
each being rather better, when compared
with last year than in the case offancy spans.

We hear that the account of the Treasurer
of the United States, as audited and reported
upon by the First Auditor, for the first quarter
of the present year, showed the sum Of Forty
five Millions of Dollars either in the Pet Banks
or elsewhere. Of this. amount something
more than one half must have been paid out
for the purposes of the Government and under
the Distribution act. What portion. of the
residue is araitable, we shall doubtless learn
from the Message of the President or the re.
port of the Secretary of the Treasury at the
opening of the approaching session of Con-
gress.-Nat. Intel.
The Winchester Virginian gives this story
of the busy Bee: ..
A gentleman of this town, on Saturday last,
took from two hives about twenty live pounds
of honey, which he placed in dishes, in an up
per room Of his dwelling, with the windows up,
in order to let the bees escape that were on
it. The next morning the bees were found to
be collected in considerable numbers removing
the honey, and before they could be expelled
which was done II ct arms, they had succeed
ed in carrying off the whole. Thus, in the
| short space oftwo hours, and we are credibly
informed that they were not engaged at it
greater length Of time, they had carried away
about twenty five pounds ofhoney. The gen.
,leman has but six hives on his premises
This affords one Of the most singular instances
on record Of the industry of the honey.bee.
