IOTHE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE REGISTER

In consequence of Jhe greatly increased cost Of
publishing the REGISTER in Washington city,
and other reasons not necessary to state here, | de-
termined al the close of the last session Of Congress
to return with my establishment to Baltimore, but
before ! could complete my arrangements for that
purpose the death Of my father occurred, which me.
lancboly event increased the difficulties with which
| bad TO contend, and caused the suspension Of the
" REGISTER" until the present period, from which
it will be published, in this city, with its former re-
gularity, and with, | hope, increased evidences Of
zeal anj industry.
In again ressming the publication Of this tine-ho-
nored work, ! cannot refrain from expressing my
grateful Acknowledgements TO my numerous friends
in various sections Of the Union for the deep inter
est they have manifested IN my personal affairs, and
tor the speedy resumption of the publication Of the
REGISTER; and ! know they will learn with plea
sure that, If the subscribers to the work (which have
not Tor many years been so numerous as at presently
will make some amends for their past neglect, and
pay their subscriptions with a moderate degree of
punctuality, il will soon be placed in its old and
prosperous condition, and may continue, for anoth-
er generation, an g honest chronicle Of the events
OF the times, to which all may resort in the conf
dent belief that =" the truth, and the whole truth is
fairly and fully stated.
Several Of the omitted numbers have already been
forwarded to subscribers the remainder, with the
induces, will be completed with all possible des-
patch, and for the future the work will be puncin.
ally forwarded on the day of its publication and so
securely packed as to ensure it's safe arrival in the
most distant sections of the Union.

NORTH CAROLINA.

1.-THE FIRST GuN."-STAELEY RE-ELEcTED.
Returns sufficiently authentic from all the coun
ties, except one, in the Third District in North Car
DINA, have been received, TO enable US to state, pos
itiyely, that EDWARD STANLEY, the youthful and
chivairous denouncer of the misdeeds Of the Admin
istration in the last House Of Representatives, has
been triunphnnt!y reelected. His majority, it il
estimated, will be over FIVE hundred votes. The
defeat Of Mr. STANLEY, was confidently calculated
upon by the administration, and all that could be
done to compass ii was done. He was denounced
as having leagued himself to the abolitioHis,s. and
the charge was sounded far and wide. Every
species OF argument which ingenuity could devise
was brought to bear upon himself personally. The
" sub reasury" too was brought into the field and
the Administrator rested its popularity upon that
measure, believing that the South would 60 almos,
en-masse for its support. That too failed, as well
as every other effort that was made. The result is
a most gratifying enc, ard we now look with conf.
dence to the future contests in the State, for the
happiest issues. This is but the harbinger Of a Sc.
ries Of yictories which, we trust, are TO crown the
efforts OF the great Wing party with entire success.

DEPARTURE OF THE TWO STEAM SHIP.

Thursday in New York was a gala day. In the
morning all was anxiety in regard to the departure
os tie two great steam ships and "a the hour an
preached, ut which II was announced the two yes.
sells would leave their moorines at the wharf the
streets became comparatively deserted, and the
shores on either side ofthe river were literally swar.
ming with a multitudiuous crowd of people. The
Courier and Enquirer says that on the New York
city side, the vessels at The wharves were crowded
from their decks 10 their maintops, every spor from
which a sight Of the river could be cauglt, even the
house tops, wa. filed; and the Battery IN particu.

Yard to Red Hook, the Heights were lined Nth
spectators, all anxious, fnot TO gfatify their curios.

steam ships depart. Perhaps an expectation that
there would be something like "A Trial of speed be.

usual quantum of the mighty power which impcls
them.
AT about twenty minutes past one, the firing ofa

parture from the wharf, and she proceeded, occa-
sionally firing az she went, along the usual channel

Seldom, indeed, nave we heard of a murder Of
greater atroctiy than one recently perpetrated in
Scott county, Ky J on the petsen of Mrs. Eliza
beth Risk, By a negro woman, her servant. The
circumstances ale thus detailed by the Georgetown
Banner of Friday:
The negro woman had been ordered by Mrs. r.
from her work in the corn-Geid, and told 10 make a
FIRE. The fire was goi ready, to which was added
an unusual quantity Of dry brush, the blaze from
which Mrs r.. was endeavoring to extinguish,
when size was thrown headlong into the fire, BY her
servant woman, from which awful dilemma she soon
extricated herself, but unfortunately, in her retreat,
she again came in contact with hernegro, by whom
she was leyelled TO the ground with an axe, which
penetrated her skull To the brain otwithstanding
Mrs. X. again rose to her feet, and was again
knocked down, and the negro having procured a
sharp pointed knife, epdeavored to cut Mrs. RS.
throat, but missed her aim, the knife having been
plunged into Mrs. Rs. mouth. severing her tongue
in two.-The negro, full bent on executing her bel.
lish design, continued to use the knife on Mrs. RS.
body, until size lay motionless on the floor, and was
supposed by the woman to be dead-who ran with
all possible speed to the field and informed Mrs.
RS. husband that her mistress had fallen into the
fire, and burnt herself to death. Mrs. K. so far ro-
covered as to relate the circumstances to her nus
band and others, to all which the negro afterwards
made acknowledgement She has been tried before
an examining court, and sentenced TO await her f.
nal trial at our September court.
