THE NoRrHEAsrERN BOUNDARY.

The Woodstock IN. D Times gives the follow

from England, who came out in the briiannls, tor
the purpose of completing the survey which was
left unfinished last season.
"Cao,. Bnoueuros, r. E.. MIR. FEAruERsroS-
BAUau Jr. and Mr.. w tGHTMAs, with surveying

stand thew will commence operations IN the neigh
borhood of the Grand Falls, thence they will pro
coed to the Southwest, and will, in all probability,
fall in with the American party that have proceed
ed up the kennebec."
The following is the plan of operaiion OF the A.
mercan Commissioners. as announced by the Au'
gusta Age. Two Of the Commissioners have arr
we'd in Maine Cor the purpose OF entering upon their

westerly towards the hrst patty and the third par.
ty to start from the Monument Of Mars HILL and

says
y" Notwithstanding The assertions which, during
so long period have been so confidently urged
that the United States, alone can tightiully claim
the territory in question, We hope 10 have proved
that the claim of Great BiiIaln does not, as ha'
been aedged, rest upon vague and indeien'ib'

RgsunPTi5S.--The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can Of the 81 inst. says-We learn that negotia-
lions for a temporary loan by the Boston and other
Banks, have so far been completed, TO sette the
question of a certain resumption OF specie payments
by the Banks of this State, before the day fix
ed by law This is cheering, for although money
may be for season, yet all good citizens
must rejoice in the prospect Of having currency
Of which they need not be ashamed.
The late dearly bought lesson will no doubt,
prove salutary; its good effects would have
been thwared, if the Administration of This State
had the power to continue draining the Banks by
forced loans and thus compel them to ISSUE bills of
credit TO increase their capitals.
REsuarTioS.-The Richmond Compiler, after
giving favorable statement as to the condition of
the banks of this State, expresses the opnien that
the South will be ready to follow Philadelphia and

in a small wagon. under suspicious circumstances,
and brought into Charleston. Upon examination
it was ascertsined that the youth was a female,
dressed in mans apparel. She aPpearsto be about
20 years Of age, delicate, and not very hoHey, and
passed under the Of VIM Kelland. When
we we're introduced in her domic by the iaor. she
gave US her name as Martha Chandler, resident
Of Dinwiddie county ia this State, and lived aboui
twenty FIVE miles from Petersburg, and fise miles
from place called Rocky Run. Says her parents
are dead and she has been residing With her sister
a small farm, her interest in which, she sold to
raise money for this adventure.
One OF the negro fellows was dressed a f.
male, he a bright mulatto, gave his name ia
cob, and says he is the property Of Bur@ell Elder.

Miss Msriha's object was to take up her resi-

She appears, from the conversation we had with
her, to have Just awoke to the Nervousness Of her
crime, which she at once and promptly confessed
Tbs simple and unaffected stsry she tells, induces

she has friends 10 Dinwiddie they should at
