Horses distanced in a dead heat. shall

XVIIL
Abort evidently weakened in the last
heat, had not flesh nor strength for such
a tremendous race. Every one regretted
thu, Denizen could not start again; he is
a splendid race horse aud credit TO the
breeding establishment Of MIR. Boardman.
Had he been allowed to start, immense
amounts would have been laid out about
him, as Grey Medoc's friends would not
have been surprised, al any amount, to
see him give way. But tho horses are
called and the jockics are up Cor the
FOURTH HEAT.
Altorf led of ut half speed with Grey
Medoc laying well up. TO near the end OF
the mile, where John Ford was ordered 10
lie, his horse stride along in consequence
they came through locked, and at a good
pace, though the mile was as slow us s:l6,
the first part Of it having been mere gal
Looping exercise. On the turn, after pass.
ing the stand, the indonitabie game and
strength Of Grey Medoc told. and he Gu,
down Abort in his stride. He never was
caught, but gradually widencd the gap
between himself and Altorfto the end, by
which the utter was distanced on immense
way. Grey Medoc ran the I'd mile liz 1868
the Sd in l:57, though one hundred
yards ahead, and the last or 10th mile,
in 2:O6. Hundreds we're signalling John
to hold him up, SO that Atorf might get
in his distance, or the last mile might have
been run under two minutes. Grey Me-
doc ran out his last mile rs strong and
indicated as much game and spirit as if
he was closing first heat. John Ford
rode him in style that would have done
credit to Chiney or Robinson, and the
gallant Grey and his honest rider were
greeted, as they came up in front Of the
stand, with degree Of enthusiasm sur.
passing belief. There we're hundreds
who were ready fairly 10 hug the noble
animal whose unparalleled exertions had
conferred so much credit upon the native
blood stock of America. John Ford,
upon coming out Of the scales, had his hat
filed with bank notes, while the spirited
owners Of the winner gave the trainer
half the purse and distributed the balance
among the boys in their stable. You can
form little conception Of the engrossing
excitement which prevailed. Recapi,ula-

aaifed. before the next regular session OF the Leg
stature. am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JNo. Nj. MoRElIEAD
Mr.. Boyden introduced the following Pre-
amble and Resolutions, which were read, and
on motion of Dir. Reid, ordered 10 lie on the
table:
Whereas il is NANTES; that nearly the entire
circulating medium of the Country must contln-
ne to b. Bank paper and, whereas, il is also
manifest that State Bank paper, created for To-
cal and limited circulation, can never answer the
purpose Of a general National circulating medium,
so essential IN the transaction of the business and
commerce of the Country between remote places
and. whereas, il has been decided by the proper
tribunals appointed under tia Constitution ~
make the decision, that Congress possesses the
power to create a National Bank
Resolrs9, therefore, as the opinion Of this Gen.
eral Assembly, that the establishment Of a Ma
tiona Bank is not only Constitutional but high.
" expedisnt, and necessary as well for admins
tcring the financial operations Of the Government
of the United States, as for equalizing exchanges
and afording other facilities TO trade and com
meree among the people, SO important to their
prosperity and happiness.
Rssoirea. further, That orr Senators and Re.
preseu:atiyes in Congress be requested to use
their best exeriions 10 procure the establishment
OF National Bank.
Mr.. Cardwell submilrsl the following Re
solution, which, on molten Of Mr.. Robards,
was ordered to lie on the table.
Resolrsd. That the Legislature OF State, act.
ing as the Representatives Of the People OF said
STATE, have the right to instruct their Senators in
Congress, and a Just vindicaiion of the character
Of our political Institutions requires that such IN
s,ructions should be given whenever Senator
msropresen,s the will Of the State upon grea,
questions Of Nationa! policy, OF in times Of pub
lie emergency.
Mr.. J. p. Caldwell, from The select joint
Committee on the subject, reported Reso.
luton authorizing the Public Treasurer to
borrow money TO pny the interest on the
Raleigh and CASTOR Rail Road Bonds
which, being read, was, on his motion, laid

THE MYSTERY USRAvELLED.---Capt Cor ham, of the sill-fated Charles,'' and his crew, rived at Charleston on the 9th inst in the schooner Ann, from Attakapas. The captain states that the Charles sailed from New Orleans the 1st of Ja- nuary,-that the Sd she spiang leak-that at o'clock a. m., the passengers and crew became very much alarmed, there being at that time two and a half feet water in the hold, with the pumps going all the time A consultation then held with the crew and passengers, which resulted in determi nation to return with the ship to New Orleans. The wind at that time light, at about North, the Ba- lze bearing N. by W. the crew being quite exhaust ed with continued pumping of the ship, and fearing she would fill before they could reach port. The passengers demanded be put board of the French ship Louis 14h then but short distance from them, and bound to Havre. After all the passengers were sent board the Louis 50 much water was found in the ship, it was the unanimous opinion to aban- don her, which was done at o'clock on the morning ofthe 4th of June. Finding the boats of the Charles insufficient to contain the whole, with the view of making port. they proceeded on board the Louis l4th, and meeting the Ann in the Gulf, they were transferred to her and carried into Charleston.
 The passengers publish card stating that Capt. Gorham did abandon bis vessel until it was found impossible to save her. -f Dg.,.a
 Thus ends this pretty drama about torn garments, bloody decks, murdered nnocents and long, low black schooners. It is astonishing how SO dreadful tale could have been manufactured out of such materials, and fit were not for the unhappy termination of the expedition under Gen. Smith, the whole woyld be very Imaginable affair. The corporation of N. Orleans, we presume, will have to pay very pretty sum for its alacry in trying to find what was be found and the New Orleanois must make up their minds to bear some very rough jokes on their gubility.

RoBBERY.-We learn from gentleman from Mo- bile, that Biddle's Banking Sysfem, has gone in- to operation in that city.

We look for nothing else, but the winding up of onr Banks upon the ssBiddle system.e Nothing but thorough in- vestigation of the Banks, with detailed account of all their business transactons will satisfy the public.
 The above infamous islander is copied fromthe Dem ocratic Watchtower, published at Talladega in this State The story is not only destitute of truth in any particular, but it has not shadow rest upon, torescue tt from the ignominy of most gratuitous and deliberate calumny. The present President of the Bank, is here quietly attending to his duties
 The late President left the Bank without owing it one dollar directly indirectly, we are informed The following resolution of the Board, passed on the occasion of the resignation of the late President is furnished us by friend of that gentleman for pbli- cation. It places the name of J B. Norris as Pres ident of the Bank, above reproach, name that has been hunted down by political malignty during the whole of his adm!nistration, and that too, by men who ought not to be able to mention the institution without blushing at their own proaigate connections with it. ly5.At4 si4 is am
