Chemical Pr ocess of Petrifying HUI
man FeSh.-The most novel and piquant
treat Of all others to me in the beautiful
cabital of Florence, was my several visits
to Signor Sigate, scientific gentleman
possessed Of wonderful art unique and
unknown to all the world beside. Incredi-
BILE, if not marvellous, as it may seem, he
had discovered a chemical process by
which he could actually petrify, in very
short time, every animal substance, pre-
serving permanently, and with minute ac-
curacy its form and internal texture, and
in such state Of stony hardness that it
could be sawed into slabs and elegantly
polished! n
He had in this way formed museum
Of various animals, such as frogs, fishes,
toads, snakes, and great variety of parts
}of the human body in natural and diseas.

human hyert lungs, heart, and other parts
thus pelrified, about the floor with perfect
limpuni.y, and without the least injury be.

Horrible Eocnt.-we sare panied to
learn that on Thursday evening last, a.
most horrible transaction took place in this
county, nine or ten miles from this place,
which resulted in the death Of David Jar
fnegan, Esq, and the woundiHg ofsseveral
other persons. The circumstances of the
affair are not sufficiently knownSto justify
a detailed statement. TIL" general facts
we will stale as we have heard them. It
appears that Mr.. Morgan had arranged
matrimonial elopement " ith daughter
oflhe deceased, which. with aid Of friends,
was accomplished on Thursday; the par
ties having repaired TO, house in the
neighborhood where tie marriage cere-
mony was legally performed. Upon learn.
ing the fact of the elopement, Esq. Jer.
negan became very Indignant, and deter.
mined 10 60 in pursuit. Taking a few
friends he soon reached the house where
the marriage party was assembled. We
learn that he forced the door and entered,
when an attack commenced, in which the
deceased received sundryswounds, which
produced his death early Yesterday morn
ing. Some others were wounded, among
them Mr.. j. F. Simmons, who we UNDER
stand is seriously if not dangerously in
inred. We have not heard further from
the matter. With the'deceased we were
we'll acquainted. He was,a wealthyiplant.
er, and possessed many fine points Of char
acter. His unlimely end is much regret

will no doubt be investigated, when the

in two horse wagon, having with them
three liklo looking negro fellows which

NOTICE..

Having been called upon repeatedly for infor-
nation respecting redemption monies on unseated
lands, which remain in the hands of Ex-Ireasur-
ures, | take the liberty in Justification TO myself
as well as for the good of Monroe county, TO state
that from all that / was able to ascertain at the
annual settlement in January last. upwards OF
81 600 GO was remaining in the hands Of Ex-
Treasures. l requested MI Bush, late Treasur-
er to render an account. of redemption monies re-
ceived 10y him during his term of Office, but he
refused TO do so;v-neither could | prevail upon
my colleagues, Mcssrs Mackey & Staples, to goin-
to a settlement with the Ex-TIeasurer concerning
the monies received by him on unseated lands.
now earnestly request Messrs Storm & Bush,
to examine page 20I of Purdons Digest, 9th edi-
ton, by George Stroud, where they will find the
act of assembly recorded, which expressly says,
that it shall be the duty of Ex-Trersurers to pay
over all redemption monies on unseated lands TO
their successors in office, and after convincing
themselves of the duty they have overlooked, or
neglected. to pay over the same at once to the
present Treasurer with interest thereon. Such
a course will save the Auditors much trouble at
the next annual settlement, besides showing a
willingness to obey the mandates of Justice.

MOVEMENTS OF THE DEMOCRACY
For the North Carolina Standard.

MEETING IN STOKES.
According to previous notice democratic meet
ing was held in Stokes County, at the Court
House in Germanton, on Saturday the 28th of
May last.
The meeting was organized by calling Hon.
John HILL to the Chair, and appointing Aaron
Barroa0 and Washington Payne, Secretaries.
The Chairman explained the object of the meet
ing in a feeling and appropriate address.
On motion Of Col L. Ziglar, the meeting pro-
ceeded to nominate candidates to represent the
County in the next General Assembly, after which,
on motion of the same gentleman, Committee OF
fifteen was appointed to report resolutions and Sc
lect from the nominations made, suitable persons
to compose the democratic ticket
The Committee after having retired short
time reported through their Chairman, Major
John Martini the following Preamble and Resolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted to wit:
Whereas, the whig party in the United States,
although, successful in the late presidential elec-
ton and with majority in both houses of Con
gress are yet dissatisfied and reckless in their de-
nunciations of democracy, and, are now making
another bold effort to carry the ensuing elections,
las they openly avow) for the cause Of a0higgery,
and not of the Country, and have even proposed
to change our present happy and republican Con
sttution to effect the @nhaLto1oed designs of the
aohig party, who have promised every thing and
done nothing for the relief of the Country: there
fore,
ResoIoed, That we will not support any man
or set of men for any political appointment whose
notions so much at war with the principles and
doctrines of the republican faith and which, if car
ried into practice would tend to increase the dis
tresses of the people and bring incalculable mis-
chief and ruin upon our beloved Country
Resolved, That the donation of twenty-five
thousand dollars to the widow of VIM. H. Harri
son was unauthorized, unwise and improper and
deserves the censure and condemnation of the peo
pie, because Congress has just as much authority

Great and intense movement of the people
One of the largest and most enthusiastic assemblies
of the kind ever known in the State. Tremble
Whiggeryl Your days of ascendency in this
State are numbered
The proceedings came too late for this week S
insertion The Convention surpassed our most
sanguine expectations. Never was there known
such a turn out of the yeomanry at this season of
the year. Enthusiasm, and bright and cheering
hope of complete triumph in August over dis
mayed and terrified Whiggery, glowed in the
bosom of all. People from the East, West,
North and South of our good old State there
met, consulted, and made resolute and holy vow
upon the altar of patriotism, that the prosperity,
happiness, and liberty of our country must cease
to be in jeopardy, by an early discontinuance of
the reign of Whiggery. Thousands were in at
tendance and amongst the most eager and intense
in our cause, were great number of those who,
in 1640, were the most active favor of the hard
cider campaign. Most of our leading State cham
pions were present, and delivered able, eloquent
and most powerful speeches. We have not time
to give even an outline of the Convention. We
have only time to rejoice, and to ask our friends
to prepare to rejoice. Seldom, very seldom, do
we hear or read of such great and determined
movement of the people as this was. The undivi-
ded attention of the immense assemblage, the de-
termination to hear the truth, and the harmony
and good feeling which animated the whole pro-
ceedings, were superlatively cheering. There
need not, there cannot be now doubt of the re-
generation of North Carolina in August
