Burning of Benrs Fort.-The ST. Louis
Republican has letter from independence
dated the 9th September, which says:
To-day Messrs. Paladay and Riley, who
accompanied one of the Government trains
under charge of Capt. Keits, as far as Little
Arkansas, arrived by way OF Bent's Fort. Or
the 10th August he was sent over in the di.
rection of Kit Carson's settlement. on the Mo.
70. In returning he fell in company with the
train of Capt. Keits.
"While they were encamped at the Hole in
the Rock, they heard distinctly loud report
resembling that of cannon. They journeyel
on, crossed the Arkansas river on the 23d OF
August, and came up TO the site of the Fort
and saw that the rubbish of the buildings was
all that was left. 1t bad been burnt down by
the Indians, and was still smoking and burn.
ing on the oath when they left it. They now
were able to account for the report, as the
magazine belonging TO Bent had been fired.
The guns and traps were consumed. anC
it is supposed all the goods, books, &c. o.
Bent's concern has shared the same fate. The
pack saddles and riding apparatus were no
destroyed, as they were still in the bas'ions
What had become of Mr. Bent, or any one
connected with the concern, they could no
tell; there was no trace of them or thei
whereabouts AS our informant came dowr
the Arkansas they saw the trail of the cattl,
from the Fort. On the 18th of the month Mr.
Bent relieved Mr.. Fisher, and the latter wen
over towards Toas"

One more Spesch.-A correspondent of the
Pennsylvania furnishes the following, which
is nearly as rich as the Baltimore speech, re-
ported in the Argus:
"The General is rather peculiar in his style
OF oratory. During his recent tour, he arri-
we'd in town in western Pennsylvania, where
he was welcomed by the public functionaries
in an address from their leader. The General
replied Fellow citizens, | am very much
obliged to you for your reception, and fol
what your spokesman has said of me. {Here
the General violently twisted his watch key. }
| have come among You, into your noble State,
plain citizen, TO look for myself Having
been, for the greater part of my life, in the
service Of my country. haven't seen much
of your noble State before, and like it very
much, because you were my friends and have
an excellent Governor. Here he looked hard
at Gov. Johnston, standing beside him. He
has shown me such thingsin your noble State
that was astonished. have witnessed your
mineral and other agricultural productions
hem-(aside, Johnston! what did you pinch
me for .-don't-oh)-h em--other productions,
which do you credit; and you ought all to be

G-The Bank of Fayetteville, we see is
now issuing one and two dollar notes, as we
believe it is allowed to do by its charter
We notice the suggestion made by some of
the journals of the opposite party, that the
next legislature should extend similar privi-
lege to the other banks of the State. From
this we must dissent tn toto. The granting
of this privilege 10 the Bank of Fayetteville
we have always regarded as matter of, at
least, doubtful expediency. 1t seems to US
that all the banking capital of the State car
find active employment without filling the
channels of circulation with shinplaster cur.
rency 10 the total exclusion of specie, as
would be the case, were the Banks authorized
to issue small bills, and we cannot but REGARD
the example of the Fayetteville Bank charter
as one to be avoided, rather than followed ir
this respect.

FLORIDA ELECTION the late election in
Florida, there were five Senatorial vacancies
TO fill. In those districts the federalists had
four; the democrats one. The result of the
election is gain for the latter of three, just
reversing the figures, and giving the democrats
four and the feds one. These changes give a
democratic majority of one in the State Sem
ate, instead of a federal majority of five, as
was the case during the late session.

power having refused to acccde to the demand
of the Emperor of Russia for the surrender of
Kossuth, Benz, and the other Hungarian "a
triots who have sought refuge within the
Turkish dominions. 1t is said that the Turk

Petersburg, carrying with him the refusal of
the Sultan 10 comply with his demand for the
surrender of the Hungarian refugees Diplo-

CATION Laws, on what footing the commercial
relations between the United States and Great
Britain will be placed on and after the first OF
January next-the day on which the recent
act of the British Parliament goes into opera

First. In consequence of the alterations o
the British navigation laws above referred tc
British vessels, from From British or othe
foreign ports, will, (under existing laws) at
ter the first of January next, be allowed tc
enter in our ports, with cargoes of the growth

TIE WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER ROAD,

The WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER ROAD.
We know that we have already made many
appeals to the parties interested inthe progress
of this great work. urging them TO the ener-
ge,ic prosecution of il 10 completion, still we
wish to keep urging. lest our people should
become forgetful or remiss in a matter of SO
much importance 10 Wilmington, and which
promises TO confer so many advantages upon
her. Much interested as the people of this
and of the line on its construction, we are
sorry to learn that it is far less advanced than
the other end, or indeed, than the central por-
ton. In short time considerable extent of
the road between the Pee Dee river and the
South Carolina Railroad will be put in opera
ton, and produce carried by it to Charleston,
a large proportion of which, were this end OF
the road completed, would find its way &c
| Wilmington. This result has been accom-.
plished by the South Carolina Stock holders
working out their stock, and taking new con.
tracts without claiming the legal delay upor
the payment of stock. We are assured tha
the same course would be adopted by the PEG
pie of Columbus, in this State, were they Ger
tain that they would be met by correspon
ding movement on this end Will not this b,
done? Can it not be done somehow or other
The road, if made, would bring to Whining
ton trade as rich, if not richer, than any sh
now receives.
We have no hesitation in saying that thi
road is of more importance 10 Wilmington AM
the people of this section, tfan any and all O
the projects which have been started within
the last two years. We desire the success
and improvement of every portion of tn
State, but we think that this project calls fol
t and will repay, all the exertion that our PEG
pie can now make.
