A report has been put in circulation by persons ua.
friendly to Capt. B. JiNKINS, of the City Watch,
evidently with the design to defeat his election-that
because OF their politics. And we feel ourselves called
upon in justice to our Captain to say that the report is
without the least shadow OF foundations; and we do not
tain the political opinion of any man, who ia now, or
ever has been connected with the Watch. For n his
past conduct he has proven himself of too magnani-
nous spirit to condescend to act SO degrading.

PAINFUL OccURRENcR.-We regret to hear
that most painful occurrence took place at New
Hope, in this county, on Friday last at the reg-
mental muster. Mr.. John Patterson, anda Mr..
Jos. Ross got intoan alteration, during which, the
latter gave the former the lie; wherenpon Patter-
son struck him and knocked him down. the back
part of his head striking the floor with consdera.
bic violence. causing conclusion of the brain,
which terminated in death on Sunday morning.
Mr.. Patterson was admitted to bail by Judge
Thompson, on yesterday, for his appearance at
court. He is quite respectable man, with a
large and highly respectable connection in the
county-and we are sure that no one can deplore
the sad affair more than he does OF the unfortu-
nate man who lost his life, we know little, if any,
thing. We understand he was intoxicated at the
time of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mess.

ed shows zeal and determination which are sure
harbingers ofspeedy success. The amount ($3O0,-

ceived notice from Mr. Sauve That he and Mr..
Minor Kenner are ready to construct at once, at
their own cost, the supersructure for this road
across their plantations, and give good assurances
that the same will be done by all the planters on
this line of the road
This spirit and liberality look we'll for the GER

thorize the immediate commencement, with the
assurance of a speedy completion. We shall be-
glad to see it. The large subscriptions to both

the strength of the interest in internal improve
