stated that prior to hy> execution he was itiforiE

oppressed of all nations, |ie would Le released,
and might escape the sanguinary fate that await

such a man as Rouen, Fjrrimet to seek a shelter in
America from the oppressions of his own native

Return of the First Teller,
Wra. B. Dabney, late Ist Teller of the Bank
of Virginia, returned Sunday night by the cars
from Fredericksburg, in company with a friend
for whom he had written from Canada, in order
that under his protection he might avoid appre
hension by some one for the purpose of obtaining
the large re-vard offered for him. Thus bv his
own voluntary act be has placed himself in the
hands of the civil authorities prepared to submit
to the penalties of b.s crime.
This is a remarkable event, and proves the no
ble and honorable character of the Teller. Jt is
inexpressibly gratifying to his friends; and no man
could have warmer. They have asserted his in
nocence of any crime for his own benefit, and d -
nied that he had carried away the Bank’s m~ney
throughout his absence. Whatever may be his
gnilt his submission to the laws of his country
will redound to bis lasting honor.
W tn. B Dabney can unlock the mvstery of
the transaction which ended in the immense d
falcation—by throwing by the curtain and ex
j hibit the actors in the drama. This apart from
otner considerations, should, as it does ; occasion
j general joy at his return.
From the Fayetteville fS. C.J Observer of the 13ri’i.
Awfcl Stoex.—On Saturday last about
noon, the most frightful storm visited this place
and the surrounding country, that we have ever
witnessed. We have heard of such things, but
we have met with no one who ever saw them be
fore. A black cloud which came from the West,
suddenly discharged its contents of wind and
rain, and hail, in a perfect deluge. The hail
came down at first in small bodies, and rapidly
increased in size, until it fell in masses almost as
large as a man’s fist. The largest one we saw
, measured 9$ inches in circumference, but we
heard of one which was picked up nearly twice
as large, it continued for about 10 minutes, in
which time it destroyed the greatest part of the
growing crops and gardens within its range, pel
ted down nearly all the Iron, and broke from 20,-
000 to 60,000 panes of glass in this alone.
’ Pigeons flying in the air were knocked down
dead, poultry were killed, and horses standing in
the streets were frightened and galloped off in all
directions, and indeed ?uch a scene of alarm we
have never witnessed.
It extended over a space about 4 miles wide
perhaps 30 in length, in ail of which the ground
is covered wdlh fallen vegetation, or the leaves
and branches of trees. We have heard of no
person being hurt.

If any thing could exhibit more of extreme folly

than any thing eke, it is the la*t clause con Lamed
in the first resolution ! What, we a*s hu Martin
Van Boren had to do with me Indian affairs of
Georgia 1 The last ireaiy made with the Ddians
was made in December, ]S3o, which was ratified
by the Srenate while Mr. Van Buren was the pre

he was bound to do, by the obligations of his oa.h
of office. W hat superior cla-m, :hen, does ihu fact

charge is, that l*e has never given and refuses \o
give any pledge to veto a law aoolishing slavery in
the Unmet of Columns, and we h-re design to
compare the prun -ipJes of Genera! Harrison and
Mr Van Buren on this question, w hich will reply

Genl. Harrison—Abolition.
In consequence of the
by the Van Horen party, ol the oputioos of Genl.
Hanson on tr*e subject of Abolition, our fim da
ty is to correct these erroneous impressions. To
uo tt in an acceptable manner to the whole South
is ol the more impamru e, because of the tnugni
tode of the subject. That we shall do it ia such
mar-ntr we do n-A hesitate so belive, and here we
take occasion to remark lo the reader, that we d i
nos ask him to helive any statement or asserts >n f
ours, but w e only ask Vr.ra to read carefully and at
tenaveiy ihe v f ews cf Genera] Harris an, as ex
pressed by him on various occasions, from the year
ISO 2 up to the present tune, when and wherever
an opportuni’.y presented, either before the people
or in the council* of ibe conn try.
We therefore curame. ce tu-dsy w.th the prxif,
and will take occaaion to remark, shit Grnerel
Harrison is now an old man, — nas been in pobiic
life wuh but little intermission near forty years :
durins which lime, 1.-e has hsd frequent
to expresr* hi* opinions up?on the surjectof s.svery:
on all of vs hick he nas i >ne so as oecarae an inoe
pendent f.eeman, as became she son of Virginia.—
And on no occig.-.n, has he ever uttered a seem
ment, that his come to our knowledge, which in
ihe slightest degree, can, w.’hoaC great perversion
ol the sense, be tortured mlo a support of :,.e w,i
scheoKs of ihe Abolitionists
The first evidence which we submit forthe con
sideration of our readers. we copy frrun the Eraan
cipaior, *nd Rochester Freeman, which pipe*s are
organs oi the Abolitionists. In which it wi.l be
seen that they exhibit the recorded opuuca* erf'

principles are aiirady wel known by h,s deeJs of
which we fiml ttie ludowing summary in ihe Ko
