Southern Resumption.
The uirectoie of the Bank of the Stale of North
Carolina, announces, in the Raleigh Register ol
the 23d inst., that their Bank and its branches
will, on the Ist of August next, resume t he pay
ment of their respective liabilities in sfiecie. This
move, will doubtless determine most of the Banks
in the South to adopt an early day for the resutnp
(ion of specie payments.
Another Murder.
We learn font the Columbia (S C) Telescope
of Saturday last, that the body of Mr C Boyle,
8 citizens of that district, was found in the woods
near his plantation, on the Satiinlay ptevious,
in a condition which shewed ho had been beaten
to death. On Thursday, some of his slaves wore
tried by a court of magistrates and freeholders,
when four negro men were lound guilty of the
murder, and condemned to be hung on Friday
the 10th of August.
Coroner’s Inquest.
An Inquest was held on Sunday night last, by
Isaac HendricKs, Esq. Coroner, over the body of
Kichard Findley, found dead, near Summerville.
The verdict of tho Jury was, that “the deceased
came to his death by intemperance.”
North Carolina Elections.
The Election in this State for Governor, and

The Whig candidate for Governor is Gen. Oud.

Missouri Abend.
We learn by the N O Picayune, that a club
of gentlemen at St Louis, offered to hel 313,000
in sums of a thousand, that the Whig candidates
for Congress and the Legislature will be elected
at the election in August—SloOO (hat Martin
Van Buren will not he re-olccled—and 1000 (hat
T H Benton will not be sent back to the U. S.
Senate. They requite from those accepting the
bets, a certificate that the money is not the money
of tho Government, and that it has nut been
procured from certain office holders, from the
funds of the government in their hands, to be
used for this purpose. This requisition appears
to be a pretty keen thrust.
Wc learn from the Geo. Mirror of (he 21st ult.
that Templeton and Hays, who committed the j
murder published in our paper some time since 1

higher up the Yellow Stone. The Assinchoines

“Hero tben is lhe opening of a field of opera

emigrants (locking in lo such a degree, (we arc
assured by private letters,) as almost to produce
a famine, and Ihe only obstacle which has hereto
fore restrained the shipments of our mercantile

This grand impediment is now therefore remov

give her an importance as a cotton growing slate,

Extract of a letter to tho Editor of the Green

“Laciiens District, S. C. July 23.
“JI Homicide was committed at Parks' Oid
Field, near Laurens (J. H. on tho 21st hist, upon
the body of a Mr. Sexton Dunahoo. Dunahoo,
after some feud witli Elihu Poole, of this Dis
tricl, procured a gun lot the avowed purpose of
shooting lit in, and made a desperate ell’ort toexe..
cun hisd.cadful purpose; but this being wrested
from him, he seized a slone and pursued Poole,
who being hard pressed, and having retreated
some distance, shot lam with a pistol. And
strange lo relate, after receiving the ball, whicli
passed through ins heart anil lodged near the sur
face of his body, apparently unconscious ol it, he
grappled with his antagonist, anti will) his stipe,
rior strength, prostrated Poole, thrust his lingers
into his eyes, and was castigating him severely,
when Poole cried out, and Dunahoo was taken
off, breathed a moment, and expired, to the pio
found astonishment of all present, who had not
hitherto thought lie had been injured by the shot
of Poole. This extraordinary fact rests upon
the authority of several eye witnesses of unques
tionable integrity.
