Destructive Fire in Fayetteville, N. C.—The late pa
pers contain the melancholy intelligence that the
town of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was, on thc2 f Jth
tilt, almost literally burned to ashes. The fire ia said
to have commenced in the North west corner of Mar-
bet square, then communicated itself to the Town
bouse, and afterwards to tho other square, raying for
three hours, and consuming not less than six hundred
buildings. Only two stores were left unonnsumed; all
the Uunks, the Churches, tho State-houw*, and nearly
every dwelling-house, besides immenm- quantities of
valuable property, were utterly destroyed. Much of
the property removed, was afterwarda burnt in the
streets and lots. A correspondent of the Charleston
Courier cays, “ The Banks of Capa Fear and United
States saved their papers. It is anid, hut I know not
with what truth, that the specie in the U. S. Bank ia
in tho ruins. For one third to a half mile square is a
mass of ruins.” The same correspondent also informs
that “ the fire was arrested North, near the Court
house, Fast, below Liberty point; South, at the State
Bank; and West, above Mrs. Barge’s Hotel.” 'Hie 1
whole amount of loss is variously estimated at from

Tho news from France, compared with that front
other F.uropcan countries, is not materially interesting.
The principal item of intelligence is the prorogation of
tho Chamber of Deputies by Louis Philip, which took
place on tho SOth of April, and continues until the 15th
of June. Tire King went on horseback to the Cham
ber, und delivered a speech, in which he adverted to the
glmious revolution uf July, to the in'ermediate and
present state of affairs, interlarding *,c whole with
dpecions promises and assurances of undimini died zeal

by tho people,both on his way to tho Chamber, amt on

The following are the reasons which Mr. Lumpkin
gave in February last, for declining to accede to what
he says, were the wishes of his friends; and also those,
which he now says, induce him to cumc fore aid. We
[dace thorn in juVa-posttion." (Here follows Mr. L’s.
letters.]
“ N “* m the first place let us ask, if the trust confi
ded to Mr. Lumpkin, is nut us impoituul now, as it was
in February last ?
Ill the 2d, wltcthrr he has become convinced that
he cannot he as useful in promoting the “political in
terests” of tile State as he at first thought he was ca
pable of doing t
In the 3d, whether there does out exist at present as
great necessity to counteract the monopolizing spirit
ol a “ combination of small tniuuritiea” in (tie Congress
of the United Slates, as there ever Uid at any previous
period ?
If Mr. Lumpkin will answer the first and last inter
rogatory in the negative, and the second in the aflir-
mative, wo will absolve him from the charge of incon
sistency which we have priTcrrctl against him.
It cannot avail Mr. I.., or Ids friends, to suv, that it
is “ the will of the people" thut lie should be broiighl for
ward. I lie people have never expressed any such will
—neither have they given any one authority to do so
for them. . 11 they have, when anil where was it given?
The truth is, the declaration is made with a view to im
pose upon the people. The Augusta Chronicle and
redcral I nion, we believe, were the only two papers
in the State that solicited Mr. Lumpkin to desert his
post for an expectancy jn future, which Wc feel confi-
dent, as wc have before said, he can never realize—un
less, forsooth, the Editors of those papers can Convince
that thuy-te
portent nc<

vanetd by Col. Troup, will not ho denied; and tve pre
Hiinte it will also be admitted that Mr. Lumpkin is the
candidate of the Clark party. Your course is a plain
one—oveiy man who delights in advancing those prin
ciples which have been so clearly and successfully mark
ed out by Col. Troup, will on the first Monday in October
next, hasten lo tiro polls with his ticket endorsed—

fVom the Columbus Democrat.
“ We suppose it will not tie prudrnt to doubt any
longer the fact of Mr. Lumpkin's being a candidate for
Governor at the next election. Ilia Idler to our es
teemed friend cf the Augusta Chronicle,consenting to
become a candidate, and giving Ids reasons for that
course, will bo found in this day’s paper. These rea
sons pt l imps aro nearly us good as those which com
pelled him, a short time since, to retain his post in
Congress. But will they last as long? Will they sor
vivo the l)og days. Abus verrons. Bur if our Ini'mis
arc disposed to ion him, why let them do so; ourofler-
ing an individual opposition will answer no good pur
pose that vye ran conceive of; and reserving to our-
selves the right of voting for whomsoever we please,
wc will leave others at liberty to do the same.”

The Creek Indiana.—We have seen frequent accounts
of the distress of this unfortunate people, and of the
state ofatatvation to which they are now reduced, in
consequence of the failure of their crops last season.
Some ol them hud determined on removing to the West,
therefore made no provision lor their support; but oth
ers declined going, and the General Government, it ap
pears, resolved not to aid a portion in removing, with
out the remainder should go also. The expectations
ofthe Creeks have thus been disappointed, am) from
] this cause arises the want and misery that exists among
the hazard uf a charge uf repetition- It is fruui the
Carolina Gazette :
The Creek Indians. —An opportunity is now
afforded to llnisn pliilanlliropisls, who have
been moving heaven and earth for the well be
ing of the Indiana, lo put their charities into a
less equivoral form, and save from absolute
starvation, the perishing tribes of the Lower
Creek Indians, now occupying the border ter
ritory of Alabama,at its junction with Georgia.
Their hunting grounds having long since been
worn out, afford no game; and the severities
of the past season, preventing the growth, in
a grent measure, of their usual slock of pro
visions— limited as that always lias been—to
gether with their personal exposure to the in
clemencies of a winter, almost unparalleled in
our Southern country, has not only already
greatly thinned their numbers, but has left the
residue in a condition, little short of absolute
starvation. Lured by the artifices of design
ing men among them, they have boon persua
ded in opposition to their obvious and best in
terests, to remain in a section of country, in
which, hemmed in as they are by the white
settlements, in a limited territory, their gnme
has been exterminated ; and where, even
though suffering under the stimulus ofhunger,
they cannot be moved to labor, save with some
few exceptions, for the preservation of file.
They must either perish, or beg, or steal. In
doing this, tho commission of crime is fre
quent—with the whites whom they rob, tltev
become cm broiled—they refuse obedience to
the authorities they offend, and the ultimate
consequence is, (bat, in their refractoriness,
they are compelled to undergo, not merely
tbe penalties of (he law, but all the exactions
of a roused and exasperated people. Their
only hope is in removal—this wc know from
our own enquiry and from personal observa
tion. Where they now exist—if a life such as
(heirs, may be called existence—they can
scarcely procure sufficient gnme for their mo-
ensins (Tulibac.li)—certainly none to dispose
ot to travellers—once a fruitful source of pro
fit among them. The good mrnuing people,
who have striven so industiimisly, and have
succeeded so well, in keeping them where,
even if lefl to themselves, without let, obstruc
tion or interference, they must inevitably per
ish, will Imvo a fearful responsibility to an

Dear Sin,—I learn with some surpri
from your enquiries, as well ns those of miters,
that an impression has been made on the pub
lic mind lo a considerable extent, that tbe
Cubinct was so much embarrassed by the dir-
seosions of its members, as to tender it inca
pable of transacting tho public business. Vor.
may be assured, that there is not the s!ig!.(es;
truth in such u rumor. The official inter
course of tho Hoads of Departments with each
, , - other and will, the President, has never, to tn'
knowledge, been interrupted fora moment',
nor has nny diflerence of opinion as to tho
tnensures ofthe government divided the cabi
net in a single instance, so far us I recollect,
according to the line of separation now sr
generally ascribed in the public papers.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
S. D. INGHAM.

reason and sober reflection.

“ 1 lie best veins of gold arc not horizontal,
nor olten vertical; but have a dip 45 degrees
to the horizon. They vary in width from u
few inches lo several feet. They are not eon-
fined to hills at all, but are found ulso in the
low lands. These veins are often parallel to
each oilier at unequal distances. Their depth
in most places has not been ascertained •'
There linvc been no shafts sunk lower than
120 feet. In some ol'lhe mines tho galleries,
or lateral perforations, (or nrebnd entries as
they may be called,) extend a great distance
in various directions from the main shafts,
and so reach the veins. They nre usunfif
about twenty feet, one above another, which
enables the miners to work with the greatest
advantage. It is not five years since thvso
