North Carolina Elections.
The Fayetteville Observer of the 11th, gives
the returns from thirty-nine counties, in which
the Whigs have elected 04 members, and the
Vans 45, with I uncertain, he being opposed to
the administration, hut in favor of the Sub-
Treasury. Whig gain, S.
There arc 26 counties yet to he heard from,
electing CO members. Os those, in the last
Legislature, the Whigs had 27 and the Vans 33.
Supposing them to return a similar number of
each parly this year, the aggregate of Whigs
would be 91, and of Vans 78, with 1 doubtful.
Tho whole number in both Houses is 170.
But we hope, says the Observer, to gain in
Onslow, Cockinghatn, Mecklenburg, Burke and
Vanccy, Currituck and Chowan, and Pasquotank.
Wc cannot see where we can lose more than a
member or two.
The gain has been so apportioned between the
two Houses, thntil wo maintain only the ground
we have gained, we shall have a clear majority
in both Houses.
Alabama Elections.
The Mobile Mercantile Advertiser of the Kith,
gives us returns from twenty-two counties, from
which it appears, taking tho candidates to be for
and against the administration, us sot down by
the Loco-Foco papers, the Whigs have elected,
including Senators and Representatives, 27, and
the Loco-Focos 26.
The Marion Herald gives the returns from all
the counties in tho Congressional district but one,
(.Talladega,) and according to these, Crabb’s ma
jority over Ellis, is 791. The Herald says that
the vole in Talladega will not vary the majority
materially.
Che Herald in commenting upon the result of
i ho election in Perry, remarks :
The great corites' so long and fearfully antici
pated in Perry county, is finally decitled ; and con
trary to our expectations the cause of truth and
justice has triumphed. hiuch a strange and un
natural amalgamation of parlies lias taken place,
within the last year, that the Whigs at one time
thought they were swallowed up in the confusion
produced by an unnatural union of nulliticrs and
\an Buicnitcs. Many of the Whigs had dispmi
ed of the prospect of success, and consequently did
not bring a full ticket into the field ; we however
teel assmed from the success that has attended
our cherts that v.c could have elected a full rep.
resentatiun, as readily as one man. The respec
table majority given to General Crabb, theJWhig
candidate for Congress, induces us not to dispair
hut urges us to combat the powerful influences
operating against us, like, men determined to res
cue their country from ruin and oppression, or
nobly fall in the attempt.
Missouri Election.
The St, Louis Bulletin slip of the 1 tli inst
soys.—" Yesterday was n glorious day for the
Whigs. The lateness of the hour forbids com
ment, hut the result in this county, which we give
in another column, will cheer the heart of every
lover of his country. Our entire ticket is ahead,
and to morrow and the next day will only swell
our majority. We have routed them, horse, foot
and dragoons—they arc conquered,and they know
it. Allen’s majority over Harrison, which about
equals the aggregate vo'.e, is two hundred and live.”

Ilelnlions with Mexico.
M c learn, says the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce, that Mr. Martinez, the Mexican Minister,
has been detained at New Orleans, waiting for
full powers from his government to negotiate with
onrs, concerning a settlement of all points in dig.
J'ute by mediation.
The communication with Mexico has been so
interrupted by the French blockade, that it is on
ly within a lew days that the necessary creden
tials were received. The Ambassador is now
expected forthwith at Washington, and it is said
that appearances arc very favorable for an ami
cable nnangemont. The King of Prussia, it is
said, has been thought of as mediator.
New Orleans Hanks.
According to a statement published in the
Bee of the 14th, of the New Orleans Banks,
made on the Gth inst., it appears that their whole
circulation is §7.500,713, and the amount of
specie on hand is 553,418,337. Their circulation
since the 2d of July, has been diminished
§386,140, and their specie lias increased within
the same period §124,013.
Rhode Island Hanks.
J’hc statements of the situation of the Hanks
of the Slate of Rhode Island, according to the re
turns made by them to the Commissioners on the
3d of August, shows the circulation of the hanks
lobe §2,180,425; deposiles on interest §640.6791
do. not on interest §807,349; loans and discounts,
§12,213,259; and specie §504,725. This ab.
slract, ns compared with that made on the 6th
of July, 1838, shows that the circulation of the 1
Banks has been increased §1,224; the specie has 1
been increased §26,523; the depositee, including !
the dividends unpaid have been reduced §08,032 ,
and (he loans and discounts have been reduced- 1
§179,458.

The Baltimore American, of Tuesday last, ]
says t “Corn was sold in this market yesterday ’
at one dollar per bushel, by the cargo. This is -
an advance of twelve cents a bushel since Friday 1
last. Prime whi c Virginia Wheat was sold yes- 1
terday nt§ I 00. and prime red at §1 50 per bush- J
cl—being an advance of five cents. c
The New York Express, second edition oflhe t
13lh, has the following paragraph touching the c
last new Bank: J
We stated in yesterday’s paper, that Messrs.
Aslop and Griswold had made a deposilc of Stock,
in compliance with the new law relative to ban’ I'
king. The facts, to bo more explicit, are that r
Richard Aslop, of Philadelphia, and George Gris- f
wold of this city, have deposited §200,000 in f]
stock,and taken a certificate from the County s
Clerk, authorizing them t > hank under the Gene- e
ral Banking Law, taking the name of the United I
Stales Bank at New York,—but though the name v
of the United States Bank is taken, uis staled to t
us by ono of the gentlemen, that it is an hidivU r
dual concern of their own, and that no other per
sons are interested: The name was considered
preferable to any other and therefore was taken. <
These gentlemen arc well known for their wealth, 1
industry and experience in business—we have no
doubt will conduct their new concern, with skill 1
and advantage to the public, as well as them- 1
selves. Thus it appears while companies are -
forming, two gentlemen have stepped forward and 1
at once commenced operations. 1
The resumption in Philadelphia is thus noti
ced in the U. S. Gazette ot the 15th lust.
Specie Payments.
Yesterday was a memorable day to this city,
and, perhaps we may say, throughout the Union. '
The resumption of specie payments by the banks
was without commotion, without injury to them
selves, and without inconvenience to the mercan
tile part of the community. Much anxiety has
been Iclt as to the effect which the resumption
was to have upon the specie funds of the hanks,
and we accordingly took some pains to ascertain
the state ofbusiness shortly before the time of
closing the hanks for the day; and we arc happy i
to stale that there was not'in any oflhe banks I
where wc inquired, the least reason for believing j
that any unkindness ot feeling was indulged by j
the community. The demands for specie were i
few and light, confined, as it was evident, to the!
wants which the community felt for change Tim I
Bank ot the United Stales.it was thought, would I
feel the pressure upon the specie the most sc- 1
verely, but even lucre, nothing was seen to lead !

All eyes seem dircclod to ihe result of the grea

The operation of the now hank, from which so
much was expected, arc perfected so tardily that
business men have ceased to depend upon them
as a means of faciliialing the commerce of the

Money now commands about nine per rent.

Indeed, it the condition of business should be

reason why money should fail for some months;
for business and enterprise, we all know, increase
the demand, and hold out stronger temptations
than in times of doubt, uncertainty and deprese
ston. Ihe hanks thus far have conducted them
selves with great propriety. Their discount line
lias been reduced as little as possible. The pios

Public Dinner.
On the. return of the Elbert Volunteers from I
the Cherokee service, a Public Dinner was given I
at Kuckorsville, on the 28th instant.
At ll o’clock the company convened in the
Baptist Church, where the Declaration of Indc- '
pendenee was read, in a clear, distinct and audible I
voice, by Caps. Robert McMillan, oflhe Ruckers
ville Volunteers, at the conclusion of which a I

On presenting the Flag.
Sir fn presenting to you, and'through you,
your J roop this Flag, I can not refrain from an
expression of my convictions, that your valor, and
ardent patriotism entitle you to our proffered he.
stowment. This Banner contains your country’s
colors, your country’s condition, and your coun
try s Union—wit iit is associated the reflection
ot that glorious struggle, in which our Forefathers
were engaged, in those .lays, which tried men’s
souls—with ais associated the recollection of that
Union which was the offspring of oppression, and
which has made its the proudest Nation on earth
In the name, and in behalf of the young Ladies
! ~a 1 ar, . ncr ,s P rCB ented, evincing that they too
have an interest in their country’s glory, and their
country a pride ; that they too ran he grateful tor
that protection, which your patriotism has shown
itself willing to throw around them.
Wc fool proud, that w 0 aro presenting it to
those who are worthy of it— who will defend it
ami die rather lhari yield it, to the enemies of our
couibry, and our Liberty.
“Taken ihen thy banner. May it wave
Broadly o’er Ihe good and brave,
When the bailie’s distant wail
Breaks ihe Kahbnth of our vale;
When the clarion’s music thrills
To the, hearts of those lone hills;
When the spear in conflict shakes,
And the strong lance shivering breaks.
Take tLy banner; and, beneath
J he war clouds encircling wreath
Guard it—l ill our homes are free,
Guard it. God will prosper thee!
fn the dark and trying hour,
In the breaking forth of power,
In the rush ol steeds and men, ’
His right hand will shield thee then.
Take thy banner. But when night
Uluses round the ghastly fight,
If the vanquished warrior how,’
Impure him—by our holy vow,
By our prayers and many tears,
By the rnerey that endears,
-Spare him—he our love hath shared
Spare him as thou wouldst he spared.
Take thy Banner;—and if e’er
i lion shouldst pre.ss the soldier’s bier,
And the muffled drum should heal.
To the tread of mournlul feet.
Then this crimson flag shall he
Martial cloak and shroud for thee. '
