The storm took place between 9 and 10 o'clock P.M. and lasted half an hour.<BR> Saturday, July 5, 1851 Indenpendence Day__. The booming cannon and the tolling bells ushered in the auspicious day, after which the "Salem Brass Band," in their special "coach and four," moving through our streets, hailed the day of Jubilee with their "soul-stirring strains." Extensive arrangements were made in the gove of our public square, to accomodate al who desired to participate in the festivities, and there was a general turn out of all "ages, sexes and conditions."

RIGHTS read the Declaration of Independence, and F. E. SHOBER delivered a chaste and patriotic address, which done honor alike to the head and hearf of the speaker. Mrs. SHEPPERD being called upon, also made some appropriate remarks in this happy manner. Refreshments were served up in the customary style. The Band was there. Fire Works at night concluded the celebration. Much credit is due to the Committee of Arrangements for the manner in which the celebration was gotten up throughout. Winston honored the day with the "substantial" in the shape of a Public Barbecue, which, we learn, was well attended. We head the address od Dr. Henry WILSON, the orator of the day, highly spoken of. The Declaration of Independence was ready by Mr. John B. PANKEY. Further particulars we have not. The proceedings of the day will be noticed more fully next week. We learn from the Milton Chronicle that the house of Mrs. Ann YANCEY, a few miles from Yanceyville, NC, was entered a few nights since and robbed of $3,000. The thieves have not been determined.

The proper attention was immediately bestowed and he is now doing well. We learn from the Salisbury Watchman that Mr. John RIDENHOUR, Jr., was drowned in the Yadkin River, near BURAGE'S Factory, in Montogomery County, on the 13th ult. He fell out of a batteau, in which he was crossing the river.

Saturday, August 16, 1851 Southerners Insulted.__It appears from a letter published in the New York Tribune, that some white negroes in attendance on the World's Fair in London, took occasion to offer insult to Southern men who were present, by promenading through the Chrystal Palace with the CRAFTS and W. W. BROWN, fugitive slaves. Mr. MCDONNELL, a white negro, escorted Miss CRAFT, the fugitive; Miss THOMPSON "a beautiful English young lady" at her own request, took the arm of W. W. BROWN, another fugitive; and William CRAFT, another fugitive, walked with Miss Amelia THOMPSON and somebody else. They were treated, as a matter of course, with silent contempt.

Ninety Slaves Emancipated.__ The willof William RAYLAND, of Caroline County, (Va.) providing for the freedom of all his slaves, ninety in number, and if contrary to the law of Virginia for them to remain therein, then for their removal to and establishment at his expense, in some free State, has been sustained against the suit of the heirs by the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Columbus, GA, August 12, 3:30 P.M.__ Messrs Editors: There is a great mob raging here at present. The negro man Jarret, convicted by two successive Juries of the infamous crime of committing a rape upon a little girl of ten years old, was to have been hung today. To the surprise of everyone, he was pardoned by Gov. Towns. This has created great indignation among the populace, and a mob of five hundred persons are not before the Jail, awaiting the hour of 4 o'clock, at which time they expect to hang him. Columbus, GA, August 12, 6:10, P.M.__ The mob assembled at 4 o'clock, proceeded to the Jail and demanded the keys. The Sheriff refused to give them up -- the doors were broken open, and the negro brought out and hung to a pine tree back of the jail. Murder.__ A rumor is quite current here, that a party of four runaway negroes, in Grayson County, VA, last week killed a white man and severely wounded several others, under the following circumstances. The negroes were sailing down New River in a boat, which accidently springing a leak, they were compelled, in order to save themselves, to swim ashore, where they kindled a fire, which led to their discovery by some persons in the neighborhood, who approaced and interrogated them. The negroes replied they were runaways, and on their way to a free State. Whereupon the white person, feigning friendhsip and promising to assit them in their flight, sent a lad, who wa sin company with him, for a necessary book and paper, to furnish them with "free papers," at the same time giving secret instructions to summon aid to arrest them. When the aids arrived, armed with guns, and attempted to arrest the negroes, they offered resistance, when one of the men fired, wounding one negro in the foot, after which, the other guns having been discharged without effect, the negroes commenced their bloody work, illing one person by splitting open his head with a scythe blade, and dangerously wounding the others. The negroes then fled, but we understand some of them, if not all, have since been arrested. To The Public.__ The Yadkin Bridge, commonly called "Lock's Bridge," is in good order and condition, and perfectly safe, having not been in the least damaged by the freshet of last Summer, any reports which have been circulated to the prejudice of the Bridge to Salisbury, &c., is nearer, by actual measurement than any other, by nearly one mile. W. M. LOCKE, Aug. 20, 1851. Indiana.__ The new constitution for this State has been adopted by 23,000 majority and the clause which provides for excluding negroes from the State is adopted by even a larger majority. __ Stick a pen there! Famine Apprehended.__ The West Alabamian, published at Carrollton, Pickens, Ala., says that the drought in that section of the State is unparalleled, and that apprehensions are entertained of a famine in consequence of it. A public meeting has been called to take the subject into consideration. Seven Negroes Killed by Lightning.__ On Wednesday evening, 23d ultimo, Mr. John REEVES, residing about sixteen miles south of this place, in company with seven of his negroes, were induced by the appearance of a cloud rising to repair to a large tree, but a short distance from where they were at work, for shelter. Mr. R. being on horseback, reached the tree first, and by accident let his horse loose, and in endeavoring to recover him, receded some distance from the tree, when he heard a clap of thunder. On recovering his horse, he proceeded to the house. At the usual time for returning home, none of the hands made their appearance. Mr. R. became alarmed and in company with another person, went in search of them. They went immediately to the tree where they had comtemplated shelter, and found them all dead; two of them were lying near the tree, and the other four were in the hollow of it. -- Bolivar (Tenn.) Herald. August 30, 1851 The Grayson Affair.__ Since our last, we have received a letter from Jefferson, Ashe County, containing a statement of the horrid murder committed by the runaway negroes in Grayson County, VA., which does not materially vary from the account published last week, but gies particulars, as follows: "When the engroes were closely pressed and refused to surrender themselves, they were fired upon, but without any other effect than to enrage them. One fellow, armed with a long, heavy scythe blade, rushed on Mr. Samuel BARTLETT, (brother to the Sheriff of Ashe) and at one blow split his head open, scattering the brain in every direction; -- he died almost instantly. Afred BARTLETT, a brother of the deceased, had one hand nearly cut off. Cyrus WILCOX, late of Jefferson, received a stab in the back of the nec,-- but little hope of his recovery. John CLEMMONS received a wound onthe top of his head, laying the scull bare for four inches. -- Report says he is dead. The negroes all effected their escape, after two or three of them had been knocked down. Two of them, it is said, have been captured and lodged in jail. Thus may be seen the beauties of abolitionism! -- BAKEN or BACON, whose name I have noticed in the Press, has labored for years in Grayson. The negroes belong to Mr. REEVES and Mr. COX, and were just starting for Ohio. We have just received the Wytheville Republican, which states that some of the negroes have been taken, and that they expressley charge Bacon as their advisor and instructor. The Republican Says: "We appreciate the line of route that these villains have in comtemplation, along which to run their stolen negroes, lies through Grayson, through Smyth, into Tazewell and down Sandy." Is not this a pretty business for Ministers of the Gospel to be engaged in! -- Reader, pause and reflect!-- All you have given your adhesion to those Ohio villains, (if any!) relfect for one moment, calmly and dispassionately, and you will certainly pronounce judgement against these men. We have held up these villians, time after time, to public execration, because we considered it our duty so to do; and their guilt of the crimes with which we have charged them, is becoming every day more and more apparent. Attention! Forsyth County, N.C., August 25, 1851.__.

Saturday September 20, 1851 Court Week.__Our County Court was in session this week and adjourned, as usual, on Wednesday, having no more business at hand. We believe nothing of general interest transpired, excepting the election of Register, in the place of the late F. C. MEINUNG. C. L. RIGHTS, Esq, was the successful candidate amont some four or five aspirants. New Cotton.__ W. R. WALKER, Esq., during his presence attending Court, presented us with a boll of a new species of cotton, rasied on his plantation in Davidson County, which, judging from appearance, is superior to the common kind. Te boll is larger, and staple longer. We learn Gov. MOREHEAD introduced the cotton into this section of country, and that Mr. WALKER procured the seed from the last Jesse HARPER, of Randolph County. Last week the weather was very warm, unusually so for the season. On Sunday we experienced a sudden change, and this week it has been remarkabley cool. -- Looking for frost. H. W.

Married.__In Yadkin County, on the 11th inst., by Samuel MAY, Esq., Mr. Joel PARK, son of Spencer M. Park, to Miss Mary MCBRIDE, eldest daughter of Anderson McBRIDE, Esq., all of Yadkin County. Son Killed by Father.__ A man named HOPKINS was killed some days since, in the north part of Stokes County, by his own father. The old man, we understand, alleges he found some one steeling his honey, after night; that on approaching, the thief retired; he hallooed to him to stop, to which no attention was paid; whereupon he shot, and the thief turned out to be his own son, who died immediately. There are, however, strong circumstances to show that the old man knew it to be his son, and that he shot him with malice aforethought. He is in Stokes jail, awaiting trial at the approaching Superior Court. -- Greensborough Patriot. Arrivals at Zeveley's Hotel, For the Week ending Sept. 18th.__ Wm. A. DUNN, Raleigh; Wm. J.
