SHOCCO SPRINGS. The season is now come when Ihe gay and fashionable, as well as the infirm and convalescent, resort to (heir accustomed places of amusement and relief. Such has been the practice of ancient and modern times. The delightful mountain palaces of (he Sultans of Persia, the villas of the Romans, seated on Ihe sea at Naples and Baice and the celebrated waters of Aix-la-Chapelle and Carlsbad, have been the theme of poets anil historians. North Carolina too, can boast ol its beautiful summer retreats.

It has many springs of various qualities and situations. Those ol Shocco seem peculiarly designed to remedy Ihe evil effects of intermittent levers and billious complaints.

Increased 3670, including one additional regiment, with an increase of the complement of commissioned officers (33.) Total increase of rank and file 4,500. It will be seen that the increase of the rank-and file is 4,500, while the incieased number of infantry and artillery is only 13; ef the latter, there is a reduction of 20 lieutenants, and of the former, an increase of 33 officers.

delivered before the Literary Societies by tlon. William B. Stiepard, of Elizabeth City. The sub ject of the Address was the importance of the Dead Languages as a branch of liberal education, and it is but just to remark, that the subject was ably discussed. The atyle of the Address was elegant, the expressions forcible, and it was evident that the writei was familiar with the authors which he recommended, and had drunk abundantly at the fountains of Arethusa.

On Wednesday evening, an address was delivered before the Alumni of the Institution, by Charles Manly, Esq. This Address, beside containing an allusion to historical facts in relation to the Institution and the two Societies, was replete with good sentiments, connected with some of the peculiar prevailing traits of our country, and with excellent advice to the membeis, and to thoso who were about to leave the Seminary. On Wednesday evening, at candle lighting, declamations were heard from the Representatives of the two Literary Societies. In theae were evinced talents for rpeaking and writing, honorable to the Societies and their Representatives.

From the Raleih Register. OUR UNIVERSITY.

Eince the paragraph in another column, on the subject of the late Commencement, was written, have received the following interesting account of the Exercises on the occasion, which, coming from the source it does, is entitled to particular consideration The Public Anniversary i.f the University of North Carolina was held Ui at Chapel Hill. Tbe Exercises were attend, an unusually large and brilliant assembly, comprising a greater number ofliterary and .1 men from different Bafts of the State, than hut en common on similar occasions. The assemi.iue of fashion and taaie was abso particularly brilliant, und justice re quires it to be said, that while the assemblage of people was unusually lf je, liberal provision was made for their accommodation. Never do we re collect to have witnessed on the Hill a more gene ral disposition for accommodating visiters nor i time when the accommodations were more liberal, or more generally acceptable. The Public Exercises, which commenced on Monday, were continued on each day, till (he eve ning of Thursday.

On Monday evening, the Ex ercises opened with public declamations by Speak ers selected from the Freshman class. On Tues day evenincr, there were declamations from the So chomore class. On Wednesday an Address was vast difference in the material used by ihe loco to-cos of this season from lhat which they sported before the people in 1834. Then every fellow of them hud gold Jackson gold, which they promised to the people as a currency just so lar currency, as it has all run away now thry produce Van Buren shin-plasters irredeemable paper and this it is whicl; they offer to bet apainst the old farmer. Now this continental money comes it can come, from no other place than Washington it is put into the hands of the loco focoe here, in order that so far as the influence of a bet can go, the cause of Porter and Van Buren may both be strengthened.

We call upon every opponent of Van Buren to look upon this state of things ti observe how closely the interests of Porter and Van Buren are connected; and we tell them that every Whig who casts his vote for Porter, by so much strengthens the national administration which he abhors. Nay more every Whig who does not vote for Ritner, by that much weakens the cause which he loves. Penn. Repub. FROM THE FRONTIER.

The Cleveland Herald of (he 30lh June has the following information IMPORTANT FROM THE WEST FRESH BORDER DIFFICULTIES. The following intelligence brought by Ihe Daniel VV ebsler. direct from Detroit, is from surh a source that we believe it may be relied on. Rumors of Refugee movements in (be vicinity of St. Clair, hnve been current for some days, and strengthen the probability of this fresh outbreak.

Etlract of a Letter, dated Detroit, June 29. Yeslerday about 50J refugee Patriots crossed over about 40 miles above this, near New Port on the St. Clair river. A party of Canadians and a few Grand River Indians soon after nttacked (hem and were defeated, the refugees maintaining their ground. Last night the British sent on a reinforcement, as will.

the Refugees to-day. The Refugees crossed in a small sloop which was afterwards taken and towed lo Detroit, by Ci.iled Stales authoiities. The United Siates troops are on lh move. The quarters flag of Gen. Atkinson has been flying for some days on the Detroit Exchange, but I see it has been been removed during the night where lo I have not Flying reports from Detroit say that Ihe Briiish Steam Boat Thames on hich Ihe reinforcement went up has been taken by the Patriots, and that Maiden was to be attacked last night.

Qj We see that the Buffalo papers do nol credit the above reports. The Buffalo Advertiser says We have Detroit papers ol Saturday morning which make no mention of any such difficulties. We have also just conversed with a gentleman who left Detroit on Sunday evening, and passed the Thames, apparently with a pleasure party on board, near Maiden. The slory is doubtless made up from whole cloth. There is no question, however, that some attempt ol the kind is in.

contemplation. There lire many refugees in the neighborhood ol Detroit, and rumors Here rife there on Saturday of gatherings near Ibe River Raisin and other places. The U. S. officers are on the alert, and it is to be hoped hey will be able to prevent any hostile demonstrations from our side.

Detroit, June 39. Thk St. Oi.air Buccanekrs routed. We learn from the collector of this port, that a schooner iu tbe service of Ibe buccaneers was captured on Thursday, some few miles below the country seal ol St. Clair.

Having understood, from the movement in that vii inity, that on expedi ion was on loot, Ihe collector immediately started for the scrne ol operations. A small force embarked on the slemn-boat Gratiot, ai'd soon got wind ol the piratical craft, which it seems, bad been across to Ibe Canada shore, and committed depredations upon the inhabitants. As tbi; Gratiot approached ibe vessel with a view to compel her to surrender, a brisk firing upon her commenced from the opposite shore. Finding themselves iu peril, the crew of the Vessel look to the shore, and dispersed themselves through Ibe vv oods. The vessel was then taken possession of by the revenue officers.

Thpy found two or three Cai.a diun prisoueis in the hold, some fifteen barrels of flour which had been plundered, about a di zrn stand of arms, and oilier small matters. The vessel was brought lo this port lo be condemned. One of Ihe prisoners, we understand, was induced to come down, by whom, it is thought, some important testimony may be laid before the Grand Jury now in session. We are advised that most, if not all the crew, were Canadians. This promptness on the part of me iimcers ami citizens oi et.

Baltimure Americtin. ROBERT POTTER. We exchange with the Texas Telegraph," and in tbe last number received, wc find the following paragraph. From the similarity of the name, and the peculiar features of the transaction, we have but little doubt that tho individual ref rred to, is the notorious Robert Potter, formerly of this State. We have had no knowledge of his whcre-a-bouls, for several years We learn from tho Texas Chroniclo that Col.

R. Potter havinglosl his horses about the middlcof April last, suspected they had been stolen by the Caddo Indiana in his neighborhood. He therefore immcdiutly raised a party of armed men, and arrested several Indians. They however mado their escape (rom him soon after their capture; he pursued ihem tj their village, where he found several women and children, these he attempted to carrv off, 'when a small purty of armed Indians arrived, and a skirmish ensued in which three Indians and two while men were killed The horses which he bad lost were afterwards discovered in the range near his settlement, huvinii mily strayed a short distance from (heir ordinary pasture grounds! What must be the reflections of this individual, who ha-i thus rashly imbrued bis hunds with the blood of innocent and unoffending men, and possibly plunged his countrymen into nil the horrors of a murderous Indian war? The Editor of the Chronicle justly observes "this afljir shows Ihe necessity of acting with deliberation, and admitting evidence against the Indians with caution, for we are too apt to attribute to them the honor of having perpetrated many crimes that might upon investigation be traced to Somo of the looso characters among us." are qickly removed by tbese salubrious waters. Their medicinal qualities are in faction well known to need commendation.

But the attractive advantages whicb they present to visiters have never been sufficiently recommended to public notice and patronage. Not only is (ho surrounding country rich and romantic, but the country elevated and healthy, and the inhabitants wealthy and refined. The company usually assembled at these Springs being mostly well bred and well educated, agreeable converse, lion, music, accomplished female society and all the amiable refinements ol lite, constitute their amusements. The votaries of rational enjoyment may here gratify their desires, of literature relax their minds with lighter pursuits, the planters repose from (heir multifarious business, invalids reinstate (heir enfeebled health, age recover Ihe gaiety ol youth, and all my mingle with zest in the mutual pursuit of file's sweet joys. Tbe domestic advnm.

(ages of the domicile are somewhat uncommon. Comfortable, commodious and agreeable, they have been arranged by the judicious proprietor to minister to the wants of the sick, the comlort of the feeble, and the happiness ol the stranger. Visiters find their convenience consulted with the most attentive care, and the necessities ot the infirm prevented ith tenderness and kindness. Those who have recovered from illness know what effect the interest of those around has on the anxious mind in recalling the calm of health. Perhaps one of the most natural sources ot human satisfaction is the benevolent pleasures which we feel on witnessing the recovery of our friends, and the joy which they express when renewed delight returns with reviving vigor.

Affliction's sons are brothers in distress, A brother to relieve how exquisite the bliss?" At watering places strangers to each other are frequently brought into friendly contact, and made to harmonize in receiprocal feelings for mutual welfare their esteem, respect and regard draw closer the bond of union and deepen the interest of society. Every new coiner in his enfeebled stale is viewed with compassion, his sufferings regarded, ith pity, all hasten to prevent his wants, and the first rayol hope that beams on his countenance is reflected on a thousand faces where it has already shone. Virgil's beautiful line, expressive of Dido's lender kindness and sympathy, might be here applied with peculiar truth and fitness iVon ignara mail, mistris mccurrere disco." Hovvdependent is man on his fellow men when health is feeble, when the spirits are depressed, how the smallest service of endearing care rises in value end esteem on the heart of the leceiver There are the times which call out the belter sentiments of 'our nature and dignified humanity" Not all the stores of medicine can work so great a charm on i lie recovering frame as the delicate attentions hich are paid by a kind hostess In an afflicted guesl, or casually conferred by the polite and refined visiters who generally atiend these capitals of pleasure, fashion mi ease. The freedom of independence here unites with Ihe condescension of polished manners, and blends with the best feelings of human naiiire, where each strives to banish from his delects whatever is harsh, unpleasant or odious; endeavoring to display his own superior talents to relieve, to console, to ainuset to lighten sorrow or enhance delight, And each in other seeks his mutual bliss." Borrowing Newspapers. There are persons, (says the Wheeling Times,) and aUays have been since newspapers were first published, who never took papers, though they were abundantly able.

By so doinj they defraud the printer, render his life hard-cr than it would be if they gave him a proper support, and by so doing prevent him In.m (living his paper that attention, and imparting to it that interest that it might possess. They also are complete gadflies, nuisances, ond all sorts of bad things to those that do subscribe for them. It is rather an ungenteel thing to burrow your neighbor's eliirt it is equally so to borrow his newspaper. hdia Rubber Newspapers, Curtains, Dresses, fyc. 4-c We happened to call in yeslerday, at 211 Pearl street, and were highly gratified aa well as astonished in observing the wonderful progress the art of India Rubber manufactory has been making by Uooilvear, in Hoxbury.

Mr. Arniflronff, at hi store in lJearl street, showed ua the Boston Cou rier printed on India Rubber paper (a sheet for immortality by tho way, as it cannot be used up after the manner of all our newspapers made of rags,) and a complete good readible Courier, that might pass from hand to hand for a month, without detriment to the fabric. In addition to this we saw pieces of muslin dresses, tissue curtains, portraits of presidents of the United Stales, maps, made of India Rubber and judging from the specimens we saw, we can imagine no difficu'ty in working up this ma'erial for almost any of our household purposes. Beautiful piano covers, it is said to make. Excellent beda, we all know, it makes and as for the life Dreservers.

tli uhnlp world is now struck by their amazing utility. We also learnt that the manufacturers will send out lo Europe some of their curious work by tho steam ships, as specimens of Yankee aptitude. By the way, that will be a novel day if it comes about when we shall see our young ladies promenading Broadway in India Rubber muslins, defying the storms, encased as they are in a dress of liie impenetrable Catachouc Express.

They failed during the embargo, and shortly after, Sharpncll, whose health hud been seriously affected by his ungratified avaricious disposition, was brought lo his death bed. Throughout his life, he hod acted as if he religiously believed that it was his solemn duty to over reach every body in bargaining. This "ruling passion was strong in death," ond burnt brightly in his bosom, even on the cold borders of the grave. Two days before his death, his former partner, Closely, called upon him, to take a final leave, and the following dialogue took place Closely How is it with you, Sharpncll, today Sharpnell dear, I don't know. CI Do you feel as though you were losing or gaining ground I Sh I am sinking sinking very fast I shall make a die of it.

CI Do you feel prepared for your final end Sh Why, yes but I should like to live out the week, as I have paid up the rent lo that time. CI Is your mind composed Sh All except one little thing; and if I could settle that, I should die easy. CI Is it any thing that 1 can do for you Sh I don't know but you ran, partner. Do you know any good carpenter that owes about half the price of a good cofliu 01 Yes. Sh Well, I wish you would get him to make me one, and I'll muko him trust me for the other half.

CI. Had he not better be paid in cash Sh no, I'd rather owe him, for it's a Ion" time that he has owed us. CI Just as you say, then. Sh Thank you, thunk you, partner; you ore the only real friend I have seen yet. Farewell-God bless and reward you for making the mind of a dying man easy.

The speaking of this day was such as to do honor to the young gentlemen and the Institution. There was a manliness of thought, and a propriety of diction in the composition indicating much strength of mind and high intellectual culture. On the whole, we must say we have never been so muoh gratifud with any Anniversary that we have attended at the University as with this. And we have been not a little gratified with the very evident improvement which has been made in Ihe order of things on this occasion. Never have we before seen so much good (asle displayed in the arrangements for the day so much order, and gentlemanly deportment among the students, and so much quietness among all that were assembled.

The state of the University was perhaps never more prosperous than at the present time. The whole number of students during the past year has been 16 of whom 13 have now taken their degree and we understand twenty have already joined the different classes to fill tbe vacancy. With an able and devoted Faculty, the University is already in a good condition, but with a little addition to its means, it might become eminently tbe pride and honor of the Slate. To find fault where so much is found worthy of praise, seems almost censurable, yet we cannot omit to mention as a hint tor future Anniversaries that the unreasonable length of all (he pieces spoken, whether original or selected, whs an error, which detracted somewhat from Ihe plensure of the per, formance. The introduction of so many political subjects on such an occasion is, to say Ihe least, of doubtful expediency.

But the most offensive of all was Ihe continued practice of lampooning the Fa-cully for the sake of creating a laugh. We were glad, however, to bear the President bear his deci ded testimony against Ihu practice, and we (rust it will never be allowed again to disgrace the stage. Akin tn this we may perhaps mention an opposite error, that of lauding distinguished individuals in their presence. It is sufficient lhat men be eulo gised after their death. But to stand up in a public assembly, in the presence of an individual, and be daub mm with commendation is unpardonable, beside placing him, if a modest man, in a most awk ward predicament.

These allusions, we make in kindness, wishing to see every thing done on this occasion in nccordnnce with good taste, and without giving offence to the most refined sensibility. We rejoice at the prospects ot the aeminnry, and we hope every good citizen will be disposed to extend (o it the aid of his patronage; and that the Le gislature will so enlarge its benefactions us to fur nish all its departments with the most ample means of instruction, and to continue Ihe most able and efficient instructors. Chapel Hill, June 29. From tlie Richmond Whig. TALLEYRAND.

The Great Western, brings intelligence of the death of Prince Talleyrand, on tbe I7lli in the 84lb year ol his ego. He was the most remarkable man of his day, and was a conspicuous and infiuenlial actor in mure nn portent events than perhaps any individual ol mod' ern limes. He enacted a prominent part iu all the great revolutionary movements of his time, and, as bis good luck would have it, be came out at every revolution at Ihe top of Ihe wheel. With a political forecast unsurpassed, he was always prepared lor any contingency and unencumbered with any idolized principle, or scruples of conscience, he was always ready to lend his great and acknowledged talents to any cause which would pay nun best. He was a Leveller iu and contributed as much as any other one man to the overthrow of the mo narcliv'.

He was an imperialist when Bonaparte' star wuj jn the ascendant and I4, he betrayed France and Nanoleon to tuc Allies, let it is sail that throughout his eventful lile and amidst oi! changes, be uniformly maintained that the British Constitution was the best ever devised by the wit of man. Whatever reputation Talleyrand may enjoy with postesily as a statesman and politician and if success be any test, it will be very great bis moral character will ever stand condemned. Without heeding the monstrous tales which a late anonymous biographer has published to the World, enough is known to stamp bis iiame with infamy, and make it a by-word of reproach. A cold-blood selfishness was the predominant (rait of his character and to the eratiacatiou ol uis amuiuoii ne vvouia icrupte at (he sacrifice of no friend, if he ever bad one. or the violation of any virtu.

The tone of the French journals on (he decease of Talleyrand, is varied according to Ihe political sentiments of the editors. The Ministerial organ is silent (he opposition journals confine themselves pretty much to speculations as to the political re sults from his death, regarding it as a very serious loss to the reigning dynasty, and calculated to its overthrow. The following are extracts from the Charivari: Talleyrand is dead," says (he paper" let the devil lake his soul and keep it." We are (old that Talleyrand died of mortification. It is now upwards of fifty years since bis heart as Ihe seat of that disease. 1 he government wishes to inter Talleyrand in the pantheon.

What! do our rulers wish that to be accursed like Ibe potter's field on wbich the remains ol Judas were thrown 1" Alluding then lo the visit the King paid the prince in bis last momenis, the Charivari remarks, that "it was in that same hotel Alexander of Russia took up his residence on Ihe 3d of April, 1814, as a testimony of his esteem and gratitude towards Ihe traitor whose intrigues and perfidy had contributed most to open the gates of Paris to the Cossacks. How nlfecting, how truly French," it says, were Ihe official tears shed at the bedjide of the Judas of the capitulation of 1814, of (he signer, of the chatnelul treaties of 1815. Moreover, the worthy object of this oration did not belie, at the last hour, his honorable character. The man who, at the outset of his career, had denied his God, demanded upon his death bed the assistance of religion that is to say, he wished to end by betraying Ihe devil, in order that it might be said of him that be successively betrayed all bis masters." From this number, ICG,) deduct iho 20 lieutenants transferred from the artillery to tho ordnance, which makes the aetual increase number of officers in the aggregate 146. FAT.

The pay of the non-commissioned officers and privates is somewhat increased artillery and infantry privates to eight dollars. An additional ration, estimated at 20 cents, is allowed each officer for every five years he may have served in the Army. Thus, an officer who may have served twenty years, under rank of a general officer, would hereafter be entitled to an additional allowance of four rations, or eighty cents per day, and no more. The pay and emoluments of the engineers and ordnance are advanced to those of cavalry rates, which constitute them mounted corps, and, as heretofore, officers of foot. The pay ol the artillery aid infantry officers has not been advanced.

There are other minor provisions which we have not time to examine among these, forty dollars and four rations, are to be allowed to such persons as may be employed by the officers of any garrison to officiate as chaplain, who shall perform also the duties of schoolmasters at the post. Omitted in the addition, as these assistants do not increase the number of officers in the Army. Attached to the Quartermaster's Department, with the pay of captain. THE ARMY BILL. The amendments made in the House of Representatives to the Senate's bill (or an increase of (he Army have been concurred in by the Senate without altering a letterof them.

The President of the United States yesterday signed the hill so that the bill, as published in our paper of Monday last, has become the law of the land. The amendments made in the House of Representatives are understood to have been far from acceptable to the Senate but Ihe friends of (he measure in that body prelerred accepting the amendments in cross to sending Ihe bill back (o the House upon a disa greement about amendments which might, possibly, on Ihe present fluctuation of numbers in that body, lead to a loss of tbe bill. Whatever amendments are deemed essential bv (he Senate will probably be sought for by a supplementary bill. Ihe effect of this bill, as we have heretofore stated, will be to add four thousand five hundred rank and file to tbe present Military Establishment. ixutwnal Intelligencer.

From Miss Startincau's Retrospect of Westtra Travel. AMOS KENDALL. I was fortunate enough once to catch a e'imose of the invisible Amos Kendall, at Washington, one oi ine niosi remarkable men in America, lie is supposed to be the moving string of the whole dministulion the thinker, planner and doer: but it is all in the dark. Documents are issued ol an excellence which prevents their being attributed to persons who take the responsibility of them a correspondence is kept up all over the country for which no one seems to be answerable 'vork is done, of goblin extent and with goblin speed. which makes men look about them with a superstitious wonder; and the invisible Amos Kendall has the credit of it all.

President Jacksun's letters to his Cabinet are said to be Kendall's. The letters from Washington to appear in remute country newspapers, whence they are collected and published in the Globe, as demonstrations of public opinion, are pronounced to be written by Kendall. Every mysterious paragraph in opposition newspapers relates to Kendall and it ia some relief to the timid that his having now Ihe office of Postmaster General affords opportunity for open attacks upon this twilight personage who is proved, by Ihu faults in the post office administration, not to be able to do quite every thing well. But he is undoubtedly a great genius. lie unites with his great talent lor science" a splendid audacity.

It is clear that he could not do the work he does (incredible in amount any way,) if ho went into society like other men. lie did, however, one eve ning; I think it was at the Attorney General's. The momi.it I went in, intimations reached me from all quarters, amid nods and wu.k;, "Kendall is here" that is he." I saw atoncethat his plea for exclusion (bad health) is no false one. The extreme sallowncss of his complexion, and hair of such perfect whiteness as is rarely seen in a man of middle age, testified to disease. His countenance does not help the superstitious to throw off their dread of him.

He probably does not desire this superstition to melt away fur there is no calculating how much influence was given (o Jackson's administration by the belief, that there was a concealed eye and hand behind the machinery of government, by wbich every thing could be foreseen, and the hardest deeds done. A member of Congress told me this night that he had watched through four sessions for a sight of Kendall, and had never obtained it till now. Kendull was leaning on a chair, with head bent down, and eye glan cing up at a member of Congress, with whom he was in earnest conversation, and in a few minutes he was gone. Neither Mr. Clay nor any of his family ever spoke a word to me of Kendall except in his pub lic capacity but 1 heard elsewhere, and repeatedly, the well known story of the connection of the two men early in Kendall's life.

Tidings reach ed Mr. and Mrs. Clay one evening, many years ago, at their house in the neighborhood of Lexington, Kentucky, that a young man, solitary and poor, lay ill of a fever in the noisy hotel in the town. Mrs. Clay went down in the carriage with out delay, and brought the sufferer home to her bouse, where she nursed him with her own hands till he recovered.

Mr. Clay was struck with the talents and knowledge of the young man, (Ken- uan; ana rniainea mm as tutor to his sons, heaping benefits upon him with characteristic bounty. Thus far is notorious fact. As to the causes of their separation and enmity I have not heard Kendall's side of the question, and therefore say nothing but go on to the other notorious facts, that Amos Kendall left Mr. Clay's political party soma time after Adams had been, by Mr.

Clay's influence, seated in the presidential chair, and went over to Jackson; since which timo he hag never ceased his persecutions of Mr. Clay through the newspapers..
