From the National Intelligencer. MECKLENBURG DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Several months ago we had occasion to allude in oar columns to the question which has been raised with respect to the genuineness and authenticity of the paper commonly known as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Our readers may possibly remember that, as the re-salts of oar historical inquiries, we were led to express the conviction that the case in favor of the ''Resolves" which purport to have been passed by the inhabitants of Mecklenburg county, at the town of Charlotte, on the 19th and 20th of May, in the year 1775, would not seem, in view of all the facts, to be conclusively made out, and, without undertaking to prejudge the question in the absence, of certain documents bearing upon it, we ventured to add that the "Resolves" which are admitted by all to have been adopted at Charlotte on the thirty-first of Miy in the same year were, in theft tone and sentiment, sufficiently strong to compensate for the loss of any honor or pridrf which ardent North Carolinians may have heretofore founded upon the so-called "Declaration" of the 20th of May. We were therefore disposed to question whether it would not be wier for the sons of that gallant Revolutionary State to ret her claim to priority in the m-ittcr fect monotonous and cheerless, but truly grand But there is a neic clement which makes this mid herence to principle He wn gentle, yet firm; intelligent, without ostentatiou, pure, without assumption, lie was considerate and kind-hearted, and was actuated by a love of State and country mittee ot hve was appointed to draw- up it: winter moonlight seem almost terrible in its im- port resolutions expressive of the meeting.

At my age, a lost fortune is not to be re-made Tho loss of this suit, therefore, would condemn me to the most frightful misery: come to implore your aid Iferp are the papers which explain my claims." The advocate listened attentively, while his unknown visiter thus hriofly explained his business. Then opening the bundle of documents, he went through them with the searching rapidity of his professional eye. They were nt last laid upon the table. "The action which is commenced against you for this property," said he, "is based upon justice and right, legal and moral.

The property belongs to your opponent. But unfortunately, in spite of the admirable elaboration of our code, law and justice do not always go together, and here the law is on your side. If, therefore, you ubove all petty ambitions. It was his fortune to dismounted, when his horse plunged most furiously, became wild from pain, and ran into the ranks of the enemy. Soon after this, Col.

Butler received a severe wound in the knee, the ball passing under the joint, and through the flesh, causing him intense pain, and almost rendering it impossible for him to walk, and in a short time disabled him from keeping the command. He retired, turning the command over to Lieut. Col. Dickinson. The fire of tho enemy was now terrific the very air was thick with the leaden messengers of death, and the continual order of "close ranks" told how truly they did their duty.

Gen Shields then ordered the regiment to retire behind a large hacienda, (where Col. Butler and the other wounded of the regiment were lying) for the purpose of forming a new line. A new line was formed, and the regiment marched on under a most murderous fire towards the enemy. pressiveness it is tiencr.

We learn from the Salisbury Herald that the Hon. Thomas Settle died a few days ago at his residence in Rockingham county. He was a distinguished citizen ot tho State. He represented Rockingham county in the House of Commons so long ago as 1816, and in 1817 and '19 he was elected to Congress. Subsequently, he was sent to tho House of Commons aud in 1828 was Speaker of thabody: In 1832 he was chosen a Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity, which elevated position he held with acceptability for over twenty years, resigning it some three years since, when Judge Person of this town wa3 chosen to fill the vaoancy.

The 49th commenced, enoogh to satisfy the ambition of a State whose clearly and ably to the court, you will inevitably gain your case." "No man living," said the stranger, "can do what you thus describe so ably as yourself.

Might I venture to hope that you would reduce your legal opinion to writing, and thus render me invulnerable?" The advocate reflected for a minute or two, and then uking up again the documents, which at the first word of the request he had roughly pushed away, he said he would do as the stranger wished. On the morrow, at the same hour, the legal opinion would be ready. The client was punctual. The paper was presented to him accompanied with a demand, very abruptly made, for a fee of three thousand francs! He stood with mute astonishment. "You are at liberty to keep your money," said the lawyer, "and I am at liberty to throw my written opinion into the tire;" and, advancing towards the chimney, apparently for that purpose, he was stopped by the visitec hjcii tuiiuuiau, iowan, reported a- lowing preamble and resolutions, prefacing with a few feeling and appropriate rema-b upon motion of Robert Strange.

There is no animal to cross my path, no tree among whose stiff branches the wind can sigh and moan. There is no song of bird to enliven the scene, no wild beast to howl. I stand there alone, the only representative of God'a living world the only being that has life or can move. Every sound that I hear, every motion that I see, is made by myself.

I hear nothing but the pulsations of my own heart, my own footsteps, or now and then, possibly, in the distance, the deep rambling of a falling snow-bank. The sensation of utter loneliness and isolation creeps over me. My heart beats as it rashes the blood through the sensitive organization of the ear; I am oppressed as with discordant sounds. Silence has ceased to be negative; it has become sternly positive. I hear, see, and feel it.

He turned on his left heel and fell straight backwards in the irm3 of Maj Gladden, who gently laid him on the vld, and ordered a detail of men trom the ranks to carry his body to the rear. During this time, the regiment had advanaed several paces, and, as Major Gladden approached if, Col. Dickinson was seen to fall.

Major Gladden went immediately to him, when Col. Dickinson said to him, "Here, Major, take. these colors and this sword and defend and maintain the honor of South Carolina." The gallaot Major took the Palmetto flag, handed it to Patrick Leonard, (a private in Company who bore it safely through the charge,) and, after ordering a file of men to take Col. Dickinson to the rear, assumed command of the Regiment. General Shields then rode up, when Major Gladden asked his permission to charge.

"That is what I wish you to do," was the reply. The charge was then ordered, and soon the bayonets of the Palmettoes forced back the serried ranks of the foe, scattering them in all directions. Thus ended the battle of Churubusco.

That the writer of the subjoined letter should cherish a legitimate pride in his honorable ancestry we find in the highest degree commendable; and the chivalry with which he espouses what he honestly deems the cause of truth and justice, if somewhat outre in its expression, has at least an air of frankness and sincerity which challenges our admiration From the Western Democrat.

Walter Savage Landor has been. calling the attention of the British public to the fact made known by William Ilowitt that some of Shakespeare's descendants are in needy circumstances, with a view of procuring relief for them. But it is quite impossible that any descendant of Shakespeare should be in want, because there has been no such person in existence for nearly two hundred years. Shakespeare died in 1616, leaving two daughters only, Susanna and Judith. Judith married Mr.

Thomas Quincy a short time before her father's death. Three sons were born to her; but they all died before her, and she herself died in 1662. Susanna, the elder daughter, married Dr. John Hall, and died in 1649. The sole issue of this marriage was a daughter, Elizabeth Hall, who was born before her grandfather's death, and is I i -i.
