A writer who signs himself Philo Reflector." in the Centinel of last evening, regrets very much, (and we doubt not he may have some cause) that anv facts were published in the Sun, tending to apprise the people of the source from which this Centinel sprang, or the course it might be expected to pursue so far as regards the faction who now rule, or rather mis-rule this state. For ourselves we have nothing to regret on that score, and we are too well acquainted with the sentiments and feelings of a large proportion of the people, to be easily mistaken If the peopie will support a press to uphold Mr. Jennings, and those who uphold him no doubt it would to their purse, and their feelings, be very pleasing. Our views M ere formed of the effect intended to be produced by this Centinel. uninfluenced and unaffected by any sinister motive we had none, we could have none and that writer will hereafter learn that the people at large are not to be affected by the selfish views of a few But as the writer we notice, says in his covered zeal that 1 the Sun' by publishing who I some truths has been permanently injured,' our readers can be at no loss to discover the kind of matter he will Have the Centinel to publish, in order to be benefitted. We shall only remark in addition, that our press has been too long devoted to t!:e best interests of the country.' to fear any rivalship from such a source.

State Bank. The Directors of this Institution have determined upon the organization of a Branch Bank, at Brookviiie, in the county of Franklin, as soon as the citizens of that, and the two adjacent counties shall have subscribed and paid, in gold or silver coin, the smn of Tnirty Thousand Dollars, in conformity to the Constitution of the state, and tiie act of Assembly in such case made and provided We very much lament to hear that the Indian:; are frequently indulged in the free use of spiritous liquorsso many injuries result from this illicit indulgence that every man of common sense, and common observation, should be aware of the consequence. It counteracts 'he best efforts of the government it ruins tiie Indians, endangers the peace of the country, and is disgraceful to civiiization o us it is really surprising that any well disposed citizen shoi&Vbt gui'ty of an offence so altroc ious penalty incurred under a law of the U. States, by those who give or rail ii-uior to Indians, must hereafti r be made to punish such offenders as moral principle cannot restrain We should he sorry if this penalty materially affect some men who reside here and some who reside at or near fort Harrison ; but as members of the community thev must not forget the inevitable effect of what thev do looking only to the paltry sum they may occasionally realise as profit. When the virtuous and amiable genl. Posey was appointed Superintendant of Indian affairs, and came to reside amongst us we had hoped that all such practises would ceae and as they have not we rejoice to feel confident that in future they will be noticed in a manner that must at once do away all cause for complaint The traders who receive a license to go amongst the Indians, are, be the tenor of their bond, strictly prohibited and distributing or selling liquor will be to them fatal. Our citizens' cannot be ignorant of the law it has been frequently published in this paper -arM if there he anv who continue to transgress, it is the imperious duty of every good citizen to inform on the offender. -We could hope there are none such and we hope there never will be vet r

... ...0uhcuiuii, or associations of falsehood eoiners are in constant employment to spread deception in all quarters ; partiStates, fmm whence the revolutionists draw nine tenths of their resources A few days since we had a demiofficial account that the troops under Bolivar, who commands the revolutionists in Venezuela, had been defeated, cut up. and so' scattered, that not the smallest fear was entertained of their being able to ma'xe any further resistance ; and. almost before the ink of the narrative is dry, we have another demi-official account that Bolivar had been completely successful, and had cut up the royalists, bones and all. We are not ignorant that events, of different aspects, may rapidly succeed each other ; but we confess our inability to extract the truth from the mass of contradictory accounts which is constantly accumulating from Spanish
America. Bos. Cent. Slave Trade.- With regard to this most infamous traffic, it is stated, that in the spring Gf last year there were nearly one hundred American vessels fitting out from Havanna, for the coast of Africa, with the intention of procuring slaves. T must believe that this statement is far beyond the truth ; but it certainly cannot he denied that many of our depraved countrymen are constantly employed in this detestable barterThe frequent captures made by the English cruizers. prove this incontestibly ; and nothing could rescue the reputation of the whole country from this infamy, were it not the general satisfaction which is every where expressed when those out-casts of our soil are disappointed and defeated of their diabolical aim and profits. Raleigh Min. Chronic Rheumatism. Fi 'om the Raleigh Register. By giv ing the following receipt a place in your valuable paper, you will probably do a public good, and oblige ' A Subscriber. I have labored under a disease called the chronic rheumatism ; for 9 months I could get no relief from the faculty of physic the pain increased to such a degree that I could scarcely walk"; I stated my case to a friend who advised to drink red pepper tea, vv hi -h I accordingly did in the evening just before going to bed, and the next morning to my utter astonishment, I found myself entirely relieved from this disease and have not even the slightest symtom of it since.
HBNRR IV King of France considered this maxim superior to any other ; the satisfaction received from revenge is only mo. mentary, brutal, pleasure, that leaves an envenomed sting behind ; but that gained from clemency, is godlike, serene, & lasts forever."
