Obituary.
	Died in Raleigh on the 6th November, Mrs. Rebecca Cameron, 
wife of the Hon. Duncan Cameron.  Her's were all the gentler virtues which
beautify and adorn the female character; virtues which steal gently on us, 
like summer showers upon the earth, causing our hearts to grow softer 
and better in contemplating them.  Well was she loved and long will her 
memory last.

her age, Mrs. Martha A. Perry, wife of Joshua Perry, and daughter of the
Rev. Josiah Crudup.
	It becomes our melancholy duty, to announce the departure
of our inestimable friend, Col. Charles P. Green, who died of Consumption
on the 17th inst. at the residence ofhis venerable mother, in the county of
Warren, in the 31th year of his age.....
