t. Raleigh, Oct. 7. Our Supe
rior Court is still in session.
On Tuesday, the whole day was
. occupied with the trial of Rich
ard Powers, indicted for the
murder of Jonathan Waynax, of
'.Guilford, in June, 1829. The
case was committed to the jury
.about 7 o'clock at night, and
they remained out but a short
time, when they returned with
xx verdict of manslaughter.
At the opening of the Court
-on Wednesday morning, Eli
jah W. Kimbrough of Tennes-
ree, convicted of the murder of
John Davis of this county was
brought in to receive sentence
of death. He is to be oxecu
ted on the 5th day of November,
next ensuing, between the
hours of 11 and 4 o'clock. Af
ter sentence was pronounced,
he asked and obtained permis
sion from the Judge to make a
few remarks. He addressed
the Court for about h.!f an
hour, in a disjointed manner,
in akin the
most solemn pro-
testations of innocence and de
" claring that he fell a victim to
the prejudices of the commu
... tiity. Before he was removed
-from the stand, "as the last re
quest of a dying man" he asked
leave of the Judge to offer up a
prayer to the throne of Grace,
in the presence of the Court
and the auditory. This was
properly rcfusedthe Judge re
marking, that he might at the
door of tlic Jail, if he chose, of
fer up such petition. A great
crowd attended him to the Jail,
where we Understand, a Cler
gyman exhorted and prayed:
The prisoner continued to make
asseverations of his innocence;
until ho was removed to his
cell.
When our paper was put to
press on Wednesday evening,
the trial of James Chamblee for
Perjury was progressing.
We take pleasure in stating
that Judge Daniel seems to
have nearly recovered from the
effects of his recent indisposi
tion. Register.
Supreme Court Decision.-
We learn that the Judges ofj
the Supreme Court have filed
their Opinions, in the case ofj
the fctate v. Slaughter, from
Anson. When the Court ad
journed, this case was under
advisement, and we are in
duced now, to notice the decis
ion of that tribunal in this mat
ter, in consequence of the im
portant principle involved in the
adjudication, and the great in
terest which it has excited in
tho community.
Slaughter was indicted in
Anson Superior Court, for the
murder of his father in-law Tay
lor. He was arraigned and put
upon his trial the pannel were
sworn and charged the case
was fully argued, and the Jury
retired to consider of their ver
dict. At ten minutes before
12 o'clock on Saturday night,
the Judge sent for the Jury,in
to Court, who being interroga
ted, replied that there was no
prospect of their agreeing.
The Judge then remanded the
Prisoner, to be again tried on
the same indictment. Slaugh
ter applied to the Chief Justice
of the State to bc brought be
fore him. bv a writ of Habeas
Corpus, for the purpose of en
quiring into the legality of his
imprisonment, asserting that he
had been once tried for his life,
and claiming to be discharged
under that provision of the
Constitution which declares,
that "no person shall be sub
ject for the same offence to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or
limb." The writ was granted,
returnable to the last Court,
and the question arising there
on, was elaborately argued by
Gaston, for the prisoner, and
by Saunders, Attorney General,
for the State. The Court deci
ded, that where a Jury is char
ged with the trial of a prisoner
for an offence affecting his life
and the term of the Court ex
pires before the redition of
their verdict, the prisoner can
riot be tried again on the same
indictment. Slaughter has, of
course, been liberated from
prison.
It is understood, that Judge
Ruffin dissented from the opin
ion of a majority of the Court, ib.
A Valuable Mine. A sale
was recently made of one
eighth part of a Mine in Burke
county, known by the name o
the Brindle Mine, and belonging
lo the Messrs. Carsons and
others. It brought 85,000, ma
king, at the same rate, the
whole value of the Mine to be
840,000, a moderate estimate
it is thought. ib.
Knapp Executed' On the
28th ult. John Francis Knapp
was executed at Salem, for the
shocking murder of Mr.- White.
His deportment was decorous
and solemn, but he made no
confession.Tlie religious ser
vices were performed ih the
prisoner's cell by Bishop, Gris
wold. After which, about 9
o'clock in the morning, Knapp
was conducted to the scaffold
which had been erected about a
rod back frotri the Jail; and the
death-warrant being read, the
drop fell, and he died almost
without a struggle. ih.
Petersburg Rail Road.- We
are authorised to state, that
Moncure Robinson, Esq. has
been appointed Engineer of
the Petersburg Rail Road Com
pany, and, that the ligation of
the Rail Road to the Roanoke
will be commenced during the
present mouth. Pet. Times. :
Died, in Sussex, Va. on the
2d inst. Mr. James M. Boyd, a
native of Ireland, Mr. B. was
riding his horse at full speed,
when coming in contact with
a cow lying in the road he was
llirowu, and killed. He was a,
teacher of a respectable classic
al school in Sussex, and was
highly esteemed by all to whom
he was known.
Georgia. The Governor of
Georgia has issued his procla
mation for an extraordinary
session of the Legislature, to
convene on the 18th October.
The reasons for the step are
thus stated:
"Whereas, thousands of persons
have entered upon the lands of the
Stale, in the occupancy of the Chero
kecs, and are now, and have been for
some time past, employed in taking
p;reat quantities in value of gold there
from: And whereas, this stale of
things was unforeseen by the Legisla
ture, and therefore, no laws have been
passed fur the prevention thereof, &c.
Manufactu res . According
to an article in the Pawtucket
(11. I.) Chronicle, the prospects
of many of the manufacturers
are now quite flattering. The
plan heretofore adopted of
keeping business in a single
channel, is no longer adhered
to, and the machinery, instead
of running as formerly, almost
wholly on coarse sheetings and
shirtings, is employed in almost
as many branches as there arc
mills. The consumption of cali
co cloths has increased to a
very great extent. A new
branch of industrv, which bids
fair to employ a number of mills
has been opened in the manufac
ture of cambrics: one establish
ment at Pawtucket is said to
might eight thousand dollars
worth of cloth per week, and
another of tho same capacity
is erecting at Providence. The
manufacture of coltonduck has
also been commenced with eve
ry prospect of success.
Imprisonment for DebL.The
Boston Manufacturer says that
all the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts have
expressed a decided belief that
the law authorizing imprison
ment for debt is unconstitional.
Daniel Webster has offered his
services gratuitously, to plead
against its constitutionality,
whenever any respectable body
of citizens shall request them.
Exploring Expedition . . . VVc
learn that Cant. Stanton, of
the brig Bogota, recently from
the Pacific, contradicts the re
port, which was put in circula
tion aboujt the lime of his arrival
of the alleged abandonment of
the exploring expedition, by
the brigs Seraph and Anne
awan. While in the Pacific,
Cant. S. Had .frequent inter
course with the commanders of
these vessels and never during
that time heard' either of them
hint at such ah intention.
Office SccJcci's.SVe infer
from the following paragraph;
extracted from a letter from Pa
ris, that this patriotic class of
citizeus is almost as numerous
in France as in this country:
"In the moment of danger, and in the
midst of fire, there were about 80,000
combatants in the streets of Paris.
There are now more than 100,000
office seekers in the anil-chamber, and
God knows that the working men
who flew with such alacrity lo the
defence of the country are not among
the solicitors: they have returned to
their peaceful labors.. It was the turn
of patriots id show themselves when
the ;rape shot was flying; it is the
;tern of greedy office hunters to show
themselves when the pillage of good
Lplaces is at hand."
Lafayette. The following
are extracts from a letter of the
Parisian correspondent of the!

lt ... . . ... ,
iiiiuiv c aiiau ii.ivu peace.
But believe me, that question de
pended on the voice of one man
and that man was Gen. Lafayette.
If on Friday night, when 1200 of the
hravest and most intelligent of the
youth of Paris marched down to the
Chamher of Deputies to demand that
there should be no hereditary Peer
age, and in fact no Chamber of Peers;
if, I say, at that moment General La
fayette h.d said lo those brave young
men, "Yes, my friends, we will
have a Republic," before 24 hours
France would have been declared a
Republic by the people. I do not
say by the Peers by the Deputies
by the Bankers by the rich merch
ants, or men of property; hut I do say
by those who effected this Revolu
tion that is to say, by the People.
And even yesterday, if in the Cham
ber of Deputies, when Lafayette rose
to address the House, when there was
the silence of death, and when each
one dared not to breathe till they had
neard some few words from this Re
publican hero if then, Lafaj-ette had
said, "Gentlemen, 1 protest against
your proceedings. France shall have
a Charter but shall not have a
Kin." France would have had
no Jvinsr, ana t ranee would nave
maintained her position though mil -
lions should have been slain. It is j day and Saturday, 29th and 30th of

The Royalists and Ultra Royalists
were prepared to a man to support
the Republcan part'."
The Holy Alliance. The
New York Commercial Adver
tiser, in an article entitled The
French Revolution, contains a
number of extracts from the
"state papers and proceedings
published by the several Euro
pean congresses, from the first
formal treaty of alliance against
Napoleon, in March 1314,
down to the general congress,
held at Verona in 1322."
The most pointed passage,
however, from the documents
brought into view by the journ
al wrc have quoted, is one from
the proceedings at the Congress
of Verona. The first and sec
ond articles, as thev cannot be
made to seem more monstrous
by comment, we quote entire, to
speak for themselves.
"Art. 1. 1 he high contracting
partjes well convinced that the sys
tem of representative government
is as incompatible with the monarch
ial principles, as the maxim of the
sovereignty of the people is opposed
lo the principle of divine right, en
gage, in the most solemn manner o
emploj' all their means, and unite all
their efforts, to put an end to the
system of representative government,
whererer it i known to exist, in
the Stales of Europe, and to prevent
it from being irtroddced into those
States where it is not known.
"Art. 2. It cannot be disputed,
that freedom of the press is the most
efficacious means employed by the
pretended defenders of the rights of
nations," to injure those of princes,
me iiign contracting parties recipro
cally promise to adopt" every possible
measure for" its suppression not only
in their own Statesj but ih all others
in Europe."
It is scaacely credible that
such, doctrines of government
could be promulged in tho
nineteenth century.
Fright. A most singular
instance of terror in the human .
species is recorded in the Jour
rial de Medicine for 1827. It
occurred in the hospital of Sal
peiriere (in France.) A female
was so affected with horror on
hearing that her daughter, with
two children in her arms, had
precipitated herself out of a
window and were killed on the
spot, that her skin in a single
: night, from head to foot, be
came as black as that of a negro.
