Tii Fall Term of this Court commen ted its session in this place on Monday last and cloed on the succeeding Thursday Judge Caldiccll presiding. The only matter of especial interest Was the case of tho State vs. Harry Lane, which has been so long suspended between this i and the Supreme Tribunal of the State, and which came up for final adjudication. The piisoner was brought to the bar on Tuesday, when upon the reading of the mandamus of the Supreme Court, direct ing the Court below to proceed to judg ment, the Judge proceeded to pronounce the sentence of the law. that he should be i r t m . i r . uuiig uu inuay, U1C -HII Ul UllUUCI llt Al. The address of His Honor was brief bul pertinent, and delivered with great emo tion it was heard by the prisoner with un- i . ,i : rr VUlltClil U'JtUCIUJg UU illUiUCIVIICU. This is the third Court which His Hon tr had held since his elevation to the t Bench, and we are happy to say that his courtesy and urbanity gave unusual satisfaction. . (JOur readers may perhaps recollect, that Barney Mitchell, suspected of having recently committed murder in Louisiana, after being anested in Martin county in this State, made his escape from jail. The Sheriff of Martin, with a praiseworthy zeal, pursued him and we understand has arrested him in Georgia, and tarried him on to Louisiana for trial. (JIn our lecent account of the discus sion at this place between Messrs. Toole and Harriss, we stated that Mr. Harriss had , proposed a bet. Mr. Harriss contends this is a misrepsesentation of him. Now, as . toe design no injustice to him or any one else, we will allow him to ppeak in lii.s own words, and let the public judge. The fu'.iuh i g is Mr. Harriss's own account of lite ma iter, written out too after he had de liberated on it and seen our comments. CELEBRATED A i st V rr a d pi jicuuai iic, viUgii tiiiu tt ui in re admitted by the Medical Faculty, to the best preparation ever introduced for . ! cure of those diseases for Vhich they recommended.

Now, we leave it to the public to say, with. all this explanation, if there is any misrepresentation on our part. With all his circuitous mode of expression and ex planation it all amounts plainly lo this. He proposes a stake or wager of $100 to be lost or won according as his or Mr. T's statement is correct, which is certainly a bet. No matter how ihe money when won is to be applied, the fact that it is applied to some charitable purpose, does not alter the character of the proposition. It is a wager, where one or the other loses money. ; When Mr. Stanly made his famous bet here, we understood him to say by way of relieving himself of the odium of the bet, that if he won he would appropriate it to dme charitable purpose. Yet we hate al ways understood he transferred the bet to this same Mr. Harriss, who received the full benefit of it. We are told that "charity covereth a multitude of sins" and now it has to cov er all these Whig bets. The public will understand this matter, and decide if it was not a proposition to bet, notwithstanding he disclaimed it in words. Ezekiel Polk. The Globe contains from the able pen of the Hon. Wm. H. Haywood, a full and satisfactory vindication of Ezekiel Polk, the grandfather of Col. Polk, from the charge of tory ism. A charge which has been maliciously circulated against a de ceased patriot of North Carolina, to affect the growing and mighty popularity of One of his descendants', whose fidelity, patriot ism and devotion to his country, are be yond even the attempts of paity malignity. -This vindication by Mr. Haywood is free from the taint of pirty feeling, offends none, and rescues the reputation of a depar ted pa'riot of his own native Sule from a charge inflicting a stigma alike on his family & his native State. Surely in such an effort Mr. Haywood should be seconded by eve ry North Carolinian and receive their thanks. It is the pride of every State t cherish the reputation of such of her eitiz -ns as distinguish themselves by tlvMr t dents or devotion to the country. And more i spe iciallv are we taught from our cradle to ex tol and glory in the deeds of our Revolu tionary soldiers. No State is doiro'js of iivini birth to an Arnold or a tvirr, vet we find some of our own citizens engaged in the unfilial attempt to prove to ihe world that one of our distinguished Revo lutionary soldiers was a lory. Can any thing good grow out of such an ungrateful act? Can any political party that seeks its ends through such base means p:o?pei? Can any State which encourages such slan ders on her best character?, or such calum niators, ever expect to thrive? The character of the Slate i3 identified with her own citizens. The honor or shame of the individual reflect on the State. When the slanders of her public men are encouraged, the fame of the State is blackened, and bad men and still worse counsel prevail. The testimony which Mr. Haywood has collected and published, furnishes too thcL strongest testimony in favor of the original ; Declaration of Independence in Mecklen burg, which some even yet profess to . doubt. Mr. H. has rendered this valuable ! service at least, and it is further establish n, hv A ; an, I ,-, l,H,nnnu. lh.Hi ,. . r. ., ., . ,, .

Under this testimony, o fortunately preserved to protect an honest man's repu tation from the merciless shaft of paity vio lence, every North Carolinian should pre serve the reputation of Ezekiel Polk. An attack on him is an attack on every mem ber of the Polk family, some of whom are now distinguished ac'ors in public life; and 'tis an attack on his native State, from which he has every right to expect a vin dication of his fame which he has bequeath ed to it, along with the services ho has S rendered.

There is no great effort on the part of the managers at this establish ment to please, particularly on the arrival of visiters. Dr. Goode is too high, toned for the Proprietor of a watering place, and his superintendents seem to have caught some of his spirit. With pleasure 1 allue to the good fare, and admirable discipline of the servants; but am sorrv to hiul tault with some of the many extra charges. which I look upon as ridiculous extortions upon the public. At the White you are charged for the water only, here you pay $510 per week for board, 50 cts. for every bath, 25 cents for a snack and extra char ges arc made for having your mals bro't to your room, or if you are helpless, luf servants to carry you to the hath.

The reason, we are told, is this: Some time since a gentleman whose land borders upon Lake Druminond, obtained leave of the "Canal Company" to drain his land into the Lake; he accordingly dug a ditch some ten or twelve feet wide leading through his land into it, when" lo! and behold the watcrjnstead of running into the lake dis charged itself therefrom, Hooding iIvj land, which was intended to he drained, in con sequence of the surrounding swamps being lowrr than the body of water composing the Lake. The gentleman whose land was thus flooded, to save himself, dug another ditch leading to tho head of Pasquotank River through which Ihe water lushis rapidly, thus greatly diminishing the Sup ply necessary lo practical purposes of th; Canal. A great many vessels are now de tained in 'the Swamp' from the above cause. M Slate. The Methodists. From the minutes of of the annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the year 1843 44, just published, (says the N. Y. Post) it ap pears thenett increase of the previous year, namely, 154, G24, makes the unpreceden ted increase of 257,455, in the short period of two years, and the whole number of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1,111, 356. The number of traveling preachers, or regular clergy, is 4,282; of ihe superan nuated, or worn out travelling preachers, 8,087. In other words, the number of Methodist Preachers in the United -States and Texas, exceeds that of the Standing Army of the United States. It is a fact whole number of travelling preu,, -. was ftjtfnrf necessary during the iasi yea. pel 6n!y two from the connexion. DIEO. In this county, on Wednesday last, Mr. Thothas Willi ford.
