Uorth Carolina soil was the theatre yesterday, of an unusual' event--the hanging of three men at the same time and place. It almost makes the blood run cold for one to think of he specta cle which was presented at HiHsboio yesterday. Yet, all thinking people must say 'tis well must applaud the jury which convicted and the executive who had the firmness to resist all man ners of appeals, even appeals from wo men .who , implored him-on bended knees to stay the execution or tne, iei- ons." It appears cruel, at first blush, on the part of "the law; that it should, in cool blood, lay its weighty hand upon a man and throttle him, but 'desperate evils demand the employment of des perate remedies," and there are some crimes for which nothing but death can atone. Burglary has been wisely incorporated in ; our laws J as one of these; The law considers that when a man feloniously enters a house where people are asleep, in the night, for the purpose of robbery, he goes prepared to c.ommjt mumer n it ucucooa w m j purpose, i The'entire correctness; of this presumption has been established in this very case, and the fact that the greater crime was attempted, furnishes all the more reason "why the' lesser should have been fully punished. The best ' effect,' though, f" of this, as of all other executions, ia not that it rids society of, bad and; danger ous men, but that it is a , warning to other ill-disDOsed persons. Tc the ex tent that crime is adequately punished, to the . same extent will it decrease, in bur midst, for few men will violate a Jaw With the? certainty! before; them that its penally will be visited. It is not, therefore, so much a matter of con gratulation that three wretches who hasten vindicated again, and that another finger-board has been placed on the road to the felon's end to warn men that that is a way in which they must not tread.

" The crime for which these men suf fered the extreme penalty of the law' was committed on July of last year. For several months previous, the . village and the vicinity. jQfChapek.Hill . Jiad been kept in a state of terror by at tempts at burglary, and worse still, by, evident attempts at the violation of respectable females. Rooms had been bnt: alarmJras; glvn'i all instances berore the atrocious purpose was, con summated. But the teVrer was ex treme, for no dire ielt safe ; for no one could 6x snspiolon upon any guilty party. 1 Some tnneuring the montli of July as before mentioned, the house of Mrs. Ilendpn, ar highly respectable widow lady, living in the eastern part of the village, . 3rtth her two daughters, was entered,, soon aiter miuuigut, wiia a view.to robberjJlrs. II. had, a few days previous, received? byrBxress a package ' edt; lnraeyjifronif' Alabama, where most of her property is invest ed. .Doubtless it was a-well-known.cir moreof the burglars,' after making an entry of thehouse, proceeded to - Mrs B?s: room. She was awake; and when they entered the room, she rushed to I it J Jl ' A " - me wmaow 10 enaeavor. to give an alarm. To ..silenc.eberIheJVJastxHck, on the head with an axe and severely cut and otherwise injureH. One of her daughters and a servant gave' the alarm DrMallet who - liver pefty Opposite, prompwy snpnded, ; and gthe I miscre ants fidJ MmendbVi iwasj folmd. bleeding and senseless, upon tne floor. Most active efforts were at once pu' on foot to ferret out. the crime. Two young negr6xaein living! on the prem ises, were arrested, but discharged, as there was no sufficient evidence to de-' tain them ; and for some time the dia bolical crime was wrapped in mystery. the excited peopl& meaiiwlule-teiriir night early in August, the house of the! Rev. G. W PjUref ay,liying a mile or more from the village, was entered with purpose to rob; but the purpose was frustrated, but not before a glimpse of one of the narties was cauerhl suffl cierit to identify him, aud the next day Albert At water, a young negro man, was arrested, charged with the crime. Upon his examination, finding the proof con elusive against him, it appears that he made the proposition that if his life were seuureu 10 mm, as . estates evi dence,' he could 1 unfold mitch' of ! the mystery 'which had (enveloped tlie long series of hidden crime. Upon that as surance he told of the Hendon outrage and implicated H. Alphonso Davis and Henry Andrews, two young white men of very respectable parentage and con nectiou, , and Lewis. Carl ton, a colored L A ""' ' "! " t ' 'mm. man aoout au yeara 01 age, as ins ac complices. They were all arrested and fy their committal without bail to Or ange county jail. They had their trial before Judge Kerr at the fall term of the court, the trial consuming four days of the term xuey wexewjeju) uerenaeu, and as ably prosecuted, &hd on Saturday even ing of the court the jury took the "case and in a very few minutes returned with a verdict of guilty, as charged in the bill of jndictment. .Mr. C, E. Parrish, of ' counsel, for the def ence, mbVed in arrest of judgment, that after the jury had retired, it had come to his knowl- edge that one of the jury was an infidel. The judge overruled the motion, where upon, am appeal was-taken ; to: the Su preme Court. The case was heard in January, the judgment of" the court be-; low was affirmed, and at the spring term of Orange Superior Court they were sentenced to be hanged on the. 2d day of May.

SKETCHES OT THE CKIMrNALS Abridged from the Raleigh Observer, of Msterda y Alfonso Davis, the captain of the gang, was born in the village, and had grown, up under the . sound of the old college , bell.- Though Of humble' pa rentage, his opportunities gave him as sociation .with thesenhg students that had come" f rom all parts of the State and the South to attend lectures at the University. These opportunities could have worked him out a weight of real good; but they seem, only to have in creased bis capacity for wickedness. Of pleasing but rather familiar address ho has forced his way along lathe world with some degree of success. "After A jaunt to the West he became on his re turn to the State a clerk at the foyoen louse in Salisbury. 1 He led a fast life there, and left that morale town at tue solicitation of the short sharp bark of a derringer) carrying wlthbmi the ruiri 01 a iair younsr woman ana tue uauoi- nessof her people. He then came to Italeigh, where he was for a while a hotel clerk at the National and atter wards at the Yarborough Houses Since his return to Chapel Hill he has led a life of! indolence, - waste- and drunken violence.1?

So he "tumbled to the racket" of the bare suggestion. He is without character. Having toyed with the misdemeanors, he got an appetite for substantial crime, and listened with an eager credulity to the easy methods of money-getting which Davis, the financier, hid at his tongue's end. During the period of time covered by these burglaries the wife' of Louis died at the breakfast table. A postmortem examination revealed vrhat J A I . J? is uncommon in swiowens, even 01 wo men, ground glass and poison. A few days after this bereavement Louis took to himself a wife, the mother-in-law of Albert Atwater, the fourth man in the villainy, who completed the quartette of cut-throats. The last acquisition was the worst. It was he who destroyed them. He is a negro of no marked character. His courses have been evil. His honesty was questioned. He owed money for ' his house..
