Died, In iio.;city, at midnight of Thurs day, the 2Gth i::t., at the residence ol J. 1). Cameron, Esq., Miss Sar di L. Moore, in the 9 ird year of her age. She was daughter o! the Hon. .A iircd Moore, n. Judge of the Su piviiie Court of the United States, appointed by President John Adams, and who died in 1S10, the daughter thus surviving the father 78 years. The deceased was born in Brunswick county, on the loth day of October, U'J", and her life was spent partly in the lower Cape Fear, partly in Orav.gc count', the last four years in Asheviiie. Her long allotment of days was quietly and equably passed with the usual share of human vicissi tudes.but with unusual contentment. Up to the period of her liual illness she had through a, long life enjoyed remarkably fine health, and her ro bust strength and cheerful spirits well capacitated her for her inno cent out-door enjoyments of which she was remarkably fond, or the in door entertainment of the young, an equally marked enjoyment. Her liio was "tranquil and of calm re, pose," and, her long journey ended, she is translated to anotner sphere there, we hope, with heightened ca pacity for happiness to enjoy through endles3 ages the rewards ot her innocent earthly walk. Her remains were taken to Hills boro, to be interred in the family cemetery at Moorefields in the vi cinity. To Ice Consumers.

The Ilou-e committee on public lands litis instructed Representative Stockbi klge, of Mississippi, to report favorably to the House, and trv to se cure early consideration for the Sen ate bill withdrawing the right to make private cash entries of hind iu Ala bama. Mississippi and Ark iiisas du ring the remainder of the present Congress. The coinmitt e was in formed that large ainotimts of mineral and timber lauds iu those States are being bought up at private sales or through cash entries by Chicago and Cincinnati syndicates, with a view to the probable passage of th pent! ing hill, which provides among other things, for the withdrawal of such lands from sale by cash entries, and for its disposal under the general homestead laws.

We were in attendance on the Spring Term of this Court during the first three days of this week, and jot down a few observations. The attendance of the bar was unusally large owing to the fullness of the civil docket. Jack6on court is the focus of interest tor the surrounding ci unties, a much larger number of land suits being entered here for adjudication than in all the other counties put togeth er, not from litigious inclination but from force of circumstances. Therefore there is a full gathering of clients from Havwood and from Swain, from Macon, Clay and Cherokee; and "where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gather ed together." Lawyers flock in from all these counties. There were twenty-tour in all present at thiB term, to wit Solicitor Moody, Moore, Hooker and Hampton of Jackson, ex Judge Gudger, G. S. Ferguson, W. B. Ferguson, Gilmer, Norvell, Norwood, Smathers of Haywood, Fry, Fisher and Leatherwood of Swain, Eliasand Ray of Macon, Diilard of Cherokee, Crash and Ducuworth of Transylvania, W. W. Jones of Buncombe, and Price of Row an. To these may be added Cummings and T. A. Jones of Buncombe, in charge ot the mandamus case from Buncombe, and Mr. Boyle, a lawyer from Utiea, N. V'., engaged as counsel for a Northern house in a case pending in Jackson court. In connection wiih the civil docket, we may mention here, thai it was soon disposed of, only one case bein tried. The others, or a majority of them, were dependant upon the establishment of a principle involved in cases now before the State Supreme Court. The State docket was not a large or important one, and was disposed of by 10 o'clock Wednesday morni g. Ihere were two cases, however which created much local interest. The first was that against John M. Long, for cutting T. B. Allison some time during the winter in the progressof an affray. Thedefendant is a son of the Register of Deeds, and his connections were large and influential, and consequently the issue was awaited with much anxiety. On Wednesday morning, the Judge pronounced a sen tence ot four months imprisonment at hard labor in the county jail. The other case was the well known one of Gen. E. R. Hampton, indicted for shooting at Mr. Boyden of Salisbury eome weeks ag . In this case aiso, the defendant submitted. Full statements were made by both parties. Mr. Boyden, whose honorable name had been injuri ously associated with the imputation of writing the wicked and cowardly anon ymous letter which was the foundation of the difficulty, was signally vindicated, not his own denial of the alleeation was accepted without hesitation, but the testimony to his manly and honorable character, from such distinguished wit ness as Capt- Charles Price and Mr. W. W.Jones, demonstrated the impossibility of his complicity in an act bo base. Gen. Hampton candidly admitted that he had cruelly wronged Mr. Boyden by his assumptions, and was sat;stied that his sensibility to the honor of his family had made him a ready victim to the malice of others. We are glad to say that after the trial, mutual explanations were made, and the parties cordially reconciled. Gen. Hampton was fined ?3. The members of the bar mostly re turned home on Thursday, the Judge waiting until,the next day, pnd then re turning home, there to spend the week with his family previous to going to Macon. We aliall have more to say of Jackson county in another issue. We write to day under pressure of circumstances to which we are compelled to yield.
