We learn that the claims presented to the Board amount to some $350,000, the greater part of which, viz: the County claims, will be reserved for the considera tion of the Convention. About 50.000 of private claims have already been reported to the General Assembly; and perhaps from 100,000 to 8150,000 more will be so reported before the adjournment. We are informed that the character of the claims is creditable to the State. There have been none that bear a face of fraud. Some little inconsidera tion, some slight extravagance here and there, is all that has required criticism. Fay. Observer. What it Cost.

Wife Poisoning A man named Sears was arrested in Richmond last week charged with poisoning his wife. On the examination it was proved that Scars, who is a 1 -nnsy Ivaoitin, ii taincd license on the 10th of duly last to marry the widow of Geo. Tucker. Previous to the. cele bration of the rites of matrimony between them, the parties entered into a mariiage contract, in which it3was stipulated that none of her property should be subject to execution for his debts, but that in case she died intestate, her estate should pass into the hands of a trustee, who was to pay over the rents and profits thereof to Sears until his death, when it was to take the course requited by the Virginia law of descents. Thus circumstanced, the parties were married. On the evening of Monday, the 2Gt.h of August, Sears asked hi.s wife if she would like to have some milk toddy. She replied that she would. lie went into t lie store-room, and soon returned and handed her the toddy, which she drank, remarking at the same time that it was the " bitterest stuff'' she had ever tasted, and shortly afterwards, when she had be come very sick, declared that the milk toddy had poisoned her. Some of her neighbors were forth with called in, but when the- arrived she was in convulsions, and survived but a short time. Strychnine was found in the house the next day, and a tumbler, supposed to be the one in which the toddy had been mixed, was picked up near the house, having been thrown away. A post mortem examination of the body of the deceased showed strychnine, or traces of it, in the stomach. N. C. Generals.

The news of the passage of the sequestration j law by the Confederate Congress, has fallen like Salem, 111., on Thursday, the 15th ult., for the a bomb-shell in the midst of the Yankees. It has murder of Andrew J. Applegate. The Advocate, ! produced a panic second only to that which hur- ' giving an account of the preliminary arrangements ! ried their heroic soldiery from Bull Run. For for the execution, the assembling of a large throng j a few days terror, perhaps, will completely para- j of spectators, &c, says: i lyze their energies, but they will soon bring the f Soon after this time, the public were astounded j whole battery of their cunning and ingenuity to . by the report that the convict, White, had pos i bear upon the act for the purpose of defeating it. 1 8esed himself of a rU;n nrl Jm with it ; xn sons or attempts to evaae me stringency oi i the law will be made by that nation of slippery til . - 1 eels with which we are at war. Already we hear of attempts at fraudulent transfers of stocks and other species of property. Fraudulent conveyan ces, false in date and in fact, will be attempted by our enemies. Fortunately, the sequestration law is full and complete in its provisions agninst these attempts. It imposes such penalties that few, if any, of such attempts can prove successful. But tve neverthe less caution the public against the thousand and one efforts which will be made to protect the pro perty of our enemies. U e admonish all clerks, bank officers, railroad officials and others, who' are cognizant of the existence of any and every species of Yankee property, real or personal, to hold on to it until the Courts issue their sequestrating proces ses. Concealment of the knowledge of the cxis- fence of such property is now a crime which the law most severely punishes. All the Yankee pro perty at the South is now a vast fund, out of which the losses of our people from Yankee rapine and pillage must be paid; and he who aids in the withdrawal of arn'-portion of this fund by helping the Y'ankees to evade the provisions of the seques tration act, is a traitor to the South. 2so clerk or other official should not record any transfer of Yankee real or personal property; for every transfer which is attempted since the passage of the sequestration act wears the badges of fraud, whatever date the transfer 11013' bear. Fraudulent dates will not save any portion of the sequestration fund, and the parties to all such attempts should be arrested aud prosecuted as criminals. The bur dens of taxation upon the Southern people will depend very much upon the extent of the futu's which may be accumulated by an honest and faithful enforcement of the sequestration law. FOREIGN ITEMS. Japan. Shanghi dates to July 4th, the relations between the European and Governments are likely to be disturbed. say that Japanese Foreign merchants are being robbed in open day, and it is believed that the Japanese Government sanction the proceedings. Great Britain. Baron de Videl has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment for the assaulc on his son, aud the latter to a mouth's imprison ment for refusing to give evidence against his parent. France. The Independence Beige publishes the substance of an autograph letter f rom the Em peror to the Pope, intimating that it the condi tion of affairs ameliorated the pr50iit status ijuo will be maintained. Turkey. The Circasians have proclaimed a republic. It was reported that three engagements had taken place near Herzegovina, and that the Turks were victorious. mm mm Our Indian Allies. The latest advices from the Cherokee Nation brings intelligence that at a council held on the LlUlh of August, it was decid ed in a full vote, to unite with the Southern Con federacy. Ihere were only two votes in the nega tive. Capt. Pike, Confederate Commissioner, has succeeded in making a treaty with the Camanches, and other wild tribes. Northern Papers. We received through the mails, the New Y'ork Herald of the 23d, and theNew York Express of the 24th August. Also, through the politeness of Mr Dix, the New YTork Herald of Saturday, the 31st Aug. The papers received by mail were postmarked Nashville. In addition to the statement already made public that Butler had gone to Washington to arrange plans for obtaining more troops and car rying out more extended operations against North Carolina, the Herald intimates that 'The ships of war took with them in tow, several hulks for the purpose of sinking them in the entrances to the inlets on the North Carolina coast. Beyond this at present, we are not per mitted to be more specific in our statements as to the objects of the expedition. We may, however, say that the sinking of the hulks is not the only object, and that our readers will probably soon learn that a series of naval operations all along the Atlantic coast, for which the public have so anxiously looked, will have been this week inaugu- rated." It also says that "if the expedition should be very successful, the infantry troops sent out will not return with the squadron." The Boston Traveller has a letter from Salisbury, N. C which states that four members to the United States Congress have been elected in North Carolina! The writer s:iys that the people of North Carolina are fast throwing off the secession yoke, and that they will soon be sufficiently strong j For nearly an hour the officers were engaged in a to an nun nee without fear their determination to ! struggle to enforce compliance. Here, indeed, take a stand for the Stars and Stripes. He further j was the demoniac character of the prisoner dis adds that "there is a Union League throughout j played. He made every effort to prevent the offi- the State, which embraces many thousands of loyal men, and to them is attributed the reaction which is now taking place, and so on and so forth. Who this Salisbury correspondent is we do not know. We take it that he is the same veracious pfrson who informed the New York Tribune that there was a negro imurrection progressing, and ail that. We rather think that the people cf Saiis- bury ouuht to find the writer out j.nd sup'-nd him aud his correspondence simultaneously. )li7- - 4 m minytnn Journal. Letters in northern pipers, purporting to come from the South, are written by some lying scoun drel in New Y'ork or Washington, more likely by some rascal who once lived in the South, and who was driven off before the war commenced. The man Foster, who was driven from Murfreesboro, N. C, about 6 months ago, and who is now lick ing the boots of his masters in Washington, write the letters purporting to emanate from different towns iu North Carolina. EXCITING EXECUTION. A m.m llinifid .Tnmoo WLJto urns PXPentml at P , . ' ' .... , ' threatened instant death to any man who"should dare to enter his prison. The report was found to be true. There had been a chain strongly fixed in the floor of the prison, to which it had becorat necessary on some occasions to secure the priso ners; this chain White, with almost superhuman strength, had wrenched from its fastenings. It was a common-sized ox-chain, about three feet in length, and had upon one of its ends an iron ring nearly nine inches in circumference. White had armed himself with this chain, and by running the . links throu-h the ring, had made a heavy knot of iron, wnicn proved to be indeed a formidable weapon. Standing thus armed inside the door of his cell, White declared with terrible oaths that no living man should enter. In this dilemma, a pause ensued in the proceedings. Sheriff Black made an attempt to enter, assisted by four resolute aud fearless men. Uriven to desneration. the i hardened criminal struck a tremendous blow. which, happily, was but aslight injury upon the left hand of the sheriff It was now proposed to inject ammonia into the fce of the convict and thus by his temporary suffocation, enable the officer to take possession of ms cell. J his was tried, but tailed. Ihe misera ble murderer recoiled for an instant under the effect of the liquid, but speedily recovering him heir, ne sioou ajrain ai me aoor armeu witn nis terrible weapon and looking the impersonificatioti of a fi-nd. lt really seemed a? though the arch fiend helped him. It was now resolved to drench the cell with chloroform and thus lull the turbu lent spirit within until he could be safely captured. The sheriff was still advised to disable him with a pistol ball, but answered that he would not pro ceed to such harsh measures until all other less cruel means had failed. One or two bottles of chloroform were procured and the atmosphere of the cell was thoroughly impregnated with its fumes; blankets were suspended outside the grated windows of the cell, and every step taken to make this effort successful. At first, the furious wretch laughed at this attempt. It was clear that his wicked course of life had made him familiar with the use and the effects of chloroform. Indeed, he said so, aud told the officers that the article they were using was weak and poor He evidently was acquainted with chemicals. In order to resist its effects he wound his bed-quilt around his face, went occasionally to the window for air, and re moved a portion of the blanket by reaching out and drawing it through the grating; so as to make an opening for the admission of the wind. More than an hour had been consumed in these fruitless efforts to obtain possession of the prisoner and his weapon, and it began to be apparent that harsher means were necessary. At about twelve o'clock White was heard to say " they have tried hartshorn and chloroform upon me, but one has neutralized the action of the other; they are now going to try something else." He evidently saw that he must ultimately submit, and, though at first prepared to sell his life as dearly as possible, his courage aud strength now began to fail. He therefore proposed that if the Sheriff' would give him his dinner and a drink of whisky, and let him live till one o'clock, he would yield his weapon and surrender himself. This proposition was ac cepted, and White gave up his knotted chain through the grating of the door, a dinner was pre pared for hioi, and a glass of water with a slight infusion of whiskey, handed him to driuk. It was the last office of apparent mercy, and the Sheriff willingly performed it. At one o'clock the Sheriff entered the cell. White came forward and surrendered himself. His arms were pinioned behind him, and he walked resolutely down the stairs of the jail, through the hall and into the fearful place pre pared for his terrible death. Here brief religious services were held. The services concluded, White accompanied by the sheriff and his assistants, ascended the steps of the gallows without apparent trepidation. He never faltered a moment, but examined with a critical eye all the appliances prepared for his execution. And now occurred one of the mot horrifying and painful scenes in this terrible u ra niti. When once upon the scaffold, and hi ankles being bound together, the usual white cap was produced, aud he was informed that it was I necessary to put it upon his head. To this W hite objected, insisting that no change should be made in his apparel. He wore the little felt cap with which he had covered hia head from his first im prisonment. When the sheriff removed the felt cap, and was about substituting the usual white one, the prisoner again objected, and, with fearful imprecations, declared thit it should not be put on. Sheriff Black, in a decided tone, en deavored to persuade the prisoner, but in vaiu j cers from putting on the white covering. Pinioned j and bound as he was, he fought with desperation. He snapped and bit at their fingers, he leaped into the air, he crouched toward the ground, and for some time it seemed doubtful whether he could be compelled to submit. After a severe and protracted straggle the cap was thrown upon his head and securely adjusted about bis face and the strings drawn around his l neck. Nothing now remained of the direful preparations but to put the rope around his neck and adjust the fatal noose. With some difficulty ' this was at length accomplished, the united efforts ' of four men being required for this purpose. As the Sheriff drew the fatal noose closer to its place and placed the knot beneath the ear of the un happy man, he exclaimed with fearful impreca tions, " What in hell are you choking me now for? you are choking me, for I cau hardly speak.". These are the last words of the unhappy man. The Sheriff cave the signal that all was ready to I his deputy, Mr Schultz : in a moment the trigger j waE drawn, the drop fell, and that unhappy man, so lately struggling with such desperate fury, so lately busy with nis terrible efforts to defeat the vengeance of the law, fell like lead through the draw and hung, slightly oscillating, a struggling, violent human being no longer. PROFITABLE STOCK. Mr. J. C. Miller, living near town, informs us chat in the Spring of 1859 he had three. Yews with lambs which he turned on a grass lot. When the lambs were ten weeks old. ha burehered them. They netted him 3.75 each. The Yews being in good order in July of the same year, lie butchered two of them and found them to be with Iamb: the other dropped her young about the 1st of August. The Spring following (18G0) the same Yew had two lambs. These were kept about the house and yard until they grew large enough to become mischievous. In the Spring of 1SG1, after clipping them, Mr M. butchered them. They netted him 10.50, besides the wool, somo four pounis from each. The old Yew dropped a Iamb in Feb. 18G1, which at six mouths old weighed 50 lbs; and another tho 1st ot August following. , Mr Miller recites these fact3 for the purpose of showing two thiugs, viz: the rapidity with which this kind of stock increases, and the profits arising from it. He assures us that all ,the sheep here spoken of did not consume one gallon of corn, and that he fed them no dry provender. Mr Miller believes iheep to be the most profitable stock a farmer can raise, to his entire satisfaction. There can be but one serious hindrance to general success iu this branch of husbandry," viz: the day, the dogs! the mean and worthless curs and hound which run at large night and day to worry, kill and devoir the timid lambs of the flock. As on of the farmers of the State, Mr Miller asks the protection of the Legislature against dogs. A heavy tax on them, exempting one for each farmer, would be useful as a source of revenue and a means of ridding the State of worthless curs. We all feel the need of wool at a time like this especially; but unless something be dono to prevent the ravages of dogs there is no doubt we shall ere long feel it much more seriously. As an article of food, physicians unanimously" testify that mutton is for many reasons preferable to almost any other kind of meat. Salisbury Watchman. A True Patriot.
