impartial account of the suit of Cornelia

Gorrell and A. G- Foster. Ksqrs., for the
Plaintiff, anil Hugh Wadditl, Burton
Craig. Thomas J. V ilson and Charles K
Shober, Eqrs for the Defendant.
This suit was called on Wednesday
morning The Plaintiff's counsel called
the. witnesses, and declared themselves
ready to proceed. The Defendant's coun
sel, on being addressed by the Court,
arose, read in open Court a written ex
planation, fully exonerating the Plaintiff
from all imputation, and asked leave to
have the same spread on the minutes of the
Court for the Plaintiff's vindication, which
was allowed. The Defendant then with
drew all his pleas, called for the writ and
confessed judgment for the sum often
thousand dollars, the amount claimed in
tht) writ and declaration. This being
done, the father of the Plaintiff. Henry R.
Dusenbury, being deeply affected, retired
from the Court with his counsel and his
friend, to consult, as we suppose, as to
what under the circumstances, was the
course of honor and propiety for the Plain
tiff. The counsel returned into Court,
and stated that the Plaintiff had instruct
ed him to say that she had not sued for
money, ami that she would have none of
the judgment, and with the leae of the
Court caused the same to be noted on the
docket.
Judge Caldwell made some appropriate
remarks tending to show that he conceived
the character of the Plaintiff fully vindicat
ed, favorable to the propriety of the course
of the Defendant, and complimentary to
the Plaintiff in that she declined to receive
the recovery."
A fight took place in tie.peaceable streets
of Winston, on Wednesday, between Men
Leach and W. R. Wiggins, Esq., both
from Lexington, in which pistols were
used, the latter receiving a Hesh wound
from a ball, which fortunately is not of a
dangerous nature.
We have heard virious accounts of the
affair, but the above are the facts, without
going into particulars, as the matter will
undergo judicial investigation. It is gen
erally known that the parties had been at
variance fur some time. Mr Wiggius is
doing well Salem Frets.
Cuke for Cancer. The editor of the
Franklin (Tenn.) Review, publishes the
following account of the cure ot a Cancer
in that county recently, which we publish
for the benefit of whom it may concern :
We (eel that we cannot better or more
profitably fill a small space in tlw Review
at the present time, than by giving to its
readers a cure tor that distressing, and
hitherto, considered incurable disease.
cancer. There is no humbug about it, and
we hope all who are afflicted in that way
will read and put into practice the informa
tion which we are about to communicate
Our friend, Mr George Bennett, who
is well known in this and several adjoin-
ing counties, nas beon tor years severely
afflicted with a cancer on his nose, and
had been treated by the best physicians of
this and adjoining Mates, without success.
until within the past year he heard from a
kind mend ihat that there was a remedy
for the disease, and was induced to try it
a-aint the recommendations and reuion
atrances ol hi f lends.
The remedy is a simple one, nd can do
no harm; and as it has cured Mr Bennett
tie is anxious that all who are similarly
alnicteu snouid know what has wrought
"
this cure in him.
He procured about a peck of clean red
oak bark, by first cutting off the rouh
outside, and put it into a vessel containing
about two gallons ot water, which he boil
ed over a stow fire until the onz.e became
quite strong, when he strained it through
a cloth to remove all the particles, of the
bark, then he again put it into a clean
vessel, and simmered it over a slow fire,
till it came to the consistency of molasses,
when it is fit for use. It is then spread
upon a piece of silk, or other soft r.g and
applied to the diseased part. He ued
about two plasters each week, until the
cancer was removed and the wound healed
He says it is not painful, but believes it an
uifailib'e remedy. At all events, he feels!
such lively gratitude for his own deliver
ance from so fatal a disease, that he de
sires to let all know the means by which
he believes he has been rescued from the
hands of death.

N. C. STATU BONDS. i
As a matter of public interest we insert
the following card from D. W. Courts,
Public Treasurer :
Treasury Office, l
Raleigh N. C, April 8th, 1352.
Sealed Proposals will be received at this
Office until the 10th of May next, for the
purchase of Sixty thousand dollars worth
of Bonds issued by the State of North
Carolina; the interest on which will be
payable on the first Monday in January
andJulv in each vear. and the Drincioal
at the end of ten vears in conformitvi'tch . bank, ashes,
with an. Act of the General Assembly viC
said State, ratified January 28th. 1851
Persons bidding will please endorse on
their letters "Proposals for State Bonds.
The following editorial notice of tie sale of
the bonds mf the State of North Carolira appears
in the Washington Union of the 10th iist:
North Carolina Bonos. In another
column will be found an advertisement,
made on the authority of the treasurer of
North Carolina, for the sale of sixty thou
sand dollars of the bunds of that State.
In connexion with it we are aithonzed
by the treasurer to say that the present
debt of the fixate, upon which slle is now
paying interest, is less than a in B lion and
a quarter no part of her appropriation
for her central road, which is progressing
rapidly, having yet been called for, and
the interest of the two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of bonds ol the V ilming
fon and Raleigh Railroad Company, en
dorsed by the State, having been promptly
met by that company.
Considering the great resources of the
State, the smallness of her debt, and the
sacred regard she has alwavs shown for
her obligations, we should suppose that the
bonds now offered would be eagerly taken,
and would command a high premium.
Mr Stanly has written a letter to the
Washington Republic, in which he labor
to produce the impression that General
Srott is sound upon the ciin premise '
I He says he "knows'' him to be so, and has
V .- a a
accordingly issueu nit ettici to tne w nig
of this State on the subject. He expects
to suppoi t Gen Jicott, and evidently cal
culates that the Whigs ol North Carolina
will go with him in the absence of (denies.
and take his word for it. He has thus set
himself up. at Washington City, as
tntniiing machine Mr nis constituents. ' M J
Stanly'' s arrogance is only equalled by his
radical rottenness on the question of
Slavery.
We shall take up this letter in our next,
and expose the game which this unprinci
pled politician is playing. Hal. Standard.
Fankin's Massacmr. It is not generally
known, that the State of Texas, years
ago, passed a law giving to the next of kin
ot each soldier, who fell in the mas
sacre of Fannin, at the Alamo, sixteen
hundred acres of land, to be located on
any of the unappropriated public lands
belonging to that State. Gen. Houston
recently delivered an address at Hunts
ville. Ala., in which he referred t tuis
matter, and requested those present
give as much publicity to the fact as possi
ble. As many of the early settlers of
Texas were from North Carolina, we cll
attention to the subject, as there may be
relatives of some of the heroes who fought
and fell at the Alamo, in ou State, entitled
to the generous provisions of the Texas
law.

AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT IN EDGE
COMBE INTERESTING TO FARMERS. .
We are permitted to make the follow-
ing interesting extract of a letter from
Jesse H. Powell. Esq , ot Edgecombe
county, to Maj. Charles I. Hiuton, of
Wake county, dated
Battleburough, Edgecombe, N- C,
March 12. 1S52. ,
Having a little leisure, and believing
that you and others in the upper counties
are too much disposed to attribute the
improvement in farming in this county,
now in its infancy, to Marl, and in order
to show you that "kind Nature has put in
your reach the materials of improvement
in abundance, I am induced to make some
remarks. A portion of this county (Town
Creek) which has, 1 believe, the best
practical farmers in the State, and who
realize the largest profits, is almost desti
tute of Marl but one farmer in that re
gion having used it at all, and he only
during the past year. A great deal of
this Land, formerly quite poor, is now
producing 1200lbs seed cotton to the acre,
and one farmer has averaged over a bale

of this I begin my heap; if the land is very

I first put down 20 loads ot Muck in a
circular form of 15 or 18 feet in diameter.
which is made level with the hoe. on which
is put "measured) 8 or 10 bushels of cotton
seed, and spread irgularly over I now
put on 17 or 18 loads nmre of Muck
(diminishing the number of loads as I
raise the heap) vhich is followed by 12
or 15 bushels stable manure- continuing
in this way until the heap is finished,
generally having two layers of seed and
two of manure the whole to be capd off
with 10 or 12 bushels uuleached ashes.
The whole pile, when finished, is not
more than SO or 56 inches high. The
advantage in having the pile so large for
the height is in order to drive up the mules
on the heap and pour out, thereby saving
much labor. 1 prefer putting in several
kinds of manure in the heap. The size
of heaps is made to contain just the loads
intended for an acre. Some of the heaps
are made entirely of ditch bank and ashes,
the proportion about 10 or 12 bushels
ashes to 20 loads ditch bank.
My carts are made to hold, when
heaped, about 6 bus els. This prevents
overloading and renders the application
on laud more regular. If 1 wish to ue

required to fill the cart are carefully coun
