P. not a - haodred miles from these dtggins. We do not presume to hope that the wit ness in this case will acquire the same fane and celebrity which the distinguished case of Cou sin Sally Dillard has won for the jurisprudence of North Carolina, but still as an incident aid occurrence highly descriptive of scenes that are occasionally presented in such trials, we think not unworthy of the room and space they may ! occupy. Laugh and be fat, is a maxim of philosophy of the older times, and may be prof itably and beneficially acted on even in these days of boasted progression, when the sultry heat of summer induces a fondness for mirth and good humor. For a more complete under standing and appreciation of the merits of the controversy, we deem it indispensible to append a brief -description of the scene, and the trial that the reader may feet that he was fairly in court, thai he saw his Honor and Justice, heaj-d the prosecutor in his evidence, saw the counsel on both sides and participated in the novelty it amusement, which the whole affair presented. Suffice it, therefore, to say that his Honor the Justice, was sufficiently aldermanic in his appearance to have taken his seat with grace and dignity, beside the Lord Mayor of London, or the Chief Burgomaster of Amsterdam, and presentrftg- abont as good-natured an embodUi :o oe ionu. ine eoansei for the State, or prosecutor, were two limbs of the law from 'the dark and bloody-ground," as divers and different in their nature and appearance at North and South, Zenith from Nadir, or any thing else. The young sprig of Justice was a tall, sis-footer, with raven leeks and dark eyes, presenting altogether a free and easy, devil-me- oare manner, and a non-chatance air and de meanor that showed he would "pitch in" to a case on the rongh and tumble order, and slosh round generally, like a Kentucky boatman, in a regular knock-down and drag-cot melee. The elder member of the bar on the same side, was essentially different in all particulars, of his outward personclle and inward qualities. ne wasn't as high up in the world as his younger brother'by several inches, not being more than five feet 8 or 9 in. He wore specs was red haired, of florid complexiou. and san guine temperament. With a non-committal, pausing and calculating appearance and de meanor, he seemed as sharp as a bamboo-brier and keen as a cambric needle on all the big and little pints of the case, with enough of the qualities of Qnirk and Gammon to meet any sudden change or emergency. The counsel for the defence were a couple of representatives of the "second families of Virginia." that present ed considerable of a Dromio-like appearance, the chief difference of which was that one looked more like he belonged to the fat and the other to the lean order of Pharoah's live stock. Both more grey-haired than venerable, the one more like a Parson, but the 'tother looked like he was rather the fondest ot spiritualities. The prosecutor was rather- a small, dark haired, cat-eyed, dried up, san-bara lookiag specimen of humanity, that ia days ef yore, had taken his round with the . b'hoys, drunk bad whiskey, been in a good many sprees, and acted enough on the cut and slash and knock-down order, to have gained the appellation, of Devil John, whilst he lived in Possamneck, but since he moved to Sookerasnatehie, he bad turned "kinder" j0ii, and had recently joined the church about the third time, and got to be a class leader of the brttthren, changing the "hu rra boys" style of past days for the winning sing song hallelujahs of this new calling. He did uui, iii net, acvm tu usic gutica cuhici iwiw the hang of his new vocation and his manner was, therefore, much more imitative than natu ral, more new-learnt than free ad easy. The prosecutor bore npon the right side of the fore head the indubitable black and blue evidences of a recent scrimmage, and showed the trae spirit of revenge and vindictiveness in eo",,g to "take the law" of his assailant and get full satisfaction. His tone and manner on the wit ness stand was certainly rare and peculiar, presenting a remarkable compound of the sing-J song style of daddy Donk, and the bluff manner of the witness in Cousin Sally Dillard and Cam tain Rice.
