They believe, l bat it is chiefly through the contin

minor subjects, thst the ttrength ot the South ii dt
sipated, and its capneity lessened forrenittance.. For
tlifimselvra, ga will beeeeti by their Kewlulionr, while
they look lo a Convention ot the yiitvf holding States,
aa affording the bent prospect and promise ol relief,
they liave no desire to prevcrtho or to dictate the ac

ROWAN SUPERIOR COURT. .
Last week the Superior Court of Rowan was
held. His Hon. Judge Moore, presiding.- There
was but one or two cases of public interest tried :
One was the State vs. Jacob Dove,charged with
the murder of George Linker. This case was re
moved from Cabarrua County. It was entered
upon co Thursday. The examination of witnes
ses occupied the whole of thai day, and part of
Friday. Tine pleading, conducted by .Messrs.
Osborne and Boy den, for the prisoner; and Messrs.
Long and Kerr, on bebalf of ibe State, was com
menced about twelve o'clock on Friday, and was
closed after candle-light. The Jury, after an ab
sence of two or three hours, , brought in verdict of
"guilty." The counsel for the prisoner, on Sat
urday, obtained for him anew trial, so that ihe
case is not yet finally disposed of.
There was another case, an Indictment of the
patrol for transcending the limits of the Law in
the Whipping of a slave. This case excited con
siderable interest, both on account of its novelty
here, and of the' respectable cbaiacter of 'hose
concerned.' It appears thai tbe patrol found a ne
gro fellow off his master's premises with a pass
containing an error as lo the name of the bearer,
and with no specifications as to the place or places
to which be was permitted to go. The pass was
considered a nullity, and the patrol resolved lo
f ive the boy fifteen lashes, and start him home.
I appeared in evidence, that when the boy be
came apprised of this as the intention of the pat
rol, thai be commenced moving ofT, and did not
slop when ordered to do so. , .H WM ea how
ever, and was ordered to surrender a heavy stick
which he was carryins, He refused, and a strug
gle between him, and twoof the patrol jhe other
all.
