Another name on the list of members of the Provincial Congress of North Carolina was John Brevard. The family is of French ex traction, and its history is associated with the stirring events that accompnnied the Reformation of the sixteenth century, in France. The Calvinistic subjects of the French king were ; persecuted and harassed through long years, until driven to madness thev allied themselves with the Prince. of Conde. and attempted resistance. But their plans were discovered and frustrated, ana thev were subjected to still greater persecu tions. At length however, llenry iv. by tne famous edict of Nantes in 1598 granted qual rights to hisj Protestant ami Catholic ubiects. For about three quarters of a centurv the Huguenots, or French Calvinists. a - .X a I : ... 1 . . a. 1. e noved comparative sau-iy, uunng " i; , 1 3 . time tnev UiUUipilCU anu prosn;iru. ii .. - ! .

In 16B0 nc revoueu tne cuict of Nantes, and endeavored to suppress all forms of worship except the Itomish. liy this cruel and short-sighted policy he drove from his dominions more than half a million of his most r.seful and industriom subjects- farmers, artisans, lalsrers, prMluccrs ot all kinda. Thev crossed iuto Switzerland. Ger- manv, Holland, England, wherever the fron tiers were more casilv nassed. Among these - a TT.,.rliiw.t omiiirritnts. was a vounr man oi the'name of Brevard, who found his way to the north of Ireland. Here he made the ac quaintance of a fsmilv by the name of Mc- Knitt, ot Scotcn extnieinm. rte ueieniiin ed to cast in his lot with this family in their - a .1 - -a. - 1.1 T. projected emigration to tne iew ir.u. x happened that1 there was iri the McKnitt faTiily a fair younji Iass for whom the ar dent Huguenot conceived a tender passion, and responsive affection was awakened in the bosom of the maiden. The result was a marriage, and lua young coup.e upon reaching America Mtled in a home on Elk River, is Maryland' There were oorn onto them five sons and a daughter. The eldest of the e was Jofn Brevard, the Rowan County farmer and! member of the Provin cial (".nnirresa. i Before his removal to North Carolina he was united in marriage to a 6iter of the Rev. Ate. McvThojter, D. D, a distinguish- eu t resiiytenn ihiuiv, short time President of " Queen's Musuem r-nlloffe. In Charlotte. M ! John Brevard settled in Rpwan County, about three miles from Centre Church, some time between 1740 and 1750, coming on with the first emigrants o that section. There he led a quiet and useful life, rearing a large jfamilr," consisting !of eight sons and fonr daiitrhters. whom he trained to be useful cit izens. When the I troublons tiroes of the Revolution came, Brevard was aa old map, but not too old to represent Row in Conntv in the Crovincial Congress. And though too old to take the field, his sons gsNa-tly ottered the call to arms, and entered into overruling your motion for a new trial and give you another ehance-f So elo quently had the negro presented his case that the Judge then dismissed the case, and the prisoner walked out of the court room n free man. This is the first case in Texa.4, at least, where a mail brought up to be sentenced, was ever turned lM)e. Every person present -nays that the effort was the finest ever heard. The negro is uneducated and a common field- hand. ' We understand, on last Wednesday evening some persons who had been fish ing in a hole iu South West Creek, near the ; place known as ''Sheppard Jones' bridge, alnnit three miles from Kiuston, found two of the books belonging to the office of the Superior Court Clerk of Le noir couuty, which had been sunk there under a root. The books found contain the judgments or what is better known as the " Execution Docket," both of the State nud Civil cases. One of the books had a number of leaves torn out, but the index had been destroyed and the particu lar judgments missing could.not be ascer tained. The books were made of heavy stock and well bound' iu strong leather cases, and from their appearauce must have been in the Water for a number of days. This, we hope, will furnish a clue to the guilty parties, aud by their arre.-t and conviction Mr. Hunter will be speed ily vindicated and discharged from all suspicion of complicity iu the charge of arson.

Raleltfh Obserrer About three years ago a man living in an adjoining county, was reported to have been killed by falling from a scaffold The report was publishedj and was seen by the man's wife. She donned the usn al mourning, and for about a year mourn ed the loss of the dead. She then began to turn her thoughts rather to the living Two years past, she was prevailed upon bv a man of this county to become Ins wife, and the license was issued by a reg- tattil it! .b.eiU in this citv. A few weeks C l - - mt amt the supposed dead husband turned np iu a most unexpected abrupt style, to thedistnay of husbaud number twoand the wife. The first husband, after a survey of situation, made application for a divorce which was granted. A few days since the second husbaud, whose other marriage was of course rendered illegal by the ex istence of one husband atthe time the li cense was issued, came into the city and obtained from Captain White, the Excise laws are always oppressive, and taxes assessed by them are nearly al ways! paid under protest. The present internal revenue laws are particularly so, but as the burden falls upon whisky and tobacce, there is probably less general complaint, than if it was levied ou arti cles which necessarily euler into more general consumption. The cost of col lecting the taxes' under our present in ternal revenue laws amount to about seventy -five million dollars, in round 6gnres, aud the party that can control this amouut of patronage counts it quite . ... .. !. 1 a nice little 6Ugar pium in hid geucitti inducements offered for party support.
