Alternates- Jane Potcer, a rather; handsotne whjte girl of 19 years, and Jane Rankin, a a color'd woman of 25 or more rears, wife of Seott Rankin, were put on trial Saturday last in Rowan Superior Court, hr killing a mulatto child born, as was alleged, of the Aiody of Mary Jaue Poteet, on the 3d day or F ebruary last. - The principal witness es 4n the case were the two Women accus ed, of the crime, and they swore against each other Mary laying it on Jane and Jane laying it on Mary. There was a r t " . ' ' ' . . I tout luiiruerueuoerateiy teretrated, auitj there is liitle. doubt that oue; or both of the women performed the deed. The testimony of Jaue Rankin was that Mary Poteet was alone when the child was born, and that it was covered up under apartf tlie quilt on which Mary was set ting U:fore the fire-place, and that Mary was choking it, and said to her, on enter ing, 1 iu tend, to kill it. The testimony of Mary wasf that Jaue was with her from 20 to 30 uihjutes before the birth, and that Jane struck the chiid on the head-i-he heard the blow but did uot see it given. That site told Jaue she was about to faint, aud asked help to the bed. That Jaue theu caught hold of her hand and put a knife into it, and used her hand with the knife iu it to cut the baby 's throat. That slie cried but, Lord have ntercy, Jaue don't kill it. That she did not see the cut wlieu it was j made, but when Jane heled her up to take her to tho bed she saw that the child's throat was cut ; and that she never saw it agaiu aiier sue laid Uowu on tlie bedi Jaue on the coutrary said, -that when.' she entered the rooiii, Mary said to her the child is born, aud I intend: to kill it. Hand me that knife, pointing to oue on the mantle shelf, oi; the moulding under the shelf. That she said to her, "Oh, no, don't do that!" and Mary said j"l must do it to save luy own lite if par-a comes home and finds it here he will kill both me and Scott." That when she; saw Mary would kill the child she started out, and Mary lose up and' got' the knife. That shib was called bark a short time after ward aud asked tolake thequilt out, which was-qui to, bloody.-and to wash up soino blood stains that was on the thW. That she removed the quilt which wnsroll'd into a bundle, but did not know whether the chiid was in the buudle or uot. That she had been thrown from his - buggy aud killed. The accident occurred near Un ion- church. 5 miles" east of "this olace. Mr. Brown had been attending u church meeting there, and h:ul L j ust skirted with his daughter to go home. It seems that he had previously )ipied 'the bit outof the mouth of his horse, whicit was ft young and rather v spliitiMl'' animal,- to give him a chance tti eatj aud forgot to re place the bit before starting. The horse very soon ook advantage of .his freedom aud ruu'away, ; dashing the buggy against a" tree, aud ' its. occunaats tut the earth. witlrgreat violence. iMr. Brovln was mortally injured. A messenger was despatched for medical aid immediately, and Dr. II. T. Trantham and Dr. Johu Whitehead were summoued. But thejt liad gone only part of i he way when they met a procession beariug the dead body; of Mr. Brown. Jle died iu about 20 min utes after the accident. The daughter of tlie deceased had her collar boue broken and was considerably bruised, and stop ped ou reaching town, at the residence of Mr. J. Allen Brown, where she received- such ' surgical" aid as her case required,1 aud then went oo wjth the body of her father J'he deceased was uearly. 70 years ohl, ,but he was cut off iu the midst of his use fulness, for he was a man who would be doing something of value for the church, the community, or his family. He has beeu a consistent member of the Luther an church for many vears, and not long since testified his devotion to her cause by erecting at his own expense, a very handsome church buildiug near his late residence.

It is about 4 miles froni Silver Hill 'and between it and the Emniond's mine, and about 4 miles Uirom pourad Hill, which is. now being V i inccesgfully workel. Some of tlie ores, .V.'ti?Mdi is of a light blue color, taken fronj 1 1 i the surface, resembles the slate ores of i-u i . i i - p wold Hill,' though different, haVe been I sent to New York to be analysed. The liiTein is about y feet in width, and tracea ? blefor oue-fourth of a mile, x' 4 1 Mr. Best, proprietor of the Western I u jftrriued here Monday uight . -.' "f nd passed up the road on au express ' l rsio early Tuesday morning. So far as e have learned he made no annonuce- foti of his plans aud purpose to any 008 in town. There are a few in livid- placed the quilt under porch. . ! Such is the testimony in substance of these two witnesses, stripped; of unneces sary details. It leaves uo room to doubt that the women were the active agents in this foul crime; and the only ground on which au intelligent aud conscientious jury ciihl acquit them wasi to reject the testimony ot both, iu which event there was no sufficient evidence agaiust either, raud to assume that thev wereoulv the agents of some oue or more persons- who were compelling them under terible threats to commit the bloody deed. The father of Mary, stuug by the shame of his daughter's blasted, character ; and Scott Rankin, the father of the child, dreading th consequences of his seduction of . a white girl who stood fair in the commu nity, were pointed out by public opinion as tlife individuals wlio dictated the com he pursued by .he women. And these men were uuder indictment as accessories to the crime, and were to answer at the pres ent term. It was thought for a while that they would have to atone for au outraged law, aud it was confidently predicted on the streets that they would go to the pen itentiary at the least. 'But meanwhile Judire Buxtou was searching the law and authorities as to tlie encct ot tlie verdict rendered in the case of Mary Poteet aud Jane Rankin, aud when the case against John Poteet and Scott Rankin as accesso rieswas calleAl, to wit : on the same day, announced that he was compelled to or der a noI. pros, iu their case,, and the whole party marched out of the Court House iu the face of the suu, aud return ed to 'their homes unscathed. His Honor's decision was based ou the argument that accessories could uot be jjuilty of a crime of which the principals were declared iu hocent, which we suppose isgood law, tho it must be admitted that tho1 law is straugely at fault wheu such crimes may be committed aud the guilty oues escape the penalties due them. 7 'H "T with us that were very anxious to what kept Mr. Best so luug iu New QW Decobatiox Dat.

At tho first tire Col. Joardaa of the 3Iti a as. or plan of organization, , a we understand it, each county is entitled to cast a cer tain number of - votes iu tlie State eon-, vention. For the- purpose of casting that vote the county sends delegates. A long as those, delegates n;jree bow tha vote of the couuty shall bo cast, po question can arise for the consideration, of the Stj.t convention. : . Up to the preseiit time, according to our information, no point haV ever been made in tlie convention rcqnirjng a de cision whether a majority" of the dele-gait I from a county shall cast the vote. -or otl -erwise. 4n other words, the unit rjile has never .been affirmed or, disallowed. Tlie right of the counties to 'instruct, while it may not liave always 1 been politic, is!a .favorite right with tho peo ple. It would be hard indeed to say to a county thatshe should not instruct for her favorite son. Yet no con,-, eation hasprolw- ably ever Wen Iieldjiu whic!i the coau tier have instructed but that sometime or.uth er the instructed delegates have diso'iey ed their instructions. The county in1 struct for A; after several ballots the impossibility of securing A's nomination becomes apparent, and the selection of B," who Is -Very distasteful to 'tliat county, becomes iuimineiif. To avert that bo'ini- tion. the instructed delecutcs use their discretion, disobey their instructions and vote for C- That .Itappeus constantly. The delegates, as far as the State con vention is concerned, can disregard their instructions at the' outset or at any sulseqnent period of the ' proceeding. Thev wilL however, have to answer for their conduct morally , and perhaps politi callv, to their immediate, constituents. Instructions,' then, are not legally bind ing.; They are morally 'and politically binding, and are not to be' disobeyed un til aueh exigencies arise as will ''justify' a departure from the course preacribed by the county conyeutiou As to the right of the county to inatrm t her delegates there can be no question, j t u althbrigh the State convention ''never has $ enforced it, and probably never will. It' ia uot enforceable. . As to tlie expediency of exercising the right, that must al ways bo determined by the counties themselves. Generally, in our individual opinion, it is not desirable, ' .
