Among the cases disposed of in this Court,1 which, adjourned Wednesday 'afternoon, was that of Ctesar White, colored, who was tried and .found . guilty in twenty-three. separate bills of 'indictment for. selling liquor without license, and also for not hav ing a license to retail signed, countersigned and registered abcording to law. ?vA true bill was returned by the Grand Jury against one Highfield, a soldier of the' Garrison at Smithville", for the unnatural and horrible crime of committing a rape upon his. own daughter, and it is understood that the evidence is very conclusive. ' A very ,N interesting . question ot juris diction, we . learn, is likely to arise in -: this case between the United States and State authorities. We un derstand the Federal officers are advised that they may have exclusive '-jurisdiction over the territory they occupy, so as to take the same entirely out of the State lim its. The 8lh section of the 1st Article of the Constitution of the United States gives the Federal authorities exclusive legislation over all places purchased by the consent of the State Legislature for the erection of forts, &c Fort Johnson was ceded to the United States by North Carolina, it being originally the property of the Crown, by the act of 1794,un two conditions: First, that the fort should be rebuilt in three years and .forever thereafter kept up, and, sec ond, that no officer of the State should be hindered or debarred from serving any pro cess within, the limits to the same extent as as if . the i. cession had never been made. In 1807 tne . united . states . au thorities 'were granted an extension of time by the State Legislature for one year, the fort being not yet fully com- pleted. In 1809 this time was again ex tended 7 years, at the request of the United I States, provided that on failure of ? the I National government to keep the said works in sufficient order and repair as a fort for public defence the said ground should re vert to the State. Provided, further, that the cession should not be construed to pre vent any State officer from serving and exe cuting process to the full extent of the State law, as though the cession had never been made. -.We understand that Mr. Solici tor Cantwell insists that the jurisdiction of the State Courts over the territory is net impaired, nor' does it in the slightest de- eree impair the State sovereignty. Not to speak of the forfeiture which may bo in curred by the failure to keep up the fort, the reservation of the right to serve process is not in'conflict with the exclusive legisla tive "power, "vested 'b "the" Constitution in the United States, and these places are not capaDie oi Deing maae sanc tuaries for fugitives to exempt them from acts done within- and cognizable by the State in which the territory belongs; while at the same time Congress is enabled to accomplish the great objects of the pow er conferred by the Constitution. We understand the capias has not yet been served, ancf the prisoner is still in the custody of the military, "no demand having been made for him.' A true bill was found against Lovet Mai pass and others, for an aggravated assault and battery on a man named Jas. M. Dale. The parties Were bound over in the sum of i nnn .oli 4nr their anrje&rance at the next term of the Court The Grand Jury, we understand, found an unusual nunber of true bills, and a large amount of business was transacted.

Atan early hour yesterday the bondhold ers, railroad "kings," attorneys, agents and others interested In the Wilmington, Char lotte and Rutherford Railway commenced operations. The fight had narrowed down to a contest between Mr. R. Y. McAden and the remaining first-mortgage bondhold era, the latter beln how generally known as the Onderdonkers. As the hour appointed for the sale drew near, rumors came thick and fast in regard to an alleged compromise between the par ties to the contest First, it was said that , McAden and the Onderdonkers were with in fifteen hundred dollars of a trade; then, that they were "split" on a thousand dol-s lars; next, that being divided by the insig nificant sum of two hundred and fifty dol lars, Judge Onderdonk and Mr. McAden had thrown " heads or tails" and that the grand question had been decided -by the tossof a copper cent , This latter rumor has hot yet been confirmed; but it is a fact that theOnderdonkers settled with McAden by paying him, we are informed, .65 cents on the dollar for the bonds held by him to the amount of $195,000, and that he accepted in payment a sixty-day draft, to which he attached .' his bonds- deliverable on - pay ment of draft, this being intended, we pre sumeHo make the thing more binding," as the ipoet hath its v v . ;. ' The ; McAden night-mare , having been thns shaken off, about 11 o'clock A M., the Onderdonkers began to appear on the streets with faces changed from - elongated to broad; there was even some talk among them of opening a bottle of .4sassperiller" pop some time during the day, provided no more "fearful Adversaries" rose up in their path to clog their movements ' or thwart their designs. yt ? r, .. i But " time and tide wait" for no bond holders, and as the hour of 12 approached the crowd around the Court-house door in creased in numbers until it became the largest assembled on such an occasion within the memory of the " oldest inhabi tant" - There were lawyers and bond holders, merchants and. wood-sawyers, edi tors and reporters, railroad "kings" and railroad servants, - planters and insurance age fits, boot-blacks and politicians; and, in short, several hundred people, each man with forty thousand dollars in his pocket, and apparently bent on the purchase of, a railway. (7 O i ' V The hour of 12 having arrived, there was a comparison of watches, the auctioneer, T. M. Gardner, Esq., took his position ini the Court-house door, and there was a fran tic rush for choice, positions. Then the auctioneer read the decree under which the sale was to be 'made, and-announced that the purchaser would be required to "come down" with forty thousand dollars in hu man cash. This announcement resulted in a general examination of pockets which de- veloped the fact that there were very few gentlemen present who could "see" the auctioneer's "blindn. , There were three bidders, however, as follows: 1. Edward Matthews, of New York. Mr. Matthews is a gentleman who would pass for CO years of age," is 'the largest indi vidual holder of the first-mortgage bonds. and appeared at the sale as Trustee of all the bondholders except R..T. McAden, re tired. . - ' -' . 2. Calvin M. McCloud. " Calvin is a bar- rister at law, of the county of Buncombe, and junior partner of the firm of Woodfin & McCloud.. He is a youth of heavy phy- Vique, has long flowing hkir, and a frontis piece, below the belt, of Aldermanic pro portions." t is not positively , known what particular - interest ; Calvin - represented, though he was heard to remark that he had " kewpons " which he would generously sacrifice for 33 cents on the dollar. But Calvin was AO ?' sardine " as a bidder, as we shall presently show. i 3. A P. Spiro. " Mr. Spiro is the irre- pressible, ubiquitous, indefatigable and in domitable agent of Herring's fire-proof, bur glar-proof, double-struck-in-the- weaving,. I Salamander safes. It has not been definite- ly ascertained what interest h& represented It was suggested that he came as the ac credited agent of the impecunious Roths childs; but we think' Spiro was running " on his own hook," and that he had forty thous and scads in his pocket to make the cash payment; and, if he didn't, that somebody else had it In one of the many safes Spiro has sold within the past twelve months. "How much am I offered?" cries the auctioneer in a voice of subdued thunder. ! Piv hundred thousand dollars," re sponded Matthews of the plethoric purse. " Six hundred thousand dollars "winked the "man from the mountains." . . " Seving hundred thousand dollars," said the unquenchable vender of F. P. Safes. And Spiro threw himself back withthe air of a "bloated bondholder." Eight ; hundred thousand," added Mr, Matthews. .V . , T ; And so it went, . until ; the Buncombe barrister had climbed up to the round httle sum of ten hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 7 Then it was that Matthews came back with a 'sockdologer" about the. size of eleven hundred thousand dollars. Spiro said; one rmillioni of dollars was . all the money he had about him," and moreover he didn't care to invest more than that sum in any one branch, of business he therefore declined to raise his bid, ; but . If anybody wanted to buy .a -Herring Safe he would "open, a game".for 'a short -time.- - u Calvialelt In Ms pockets,- and he. said Matthews had oversized his pile; his " kew pons"' wasn't big enough to cover 'the, last bid; so' 'Calvin's eyes gradually enlarged until they reached the . dimensions of the largest known brand . of saucers and be " hove" a heavy sigh for his . home " over the Ridge." After attending the minstrel performance last evening Calvin took the 10:45 trainfor a colder climated i " . ; So eleven hundred thousand dollars was the highest bid, and the property was .knocked down .to '.Ed ward. Matthews, Trustee for the bondholders. : . . " . , And now for Charlotte I " RAILROAD ACCIDENT. An Engine Buns Off the Trash The . Engine and Six Loaded Freight Cars Destroyed by Fire One Blan ; Severely Injured. ' ; On Wednesday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, a - serious accident happened to a local freight train coming North on the Wilming ton, Columbia' and Augusta Railroad, re suiting in the loss by fire of the engine and six freight cars. The accident happened at a point about one mile this ' side of Jones-' boro, or 38 miles from the city, and was caused in this wise:. The woods all along the line of the road was' on - fire, in many places burning close up. to the track. At the point above alluded to the smoke was very dense, preventing the engineer from see ing that anything was the matter with the track, and consequently he . thought there was no more danger at that particular' place than at other points he had passed, where the fire was in close proximity to the track. In fact, his train had passed the local freight going South about an hour be fore and nothing was said of danger along the line it bad passed over. It seems, how ever, that the heat from the immense fire which was raging' so close at 7 hand had warped and twisted the iron, , at the spot alluded to. The train sped along its course until the fatal spot , was reached, when suddenly . the engine waV thrown from the track and the cars - came to a stand-still almost in the midst of.a lake of fire. The engineer, Mr. ' James1 Exum, narrowly escaped with his life, having been wedged up against the side of the tender by the wood falling against him. He finally extricated himself, however, and beat a hasty retreat to a place of safety, having sustained several bruises about the body and head, and being also slightly scalded. The fireman escaped without injury, but the wood-passer, a colored man bv the name of Ludd Johnson, who hails from Timmonsville, S. C, was not so fortunate. He sustained a compound fracture of one of his arkles, which, if amputation does not become necessary, will probably render him a cripple for life. . f - '. The car next to the engine was loaded with lumber, two others were loaded with empty bottles and the remainder of the six with cotton, navel stores, &c, all through freight The flames quickly communicated with the engine and cars and they were completely - destroyed, together with the freight which the latter contained. . For tunately a material train happened to be close at hand, the engine of which was backed up to the burning train and thus some eleven or twelve of the cars were haul ed out of danger and saved. The engine des troyed is said to have ; been a very . fine one, pronounced ' by some the ' best on the road, and : , costing.' not than $15,000 or $16,000. The entire loss sustained - through.: this unfortu nate accident cannot be less than $20,000. In consequence of this accident the train due here at 1025 Wednesday 'night did not arrive until 3:15 yesterday morning; but the track, about two-hundred yards of which had been injured by the fire, was soon put in order. - - -; mtueh Ado About Nothing, , Noticing, a big excitement at the corner of Second and Market streets yesterday af ternoon we hastened in the interest - of our readers to ascertain the cause. ' Arrivirig upon the ground, where something near a hundred people of both races had gathered, we .found that the excitement was caiised by the fact that a colored man, In attempt ing to draw a hankerchief from his pocket, had unintentionally brought with it a revolv er, which dropped on the pavement and ex ploded Nobody was hurt, but several were badly scared. ; 7 7 , , ; v ; Death and Burial of a Seaman.

The Alleged- Cause : of We learn from parties who, arrived b.ere yesterday on the, Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta road that fires are raging nearly all along the line of that iwayTfrom 3 miles beyond Fair .Bluff to -Ftemington. Forests have been swept, fences and wood destroyed, and in some . instances, it . is reported, houses have been burned. - Many of the poorer class, who were getting ready for their crops,, have suffered severely and will be thrown back materially in this res pect One widow lady - is ' instanced who had just got a new. fence around her farm . and.- was getting . ready to plant when the: flames came f and consumed her fence, and her house narrowly escaped the same fate.. Great destruction is report ed among the turpentine farms and the loss to this branch"' of industry will no doubt be very heavy. - The fire is said to extend for twenty miles - back in the conn try in some places and is reported to be rapidly approaching the line of the Char lotte road. '.: 5 '';" " 'K :'i ' The' cause assigned for this destructive conflagration is that on Monday a passen ger locomotive lost its smoke stack and ran all the way from Grice's station to Flem ington in that condition,' belching . forth showers of., sparks and : cinders. " It being, dry and windy these sparks and cinders communicated with the woods and the work of devastation commenced. We learn that the sufferers by the fire are very indignant, and many of them, some of whom are among the most prominent citi zens along the line of the road, are talking very seriously of bringing suit against the Railroad Company to recover damages for the heavy losses they have sustained. . The fire is still raging with .unabated fury and now covers an area along the line of the road of about 25 or. 30 miles, with now and then a narrow strip of woodland which has thus far escaped the devastating element " Ijoeal Dots. -. ; .
