A colored girl by the name of . Lucy I
White was sentenced to thirty days' con
finement in ' the county jail, yesterday, by
Anthony Howe, J. P., for contempt of his
court ! The contempt consisted in her fail
ure to make her appearance, as she had
been recognized to do, to answer to some
charge against her; and her persistent ef
forts to keep out of the way when ;an offl-
cer was: sent for her. As she was beine-
taken to ; jail the mother of the prisoner
created some excitement on the street, in
tho. vicinity of the jail, by giving loose reins I
to her grief and mortification at ' the (urn
affairs had taken. . ' ' '

In your account of i tle graduates iat
Chapel Hill, I notice hat? you , mention
Johnson Blakely as being , from Chatham
county. In this I think you are. in error,
for he is a Cape Fear boy andi belongs!to
Wilmington.'11 His father emigrated to this
place' from Ireland in 1780, and,' aftex a
short residence here, diedf and was buried
in the old church yard of St. James.' John
son was but five years old at the time of
his father's death; 4He who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb"! watched over tbe
helpless orphan, and raised up a protector
in the person of Edward Jones, himself an
irishman, and possessing all the generous
impulses so characteristic of bis race. Mr.
Jones was no ordinary man; the purity bf '
bis cbaracter and bis commanding talents
gave him great prominence. He repre
sented the borough of Wilmington in the
Legislature from 1788 to 1792 consecutive
ly, when he declined a re-election, and was
chosen by -tbe General Assembly Solicitor
General of the State. Mr. Jones afterwards
moved to Pittsboro, ' Chatham county,
where he died in 1842, I think:
He adopted the orphan Blakely, directed
bis education,' and was as a father unto
him. .He was living in Chatham county at
the time Blakely entered college, and that
Was the reason perhaps that he was assigned
to mat portion oi the State. We of this
section, however, claim Johnson Blakely
as one of our own. The bones of his an
cestors lie buried in our old church yard.
This was his first home in America itNys
here his infant days were passed; hcrehe
lived, until his patron removed into the in
terior of the State. We claim him aa one
of our own, and are proud of the lustre he
has shed upon his State and county, and
we claim also for this, section of the State
a larger portion of that glory which till
surrounds the name of this orphan boy, of
the old ! Cape Fear;
