Casw ell CouKTY.-iCaswell before thewar was the wealthiest county in the State according to population, and con- tained wore slaves than any other of its size. It is exclnsivpl a fKo - u luuiitw coun ty and noted for the superior nrta the plant raised. In New Orleans, Mos bile, Galveston, Memphis and other Southern cities, Caswell tobacco has a reputation fully -equal to "Nash" brandy. Caswell was the home and birth place or Hon. Jacob Thompson, a member of i rcsiuent liuchanan's Cabinet. It was also the home of Bartlett Yancey Mar maduke Williams, Bedford Brown, 11: M. Saunders, and a host of other lumi naries that won honor and dkHnntinn in the councils of the State and nation. It is also the home of John Kerr, Samuel-P. Hill, Watt. Withers and others, that have held the very highest. positions in our State Council and whose influence is now being used for the redemption of our State. " yasceyville" is the county seat, and is located' imme diately, in the centre of the county, the court-house beimr two hundred and twenty-five yards from the centre, fixed by actual survey. It has about 800 in habitants, G stores, 2 tobacco ware houses for the sale of leaf tobacco. 3 churches, 2 schools, 1 coach factory, 2 hotels and 8 drinking saloons. The court house is decidedly the handsomest public building in the State (our State capilol not even excepted) and cost more than any three court-houses in the- btate. Its lntermxl arrangements are far superior in style and finish, and the whole buildinji seems to have been planned by a skillful hand, regardless of cost and expense. vVell prcud may the of their peopie of Caswell bo Temple of Justice. THE SUPERIOR COURT commenced for Caswell county its Spring term on Tuesday morning of the last week, A. W. Tourgee, Judge, pre siding: We observed in attendance the following gentlemen of the bar : Hon. John Kerr, Hon. Sam. P. Hill. Col. E, B. Withers, Cot. R. B. Watt, Zf.ch. T. Dickey, Yancey ville. Geo. N. Thompson and Col. John R. Winton, Leasburg, Caswell county. Ex Gov. Graham, Orange couuty; J. A. . Graham, 'J. .'A. Long, Alamance county; .John W. .Norwood, Hillsboro. No representation from Guilford, Rock ingham and Person, which is quite un usual. The first business after the call of the Jury was the CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY. Judge Tourgee, after a few preliminary remarks, tells the Grand Jury that he had received three anonymous letters from parties in this county, askiDg him lO Chm"C ceucciallv ra ccitulu Cllllica said to have been committed ia this county, but he had not regarded them from the lact that they were not signed, and he had no .-respect lor, or confidence in, a man who would write to a Judge in reference to his own duties, when he did not have the manliness and inde pendence to come forward before the Grand Jury and there make known those grievances complained of. In the catalogue of crimes, wherein the charge of the Judge was full, was the one of rape, in which he said to the Graui Jury, ''Gentlemen : I call vout attention to the fact that this crime will come. before yon for investigation, and to be inquired of, and permit me here to express my great gratification at the forbearance of the people of Cds irell, and that the offender was not made the victim of popular ebulition in the administration of natural justice, so heinous was th? offence, and of person al violence, and that he was handed over to the officer of justice to be tried according to law. Several colored jurors being on the petit jury, for the firs, time in the his torv oi the county, the iudge proceeded to charge this body on its general duties. They were especially instructed that the first duty of a juror was to undeistand the charge of the court as to the law, and then decide upon tLe acts in reference to the law, &c. But little business of importance was transacted on Tuesday. On motion of Solicitor Bulla;-the capital trial of Geo. Lea, for the high crime of rape, was set lor Wednesday, at 2 o'clock, aud a special veidre of 100 men ordered to be summoned. Wednesday at 2 o'clock Sheriff Grif fith brought the prisoner to the Bar of the Cout. and being duly arraigned. was put on his TRIAL FOR LIFE. Hon. John Kerr and Solicitor Duua appeared for the prosecution, and Col. Samuel P. Hill audE. B.Withers for the defendant. Aftpr phII'iiio- f,s names, the lury was obtained, sworn and empannelled. Lack of space necessarily prevents a detailed report ot the examination oi witnesses. We shall -therefore coDhne nnrcpir hnVflv to the evidence of the victim, all: ot which was corroborated hn other evidence for the State and not denied or .invalidated by the testimony for the deiendant. MISS ANN KEARSEY, a maiden ;iady, (white) aged 74 years pmaeiated by disease, sunken and .shrivelled bv auc. lived with her sister, .Q;.i.n nrl tiered 76 vears.' on the Milton road leading from Yanceyville. Thpif.wprp verv noor. bat -of - the high nd performed all their household duties without the aid of any one only these two old persons on the plantation. liiM KVarsev testifies that on the eve n i n rr nt March 20th. about an hour and a half before the setting of the sun, she was returning from a smau piece u woods nnriner a snore uisiancu unuuu uv. with a 'bundle of wood in her w Dl f F - - lihjras she first supposed behind her, but soon recognizee! a uoiuitu her front on the spriog path, running -ar,i hr. When he reached her he clasped her tight in his arms, threw her othe ground, drew a razor from his pocket and warnea ner xi uc m noise or resistance he ;w?uld.cut her throat. Alter Accomphsbiog his hellish : i ii J1 RALEIGH. - N. 0.; designs, he ran off by a certain path that led back to the Milton road. She des cribed the diess he had on. and recog nized the prisoner at the Bar as utt7e very same one." A colored woman testified that she saw the prisoner running on the spring path referred to at the time and from the point named. Another witness saw the prisoner with a razor and the same dress described, going in the direction of Miss Kearsey's house on the evenin stated. The evidence introduced by the de fendant's counsel but strengthened that of the State. The argument was opened for the State by Mr. Solicitor Bulla, who briefly summed up the evidence before the jury, and commented upon the enormity oi me ouense as being unparalelled in the history of crime ; he said he was willing, without further remarks to rest the case exactly where it was. Mes3rs. Hill & Withers followed, and we must say made the ablest defense in a hopeless case we ever heard. Hon. John Kerr closed the argument for the State. Comment upon his effort is unnecessary. Our readers well know what might be expected of Jno. Kerr in such a case, ne spoke for nearly an hour. The charge of the Judge was brief and to the point, stating that the duty of the Court was light, as the able coun sel on both sides had so well elucidated the entire matter: He would therefore charge them only upon what consti tuted the crme of rape, and what Changes recent decisions of the Supreme Court had given it. The case was given to the jury, who retired, and in three and a hall minutes reported they had agreed upon a verdict. Here, much interest was manifested by the densely packed audience, all eager to get a view of the doomed man's countenance as he heard from the fore man's lips, the awful word "guilty." e satin a few feet from, and facing the prisoner. When he was ordered to stand up, he seemed to manifest only a slight interest in what was going on, and when the word "guilty" was pro nouueed, not a muscle in his face changed, and not the slightest impres sion was made upon him that we could disco vei. Thursday morning the prisoner was again brought forward to the bar of. the court, followed by an immense crowd. The Court room -was crowded long before the hour of the opening of the Court, by an anxious audience, eager to hear the sentence of the Judge. Mr. Solicitor Bulla at 9:30 o'clock prayed the judgment of the Court on the prisoner, George Lea. THE SENTENCE OF DEATH was then pronounced by Judge Tourgee "After a fair,- patient and impartial hearing, you have been convicted of the crime with the perpetration of which vou were charged in the indictment. The evidence against you was so strong and conclusive that the able counsel en- uared in your defence could fiuel no grounds upon which to base an hypoth esis of your innocence. the facts in evidence afforded no loop-hole for such a theory. So far as human testimony can be relied on as a guiele tj truth, your guilt is clearly established not merely beyond that reasonable doubt which the law prescribes as the shield ol possible innocence and the safe guard against the imperfections of human ludgment and human testimony but beyond any possible doubt even the most trivial aud visionary. The enormity ol your offence is singu larly great. It would seem as it every conceivable adjunct of horror which the nature of the crime admits had been confined to make its enormity unparal leled. The counsel engaged in your de: fence were overwhelmed with horror anil repugnance The eloquence of the prosecution was paralyzed by the con templation of the crime no eloquence of theirs, no words of any one could fitly portray, much less unduly' color the act which the evidence unmis takably tlisclosed. The grey head, the shrunken features. the bowed form, and trembling -limbs of your victim, a's she told in the quiv- erim; voice of age and with the '-shrink ing .sensibility"... of woman, the intent of your crime, left no room for oratory. Eloquence was dnmb with horror. Fancy paled before the simple recital of fact. It has become my duty, not only in my present position, but in another, to speak the terrible words by wmcu tne law, in vindication ot its power ana for the safety ot society, takes away the life ot a human being, inpre frequently than after all, even to the judicial lot. Yet in all these instances, and they are more than the years , of my life, there has never come under my knowledge an instance, in which the circumstances of the offense go so tar to relieve this sol emn duty of its irksome character. The sentence of the law is about to be passed upon you. From this moment human mercy and forbearance cease. Earth offers you no hope. Let the moments which remain be devoted to preparing for your trial before that Great Judcre whose iustice is inflexible and whose sentence is eternal and whose mercy is boundless if his Son shall be your advocate. It but remains tor me in . the dis charge ot my duty to inquire, what, if anything, y u have to urge why sen fence ot .death should not be passed upon you. You answer nothing. It is then ordered and adjudged that vou. ueorge .uea, ue laeu ukuuc w me common iail of Caswell county whence vou came, and to be there saieiy Kept until Tuesday, the sixth day ot May next. That on said day, between the hours of 12 o'clock midday and nV.lock in the afternoon, you be taken from your place of confinement in said inil to the place of execution therein, J . i.i I 31 U and to be then tna mere uangeu uy mo r,ar.L- until vou are dead.

Poetical , Correspondence. -We find a letter from Raleigh under date of March, the 25th, over the nom de plume of Scio, in the Salisbury Watchman, wiiicn, it read aright according to the proper rhythm, will be found to contain rhyming in prose. We think we recog nize the style as that of a distinguished divine of this city, himself an author of many sweet poems,who was once station ed at Salisbury. We copy the extract on account of its musical flow, and the graceful compliment it pays our Politi cal Editor: "Raleigh, March 25, 1873. Dear Watchman : I will write you a little if oniy I can, in the style of a regular newspaper man ; except that your patience mayhap I will tax, by rhyming a little in giving you lacts ; lor I'm nust heard the lec ture of John G. Saxe ; so the poetry ague comes on in attacks, betraying the lec ture's abidingeffects.on all who attended, regardless ot sex. The audience was large yet very select.

The poems recited were exceed ingly fine, and it was an exceedingly fa vorable sign, that the audience seemed to be much entertained, and honored the speaker with tokens unfeigned. In jus tice and truth ne'ertheless I must state, that the style of the lecturer much did abate, the beauty and force of his excellent verse ; his delivery was bad, still it might have been worse. Il the lines I heard were as good as the rest, then the poems entire must be classed with the best. Well, I started whichever in writing the letter I, chose ; so 1 turn now to record, regard less of rhythm, the thoughts that flit through my mind on other persons and incidents.

A Christian Lecturer in Limbo Further Particulars of the Atlantic Disaster, &c. New York, April 5. W. S. An drews, after delivering a lecture to the Young Mens' Christian Association last night, was arrested and taken to Ludlow street jail, on the charge of contempt of court in retaining some three ' thousand dollars he had been ordered to pay over to a woman in a bankrupt case. Among the passengers saved from the Atlantic are S. W. Vick,North Car olina, and a Frenchman named Simon Camaichs, who had his legs badly frozen. They were in the rigging eight hours. Passengers report that from three to five hundred . passengers in the Atlantic must have perished .within ten minutes after the boat struck the second time. In conversation with a reporter yes terday evening; at Halifax, Captain Williams said he spent most of Thurs day night at Mar3 Hill, and personally examined bodies, but found node of them mudlated, but believed many bodies to have been robbed. He said the Atlantic was sufficiently coaled before leaving Liverpool, if it had not been for three days heavy weather ex perienced. We were out of our position solely on account ot the current which must have had a northerly set, as well as westerly, and he allowed 8 degrees eastward to offset it, believing that to be ample. On Monday he was quite sure of his position, both barom eters agreeing, but the northerly set proved greater than allowed lor. For two or three days preceding he had found the ship set. to the southward and eastward ot her. position. Capt. Williams was in the chart room on the saloon deck, less than 30 feet from the bridge, when the ship struck. All the leads and. lines were in order, but they "had not been used, not deem ing them necessary. He considered officer Metcalf in charge of the deck at the time of the disaster and thoroughly competent lor the duty. The Goodrich Murder. New York, April 5.

The Modocs Still Stout, Saw Francisco, April 5. The Peace Commissioners had a talk with the Modocs, who made the same old speech es. They refuse propositions for their removal, and want to be let alone, and to have the troops sent away. Captain Jack is insolent and overbearing.
