" ' i - - ' - ' ' - : . Execution. Joseph Sollis, who was con- it i vu m. me last ierm or the superior Court for Duplin County, of the murder of Abraham Kornegay, underwent the sen tence of the law on Friday, the 27th ult. The subjoined account ha? jt-n communi cated to us, with u request that it may be published : An immense crbwd of people assembled to witness a fellow creature launched into eternity. This is a sight the Very contemplation of; which requires more than masculine fortitude ; I was therefore surprised to see a largje portion of the spectators females. I have been heretofore in fa vor of public executions; I thought they did much good, by exhibiting to public view the fa tal consequences of guilt. Hut from what I have seen here, at the execution, ami the subsequent yv.iw.bfc u nn. biuwu in nir evening, i am sansn ed tin )' have a contrary effect. No doubt exists on my wind, that the end intended t by a public, would be better answered by a private execution. Atter the clerical gentlemen I had done what they conceived to be their dutyj the Sheriff told the criminal that he had but a few moments to live, and that if he had any thing to say to his friends or the public, now was the time. He ob- Lserved, in a strong tone of voice, that he had nothing to say more, than he would not be in this fix but for Kornegay.V He was admonished by a humane gentleman present, not to die with malice in his breast ; to which he replied, " Kor negay was in fiuilt, he began the affray, he was to blame for all." He then with a firm step mountt-d the scaffold ; the sheriff tied the rope, pulled the cap over his eyes, and cut away-, the scaffold. From the want of proper caution in tying the rope the feet, of the criminal came to the srroiind &. broke the fall. He remained in this position (partly -lianging and partly standing) groaning -in Uie greatest apparent agony, ' for about seven minutes. ! All was now in confusion the crowd murmuring, and nothing doing. The sheriff himself appeared completely unman ned, and incapable of making any exertion to put the unfortunate man out of pain. At lenfrth a gentleman present, took up a piece of plank, pushed back the rope and suspended him in this position about fifteen minutes. A medical gen tleman present observed "he ws coming. to life." On hearing this, the sheriff had hira taken up and pitched off the scaffold again, and ended ms sunerings. l Upon the examination of a lad at Bait i- more, a few days sinceupori a charge of setting fife . to a lumber yard, it appeared that he was induced to perpetrate the act loathe purpose of getting liquor which usu ally accompanies the engines; when called into service. - : The followinz statement exemnlifies how near perfection the enterprize of our citi zens has brought internal navigation.

Much time was consumed in forming a jury, the prisoner exercising his fight of challenge,! in numerous intances. The prosecution was cohdticted by the Solici tor for 'the. State and Will iam B.

The le?al duration of the Court being on the eve of terminating, by the lapse of time, his Hon or the Judge, discharged the Jury ; and re manded the prisoner to jail, to await his trial, at the next term. Several State ca ses of minor importance, were disposed of. Very little business was done on the Equity side of the Court. We did not attend to Court, but we are informed that the demeanour of Judge .Martin' was such, as to give general satisfaction. ! Itecorder. 'Manslaughter. A curious trial came on at the last Columbia circuit court. Capf. Moore, of the steamboat Olive-Branch was indicted for manslaughter. A Mr. Dickie, while the hands were lowering the boat to take him ashore, was thoughtless enough to jump in and capsise her. and he was drowned. They might just as fell have indicted the man that built the boat or the farmer who grew the hemp for the tackle as Capt. Moore. Of course he was acquit ted.

A proof sheet from the office, of the Mer cantile Advertiser, contains the following intelligence from South America : - i New Fbrkf Mondaif, Jlpril SO. -r A Bogota paper of the 18th of Februa ry, (received by the Athenian) contain an official letter from Christoval Armeno, the Colunibian Envoy in Peril, to his Govern ment, detailing the insurrectionary move ments of the Columbian troops in Lima, the substance of which is, that the superi or officers left in command by Bolivar, had been removed and sent home. The troops had renewed their oath of fidelity to the old Constitution, and had retired from Lima to a neighboring town, to wait the directions of their Government. A revo lution in the Government of Peru, in the same spirit, had taken place ; new officers, appointed provisionally, were managing the Government, until the meeting of the Congress, and every thing was tranquil. The letter is dated at Lima, 28th January. Mexico. We are favored with papers from Mexico City to the 1st of this month, brought by the Eliza. It appears that a revolt broke out about, the 10th of M;rc!f at Durango, the capital of the State of that name, instigated, it wa said by a Priest named Arenas, whose emissaries had ser duced the troops to unite in a project for obtaining certain reforms. , The troops had gone so far as to arrest the Governor of the State, and to dissolve the local Legis lature, but it floes not appear that any blood had been shd. Placards had been posted, calling for the son of I turbid e to govern the country. The General Gov ernment was adopting; measures for.the suppression of this insurrection, which did not appear to excite much alarm. . The Generals of Division, Negrete and Etha vari i, (Spaniards) suspected of being, a bettors of the revolutionary project, had been arrested and committed to prison. ' ! The Mexican House of Representatives had approved of the Treaty recently con cluded with England, and it would be confirmed by the Senate. , T From Carthagena. Captain Shipman, of the Athenian, arrived at New York, who left Carthagena on 4th inst. states that the country was considered in rather an unsettled state.' r The British residents had sent a requisition to the Admiral ;.at Jamaica, for a vessel Mof, war. to .be, seqt down for the protection of tliei r. property. The apprehensions arose more immediate ly from the troops being sometime withou t rations," than from the dissensions ,exi sting amon? ths chiefs. ' . - . .

A few days since the U. S. frigate Constellation, and schooner shark, made their appearance off tliis port.

The systematic method in which the affairs of this denomination are' managed, and the union, and concert a niong its preachers, give them an influence in the community much beyond what, is possessed by any other denomination, in proportion to their numbers and pecuniary means. Their, newspapers are more ex tensively circulated probably, than th,se of any other denomination, considering the time of their commencing this mode of in struction and influence. The 'Zion's He rald," published in this city, continues to circulate widely.

Extract of a letter from a rentleman travelling in England, dated February 14, 1827 : " The engineer and myself having completed, to our satisfac tion, an investigation of the railways; of this kingdom, he parts from me this May to embark in one of the first packets for New York : Although 1 have been for two months; examining railways, I am in a greater state of admiration' than ever a bout them. As to the phenomena of the Hetton railway, you can scarcely believe them to be true when in the midst of them; it will look to you like lihodomontade to speak of twenty-four empty waggons, weighing more than 30 tons, being forced up a hill, alLthe way by steam, at the rate of eighteen milesan hour and ihisupon a plane a mile and . a half long. I came, down the same plane, standing upon a knee of the hindmost wagon of twenty four loaded ones, weighing all together one hundred -tons' they descend the ; plane by their; own gra.vity at first slow, and with, a sol em n sort of grumbling '$ but when the acceleration gathers to a head, it is as fearful as it is beautiful They are the popular -mode of communication here.
