The counsel for the defence undertook to prove an alibi 1 alleging that the person was in NIlanip- hire on the 26:h and 28. h of July,- a set forth in thi indictment- ' To prove this, they called a Mr. Ames, of Keene, who testified that the pris oner rode with him from Chesterfield tor Keene, Tuesday the 22d day of July last, and that he saw him from that till Monday, the 2ih, and du ring that thne the prisoner boeght a trunk at his storeY The store trunk was in Court ami the witness identified it. T He said the prisoner boar ded at the Eagle Hotel during his stay in Keene. The barkeeper. of the Egle Hotel wa , called, who confirmed this, and. further testified that he sat by the side of.the prisoner, at the table every day from the 22d to tbe 27th of July and that he was constant at. hi meal that he saw him fre quenlly besides, and talked with bin. And both tf these witnesses test itied that on the 26.h of Julv fthe dav on which tbe assault wa made in Med ford they said) they saw the prl sonerat a Caravan exhibition in Keene. A Mr- Ward, a Com-ord and Keene stage driver, was al so called, wbo testified that 011 the morningf he 2tJth of July (i he day on which the assault was committed in Newton) the prisoner registered bis name at the stage office in Keene for Con cord, and that he rode 00 the. leaf with -him all the way from Keene to Concord that day, and he bad milch conversation with him on the road. A Mr S ewarU a : Ti'or in Concord, testified ones now worn bv the "orisoner. ' 'Another wit- nestf wss called, who saw the prisoner about the first of August io Merrimack, on hi way to IX ash- ua. - Several of the '.witnesses were recognized and called by name by the prisoner when ho first saw. them in court. Every .one of the witnesses swore tbev had not tbe ehchtest. doubt that the prisoner at the bar was tbe same man whom thev had seen in New Hampshire aa described by them. 1 Th counsel for the prisoner here reeled their case, havinir Droved an alibu . The District Attor- ney admitted ibe alibi as to the26ih and 23 h of July, but thought the government witnecses were mitakenas to the time that tbe offences were committed on the 19th and 21st of July. ibeine the week before, and took tune to send to Newton and to Medfbrdrto see if the time .could be changed. The attempt was unsuccessful the. time could not be changed the crimes were committed . on the 23ih and 2Stbt as alleged and. tbe prisoner was discharged : This is certainly one of the most remarkable Instancernn record, of the fallibility of human tes timony. The resemblance between tbe real and the supposed offender must be greater thao that between the two sisters in Sue's Wandering Jew or between Adrienne and; the Griaette, who, was made to pass for her in the evening. We often read of such resemblances, but rarely meet with them iti real life. Alluding to a fact which the defence were preparing to prove, vix: that Sher man went to Lowell about the 31st of July." and boarded there a couple of weeks, and then cros sed oyer to Newton where the prisoner was ar. rested, the Courier pronounces it very retnarka ble that a person, so pearly resembling the one wbo had committed the offences a to be immedi ate 'y recognized by all these witnesses should, within a fortnight, come to the identical spot at which they were committed and it would appear still more strange, that the prisoner, if zuilty. snouid have been found there. There probably never was a fact more satisfactorily proved than the innocence of the prisoner. ; ! i ....... . ' " " ; t - ..-. .- . Clirxstille, Va Dec & Mr. F. L.

CAiotwa- For several years, in conseqnence evidently of tbe. un settled state of the money market, and the prover bial prudence of our people, there has been no addition made to the number of cotton manufac tories in North Carolina ' The pecuniary diffi culties, beginning ' in ' 1837 and extending over five years, till 1342,' were too alarming to an, too rUtnOUS IO many, lOJUSUiy cmeprixes requiring larze capital, and supposed to be of doubtful sue cess. JWol a single couon raciory was coiiuueu ced in all that time, we helieve, though some were ., k- i a- .- r's--" 1 ' " " ,' comoleted which had been 1 undertaken ui better times. ..The steady success, however, woicn has attended industry in all its pursuit for the last . . h ' a " " a - hree years, is at length exercuiug a natural in fluence on capital, and inducing it to seek out that channel io which tt can be so profitably and patriotically employed, ,,.yye have just beard of the commencement of tro new Cotton, Factories, one at Christian's Milts, on. the Pee. Dee River, near, Lawrenceville, Montgomery County, by Dr. Montgomery and obefsv-iviy.wi-T'rtiX . We heartily wish these, and all similar estab lishments in the State entire success. But ae catfnot let tbe opportunity pass wHbout reminding those who nave such mvestmenta in contempla tion, of the superior advantages of this town and vicinity,; in the abundance and cheapness of wa ter power, and of living, the - ease with .which the raw material is obtained, the access to the markets of the world, the existence here already of six Factoriesaffirding an importunity at all lttP?f..P5;iM? ratives, the faciluies for procuring assistance in CZBt9 0rtccidenx c W ?
