was most handsomely designed and exe

sion. The Hotels were completely throng
ed, and our streets preset ted the appear
ance of Broadway on some sweet May
day. j .
The ceremonies commenced at 11 o'
clock, A. M. At that hour the procession
under the conduct of Col. lyatt of Greens
boro' William Davidson, of Mecklenburg,
Dr. K. P. Harris, of Cabarrus, and Dr.
Hand James, of Salisbury, Marsh alls of
the day, moved from their splendid Hall
in the Court House, through several streets
to the Presbyterian Church. All the seats
appropriated to use of spectators were
completely jammed. Thre were at least
two hundred and thirty larjies present, and
as many or more gentlemen. Including the
Masonic gentlemen, of wblom there were
one hundred :and twentyjfour in the pro
cession, therej could not have been less
than four hundred and ninety, or five hun
dred persons in the Church.
The ceremonies at the Church were opened
by the singing of a beautiful and appropriate
Ode, commencing withlhe following lines :
" All hail the morning
That Bids us rejoice ;
The Temple's completed,
- Exalt high each voice :"
It was performed by the choir with admirable
skill, and we thought it strange that the charm
ing ladies who assisted with their sweet voices,
being the only part of mankind denied the pri
vilege of the ()rd!r, should yet be able to ex-
press, so well, so much of the life, spirit
and soul pf the Ode.
This was followed with Prayer by the Rev.
Thales McDonald ; which was pronounced in
a clear and eloquent toue of voice.
Then came another Ode
" Hail ! mysterious glorious science !
Which to 'discord bids defiance,
Harmony alone reigns here !" &,c.
We know not bow others thought or felt, but
as for us, the songs wero the best part of the
whole proceedings. The sweet warbling tones

virtues which are treasured in the hearts of the
Fraternity, they survive the grave and still exist.

The Banquet.in the evepitrg, was a most brill

possibly. Nothing occurred to mar it, or loin

and, as the story goes, resolved, on pre
venting the marriage, even at the cost of
Linker's life. It was shown, in evidence
against him, that he had threatened to
kill Linker if he continued to visit the
house. A few days before the marriage
was to take place, Linker was killed
shot with a ball through the head whilst
returning from a visit to the bouse of his
intended bride Ithe worthless woman
who had formerly cohabited with Dove.
It was proven that Dove was twice seen
not far from the place of the murder, a
short time jaefore and a short time after
the deed was supposed to have been com
mitted. The first time, in the lock of a
fence ; the second, time, retreating across
the field ; and at both times carrying his
gun. Many other circumstances of more
or less importance were brought out in
the examination, all tending to brand him
as the murderer. But with these we will
not now trouble the reader. Enough has
been told, we trust, to show the causes
out of which the crime sprung, and to
convey some idea of the manner of its
perpetration. Ech one can make his
own reflections on, the case. Yet how vi
vidly the warnings of Solomon are brought
to mind " her feet go down to death ; her
steps take hold on hell." Should not this
awful confirmation of holy writ warn ma
ny a young man betimes to fly for his life ?
Of the condemned prisoner's spiritual
state on the day ohis execution, as also
on a few days previous to that, we do
not feel authorised to express an opin
ion, lie had always denied having any
hand in, or knowledge of, the murder ;
and was swung off with that declaration
upon his lips. It is believed he never final
ly relinquished alHhope of a pardon from
the Governor ; though he repeatedly ex
pressed his willingness to die, to several
them to obtain the means to travel. There
are several mechanics among tbem
mong our citizens.
in Washington correspondence during the last ! VYe lrusl leY w, nntl employment a-
week, we feel authorized to say, that, from the
just and amicable temper of the Spanish Min
ister near this Government, and the prudent ad
vice which il may be presumed lhat he has
given to the younger and probably more im
pulsive Govetnor-General ot Cuba as well
as from the unequivocal language addressed to
him by our Secretary of State, through our Con
sul, Gen. Campbell there is no reason to an
ticipate any harm fo the men who embarked
from lhe island of Contoy, and were captured
by lhe Spanish cruisers, and carried into Ha
vana. These men (though the Creole marau
ders were recruited in part from among ihem)
committed no act of hostility against Cuba, nor
is there any sufficient proof that ihey designed
any, but the contrary; and therefore, though
they had sailed from a foreign port, and not
from the United States, when they were cap
tured, yet being known lo be in part at least
American citizens, it is the duty ot our Govern
ment to extend its protection (e them, and avert
or punish any harm to life or limb.
The Spaniards of Cuba have, il is true, rea
son to feel deeply agrieved. A lawless ban
ditti has landed on their peaceful shores in the
dead of night, burnt their houses, murdered
their people, and escaped by hasty flight to lhe
United States ; and had they captured and ex
ecuted every one of lhe invaders, no one could
have justly complained. But, in their indigna
tion against these visitors of law and humani
ty, the Cabans musl lake care not -to confound
the innocent with the guilty, and bring down
on their own heads the penalty of offended jus-lice.
PAINE'S HYDRO-ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Our Readers have seen in this paper
notices of this newly discovered method
of producing light and heat The follow
ing is extracted from the Baltimore Sun:
' A contract has been made in New
York to light and heat the Astor House by
the apparatus invented by H. M. Paine,
which has been alluded to before in the
public prints. Water is the only element
employed to obtain light, heat and motive
power. It is stated, too, that a company
has been formed in New York Io pur
chase the patent right at some millions of j
dollars, (half a million cash.) and the old ; i
gas companies are about to knock under.
Rather a wonderful story but not more t
wonderful than the invention itself, if it
turns out to be anything like what it is ;
avered of it. Should the averments be I I
realized, the greatest revolution of this
XIX Century is yet to be witnessed."
FASHION AMONG THE FRENCH.
There is no civilized nation with more vani
ty or natural coquetry than the French, and
the ladies would no more think of'wearing a
dress, or a cape or a head dress which was not
becoming to them, than they would think of
taking a December bath in the Seine because
somebody else, was simple enough to do it. At
aJarge ball or soiree, like lhat of the President's
THE PRISONERS AT HAVANA

A Telegraph despatch from New Or

We have received intelligence from

ernment has yielded to the representation
of our Consul, aided by other American
authorities, and, after passing through the
forms of a trial, has liberated the Ameri

Thus is removed all grounds-for appre

FOURTH NATIONAL JUBILEE OF
THE SONS Of TEMPERANCE.
National Division.
The Seventh annual Session of the
Sons of Temperance convened in Boston,
on Tuesday the 1 1 h of June. There was
a very large attend cincp. On lookin

besides West Canada and Nova Scotia.,
From North Carolina we notice the names
Extraordinary Marriage. A Mr. Hopkins,
of Lownds county, Mtss.,aged 56, recently mar
ried a Miss Matthews, aged about 35
Wnat renders this alliance so extraordinary
is, that both parties are so afflicted with lhe
rheumatism, lhal neither has walked a step in
twenty five years, and the bride is unable to
dress or undress herself. The reason assigned
by Mr. Hopkins for marrying Mis3 Matthews
is, " that some two years ago he married a wo
man lhat could wall; and she ran off with a
stage driver; and be wauled a wife that he was
certain couldn'i go off."

In the same paper from which the fore
going is gathered, there is a spirited de
scription of the fourth National Jubilee of
the Sons of Temperance. It was a very
animated Celebration. There were reck-
New Coins. The United States Mint,
at Philadelphia have issued specimens of
the new three cent piece, composed three
fourths silver and one of copper ; also the
new one cent, containing a small propor
tion of silver. The cent weighs 25 grains
and has a circular hole in the centre.
The Spanish coins now in circulation will
be received at the mint atjheir current
value in exchange for the new coins, so
as to induce a rapid and general recoin-;

in place of Mr. Elmore, dee'd. Mr. Barn,

Prospects of the Compromise. The let
ter writers at Washington knock down
and set up the Compromise Bill as they
would a set of ten-pins. To-day, it will
pass the Senate, but fail in the House ;
to morrow, it will pass neither bodv. and
the next day, it will go through both
' like shot out of a shovel." As an evi
dence of the contrariety of opinion exist
ing at Washington, we take extracts from
two letters of the same date, appearing
in the same column of the Baltimore Sun.
One says : ,
Mr. Clay seems also in despair of ob
taining a decision upon the adjustment
bill. He looks jaded, and begins to show
impatience. Two days have been wasted
on the Southern Convention. He was ! in fruitless discussion of amendments. and
half a score of amendments are threat
ened. How. then, are ail the amend
ments to be disposed of by to-morrow
