The Spring Term of Halifax Superior Court was held last week. There were several very important Land suits, and one Criminal Case. Reiney -Harrald was tried for the murder of William Hines, The evidence not being sufficient to convict her of murder, the Jurv returned a verdict of - manslaughter, and she was branded. Judge Pearson, we understand, presi ded during the Court, in a manner that won for him the esteem of all present. His Charge to the Jury is said to have been plain and able his manners modest and unassuming. -Boanoke Advocate, Crmven Superior Court. When our paper of last week issued, the Court was en gaged in the trial of "George, a slave, for the murder of Foster, another slave." The principal witness was Eliza Banks, a woman of color, who swore that she and the deceased were sitting in her mother's house, on the evening when the murder wals committed, Foster asleep in the chair, when the prisoner entered, looked around, stepped back to the door , lifted a short bed post that stoodoutside, returned, and with- out uttering a word, inflicted the blows therewith which caused the death of Foster. Witness caught the prisoner, and asked him what he intended to do; he replied, "to kill him and you too." He then attempted to strike witness ; she screamed, and Julia Lewis came "to her assistance, when the prisoner was forced from the house by their joint efforts. This is the substance of the evidence on the part of the State. The counsel for the prisoner produced a witness to prove a scuffle previous to the infliction of the fatal blows ; they admitted the homicide by George, but contended that Eliza Banks had witheld some material facts, ami they in troduced witnesses to prove that she is a woman of infamous character. After alucid charge from Judge Sanders the Jury retired, on Friday afternoon, and on Sunday morning they returned their verdict, finding the prisoner guilty of man slaughter. On Monday morning sentence was pronounced, the prisoner branded, and re-conducted to prison, where Jie will re main for six months.

Wo nnrlArAtanrl that Mr. STANLY, the Re-M presentative in Congress from the Tarboro District in this Slate, made a Speech, a few days since, agamst Uhe proceedings qf the tkielling pommittewhichis hignly spoken of. When i't appears, we shalljrepublish it, but, in the mean time, copy from the -Aivmlrm n7.pttfi" the 10iiowm ac- count of a passage at arms between Mr. S. and Mr. Toucey, Chairman of the Com mittee : "In the course pf a spirited, speech a gainst the proceedings of the Duel Com mittee, Stanly alluded to the inflamatory ap peals and.sepulchtal tones of the Chairman, and also noticed in a manner which did him honor, some uncourteous and disrespectful allusions of Toucey to John Quincy Adams. The Ex-President was evidently affected by the graceful arid animated, reference made to him, and the .members generally were gratified at itl Not so Mr. Toucey, however. He rose, and. mounting his high horse, undertook to lecture Stanly for vol unteering to interfere between him and the gentleman from Massachusetts ! and talked of his raising his puny voice, &c . Toucey "woke up the wrong passen ger," when he affected to treat in this con temptuous manner the spirited member from the old Kip Van Winkle fctate. His rejoinder to the Connecticut "switchel plea der" was most pointed, pungent and ef fective. ' He denied that he had interfered between the gentleman Irom Mass., and the modest .Chairman, who, no doubt, deems himself a match for John Ouincv Adams. He had no doubt, that the Chairman would be great lv reioiced if lie could exhibit himself to the country in the attitude of engaging in direct conflict with that member; for, throughout the whole of this mischievous proceeding, he seemed to be seekuisr noto- t riety greedily. He did say, and how re peated, that the remark of the member from Connecticut, m reply to the gentleman from Massachusetts, aroused in his bosom feel ings ot deep indignation, the arguments of Mr. Adams had been not only answered unfairly, but shamefully perverted. Toucey had alluded in an offensive man ner, to wF;at he was pleased to call the "better days" of Mr. Adams. "I ask" said Mr. Stanly, "what does he mean bv that phrase ? Does he mean the time when he had patronage and office to bestow? These a man's better days, in the estimation of ms the Chairman ! Or, does he mean that, the days, when his physical powers were the highest perfection, are gone, and that his intellectual powers also are now de- cayed ? If so the allusion was uncivil and unfeeling. The gentleman from Mass., and "II . ? 1 " W i- .1 V mysen, continued Mr. otaniy, Hitler on some subjects toto ccelo; but I could not but feel indignant at hearing the Chairman speak as he did of a man whose ap-e, whose loner public services, whose vast acquirements, and boundless information, all entitle him to respect. His intellect, sir, seems to grow Stronger with age. "Sir, I leave the Chair man in the hands of the gentleman- from Massachusetts ; and as we say to culprits, in our part of the country, "May the Lord have mercy on him ! MR, CLAY ABOLITION. There seems to be a studied and deep laid design, on the part of certain presses, to connect the safety of the South in rela tion to slavery, with the Administration party, and to indiscriminately brand every one,, no matter how patriotic and well-tried as a public servant, as a co-worker with the Abolitionists, who may happen to be only unjugt) but it is far from b ol an opposite political faith. ' 'his e nnt otic - or indicative of a proper . devotion to the Union of the States. For whatever insinuates and fails to prove, must be re garded as unjust; and we had presumed that a division of parties on the slave ques tion' should be the last resort or, at least if forced upon us of the South, we, of every party, should be the last to stir lip and f J r ... r fo nant with civil strife and discord. But this has been done, not openly -for .the agita tors of such a fearful subject must needs work under cover. But more particularly have the injustice and party spirit of certain editors and poli- ncians aeveiopea tnemseives m reiaumi to the position now occupied by that most dis- tingruished and illustrious statesman Henry Clay. .Justice to their own peculiar polit ical sagacity demands of us the admission that they have, ere this, very adroitly re connoitered the field of the next Presiden tial contest; thev have, ere this, determin ed who shall be lauded and who'anathema- i n "t.

T 1 the country; and hence,. upon him is now poured out the "seven vials"- full of demo cratic wrath. But with what do these very pure demo crats chaTgeMr. Clay? That lie once voted to guarantee'to free negroes the right of suffrage ? No. That he voted to instruct a Senator to oppose the admission of a State, because that State held slaves ? 0h no! That he fawned at the feet of, and declared the perfection of supreme glory to consist in "serving tinder a chief!" No ! That he admits the right of Congress to abolish slavery in the District? No not exactly; u'i is even uie oaiumore no hi ay a kn : 1 a1. t 1 . minee ; but were it not for this fact would he not be held up as the vilest Abolitionist? ven it is that there are some stern facts which stand out boldly to rebuke their ar- rogance and political deception ! They are content mat tnese tacts should be forgotten, outtney nave not torgotten, nor will they for get the artifices by which they attempt as well to tarnish public virtue as to cover these facts. It is no w the purpose of these demo crats to identify Mr. Clay "with the aboli- tionists.'as th&ir candidate j and: upon what do: they rely -to substantiate' this grave charge t , That he is su pported by ' the Northern people. A forcible reason truly 1 We regard this rather as an index or ms comprehensive patriotism of his devotion ., " . r 1 If " to ine interests oi every secupu ,w,c Union ; upon the ground that he is support ed by the North, and upon no Other lor thev can scarcely expect to find in the adr juster of the Missouri question- the pacifi- cator oi tue iuiiincauon siorm mc uwuci of slaves, himself the resident of a slave State, one unfriendly to the Union, or dis posed to countenance, much less to favor, their unhallowed design. But they insist that the abolition Whigs, and abolition Democrats are ranging them selves under his banner-r their democratic brethren are leaving the Van Bureh for the Clay ranks. How have they attempt ed to prove this ? ' By mere assertion. Will they take the evidence of the abolitionists themselves, as to whom they will support, Clay cr Van Buren ? Ve are sure the people will. The Emancipator, theaboli- tion offfan. advertinff to some remarKs oi the "Standard" of this City, says : "The North Carolina Standard insists that "the abolitionists have identified them selves with the party in opposition to the Administration." This is a mistake ; many abolitionists are firm supporters of the Ad ministration." Here we. have it in plain English, from the abolition Organ, that the Standard is mistaken in stating that "the abolitionists have identified themselves with the party in i opposition to the administration." Which is to be believed ? Is it to be pre sumed that the Emancipator knows less than does the Standard about who are its own frierrds who ape abolitionists and who are not ? " We hope the Southern people will not fail to see through these flimsy artifices we will not say arguments., for they deserve not the name. For our word for it, the battle is yet to be lought, with argument (it may be with steel) between patriotism and mad fanaticism. It becomes the South, then, to range her chivalry under a leader whose talents, tried patriotism, and politi cal sagacity and energv give the assurance of triumph at least, of justice. With such a leader -one who has proved himself alike the friend and pacificator of every section, the South may hope. With one who is unable to bring nerve, energy, patriotism and principle into the dark storm which is now lowering over her, she has every thing to dread. Star. Plain Triitlis. The attempt to connect the safety of the South in relation to Slavery, with the sup port of the Administration party, is so su premely ridiculous, so much in violence of recorded facts, that we woulil hardly notice the attempt at all, did we not deem the sub ject so important in its character, that no effort to mislead the people in regard to it, however absurd, ought to be left unexposed. In dealing with such matters, it is our cus tom to give facts of iecord, whenever they can be obtained, as the safest foundation for the people upon which to build their opin ions. The ground assumed by those who desire to .mislead the public mind on this point, is, that the mends ot Mr. Van Buren are the special friends of the South on the subject of our domestic relations. Now we ask, who has been considered, in the Senate of the United States, during the present session, by way of distinction, the champion of thev Abolitionists ? Who introduced before that body, the most incen diary matter ever presented to it ? We an swer, Mr. Morris, the Senator of Ohio, one of the warmest partizans of Mr. Van Buren, and who was but a week or two ago, com plimented in the most flattering terms of eu logy, by the Administration press at Wash ington, the Globe. The last we hear of this flattered partizan of the Administration, was his calling up his resolution in the Sen ate, " to instruct the Committee on the Ju " diciary to enquire, whether the present " laws against the slave trade, were not ap " plicable to the trade in slaves carried on " between two States." Upon the motion to lay this most inflamatory resolution on the tabled the yeas and nays were called, and 22 were found opposed to it, while Mr. Mor ris had only 8 to back him. Thus it seems, if we are to judge by facts, at least some of the warmest supporters of Mr. Van Buren are disposed to show their friendship for our special institutions, by de claring that to sell negroes to the citizens of another State is a violation of the laws re gulating the slave trade, dnd of course is'm- racy by law. J his is line Inendship. While on this point we will add a few other items for the consideration of the can did enquirer. The Ohio Statesman remarks, that 'it is understood to be the intention pf the Abolitionists of that State, to bring out a candidate of their own for Governor at the next election :not being disposed to support Gov. Vance, the Whig; candidate, for that office. The Ohio State Journal seems to acquiesce in this view of the matterand adds, that the Abolitionists will probably make choice of Mr. Thomas Morris, this same zealous Van Buren Senator in Congress from Ohio, as their candidate for Governor -another precious instance of the anti-abolition feelings of the friends of Mr. Van Bu ren. Let facts "speak for themselves, and the truth will be readily discovered. Milledgeyille Recorder FRANCE AND MEXICO. We regret to learn, from the Government paper, that the French Government has in stituted a blockado of the const nfMrr. and has given an official notice of it to this government. - We regret it, particularly, auoC ,t rdl5es a possibility of collision ivveca our vessels and the cruizers of r ranee, Tvhich may attempt to enforce a sweeping paper blockade, such as any mere --.nu.nun ui uiuutt.aue oi so extensive a coast as that of Mexico must be. Nat. Int. Obscqu&cs of the Dead. On i Saturday afternoon, April 28, the mournful duty of committing to the grave nineteen of the sufferers in the destruction of the Moselle, was per formed in this city, associated with a solemp funeral service, up on account of all the suflerers. As the calamity was peculiar and trans- cendant in it? horrors, so were the funeral obsequies solemn and imposing beyond any thing that has ever taken place in this city. At three o'clock, upon the first toll of the bell, every place of business was closed. It is believed there was no exception. Ap parently "the "whole city was a moving mass to the foot oi Broad yay, where the proces- v .mi . ' 11. i sion was lorming. i nis was accompusnea according to previous regulations. The de ceased, inclosed in proper coffins, were placed in the hearses of the city, which not being sufficient to convey them, the neces sary number of carriages were added. When the procession was prepared to move, Broad way "to Fourth Street, and the contiguous approaches of the intersecting streets were literally choked with one crowded jam of human beings. Among all" these, no wxrd was spoken, no look of levity was indulged. The universal feeling w as too deep for any such sensation to be felt. The progress of the procession, so vast in numbers, so solemn in manner, made every where on its line of movement the deepest impression. Sad and sorrowful faces, hun dreds of them bedewed with tears,' crowded to windows, doors, and all places of obser vation. The interment took place in the public burial' ground, and at this last act of respect aiwl kindness, that can be performed by the living, for the dead, some most touching scenes occurred. Those to be deposited in their last earthly rest were all strangers ; some of them were members of the same family and in one or two instances surviv ing relatives were present. One mother, a German, whose husband is among the lost, cast herself upon the coffin of her only two children, in agonies seldom witnessed. But we must omit a detail of those scenes. The impressive funeral service of the E piscopal church was read by the Rev. Mr. Brooks, and a brief, but most pertinent and affecting address made, by the Rev'd. Mr. Seiion, of the Methodist Episcopal church. Our narration here ends, and we presume not to break its effects with any reflections. A host of the citizens of the towns of Newport and Covington, and of the sur rounding country, joined in the procession. It is estimated that more than twenty thou sand p6rsons M'ere present. The Committee appointed to make inqui ries into the number lost in the Moselle, furnish the following statement : As nearly as can be ascertained, there were on board, at the time of the explosion, Two Hundred and Fifty-five persons. Of this number, 58 are dead, 56 16 108 missing, wounded, saved. 238 Besides these, several were known to be on board who were not registered. Cincinnati Gazette. VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. In the commencement of the contest in Patton's -District, there was no expectation of electing Slaughter, the AVhig candidate. It was only after the result in Spotsylvania was known", in which, contrary to all expec tation, the majority was given to Slaughter, that the Whigs of the district began to an ticipate victorv in that district. The news came in better and better, at Fredericksburg, and scarcely left a doubt of Slaughter's elec tion, for several days. The prize so unex pectedly held before them, has, at last, been lost by the supineness of the Whigs of Rappahannock, a Whig county of known strength. Certain of the election of their candidate to the House of Delegates, and equally certain in their own minds of the election of Banks to Congress, from this strong administration district, the Whigs of Rappahannock did not turn out in any thing like their usual strength, and thus lost the Congressional election. They might and could have given a majority greater by near 100 than they did and would have done so, no doubt, had they thought it would have availed. Yet Banks, it appears, has succeeded by a majority of 9 votes ! Here is warning to the Whigs, against a practice sometimes too prevalent with them, of under-rating the importance of a vote. Let them profit by it hereafter. It may be well to add. that the district which now claims to have elected the most popular Van Buren man in it to Congress, by a majority of 9 votes gave at the elec toral election, 18 months ago, a Van Buren majority of 535 ! The march is onward. Baltimore Patriot. CONGRESS. To allow of carpets being taken up, and other preparation of their Hall for serious work in the approaching warm weather, the House of Representatives, soon after meet ing on Thursday last, adjourned over to Monday. Some persons are ill-natured e nough to. say that the vicinity of the race course to the city had its influence in this ad journment; and it is said also" that some members were tired of listening to eight or m,uu uuuHi uueinnff reports, ana so voted for the adjournment, in the hope, wnen the House re-assembles for business, that the reports referred to will be laid on the table, there to remain. ' Against thk course, however, the reader will have seen that Mr. Wise most earnestly protested. The Senate, having nothing to do that they were in a hurry to pass upon, follow ed the example of the H. of Representatives, and adjourned over also. ,reiiner tiouse ot uongress, ol course, sat yesterday, or will sit to-day. Nat. Int. May 5. Melancholy Incidents. J Clarksville, (Tenn.) April 10. Melancholy Tragedy. -On Friday last, 4- Mr. A J Uuarles; living some5 ten or it teen miles to : the. northwest bt this place, was shot "dead in his own house. The cir cumstances attending this melancholy dis aster, according to the most authentic re ports, are briefly as follows.: Mr. Quarles had , just - returned from a turkey hunt, and laid,. his gun on the bed in Ihe room where his" wife was engaged in some ordinary domestic employment. Soon after, Mrs. Quarles took up the gun with a view of removing it to another part of the room, when it accidentally went off. The ball took effect in the side of Mr. Quarles's head and piercing it through,, caused his immediate death. These circumstances, we are informed, are detailed upon the au thority of Mrs. Quarles, who was the only person in the room, with the exception of a couple of very small children. , A young man at work in the adjoining room, enter ed immediately at the report of the gun, and found Mrs. Quarles lamenting over the body of her husband. k . . i it iv coroner s inquest was neia as soon as possible and decided that "Mr. Quarles was accidentally shot by his wife.' Chronicle. Louisville, April 17. There was, we understand, a hi piece of work at Smithfield, in this State, on Friday last. A gentleman from that place relates the circumstance to us, as follows : A Physician, boarding at a tavern in the town, offered an insult to the land lady, in the absence of her husband, and she ordered, him, in consequence of it, to leave the house immediately. He refused to go, and the bar-keeper, with a view to enforce the order, followed him to his room. The Physician, after entering his room, drew a pistol, and threatened the barrkeeper with instant death if he approach ed. The bar-keeper, nevertheless, con tinuing to advance, the. physician shot him through the-hody. Whereupon, the former drew a Bowie knife, and laid his antagonist dead upon the spot. The physician died scarcely with a struggle, and the bar-keeper breathed his last shortly afterwards. Journal. Nashville, April 16. "We learn from S. B. passengers from Smithfield, that a most dreaful and fatal af fray took place at Gower's tavern, in that place, on Wednesday night last. Dr. C. A. Brown, an old resident of Smithneld, being inebriated at the supper table, the landlady requested another boarder, by the name of Clark, to assist him to his room. On hearing this, Brown commenced abus ing Mrs. Gower, and Clark, thereupon, forced him to his room, on wnich, B. drew a pistol and shot C. through the body, im mediately below the ribs. C. then plunged a dirk into the heart of B. and left him a lifeless corpse upon the floor. Clark was still alive at the last accounts, though with but little hope of recovery. Whig. Maysvile, (Ky.) April. 18. Distressing Occurrence. One of the most heart-rending incidents of which we ever remember to have heard, happened, on Friday evening last, at the residence of Thomas J. Pickett, Esq. of this eounty. TT- .1 1 nis motner-in-iaw, Mrs. Campbell, an aged and very infirm lady, was sitting in her room alone, when, by some means un known, her dress caught fire and was in flames before any one could reach her. M iss Campbell, her daughter, was the first to come to her relief. She was. un fortunately, dressed in a light gown of cotton fabric, and, in her efforts to assits her mother, the daughter herself became enveloped in a sheet o? flame. Mrs. Pick ett and young Mr. Campbell heard tfieir screams of ao-onv. and hastened to the scene of suffering. They succeeded in extinguishing the fire, but not till both the mother and daughter had been shock ingly burnt. Every effort thai sliill,. affec tion, and sympathy could exert,, was re sorted to, but in vain. The sufferers sur vived but a a few hours. This dreadful calamity is rendered, if possible, more poignant and touching, from the circumstance that the deceased ladies were on their way. to Wisconsin, -and had, on that very day, taken their last leave of most of their friends and relatives, who had paid them a parting visit. Eagle. Louisvillle, April 21. Many of our fellow-citizens may remem ber Mons. Sciarri, a French juggler, who was here a few Weeks ago with a beautiful little daughter about nine years of age, who, under his direction, was in the habit of walking on ropes to the tops of houses. That little girl, we are grieved to learn, fell from the rope in orie of her late ascensions at Wheeling, and was instantly killed. The infamous old brute of a father deserves to be hanged. Journal. The Frederick Times, a Van .Bmeri pa per, thus speaks of the acts of the Adminis tration : We give to-day the returns of the special election in Baltimore for member ofCongress to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. McKim.
