Luxoir, Calijwi:ll C., May 17. On the 13th, 14th and 15th of May, 18G9, in the Superior Court of Cald well county, North Carolina, before iloQ. A. Mitchell, Ju le, Eli Land. Nimrod Lind and Jamos Lund were tried for ihc murder of Sarah Land, the daughter of Jumcs Land and eia ter of Eli and Nimrod. The follow ing is a euoimary of the evidence ; The Lmd family consisted of James, a man apparently of fifty years of age, his wife, Jane, his eons Eli and Nim rod, aged sixteen and seventeen, his daughters Sarah and Polly, older than the boye, and two children of tender years. They were very poor, living on rented land in a log cabin at the baee of Cox's Knob of the Brushy Mountains, Alexander county, North. Carolina. They were remarkably qui et, peaceable, honest, and industrious people, and were noted foi their kind ly aGVction to one another. The wife and mother, Jane, a woman of very lim ited ."education', but of strong will and fervent passions, bad acquired a con trolling influence over her husband and children, and was in every way the ruler of her family. The religious feelings, always marked, had become intensified by the exercises and mani festations sit a "protracted meeting" held at Dover Church, in their neigh borhood, last August, where, for nine d-iys and nights from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m., preaching was kept up by three ministers, with brief interruption far meals. From attending these meet ings this family, who were, with the exception of the two little children, all church, members went home more than ever interested in devotional subjects. Ineir daily work in field and house was little by little neglected and laid aside ; they began a series of home meetings, in which Jane and Sally were the exhorters, and which every member of the family took part in. inuring tne progress ot thesemeetings the mother and Sally began to see vi sions, and the mother to prophesy &ally claimed to be the true God, the arother often saw Polly on the cross, and sometimes herself felt on her head the thorny crown, and felt in her side the spear, as her Saviour had done before her. The mother would some times predict that some dreadful ca lamity was about to overtake the com munity ; she did not know its precise nature, nor its objects, but it was sure ly coming, and coming soon. She of ten would prepare a dinner.- set a ta ble, and wash and put out a suit of clothes for her son John, who had en tered the Confederate army, and had never since been heard from. John was coming home, she would sav. in God's own good way and time, in a mighty draw (seine,) and would brine with him all she, Sally and Polly had Deen sunenng to gam. Sally was to be sacrificed lor the sins of the world -her (death was to ransom the rest of her family. For days and nights to gether they would fast, sing, preach and pray. In these exercises Jane and Sally led off, Polly following, while the father and bis two sons would eith- (SA III V VI t W 11 jfr eit filcntljr l;tnin, or foll&win j Clt ''le women, in J wLen tlt-ir Tocal manwettaHons gate pUcc to tach pljeical ones s !i:icin7t wouM tsarcb m rroccssion and chase away tut It- i rr . i . ...... i . r. t" i ii. ji wo or iuree ecK iciore cauT a , atroy thtra, and that Le r!tl!t Le drir- I' a a .'''.' cn awaj ly jfjjsicil prowc; thej ectR. 141 lh.e coati.ar.d cf Jane, to f rtit-fi out oi ;iie:r cubia nue a Bivarin ! ii the devil ! kill Mai ! kill Kim' !" anJ 1 to run Tj'olentli' abcut the vard. vzr- 'den and liue beating the air hh:ew..xrtl-r lh'suse,.m full ?tew 1 ineir ihty and ehcuting luudly enough i tfi te heard a mile oJT. On Sat'urdaT, j February 20, lSG'J, the v.h.do family ! execntin Sallv were seen in Jynithan j.lK j' 'fit.j.,j pome half mile frota their I. l . ,lrr,. ri.r,i. I tdriir. .h.m.ti.r, tn nil vchr. rinrncl n. bedience to their commands, and were i observed, with their sleeves rolled up Jarne., their handi an ! Ct'ger. in 1 U above their elbows knocking dried mouth, calling out "Lor I h ive rncrcy ! cheetnut burs frcin one to another un-; spit i up !" lie eu! mi t ted "quietly t til their naked hand i an i arms were the rest. That day, too, t bile a viai c..vrri.l with blood. While this was i tor asked -what had bicume of Sullv. going on, Sally was noticed setting a- part her eyes fixed on the sun, whieh, f although near tlic West, was still bnl-1 liant and clouilleBS ; when she wa :'ask - cd "what was going on up yonder, p( int- j ing to tho family she began, with'wild gestureHto reply,"Pre:iching, sir, from 1 leavera King" keeping this up rap idly for some minutes, and then chang ing into some unintelligible jargon. Shortly after this, the same evening, j they were met in a narrow path, by a ' brother of Jame, marching by twos towards home, the mother clasping her husband's arm with both her hands in front next came- Sally and Polly, then the boys, and last the children; their headi were hare, their hair dishevell ed, their dress disordered, their eyes fixed and starting, their faces set stead ily to the front, and their whole look wild and strange. The witness spoke. None answered. He moved a little to one side, still keepiug close to them and adJressing them, but the whole procession filed past him without word or 6i(rn of recognition. Tho witness believed them crazy, and went sever al miles away for Jane's father, an old man named Murphy, who testified that the next day (Sunday) he went to their house, met Eli and Nimrod close by, who were entirely averse to his entering until he prayed "for,'' said they, "It i3 God's house and we arc God's people." G lining an en trance at last, he found that the whole family had fasted for three days, eat ing, as they claimed "hidden manna." His visit was profitless, and he went away. That evening a neighbor and four young women called on them. -Sally was standing by the hearth, hold ing out a gourd of water to Eli ind Nimrod, caliing on them to drink and be cleansed ; that she w as the true and only God. They drank the wa ter, and then Eli seized a pine torch, lit it, and with his shirt drawn out ov er his waist, and his right arm and shoulder bare, held his blazing torch up in the middle of the room ; the rest of the family danced about it, shout ing and clapping their hands, until they put out the torch, when they ex claimed : "We have conquered the devil." Seeming then to notice their visitors forth e first time,they approach ed them shouting. "Here are five more devils, and on the floor we'll lay 'em,' and on the five persons so accosted fleeing affrighted from the house, they followed them into the yard, exclaim ing, "Out of the door they go, and in the yard we'll lay them," and so chas ed them away. That night the moth er and Sally ordered the whole party, except the little ones, to strip naked, themselves setting the example," burn their clothes and shoes, .and go 6ome fifteen or twenty yards to a cold spring, where, with exhortation, prayer and song they washed and were cleansed 3gi?t;. Returning to the house they put on new clothes, but had no more shoes. Nearly all that night, a bit terly cold one, they remained up, en gaged in prayer ; the next day t h ey passed the same way eating nothing from morning until night. At night, while Sally and. her mother discussed some passage in Scripture, a dispute arose, occasioned as the defendants told me, by both claiming to be God. The mother thought Sally was the dev- il, and ordered her son3 and husband to tie her : they did so, and thrust her, w her hands tied together, oat of the door. She attempted to get in ; James seized a bit of board, and tried to push her awav. while the mother unable to hold the door ageinst her, ordered Eli to shoot the devil ; he tired hitting ner in the hand, and then as they descnb ed it afterwards, the devil scrambled off the door-step. coon she was back again, putting her bloody hands in at a hole at the top ol tne door, waen ju was again ordered to shoot, "it seem fid like." said he relating it to some one, "like as if he had got in ho would - t have destroyed us all. l saw nis eyes, as hitr as dinner Dlates." and the mo ther saw him too. "The real big, black bald-headed old devil." Nimrod load ed the rifle with two bullets, gave it to Eli, who said "Father must I shoot ? "If nothing else will do," said he, "you ;cjat sKoot ;' anl fU JJIi, ttl tic Iplaxpd Lian-bt 1Imi :Lenr .' i fi5 blj Itr cutis Je tLe d vr until iavIiLt, tlcn the ujiLt cr Jc rf i lie rest ta cirrv ttic uctu the Ic hear i ana mrn ji. dream.

That day, too, Nimrod being asked wiiy he was. going . barelovted m tlie winter, and what became of his eh up, answered : "Don't tempt me ! I h ive sold them to Peter for the price of two souls."

All that is known of this last is, that Eli, being questioned as to it said, "When I got awake, the was dead." Indictments were found against James and his sons fur the mur der of Sally, and against his sons for the murder of Jane. Owing to the excitement prevailing in Alexander county, th'?ir counsels removed .their trial to Caldwell county. Mmv rned cal men visited them in j ul, and six icard tho trial and testified jis to their of belief that they were ln.ari", two that thev were sane, and one u :m d !ibl- ul.

Preaching and Stealing. About forty years ago, an old nc- iTroe died in Person county who, the negroes said, was murdered, lie that as it may, his iuneral was preacnei week before last in Snatchburg, by Overton, a negroe preacher f poor pretensions, assisted by Kev. Mar in Stuart. They commenced I-ndiy b e f o re holi d a v, an d p r each c tl d ay a i i d all night until the dawning ot day- itrht Monday moring, when evil-doers! l?at love darkness' deemed it unsafe that love darkne to make raids on hog pens and tobac co barns. Though it is thought that Overton a small, duck-legged negroe of 65wiriters would have continued his funeral remarks until now, had not the "kongrashun" cleaned out the neighboring barns, pig pens and hen roots. Overton sustained a scrh.u fall about "de brake ob day, while mounted on a whiskey barrel, and ex claiming with up-hfteu haneh, "ow, my breddnn, you see me, nut you blink ver eyes ane wont se- I11 the barrel gave way er' went down with screams of women and children. Divers hogs and sheep, and several tobacco bains, went up during tne 'exercises.'
