' ARCHIBALD -DOTE SWORN. Know the country about where , Sykes' body was found; know the Toad from Elias Edwards' house to the boot road., and do not think it prob able that a man could be tracked except in a few places some part of it is sandy, others hard; don't think'mec of horses' could be tracked from the main road to where Sykes' body was found, as the country is very rough and grown up with wire grass and covered with pine straw ; rained on Monday the 10th"of April last at my place, about a mile and a half from where Sykes was murdered, hard enough to put out tracks ; there was a day appointed for preaching on Sunday the 0th of Apjil at tha Pate house, but witness was not present; the Pate house "was on the main road ; persons going to preaching here all have to go the main road pretty much , the preacher in going to church, takes the boat down I to tne mam road to the if ate house ; he always rides horseback ; think McGill was a member of the home guard ; don't know whether McMillan was or not ; it was so reported.

Mayor's Court, ' Friday Before Com- ' missioner Shackelford. The mayor seated himself to a genuine docket to-day, and turned his attention immediately to two unruly gentlemen of color, who sought to rival Savers in his pugilistic encounters. They were pretty tough looking fellows, either appear ing as if fully competent to make an honest living without engaging in such an innocent exhibition of their prowess, and that too, while laboring un der passion. The mayor told them he was not there to find out who was the aggressor, but he was to find out if they had been fighting, and sat isfying his mind about the matter he only asked for $5 from each and told them to depart. This announcement produced about such a change of action and countenance as throwing ice water on a scalded hound. 1 Discharged. Three young men, James Mills, Henry Jenkins and Thomas Piver, the last appear ing quite unwell, were next brought out on a charge of having in possession a lot of iron, and offering the same for sale, not being their proper ty. A statement of one of them was heard in de fence, which was, that it was picked up at Big Island where it had been left by some government employ t?s. , lie did not think it any harm to take it, and advised with some one about it and they saul likewise. The fact being quite probable they were all set at liberty with the remark that iron, wherever it might be laid, did not belong to them and they must hereafter let it alone. The iron was taken and awaits the order of its proper trustee." The next thing to conclude with was the march ing in of the four rogues with Murphy, of the wooden; pedal, at their heads. They had been in the cell since they were caught stealing iron sev eral days ago, and looked as slick and greasy as the tail of a rat just out of a firkin of butter. THE SUSDAY fflORSUO HERALD.

IIOLOEIV , PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR, TO THE People of North Carolina. Theatre. The performance last night at the theatre : was a decided improvement on the night previous. Everything went off with more ease, and, so far as could be judged, the plays give uni versal satisfaction. It would be very unbecom ing to particularize when ail is done so well. In some parts of the first piece, the principal cha racters ; were superbly sustained, and we were glad to 'see4 the house give theiY' approval of the fact by well united applause. It is very questionable- whether the coniedy of Married Life was ever put before the public here and the, parts so well performed. "K ' The dance ; was very neatly and artistically performed, and we regret exceedingly that busi ness prevented our seeing Mr. peers' Solon Shingle!. It is spoken of very flatteringly, how ever, by those who witnessed it. -The company are deserving of congratulation at their success. To-niht ' we are to have Richard III., Miss Charlotte Crampton as Richard and Mr. Davis as King Henry IV. and Richmond, wheli it is hoped thatanj overflowing house will greet them. It is half the success of a performance to play to a full house.
