ved the Speech ot the Hun?irab!e|
* xi. lEilde, upon the Currency. We are
not at this moment prepared to speak of it as it
doubtless deserves---l»ecause we have only given a
hasty glance to its pages-but enough lias been ,
seen to enable us to say, that it is but another proof t
of the indefatigable industry and the clearness and
depth of understanding which belong to cur es
teemed and distinguished Representative. Al
though the subject be a dry one, we shall hereaf
ter make some extracts which will not be uninter
esting to the general reader. No one w ill dispute |
that Mr. Wilde is a sound, accomplished and able j
statesman, and if he do not occupy the floor as of
ten as some others- his speeches wiien made, are
ever such, as to do the highest credit to "himself ,
and honor to the country—they are speeches forpos - j
terity !
The Superior Court of Burke county did not'
adjourn until Tuesday night last; several venerable
and important cases were tried. —AVe understand;
there were Iwo indictments for Larceny from the
House,- and his Honor the Judge was the cause,
of spreading some astonishment both at the Bar
and through the community, when he looked parti-1
cularly into the state of their recognizances, andi
announced “ that if found guilty, the Defendants'
must be hung !” The punishment of the offence
has heretofore been imprisonment in the Peniten
tiary ; how far the act of the late session, in chang.
ing it to death, operates beneficially— let the peo
ple decide. One of the Counsel of the accus-i
ed, upon an application to bail the prisoner from
day to day, stigmatized the law, inflicting capi
tal punishment for such an offence as a bloody one,
to which the Judge replied, “Every one must
feel in his heart thal it is so J”
We hope such a striking example will have at
least, some influence, in bringing us back to the '
Penitentiary system, so unwisely rejected at the
last session of the Legislature.
The other day, we are told, a man by the name
of Lodge, presented himself before the Court with
a complaint against one Strange, who had assaulted
him, and against whom he bad sworn the peace. |
Strange had failed to give security and was a pri
soner —Lodge was brought forward to shew cause
for his further detention. He was a young man
with good features but his nerves unsettled—his
eyes wandering and his manner evincing confusion
of intellect and uneasiness of mind. Strange was
a stout and hale man with a steady dark eye, and
firm both in his countenance and demeanor. The
Attorney General proposed to interrogate the pro
secutor, and asked him “ if he had been assaulted
by the prisoner I” 44 Yes”—said Lodge —“ Me
did assault me—he took me by the throat and chok
ed me and I can prove it by witnesses.”
Attorney Gen.—Do you fear any attempt upon !
your life, from the prisoner ?
Prosecutor. Yes—l am afraid of him—there he (
stands—he has been aginst me for some time. 1
am not afraid of him when other men are by—but i
1 am, when I’m by myself. I’m afraid to go into J
my own house—to eat my own victuals. When he
was confined in the old jail—l was afraid and went
away from my own home, because I thought the (
jail was not strong enough to hold him. I once
laid all day in a tree top and watched him—he was a
looking about my house for me.
Attorney Gen. —Did the prisone;.ever make any
other attack upon you than that you have mention
ed ? I
Prosecutor . Yes--he came to ny house and a- t
[ bused my wife—l did’nt care so much about my
| self, but 1 hated him to abuse my wife. I have not
slept with my wife for many nights. lam afraid of a
him now ! | r
He was cross-examined by the Counsel for the c
prisoner and asked, “ in what business the prison- t
«r had been employed
Pros. Why—in a very bad business indeed !
Coun. Has he not been in your employment as
an overseer ?
Pros. Yes—he was.in my employment and I did a
every thing I could for him i 1 built a house for
him.
• ' 9
Coun. Has the prisoner ever uttered threats a-
| g&ihst you ? f
f Pros. Yes—he came to my house and abused me r
/ when 1 had no body to apprehend me f meaning, *
i defend) but my wife and a little negro girl; but—
Mr. Judge may I say a word to you ? (advancing t
towards the bench.) '
Court. Certainly » say on !
Pros. Well then lam afraid of him—-I cant stay #
at home—l cant eat—l cant sleep with my wife. j

m, who had sustained no j
arunk-attlfra. the prisoner . . ... -1
injury, expressed fears, and shut himself up in a]

Attempts v.ere last night made to set fire to two'
houses at the Eastern end of the city, between nine '
and ten o’clock.
May 12.-- The cotton on the deck of the (
schooner Glide, ready for sea, lying at Mongin's!
wharf, was discovered by the captain to be on
fire, a little after 8 o'clock on Thursday, but was im
mediately extinguished without damage, a fortunate
circumstance, as the wind was blowing a gale from
N, E, It is not known how it occurred, but it is sup
posed to have been accidental, from the fact of the
early hour, there being a number of stores open
within a few yards of the vessel with persons at
their doors ; the mate being engaged writing in the
cabin, and the muon rendering objects as visible
almost as by day-light. Georgian.

Ilow to get rid of a Collector .--A woman in Vest
minster being at a loss what excuse to make to about
the twentieth application for rates by one of the
Collectors of the Chelsea Water Works, at length|
informed him, that her poor husband recently j
died ot the cholera, Sc that she had also been seized
with that dreadful disorder; “but (added she) if!
you'd walk in, i’ll see il l can make up the money.’’
the Collector, however, was almost petrified will;

out of the house much faster than lie entered.
THE C Hint ok EES.
We have conversed with a gentleman
from the Cherokee country, from whom
we learn (says the Macun Telegraph ) that
■ha Agent employed by the Government in
(enrolling the names of emigrants has been
i inure successful than was to have been ex-
I pected—nearly e'tgh hundred have depart
ed foe tlie Western country—and he gives it
as his opinion, that whether a treaty is made
with the Chiefs or not, moat of them will be
induced to emigrate. He has no doubt, that
at least fifteen hundred will &e ready to de
part by the ensuing fall. We understand
• bat the Agent has found (hi last decision
ot the Supreme Court instead of retarding,
I lias been an auxiliary in inducing the indt
lans to enrol. The Chiefs had boasted a good
| deal about it—saying they had got their saws
and land back, but the enlightened Indians
lout ot authoiily did not so consider it. At
a meeting called by the Chiifs to have the
Decision read, the Indians were not so sat
isfied as was expected, and the Agent suc
ceeded in enrolling between thirty and for
ty names. All the Indians not concerned
-in the government agree in believing that
:it will be for their interest to emigrate.
