Sentence of Big Thunder" We are ndebt-

America, which arrived at half past two this morn
ing from Hudson, for the following letter:
Hudson, Sept. 80, l845.
Before the timn arrived for the passing of sen
tenee on DR.. BoughtOn.. or Big. Thunder, the
Court Room wasthronged with an immense crowd
Of both ladies and gentlemen.
At a quarter before two, Judge Edmunds called
the Court to order. The prisoner, Bough.on, was
then brought in, and ordered to stand up and say
"why sentence should not be passed upon him."
Bough,on arose, and in low tone stated that he
wished for few days lenily, in order that he
might see his wife and settle his family affairs,
which request was finally complied with, Tie
Judge then addressed the prisoner at some length,
and concluded by pronouncing his sentence to be

We publish to-day an article from an esteemed
and able correspondent on the subject of Peni-
tentiary. His pen ought not to remain idle, and
we hope we do not impose too heavy task on
him when we ask him TO send in his manuscripts
at least twice as often they have been received
heretofore. But we must say that we think him
a little too severe upon US in the present number
We inserted the article from a Georgia paper
through desire to spread before our readers eve-
ry thing we could that bore upon the subject :;
and we assure our correspondent if such assur
ance be necessary, that thus far we have not seen
nor heard any thing to induce us TO swcrve in the
least degree from the course we laid down in our
answers TO the Register few weeks since We
desire to keep this important question aloof from
party politics. 1t shall not so into them with our
consent
Our paper, as we said before, is open to full
and fair discussion of the question, and we are
happy TO say that we have already enlisted the
energies of some of the first pens in the Common
wealth. We have the fullest confidence in the
wisdom and virtue of the people, and believe ii is
only necessary for them we'll TO understand sub
jcct, TO do right.

From III. New Orleans Courier

Iron has become so scarce and dear in France
that the minister of marine has appointed com
mittce to inquire whether it is not expedicnt to re-
duce the duties on imported iron. Though the
supply has more than doubled within few years
past still it is not sufficient to meet the extensive
demand occasioncd by the great number of rail-
roads projected and in course Of execution. The
minister of marine apprehcnds that he will be COM
PEELED to pay an intolerably high price for iron for
building and repairing ships belonging to the
navy.
Iron will undoubtedly command high prices all
over the world in consequence oflhe vast quantity
of the article consumed in the construction of rail-
roads. From Russia to Egypt the order of the
day is Misunderstanding out railroads In the
Uni,ed States the same spirit Of improvement pre-
vails-and the result will be that iron will become
enormously dear-What is the use of protective
duty for the commodity under these circumstances2

We recently made brief tour through parts Of
the neghburing State of Delaware, and were very
agreeably surprised at the manifest improv vem ent
in disappearance of many portions of our route
over what was the case, when we passed over the
same ground ten years ago. No doubt many Of
our readers have marked the rapid and very great
improvement in New Castle county-but it Is more
in reference to Kent and Sussex that we now have
TO speak. The use Of the lime as a manure is what
has mostly effected the beneficial change in the ag-
Eicutural appearance Of those counties Immense
quantities of this fertilizer imported from New
York and Pennsylvania, as well as burnt in the
State. From Delaware City to CanIwell's Bridge,
and south through the Levels the whole country is
in high state of productveness. In the vicinity
OF Symrna, and back Of il for many miles, reach
ing into the forests along the road towards Dover
and Leipsic, fine fields of clover and heavy corn
have taken the place Of stunted wild grass, and
corn producing little else than mere nubbins Around
Leipsic, on Raymond's and Little creeks the same
change has been effected, as we'll as around Dover
and Camden. Occasionally is seen green spot rs-
ing towards Milford, Milton, or Lewistown. But
as yet the spirit Of improvement has not extended
as greatly as II onght, and is needed into Sussex.
But IN Kent it is every where manifested The
crop oil wheat at the late harvest throughout the
State, was large and OF good quality, and perhaps
it never yielded so abundant crop of corn as the
present The value of land hiss risen IN Kent and
Newcastle very considerably. and we were rather
surprised to hear of farmers selling tracts at so dol
lars per acre and upwards that we know could have
been bought some years ago for ten. We missed
from many places forests Of oak and hickory and
found corn in their place, We are inclined to
think such changes will not only be productive IN
pecuniary point of view the State but add to its
salubrity..
There is not much difference in the appearance
of the villages. compared with the period of which
we speak-Smyrna has improv ed-Dover has
grown. Milford, Milton Lewistown little or none,
Cantwelfs Bridge and LePsic, however, have
grown materially in population and activity. Oni
the whole the ardent spirit of agricultural improve
ment was pleasing 10 and the good work has
already strengthened the hand of our gallant little

DEATH OF WILL A. JEFPREYS, ESQ.
We have this week to perform the melancholy
duty of announcing the death Of WILLIAM A..
JEFFREYs, Esq, Senator from Franklin county
He expired al his residence on Friday morning
last after an illness of about twenty days, of bilious
fever. The deceased was 9 lawyer by profession,
having studied in this City a few years since un-
der the direction of the Hon. William Fl. Hay
wood, Jr Soon, after coming to the bar he was
appointed by the Magistrates County Attorney for
Franklin, the duties of which office he discharged
up TO his election as Senator with frmncss, i'm
partiality and ability + Last year he was elected
by the feeholders of franklin to the State Senate,
and was, perhaps, the youngest member in that
distinguished body r'a 1l g
AS man Mr.. Jcffreys was remarkable for can
dor, honesty, and decision Of character. In the
circles of private life he was obliging and amia-
bic, and man had firmer or more devoted friends
At home, surrounded by his affectionate family,
upon whom more than all others this heavy blow
has fallen, he was all that we see in good hus-
band and in an induIgenl father. Asa politician
he had the fullest confidence in the integrity and
virtue of the people, and was at all times and un-
der all circumstances their honest champion and
servant. franklin county never sent to the Le-
gislature Representative more patriotic or one
truer 10 all her interests than he was But his
bold and manly eloquence is hushed; and the loss
is not merely that of his patty, but the whole
State has suffered in the extinction Of so promising
an intellect He has been cut off ere the great
work of his enlightened life had been fairly CON-
mcnced. Many regrets and sorrows follow him
to his long repose.

Law PROFEssORsHIP.

We learn from the Register that the Trustees
of the University Of North Carolina have csa-
blished Law Professorship, of which Judge
WILLIAM H. BATTLE has been appointed Pro-
lcssor. We consider the selection of Professor as
an excellent one, and the Profssorship itself thai
which ought to have been established long since
The position Judge Battle occupies is an import
ant one, and we need not add the hope That he
will discharge its duties faithfully, and without
the prejudice and bias Of the parLizan. ~
We have too long looked 10 Virginia for in
struction in the law. Many of our young men go
annually to their seats of learning, especially 10
William and Mary, where, though the knowledge
impaired may be very good in itself and quite ac-
curate, they are compelled to hear their native
State ridiculed, and that too. at times BY learned
Professors. We owe j: to ourselves TO divert the
minds Of our young men into different channels;
and we trust we shall not see any more pu6s in
North Carolina newspapers OF Law Schools at
Richmond, now that we have good Professor
ship in our own University. The Register will
understand this. We quote from that paper the
following plan of the Law Department:
This Department will contain two Classes, of
"htCn Tue uFSt cailed the lRUeDcndent CLLSS will
consist of such Students of Law, as have no con-
nexion with any Of the College Class; aad the
second, called the College Glass, will consist of
such irregular Members of College as, with the
permission of the Faculty, may be desirous of
joining il.
'The plan of Studies comprises BIacktone's
Commentaries, Stephen on Pleading, Chiuy on
Pleading. Greeneaf on Evidence, Chitty on Con-
tracts, Cruises Digest of Real Property; and Viii
iIams on Executors. together with Lectures on the
Municipal Laws Of the State as modified bv The
Acts Of the Legislature and decisions of the State
Court.
"A complete Course viii occupy two years for
the Independent Glass. and two years and half
for the CoHege Glass, at the end OF which the De-
gree OF BACHELOR OF Law. will be conferred on |
such Students as, by their proficiency, may be
deemed entitled TO it.
The Professor of Law receives no salary from
the Trustees Of the University, but is entitled to
egman6 Gioaa or rom each member of the Independent
OF the Course; aud $25 afterwards; and from each
member OF the College Glass, $25 per Session.
" Fhe Professor of Law, and the members of the |
independent Glass; will not be subject to any of |
the ordinary College regulations"

tion is by free consultation to find ou. who under
all circums,nnccs, will stand the best chance for
success, and to nominate him. II may be that he
is the man nominated in this county, or in that
one, or it may be one who has not been nomina-
ted in any county. In either case, nothing is
gained by the county nominations but may throw
some difficulties in the way of free action. On
the whole therefore, county nominations do no
good, but may do harm, and as such had better be
let alone.
