CHARLES COUNTY CoURT.-This Court
is still in session, the Hon. Judge DORSEY
upon the bench. The Will Case, of which

On Monday last the trial of Bill Wheeler,
one of the prime movers in the late negro
Instruction, came up. The case was sub
mitted to the jury on Tuesday evening, who,
after short absence, returned into Court
and rendered verdict Of guilty. The next
morning his counsel made a motion for a
new trial, which was overruled by the
Court A motion for an arrest of judgment
was also made, and this also was overruled.
1t now only remains for the Court to pass
sentence on him. The case was submitted
to the jury upon the mere matters of fact
elected during the trial from the witnesses,
together with the law bearing upon the case.
The Court to-day are engaged in the trial
of Mark Caesar, the accomplish of Bill
Wheeler.
There were separate indictments filed by
the grand jury against these negroes. They
will be tried by fair and impartial jury,
(as one has already been,) and if proved to
be guilty, will, in accordance to the law in
relation to this crime, suffer the penalty Of

We had the pleasure Of receiving few
days since parcel of delicious Grapes of
the largest English species, grown in the
garden of Aquilla Bateman, Esq, our Reg
lister of Wills. To US, being the first fruit
of the kind we have smacked our lips upon
this season, it was indeed welcome pre-
sent. If we mistake not it was Joshua and
Caleb who were sent to spy out the Land
Of Promise and brought therelrom grapes,
thinking probably such fruit superior to all
other; and were the grapes they found there
as fine as the ones we received. they may
have had every reason for thinking so.

MEETING OF SLAvE-HoLDERs IN ANNE
ARUNDEL CoUNTY.-We learn from the An
napolis Herald, that in consequence of the
letter of DR.. Richard F. Steuart to John l..
Carey, Esq, the shareholders in the lower
part of Anne Arundel county, called a meet
ing, which was to have taken place on Sa-
turday last, under the large oak tree on Col.
James Boyle's farm, on the public road lead
ing from Annapolis to Buffers tavern. The
Herald says, we have seen some of the re-
sidents of the neighborhood TO which the
Doctors letter relates, and they seem quite
indignant, and deny the truth of that part of
the statement therein, which says that many,
or any of them, have been consulted, and
that they agreed with the DR.. We under
stand that the DR.. has been specially noti-
fed to attend; and the object of the meet
ing is 10 ascertain who they are who have
agreed with him; and also, 10 adopt such
resolutions as the sentiments and feelings
of the shareholders may suggest. 1t is a
very important subject, and every person
who attends ought TO determine that he will
keep cool and act with great prudence, but
with firmness and decision.

the 21st ultimo: awe live, as all know, in
the heart of the fine Tobacco growing re-
gion, and having made inquiries of theplan-
tiers from the various counties in this region,
it is our deliberate opinion that under no
circumstances can the Virginia crop be more
than half a one, if that. Information from
the adjoining States and the tobacco grow
ing State of the West had been received,
and the crop cannot be more than half an
average one''

We would say to this blacksouled Ca

to come South he would soon be able &c
drum up an army, not perhaps one hundred
thousand strong, but as he is no doubt a

FAMINE IN SOUTH CARoL1NA.-The cry
of famine in any part Of the United States
is seldom heard, except prospectively in the
partizan newspapers, and by partizan ora
tors, but the want of the real necessaries of
life by any large class Of people, such as is
now felt in portion of South Carolina, is a
thing, we imagine, altogether unprecedent-
ed in the Union. A letter in the Charles
ton Mercury speaks Of the distress and con-
sequent excitement of feeling experienced
by the farmers Of Spartansburg, in conse-
quence Of the failure Of their crops, and the
excessive price of provisions, which prevent
the poor from purchasing; and it was ap-
pretended would cause them to resort to
force to satisfy their wants.
