At the Superior Court for Rowan county, which
closed ON the LIST instant, Jacob Dove tried and
convicted of the murder of man named Lenker
at place called "Nubben Ridge" in Cabarrus
county
The crime was perpetrated near two years ago.
The prisoner whose countenance was indicative of
intelligence, and wore aspect of cheerfulness
for one in his awful situation, looked pale probably
the effect of his long confinement.
There was a great number of witnesses sum
lnoned, somewhere between sixty and seventy; and
the trial lasted from Thursday morning until about
~ o'clock on Friday night, at which time the jury
left the box, returning, about O'Clock in the morn
ing, with verdict of GUILTY.
This murder, of which Dove has been convicted,
was premeditated one; committed under circum-
stances which show the perpetraor to be tiend in
human shape. Dove in early life a man of re-
is still living surrounded by her children, who are
honor to their mother. Getting into bad habits,
Dove separated from his wife, and lived for eight or
ten years at "Nubben Ridge" with loose girl, who
at length discarded him, and entered into en-
gagement to marry Lenker, the murdered man.
The evidence is that, on hearing of this contem-
plated marriage, Dove threatened to shoot Lenker,
should he again appear in the neighborhood; and
the week before the marriage was to take place the
deed was done. The body found near the
road Lenker had taken in going from the house OF
his mistress A rifle ball had been shot through his
head The most interesting feature of this painful
trial was the appearance, in the prisoners box, Of
the criminals two sons, who in childhood had been
forsaken by their parent, but who, drawn by the
ties of filial affection, had come to aid and support
their errng father, doubtless in the belief that he
was innocent. Lincolnton ~. CO. Republican.

The Administration,

In little more than month hence the President
will present his message to Congress, when the line
OF policy designed to be pursued by the Admins
tration will be distinctly traced out and be subject
to the approval or condemnation Of the American
people. 1t would seem, therefore. to be simple
act justice in those politically opposed to the Pre-
sdent to withhold their hostility until he shall have
the opportunity to define his position, and to make
known the measures which he would recommend
to be adopted. Should he recommend any thing add
verse TO the interests of the country his opponents
may attack his measures without subjecting them
selves to the charge of being influenced by 1actious
motives. Ifthey resolved to strike the should
at least shear him" first to be able to give
reason for the blow which they may give. He had
hardly taken his seat in the Presidential mansion
before he was violently assailed with abuse and at
tempted ridicule but this erroneous course cannot
affect his popularity, or diminish the respect in
which he is held by the American people, who will
Judge him by his acts, and not by the ina ginary
offences imputed to him by embittered partisans
All he can desire is to be judged fairly, and that he
has right to expect from free and enlightened
people.-Bdifi,nOre Clipper.

The amount of coal raised this season on the War
rior river and tributaries will greatly exceed that
Of last year Within distance of eighty or ninety
miles above Tuscaloosa, the number of fiat boats
built, building, and projected, is 200. They all
dependent fresbet in the river for getting
the shoals. There now, however, two compa
mics, OF twenty hands each, at work the river,
breaking up and removing the projecting rocks; so
that boats may glide smoothly down without the
danger OF striking on one place more than another
Much was done last year. we learn to diminish the
danger oil nat -boat nav cation, and no doubt much
more will be accomplished before this closes
This Information is derived from late letter
from the coal region. The writer remarks: ''Of
the extent and value Of the coal region there be
no doubt Most OF the coal beds hitherto found
less than four feet in thickness4--n strata too thin
Tor mining--but several Of them four feet thick
and upward Those above three feet are more nu-
merous still. do not mean that they are found in
numerous places ercly--but that they are differ
ent strata, clearly defined, lying one above an
other.
The far greater number above the level OF
high water, appearing in bluffs which overhang the
channel OF the stream; and, indeed, at the bottom
of its bed. The river runs on coal, sometimes bare
sometimes shielded by sand rock, for above one hun
dred miles The coal is bare in all the little streams
that run into the river. The greater part Of the
land in the coal region is public, and may be OBJ
tanned at government price.
The dip of the coal is uniformly in the direction
OF the natural drainage of the country. All the
Warrior beds, thick thin, are so, and therefore
require nothing but ditching TO keep the mining
operations free from the ingress Of water This Is
true Of those the North river, also, far as has
been examined. Those on the Cahawba river are
at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizon. They
dip obiquely across the drainage of the country,
and WILL il is apprehended, require great power to
keep them dry.
Mr.. Handy is working mine, high up on
the Warrior river, of over four feet in thickness,
jutting the channel of the river which at that
point will swim any sort Of boat at low water The
stratum asccnds from the river. There will, there
fore, be no trouble from water coming in.
Professor TuoIney, learn, has spent a good
portion of the summer in examining the mineral
region east Of Tuscaloosa. His knowledge has in
this way been greatly enlarged as to the extent,
quality, &C., of the coal, iron and marble deposites
running through middle Alabama. All the infor-
nation thus acquired will, we presume, be pre-
scented in detail TO the Legislature at its next SEES

as her intentions to suppress the liberal
movement in Rome are regarded by many
of our people to have been; yet, if she
stand by the Sultan in his chivalrous re-
fusal to give up the Hungarian patriots, it
will be long stride in direction oppo-
site to that fatal error Nor would such a
proceeding be attributed to the selfshness
which lies at the foundation OF most inter
national policies. Though France and
England are both concerned in confining
Russian rule to its present boundaries,
yet the immediate cause which unltes
these ancient enemies in compact alliance
for the preservation of the rights OF hospl-
tally and the comfy of nations, awakens
sympathies which, throughout the civilized
world, would not scar the interest Of
either at stake, or cheaper the homage Of
a sincere and enthusiastic applause, which
would be awarded both.

Ireland.

The harvest operations have by this time been
almost brought 10 close Not only have all the
corn crops in the country, so far as can learn,
been cut down, but in nearly all they have
been safely stored We can, therefore, speak with
something like certainty respecting the harvest Of

IL has been Of the most abundant by which the
country has been blessed for many years With

in power toreport equally well ofcorn With
prospect Of fine weather IL was not apprehended
that any such proportion Of the whole crop would
be lost as bad previously been speculsted upon.
The Irish journals arc filled with accounts Of the
most sanguinary conflicts ketween the tenantry
and the landlords, for the Possession Of the corn
and the long cherished feelings Of hatred between
the occupier Of the soil and the owner have now
broken out with degree Of violence which threat
ems very serious results. Already numerous lives
have been lost.

sympathize with this indiscriminate condemnation
Of President Taylor before his policy is made
up-before even opportunity has been afforded
him for bringing forward measures for approval
rejection The unprejudiced, honest man does not
discover in General Taylor or his administration
any of those qualities or intentions which threaten
the peace, prosperity, or in any manner the wei
fare of the nation. There is ground afforded for
the charge that General Taylor is not actuated by
above every other consideration whatever that he
is not honest and patriotic; that he does not regard
the whole Union, Is not opposed TO schemes of all
kinds, and ardently DESTROYS 10 administer the gov
eminent according 10 the Constitution and the good
old doctrines of the early Presidents, from which
there has been wide departure by some of his
predecessors. What the country wants is stability
Punctuation is the worst of all things TO trade and
commerce, and on these depends the prosperity OF
the people. Without intending TO produce revo-
luton that shall completely overturn the existing
order of things-thus making chaos that order may
be produced-it will unquestionably be the policy
of General Taylor's administration To establish
measures that, by their wisdom and adaptation To
the wants of the whole country, will command the
support of all such do not derive more advan-
age from confusion, depression, and turmoil, than
from stable and fixed policy. The substantial
portion of the country would be glad TO such
era ushered in and il will not be disputed that for
the last twenty five years, no man has occupied
the Presidential chair so well calculated to bring
about so desirable an object as General Taylor.
Ii is, therefore, fair to say that the which is
so violently waged against General Taylor and his
administration is waged against the best interests
of the country; and that they who do it exhibit a
greater devotion To party than to the higher OBJ
iects which should enlist the common efforts of all
patriotic and reasonable men,

BLackwoods Magazine, which has so
long maintained the Tory side and Anti
American side of every question, has come
round in most essential point. Instead
Of declaiming furiously, as in former times,
against the American protective system,
it now freely confesses the great wisdom
and inestimable benefits OF that policy, and
ascubes to it with perfect truth the unpar-
alleled advancement of the United States
in wealth, population, independent spirit,
social improvement, Individual and collec-
tive enterprise, and all the elements of
national greatness. Blackwood quotes the
following passage of Mr.. Webster's speech
in 1848, as equally remarkable for truth
and eloquence
81 have spoken Of labor as one of the
great elements of our society, the great
substantial interest on which We all stand.
Not feudal service, not predial toll, not the
irksome drudgery by one race of mankind,
subjected, on account of color, to the con-
troll of another race of mankind but labor,
intelligent, manly, independent, thinking
and acting for itself, earning its own wages,
accommodating those wages into capital, be-
coming part of society and Of our social
system, educating childhood, maintaining
worship, claiming the right of the elective
franchise, and helping to uphold the great
fabric of the State. THAT is AMERICAN
LABOR, and | confess that all my sympa-
thies are with it, and my voice, until am
dumb, will be for ito
