HUSTINGS COI1RT

On the 22d February, difficulty occurred in groce-
ry store near the New Market House, between white
man named Davis Marshall, and free negro named
Staples. The white man being into icated drew o.
knife, and inflicted slight wound with it on one of the
neg1o's arms; the wound was slight that it was not
even boundup, we learn Marshall was arres ted by
officer White taken before the Mayor for examination
and by the Mayor sent before the Hastings Court On
Friday last, the Justices examined into the matter and
determined to send the prisoner before the Superior
Court tor trial This decision may be strictly in con-
formty with law, but does appear little odd that one
prisoner should be discharged for deliberately shooting
down fellow Citizen whilst another one is sent on for
trial because he merely inflicted flesh wound on an
insolent and VIGOROUSLY vicious free negro

HoAx.-fhe Now York Tribune recently publish
ed what pupored to be the proceedings of meeting Of
citizens of Orange county, North Carolina, favourable
to liberty and opposed to the extension OF slavery The
Tribune and the Express grew exceedingly solemn over
this manifestation OF Free Soil sentiment in the South
and did not doubt that the meeting represented the SEN
timents of large minority OF the people Of North Caro-
lima, The Raleigh Register and Standard explain the
matter by revealing that the whole affair was hoax of
the Chapel Hill college boys. The Register says:
"The names of the characters represented as figuring
most prominently in the meeting are most familiar to u.s.
and the sight OF them in print recalls many grateful re-
eses in the way OF ot-blackng, &c. &C. We had no
ldea at the time that they bid fair ever to figure in DO
litica circles. There is telling however, what UPS
