HUMAN LIFE.


It is only in the thronged and crowded City,
where, at a single glance, one can witness, on
the one hand, the a~fiuence, elegance, grace,
intelligence, enterprise, activity and facilities
for all these and on the other, see the squat
lid poverty, degradation, ignorance, indo-
lence and misery-that he is prepared to form
any conception of the pleasures and ills oflife.
Within the circumscribed limits of a few miles,
are congregated all classes and conditions Of
men-from the wealthy nabob, who rolls and
riots in luxury and pleasure, to the wretched
mendicant whose cadaverous cheeks betoken
penury and starvation-from the sleek-faced
gentleman, whose rounded and well-flled pro-
portions give assurance of f~easting upon the
ehoisest viands and imbibing the most costly
wines, to the haggard counsenance of the
wrecked inebriate to whom a moulded crust Of
bread and a drink of the vilest whiskey, fill up
the measure of his highest anticipations-from
the gay and costly decorated belle, who spends
her thousands in the halls of fashion, to the
forlorn and destitute seamstress who labors In
eessantly night and day for a few shillings, to
procure the scanty means which are necessary
to prolong her wretched existence!
Such is life in the crowded City And as
We have stood in the thronged ~tborough-fares
of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and New
Orleans, and looked upon the great panomars
Of humanity spread out before US, we have in.
voluntarily asked ourself, was not Thomas JEFF
ferson and our own Nathaniel Macon correct
in their assertions, that great Cities were greai
sores on the body polite, whose tendency is tc
wax worse and worse, and that the evils the,
entail far exceed the advantages that accrue
from their existence ?
We have always returned from these prea
human " fairs" in which are displayed so mucI
OF heartlessness and depravity, with a stronge-
attachment for the quiet, happy and healthfu
Influences of the country, and for the honest
hearted morals which are born and nurture,
among the hills, and v~alIies, and fields of. tn,
interior. We have learned to place a prope
estimate upon the virtue and unsophisticate,
spirit of our yeomanry of the country, com

AN IN COURT.

The Standard justly speaks in Indignant
terms Of a must disgraceful outrage, committed
in this city on Thursday of last week, Wills,
Wake Comfy Court was 10 session. The
Constable of the Court and City. Mr.. James
H. Murray, was sitting within the bar, when
John Williamson came up behind him and
struck him with all his force, with a rock
which he held in his hand, stunning and fell
ing him to the floor. Williamson was mme-
diately seized by the clerk, Mr.. Marriott, and
held until the Court ordered him Ia prison.
This outrage is the more a~troeions from the
fact, that Williamson had just been compelled
by the Court 10 give bond to keep the peace
towards Mr.. Murray, who had only dealt with
him previously as an officer in the discharge Of
his duty. Mr.. Murray was conveyed to his res
ldence in a carriage, and was Immediately at
tended BY Doctors Hill and F. ]. HAYWOOD.
We are glad to learn that his skull is not frac-
lared, though his head is cut through to the
bone.
Such an outrage, perpetrated on a worthy
officer Of the law. and under the very eve or
The Court. calls for the heaviest punishment
which that Court can infict. Williamson is
noted for his profligate and desperate disposi-
lion, and is The very character of whom an ex-
ample ought to be made at this time, for the
good Of the community.
On Saturday, we learn Williamson was
brought into Court, and made affidavit thar h.
had no knowledge of the transaction, so drunk
was he. This should be an aggravation rather
Than a mitigation Of the offence ; for if a man
can make such a plea in exlenuaiion of crime.
all the desperate and outlaw has iodo, is to get
drunk and then he is exrnsable for taking the
life Of his fellow man. Williamson was sen
fenced to two months imprisonment and a fine
Of $50 for contempt Of Court. His trial for the
assault will, We presume, take place at the
Spring Term of our Superior Court.
We are grafiied 10 learn that Mr. Murray
is doing well, and viii probably recover fruni
his wounds, which, at first, ii Was feared would
prove fatal.
