CARAVAN KILLS HIMSELF.

We learn from the North State Wing that there
was much excitement in Washington last week.
casioned by the trial and conviction before Beaufort
Superior Court, of the Rev. George W. Caravan for
the murder of Clement, H. Lassiter The testimony,
in substance, that Caravan, having grudge
against Lassitcr, shot him, and afterwards buried
him in a swamp near his house, in Hyde County,
where after some days the body was found. Cara
wan made his escape, went to Tennessee, where he
preached under the assumed name of John Forbes
After time he returned home, and was arrested in
his house in January last The evidence was all cir
cumstantial-no one saw him commit the deed, but
the evidence appears to have left no doubt on the
minds of the jury of his guilt. The case was man
aged the part of the State by George S. Stevenson
Esq, Solicitor, and E. j. Warren and D. NJ. Carter
Esqs. and for the defence by James w. Bryan, F.
B. Satterthwaitc W. B. Rodman, and r. S. Donnell,
Esqs.-Judgc Bailey presiding. After long and pa
tent hearing the jury took the case, retired and a
ter some hours returned a verdict of guilty. The
Judge then discharged the jury and ordered recess
of the Court for one hour. Just as the crowd com
menced to leave report of pistol was heard fol-
lowed Immediately by another Caravan had two
sclfcocking single barrel pistols With one he aim
ed at Mr.. Warren, of the counsel who had OPP
pcarcd against him. The ball struck Just above his
heart and glanced, making but slight wound. With
the other he shot hole through his own head kill
ing himself instantly.
Caravan was Sc years old, and had been for many
years popular preacher in the Baptist Church. He
man of strong will, enormous passions large
but comparatively uncultvated intellect, and, the
sequel shows, utter hypocrite. His wife, appa-
rcntly about his age, and his three children
were with him during the trial, and were no doubt
in the Court room when he destroyed himself
We learn that g volume will be issued from the
press in few days containing accurate report Of
the trial, prepared by member of the Bar, when
every wishing to acquaint himself with the par
ticuars of of the fouest and most extraordinary
murders ever perpetrated, do so. "

PERSONAL Hon. Thomas Ruffin member of Con-
cress from this District, started to-day the morn
ing train en- route for Washington City, the seat of
his future labors Fulsome euogy is as distasteful
to ourself as to the distinguished subject of
marks but wcnust be permitted to say that seldom
indeed has the temporary absence Of any indi-
viCual from the social circle created greater void
than is felt by this entire community by the depart
ure of Col Ruffin Affabc and courteous in his in
tcrcourse with all he has won the affections of the
most apathetic amongst us; dignified and upright,
he alike commands the esteem and respect of all who
know him. A Lawyer of studious habits, profound
thought and solid eruditlon, he enjoyed the unmin-
glcd confidence and pure regard of every member of
the bar with whom he became acquainted, and al
ready stood on the threshold of distinction in his
profession when the Partially of his party conferred
on him the unsought but prouder distinction of re-
presenting the interests of the second District in the
Halls of our National Assembly. To perform the du-
ties of his high trust he has gone to Washington
and venture the opinion, in advance, that those
duties will, none of them, be neglected.
With the political opinions of Mr. K. this paper
has nothing to do do we pretend to regard him,
in what we have said, as mere politician re speak
of him a citizen, man who would lose his right
rather than do, submit to the doing of an I'M
the Hon. Thomas Ruffin and speak of him as we
have known him in private life as well as IN the
discharge of public dutics.- With such a man In
Congress, District need have no fears that the
other Representatives from the State Will not receive
hearty cooperation, in every measure that can adj
the interests of North Carolina secure the sta
bty of our hallowed institutions, and MAINTAIN the
integrity and perpetulity of the Union
Golds50ro' NeW Era.

~ The Register of Wednesday speaks of the
Democratic party as ga league of demagogues for
the spoils and adds locofocosm teaches that there
is something sacred in the name of organization,
which it is treason to question or oppose" Weshan
neither abuse the Register for these expressions
pronounce them false; every of sense knoacs
them to be silly and that there is not enough truth
in them to fill grain of mustard seed. The Dem
ocratic party now holds the Presidency large ma
jority in Congress, and all the State governments :;
and yet such party, with its principles emblazoned
upon every page of the countys history, and known
and read of all men, is pronounced ga league of
demagogues for the sake of spoiis!
The Register objects to the Importance attached
by Democrats to organization; and an uniformed
reader would be led to infer from his remarks that
he was, prominently a man of principles; or that
if not so, he very patriotic and well-me aiming
no-party man. What are the facts? Why, the
Register has not for months set forth any principles
cardinal in the Wing creed if except his ran
dom and vague defamation the land question and
longer ago than the 23d of last month the Editor
himself introduced Resolutions into the Wake Wing
meeting which silent to principles but contain
the most pointed illusions to the Importance of party
organization This is one specimen of the Editors
consistency.
