Tennessee, it seems he had been in that
State preaching under the assumed name OF
! Jon Forbes. .-...
"Afler his Imprisonment in Hyde county
Jail he tried to get friend to hire the wit
ness Sawyer TO 20 away. He had offered
this same witness, before the body Of L. was
found, a negro is be would swear he co.
was hom. all day Monday the murder was
committed. And whilst in Hyde Jail he
wrote to friend 1.-THE letters were produced
in Court TO get Sawyer out of the way
He had given, he said in one ofthe letters,
Mary This wife) $500 to get Sawyer of; il
that would not do, give him $1,000; and il
that would not do, he (his friend } must
get rid Of Sawyer by hook or bv crook and
not suffer his C.'s neck to be broke"
| The above are the main facts brought out
by the mass of testimony on the trial. The
defence setup for the prisoner was that three
of the witnesses including Sawyerhad sworn
falsely, that they had committed wilful aud
deliberate perjury; thatit was impossible for
Carawa to have gone through the woods
after Lassiter passen his house quick enough
TO have cut him of; and the danger of con-
viering nam of murder on circumstantial
evidence was ingeniously, and elaborately
dwelt upon. But the Whig states that the
general it might say unanimous-opinion
of those who heard the trial is that Caravan
was guilty of the murder. He, however
maintained his self control throughout, even
when the clothes worn by Lassiter when he
was killed were exhibited in court, pierced
with bullet holes and stained with blood
He is ;hus described in the Wing:
Caravan is as fine looking man as one
would find among a thousand-tall, admra-
bly, built, with massive head, showing
with enormous animal passions, large intel
lect. These passions have destroyed him,
having given himself all his life to their un-
5ridled swap. His wife, apparently about
his own age, and his three children have
been with him during the trial, accompany
cd him to and from the court t-house and Jail.
1t is melancholy sight. ........-.... ..
At half past eight o'clock last Wednes-
day morning the jury returned into court
with verdict ofguIty. The jury was then
polIed and discharge by the Judge. A
recess for the court Of one hour was then
ordered, and the crowd commenced leaving
the court room, when two reports of pistols
were heard in quick succession. 1t was
found that Caravan had two selfcocking
single, barrel pistols One Of them he had
discharged at E. J. Warren. Esq, (the
counsel for the prosecution who had made
the closing address TO the jury who was
but slightly wounded the ball having struck
just above his heart and glanced; and with
the other Caravan had shot a hole through
his own head, and fell a corpse in the pms
oner'S box!

THE CONDITION OF THE "NEw WORLD. -
A correspondent of the of the New Yorl
Times, alluding to the co dition of the New
World on board Of which so many emigrant
recently died, makes the startling state
ment: "When the disease broke out in th
vessel the medicines had beer mostly deS
troyed by the violence OF the storpl-the
chests and viaIs being all broken. Yet had
they been saved, they would have been but
slight, ii any protection against its rava-
ges. What is dose of oil or jalap, said
the physician to a man who is caught as by
a vice, whose blood is poisoned in an instant
and who dies in an hour? Nothing but a
large dose of the best brandy, Cayenne
pepper, or both, would have any Effect
The captain had two dozen bottles, and the
physician two bottles of brandy, and this
was the extent Of their protection. Before
the voyage was half made, the desease was
left to lis own course, and nothing was OF

difficult TO find any one to bury the Gead.
In one day eight dead bodies We're
brought from below and cast into the sea-
1t was on Sunday,in terrible gale; the
ship was rolling in the trough Of the sea
and as the physician came upon deck, five
dead bodies were rolling over the decl
from side 10 side, and the sexton had gone
for another. With only the reward of {
glass of brandy one man performed this tasl
Of burying the dead. The place where
these miserable TOO were suffering, was sc
dark that nothing could be seen without +:
light; the emigrants would not tell ola death
and in some instances three or four woul1
continue in a berth for two or three day!
beside a corpse, and the discovery was only
made at last by the nose Of the sexton.
The filth of this lower region was nearly
knee deep. and to 90 throug it, with The
screams and groans Of the suffering added
to the offensive filth, gave you (as minis

New use for clay.

Farmers have probably always known,
that clayey soils were more retCntlve Of
manures than sandy soils. In other words,
a cord Of manure put upon given surface
Of clayey soils, woalj last longer. and give
out It's fertilizing properties more gradually,
than the same amount of the same manure
would, i put upon given surface ofsandy
soil.
1t has also been long known, that clay is
an absorbent Of gasses, and that putrid sub
stances buried in it have their nguscous ex-
haltations completely n4utralized by the
clay absorbing them. XIII. ..., t. \
Recent experiments made in England by
Professor Way, an agricultural chemist,
have demonstrated the fact, that clay will
completely absorb, or take theammonia from
water, and many other Substances. and re-
tain it.
For instance, If some aqua Dmnsoaia,
wafer irnpregnated with ammonia, should
be filtered through clay, it would be found
that the water would pass through pure.
while tie ammonia has stopped by the way,
On the other. hand, should the same
water Of ammonia be passed through sand.
liz would be found but little changed, II any.
We all know that clay will also absorb
water, and retain il with considerable to-.

The moonbeams on the billowy deep,
The blue waves rppling on the strand,
The ocean in its peaceful sleep,
The shell that murmurs on the sand,
The cloud that dim3 the bending SKY,
The bow that on its bosom glows,
The sun that lights the vault on high,
The stars atmilnight's cal repose;
These praise the power that nrched the sky.
And robed the earth in beauty'S dye,
This melody of natures chair,
The deep toned anthems ofthe sea,
The wind that tunes yiewless Tyre, f
The zephyrs on its pinions free, ....
The thunder with its thrilling notes,
The peal upon the mountain mir,
The lay that through the foliage floats,
Or sinks in dying cadence there; ... ..
These, all to thee, their voices raise, .
A fcrvent song of gushing praise .....
The day-star, hearld of the dawn,
As the dnlk sha lows fit away,
The tint upon the cheek of morn.
The dew-drop cleaning on The spray
From wild birds in their wonderings,
From streamlets lcaping to the sea,
From all earth's fair and lovely things,
Doth living praise ascend to theo
Those with their silent tongues proclaim,
Tho varied wonders thy name.
Father, thy hand hath formed the flower,
And flung it on the verdant lea:
Thou bad'st it ope at summers hour, "A
Its hues ofbeauty speak of Thee, zN
Thy works all praise Thee; shall not man
Alike nuune the graceful hyma
Shall not he join the loftest strain,
Echoed from the hsart of seraplimF
We tune to Thee our humble lays,
Thy mercy, goodness, love, we praise.

HINTS TO FARMERs.-A bare pasture en-
riches not the soil, nor fattens the animals,
nor increases the wealth of the owner.
One animal well fed is of more value
than two poorly kept.
The better animals can be fed, and
more comfortable they can be kept, the
more profitable they are-and all farmers
work for profit.
Ground once well ploughed is better
than twice poorly.
Bountiful crops are more profitable than
poor ones. Make the soil rich. pulverize
it well by keeping it clean, and it will gen
orally be productive.
Weeds that grow unmolested around
the fences, stumps and stones. scatter
seeds over the farm and are apt to grow.
Cows well fed in the winter give more
milk in the summer. An OK that is in
good condition in the spring. will perform
more labor, and stand the heat of sum
mer much better thad one that is poor.
