never have seen, and probably never will see

gone 70 another Court-the last'Court for

life, perhaps Of fifty years duration, will
reward or punish, not for definite period,
but for all eternity. This will be Gods tri-

will be made from Charleston connecting.

The subscription from Camden, amounts

subscriptions That the Road must be
continued to Concord, or some other point
in North Carolina. OF course, rs the Char
