INTERESTING TRIALS IL NORTH CARO-.
LINA.--The Milton Chronicle of the 24th
ult., has reports Of two trials, which excl.
ted great interest in Person County Supe-
rior Court last week. The irst is that o.
Col. J. Douglass, of Orange, who was
tried on a suit brought by Miss Naygary,
Holcman, Of Person. for seduction. in
which she claimed $4,000 damages
The jury returned verdict in favor OF
Miss IoIeman, and awarding the fun a.
mount Of damages 100000 he sued for
an amount, we venture TO say, unprc-
cedented by any similar case to be found
upon record. Douglass is a married man.
and therefore no breach Of promise to
marry was involved in the complaint
The Chronicle understands that the com
pIanant subsequently compromised ON
$1,000. The other case was the trial Of
Bushrod Harris, for the murder Of man
named WInlree, printer, haIiIng from
Richmond. The jury, after about twenty
minutes dclberatlon, returned a verde,
of guilty Of murder; whercupon the court
mouse rang with applause.

We, the undersigned, have pledged
ourselves to each other for life,- or as
long as we can live in harmony, and

This we do without conforming to the
laws and customs Of this nation in re-
gard to marragc, believing it to be an
affair exclusively our own, and that
no others, whether of friends, Church
Or State, have ought to do or say in
the matter.
We deem it necessary to give this
notice, that our friends and the public
may know of our Union, that we may
not be exposed to SANDER.

a THE Works OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
We notice the statement in the Eas-
tern papers that Messrs. Little, Brown
& Co., publishers are called upon to
issue the Sixth Edition Of Mr.. Web
ster's works.
No statesman of our country since
its earliest days, ever paid So much at
tention to his productions as DANIEL
WEBSTER, and none of orr great men
were so uniformly successful i'll their
efforts, ithcr at the bar, in the forum
or in their correspondence. In every
thing Mr.. Webster said or did, there
was massivness and simplicity, that
charmed as we'll as enlightened his
coun.rymcn, and we know Of no man
in ancient or modern times, more wor-
thy to be adopted as the model and the
study of our youth, than the great New
England Statesman, and we hope his
works will ere long be found in the IL
brary of every American citizen.

SINGULAR FAcT.-It is a very re-
markable fact, in the history Of the
United States, that none Of the great
names among the American elected
Presidents had children. No one who
was ever reelected had sou. Wash

fee eight years. John Adams had
children he was not reelected. JEFF
ferson had no children he was re-
elected, and held Office eight years.
Madison had no children; held the
Presidency eight years. Monroe had
no son ; held Office cigL. years. John
Quincy Adams had sons he was not
reelected. Jackson had no children ;
he was reelected. Van Buren, had
childred ; not reelected. Harrison

FLOUR FOR AUsTRALlA.-The New
York Express, referring to the large
shipments of -four from tina: port to
Australia, says:
THE brands were chiefly best
Southern, say at an average of 5 70
per Dbl. Freights for this species OF
merchandise vary from 3 to 3 80 per
Dbl. The total cost, therefore, is, at
the outside, not more than 9 90, in
GLIDING insurance and as. at last dates,
the article was selling at the most ex-
crbitant prices at Sydney, there is but
little doubt that handsome profit will
be made, always providing that the
-four will keep sweet till it arrives
there. A. Danisk brig at this port,
we notice, last week engaged cargo
of 1000 bbls., for which 3 90 freight
was paid"

for a good crop Of ice begins to bright
en-. We have had several days Of
freezing weaker, which has covered
the ponds, though the ice, We believe,
is as yet thin. 1t will require q con-
tinuance Of steady cold weather tor
three or four weeks, to enable the ice
dealers to make up for lost time; and
the prospect is that the ice. will not be

New Orleans is to be cnlivencd this
winter with the presence of Ole Bull,
Strakosch, Patti Mrs. Bostwick, Miss
Katy Hayes, Sonntag, Gottschalk, and
others. Such, a troupe of musical tai.

these celebrities will visit the Capita
