THE NORFOLK ORPHANS

The letter of our respected correspondent G.,
explains the reasons why the authorities of Norfolk
are unwilling to surrender their orphans OF
course, in question of the kind, the reasons al 1
the decision are with the people of Norfolk but we
cannot help doubling the force of tho reasons alleg
ed. We doubt whether the relatives of the orphans
would complain at their being confided 10 the pso.
pie OF Richmond, from whom they could at any
time be obtained. They would more likely be
gratihed that they had been removed 10 place of
safety, where they would most assuredly be ten.
DERBY cared for. We should be happy 10 sea It.
HENpERsoN and his juveniles up here. We could

of usefulness. We wanted the Norfolk children
We hope they will yet be sent If they are not our
correspondent and his people will at least allow us
to complain and grumble that they won't accept
our invitation to send them.

Negro Trial.

There has been considerable excitement
in the lower part of the district for some
little time, occasioned by the trial Of a
negro boy, Anderson, the property of Mr..
WIN. Duncan, for burglary. As our read
ers are aware, the same negro was tried
some two weeks ago for attempting
rape, but was found innocent. The last
trial terminated on Monday evening last,
after having consumed some four days.
The negro was found guilty, and SEN
fenced to be hung on the 25,h Of October
next.
We were not Prcsert, and therefore DO
not know the particulars. Some think
he deserved the fate assigned him, beiev-
ing his intention was to commit an out
rage on young girl, who was in the dwc.-
ling when be entered it. Others ag Ain,
think he does not deserve so severe punish
ment. All, however, are obliged to abide
by the requisitons Of the law. The coun.
sci for the defendant we believe will ap-
peal.

Attempted Burglary.

On Wednesday night last, an effort was
made to rob the money safe of Mr.. James
Ii. Witherspoon, our Commissioner and Or
binary. The night in question was very in
element. The burglars first attempted to
forse open the windows of the Commission
er's Office, but finding their efforts unavail-
ing, they then forced open the door, with
some iron instrument, most probably crow
bar. The papers in the Office were digent-
ly searched; whether the thieves expe cted to
find money in them, or with the intention of
finding some document they desired, we are
unable to say. 1t is rather singular to us,
that papers should be examined for mon y,
when an iron safe in the cnrnar r-.,.---. i'---O
~-r'ar'rr suggested the idea, that all the funds
were there.
An attempt was made to open the safe,
but from the appearance, We should say no
great attempt The burglars, however, so
far ns Mr.. Witherspoon has discovered, re-
ceived nothing for their ,ins, excepting
four dollar box Of seSars, which WAS lying
oil the table.

DEATH FROM INrEMpERANcE--INQU
Yesterday morning about hslfpast five
o'clock, the body Of William Madden was
found in small alley or gateway, lead.
ing from Stste.street, naar Cumberland
During the forenoon, a Jury of Inquest
was he'd by J. p. Deveaux, Esq, and the
evidence elected proved that deceased was
a habitualiy Incorporate man, end on the
previous night, was drunk in the alley;
that he lay down and slept there during
the night; that about five o'clock yester-
day morning he was diecovered by the
guard in dying condition, and diel n
few minutes after being first discovered
No marks Of violence were visible. and a
verdict of Died from intcmperance," was
rendered.

His language was chaste and eloquent,
and the delivery clear and Impressive, yet,
in no way bombastic.
One error we observe in most of our Lam
caster orators, which our friend Mr.. w. is
not exempt from. this is, commencing their
orations in too high strain, an unnatural
key, which instills into the audience an up.
prehensive fear, that break down will oc-
eur. It thus causes IN undefn ,ble dread to
the hearers, making hope and fear alternate
competitors for the ascendancy. Mr.. With
erspoon on the present occasion sus-
tanned himself and his speech we can
didly believe gave universal satisfac-
tion. The applause with which it was re-
ceivcd, was clearly indicative of just ap-
probation. After the address, the crowd re-
paired to the Academy Grove, where most
sumptuous repast awaited them, and to
which we are sure they did full justice. Af-
ter the dinner, the members of the Associa-
ton and others, examined stock, &C., but
we are unable TO speak of this, as a violent
headache drove us to our domicil
The Waxhaw Band was in attc ndance,
and performed well. We think they have
improved since we last heard them.

NewWay of Collecting Advertisements

The Tribune pertinaciously walked into
Gerrit Smith, and Smith says misrepre.
sented hsviews upon the slavery question,
with a studied malignancy. In order to
set himself right before the people, Mr..
Smith was Obliged to send one of his
Congressional speeches to the Tribune for
publication, rs an advertisement. Mr..
Smith sent five hundred dollars with the
speech. The editors publish the document
but grimble. and say Ave hundred dollars
a'e not enough. Where do they keep their
conscien"el- Sunday Atlas.
This is not the first time tae Tribune
has aUused man and then made him
pay for the insertion Of his own vindica-
ton. We have known the editor of that
journal to practice this system of black
mailing even for the pitifui sum of five
Dollars. And yet we sometimes see the
Tribune in the hands of gentlemen and
the names oi gentlemen in its advertising
columns.-Ncw York Mirror.
Five hundred dollars! Suppose coun-
try editor should charge man fifty dol
lars, or even twenty dollars for one inser-
ton Of an advertisement, never mind Of
what length, he would be looked upon
as an insane fool!
