A WING TRIcK.-The Asheville Spectator says,
"let the old friends and supporters of Gov More

his example by cordially supporting John A. Gill

DO not the X. Ms land Mr.. Gilmer is one of them
declare that their organization has risen on the 'ru

party? Certainly they do. But what do those

MCGOWAN on the ground. Don't know if he fired.
MCGOWAN might have killed j. H. Everett, If he had
thought proper. This closed the evidence for the
defence.
The Attorney General called Jno Spclman, Geo.
Fisher, and W. A. jenkins, who testified to the
character of MCGOWAN, as being that of an honest,
sober, and industrious man, and as being good for
truth.
The Attorney General briefly stated the grounds
upon which he would ask for the conviction of all
the parties.
Messrs. Moore and Conigland followed at consid-
cradle length, in defence
The Attorney General replied on the part of the
State
His Honor then charged the jury that the guilt Of
the parties depended upon what each one might
have done, all together. If the jury were salts
fed that they had a common design on leav-
ing Castor, that would be evidence against all. Mi
lam and Allen swore to having Simon Everett
do something in the assault, and four witnesses
swore to the part j. II. Everett took il. it. If Price
Joined in common design to do unlawful act, he
is guilty of what the others did, if present to aid
and assist If the jury were satisfied of the aban.
donment, at Weldon, of the common design, which
the defence must show to have taken place, then
Price was not guilty by reason Of what had before
been done-f suspended, only, by an imperfect re-
Cancellation, then he was guilty. His Honor pro-
ceeded, at some length with his charge upon the
various points involved IN the case, and concluded
by instructing the jury that the doctrine of ira
tional doubt, as argued by Mr. Congland, did not
apply to this class Of offences. The jury should
be led to their verdict by prcponderance of evil
dence without regard to doubts.
After an absence of about two hours the jury
turned verdict of guilty as to the Everetts-not
guilty as to Price ~
Sentence, six months Imprisonment each.

SH RPE's REFLE.-Ihs rec MY Ia
vented weapon, if it possesses one halt
the power and capacity claimed for ii
by It's proprietor, is destined to super
cede every other weapon for warlike
purposes now in existence. 1t is the
most eficacious and horrible fire arm
nov IN existence. The small earbine
now used by the United States mount
ed men, throws ball with deadly ac-
cnracy one quarter of a mile, and can
be fired ten times per minute. 1t is
not complicated in ucrure, is easily
cleaned, and suffers no injury from wet
weather.
Mr. Sharpe is now preparing models
for four new species of weapons, name
ly: small pocket-pistol, calculated to
throw a Minnie ball one hundred yards
"A rife, suitable for footmen, with
range of one mile; and large gun to
throw a two-ounce ball, or small shell.
one mile and a half, or as far as man
and a rse can be seen to advantage
With this latter weapon Mr. S. declares
he ran set on fire a house or ship at
the distance of ne; rly two miles, and
prevent the use Of field artillery by
killing the horses before the guns are
brought within good range.
This rife in the hands of a good
marksman is equal to ten muskets,
bayonets and all; for, place man six
rods distant With muSket and bayo>
net, and before he can bring the bayo
net into use, the rife can be loaded
and discharged ten times. They carry
balls with great precision and force.
Mr.. Sharpe intends these rifles to be-
come a national weapon, and should
Congress, by using little hberalily,
purchase the patent, the country would
be possessed Of means of warfare un
edualled in the world.

ARTIFICIAL GEHs.--I&e artificial
gems made by NJ. Ebelraen are Of much
note. His process resembles the solu
ton of substances in water, and the
evaporation of that water to obtain crys-
tals. Having made mixture Of aln-
mini aad magnesia, in the same propor-
ton as they exist in spinell, and ad-
ded one-half Of one per cent of bichro-
mate Of potash, he added two parts of
the mixture to one part Of fused broca-
ic acid, and exposed it in platinum,
testing in porcelain, to the heat of the
porcelain furnace at Sevres The pro-
duet contained cavities lined with mi
mute, rose red octahedfal crystals,
harder than quartz, and infusible be-
fore the blowpipe. They had all the
characters of ruby. The constituents
of emerald, treated in the same way,
Welded ANAL hexagonal crystals, hard
er than quartz, and therefore agreeing
with true emerald.

Go IN TYPo.-A friend Of ours was pros
pecting over about the West Branch conn-

habitation, and up on lofty mountain
where he could view the surrounding hills
and valleys. he cast his eyes down into
gulch so far and so steep, that he had to
look twice before he could see any thing;
when he caught a glimpse Of something
moving He was determined to see what
could have found its way into those savage
wilds, and on approaching it, he discovered
it to be light gray shirt, which he picked
up and shook out of it the late Editor of the
Oroville Reveile-Simon L. Snyder Esq.
He could give no accurate account OF his
late history, or how be came there or of the
time that had elapsed since he left the white
settlement. But one thing he did know, and
that was that he was there with pick and
shovel, and there be would stay till Gabriel

EASTERN ELEcTIoN NEws.-The late cleo

there is IA political revolution at work all
over the country. In Kentucky and North
Carolina, it is developing itself against Mr..
Fillmore In Arkansas, strangely enough,
it appears to have gone against Buchanan,
and given Mr.. Fillmore prospect Of one
State, and that one the least of Al. to be ex-
pected--Arkansas. In Missouri, the cleo
ton of Blair to Congress, Free Soiler, is a
remarkable sign of the times; and the vic
tory of the Fremont party in Iowa. is an
illustration of the popular .fitrore for Ere
mont. These election, as thus far reported,
show that the battle is between Fremont
and Buchanan.
