JUDGE ELLIS AND THE DANvILLE CCNNECTIoN.-Judge

The Register is wholly in error in regard to
Judge Ellis course on the Danvllc Connection
while he was in this part of the State He never
introduced the subject at all of his accord
He said nothing aboutit at Fayetteville, Lumberton

were in the Cape Fear region. When his position
was called for, he stated it unequvocally y WI

NEW FEATURE IN LAw-At the late trial
OF Gen. Walker at Mobile for violating the neutral
ity laws, when Walker was making his defence and
speaking of his arrest by U. S. naval officers the
presiding Judge stopped him and declared that he
could not speak in disrespectu terms of the United
States Government. If this ruling is correct one
half of the members of Congress ought to be ar
rested and tried Immediately. But we imagine
his honors decision in this respect will not have a
prohbtory force.
The same Judge (Campbell) at the same time
decided that " in misdemeanos all accessories share
as principals; and the accessory is he who by hire,
commerce, eounse! or conspiracy and who by show
ing an express liking, appreciation or assent to an
illegal enterprise, does aid and abet party to
commit it" According to this, all those editors
who favored Walker and his operations, as well as
many Senators and Representatives, are liable to
prosecution. But as there is no Jail in the coun-
try half large enough to hold them, We presume
they will be excused.

HAVING for the prst eight years faithfully tried the Credit system in this vicinity, and oHnd to our sorrow that it is not only ruinous to ourselves, but tn our friends. We have therefore come to the conclusion to adopt the system oi READY PAY, confident that by So doing we can offer much greater inducements to our customers than those who sell on a Gong credit, and In many cases neuer get their pay. Consequently those who do pay are charged Much Higher Prices to make up for others deficiency.
 If you would buy goods in the cheapest possible way PAY WHEN YOU BUY. Do not be deceived by any statement that MT. Credit will make; de pend upon it it is false Credit pays a much greater price for his goods than Cash and Of course must get greater price: Cash offers us induce ments so much greater than credit can, that we have adopted his system-Quck Sales and Small Profits.

The excitement in London on account of the intro dacton of the confessional into an Episcopal church m begravla the aristocratc quarter of the city, b, Rev Alfred Poole, has accomplished it's object There was recently an open air demonstration of ten thousand of the Protestant inhabitants of Belgrva at which memorial to the Queen and petition to parliament were adopted asking that steps might be taken for the immediate suppression of the confes- sional system. The license of Rev. MT. Poole has since been revoked by the Bishop of London The fact that the devout bees who confessed to Rev Mr. Poole revealed to him certain secrets of fashionable iife that ought not to be spoken accounts doubt for the extraordinary zeal for Protestanism among the tons of Belgrayia
