TRIAL OF THE INSURGENTS.

Brown, the leader of the abolition conspiracy at
Harpers Ferry, was tried at Charlestown, Va, last
week. He was convicted of Treason in conspiring
with slaves and others to rebel, and of Murder in
the first degree, and was sentenced to be hung on
the I'd day of December. Brown made a speech
justifying his conduct.
Two Virginia lawyers, Bolts and Green, were
appointed by the Court to defend Brown. They
discharged the duty until Brown got mad and de-
clared that the trial was a mockery and said he
had no confidence in his counsel After this, Bolts
and Green declined to further act in the case
A lawyer from Washington, Chiffon, one from Bos-
ton, Hoyt and one or two from Ohio, then under
took Browns defence. During the trial Brown
lay IN the Court room a cot, and by words as
sumed defiant attitude.
CHARLEsTowS, Nov. 3rd.-Browns counsel will
carry his up to the Court of Appeals their bill
of exceptions.
SERIOUS AFFRAY.-A correspondent of the
Petersburg Express, writing from Jackson, North
ampton county, N. c., says:
a regret to have to announce very sad &C.
currence which took place in Jackson, between
Mr. Bartholomew Moore Of Raleigh, and John NJ
Moody, Esq, of Northampton.
After the adjournment of Court Mr. Moore was
walking down the street, when Mr. Moody accosted
him and told him he desired to see him. In the
conversation angry words ensued, when Mr. Moore
with drawn knife attempted to cut or stab Mr.
Moody. Mr. Moody struck Mr. Moore with his
walking several ticks, telling him to the
ground in disabled condition. Mr. Moore when
he fell cried out, "IIelp, my is broken :" when
Mr. Moody desisted, and the parties were separated
Mr. Moore's dislocated and broken, and he
otherwise injured. His wounds are very pain
full and he is entirely PROSTATE. Mr. Moody for
tunately escaped injury, the knife entering his
clothing only. Mr. Moore is of the most emf
nent members of the North Carolina Bar. He
was formerly Attorney General of North Carolina,
and member of the Legislature.
Mr. Moody is wealthy farmer, and was for a
number of years member of the State Senate,
and is now magistrate in the county. The par
ties had been on the most intimate terms for
long series of years, until recently, and taking into
consideration their position in Society, this sad
event is to be greatly deplored.
The Raleigh Register of Saturday says it has not
heard the particulars of the aray, but it thinks the
above statement is incorrect.

Indiana was great State for producing corn; we
were once told by resident of that State that
farmers merely punched hole in the ground with
the hoe-hande, dropped the corn in, and mashed
the dirt over it with their heel, and without fur
Their work an abundant crop was produced. We
thought that pretty hard story; but if the follow
ing is true We are constrained to consider Indiana
great State for corn:
Prize Ararded.-The Indians State Agrcul-
tural Society have awarded the prize for the best
crop of corn to farmer who produced proof that
ten averaged l75 bushels per acre. On the
best five acres the first premium was awarded on
lS6 bushels to the acre, and the same person had
incontestiblc evidence that one of these acres
there grew t,eo Au"dred and fourteen bushels
Tie Fault ofhe Harper's Ferry Populations
The Alexandria Sentinel, deprecatns the censure
cast on the people of Harper's Ferry for permit
ting themselves to be overpowered and kept down
so long by SO small band even Of bloody minded
desperadoes, says:
The true fault lay in not being organized and
ready for such occasions; and in this deficiency
Harpers Ferry, though now the illustration, is far
from being the only example. Let this be correct
ed. Let volunteer companies composed OF our
best men, be revived and kept ready to march at
the second tap of the drum, Let them be fostered
and encouraged by the people. One such CONF
pnny IN HdIper's Frrry, led By q man Of nerUe,
,could hare taken Brorn and his band before the
necs could hare gone abroad. They would have
afforded the nucleus for general rally of the peo-
pie, and in one hour the whole town would have
been In arms.
These remarks Of the Sentinel are worth the at
tention ofevery southern community, and we COM
mend them to all wherever our paper has any cir
culation. Encourage volunteer companics-cn-
courage their formation by the bone and sinew OF
the community.
TYPHOID FEvER-We learn that this disease
has prevailed to a considerable extent in this sec
tion during the past month, though not fatal in
many cases. We do not know that there have
been any cases in this Town, but in some parts
of the county and the country adjacent it is said
the disease has been quite prevalent. We find IN
the Franklin Observer Ga paper published in Ma
county, ~ Co. a communication from DIR.
Foreman stating that there has been number of
deaths in the Mountain country from typhoid tc-
yer. The DIR. notices at length what is supposed
to be the cause of this fever. He says a think
medical gentlemen must look for some other causes
of typhoid fever in mountain countries than ado
or k0ino miasmate. Our medical gentlemen have
long been searching after the of typhoidism
in the surrounding atmosphere, aud have hardly
thought to look for it in tho food taken into tic
stomach"

HORRIBLE MURDER IN YANCY-A bloody af
fray occurred at huntsville, in the Joining Coun-
ty of Yancy, on Friday night last between Big
Jim Boone and Gen. A +. Keith, which resulted
in the death of the latter. The circumstances
our informants state were about as follows: Keith
entered a room in hotel about midnight, and
having lighted his pipe seated himself on the side
of bed, when Boon entered the room, and after
few angry words B. caught K. by the hair and
threw him on the floor, and with large knife
inflicted some nine or ten stabs in the throat breast
and back; either would have proven fatal
He expired in a few minutes after, and was found
weltering in his blood. Boon made his escape and
is supposed to have gone to Tennessee. A reward
of 500 is offered by the County Court, and the
Governor has offered $3.50 more for his appre-
hension.-AshrtNe Nccs.

SCoLD1NG WIvEs.-At the Fall Term of the
Court for Anderson District, S. c., Mrs. Nancy
Stevenson was put upon her trial charged with
being common scold. The case elected the
best legal ability, and attracted much public
interest The following was the verdict of the
Court
"On hearing the motion in this case, it is ordered
that the indictment be quashed, on the ground
that it is not ndictable offence, that portion of
the common law relating to this offence being
obsolete in South Carolina"

Next year is the time FOR taking the U s.
Census The imperfect manner in which
ceususos have been taken, may in great
measure be avoided, by a little attention this
fall The itea is well urged by southern
editor thus --"Now what We suggest is, that
each farmer this fall as he gathers his crops
shall keep something like accurate accounts
Of the quantity and value Of the same and,
if he will take the trouble TO make out the
statement of the names and ages Of his fami
ly; the number Of acres Of land, cleared and
tmbered the number and ages Of his serv
ants; the number and value Of his horses
aud mules; the number Of bales of cotton,
barrels of corn, bushels of wheat, oats, rye,
harley, potatoes, &c, and the value Of each
and leave it in some place where any member
Of the family who may be at home when the
Deputy Marshal shall call, can readily get
hold Of it, it viii save time to all concerned,
and very greatly assist 20 make the census
returns perfect, complete and satisfactory.
