process, according to correspondent

corn is placed, and layer Of grass over

~ The Charleston INercurv has

~ The Charleston Mercury has a
strong article against the re-opening
Of the African slave trade. 1t says:
We object to making the reopen
ing of the slave trade an issue in the
politics of the country, and for several
reasons.
81. Because if hereafter, and under
other circumstances, it might be wise
and safe to revive the trade, it is not
now, in the present relationship of the
South and North.
80. Because it is now impracticable
and idle. The idea is based upon
entire ignorance and visionary con-
ception of the relative positions of the
North and South. No man who com
prehends the antagonism of sentiment
and political interests existing between
the sect'ons-no man who appreciates
the division OF opinion existing at the
sonth-can entertain the expectation
Of accomplishing the rcopening Of this
trade so long as The Union lasts.
80. Because it is mischievous
issue. 1t is subject on which there
may we'll be difference of opinion
without blame. 1t is no test of sound
ness to Southern institutions. It
lowers the moral position of the South
ern people from one of high principles
OF liberty in defence of valued rights to
a mere question Of policy about which
we are profoundly divided"

~ North Carolina is not as pro-
gressive as many Of her sister States.
A few days ago a fellow was convicted
Of bigamy there, and the following is
the account the newspapers give OF
the execution of the sentence against
the evil-docr:
"The sheriff and his deputy then
blindfoldcd the prisoner. tied his hands,
and bound his head firmly to the bar.
Taking the branding iron from the
furnace, the sheriff applied it red hot
to the cheek of the bigamist, burning
a plain letter B an inch and hall
long, and nearly an inch deep. Tie
prisoner was then remanded to Jail,
where bis head and hands we're intro.
duced into the pillory, and forty
stripes save one" were applied to his
bare back after which he was dis
charged"
Every Jail IN North Carolina is pro-
vided with whipping post, stocks and
pillory. Murder, rape, arson, burglary,
and the higher crimes and INSIDE
meanors, are punished with death
manslaughter by branding the letter
NJ in the right hand. The convict's
hand is bound to the bar, and the
branding iron held upon the palm
until he can say, "God save the State

who shutters generally has his hand
