Bsa@ Yesterday afternoon the two young men, B. w
Duncan and John F. Wilkeson arrested the charge
of committing deprcdations the U. S. Mail between
Robeson's 2. O. on the Wilmington and Manchester
Rail Road and Eizabethtown, Bladen county. were
brought up for examination before T. w. Brown Jr,
Esq, U. S. Commissioner in the U. S. Court Room.
At the special request of Robert P. Dick ESQ.,, Z.
S. District Attorney who was unable to attend, Eli W.
Hall, Esq., appeared for the Government A. M. Wad-
dell and Adam Empe, Esqrs appeared for the prisoner
Duncan. M. B. Smith, Esq, and Messrs Miller and
Baker appeared for the prisoner Wilkeson.
Duncan, who was the mail carrier on the route, is
quite youth not than sixteen years old apparent
ly and appears like SOFT innocent sort of boy-says
be cannot read or write. Wilkeson is quite likely
young man, apparently about 20 or 81 years of age
The testimony adduccd consists of the confession of
Duncan, who says that Wilkeson got into his sulky
with him, and suggested the robbng, telling him they
could make raise WkesOn abstracted the letters and
took out their contents They then buried them near Ham,
monds creek This thing had been done three times The
boy stated that his confession finally made voluntarily
offered John A Richardson, Esq, of Elizabethtown tes
titled to the fact of this confession having been made
and to its substance.
Other witnesses testified to the arrest OF Duncan etc.
to the fact of Wikeson's having in bis possession
large sums of money which gave rise to suspicion
Also to his anxiety to change off bills for gold and to
getsma notes fer $50 bill, requesting the gentleman
from whom he to get the change to say nothing
about it.
After full hearing Mr.. Brown committed the priso-
ncrs to jail to await their trial before the u s. Circuit
Court in June next default of bail in the amount of
S. 900 each. Mr.. Brown conducted the examination
with much credit to himself
There evidently sufficient testimony to justify the
binding of the prisoners for trial. their
initial in default of bail. OF the merits Of the case be-
fore jury, do not think proper to express any opn
ion at this time The younger boy, Duncan is said to
have borne very excellent character heretofore OF
the other prisoner know nothing. His father bears
the reputation of being worthy man.

The WIlmlngto Charlotte and Rutherford IL. II.
Company.
1t is known that the Legislature of North Carolina
at its last session passed amendment to the charter of
this Company, apparently insignificant but really i'm
portant The original charter provides for the endorse
ment by the State Of the bonds of the Company to the
amount of $4,000 per mic such endorsement to be called
for by sections the first 70 miles of the road to be con-
structed and in operation before the States endorsement
could be available to that amount and so on with the
several sections until the road shall have been completed
The amendment of the last Legislature provides that
instead of the State endorsing the bonds of the Com
pany to the amount of $4,000 for each mile, she shall
issue to the Company her bonds TO that amount in ex
change for the Company's bonds to a corresponding
amount the State to be secured as provided in the orr
ginal bill.
The effect OF this change will be- that while the re
sponSbity of the State will not be at all increased the
amount of nett receipts from the sale of State bonds will
be decidedly greater than from the sale of similar
amount of bonds of the Company endorsed by the State
1t is said that the difference will not be less than eel
or twenty per cent.
The representatives of the counties along the line ar
entitled to much credit for their persevcring and sue
cessful excrtions

Desmartes, Of Bordeaux has published in the
AbeilIe Medicale the result OF four wears ey-
perIcnce, IN reference to the curative effects
of the sap OF the pine tree III consumption. -.
One instance quoted is ola young lady, whose
father, mother, sister, and other relations
had all died OF the disorder. She was aff1ict-
ed with violent retchng and splitting of blood
and all the symptoms Of an advanced rul-
monary consumption were ascertainc,i by
ausculation. The splitting of blood was
stopped by administering one drachm of pow
dered rue per day. DIR. Desmartes consid-
ers rue, RUTA GRAvEoLETs, to be one Of ths4
best hamostatcs known.l After which the
patient took bottle of pine sap per day for
the space Of two months and half; al the
eud of which time every alarming symptom
had disappeared. The patient suffered no
relapse. He quotes many other instances.
Pine sap usually purges IN the beginning.
but this effect, which is purely eliminating
soon ceases.
