PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME IN NORTH CARO-


A correspondent of the New Haven Reqister gives
us some insight into the manner in which criminal,
and dellnquents are punished in the ''Old NORTH
State" He writes:
"The administration of justice in North Caroline
IS much less mild than in many of her sister States
Having no State Prison. the old punishments OF
the English Common Law are still inflicted; such a.
branding, whipping, cropping the ears, &C.
"on beautiful May morning strolled into the
temple where the goddess of the sword and scale,
and the bandaged eyes is supposed to preside. Ir
one of the passages encountered the High Sheriff
OF the county, carrying tinker's furnace in one
hand and what seemed to me soldering-iron in the
other. On inquiring whose guide wife's pans he
was going to mend, he informed me that he wa,
about to brand a who had just been convicted
OF bigamy. curiosity, which | was ashamed G.
put could not resist led me into the courtroom
found it crowded. In few minutes the JUDGE en-
tered, and taking his seat upon the bench ,,ih hi
hat on, Judges here sit corered) ordered the crer
to open the court That important functionarv
then stepped to an open window, put out his head
~ FED three times, and the Honorable the Su
perior Court was opened in due form. The
prisoner was then brought in by the Sheriff and
assistant; whereupon his counsel moved for q
new trial, on the ground that the defendant had
been unable to procure the attendance OF
all his witnesses. His honor inquired if he could
give the requisite security. On being answered
in the negative, Then said his honor. 1et
the sentence of the Court be executed forth
with
The Sheriff and his, deputy then blindfolded the
prisoner, tied his hands, and bound his head firmly
to the bar. Taking the branding iron from the
furnace, the Sheriff applied it redhot to the right
cheek of the bigamist, burning plain letter B, an
inch and half long, and nearly half an inch deep.
The prisoner was then remanded to Jail, where his
head and hands were introduced into the pillory,
and forty stripes save one were applied to his
bare back, after which he was discharged.
'Every Jail in North Carolina is provided with a
whipping post, stocks and pillory. Murder, rape,
aren BURGLARY and all the hiph crimes nd misc
meanors, are punished with death; mansaughter

We have given up all of our available space to-
dav, to the exclusion of much editorial and other
matter to make room for the publication of full
report of Yesterdays proceedings in the Slave
Holders Convention; it will be found by far the
most complete report published, and forms in itself
an interesting and not uninstructive chapter in
the history of our State. We also publish among
our telegrams, a Special Despatch, containing
many interesting details of foreign news re-
ceived by the africa, in addition to those
contained in the General Newspaper Despatch, for
warded by the Agent of the Associated Press. 1t
will be seen that the danger of general Cont
mental war is apparently much more imminent
now, than at any time heretofore. In the present
highly combusibe state of Europe, it would re-
quire but single spark-the slightest collision be-
tween belligerent France and neutral Germany
TO set the whole mass in fame.

There 10 tremendous food in the upper Missis-
sippi Great losses have been sustained at ST. Paus,
Brooklyn. and other places friend has kindl y
placed at our disposal the following graphic descrip-
tion of the scene at the Falls of St. Anthony:
M1NxEAPoLIs, June 4, 1859.
The Minneapolitans, of both genders are in a
good deal of excitement just now, owing to the long
protracted freshet in the Mississippi, and the
Levees are thronged daily, and especially after tea,
by the elite and rabble of the two cities. The chief
place of gathering is the very brink of the Falls,
which are very grand now, to witness their rapid
ly changing character, and to see the wreck of
matter washing them. The loss of property
must be estimated by hundreds of thousands, and
many will be ruined wholly. 1t is melancholy to
note the destruction going on before very faces
and feel that We are poweress to prevent it. One
Company have lost all their logs-miUions of feet
worth $4,000. Another boom gave way above us
yesterday worth double that amount One bridge
below the Falls, beautiful structure, fell while we
were looking on last evening; and another some
miles above gave way at noon, but fortunately
lodged on some Island, or it would have brought
destruction upon the two remaining here. Indeed,
the upper bridge is expected to move every
hour, and that will carry with it our splendid sus-
pension bridge. The Falls have receded fifth feet
within three days, and the noise of the underrun-
ming rocks is like the report of cannon heard above
the terrible cataract's roar. A shingle mill was
swept off yesterday with all its machinery and if
the water rises more, little will be saved. 1t is
dreadful to think of it, while every thing and every
body is so depressed inthis fine town. But, OH the
weather. We are wearing overcoats and sitting
by fires yet, and whether We are to have summer
at all is question.
p. S.-The upper bridge is gone, but the suspen-
sion is safe

WIFE PoISoNING.--A man named Cole was pre-
vailed on by certain DR.. Wickham, at Port Jer-
Wis, New Jersey, to get his wfe's life insured for
1000, and then put her to death on shares, Cole
finding the wife, and the Doctor the drugs. The
poor woman had just given birth to child, and
was doing well, when Wickham was called in to
see her, and administered to her dose which ended
her existence in twenty minutes. She was buried
without suspicion, and nothing but the extreme
anxiety of the wretches to touch the insurance mo-
ney aroused the company's vigilance, and
post mortem examination, revealed a large
amount of arsenic in her stomach. Cole was ar
rested and made confession, but the master vii
lain was allowed to escape.
