Court Of Oyer and Terminer.

Judge Gillaim's first Court was q Court Of
Oyer and Terminer held in this place.
The first case brought on was the trial of
America, Daniel and Solomon, three slaves,
for the murder of Mr.. John Lockhart. a we'll
known citizen of this county. America and
Daniel were convicted of the murder. Solo
mon as an accessory before the fact. Mr..
Norwood appeared for Daniel. America and
Solomon having no council, the Court as
signed Mr.. Nash to defend Amstica and Mr..
Turner to defend Solomon.
The next arraigHment was Lucian and
Allen, for the murder of Isaac H. Strowd.-
The owners of the slaves having refused to
employ council, Messrs. Nash and Turner
were assigned by the Court to defend the
prisoners. On Saturday night about 10
O'clock the Jury rendered a verdict of guilty
as to both.
On Monday the five criminals were brought
intogCourt for sentence. The judgment Of
the Court was that they be hung on Friday,
the 10Th day of April next. The sentence
was pronounced in a most feeling and i'm
p~ressive manner, accompanied with much
good advice to the prisoners, which it is to
be hoped will have a ~salutary effect in pre-
pairing them for the awful fate that awaits
them.
A new trial has been granted to Solomon.
The Court adjourned on Monday.
We learn that the Judge gave great sat
isfaction, showing a mind quick in it's per-
~ceptions and well stored with the fruits of
much reading, study and experience, not to
be omitted or lightly valued. If those who
conferred the appointment upon Judge Gill
lain could see and hear him upon the bench,
thew will have no cause to regret the part
they bore in placing him there.
We feel it to be our duty. to disabuse the
public mind of the idea that the murder OF
Messrs. Lockhart and Strowd was caused by
a feeling of INSTRUMENTATION on the part OF
the slaves. The evidence all disclosed rea-
sons and facts going to show tina. the slaves
were moved by personal hatred and dissatis'

entitled to a few complimentary remarks than
the 23d North Carolina Regiment. 1t has
been in service nearly two years and has un-
dergone much fatigue and picket duty wa.
in the battle Of Williamsburg, Seven Pines
and in the series of battles fought around
Richmond, and from there through the Ma
ryland campaign, in which is suffesings
were intense. both in mCn and officers ; all
of the field officers have been v ounded, some
of them several times. This Regiment has
undergone long marches and been exposed
to n great deal of bad weather., without any
protection whatever except the canopy q
heaven, and still presents an appearance tha'
is an honor to themselves and gratifying Il
their noble commander. Col ID. IL. Chris
tie is a soldier by education and experience
and has the confidence Of his whole comman'
who are always ready and willing to follow
him wherever he may lead and wheneve
you hear Of this Regiment being engage

something great and noble in defence of on

Our armies in the West

Advices from the West represent our ar
mes in fine condition. A gentleman who
recently visited General Bragg's army, says
his troops were in the best spirits, and that
every confidence is felt in the issue Of the
approaching conflict, whenever it may come
Oh. General Johnston is said TO have zee
respect and confidence of his command, ai,i
our armies are represented as being evciy-
thing that could lie desired in morale, dis
cipline and efficiency. General Bragg had
entirely recuperated his command, and by
the rare tact of his as a d~iscipiinarian, had
his whole forceiin the fnesttrim. The Gem
erals of the different corpsNPolk, Breckin-
ridge and Hardee- are all on the ground,
and everything is in readiness for the enc
my whenever he shall attempt a movement.
I'VE learn every confidence is felt among
our troops that we shall be able to hold our
position in the West against any attempt
OF the enemy. Particularly is this the case
with cur garrison at Port Hudson, who are
driving back the enemy in every assault
that Is made on the place. Our force is
stronger than we had expected, and the news
We get of our position and situation there
makes us more hopeful than ever.-Rieh

The "Mississippian" contains the latest
Confederate intelligence from New Orleans
furnished by a gentleman who came direct
from that city
He says the Federal vessel Brookhn came
up to the city badly riddled, tits supposed
the damage was inflicted by Confederate war
vessels. Ten of the pilots in the Federal
blockading squadron were confined in the
Custom House for alleged treachery in per-
hitting two Confederate steamers to pass the
blockade and procure coal from two schoon-
ers inside the Yankee line. lie says the
Mississippi was sent out in chase after these
vessels eighteen days ago, and no tidings Of
her had been received. He also states that
one hundred and fifty Federal officers had ar.
rived in New Orleans, and sixty Of them
were confined in the Custom House for dis.
loyalty. 1t is the prevailing opinion among
the true men of the city that the Federals
are preparing to evacuate not only Baton
Rouge, but New Orleans also.

YANKEE MARAuDERs.-The Wilmington

YANKEE MARAUDERs.-The Wilmington
Journal Of Saturday, has the following:
After having driven in our pickets at Tren
ton, in Jones county, on Friday, 7th inst, a
force of cavalry, estimated at five hundred,
came to White Oak bridge, on Saturday night,
and on Sunday they, with g battery of artil-
lery and two brigades of infantry, crossed
over, camping that night a. Loyd's Meadow,
ten mile this side of White Oak. On Mon
day the cavalry advanced to Piney Green,
within about ten miles Of Onslow Court
House. Three of the cavalry went to the
houses of Lemuel Stiles and George Young,
! about three miles from Piney Green. They
took Mr.. Stiles prisoner, and also carried of
his horse and buggy. They also carried of
"a horse from George Young.
After this the cavalry went from Piney
! Grove to Anderson Costin's, two miles on the
road to Swansboro', taking his son, Zadeck
Costin, a discharged soldier, prisoner, anG
also carrying off a horse and buggy. From
Costin's they went to Queen's Creek, where
they took q horse and buggy from G. H
Barnum. Pursuing their way towards Swans
boro', they took prisoner Mr.. Levi Newlold,
an old man of seventy. They then pro-
ceeded to Mr.. West Morton's, within two
and a half miles of Swansboro', from which
place they took the Newborn road back tt
White Oak. What they did at Morton's o.
after leaving it, is not known.
The infantry and artillery went no farther
than Lloyd's Meadow, returning on Tuesday
within their own lines.
Upon the whole, it would appear to .hav,
been q mere stealing expedition, or wha
is now commonly called a raid.
We have these details from q well informe'
source, and believe them to be correct an
reliable. Z

SUPPRESSION OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIc.--
In the pr~csentments of the Grand Jury. of
Bib county, Ga, is the following wise and
healthful recommendation:
ave would feel that the labors of this
Grand Inquest were not completes were we to
fail to cooperate heartily with the sister
counties of the Judicial District, in their re-
concentrations to the Legislature to pass a
law for the total suppression of the retail
liquor traffic within our boundaries for one
year after the close of the present war. We
would have all the alluremsnt to vice and
the temptations to wrong doing far removed
frcm the sight of our sons, brothers and
friends, now battling for their country's lib
critics, when they return from the war; that
the joy of alb on the establishment Of peace,
with independence won, may not be disturb
cd by the boisterous mir,h of drunken rev.
elry, or any other of the miserable results Of
B~aeehanalian indulgence"
