scoundrel, but was almost immediately compelled

from the fearful fate with which they were threat

circumstances and left. He is still at large.
Raleigh Progress.
The Salisbury correspondent of the Raleigh
Progress saws that vrs multitude of negroes
from South Carolina, in starving condition,
have arrived in Charlotte on their way up through
this State, with reports Of thousands following
after them.
Messrs Northup & Clemmons, of Wilmington.
have ordered silver cup for Mr.. E. s. Moody, OF
Marion s. G., as prize for the bale OF cotton re-
gently sent to that port..; .
W. Ames is Postmaster at Mosely Hall, Lenoir
County.
The Cape Fear River is still very low.
New CorroN.-The ssfrst bale' of new N. O.
cotton was received at Newbern, on The 25th inst,
and was raised by Maj Barrett, of Lenoir County;
It's weight was 425 pounds, and it was purchased
bys T. Jones Co., at thirty cents per pound. nd
ed to Col Barrett the prize of q silver goblet,
offered by Mitchell, Allen & Co., and gold pieco
(twenty dolars) by s. I. Jones g. Co. This cot
ion is pronounced to be OF fine stape and is class
ed as .smiddling fair"
The Goldsboro News says that the first bale OF
Goldsboro' on Monday, from the farm OF Messrs.
J. X. Miller & Co., and aas at once forwarded to
Messrs. Andrews g. Barden, at Wilmington, by
Southern Express, free Of charge. 1t weighed
406 pounds.
We learn that this bale was received on yester-
day by Messrs Andrews & Barden, but whether it
received the "three cheers and the solid silver
cup' that the News claimed for it, We have not
been informed.
The Newbern folks went into exstaces over
their "new cotton" and paraded it through the
streets, with music and banners.
It is now certain that the people Of North Caro-
lima have rejeo,e ed the amendments to their Con-
sttution proposed by their Convention at it's late
session. Returns from all but twelve counties
show q majority for rejection of 1862, and the re-
naming counties are likely to ncreaseit.
WAKE County OouRT-The term of Wake County
Court held here last week, was probably the most
laborious in the history of the county. Nearly
the entire term was consumed in considering anu
dispoeing Of indictments for offences not extend;
ing to life OF, limb. One white man and several
color ed men were whipped for stealing. It is to
be regretted there was nc authority to continue
the court another week. If this could have been
done, the probability is that all the business would
have been transacted Rtleigh Standard.
REL1EvED.-Majar Francis E. Wolcott, Judge.
lina, has been relieved from duty on the staff OF
the Commanding General having been ordered to
his home preparatory to muster out OF service.
