| CRIMINAL DocKET.-We were told by our
very good and intelligent Sheriff, Mr. Har-
die, few days ago, that upon enquiring,
he finds that the criminal docket Of the
Court in this judicial district shows a very
good state of morals. The number of
cases has decreased very much from what
it was some time ago.-Fay. Neecs.
REvIvAL-Quite a feryent and we'll sus-
tanned revival is now going on in the Epis-
copal Methodist Church in this town, Rev.
T. ". Guthrie, Pastor. During the past
two weeks quite large number of the con-
gregation have made profession Of religion,
and the work of conversion is still progress
ing.-Fay. Neacs
CorroN. notwithstanding the low price
of cotton, it continues to come into the
market in considerable quantities. We
observed upon our streets yesterday, sew
eral wagons laden with it. We congratrl-
late our planters, that it has at last struck
the bottom, and there is now but one way
for it to COUP. We trust the next dis
patch will bring good news for the planters.

BIRTH IN A ABAKERY.-Tuesday afternoon

~, and, while purchasing some cakes, COM
planned OF being unwell, ana retired to the
wood house i'll the yard. The de3a0uqce-
anem was arrived at by the girl becoming
mother At last accounts the mother and

SPLENDID HAuks.-The Viii, Char, and
Ruth. r. E. received their new hacks last
week, and put them on the line between
this place and Sand Hill Depot, the pres
ent western terminus Of the Eastern Divi-
sion. The hacks or rather stages, are very
substantially put mp. and comfortable for
passengers. Under proper schedule we
hope III d short time to see a heavy amount
Of travel flowing over this line between
Wilmington and Charlotte.

PETITION FOR PARDoN.-A petition fer
the pardon of VIM. J. Tolar, Thos. Pow
ers and Davio Watkins, was circulating III
the city yesterday AID had been nuncrog,@~
ly signed when it reached us.
These persons were arraigned and tried
before a military commission i'll TINS city.
It Will be remembered that they are all cit
liens OF Fayetteville, and they stood charg-
ed with the murder Of Il negro, Archer Be
bee, who committed a rape on Miss Mas
sey, u highly respectable lady of that place.
The impression has gained ground that the
trio arc under sentence OF death and
though the finding has not been promul-
gated, this early appeal for Presidential IN
terposition is wise. The respectauilitT Of
the accused and the enormity Of the darky's
offence, leave on our mind no doubt as to
the result of the application. 1t will be
successful. l.-Raleigh Progress.
LUNATIo AsYLUM.-As one evidence Of
the excellent management Of this lnstltu-
ton in all its departments, we may
mention that, under the diligent supervis-
ion Of the Superintendent, DIR. Fisher, and
the Steurd, J. H. Mcore, Esq, there is at
tachel to it, in full cultivation, the finest
garden OF winter vegeta bles, perhaps, in
the State. We have had ocular demon
stration that the turnips are particularly
large and very abundant Sentinel.
PASTORAL CA11.-We learn that the Bap-
tist congregation OF this city have invited
the Rev. Dr. Williams, of the Theological
Seminary at Greenville, S. c., to take pas
toral charge of the Church in this city.
DIR. W. is said to be divine of ripe attain
ments
Rev. DIR. Skinner, the late Pastor, will
leave for his new sphere of duty in Nash
vile, Tenn, on Monday next.

LARGE PoTATOE. We received last week
from DIR. W. c.. Ramsay the largest sweet
potatoe we have seen this season. 1t
weighed d fraction over four and half
pounds The Doctor procured the plant
ings from Wilmington last spring, and
thinks they are different from anything
heretofore planted hereabouts, the potatoes
generally being large, the yield prolific,
and the potatoes growing in clusters.
