PATRLE AMOR NvNQUAM DIscEDIT.
The Floral kingdom loads the air
With perfume from her countless flowers
The odors filling Heaven so fair
Seem but the doors priced as ours.
Yet there reigns, tits fifty said,
A blossom more choice than others found;
That scents not till, with roughness babe,
It's leaves lie scattered on the ground.
So with the noble Patriot dead
We lay, to-day, amid this spot
The Living die (as thus twas said J.

THE RECENT MURDER. tragedy en-
acted in Lenoir county last Thursday, was
one of the most horrible that we have been
called upon, as a public Journalists to note,
even in these days of rapidly recurring
horrors.
The wife of an inofensive citizen, while
quietly attending to her domestic affairs,
unsuspicious Of danger, is brutally dragged
from her kitchen to the house; her skull
fractured, and her body otherwise mutila-
ted. The house is then plundeled, and the
perpetrators of this atrocity go to the field
where the husband is ploughing; seize him;
take him to the WoOds-anl with his
plough-lines hang him.
These fiendish murders were perpetrated
in the county Of Lenoir, u miles southeast
Of Kinston. The innocent victims were
Mr.. John Miller and his wife among the
most highly esteemed and estimable of their
section The eile miscreants who murdered
them were three negroes. The blood of
these innocent persons cries aloud for ven
geance.-Newbern jour. of Com.

RENToN.-On Sunday, the End, Bishop A.
kinson held Divine service in Emmanuel
Church in this place, and, after sermon
of unusual power and aptness of illustration
he confirmed fourteen persons. The Sac

ministered, and larger number commun'-
Gated than we remember ever to have VII
messed i'll so small a village on a similar oc-
casion.
These services, which continued several
hours, were Of a deeply interesting charac-
ter, and while the Bishop pointed out the
chief causes why SO many more females
than of the other sex are members Of the
Church in the present age, at least III this
country, which was not the case in former
ages, and described the perilous condition
into which the maxims and customs of the
male sex have brought them, there We're
manifest tokens of deep feeling and great
searchipgs of heart among the thinking
portion of the congregation. A rain in the
afternoon, which continued till late hour
in the night, prevented a second service !;
