GENERAL. SICKLES' ORDERS AND
JURIES,


We learn from the Tarboro' Southerner, that
the Court of Oyer and Terminer, held during
the past week in Tarboro', adjourned without
trying the negroes, John Taylor aud Jim Knight,
charged with the murder of Mr. Cutchin, on ac-
count of the ruling of the presiding Judge
(Barnes) In regard to the effect of Gen. Sickles'
Order No. 32, in respect to the selection of
jurors. The counsel for the prisoners. Judge
Biggs and Mr. W. FL. Johnston, asked the Court
to instruct the Sheriff to summon all the citi.
but the Sheriff was directed to summon from a
jury list Of tae payers prepared by the prope,
| c6fcers.
Upon the call Of the case, the Sheriff returned
that, as the County Court had not revised the
jury list, since the order of General Sickes, he
had summoned only white freeholders. The
counsel for defence challenged the array and
demanded trial at this term or to be discharged
This point was fully argued by Judge Howard
for the State, and Judge Bggs for the prs-
| oners The Judge overruled the challenge and
, suggested that be would continue the case, if
an affidavit was made that it was doubtful
whether fair trial could be had from the pre-
sent panel. The counsel for the prisoners iu,
sisted upon a trial, and tina: veaire should at
once be formed from the ax-payers, according
to the order of General Sickles, and declined to
ask for continuance.
The Court, after deliberation, decided, with
the consent of the Attorney General, that, as
doubts existed whether legal jury could now
be obtained for want Of a jury list, (Which, ac-
cordng to his construction of the order ne
cessary) he would continue the case, and re-
fused to discharge the prisoners The result of
this decision is that the Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner has proved utterly fruitess for the trial
of number of cases, and the Court Immediate
ly adjourned.
We suppose the order Of General Sickles was
issued to aid in the suppression of crime and the
punishment Of criminals, but We fear this change
in the qualifications of jurymen will not only
serve to retard the course of justice, as in this
case, but will frequently defeat it. flour Grim
nal laws nterfered with much more, and
crimes, when committed by certain parties Of
our citizens allowed to 90 uhpunished, or
inadequately dealt with, we very much fear our
District Commander will not be warranted in
repeating, a few months hence, what he SO truly
said of us in his Chapel Hill speech, that
s'No people of whom have read, or among
whom have lived, could bear themselves with
more honor, diynity and order, than this peo.
pie have exhibited under the peculiar circum-
stances"
We know not how far this order will interfere
with the cause Of justice in courts, but we
greatly fear that its operation will render jury
trials so much Of farce that military tribunals
under charge of educated and honorable officers,
whether life or property be at stake, will be de-
cidedly preferable.-W Wilmington Journal.

PRAYING FOR A HUSBAND.

A correspondent of the Rochelle (Illnois)
Register locates the following near that place.
Though the story is considerably older than the
correspondent, it is worth reading: ....... ,.
ga young lady heard that if she would 90 out
and pray three successive Dights she would learn
who she would marry. Now, it happened that
her father had young man 10 bis employ who
had considerable wit and good humor about
him. One evening he was out in an apple tree
after fruit, when he heard some one praying
something like this: 80, who will marry 2"
The idea popped into Doyles Chat being the
young mans name) mind that be would have
little sport at her expense. So be spoke in Q
changed voice, and said, "Doyle" "No, not
Doyle" cried the astouished young lady. "Yes,
Doyle, or no one" again sounded from the tree
top in sober, hollow voice. She arose and
entered the house, resolved to try again the next
evening. Of course Doyle did not wish to spoil
the fun, and 50 the next evening found him
seated in the tree top He did not have long
to wait before the young husband seeker eame,
and commenced praying in the same way that
she did the preceding evening, and received the
same answer. The next evening also found her
under the tree pleading to know Der future hus-
bands name, and again she heard the answer,
Doyle, or no one" She arose, feeling satisfied
that she must marry Doyle The next morning
she met him and asked him why he did not
dress up and put on better clothes. lie said he
was not able "Well," said she, "father is rich,
aud he will let you have money" lie took that
for pretty good hint and bought suit Of new
clothes. La short time he offered bis heart
and hand, and was accepted. After their mar
riage, he told her how her prayers were an.
swered. If any of the fair readers of this story
should think Of praying for husband, do not
60 under tree, or il you do, be sure and ex-
anime it closely and see if there is any one to
answer It," go

A CHICAGO WILLIAM IN NEWBERN, n. O.
Some time since Capt. Chase, representing
himself from Chicago-he greatly desired to be
called "Ma jor"-wooed and won the heart and
hand Of fair young damsel as graced the
city of Newbern. She was young, beautiful
and accomplished; and stood high 10 all the
virtues that adorn true woman. She was
greatly esteemed by all who knew her, but of a
too fond and confding disposition; she easily
fell victim to the cunning articles Of the vii
ian.
Confding her all in the man SIZE loved, she
was induced to become his wife, and for three
short days she was happy in the enjoyment of
connubial bliss. But a change came DER the
spirit oil her dream" Her husband feigned
business at Roanoke Island, and has not re-
turned. She has learned that he has wife and
children in Chicago. For three months she has
been confined to her bed with slow fever and
evidently declining with that slow, but certain
destroyer, consumption, caused from broken
heart.
Gods righteous jud ement will surely over
take such fend in mans FORM Chicago

Why will females take up with strangers and

A SAD STORY.

The Watertown "Reformer" gives the details
of sad chapter in the recent disaster on Lake
Ontario. Among the passengers of the steamer
Wisconsin, burned near Cape Vincent, was a
Mr. Chisholm, from Canada, on his way to Mis-
souri,, in company with his wife and six chill
dren. He was maa about 50 years old, had
bought farm in the State to which he was
travelling and was moving With his family and
goods When the fire broke out he was sitting
on deck, but his wife and children had retired
for the night. lie called them up hurriedly
and sought to save their lives in most unfor-
tuuate way One Of the small boats was let
down to about foot of the water, and about
twenty passengers leaped into it, and Mr. CHS
holm assisted his wife, three daughters and a
son to get in One of The frightened crowd cut
with knife the rope which connected the bow
Of the small boal with the davit, and the loosen
ed end dropped like spoon, and at once filled
with water.
The passengers were all thrown out and near

a minute and half before the steamer struck
the shore on Grenadier Islands, and had all re-
NAMED Oh board the captain ordered, not a

three daughters, aged respectively twenty, seven
and fifteen and the boy of eleven years, were

Mr. Chisholm had $4,000 in greenbacks, his on

was destroyed by the flames Thus he was left
in strange land, widower, bereft of four chill

grief resting upon his soul, to commence the
world anew. The bodies of his wife and chii-
dren were recovered and have been inferred 10
