KATHLEEN MAvOURNEEN.-A new version of
this beautiful ballad will be found in another
column of this mornings CRESCENT. The author is
not unknown to fame. Col. s. N. Moody, the
great "shirt king" corner of Canal and Royal
streets, deserves decided credit for his poetical
ingenuity, and shows as much ability in rhyming
as skill and judgment in the making of shirts and
the selecting of goods. His stock of shirts and
furnishing goods is complete in every particular,
and embraces every thing in this line that is de.
sirable both as to style and quality. Another
large invoice of those excellent shirts, SIX for
SO, will arrive on Tuesday, the eth inst. Parties
should bear in mind that at Moody's shirt EN-.
pOrium there is one of the cheapest and best as
sentiments of home made and imported goods in
the city.

There is great excitement in Hawkins county,
Tenn, among the spectators in mineral lands.
A company who have for several months been
boring for SALT six miles north of Rodgersvlle on
Big Poor Valley, have at a depth Of $50 feet,
struck flowing spring Of brine, equal to that of
the virginia salt works, which flows from the top
OF the well. The well was bored through soil for
300 feet, and the last sixty feet or so was through
solid rock. This would indicate that the supply Of
salt water is condensed into a lake similar to that
OF Kings salt works in Virginia. The water is
very strongly saturated with SAL. and only few
gallons are required to make q pound Of salt.
company intends putting up kettles and other
apparatus at once in order 20 commence the
manufacture Of salt. The we'll 10 surrounded by
an unlimited quantity of timber, and there will be
no trouble IN procuring fuel for the eysporstiDg

REMARKABLE COURT PROCEEDINGS Some
of the incidents that have occurred at the
Court House IF this county during the January
term of the County Court have been, to tone
them down, at least remarkable, but yesterday
evening proceedings deserve special mention.
About haf.past four o clock, during the trial Of
John Hodgkin, on the charge of resisting the
authority of a. ciVil officer, in response to
question asked by one Of the counsel for the
defense, the witness, George w. Rock, Deputy
Sheriff, answered that he had known the rris.
ouer st the bar all his ite-had gone to school
with him--but had lost sight of him tor num-
Der of years, until, while on visit to relative
in Loudoun county, nine or ten years ago, he
had seen him, while a camp meeting was In
progress in the neighborhood, at what is called
Dirty Camp, selling liquor, betting at sweat,
playing at cards, and cock fighting. The wit
ness was at this point interrupted by the prlso-
ncr, who, setting by the side Of one OF bis coun-
sci, Geo. Tucker, said in loud voice, GU re
a liar" Great excitement Immediately ensued
among the crowd which at the time filed the
Court House. The witness, facing the Court,
composed of Lewis Mckenzie, Presiding JUS
tees, and Associate Justices Berkley and
Moore, appealed to it to protect its own dignity,
and not sllow that dignity to be assailed by
scurrilous epithets applied to the witness on the
stand who was the Deputy Sheriff OF the
county of Alexandria; and remarking Il
suppose that if were to choke the dirty dog |
would be sent to jail for it. .
Presiding Justice don't know whether
you would or not. =
Deputy Sheriff Then I'll proceed to do
so, Course u l.&
and leaving the witness box the Deputy
Sheriff advanced towards the prisoner, and had
lust reached, him when Messrs. Richard Rudd
and James M. Steuart INTERVIEWED, and shc lat
ter; the Sheriff Of the county, proclaimed that,
as executive officer of the Court, he would see
that its peace and order should be preserved
Order having been restored, Mr.. Willoughby,
Commonwealth s Attorney, arose, and IN few
words impressed upon the Court the necessity
of preserving andSmaintaining its dignity, and,
as summary condemnation Of the incident
that had just occurred, thought that fine
should at once be imposed upon the prisoner
for the language he had applied towards the
witness. 49, t,ta
IS The Court agreed with the opinion OF the
Commonwealth Attorney, and ordered the
clerk TO enter,a, fine against the prisoner, and
that until it was paid he should be committed
to: Jail. ~ &1a t,.:a ~
Geo. Tucker condemned the action of the
Court, and characterized lis proceedings III i'm
posing fine upon his client as an outrage.
Mr.. Willoughby suggested that in order to
pursue the course the Court had adopted, it
would be necessary to impose fine upon Geo
Tucker for. the reproach he had just cast upon
its action. a aa@i .15525s
The suggestion Of Mr.. Wil|oughby was ap-
proved blythe Court, who ordered the clerk to
enter a fine against Tucker for $50.
