PARTICULARS OF THE BEDFORD CHILD
CAsE.--An infant was placed
under the care of Mr.. John Morgan. its
grandfather, and was nursed by colored
giri, aged about fifteen years. Two or three
days since Mrs. Morgan had occasion to
scoid this girl for some delinquency. at
winch She showed marked signs OF anger
ana resentment. The next day Mrs. Morgan
Nisited u neighbor's house short distance
on, Leaving the child with the nurse. Du-
ring her absence the tiendish and brutal
lurse, TO crafty her anger against Mrs.
Morgan, deliberately threw the child into
the ire, and let 1t remain there until both of
It's legs Were burned of above the ank es,
causing its death. When Mrs. Morgan re-
turned, in few hours, she was hor-
rliied to see the innocent little babe
burned almost TO 4 crisp, its distorted
features indicating the terrible agonies It
had endured. The nurse, who still remained
Mt. the house, was ct once taxed with the
deed, but denied it bitterly, stating that
the chilRs legs had been eaten off bT dog
while she left only for few moments. This
tale, however, was wholly disproved by
the plain marks of the fire, and the brute
being threatened with severe punishment,
finally confessed that she committed the
HORRIBLE deed in the manner we have
stated, and assigning as her reason for it her
dissatisfaction with Mrs. Morgan. She was
then conveyed to Liberty, and committed to
Jail for trial. She should have been promptly
hung from the limb Of the first convenient
Neers. ~

EmigrantS,

High expectations are cherished on every
hand of the importance to our State of
large emigration. All parties are agreed
that the speedy prosperity of North Carolina
depends on the number and character of the
emigrants that can be induced to settle on
our uncultivated lands and improve our
unused water power We have no purpose
to advocate or to combat this notion at the
present time, but only to suggest a conside-
ration that should have weight with those
who attach much Importance to the value of
emigration. 1t is that in order to realize
such expectations, it is important to secure
the confidence of and to keep good faith
with such as visit US, or settle among US as
the pioneers of many yet to follow them.
The isolated individuals who settle in any
part of the State should becomcin each case
the nucleus Of settlements made up of their
old neighbors and friends induced by their
fair and 1lattering representations to follow
them South. If in any case they are COM
PEELED to give an unfavorable representation
of the people among whom they have made
their home, it will shut off all further immi-
grafton from that part of the country. The
treatment of all such persons should be kind,
and all dealings with them just and honora-
ble We have learned of instances that must
greatly damage the chances for emigration
to certain portions of our State One is
where negotiations have been made for land,
and when the parties came to take posses
sion and complete the contract to have the
price demanded greatly increased, or
failure altogether to convey title, and thus
place the parties away from home with their
goods and stock on hand and no place to
put them in unenviable condition and sub
ject to loss and imposition. Said breaches
of confidence will prove ruinous to all hopes
| of valuable emigration. Others again allow
themselves in their eagerness to aid tile
cause to ecaggerate the inducements for
emigrants to visit us so that they find them
selves disappointed and Disguised with the
want Of truth and fairness, and return to
their friends only to damage our prospects.
Let truth and honorable dealing not be for
gotten, and our State will not fail to attract
valuable emigrants.

County Examiners.

1t will not be deemed Impairment in
journal, always devoted TO the interests of
public school education, to call the atten-
ton of those concerned to a provision of
the act passed by the General Assembly at
its late session ito provide for system of
public instruction" The appointment of
County Examiner, and his duties are pre-
scribed in section thirty three to thirty
eight inclusive, of the act. The selection of
such Examiner is required to be made by
the Commissioners of the county. This is
fitting, for they are charged by the Constitu-
ton of the State with the supervision of the
schools of their respective counties. ILLS
This appointment is now awaiting the ac-
ton of the Commissioners of the several
counties. The character and qualification
of the appointees in this case will affect
more the success of our system of public in.
struction than any one act relating there
to- The act provides that he shall be a
PRESIDENT of the county, of good moral char
actcr, and of suitable attainments. !" A fur
Their examination of the act enumeratng the
duties to be discharged by the Examiner
will clearly show how very vitality he must
affect the credit and efficiency of the system.
To this selection, it need not be amiss to in
wife attention of the several county Boards
Men combining all the qualifications needed
are not easily found in every community, and
as it is an office far above all sectional, par
titan and denominational feeling and inter-
est, we venture to hope that the most COM
potent and best qualified men in every
county will be chosen. No real friend of
popular education will decline to serve at
this juncture when the system is about to be
initiated, although it may cost labor or sac
ritice, or even both. If the Commissioners
shall succeed in finding men of good moral
character, men of sufficient scholarship, and
men of energy and business habits, to carry
out the intention of the act, We will then
have no fears for our system of public in
strction. But an error here will, as hereto
fore, cause our public schools to linser along

whole machinery and discourage its most
