RALEIGH, July 81.
Geo. Williamson, citizen of Casswell, went
to serve writs of habeas corpus, issued by the
Chief Justice in behalf OF Hon. John Kerr and
other citizens of Casswell who were arrested
by Kirk. Kirk ordered him to leave, or he
would have him fred on. Williamson made
a return to the Chief Justice In accordance
with the facts. The Chief Justice decided the
wrlts had not been properly served: First,
Because Williamson was not appointed by the
Chiel Justice to make such service; second,
being Citizen OF Casswel, he was an insur-
gent, therefore he could not serve writs. The
Chief Justice reafirms his opinion that the
writ of habeas corpus was not suspended,
and ordered the marshal of the Supreme
Court to go to Casswell and serve the writs.
There is not, nor has there been, any disturb
ance or resistance to law in any part of the
State.
A telegram from Hillsboro', just read, says
Kinks men arrested thirty citizens Of Ala
nance to-day. They hung William Patten, a
respectable citizen, three times, cutting him
down each time, to make him confess who
murdered negro outlaw. The last time it
was an hour before he recovered. He made
no confession.

WAIHALLA, July rs.
This place, at which we arrived yesterday
evening, from Anderson Courthouse, is well
known to many of the people Of the State as
one of the most delightfully."- located and healthy
spots in the Palmetto State. It has thrifty
and energetic population, which is plainly de-
noted by the appearance Of the houses, gar
dens, stores, churches, public buildings, &c.
At this very time, there are more buildings in
course of construction than at all OF the points
in this section of the State combined.
To-day, at II. o'clock, at the courthouse,
were the time and place designated for the ad-
dress from the leaders Of the Union Reform
movement. At the hour named, The court
house, capable OF containing eight hundred
people, was literally jammed, and many had to

mittance.
