BRITISH BARQUE WICK AND MEBANE.
The above is the name of new and beau
tiful barque which sailed from Cardiff for
this port on the 18th ultimo, with a cargo
of 4SS tons Of TailIOad iron. She was
named in honor of Messrs. Wick s. Mebane,
of our city, who first introduced the direct
line between this port and Liverpool, and
is commanded by Captain Roberts, an old
and tried seaman. This will make an ad-
dition of one more to their line, and we
hope ere long that we may have Liver
pool vessel sailing every week.
AN INSTANCE.-As an instance of the
manner in which former slave owners of
this section feel and act toward those they
once held in bondage, We give the follow
/ ing: On Wednesday, at Hillsboro', Flora
Hall, coloreG, was brought to trial in the
, Orange Superior Court, on the charge of
infanticide, and acquitted. Her former
master Mr.. Henry Nutt) travelled all the
way from Wilmington to be present at the
. trial, employed her counsel at his own ex-
, pense and rendered every assistance in his
power. Still, Radical politicians and pa
pers assert that Southern gentlemen cher
ish unkindly feelings against their qUan-
dam slaves. s.--Raleigh Stntini.
