ever low, who knows any master save
God; none, however high. who is

The Court hopes it may yet reach
the chief criminal OF the State, and
show that, however strong, his power
may be broken by the iron hand of the
law. The Court had hoped that in this
trial the opportunity would have
shown itself; but that hope has been
defeated.
Henry A. Smith, stand no. You are
charged with wilful neglect of duty, in
this, that you failed to turn over the
public moneys, in compliance with the
statute. The Court imposes the SEN
tence with sorrow, believing that of all
persons concerned, you are tho lenst
guilty. and that by some hallucina-
ton, which sometimes sways the minds
of mon. you have resolved to sacrifice
yourself, rather than involve another.
The Court imposes upon you the low.
est term of Imprisonment and the
highest fine. The sentcYce nf the
Court is, that you pay a fuc Of 5000
and be imprisoned in the pcnitcntiary

South Carolina. See Rev. J. II. Johps'
history of Rock Church.
We will close this article with an Incl
dent or two from a sketch of Mecklenberg,
by DR.. Ramsey, the historian of Tennes-
see.
When Lord CORVALLIS entered Char
lotte, in 1880, Duncan Ochletree wealthy
citizen, who up to that time had acted
with the patriots, turned tory to save his
property. In the service of Lord Cornwall
lis he first tried in vain to bride the leaders
of his former friends and then began to
harass them by foraging from their proper
ties to supply the British troops. Cato"
said John McKnitt Alexander to his faith
full slave and foreman, "the moment you
see the red coats enter our lane, run and
apply the torch to stacks and barn; Ochle-
tree shall not get bundle of straw from
our plantation" The occasion soon oc-
Cured and the order was faithfully exc
cuted by Cato.
But the safety of Ochletree was of short
duration. The defeat of Ferguson at Kings
Mountain compelled LORD CORVALLIS to
abandon Charlotte in two weeks from his
entering. Ochletree foreseing what was
about to happen was distressed, with new
dangers and fears. How should he now
save himself and his property from the
injured and exasperated Wings?
Mounting his horse at dark, he rides to
the house of his old friend John McKnitt
Alexander, nine miles in the county
Mr.. A. and his son were absent two miles
off in the camp of Major Sharpe. His
wife refused to admit Ochletree, or to in
form him where her husband was. He
begged and protested that his intentions
were patriotic, at the same time handing
his sword in at the window as pledge.
Finally little daughter Peggy, Is years
old, with her faithful maid Venus, was
despatched to the camp for her father.
When he arrived at the house, Ochletree
told him that the British would evacuate
Charlotte that night; that he threw him
self for the protection of his life and pro-
perty upon the generosity of Mr.. A, and
asked for his advice and assistance in his
critical dilemma.
The reply was such as might have been
expected. "Ochetree, if l had met you
any where else would have killed you.
In the circumstances, SO far as am con-
cerned, your life is safe; but neither your
life nor your property is safe in Mecklen-
berg. The Wings will take both. Your
only safety is in instant flight. l advise
you to reach the Yadkin before daylight"
Ochletree was seen no more in Charlotte.
Though now beyond the age of military
service, John McKnitt Alexander accom-
panied General Green in his expedition
into South Carolina and in his mastery
retreat before Corvallis; by his zeal in
the cause, his intimate knowledge Of the
topography and people of the country,
affording valuable assistance as counselor
and aid to that officer. j. E. A.

der can give the full maiden name of his
wife Margaret or any facts Of his personal
history, he will confer favor by sending
such information to the Office of The Cecil
Wing.

A MIsCHIEvoUs REPORT DENIED.-A
Washington despatch to the New York
Tribune says:
There has been mischievous report in
circulation to the effect that the real reason
for CreswelPs retirement from the Cabinet
was to enable him to become counsel for a
large number of claimants under the
Congress, and that his arrangements were
such that he had secured the certainty of
large fees and percentages on all claims
allowed. 1t is proper to say that no such
arrangement has been made, and that in
stead of being counsel for the claimants
before the Board, Mr.. Creswell has been
retained on behalf of the Government, and
will represent the interests of the United
States before it in all cases to be considered.
1t is probable that Mr.. Creswell's business
interests will be as large as though he we're
counsel for the claimants. His declared
purpose in retiring from the Post Office De-
partment was that he might be enabled to
attend to his own business, which had been
sadly neglected. The Commissioner under
the law will fix the amount of his compen-
sation, which will be scarcely less than
$4,000 year, and he receives in addition
from the Government $1,000 as one of the
Commissioners of the Frcedman's Bank.
These, added to his banking interest in
this city, which are large, he being direc-
tor of the new Citizens Bank and prospec-
tive President of that institution, will be
quite sufficient to keep Mr.. Creswell en-
ployed, especially if he practices his pro-
fession before the courts.

CAUGHT.-Joseph Fl. Taylor. of Lewis
vile, Pa, charged with being the muir.
derer of Robert A. Mackey, has been ar
rested and confined in Jail at Bucyrus,
Crawford county, Ohio. On Tuesday last,
Henry Greenfield, Robert A. Mackey'
uncle, living at Kimbleville, Chester CO.,
Pa, received a dispatch from Bucyrus,
Crawford CO., Ohio, announcing that Tay-
lor had been arrested and confined in jail
there. Mr.. Greenfield telegraphed to the
sheriff in charge of the prisoner to bring
him on, and that officer in reply stated
that he would do so upon the reception of a
requisition from the Governor of Della
ware. Mr.. Greenfield Immediately pro-
cured the requisition, and in company with
Sheriff Armstrong, proceeded at once after
the prisoner. The Governor of Delaware,
had previously offered a reward of $500 for
the arrest of the murderer, which was in
creased to $500 by the father Of the MUIR
dered man.
