Judge jackson Ill-ClOsing of
the Long Railroad Case, Etc.
)ndence OF the Register.

CORRESPONDENCE OF llc htElsltAs
CLARKsBURG, May 18th.
The agricultural interest of this county
is suffering at this time severely for the
want of rain. The grazing is short, the
prospects OF the hay crop very discour
aging. the wheat short, and the planted
corn lies in the ground as sound as in
the corn crib. The gardens are very
backward, and the streams low. The
cry Of the farmer is for rain, but there
seems but little prospect that his wishes
will be soon realized.
Judge Jackson was quite unwell on
Monday last, and was removed, by the
advice OF his friends, from the hotel to
the private residence OF Mr.. Moore, the
clerk of his Court But his indispOsi-
ton has not materially affected the busi-
ness OF the Court.
The evidence was closed in the case
OF Marsh vs.. the Martinsburg Railroad
Company, yesterday morning. The
trial has now lasted five weeks. The
residue OF the day was spent in present
ing points OF law for the decision OF the
Court. GOf q Davis, the counsel for
the plaintiff, asked for no instructions
to G jury. Hon. Chas. j. Faulkner
on behalf of the defendant, submitted
twenty instructions, some OF which
were rejected, some modified by the
Court, and the residue granted. 1t Is
well understood here, that if there
should be a verdict against the railroad
company that the case will be carried
to the Supreme Court OF the United
States. Public opinion is much divided
as to the verdict OF the jury. The case
will occupy the balance of this week in
the argument of counsel to the jury.
Walkers Hotel has had an eXtraordi-
nary run OF patronage for the last five
weeks. Every room has been occupied,
and also outbuildings are engaged for
the occasion. Ii has been the head
quarters of the Martnsburg Company
and all its counsel officers and witness
ses. Mr.. Faulkner has been cOutinu-
ouslv with us for the last five weeks,
and his face has become as familiar to
us as one of our own citizens.

THE DEATH PENALTY.
Three Burglars Hung.

RALEIGH, y. c., May lG.-Henry
AlphonsO Davis, white, Henry L.
Andrews, white, and Lewis Carleton,
lcolorcd), the noted Chapel Hill burg
lars, were hanged at Hillboro, the
county seat Of Orange county, where
their numerous crimes We're committed.
Each of the prisoners proclaimed his
innocence to the last. Carleton spoke
for an hour and said his salvation was
sure. The parting between Andrew and
his sister on the scatiold was
most affecting and moved the
crowd of witnesses TO tears. All were
firm and showed no sign of wavering.
The hanging took place at 80 o'clock,
and was badly botChed. The ropes
around the necks OF Davis and Carleton
were too long, and their feet rested on
the ground. They were raised and the
ropes retied, causing death by Strangu-
Iation. 4 terrific thunder storm ragged
during the whole proceeding, and the
scene was wild and terrible. At least
eight thousand persons were present.

Correspondence Of the Register
In our last circular oi the 2lSt ulto.,
We informed YOU that the French gov
ernmcnt will award on the 9th oi June
prox., a contract for 800 hhds. ONO
tobacco. The proportion of the differ
ent grades is, IL per cent. of fine, 10 per
cent Of medium, and - per cent. at
common tobacco. Onc-third oi the con
tract has to bc delivered before the 18th
Of September, the next before the st OF
December, and the last thiri before the
lst OF March. According to the types
received here the French require better
tobacco than last year. The French
contractors last year took the contract al
very low pricr, aud in consequence
lost money, aud this recent experience
We hope will prevent buyers from max.
ing very low bids this season.
Our market has ruled very quiet, AMI
with the exception Of small lots oi air
cured tobacco, uO transactions al any
moment have taken place. There con
tinues la he good demand ior clean,
Icafy air-curcd tobacco, for which ialr
prices are realized, and We would advise
shipments oi this kind.
The Italian government has invited
proposals for u contract oi II 900 hhds.
Kentucky, and il il expected they VIII
also invite proposals soon for liberal
amount Of Ohio and Maryland tobacco.
The German tariff question VIII be
