which works up the hides failed last

The Cross and White cases at this term
OF Wake superior court will bc taken up
They are Overshadowed by the Boyle
case, and hence will attract very little
attention. Both Cross and White are
now depressed in spirits and no longer
lounge on the streets, as was once their
custom. There are only two cases
against them set for this term. Some
eight or nine other cases are yet in
reserve. The case against Cross and
White, on their appeal, will certainly be
heard by the supreme court of the United
States in November. There has been an
expression of doubt as to whether their
case would certainly be advanced by
that court, but your correspondent is
assured that it certainly will be.
