27th Regiment, and served during the
war surrendcring ut Appomattox. lie

Press and Carolinian: There has heen
such a demand for Judge Cilley's speech
on the life and character of Jefferson Da-
Wis that we publish it in this issue. This
demand comes largely from Judge Gil
lcy's old acquaintance in New Eng land
where Mr.. Davis was most hated he
cause his motives were least understood.
The speech is the product of a cultivated
mind, shaped and toned by an honest
Northern heart, and will doubtlcs do
much to correct the erroneous views OF
the character of Mr. Davis. Fifty copies
of the speech will be sent to New Eng
land and we ask for it calm and studi-
Gus pcrusal. 1t will bear reading again
and agan.

docket for the next term of Burke supc-
rior court. There are seven prisoners in
Morganton Jail charged with murder,
five of them charged with the murder OF
