TUESDAY MORNING, APR1I- 2«. IB40
CONVICTION »r Mi-mien-—State vs.
John Willis. On Monday of the second
week of trip laic term of Ouilfdrd 6up< -
rior Court John Willis was p'ul upon In*
trial for the murdet pi Jiim* D. Taylor.
Sol. Gen. POIKPRXTBI appeared for tin
State, anil G. C. MEMII-.MI u.t. and J.T.
HoMlUSAD for the dcfi udunt.hy appoint-ment
of the Court.
It appeared that diceased went to Ihe
house of defendant on Tuesday the 7ih
inst., both ivere partially intoxicated, anil
after some alternation Willis struck T.iv
lor on the head with a Itiok nf limber
which caused him to die on lira Thurs-day
night following. The fallowing i«
n brief summary of the facts as taken
down by a gentleman present during the
trial.
Willis (defendant) told Taylor (de-ceased)
to go home ; witness thru sal*
W. going hastilv to where T. was, with
his head down am! his face from W.| such
was his position when ihn blow was struck
on the back part of his hoad. T. fell
down on his fsccj witness and a little
boy put deceased out of 'ho yard or en.
closure, and then W. tagged him by hi
leg into a corner 6? tho fonoc.—Willis
and the deceased had net been friendly—
W. had said damn him he ouglll to be
killed; W. was unfriendly withdeeoaietl
on account of the land on which he lived
—said it did not belong to him j said he
was a damn'd old rascal.—Skull of do
ceased thought to be hroKcn ; witness
could press il in ; wound did not Jileed,
hut on his neck the blood had solilid
and was black.—One witness heard Wil-lis
say, on Tuesday evening, that he hid
given one damn'd rascal enough, and he
would give some others the same. Wil.
lis went to see Taylor on Thursday eve-ning;
felt his pulse ; said, he will he all
right by tho morning; deceased had a
cold sweat the time and little pulse.—
Deceased was- unablo to walk after re-ceiving
tho Slow.
After able argument by the cniinsi I,
and the charge of his honor, the Jury re-tired,
and after an absence of about an
hour returned with a verdict o( guilty as
charged in I lie bill of Indictment.
DEATH or Jiniii: WHITE.—Mournful
intel.'igence has reached us of the death
of lii'on LAWSOM WHITE. This gnat
and good man died on Friday the IHih
inst. at his residence near Knoxville,
Tennessee. We understand that he was
overtaken with indisposition on his way
from Washington last winter, which con-tinued
to become worse until it proved
fatal.—Possessed of undoubted patriot-ism,
eminent abilities, and the sternest
integrity of character, the many Stations
of public trust which he filled during his
long life, have been filled with honor In
himself and his country. Ho died with-out
a stain or the semblance of a slain
upon his private or public character.—
The country never mourned the loss of a
purer man.
COL. CROCKET*.—Another atory has
been started that Col. Crocket is alive
anil in the mines of Mexico. The slate,
incnt is founded upon a letter to I ho ed-itor
of the Austin (Texas) Oazi lie, pur
porting to have bean written hy an Amer
ican who had seen Col. <'. al work in a
mine. Wo don't believe Ihe -lory.
A fiw yeara ago, when produce com-manded
high prices, the Admiliislratinn
hud credit for it, and the fart was urg- >J
oa evidence of good government, Thi
rule, wc suppose, should work both ways,
Let the people note, therefore, wh it has
been iho effeel oi a war upon Ihe c
er.—11 ""-•I.

Messrs. Editors; The Standard of ihe
sih nisi, contains an article headed "Mr.
Miin he.id al Surry," the substance of
which (says the Editor) was communica-ted
by a "gentleman present.'' This
coii'iniimeniiufi, evidently intended for
political i fleet, contain* one asstruou al
complete variance with the observation
oi every citizen of this section, bt his
poliiies what ihey may,—and in justice
IO public sentiment deserve* correction.
The expression alluded to is, that frtm
Mr. Morehead's spci cb " no change was
made in Sum," but that the Democrats
s.iy "the efli cl produced was Io confirm
tin in more strongly in ihcr republican
faith." The knowledge ol ihe feel thai
Mr. .Mori head, in ihe speech alluded Io,
so lar from confirming the lie moor.Ms in
'heir fuiih. actually upset the vhole Van
lhirtn tilifin in this section, is the why
anil win reloreof ill.- mis-stated notice ol
Mr. (lorehead's speech in that psptr.
We possess some facilities ourselves to-wards
obtaining a knowledge ol public
«• iiiiiiient in relation to ihe effects pro-duced
O'l tho Van Huron faith by Mr.
.Mori head's speech; ami of our o\w:
knowledge, and to Ihe personal knowl-edge

The Whig cause is daily adding to il«
numbers) ihe fanners and meohanics es-pecially
of this county are bestirring
lloinselvea toward a pood work, thai, in
its final consummation, ai the next Au-gust
election, will end in the overthrow
ol Van Buren mi*rule*and dictation.
A Nan Huron commillee of vigilance
has been posted in ev< ry nooh of this
county, under solemn plcdgi s Io sustain

and intelligent voters of Sorry Ouunty
ware not a* well qualified io make a ju-dicious
choice in llieir election* as five

When faith in any administration is
no more strongly fixed in the bosoms ol

not ho regarded as a " confirmation of

In Ins celebralid speech in the
Senate of North Carolina, in 1H34, lu

"One of ihe gentleman's colleagues—

General—in In* public addresses

to his oihir charges against the

linn well, having lived in his immediate
neighborhood. Soon after the meeting
of Congress in 1^23, win re do you .find

Kentucky.—The Frankfort Common-wealth
apprehends thai the Governor of
Kentucky will have to convene the Le-gislature
of that Slate for ihe purpose of
passing a law for the appointment of
Prcsidi niial Electors. The formi r law

inside of his house, every thing w.i- •:
line and flaslicy, and especially when iuv
gives a dirmer party by candle light,.'
was raly curious'—and he told mo sc
much about it th.it I got my notions quite
up to it, tho' I had hearn it tell'd on afore,
Hint unless a man was naturally brought

never have such another chance in all
your born days ;' and so he sot down and
nt an answer for me, and sent it oil.—
Well now,'says I, 'as I kalkilato you
got me in ibis scrape, you must get me
out on't. I suppose you are going too,'
says I. 'No,' says he,'I can't, for I'm
engaged, and I'm sorry for't seeing how
von are going.' 'Well,' says I, 'I'm sor-ry
loo; luil,' says I. 'what's the rig, for 1
want to be in fashion,' ' Oh,' says be,
' I'll manage that, I'll lend you what you
haint got; and as I'm about your size,
you can rig out in one of mr dresses.'—
