Marasr. Almost brutal murder was pcrpe;ra-
ted IN Dupiu county on the 9th ult, under the
following circumstances: MIR. Henry Smith, re-
siding Strickland's Depot, had endeavored,
on the evening previous to the commission of the
murder, to whip some Of his negroes for bad con-
duct, but they resisted and he failed in correcting
them. Next morning he started Cor neighbours
house. short distance from his own, for the Pur-
pose Of Obtaining assistance. Two Of his negroes
then working in field close by susPectng their
masters object, followed him into swamp through
which he had to pass on his way TO his neghbor's,
and there literally beat him to death with a blud
gcon. We understand one of the miscreanls
stood sentinel at the edge of the swamp, whilst
the other committed the horrid decd. Both of the
negroes have been committed TO Duplin Jail Mr.,
Smith, we understand, was respectable farmer
and worthy citizen. WI Journal

Courthouse in this place, on Friday evening last
to large concourse, and on Sunday consecrated
ST. Joseph's and ST. Marys church, in Lincoln
county, II miles west of this Al the same time,
we understand he confirmed near forty candidates
and bap,isrd four. The Bishop, whatever we
may think of the doctrines he breaches, is cer'
tainIy an eloquent speaker, and courteous gen.
tleman of polished education and fine talents
