Orange Superior Court.
Messrs. Editors: - This Court was in session last week, his honor Judge Manly presiding. No cases of importance were tried on the civil docket, but a goodly number of "hog and horse cases" were disposed of. The Judge is a man of decided learning and ability, and presides with dignity, courtesy and forbearance.
A negro man (slave) Alves, the property of Mr. Morgan, was tried for the murder of another slave on the day of the late election - affording another warning to slaveowners of the evils of permitting their slaves to assemble together on public occasions. He was convicted and sentenced to be hanged on Friday the 9th of next October.
Mr. Solicitor Ruffin was in attendance, prosecuting with great ability and success, adding to the high reputation he has already earned as a prosecuting officer, and giving general satisfaction.
