Editing Trial for Murder, and Snicide of the Criminal in ronrt. The Washington (N. C) Whig brings us an account of the trial of the llev. George 11. Carawan. for the murder of C. II. Lissiter, in Hyde county. North Cirolina, in November of last year. Carawan was first arraigned before the Superior Court of llrdc, at the spring term t-f this year, and on his aiTilavit that he could not have justire done him in Hyde, the case was removed to Beaufort. The testimony elicited on the trial, (which closed ou the 30th ult, after. continuing one week.) is very voluminous. The main facte, are as fo.lows: "Carawan is fifty-six years old, and fvr many years has b en a popular preacher in the Biptist Church a man of streng will, xercising a powerful influence over his friends, uud leured us much as hated by his foes, Lassiter was a quiet young m in. engaged i i the buisiuess of teaching. Some months before the murder, Lassiter boarded in the houst of Carawan, and a qnarrel arose between them, Carawan alleging that Lassiter was too familiar with (C) wife. Cdrawati lulked freely among his neig'iburs on the iubject; said that L. ought tu be shot; that shooting was too g-'oJ for him, that ho and L, could not live in the sune neighboihood, 6cc, and finally tried loget out a peace warrant agiiiut Jj. alleging tlut he lud attempted to take his life. He went on in this way for some time, when L. sued him forslati der. laying the damages at two thousand dollars. A few hours after the writ was served on Carawan, Lisiiter was killtd. "'He had finished a School on Hose Bay, and on Monday, ov 15th, iSOi. started on foot, with a carpet b;ig in his hand, to go to the Like, where he had engaged another school. About 3 o'clock, P. M. he passed C's house, on his way to the Lake. Shortly after he passed C. left his house and went across the field toward the woods his wile following him with a gun wrapped in her apron. She teturned to the house immediately Carawan uot until sundowu. That night he was gone, the witness could not tell how long; he wis not at home when the witness went to bed. Tuesday he remained at home. but on Wednesday, a rainy day, he took a hoe and went into the woods, and was gone several hours. Thursday, before L. was missing, the people on the Lake thinking h was on the Ijy, and the people on the Biy, thinking he was at the Lake C. went to one of the neighbors and inquired if he had seen any thing of L., stating that (C's) family had seen him pass his house ou Monday, with a package of clothes, an l he was thinking he had run away. Friday evening, when told that the people were starching for L. he expressed great surprise that he should be missing; never heard anything of it, Saturday morning, the search for L. still going on, he wrote a friend to come and see him; that L. was missing supposed to be killed; and added that he (C) was at home all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and that he could prove it by Carawan Sawyer, (the main witness ou the trial for the stale) his nephew a boy who was living with him. "The body of L., was fouud on Saturday evening in the dismal back of C's house, in an open spot, which was surrounded with briars, under-brush. &c, and which was covered with moss. The moss over the grave had been carefully removed, the grave dugjust large euough to hold the body, the body pressed into it the grave filled up ev n with the surrounding earth and pressed down and the moss carefully laid back upon it. The moss leaving no trace ol a foot print, there was no sign that any body ever had been there but moss over the grave had faded a little, and about a handful of fresh dirt was near it, and a dead limb of a tree had apparautly been recently disturbed, the bark, which had evidently ju6t fallen off, was lying in one spot and the limb in another. The men who were searching for the body had stopped in this lonely spot to rest, having given up the search for the day, when those appearances attracted their attention, and the body was found. L. was killed by gunshot wounds. Several shots were taken from the heart. Ther.i were three sizes of shot fouud in the body and in one of the barrels of C's gnu, fouud in his house, just suih a shot, and of three sizes were found. That night C. left Hyde couuty, telling his nephew, Sawyer, that if he stayed there he should be hung; that he should send for his family, and that he (S) must go with thein. Sunday morning he landed from a canoe at Durham's Creek Mills, in Beaufort county, about thirty miles from his home, telling the man who rowed him over that he was after a piece of land which another man was tryiug to buy and lhat was the reason of his hurry, and c arged him to keep his movements a secret. "From this time till his arrest at night in his house, in January following, the State did not show his whereabouts. But, from letters received by the Sheriff of Hyde from Tenuessee, it seems he had been in that Stale preaching under the assumed name of John Ferbcs,

From the Doston Poit. Fun in California. There is a littl paper printed at San Diego, California, called the San Diego Herald an ordinary grave paper, that j went iuto the support of John Bigler for Governor, and that was not suspected of; ever being inclined to fun. The editor's name is J. Judson Ames, a county judge and a moderate man. Lately before the election he took it into his head to take j a tour to another part of the State, to; electioneer, probably :or the democratic j Bigler, and entrusted the Herald, during; his absence, to the charge of John Phce nix. ; Esq., a gutleman of that ilk, known in the vicinity by the name of Derby. But the Judge had forgotten to inquire into the nature of Mr. Phcpuix's politics and the first thing the e litor did was to c.iange the political character of the Her- j aid, by running up the white flag, bear i ing the name of Win. Waldo, for Governor. The Judge's consternation may be; famied. He immediately wrote back a j letter to Phoenix, telling him to bring t back the paper io its allegiance; where upon Phoenix declares his democracy that his support of Waldo ws a mistake, ; and asks forgiveness, and avowing himself ready "to embrace democracy with ardor, slap her on her back, and declares himself in favor of erecting a statute of Andrew Jackson in the plaza." "Whatever is, is right." (says Phoenix.) "as the old gentleman sweetly remarked when he chopped off the end of his nose with a razor, in the endeavor to kill a fiy that had lit thereon, when he was shaving," and applies the remark to the alection of Bigler, and adds "If this election, however, should cause Sau Diego to assume its proper position as the fir.it commercial city of California, I shall reverence the name of John Biglr forever, and I will bestw that honored appellation upon my youngest child, and have it engraved upon a piece of leathr or other suitable material, and suspended about that tender infant's neck, unlil such time as he shall be old enough to learn and love the virtues of his houored godside." Mr. Phoenix in his arm chair, writes an eloquent valedictory on retiring frwm the editorship. He say: "Te Deum Laudamus Judge Ames has returned! With the completion of this article my labors are ended; and, wi ping my pen on my coat-tail, and placing it behind my sinister car with a graceful '
