Tn tlin rasn of the Statn vs. Nicholas Wood, one of

the parties indicted for the killing of John- Tucker the testimony was si miVr to that introduced on the trial of E. Davis. On Saturday evening last the Jury, after being out an hour or two, returned a verdict of guilty, and sentenced Wood to three years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Some surprise was felt

in community at the rendition of such a verdict after

the acquittal of Davis, liiere were two points very unfavorable to Wood, however, which were not re

flected upon, perhaps, sufficiently by peVrpIe in gener

al. Ihcse were, tue lads, that Wood commenced the affray, and followed it up to its conclusion, striking or attempting to strike Tucker, after he had received the fatal blow. O. II. Smith, Esq., one of the coun

sel for the prosecution dwelt on these points with

great force and clTect. There were no such strong . . . m -W a

points against Davis, or, it there were, they were not so successfully urged upon the jury by the State Count-. m " . i a i . t '

sei. ötrong as Air. ömiui s spcccti was, in me main, there were some parts in which ho rather weakened

hid cause. We refer to certliYi 'digressions, well enough perhaps in their place, but in our estimation,

rather out of place in his argument. 1 his is a matter of taste, however, and if we are correct, Wood

and his friends, have less occasion than they might

otherwise think they had, to find fault with Mr.

Smith, for the tendency of the part we speak of,

would betörender the jury lenient to V ood rather

than extremelv severe.

facts to which he did not testify. We can only say, that it was our anxious desire to hfive a report as correct in every way ds possibJc. For this reasoh we permitted ourselves to be prevailed on to accept the voluntarily profTercd services of a gentleman in whose ability the lawyers had more confidence than they had in another reporter We had at first intended to employ. Wc cannot suppose, that the gentleman who made the rc)ort had any sinister design of wilfully misrepresenting, or in giving a false coloring to facts

as testified. To suppose the contrary, would he equivalent to supposing him capable of perpetrating almost any wickedness. At any rate the result of the trial was satisfactory to tho"c most immediately concerned, and the whole

j matter may safely be permitted to rest as it is.

Jlornsou concludes lis second pararaidi bv assert

is now too limited, and their circulation too small.

He is right in regard to the circulation, but wrong as to the number of papers. There are twice as manv

already as arc prdlitably supported. We advertisb to-day one the oldest and most efficient, for sale; and three quarters, of the whole nlimbcr could doubtless be bought for less than the first cost of press and types, it is not the number of papers that makes them" profitable either to the publishers or the public ; as to both, the reverse is the fact. The same or a less amount of capital, and the same or a greater amount of talent and labor, could be mörö profitably invested in half the number of papers now existing more profitably to the pockets of the publishers and printer?, and more nrofitablv to tho nnblif 1 prwrwl it rr nn

as iollows: Appropriations were formerly made out t M. . '

oi me two per cent hind. That fund is long since exhausted. The fnet of its being exhausted was not known for many years, after it was all expended, and consequently the appropriations were continued Hut

about lSa'J the fact was made known, by a member r .

oi congress who investigated the subject. Since then

no appropriations have been made. An annronria

tion can be, and has been made to pass the Senate with ease, because the Senators are few in number, and the Senate therefore acts promptly. Dut the House is composed of about two hundred and forty members, arid "large bodies move slowly." At the late

session of Congress a bill passed, anion? annroDria

lions for a great variety of other objects, making an ap

propriation lor the Cumberland Kond. It failed to re

ceive the approbation of the President (Tyler,) as it

is understood, on the ground that it contained an an

propriation for the Hudson river a river, which Mr.

lyler held to be not a National; ftjt ä State river, as it rises, and disembogues into the ocean within the bounds of a single State. Under the rules of the

House it requires a vote of two-thirds to tal;c iin a

bill, or measure out of its turn. For several years Ii -

no mil, or measure (or certainly but a few,) has been

From the Dublin (Ireland J Freeman's Journal. Death of Genekal Jackson. A packet ship arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday lost, furnishes us?; though having but one day's later news from America, with the deeply to be lamented tidings of General Jackson's death. This event took place at his private residence; the Hermitage," in the western state of Tennessee, on the 6th June last, in the TStli year of his ape. An old .comrade in arms, hurryin'to the veteran's dying bed to abide with him in "the final conflict, which it is thc lot of all rich to sustain, met his physician on thc way, proclaiming that the hero was no more. We can imdginc how this intelligence has been received throughout .America. Friends paired with a sudden grief, and they who were once his foes, now voluble eulogists of his character. Over his grave there is heard but one gush of universal sorrow. . IIU death is indeed a national calamity to his countrymen, and a wide void left in the ranks of mjinhmid Th.f

O-Two days after thc election, we said that if the Democracy of other counties had done as well as they did in Marion, we should have a majority of Sit) on joint ballot.

There grew up in Amcfica after the second war with England, a moneyed monopoly, called thc United States Bank.
