This trial, which has occupied our Circuit Court nearly two weeks, and the evidence given in the case of which, appeared in Saturday's edition of the Semi-weekly Sentinel, and in this number of the Weekly, closed on Tuesday or we might say that arguments of counsel were closed on Saturday noon last, when the case was, after the charge of the Court, given to the jury at about five o'clock, P. M. The jury remained out until about 9 o'clock on Monday morning succeeding, when they returned into Court, and rendered their verdict as follows: "We, the Jury, find the defendant guilty of manslaughter, and sentence him to imprisonment at hard labor in the State Prison For the term of two years. WM. T. CURD, Foreman." After the close of the testimony, our business called for the largest share of our attention in another quarter. Consequently,' we are not ablo to give full reports of the able speeches of counsel, even had we space, and must take this occasion to remark principally on what we heard personally, and on the judgment of a friend who was present and made good observance of the whole trial. After the close of the evidence, L. Birbour, Esq., commenced the case for the prosecution; and in an able argument, evinced his legal knowledge and acute judgment to the satisfaction of all who heard bim. Mr. B. does not set up for an orator, nor for a pleader, ling'ic or comic; yet there is that about biro which, but for his particular modesty when addressing a jury, totally unlike him when he hat a witness in Land, would, with some practice, make bim a capita advocate. Mr. B. was followed in the defence by R. L. Walpole, Esq., a young but talented member of the bar. This, we believe, was the Erst capital trial in which he has ever been engaged ; and the best proof of what he is destined to become, is adduced (by us) from the knowledge of law exhibited on the occasion, and from bis off-hand, easy address. It partakes. perhaps, a litttle too much cf the impetuosity of youth ; but age and experience will correct these errors. Hiram Brown, Esq., followed Mr. Walpole ; and in his argument, seldom excelled even by himself, veteran aa be is, he made, by bis clear and lucid analysis of the testimony, a decided impression. Mr. B. needs no encomiums from us to add to his already established reputation. H. O'Neal, Esq., followed Mr. B. for the defence. Unfortunately for us, we did not Lear one word of his speech. It is reported, however, with an excep tion or two, to have fully sustained his previous high reputation. Wm. Quarles, Esq., followed on the same side; and here public expectation was on tiptoe to witness the effort of this giant of the bar this veteran in law. That be was impressed fully with the immense responsibility resting on his shoulders, was fully apparent from the fact that he rushed to his subject giant-like ! No smooth words at opening nothing but his whole soul appeared from the start! and for seven hours he breathed forth all his eloquence in behalf of his unfortunate client. He was the last one to speak in that unhappy man's defence. At the close, in a manner at once solemn and impressive, couched in such language as would become the poets of old, calmed and moderated, as the calm succeeds the storm, by the almost exhaustion of the forces lashing it into fury, his appeal was eloquent it was touching he left the boy in the hands of his peers be was done he bad done his duty bis conscience would clear him, and he trusted the boy to God and bis country. Ex-Gov. Wallace dosed the argument on behalf of the State, and if he, experienced and able as he is, I ever appeared to advantage, it was in this case. With much to contend against, from various sources, in this he exceeded the mot sanguine expectations of his friends and enemies. That his admirable review of the whole case, his strict and correct scanning of its every aspect ; bis complete elucidation of the testimony, bore conviction to the minds of hundreds of the listeners, whatever effect it may bate bad on the jury. This excellent speech we may have occasion to call attention to again. The Jury. Their verdict is before the people ; and from their character, it is to be supposed tbat each ha s acted In accordance with his oath. For fifteen days were they in close attention on their duties ; and arduous as they were, they fulfilled them with cheerfulness, deserving of credit. Nor should we forget the Court. The charge to the jury is what more particularly interests as at this time, and of that we cannot speak in this number, owing to the crowded state of our columns. However, in our next we shall endeavor to give it entire, for its legal worth ; and to further mention, that which has made much impression on the court-going public as well as ourselves, the dignified, urbane, impartial and prompt bearing of the Court. Pitm Mat Buhn id. We learn by a private telegraphic despatch, that Rinehart &. Robinson's new paper mill at Delphi; was entirely consumed by fire on Sunday night last. We infer that all the papr, materials, and stock on hand, are destroyed. The books were saved. The total loss is estimated at $5,000, one half of which only is covered by insurance. We sincerely sympathise with these gentlemen in their misfortune. Mr. Robinson, as is known to raost of our citizens, is a young man who by industry and economy succeeded in saving enough to build and furnish this mill, which had but recently been put in successful operation. We hope they may be able 1 to rebuild. - Hos. W. J. Brown.

Godcy's Lady ISoolc. We Lard! know how lo add any thing to what we have often said, in praise of Godey'a Lady' Book, a a Magazine, the "oldest magazine in America, and now cmphaticaiy "the Book of the Nation." In comparison, it exceed all others, not only in ita extra quantity of reading matter, but also jn its quality. With a host of wrilert, embracing the highest talent in the country, Godey is pushed on to give more, than he promises, that be may give to his numerous readers the gems of the prolific pens at Iiis command. In respect to Engravings, Godey gives more and better thin any other, and besides, many of them are of more practical utility than nine tenths of those if the day. His music, alo:;e, (a s'icct of which accumpa-

nics ench number,) will neatly pay fur thetnagazine. at its low price only &3.C0 a year; and his fashion plates are Americanized, giving all that is desirable, without the naked tau-driness of 'Les Modes Parriaaiennes." Without saying a word more, we would inform our reader?, that Godey does all that he promises. He has promised to make the Book more attractive if possible, during the coming year, than the preceding. And we can conscientiously advise our readers, desirous of a good and popular magazine, to subscribe fur Godey'. His terms iu detail will be made known at this otLce, and if a half dozen or more will club together, we will forward their remittances free of charge. Remember, a New Volume commences in January neat. fj-We might have said a word about his December number; but it should be seen to be appreciated. It contains 100 pages 21 Engravings, and articles from 40 Contributors ! Think ofthat for one number! In noticing a dispute in the newspapers at Madison about the price of hogs a few days since, we uttered a few plain truths, as follows: "We can tell the buyers there one thing, and that is, they will gain nothing in the long run by deception or humbug, and the Madison Merchants and traders will gain as little. People will finally go where they are fairly dealt with, and to a place which has good reputation; not to one where they think there is a risk of being cheated or deceived." These sentences elicited half a column of comments from the Madison Banner, beginning thus: "No one can misapprehend the drift of the Sentinel. It is to make an impression abroad that "people" trading in Madieon are not "fairly dealt with" by our "merchants and traders," but are liable to be "humbugged," "cheated," and "deceived." The Banner, we feel bound to say, has itself entirely "misapprehended" our "drift." We only intended our statement as general truths, and did not mean to apply them to Madison men particularly. We were only actuated by a feeling friendly towards Madison, indjust to every body else. Nothing more nor less. But though we never intended to make any such "impression" as it supposes, the Banner goes on to state that this "imprebsion" has become the "common fame" of that town, and suggests to its merchants and traders the propriety of taking measures to remove the "strong prejudice" which, it admits, is justly entertained against them. It says "Our "merchants and traders" have never yet combined, or set up for themsehes, bo as to give some permanence and regularity to the trade of the city. On the contrary, our business men have always relied, in making their bargains.upon the Cincinnati, Louisville, and oiber markets, and it tcould seem to be the uhole ambilirm of every man, individually, to buy a little cheaper and sell a little higher than any persons in the same line of business in Cincinnati ! "Some years ago the necessity of adopting measures similar to those now recommended was felt by our businessmen; snd they met and "resolved" to pay the Cincinnati prices, &c. They also issued a "circular" and appointed an agent to watch the great thoroughfare to Lawrenceburg and Cincinnati, whose duty it was to persuade the farmers to bring their produce to this market. We believed them sincere, and puffed them as we never puffed a class of men before or since. The whole plan was successful, and a vast quantity of produce was brought in. But, after about a week or ten days' influx, prices went down suddenly considerably below the Cincinnati standard, and the result was curses, loud and deep, from the Ohio river to the National road, poured upon the devoted heads of all the people of Madison! Next time it will be well for us not to undertake more than we intend to perform !" And yet, while making such broad confessions and declarations as these, the Banner is illogical enough, and we must add dishonest atd impudent enough, to speak of the general truths which we enunciated as "insinuations," "innuendoes," and " slanders." We think the Banner itself has need to learn a few lessons in honesty and common decency, before it attempts to lecture the merchants and traders of Madison, or any body else. Till then, its defence of them can only work their greater loss of reputation. "LiselSpit. We aieiprpihed to learn, by the Vavay Palladium of the 6th, that tbe libel aoit, instituted bJubn Talr, jr., againit Iaac Steven, jr., i pertevered in. Stevens, tbe editor of the Palladium, published certain cornmuDicationt, dating the late canvaia.

"Gentlemen, reconcile your difference!, like good men and chiittians; for the further you war against each other at law, the worse it will bs for you both, 1st who will vi:' The above appeared in the State Sentinel of Oct 10, last. It was dictated solely by friendly feelings and good motives, towards both parties; and yet we are informed tbat the first paragraph has been construed to tbe prejudice of Mr. Tail, under the weight of our supposed endorsement. The second paragraph declares that "we know nothing about tbe merits of the controversy," and of course shows that we did not intend to endorse, or dispute, any thing which preceded. We supposed the difficulty to be altogether political, aud therefore advised a reconciliation, upon the principles recognized by good men and christians. We are now told, that the difficulty is not altogether political, and that the charges against Mr. Tait, I fiec ted his character as & man of honesty and integrity; that he called opun the editor of the Palladium for the author of tho charge; that the editor refused to give up the name of the author ; and that, under these circumstances, Mr. Tait felt bound by duty to hirnsejf and his friend, to institute a legal investigation. We are told further, that Mr. Tait does not fear to risk a verdict of a jury or his own county under ordinary circumstances; but in this case, where an officer of the county court is indirectly concerned, he thought it proper and prudent to trust the whole management of the case to his counsel. If his counsel have taken a change of venue, we are assured it was their own option. We repeal sgain, so that nothing we have said may be construed to the prejudice of either party, that we know nothing i f tho merit of the case, and only spoke at firet, as ws do now, to express regret that the matter could not be settled amicably, and without resorting to the law. Mr. Hanneqas. The Berlin correspondent of the New York Herald writes, on the 23d ult., that Mr. Hannegan had returned from London about a week before, and hid had a severe fit of illness, which had threatened his life, and reduced him very much. He himself writes the Herald that he will return to the Uuitcd Slates very shortly. Union, Nvv. 14.

The New Yokk Election. According to. the lat est telegraphic news, it appears that the late election in New York has resulted in the election of four Democrats and four Whigs on the State Ticket, while the Legislature is a tie on joint ballot the Democrats have tw majority in the House; and the Whigs two in the Senate. Last year the Democrats had'nt enough for a Corporal's guard in either branch, while on the State ticket thoy were wofully defeated. We look upon the result of the late election, under all the circumstances, as a great democratic triumph. The Wheeling District. The whig papers have the nows of the defeat of Thompson, Dem., for Congress in the Wheeling district, which they get in the Pittsburgh papers. By the Wheeling Argus, receiv ed last night, the event was still in doubt, though we should not be surprised at the election of a whig, bocause the vote was exceedingly small. Ohio States man. Mississiwi has eiven whisrrerv no quarter. A des patch from Holly Springs, dated Nov. 15, says Quit man is elected Governor by from 8 to 10,000 majority over Lea. The Democrats have carried all four of the congressional districts. The Legislature is strong !y Democratic. Well done, Mississippi! Illinois. It appears that the laws for a general system of railroads, enacted at the recent session of the Illinois Legislature, are not satisfactory to auy body. Some of the Illinois papers astail the Legis lature bitterly. It seems that the law reserves to the legislature the right to locate any road, or at least to decide upon the termini. Of course nothing can be done under such a restriction. Telegraph. It seems that operations have already commenced at Terre Haute, on the St. Louis and Cincinnati line, which we spoke of a few days ago. The Express of the 14th saysHoles are already dug in this place and proceed inz eastwardly, for the poles of a line of Telegraph from Cincinnati to St. Louis, passing through, in this State, the towns of Brookville, Connersville, Rushville, Shelbyville, Indianapolis, Danville, Greencastle. &c. We understand fixtures to the amount of 50 tons of wire, &.C., have been ordered from Louis ville to this place, and will likely be here by the first rise in the Wabash. The first pole will be erected at the corner of Wa bash and Market streets, from which we presume a room in Mr. Farrinptou's new block will be secured for the Telegraph Oince a very central and convent' ent place. It is also expected that we will be iu con nection with Indianapolis in. perhaps, ninety days This line is being made by Morse s company.

And we hope that our citizens will not be backward in helping it along. Detroit, Nov. 17, 1S49. We learn by the Franklin, just arrived from Sault St. Marie, that great excitement prevailed there in consequence of apprehended difficulties between the Indians and Quebec Mining Company, arising from the neglect of the Canadian authorities to make payment for their lands, which had been promised to the Indians. The latter had stolen three pieces of cannon, and had been joined by thirty whites. To the number of two hundred bad commenced their march on the operatives of this company at their works, and the most serions consequences are apprehended, as the.. Indians were well armed. Dependency of Cuba Guarantied to Spain. The London Times launches a terrible philippic against the United States, for supposed designs upon Cuba intimating that England has the best right to the island for money she lent to Spain; but the European Times brings forward the following important fact as a settler for all parties : We are glad to find that president Taylor is not disposed to sanction a mighty act of spoliation, to be committed by a band of mercenary adventurers. Throughout the whole of theso doings, it is carefully kept out of view that a specific treaty exists, to which France, Spain, England, and the United States are parlies, by which the dependency of Cuba to the mother country of Spain is especially guarantied. yAn accident recently occurred on the New Haven Railroad. . A train from New York came in contact with a drove of cows, thirteen of which were killed, and the engine thrown off tho track. While they were in this condition, along came the express train from Boston; a collision nccured, smashing engine and cars, and badly injuring eleven passengers. Some bad both legs broken, others bad hands wrenched off, &c. On the Georgia railroad, a collision of trains recently took place, by which one lady was killed and three other persons injured. Swindling Banes. Eastern papers put the following into the black list. Salisbury Bank, Maryland; Exchange Bank, Washington, D. C; State Bank at Morris, N. J.; James Bank, Jamesville. N. J. The St. Louis Republican of the 23th ult.,' says it is supposed that about $50,000 of the paper of the Susquehanna County Bank is in circulation in that quarter and it 'is said tn have been mostly from houses in Cincinnati." Hogs. We advise our farming friends not to sell their hogs in a hurry. The price is bound to come up; and mark it, they will command in two mont'js from this date, but little less, if any, than from $2,75 10 3,00. We don't speak without duly reflecting what we are about; and we think we could, if we had time just now, give demonstrable reasons for our opinion.

An Eloquent anp Patriotic sentiment. Gov. Brown of Tennessee, in his recent annual Message to the Legislature of that State, holds the following language: I ee nothing in the present aspect of the ques tion, to justify either a resort to violence or disunion, or to threaten them as remedies. If it should present a graver feature in its progress, let the emergency dictate the remedy. In the mean time, let us insist on our rights by all constitutional means, and also re solve to maintain the Union, "at all hazards and to the last extretnity." I am willing tu yield the honor of disunion doctrines to those Who rely upon them as a cure to any present or probable evils to arise from tbe question of slavery. Upon them will rest the responsibility (and a fearful one it will be) of calcula ting the value of the Union and cheapening its dig nity and duration, in the estimation of any portion of the American people. With the Union, we have eve ry thing to inspire the hopes and impel the energies of patriotism, amid the vast held of improvement that lies before us. Without it, we have nothing worth maintaining worth living for worth dyinz for! Clouds ana darkness rest upon euch a future section al jealousies border frays endless collisions the prostration of trade and commerce, and the ruin of American liberty, fill up the baleful picture. Against such a contemplation, all men of all parties, nuvht to turn with instinctive horror. The Union ought to be deemed invaluable as when it was formed it was deemed indispensable. It is invaluable, and deserves to be the last of human institutions that shall fade be fore the trumpet of retribution." Washington Rumors.

Alias. This ought to be satisfactory to people who have been puzzled to know what Whig principles are. According to this comprehensive definition, they are "opposition to all the great measures which look to the good of the country and the peace of the world." Boston Post. The citizens of Indianapolis have had a meeting to take into consideration the establishment of a Stnte Orphan Asylum. The object is one that commends itself by the strongest arguments to the favorable consideration of the people of the State. Such an institution is deserving n place among the benevolent enterprises in winch Indiana is engaged, and any Steps taken by the Lpgislature to promote the object, will merit and receive the approbation of every citizen who regards the good of the unfortunate. Lngansport Pharos. A Good Dividend. The Savannah Georgian snys : "We have been favored with an extract from a letter received in this city from a correspondent iu Cobb county. It reads thus: "The Roswell Factory has this day declared a dividend of six per cent, for the past six mouths, with a a surplus of $25,000, on a capital of about $93,000.

Spirit or the Age. As regards this Republic, it may be truly said, that the spirit cf improvement is abroad in the land. A restless spirit that seeks to increase and facilitate trade, and give velocity to personal locomotion and verbal communication. Railways are being made traversing the States and the United States in every direction, binding together the confederacy by strong lies of business intercourse; and wires being stretched athwart the land, whereby daily aud hourly communications are interchanged between the principal cities and villages. The acquisition of Oregon and Californi'i, and the immense emigration in search of tne golden deposits, have revived the vast projects, and will ensure their execution, of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by a ship canal, and uniting the people of the

Atlantic and racinc slopes by a railway. There is the route across the Isthm-js of Tehuantepec in Mexico, being a distance of 150 miles river navigation, and 105 miles by land. The chief advantage of this route, is the fact, that it is shorter than the Pjtiama route by eighteen hundred mVes. The Flritish house of Mcintosh &. Co. have obtained from Mexico the right of way. Then there is the Panama route across thelslhmus, being aVvater communication of thirty miles, and only about twenty-five miles by land. This route has been surveyed, a railway charter obtained, and all the stock taken by American capitalist, and the work soon to be speedily accomplished. The third route, is tho "Ship Canl," by the Nicaragua and Leon Lakes, with the navigable rixers, making a water passage of 250 inile, and the land passage only thirty miles. A company for the building of this Ship Ctnal, has been formed in New York, a contract made, and recognized by tho late treaty with Nicaragua, and the work to be done within twelve yesrs this route is nearer to California by 400 miles than via Panama. The spirit for vast enterprise, is surely abroad in the land. Cin. Gazette. Indiana Gold. The editor of the P.loomington Tribune, who has recently been on a visit to the "gotd diggings" in th'n State, eavs: ' N The gold is found on Burnard's creek in Morgan county, some five miles from Martinsville; and we were informed by a gentleman on the ground, (and who had considerable experience in Virginia cold mines,) that he has explored the principal vein for twelve miles.

In a recent conversation with J. R. Stafford, inventor of the Process, of Drying Floor, Meal, &c, for which a gold medal was awarded at a late Institute Fair, we gathered tho following facts: From a bag of flour or meal, subject lo this process, sixteen pounds of water are taken, but by a very mod erate heat and without afFecting the starch or gluten. Of course sixteen pounds of flour or meal must be , added, to fill the barrel, but when it comes to be wet -up for bread, it absorbs the extra amount of water, and more." The meal relieved of water is perfectly dry and sweet, and the difference in its swell from even freshly ground meal which has been kiln-dred, is very perceptible. Meal thus prepared will k sweet for years, and (being guarded from external moisture by paint, oil or cement) may bo carried round the world and summered on the equator without injury. Those who have tas'ed American meal in Europe, and know bow musty and insipid it commonly is, can best realize the national, universal value of this drying invention. N. Y. Tribune. A religious protect against slavery has been made by the New England Association of Congregational ministers, numbering some 500 members. The address was msde by a committee, and is very elaborate, as may be inferred from the fact that it H 92 pugt-8 in leoglh. Tho positions assumed aro that slavery is repugtiaut to religion and humanity; that all cltsses areopp-sedto it, and ditfer in regard toils origin, cfffci s, and removal; thai the "Bible argument" of tho South in favor of it continuance, has been the cuuse of extreme anti-slavery men drying the hand of fellowshio to the slaveholder, and that both these positions aro wrorij and injurious to the camo of final emancipation. Jv. Cour. fjT-A French war steamer recently arrived at Havana, and tendered her services to the Government in repelling any invasion that might be anticipated, for which the captain General expresed bis obligations in the warmest terms; and the newspopers of the day made a great fuss about it, as they do about everything in that country.
