Old Tom Ritchie, of. tho Richmond Enquirer, is certainly a remarkable man, and we therefore suppose that the following* admirable charcoal sketch of him, in Brooks’ best style, cannot fail to interest our rca ,dcrs: _ • ‘ I met this man, whom I have long considered our of the most extraordinary men m Virginia, for the second'or third time in my life; but no\v for tho first time in the social' circle, with a determination, howev er, to avoid personal introduction, though often solicit ed by riiy friends, because I wanted to be untrammelled 'in what I consider a just sketch of him’as a public character. When one knows men, one cannot often speak what one thinks. I consider, then, Mr. Ritchie one of the ablest editors in tliis or in any other country, lie has vivacity, tact, the power of commanding at tention, something of self-respect, much of dignity, and above nil, persevering, 'unremitting industry, prob ably U 5 years- of age. “There is old** Tom,*’ is the remark, whenever he appears in public. “Old Tom, who 1” says I. “Old Tom Ritchie—don’t you know old Tom Ritchie 1” “Old Tom,” then, os they cull him, is a relic of “old Virginia,” “Old Toin” has mingled for lifty years in the best circles of Virginia, among lier ablest men, und “Old ToW’ is'ap “Oul Mortality the spore, lean, lank, embodiment of filly yenrs-ago Virginian. “Old Tom,” is a gaunt, hungry looking gentleman, his teeth gone, his nose prominent, his eye bright; of a quick, frisky, tremulous gait, ner vous some; hut nerves-of cat-gut, will never wear out, —a man that v. on’t die,"but don’t belong now,and has not belonged for halfn century, to this earth of ours; but whom Heavenj'for-some unknown purpose,.has, us it i were, kept as a spectre, Hitting over other -peoples’ I graves, the bone and muscl? of what tilings and men { were in 1700, “Old Tom” lias no blood in iris veins, 4 gJ/- r V Bft y» though 1 hav’nt asked, he is never »!.'

In short, “Old 7’om” died fifty years ago, all except his spirit, in which he dhlers from all other men 1 ever saw, — : for oilier peoples’ spirits go olf first, and tlica their body dies afterwards, " To 'bo understood;'.though, in this drawing of the bones and muscles of “Old Tom,” I must follow il with some sketches of his character, > Ho works like « dog yet* 1 don’t believe he ever sweats —(perspires I might say)—even under a hot Virginia sun.

The four first of the parties named below have been convict ed oß.mucder An. the- second. degree. ....The .fifth, McDeyitt, was on Friday morning last, acquitted c . . . The sth iley of July last, it being celebra ted in honor of the declaration of our inde pendence, was a day upon;whioh business was generally suspended. The first place where the party charged with the murder were seen collected together, was- at Mc- Murray’s tavern, on the fall’s road, a short distance from Baltimore. —Five of them had repaired thither about 10 o’clock, a. tn. and were soon after joined by the other two, thus making up the complement of what has since been denominated the "Swingletrco Club.” In the neighborhood of twelve o’clock, the party, viz: Griffith, Corran, Hanna, Konig, McUivett, Gether, and McCollum,'left Mar ray’s and proceeded towards the city. In Howard street, they were met by a man named Davis, upon whom two of them at tempted-,an assault.- Upon his informing them, who he'was, or rather-who he was not, they left him and bent their course towards the Golden Horse tavern, at the corner of Howard and Franklin streets, where the murder was perpetrated.’' it is now about noon-day—the inmates of the tavern are at dinner—a noise is heard, in'the street front ing the premises like the dashing of. a stone against a .wagon. A dog chained under the wagon commenced barking. This attracted the attention of those who were at dinner in the tavern.—Burns, ad'iua-of the wagon and dug, jumped up,' ran. to' the. barooom win dow, looked .out ,and..saw an'lndividual beating his dog with a club or sWinglc-'tree. H« went, to protect the animal, and was. kndeked dow.n. 'Henry, the hostler, also went out and was likewise prostrated by *“!“% do-- felled, to the earth,by blows inflicted.with a s.winglo-treo ami jockcy-stiek. A man na med Hoke was endeavoring to command the peace, a pistol was snapped at him, by Han na, vyhich was." subsequently fired oil', the 'batlstirking.a spectator of the scene, named Lowery,’, taking, oil'a portion of-his thump.— : At tins period of the tragedy, Biglnpn, hav ing been prostrated, with blood spouting from his ears and mouth, (from blows previ ously received,) Curran; with demon-like ferocity, went deliberately anil picked up a largo stone weighing from twelve to fifteen pounds, returned, stood over the prostrate dying man, raised the stone with both hands,' and will! relentless fury dashed it with full force against the head of the unfortunate de ceased, mashing in his sktfll. Konig now appeared conspicuous in the revolting tinge dy. He, with less of feeling titan the tiger; i when Bigham was, to all human perception, [dead, grasped another smaller stone, weigh ing five or six pounds, and threw it, too, n gainst his head, thus completing the already thrice completed butchery of a human being. The following is a condensed report of tjip trial of Jefferson Griffith, .supposed to' have been most conspicuous in the affray ai above detailed/ The indictment against him as in all the other cases, contained twi "counts.” First, for causing the death ol John Bigham by inflicting blows on bis bead with a club or swingle-tree.

His recollection of the sensations experienced during the accident is distinct, and fearful indeed. IllsJirst expectation was that the car would be'stopped; but it continued to advance, and thus increased the pressure— those parts of his body which w’ere the most, prominent being' the first to feel the effects of the crush. In a moment of two he felt his ribs .giving way—and to this succeeded the terrible sensation connected with the .vio lent injection of the blood from the body to the head, which to him like a burning j | dame suddenly, passing from the Hitter to I the former. At this moment he became | senseless, and die car wasimmediately there after stopped and removed backward fur his release—the body falling to.tlie ground as that of a dead man. His return to re-ani mation he described as though he were un der the eftectsof i)i\ unpleasant dream, from which he felt conscious he would be relieved when he, awoke.
