that it produced only five hundred pounds

of the field above mentioned, and drew
the earth from the cellar upon it, cover

inches wben it wa3 evenly spread. This

the depth of six inches. Tho nest Spring
it wa3 harrowed thoroughly, and one-half

sown to oats. The result was one bun-

THE LAW OF TSEASON AND PIRACY.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT April
U4. Before Judge Butts.
Charge of Judge Letts to the Grand Jury
Traitors to be brought to Justice.
At the opening of tho Court, the Bench
was occupied by Judge Betts of this Dis
trict, and the Hon. William Sbipman of
tbo Connecticut District. A Grand Jury
having been impaneled, were then ad
dressed by Judge Belts, as follows:
Gentlemen or the Grand Jury :
You are not called together at this tim
I f & 1 1 s . i .
, uiscnarge oi mo orumary routino
0f the dutv of Grand Jurors. It will.
therefore,-be unnecessary that tho Court
phould address you on those topics. You
! J e
are convened in a solemn crisis of our na
tjonal affairs as an imoortant clement of
pen enemies, or peraons nracticms in secret
' from all avocations of life, neighbors, kin
: drcd, brothers, and sons, at tbo national
appeal, aro rapidly mustering and has
tening to the battle-fields, bravely and
freely to peril tbeir lives in support of the
vindication of thc Constitution jand laws
of our common country, openly assailed
by hostile armieB.
Your ministry, gentlemen, although
necessarily of a calm and peaceful char
acter, is only seoond in importance to
military power, in checking and 'counter
acting theee heinous crimes set on foot a-
gainst the peace and existence of Gov- j
ornment, and the property and lives of !
the people. The mot atrocious of na- '
tional offences are treason and piracy (the
latter involving war against all mankiod,
equauy who nobility against mo country
to which the offenders owo allegiance),
and concomitant to treason, the lesser,
but yet heinous, crime of misprison of
treason. The latter is only seoond to
treason in being negative m its character,
in willfully omitting to do what the duty
of a faithful citizen requires he should do
for tho safety of his country.
Our Constitution declares treason to
"consist in lovying war against the Uni
ted States, or in adhering to their ene
mies, giving them aid or comfort." The
law pronounces the penalty of death a
gainst every one convicted of the offense
in any particular of its definition or de
scription. Piracy conists in a forcible
capture or robbery on the high seas of
any vessel of her lading, by a vessel or
her company, not authorized by a lawful
commission from our Government, and
organized and acting under thc law of
nations, and is punishable by death in
any tribunal of all countries, where tho
offense is triable.
.Two yritncBu83 to overt acts of treason
are necessary to convict of the high crime,
or a confession by the accused in open
Court. His admission of acts Gone by
mm, wuue m ..imug ui vcruanj, me io-
gal evidence, and become, in judgment of
law, tantamount to thc testimony of two
Witnesses. Giving aid Or Comfort tO tho
enemies of the country consists in furn
ishing thc military supplies, food, cloth
ing, harbor, or concealment, or communi
cating information to them, helping their
hostilities against the country aud its
Government.
I avoid any explanation of thoparticu
w rules ana aoctrincs oi law appncaoio
to tucse ouenses, as mey arc more pern-
neni to oe given to petit jurors wnen ine
cnse oomca before the Court upon all its
merits. I now wish to lay before you, in
n comprehensive and distinct form, the

definitions of the offenses to which your

sending provisions, arms, or other sup-
Vcs to them, raising funds or obtaining
crPU,t for tue,r service; indeed, every
traitorous purpose manifested by acts,
committed m mis uistnct uy pcrsous ow-
ig allegiance to tho country, will be acta
of treason. It is not necessary that the
aocused should hove raised or created
war by his own acts; he levies war by ac
ting with those who have set it on foot, or
by seizing or, holding ports, or like acts
of hostile aggression.
Thc kindred crime or misprison of trea
son is this; If any person owing allegi
anso to the Government has knowledge
of acts of treason committed by others
within the jurisdiction of tho court, and
does uot make it known to tho Priesident
of the United States, or ouo of the Judg
es of tho United States, or the Governor
of tho Stato, or a judgo or magistrate
thereof, ho becomes guilty of misprison of
treason,' and subject to-seven years' ira
prisogmjnt and a fine of $1,000 for tho
offense, and it is the duty of tho Grand
Jury to prenent for trial thcroforo such
offfnder, whatever may bo hia individual
connection or relationship with the offen
der. Tbe belief of individuals in'tho right of
resisting Government, either individually
or by Status, on tbc claim of secession or
otherwise from the authority of the Gov
ernment, affords no justification or palli

all your proceedings. You aro not to

into general circulation and become known.
This is the first Grand Jury that has
been assembled, probably in this Court,
for a course of inquiry of this character.
The public mind is anxious and eager to
know what measures have been taken by
the public authorities in order to enable
the Government to secure ad defend the

You must not be led by the
prcs.-ure and anxiety of your friends to
speak of thc ewes intrusted to your in

the importunities and intercessions either
for or against those who may be subject
to your inquiry and investigation. For

all good warriors, ranging from 18 to 40

tritious breadstuff ever used by man.
Look at tbc Scotch with tbeir oatmeal
porridge as robust a set of men as ever
lived. A Highlander will scalo moun
tains ail day, upon a diet of oatmeal stir
red with bi3 finger in water, fresh from a
gurgling spring, in a leather cup.

bet a twenty-five dollar over coat that ho
couia swallow a mouse, ine bet was ao-

Tho swallowing of tho mouse is as trna
