'Connected with the history of this causo
I would give you somo interesting facts,
slibwing the motives and feelings of Judgo
Hall; but I am too feeble to write, and I
have no disposition now to rovivo charges
which can have no effect upon tho judgo
merit which posterity will form from the
records; Although the Judge violated
orders and fled from tho defence of the
oily, and, in his proceedings against me
for attempt, committed blunders which
were extraordinary, if not criminal, it was
not in my nature to broolc over them after
the brilliant closo of the campaign, and,
hearing aflerwrd3 lhat he manifested con
trition and repenlonce; I cheerfully forgave
him.
'The Judge's character, however, should
be out of thejfiuestion in ibis case;or n tleast
I have no desire to assail if The great
point is thin. Ought not Congress lo inter
pose and return a fine, imposed;as mine was;
for the performance of an act which was
indispensable lo the safety of tho country?
And if not, will not the precedent prejudice
the public interest in a similar emergency,
should ono arise! Can it be expected that
a general will take a high and necessary
reponsibility for tho safety nf his country,
if he is insulted, fined, or imprisoned by a
mistaken or vindictive judjje, -whoso fiat,
under an erroneous view of what is duo to

in
W,. Imvr. received thofirst number of tho 'Wash-
iuotokian, a i cmpcranco paper puuiisueu ai
Harrisburg, by John S. Ingram, at two dollars per
year. It is needless to say lo moso acquaimeu wun
him that it is well got up, and ably conducted. In
gram must certainly be classed among the thorough
go-ahead boys. He has driven steam rowxn un
til ho burst hia toiler, and is now advocating WA
Tr.n rown. You aro right, John. Watku row-
r.n is far preferable to steam, and much ciikaveiii
whilo it is lofs liable to explosion. Wo shall now
cxpoct a puff from our fr end Ingram for tho Fish
ing creek water power.Moy be that ho will includo
theinou-r nsusitir, if he has discarded tanza.
The Louisville Advertiser says;
A few days ago in Hardin county, a

tised for sale. The people of that neigh-

bid off property solu on execution, un
that account; when tne Uay oi paie arriveu,
none of them attended. A minister of the

of sale. He was the only bidder. He

He drove the cow home, paying for her
just twelve and a half cents.'
