The indlotment was then read by the ClSrk,
laths hearing of tbs Jury,slier which the
osm was opened on behalf of the Common

ted that, after careful and deliberate con
sideration, the eouniel representing the pros
ecution would be compelled to ask from, the
Jury a verdict of “guilty of murder Is the
first degree.** They expected to prove that
tie defendant, Keenan, had entered the oar
of which the deceesed, Obey, was conductor;
that he bad behaved in a very unbecoming
manner, using very insulting
language; that Obey remonstrated with tie
prisoner two or three times, but tie tamo in
sulting language was repeated as soon as tie
? book of the dooeased had been turned; that
wheh Obey had borne with this as long as he
bad any right to, ho undertook to use hie au
thority, as conductor, to eject the defendant;
that la attempting to do so, he was set upon
by several persons, and stabbed by the prta*
** oner at tie bar; from tie effects of which he
died. [The knife alleged to have been need
by Keenan was produced by the counsel.}
They would further prove that the prisoner,
had used threats against , the defendant, aad
show from tie testimony that the subbing
was wlllfnl, deliberate and premeditated.

wealth intended to pursue; in tils ease, Mr.
Hampton cited a number of authorities.

Destructive Firo at York, Fa.
On Friday morning last, the car works of
Messrs.-Ilgenfrtts A White, at York, Pa.,
wore entirely destroyed by fire,.together with
tho agricultural end maohlne works of the
Messrs. Oln gee. The first named firm lost
all their valuable machinery and' material,
large la quantity, as they were engaged in
filling a few heavy oontraets. A magnificent
new pasesnger ear, bulit by this firm tor the
Beading and Columbia Bailxosd, stood on a
side track, and was .totally oonsumod. The
oar was nearly finished, at a coat of two
thousand dollars. Their aggregate loss Is,
perhaps, thirty thousand dollars. They are
insured for about $2,600 in eaoh of the two
York companies; and they have some foreign
insuraaoo. But their loss over all Insurance
is severe.
The Mctsrr. Din gee, too, are completely
, burnt out. ; The loss they havp sustained may
count seven or eight thousand dollars—pos
sibly more. On this, they have an insurance
of about $2,600 in the York County Uutual,
together with protection in some other com
panies. The insurance will hardly cover more
then five thousand dollars.

FROM WASHINGTON.
OUR SPECIAL DISPATCHES,
(Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette. 1
Washihotoh, Nov. 10, 1862.
The following paragraph oontains the sum
ming up of the Harper’s Ferry Cemmlssfon,
touching General White:
Of the subordinate officers referred <• in-this
case, with the exception of Colonol Thomas
H.-Ford, the Commission finds nothing in
their oonduet that calls for censure, on the
contrary General Julius White merits its ap
probation. He appears, from the evidence,
i:o have acted wltn -decided capability and
oourago.
Tbe following is tho concluding passage
whloh deals with Gen. UoClellan :
The Commission has remarked freely on
the conduct of Oolonel Miles, an old offioar,
killed in one of the battles of our country,
and it cannot, from any motives of delioacy,
refrain from censuring those in high oom
mand, when it thinks such oensure deserved.
The General-in-Chief has testified that Gen.
MeOlellan, after having reooived orders to
repel the enemy invading the State of'Mary
land, marohed only six miles per day on an
average when pursuing tbe invading enemy.
The General-in-Chief also testified that in
his opinion Gen. UoClellan oould and should
have relieved and protected Harper's Ferry,
and in this opinion tbe Commission folly
oonour.
The evidenoe thus introduced oonfirms tbe
Commission in the opinion that Harper's
Ferry, as well as Maryland Heights, was pre
maturely surrendered. The garrison should
havo been satisfied that relief, however long
the delay, would come at last, and that a
thousand men killed in Harper’s Ferry would
have been made a small loss nad the post been
secured, and probably saved two thousand at
Antletam. How important was this defense
we can now appreciate. Of the 97,000 tqeo,
comprising at that time the whole of Lee’s
army, more than one-third was attacking
Harper’s Ferry, and of this the main body
was in Virginia.
By reference to the. evldeoos, it will be seen
that at the moment Colonel Ford abandoned
Maryland Heights, his little army was in
reality relieved by Generals Franklin and
Bbmner v i corps at Crampton’a Gsp, within
seven miles of his position, and that after the
surrender of Harper’s Ferry, no time was
given to parole prisoners even, before twenty
thousand troops were hurried from Virginia,
and tho entire fores went off on the double
quick to relieve Lee, who was being attacked
at Antletam. Had the garrison been slower
to surrender, or the Army of the Potomao
swifter to msreb, tbe enemy would have been
forced to raise the siege, or have been taken

writer of the report.

The World’t correspondent with the Army
of the Potomao arrived in town to-day. He
says that the matiny so confidently predicted
by Gen. McClellan's friends has not taken
place. Not a musket has been stacked , not
a man refused to serve, or talked of refusing.
The Berald’t story to tbs contrary is simply

Since thebattle of Antietam all the oom -

be relieved from serving under McClellan;
•o have most ef tbe offioers of note in com
mand of divisions and brigades. Hooker
and Banter have alio expressed an until
lisgnsii to serve under UoCtsUau.
The opinions of Holt and .others well qual
ified to judge are to tbe efTeot that, so far
from It leading to the disorganization of tbe
army, McClellan’s removal wilt be a remedy
for that impending calamity.
Three Wisconsin regiments in the Pofotuee

Tbe Pr—t of this morning contains an offi
cial letter from Gen. Holleok-io the Secretary
of War, which throws tome' light on General
McClellan's removal from theeommand of the
Army of the ln tbU letter he says,
among other things, that"iooß after thebattle
of Antletam, Gen. McClellan. was urged to
give me information of intended move
ments, in order that It he move 4 between the
enemy and Washington, the rslnforoeafenU
oould be sent from this place. On the Ist of
October, flndingtbatbe purposed to operate
from Herper’s Ferry, I urged him to -cress
the river a; once, and give battle to the fne
my, pointing out to.alm the dtsadvanUges of
deUylng till the autjimn rains had swollen
the Potomao and Impairoftbe roads. >
“On the 6th of October he was peremptorily
ordered to orois the Potomao, and give-battle
to the enemy or drWk him South. I said to
hto ;-iXa&£.army must move now the
roads art in good condition.*' It will be > ob
served that three weeks have eUpsed. since
that order was given. In my opinion there
has been no want ol supplies in the army
under Gen. MeOlellan as to prevent his oem-.
pllanoe with my orders to advance opon the
enemy. Had he moyed his army; to the seatb
side of the Potomao, he oould have received
his supplies almost as readily ashy remaining
inactive on the oortb side.' 1 D*
