It'lCl"pt1‘l Court of that City, and acquitted.
This verdict was rendered undv-r the fol-
lowing instruction from the Judge, viz:—
“Tliat if the jury believe from the evi-
dence in their cases that the defen lants to
this prosecution, assembled with the in-
tent, and did with violence and by force
tawe possession of the True American of-
fice, they are guilty of a riot, and they
must find them guilty, and assess their
fine in their discretion from once cent to
one hundred dollars.” ,
Also under the following instruction,
moved by the defendants’ counsel, and ac-
cepted by the Judge:
“That if the jury believe that the True
American press was a public nuisance,
and could not exist in its then present lo-
cation and condition without being anuis-
ance, the defendants were justifiable in
abating it.”

VVHA'I"S TN THE \VIND?
The subjoined paragraph, taken from the
Washington correspondence of th'e‘ Journal 04'
Commerce, discloses a fact of some interest, not
to ‘the slave-holding portion ofilie United States’
only, butto all the freemen who compose ilie
population ofourcouniry. We do uotdoubt the
authenticity ofthis information: and, ifilie wri-
ter has any further or more particular informa-
tion on this subjec't we invite him to reveal it.
VVAsriiso-ros, October 20th 1845.
“Mr. Calhoun, towards the close of the
late Administration, despatched an agent
to the island of St. Domingo, for what
particular object it was not known. He
was paid out of the secret service fiind.—
This agent (Mr. Hogan) has returned, and
made a voluminous, and as I understand,
an interesting report, which will probably
some day see the light. It is conjectured
that it relates chiefly to the condition of
the Spanish portion of the island, and the
situation and prospects of the Doniiniciims,
—-their war with the I‘Iuytiens,—the poli-
cy of the English and French governments
in regard to them, and the slaveliolding
portion of the West India Islands general-
ly, &c. It has been supposed that the
British Government, and perhaps the Gov-
ernment of France also, will take such a
c'ourse as will aid the entire abolition of
slavery in this Island, and indeed, in all the.
Spanish and French Islands. The subject
is one of some interest to the slaveholding
portion of the United States."
Jlfore Jllormon Humbng.—Tlie Racine
\Visconsin)-Advocate of the 7th inst says:
We have for some days heard it talked
about, that a pretended Prophet of this de-
luded sect, named Strarrg, has been eu-
deavoring to find a pretext for getting a
footl-iolrd in Wisconsin for his fanatical fol-
lowers. Copper plates are certilix-.-d to
having been dug up not far front Bur-
lington, with t-abalistic inscriptions on
them. The editor of the Soutliport Tel-
egraph has seen these mysficlrl plates, and
his former iucredulity in regard to the ra-
tionality of Mormoni:=m, would seem to be
somewhat staggered.
The following is given in the Telegraph
as an “extract from the translation” of
the inscription on the brass plates. By
whom the translation was made, the rela-
tor saith not.
“My people are no more. The mighty
are fail-len and the young slain in battle.-
Their bones bleached on the plain by the
noonday shadow. l'h_e houses are level-
ed to the dust and in the moat are the
walls. They shall be inhabited.-
Ihave in the burial served tl‘ie:ri,- and
their Death shade towards the suri’s rising

not, but the elect and faithful there shall
dwell.”

J\"ew P1'lS2l'.lC7tl of.7lfca'?ico.~— On the 15th
Gen. I-Ierrera was formally proclairneil
President of the Republic, and upon the
morning of the lhtli lie took the oaths of
oflice, in the presence of both l~‘.'ouses of
Congress, assembled in the Chamber of
deputies. The President pronounced a
‘discourse upon the occasion,which ma- es
patriotic promises, and recrignixes the tie-
ccssity of constitutional reform.
He says all the powers of government
are paralyzed for want of means. In
pointing out particular evils from this
scource, the President says-—"l he army
cannot move; territory usurped, will re-
7/iriin u.s'ur/ml; and the hope of recovering
it b ing once lost, the usurpation will be
successfully and grailually continued until
it embraces the ivhole Republic, and (I
shudder to confess it) Mexico, with so
many elements of abundance and greatness
will disappear from the number of inde-
pendent nations.’

A curiosity, in the way ofan apple, was
brought to the ullice yesterday. It was
dug up on Saturday, in Eighth street, on
the griund in the rear of the building for-
merly known as the Sriilorls Snug [z’arlmr.
This ground was filled in about 1825 ; corr-
sequently this apple has been buried for
twenty years, yet, when exhumed, except-
ing that its skin was black as ebony, it
was plump, solid, juicy and undecayed.—
After exposure to the air the fruit slirivel-
ed somewhat, but is still solid and juicy.
It was iiribedded in clay without any cov.
ering around it.——Cour. rs‘ Enq.
Great Ifobbe/-3/.— The messenger of
Messrs. Livingstsn & Wells on Thursday
night had his trunk stolen from the car in
the depot at Rochester. The agent upon
arriving at the depot found the car doors
were yet locked and the car house full of

of the cars, placed his trunk on a seat and
covered it with a bufliilo robe. He then
had occasion to step out upon the platform
locking the door behind him- He remain-

meeting his attention for four years past,
lto the subject of rot in the potatoe, in
, hopes of discovering the cause ofa disease
' which begins to threaten very serious con-
sequences. Mr. Stowell thinks the rot is
owing to the sound seed having all run
out, and that too little new seed has been
produced. He has himself produced a
5 ire crop of new potatoes from tubers of
the Foxite variety, and out of nearly fifty
bushels not a single potatoe is diseased.
The vines were free from blight. A patch
of Mercers, close by, were greviously af-
flicted with the rot. ~—JV'eu-ark Adv.

The Court adjourned on Friday night last after
disposing of the Cargill case. But two cases
were tried since our last. The first was the rapt!
case in Weston. The negro was found guilty
and received his sentence of imprisoniticrit fol’

State vs Foster M.-Cargill——'l‘he prist ner was
informed against for the crime of r1iauslaugliter',-
in killing a man named \\ illiani 'l ticker: both-

Cargill, who appuirs to be a man oftlie highest-
rcspcciabiliiy, had for two or three years bear
very obn-cxious to ‘fucker, who by the evidence
in the case was shown to be a blackguard oftbe
most loathsome description. He had sought ev-
ery opportunity for publicly attacking _Cargill and’
in the most brutal language had openly aspersed‘
the reputation of his wife and family. It was
proved that upon the occasion of the atlray, Car-
gill was returning borne from his place of busi-
ness and as he was passing Tuckerls blacksmith
shop, which was on his road, _'_1‘ucker assailed
him in the mos foul and abusive manner, and
finally kicked hiai ; after iliis, Tucker seized an
enormous club and hrandisbed it around his head
evidently intending that its weight should fall
on Cargill. \\ hilc the club was in the air, Car-
gill stabbed Tucker with his pocket knife and
the wound resulted in the death of Tuck er.
The Jury after four minutes deliberation retur-

deavoring to stop the oxen, they became fright-

ier says: “We are happy to be able to state that
this able representative of Connecticut in the U.
S. Senate, after having been for six or eight
weeks, prostrate with a fever, is at length con-
talescent. We trust it may be in our power, at
no distant day, to announce his entire recovery.
We could ill-spare his services in the Senate of
the United States, at the approaching session of
Congress."
The result of the recent Georgia election show;
most conclusively, that the State was carried by
the Locofocos, in 1344, as was charged by the
Whigs, by the uiost consummate andtlagraat
frauds. If any thing was wanting to prove the
perfect truth of thatcliarge, the present Whig
victory in that Slate furnishes the most striking
evidence of its correctness. I
