The Meendiaries of Gauley Bridge.

AT the Superior court of Law for kanawha
county (Judge Summers presding) which conven-
ed on the 2Ist ult., the GRAD Jury returned four
bills of Indictment against John 81 Mathew Kin
caid for the burning of this noble bridge. MIR.
Wilson attorney for the Commonwealth, the Pro.
secutor; Messrs. Lowell, Baldwin and White, the
counsel for the accused.-'Hhe two first indct-
ments, charging each of the Kncads with 4
felony, were set aside by the Judge; among other
reasons, upon the ground, that from the omission
of the Legislature, the burning ofd bridge toGS
not felony either by statute or common Latc.
The question then came on, upon JOINT indic-
ment, for a miSdemeaaor under the Virginia
Statute About so witnesses examined GU
the part of the Commonw eath; who went 10
prove, that John Kincaid 81 sons, owned ferry
near the bridge, which had been destroyed by Its
erection; that he had at several times thrsatensd
to destroy the bridge, and once twice TO burn
it; that he was absent from home on the night Of
its burning, and gave contradictory accounts of
himself.-Similar testimony was exhibited against
Matthew K.-After trial of two days, most
respectable Jury, on retiring about 10 minutes,
brought in verdict of $4,000 against each The
Deiendants-On Saturday the 10Th, the Judge al
ter some pertinent and eloquent remarks the
enormiiy OF their oaeaee, pronounced judgment
upon them-he sentenced them TO be imprisoned in
the public Jail of the county for the Term Of three
years; 20 be exposed in the pillory year for
the space OF one hour al time; and at the expi-
ration of the three years, they are to stand COM
mitted to the jail until they shall enter into re-
cognizances, each in the of $1,000, with
two or more good securities for the like sum,
that they shall keep the peace and be of good be-
Ia viour for the further space OF years To the
4ih indictment, against both Tor conspiracy at the
common law, the States Attorney entered .NoHe
PJOsequi.
The omission of the Legislature to punish for
the destruction of bridge felony, will no
doubt be Immediately supplied. The burning of a
barn, OF wheat stack, Sc is declared by the
law; but the burning OF so splendid and useful
an establishment the Gauley Brdge-whch
cost the commonwealth about 100000.

| ,d. whether he was not admonished by his 90 con-
science, that he had opposed the election of Mr..
Adams scrongfuiiy, or supports his administration
coyrnptiy. If the Editor was right in his oppos-
sion, he is evidently wrong in his support of Mr..
A., and we cannot see how he reconcile it
10 his conscience TO embrace the present Chief
Magistrate with all his political sins still unatoned
for.
We know the delicate situation in which the
Editor of the Reporter is placed, and it would
afford us pleasure to expose him and wound his
feelings by contrasting his past with his present
political course; nor indeed should we in all pro-
liability have noticed him at all, but for the very
great interest he appears to take in Missouri cleo
tons. The Reporter ofthe 7th inst. expresses the
wish first that should elect Mr. Scott; second
ly, that should not re-elect col. Benton, and
then holds in reserve good word for Mr.. Bates,
in event of his election. OF the fate of Mr. Scott
the editor will be apprized upon the receipt of
this paper; OF the reelection of col. Benton, we
assure him there is not the least doubt; and now
il is proper TO give him some knowledge of his
new friend, we plainly he is to be claimed
for the use of the administration. 1t will be high
y gratifying then, have no doubt, for the Editor
of the Reporter TO learn, that MIR. Bates has been
for the last years the consistent enemy, and if
we not mistaken, the constant reviler of MIR
Clay; and has dealt freely with the private cha
racter of the Secretary any of our acquain-
ship for Mr. Adams, he is the enemy of Mr..
Clay, and upon the whole, we cannot that the
administration will gain much by his election. 10.

Jas the successor of Mr. Cook, is gentleman OF

60 Without apology, permit me to state, that
MIR. Cook is beaten, by who, in the political
world, is scarcely known-not even in Illinois
and who receveee considerable majority, although
he run with another Jackson candidate in oppo-
4 stion to MIR. Cook. The Jacksonians vs. oud
have done much better, had they been permitted
10 take up man of their own choosng-a
but one.
g Edwards is elected Governor, and that only
by his forbearance in relation TO the Pretideatal
election, and by repeated expressions of friendship
\ for Gen. Jackson You may look with safety, for
Illinois and Missouri. Scott is beaten also. -

Archer. II ne means his count ymen generally, 1
will answer that too. When your memorial was
first spoken of in this county, at least in this par,
OF II, the general impression was, that il contained
request TO Mr.. Archer to resign his seat, to
make room for Mr.. Giles.
And there were some who would even have
gone that far; but the more prudent said tina, this
would be doing wanton injury 10 the feelings of
MIR. Archer, and was not to be justified by the ne
cessities of the case. And observed farther, that
we might elect Mr.. Ge., at The next election
without any sort OF violence Mr.. Archer's feel
ings not then dreaming about usurps,ions or any
such terrible things. Have patience, l will soon
finish the tale now. The first certain information
we had of the contents of your memorial, was It's
publication, along with the answer TO it. There
was then no necessity for such one in this coun-
ty. The object was accomplished Mr.. Giles
had consented to serve if elected
only now have TO ask the gentleman, whether
he Is satisfied with this plain tale? If he is not, it
can be proved, if he wishes it.
Gentlemen, you may think it offcious, in an
obscure individual like me, TO attempt to answer
this Freehoder's address 10 you, and thus to snatch
the weapon from ADLER hand But hear my
reasons before you condemn In the first place,
stand in the social relationship TO you that
he does, and therefore have the right 10 adj
dress you. In the next place, | am countyman
OF Mr.. Giles and neighbor, and therefore could
answer some of his questions more certainly than
you, who are at distance. And lastly, saw his
address fimsy, that even could answer
him, & thereby save your men of talents for better
game 1t would be pity TO waste talents against
so weak an adversary. 1t would be, Peter
Pfymley says, &c like cutting down gnats with
bFoadsword, or beating the air with club
II he should hereafter show signs of better
son, will not promise to answer him, for may
not have leisure abilities, and in that will
gladly yield my post to greater abilities, and lei
another do that good tuhich cannot be performed
by ANOTHER FREEHOLDER.

In conformity with the feelings manifested by
the people of the neishboring county of Louisa
and pointing towards PHILIP PENDLEroN BAR
BoUR, IS the itiest and most proper Representa-
tive of the public will of this Congressional Dis
trict-- "A large and respectable number (and without
doubt majority,) of the Freeholders, had il in
contemplation on Monday, being Court-day, to en-
Ter into measures similar TO those adopted by the
people of Louisa. For this purpose alone, and
with no other motive in view, number of free
holders attended court butin consequence of the
detention of the court during the greater mart nj
the day, on important business, there was not time
left after its adjournment, sufficient TO carry THEN
intentions into effect.
The subject will be acted on at the next court,
and the freeholders requested 10 attend.
