 Jrnited States, In the Pulaski Circuit Court, June Term 1891 :, Vs. for the murd CT of c. F. Hardy Robinson. Owen.
 No case has perhaps ever occurred in our Territory, which elicited more feeling than this. Robinson had surre nd cred him self within six hours after the combat, and was the first to announce that one had oc- cured, and that Owen Lad fallen by his thanksgiving at the same time a narrative of the occurrence, which would have com pfetely exonerated him from censure-- they met alone in the woods, and conse- quehtly no means existed of disproying RohinsoD's statement, but circumstantial evidence. Owen was a youth of l9, Ro- binson man of family, 45 years. Of age, and seriously afflicted with thG rheuma- tism. No previous quarrel was proven to have existed, on the contrary 1t was testi- fed that Robinson was at Owens fathers, where the young man resided, on the foot ing of good neighborhood. on the evening previous to the catastrophe. Two wit nesses swore 10 threats made by Owen some two or three month previous, but they were considered as mero youthful boasts. Robinson was on horseback and Owen on foot, when the conflict commenced. fhere was much cross swearing in relation to some of the most material incidents con- neeted with tt,e affair. Twenty eight wit nesses were sworn, and nearly all of them underwent the most rigid cross cxamina- tion. The trial commenced on Monday and terminated on Saturday. The coua- sci seem to have participated in the feel ings of the public, and every nerve was strained. The Jury returned verdict of .Naas'apghter, and the prisoner was sem teneed 10 eighteen montifs imprisonment.

SUSPENSION OF H0sTILITIEs.


 We fclicitate tue public upon the pros- poet of a cessation of that relentless hosti- iity which Las beon, fsf ti.e last eigl,i or ten weeks, waged between the two papers in this place. We have every reason to form this conclusion from the fact, that in the last weeks Gazette, every thing of locat political east, was excluded from it's columns. This, in onr opinion, tends con- clHsively to show, that the Editor of Cat paper is now extremely anxious to with draw, or rather becI-oat, from a contro- yersy, he and his friends were the first 10 agitate, and the first to seek. Having become quite satisfied, it appears, that the violent and abusive course pursued to- wards Col. Desha and his friends, " as the most impolitic that could have possibly been adopted, and calculated to do their cause much harm and but little good, they now eyince strong disposition to change their policy, by lying Meir sranderous tongaes and keeping profound silence from this until the election.
 As this controversy has been one, not of onr oaen seeking, and as our hot-heoded ene- mics have now cooled o9tf and beg fer q,tts4'~ fer, although 10 have abundance of anu- Daion in store, we have no disposition to prosecute them farther, at least for the present, but we take this occasion to say to them, that whenever they feel caustic, all they have to do Is to signify the same, and niey will always find us at home.
 Gideon Dunn and Darby Penticosf, the former as principal, and the latter as an accessory, were tried, at the late term of the Philips county Circuit Court, on an indictment for the murder of John Stand ford. Pentieost was acquitted without difficulty. Dunn's case, we are informed, had created great excitement, and much difficulty was had in obtaining a Jury.- ihe trial lasted four days, and resulted in verdict of Granddaughter. The prisoner was sentenced to one years Imprisonment Tn the county jail.

 Col. Milan seems to entertain no doubt of the success of lis enterprise; if he succeeds he will have the honor of taking the first craft of any description through the Raft. The advantages that will arise to this section of country, should the crew be successful, arevastly important, and will be properly anpre. fciated by all. Too much praise cannot be bestowed'o on Col.

.Hovement aeGiaa he HidianS.-On a requisition from the Governor of Illi- uois, a detachment of six companies of U. $. troops, from the 3d and 9th Regts. left Jefferson Barracks yesterday, in the steam boat Enterprise, for Rock Island, to quiet some difficulties at present ex- isting between our citizens and the Sac and Fox Indians in that neighborhood.- = Tue detachment, we understand, is ac- conpamed by General GAINES. We have no very definite account of the or igin of the disturbances: the Indians are said fe be the aggressofs-te have tres passed upon the property ot the whites, burning their fences, &c. The land upon which these Indians reside was sold by them to the II. States, but .by some arrangement they were allowedto re- main onit for longer time thaustipulat- ed in the treaty. They are now very unwilling to remove, being mnch attach ed to it as the burial place of their fore fathers; and it is thought necessary 10 apply fierce to effect the object.
 r. S. Since the above was written. we have learned, that the disaffcctcd Indi- ans are composed of small bands of the Sac, Fox, and Winnebago tribes; thata large proportion of the several nations have removed according 10 the treaty; and that those remaining express very hostile feelings towards the United States. .AslEsssears Repub!ieaq,.

Ch1ckosau h,dians.-We have been informed, from q source to be relied on, that at council of the chiefs which was lately convened al the Agency, this pco- pie have at length made up their minds conclusively Oil the subject of removal, and that communication had been pre- pared, and was delivered to the Agent, to be forwarded 10 the government, in which they express themselves highly pleased with the Choctaw lands, on the Red River, and with the lands on the head waters of the Brassos, in Texas; and they agree to commence their emi gratioa SO soon as district of country cansbe purchased for them in either of these districts.--.Nrmpisis .adv.

 In the language of the law, slaves Troopers are persons who listen un- der the walls or windows or the caves of house, to hearkcn after discourse, and there upon to frame sianderous and mischievous tales;' and they are said 10 be 'sa common nuisance, and indctable and punishable by fine, and to find surety for good behavior" ,"
 The defendant in this case, man named Loyett. was acquitted, because itwas proved in evidence, that he had been authorised by another man named Broadnax, to 20 about the premises of his house, and watch the conduct of his wife, and sec if there was any thing amiss. If such evidence had not been produced, Loyett certainly would have been found guilty, for the evidence on the part of the prosecution was, that the defendant went 10 the house of Broad maxim the evening, and looked in at the windows; and that he did tell siander- ous and mischievous tales of what he saw there.

A case of Hydrophobia, marked by q sudden and fatal ternination, occurred at Cincinnati at the beginning of the pre- sent month. The subject of this rnala- dy was young man named Morchead, on whom the symptoms made their ap- pearance on the 2d instant, and who sud denly expired on the evening of the suc- ceeding day. It is stated that all the usual characteristics of the disease were manifested during his short illness. and a subsequent examination Of the body sat isGed the four physicians who attended him. that the case was precisely such a one as is produced by the bite of a mad dog. lei, it is ascertained that the pa tient had not been bitten by such an an- imal. nor indeed had he ever been bitten but once, and that was nine years be- fore. and the animal not mad.
