The proceedings in the case Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
cs. the Messrs. Briens, (proprietors Of
the Antletam Iron Works) for the con.
demnation of land for the use ofthe ca.
nal, commenced on Monday the 18th
instant. The argument of counsel was
begun on the Wednesday following at
Belinda Springs, and was continued
from day to day until noon on Thurs.
day last. Yesterday morning the Jury
convened at Sharpsburg for consulta.
ton, the result of which we have not
yet learned.
The canal traverses several miles of
the land of these proprietors, occupying
much hrst and second rate bottom land.
which their counsel valued at $3.50
ana sl25 per acre respectively. The
whole quantity of land taken amounts
to between $50 and 160 acres, and the
claim for land and all damages prefer
red by the proprietors, exceeded $40.
900. The argument of counsel on
both sides, from what we have learned
anu Witnessed, was very able and full
OF interest. 1t was conducted on the
part of the canal company by B. Price
James Dixon, r. Fl. Henderson, and
Walter Jones, Esquires; and on the
part of the proprietors by Joseph /.
Merrick, VIM. Price, and Frederick
A. Schley, Esqrs. General Jones con.
cluded the argument, and made a most
able and powerful appeal in defence Of
the company and of those principles.
which should govern the jury in their
estimate ofthe damages done and ben.
efits conferred by the work. He spoke
day and half, and drew around him
a thronged and attentive audience,
which, in various ways, testified their
admiration of the orator, who, on thi,
occasion, gave bright specimen Of
that chaste, classical, and effective elo.
qucnce, which is peculiarly his, and of
those powers of ingenuity, reasoning
and argument, which he possesses in a
degree scarcely equalled at the Bar Of
this country.

OF apprehension, until Monday last,
when returning from Frederick-tho'
assured that all necessary guards for
the safety of passengers had been pro-
vldcd, and were daily examined, lest
they might get out of order. This con.
hdence was the result of an accident
which happened on the preceding Sat.
urday. When descending the plane

and perhaps of twelve miles an hour,
being near the foot ofit-the horse fell:
out such was the vigilance of the dri.
yer and his assistant, and so great the
power OF the breaks, that the heavily
laden car was stopped before any of us
knew the cause of it, and the horse did
not appear to have suffered an injury,
though has hind legs were lying on The
RAJ! He was much frightened-but
gathering himself up in one or two min.
utes' he was put into his place again,
and performed the remainder Of his
trip with fine spirit, and at perfect
ease. On being released, we could not
observe any lameness or hurt-though
some one said that part of his skin,
"oi the size of cent" was rubbed off.
The knowledge thus obtained will
render it hard in us to excuse an acct
dent happening at the inclined planes;
Tor, unless because OF some very extra.
ordinary circumstances, il must be the
result OF pure carelessness. And a.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION In MExIcoi

From the New Orleans Bee-Extra, June 20
ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN MExIcol
The schooner Dorchester, from We
ra Cruz, brings the intelligence that an
other revolution has just broken out in
Mexico. From a hasty perusal of the
file of papers furnished us, we gather
the few particulars subjoined.
1t seems that a Lieutenant Colonel,
lgnacio Escalada, began the revolt at
a place called Morelia, on the Goth ult.
and was joined soon after by Gen. Ga
briel Duran, who appeared at Tlaphan
on the LIST inst. at the head Of about two
thousand men, to support the common
cause. Another,similar movement took
place at Chalo, but the insurgents were
forced by the President, Sta. Anna, at
the head Of a few troops, towards Cuer-
navaca, at which place Duran had al
ready been, but finding the people there
not disposed to give encouragement to
his designs, had left, after a short so.
journ. The designs of the insurgents
not having been as successful as antici-
.pated, 1t became necessary to make a
desperate attempt, in which they were
seconded by Gen. Arista, in whose
power, by one Of those secret coup de
mains, so frequent in Mexico, Sta. An
ma fell. The illustrious prisoner was
conducted to Yantepic, where he re.
mains, incarcerated in a prison. The
Vice-President, our accounts mention,
was vigorously engaged in devising
measures to attack the rebels.
Since the above was in type, we have
been favored with a paper of q later
date, received by the same source,
which contains the intelligence that
Santa Anna had succeeded in making
his escape, and that on his return to the
capital he will resort to such energetic
measures as to finish the contest at a
blow.
1t appears, upon further inspection Of
our papers, that the revolters wished
to force Santa Anna to jeclare himself
dictator so as to accomplish better their
designs; to effect which, they wrote to
the Vice President, informing him that
Santa Anna intended to do 80. But to
the confusion Of this deep-laid scheme
to embroil Santa Anna, it seems one of
his aid-de-camps, who was detained
with them, found means to communi.
cate to the provisionary head of gov.
ernment the deception. Santa Anna
shortly afterwards succeeded in attest.
ing his innocence.
The whole division of the govern.
ment troops that were under Santa An
mas command at the time he was ta-
ken prisoner were seduced by Arista.
But there still remains a considerable
force at Pucbla who remained faithful:
it is intimated that the President intends
to put himself at their head without loss
Of time.

WilHamsport ma. J Ban.

Mr.. J. Randolph Of Rive UNDER
stand, that Mr.. Randolph's papers have
been ransacked, and that no Will of q
later date has been found. The public
curiosity has been SO much excited upon
this subject, that we may be excused
for noticing the present state of the
facts, as We understand them.
Judge Leigh is said to have in his
possession two Wills in Mr.. RS hand.
wrltlng--the first is dated in January,
1922; the second IN March, 1882.
The lst directs his slaves to be man.
UNITED, and makes provision for their
maintenance, and we believe removal,
under the superintendence of Bishop
Meade, and of Francis S. Key, ESQ,
and belueathes the residuum of his es.
tate to Judge Leigh. This Will is said
to have been subsequently Cancelled"
by Mr.. R., and his. signature to nave
been cut out.
The 2nd Will makes no provision
for the manumission of his slaves-and
its principal legacies are, l. $4,000
TO Judge Henry st. G. Tucker. 2.
$4,000 to Judge Leigh. 8. $4,000
to John Randolph Leigh, young son
OF Judge L. 4. Gascoigne and fiIly
am some plate to Mr.. John Wickham.
5. Two FLIES and pair of candlestlcks
to MIR. Macon. His carriage and horses
and some French plate, to DIR. Brock.
enbrough--and the residue of his es.
state to the eldest son of his niece, Mrs.
Bryant of Gloucester, a daughter of
Judge Coulter-with the reversion, in
case of the death of the boy, about 20
months old, without heir, to the eldest
son of Judge III. St. G. Tucker--and
in case ofhis death, to the Judges next
son, &c. &c.
This last Testament will probably be
offered for Probat to the next Charlotte
Court. 1t may, perhaps, be contested
by the trustees for the slaves, upon the
ground that the first Will may be good
Or, 1t may perhaps be contested by
other parties, upon the ground, that
neither of the Wills is good-snd in
this case, thatthe whole property should
be distributed according to the provi.
slons Of the Act of Assembly.
1t IS probable, indeed, that the sub.
Ject may give rise to some litigation
in which ease, it may become hereafter
the duty of the Court of Appeals to de.
eide the whole matter.
