The trial OF Edwin BuIdick, for robbns the mail he
tween Petersburg and Richmond, was concluded at late
hour Thursday evening. Tile Jury found the pri.
soner guilty We not present at the concluding
scene but understand that great ability exhibited by
the counsel on both sides.
Yesterday, Vincent Hoffman was arraigned an &C.

and threw himself upon the mercy Of the Court.
Judge Daniel thereupon sentenced Burdlck to impri-
sonment for ten years at hard aJor and in consdera.
tien of mitigating circumstances in the case OF Hoffman,
sentenced him to twelve months Imprisonment, and

The frequent robberes Of the mail lately by the

hoped chat the certainty of detection will have autary
influence upon those within the scope of temptation.

in this city to-day, said Mr. 7. have been
distressed to find that not over one hun
bred children and adults attend the free
and private weekday schools. Neither
have similar pledges been redeemed by
abolitonists in other cities and states. We
owe it to the cause to redeem these pledges
made before God and man, or we shall be
Justly liable to the charge of moral perjury,
and make our own declarations Il rhetori-
cal flourish and splendid absurdity.'
Let us establish schools, become gratuitous
teachers, and turn out as body, to in
sruct, aid and enlighten our brethren and
sisters, who are perishng for lack Of
knowledge. Let us assist them in learning
lrales, aud Introducing them into the useful
arts and sciences, and above al lct us labor
to have them converted TO God.
BE assured, said Mr. Il. that Oh the ques-
ton of treating men irrespective of color,
the great battle is to he decided between the
friends of liberty and the supporters Of
slavery. That will prove the Thermopyle
in the Anti-Slayery cause. Abolitionists
must enter into this conflict; the question
must be decided, or slavery will he perpet-
ual. We must eat, walk travel and worship
with people of color, and show to slave
holders, and their abettors at the North, that
we will recognize them as brethren. ! do
not mean, said Mr. r., that we ought to as
sociatc intimately with those colored per-
sons, whom we should not thus associate
with, if they were white. This is practical
aboltionism; and until VIC adopt it heartily
we shall he considered as hypocrite, by
shareholders, and throw the weight of our
example on the side of prejudice and OPP
preston. What right have we, said MIR
T., to devolve this duty upon our children
and oblige them to fight this battle {? Is not
this initiating the savholders who are
postponing the question, of emancipation
in the expectation that their posterlty will
meet the crisis they avoid? No sir, let us
neither devolye it upon our children, non
be content to assume it when we are Older
ourselves. Rather let us use the strength
of our youth and manhood, in achieving
by the blessing Of God, this great and ne
cessary victory.

THANKSGIVING. The New York ALver-
tiser has the following remarks in relation
TO this good old custom, which las been so
strictly observed in the New England States,
for so many succeeding generations:
1--WE have considered this custom nc.
culiarly precious to every New England
man. What can he more beautiful and
sublime than that Of seeing Il whole people
unite in praises TO mercitul Prov idcnce,
for blessings that have been poured down
upon them? What can he more delightful
than To see whole families assembled around
the board of The parent stock, and 10 par
take of the hountcs Of Heaven from the
ancient family table? To ningc in festv-
ity aud thank!lilne IS 10 draw tighter the
ties Of kindred and affection, TO become
more and more acquainted with each others
feelings and circumstances, and above all
to heal any family disscnsion that may
have been engcndcrcd. The day that leads
us to greater gratitude fer the morcies re-
ceived, and TO draw tighter the love and
affection Of families, ought ever to be oh
served. We rejoice that the spirit Of tho
age which seems to have outrun old Gus
toms - the habits of luxury, fashion and
lissipalon-h has not been able to touch this
day; but that it is now held in greater rev.
erence aud yencraton than it was even in
the days of our eminently pious Pilgrim
Fathers"

MARYLAND. We learn from MARYLAND
that the Governor is expected Immediately
to issue proclamation directed to the
members Of the General Assembly, reuuir-
ing them to meet at the expiration of the
notice Cten days prescribed by the consti-
tuition. The Delegates elected last Octo-
Der, and the persons who sat as Senators
ct lis last session, will compose said AS
sembly, unless, in the mean time, n new
Senate shall have been chosen, by the cleo
tors who were elected for that purpose in
September last. II, when the Legislature
assemblies, n new Senate shall not have
been chosen, provision will probably be
made to vacate the seats of the electors
who have not qualified, and to allow 9th
ers to be elected In such event, there
can be no doubt that; the people would
| choose others who would faithfully per-
form the trust which they might seek TO
| obtain. Then, it is believed, the spirit o.
tho Constitution, which looks to the cleo
ton ola new Senate on the same day in
every fifth year, or as soon thereafter as
may be, would be fiilly satisfied, and at tho
earliest day possible, aud in time, too, to
allow the new Senate to meet the Assembly
on The last Monday of December, which
is fixed for the annual meeting ofthat body
