MEssRs. EDITORS:
knowing we'll what deep interest is felt
throughout the Community, in the result of the
impoltan. murder case now trying here, have
resolved TO write you the following:-whlch, II
you think it worthy place in your paper, is at
your service.
On Wednesday last, the prisoner, Joseph
Carter, ir was arraigned a, the bar of the Court
for the murder of John Casner. Mr.. Morris,
the Prosecuting Attorney Of Warren county,
opened the case in speech, in which he clear
ly presented the testimony upon which the State
will rely for verdict Of Guilty. 1t is entire
ly presnmp,ive, but Of the strongest kind. The
material facts are that the prisoner before the
murder was very poor, and mmedia,el y after,
had plenty of money, with which he paid sew
era executions, and other debts Also, that
on the morning Of the murder, and Sc0erat hours
previous to its being diScouered, Carter went 10
the village of Washington, and gave letter 10
a man who was going 10 Easton, 10 leave with
Justice of the Peace, at The Delaware Bridge.
That letter contained the intelligence of the
murder, and he made it an excuse Tor not full
filling an engagement he had previously enter
ed into
About sixty witnesses for the Prosecution
are in attendance here of which number about
twenty-five have been already examined So
far they have fully sustained the opening made
| by the Prosecuting Attorney. Esq. Van Do
rem testified to the bearing of the prisoner,
when first charged with the murder. He said
| Carter told various and contradictory stories
about where he had got the money, which he
paid out the day after the murder. At first ne
| said he could not tell where he had got It,
then he said he got it of this man, and then oil
tha, one-and a, las, he said he had for year
past expected to be broke up, and had laid II
by for a rainy day. Esq. Van Doran then said
he was afraid he was concerned in the murder,
and if he was, for Gods sake to let him know
! it, for he would in that case want the aid oil all
his friends. Garter answered, tcould rather
be found guilty, than that any mdn should S'0edI
falsely for me- Abraham S. Cougle, was ex-
amined as TO the letter above mentioned, and
his testimony was clear, and direct 10 the point
Carter, he said, came TO him at Washington
the morning after the murder, and before 1t was
known there, and delivered the letter TO him

Different opinions are entertained here as lc

ambition.

The people of the United States are becoming
patriotic in earnest, and appear determined tha;
the stale assertion that Republics are ungratefu,
shall no longer rest upon them. Since the conf
pletion of the Bunker Hill Monument, the cities
Of Philadelphia and New York have both taken
measures to complete beautiful Monuments to the
memory of Washington. And we now see that
the people of Trenton, New Jersey, are moving
upon the subject Of Monument commemorative
of the battle at that place during the Revolution.
Success to all their efforts.

Important from the West, Gf True.

From the second number of new paper
Just established at Balesville, in Arkansas, by
The ,ille of s'Fhe North Arkansas" under dale
of August 9th, we copy the following
"Important from the Indian Nation. The
following letter from an intelligent citizen oil
this vicinity, now in the West, contains most
important information. 1t will be recofleeied
that Ridge was killed about TWO years ago by

No doubt is expressed by the publisher Of the

TYLER Victories.

The newspapers have adopted the practice OF
heading the articles, in which they announce the
removal of the incumbent, and the appointment OF
his successor to office, under the National Admin
istration, Tyler Victories" They are the only
ones which the Captain can ever again achieve,
and as his time is fast passing away, we can
scarcely blame him for indulging in their pleas
ures. Poor Tyler! What lesson to fnordinate
ambition.

Complaints of the Cherokee against
u. 8. Troops.

We learn from the Arkansas IntelIigeacer
that great dissatisfaction prevails in the neigh
borhood of Fort Gibson, on account of the de-
pertinent of the u S. troops in that section--
The Cherokees are about petitioning the Sec
re,ary Of War, to remove Col. Davenport from
the station he occupies at Fort Gibson. The
Intelligencer also states that it is the general
wish of the community tha. the U. S. troops be
removed from the Cherokee country, lest their
overbearlng conduct may breed frontier war-
fare.
