Hon. SErm BARrvs.--Thc present Solicitor Of
the Treasury, We all remember was one Of the most
active and talented spirits in tho late presidential
campaign, and Justly won the appreciation Of the
people OF his section Of the republic by his indesti-
gable efforts in the noble cause OF democracy.
II gave his friends, therefore, much pleasure to
find him transferred by the President from Louisia-
to the Of national government TO Nil the
important Office he now occupies--one, the duties OF
which can only be discharged BY profound lawyer
and one Of untring industry. Visit the Solicitor as
often you may, you will be sure to find him bu-
silly engaged in the investigation OF some one OF the
numerous intricate law questions that, in the course
of his official duties, present themselves to his con-
sideration.
Mr.. Barton has already, by his mastery reports,
fully met public expectation, and thus given the
country promise as to his future successful career
Besides being an able jurst, Mr.. Barton is highly
gifted public speaker II is said that few, IL any, Of
the eloquent debaters Of the South have more Of the
genuine FIRE Of the orator about them than the pres-
ent Solicitor ofthe Treasury.

CIRCUIT COURT.
rs. LIBEL.
Francis Thomas.

This case came up again before the circuit court
on Tuesday, November 10. Mr.. Thomas's afida-
Wit was read, alleging the grounds on which he
claimed continuance or postponemcnt The
grounds, in substance, were, that he expected to
prove certain matters, which he deemed essential to
his defence, by Mrs. Linn and Mrs. Scott--the one
living in Missouri, the other in Vrgina-and that he
had taken out subpGnas in time, which were served,
but that the parties did not appear in obedience to
them. The United States attorney was willing to
allow tine, as matter Of defence was alleged and
sworn to and declared his aversion to urge points Of
objection which might exist TO the suAiccncy of the
affidavit. Much argument arose between the coun-
sell to the difficulty of getting the witnesses, and
the service of process to compel the attendance Of
witnesses from distant parts; and desire was ex-
pressed by the accused to have the testimony taken
by commission. The counsel for the prosecution
insisted upon the personal attendance Of the wit
nesses. The court decided that, the Witnesses
had been summoned and did not attend, the ac-
cused had right to issue attachments, which were
ordered; and the court added, that as they would
probably not be in session when the attachments
would be returned, they be made returnablc to next
court; and the case was continued.

ton; Jones and Maulsby for the defence.

THE STEAMER PRiNcEroN.--The "Union," some
months ago, alluded, in complimentary terms, to
the despatch with which the orders OF the Navy
Department had been carried into execution by
some one of our vessels. Baltimore paper asks,
with sneer, il the passage Of the Princeton from
Philadelphia TO Pensacola in Is days was one Of
them. We have taken the trouble TO inquire Of
those who know the facts, and find that the Prince
ton renders good account of herself She was
sent out to Pensacola in August last with orders
rely upon sails alone, in order to her coal for
use on the station. In this passage she made $40
knots under royals in one day, and beat the John
Adams by nearly week on the passagc-both ves
sells having been delayed by protractcd Gains.
With the coal she brought out, and supply
from Pensacola, she has performed four passages
between Pensacola and Vcra Cruz, of about four
days and half each. We will take the last as an
instance. A despatch arrives from the Navy De-
psrtmen, to be sent to Vera Cruz without an hours
delay. The Princeton was got under way in the
teeth of southwestcr, and, with the wind dead
ahead for more than 70 hours, delivered the de-
spstch IN l02 hours at Vera Cruz. This is done
with one-fourth her steam-power, with an expend-
ture Of SO tons Of anthracite the trip, which, the
usual cost in Philadelphia, is about 5000. Has the

his free-tradc resolutions in the same Faneuil Hall
from which he addressed the meeting the other day

1910, on the portico of the capitol Of Virginia. or

fourth magnitude. No ono seems astonishcd at the
position he assumes. No is surprised at the
curious holiness Of his eccen triccs at his contin-
ued opposition to Texas; his support Of the tariff Of
AZ, or at the anti-Amcrican spirit he displays in
curtang his own glorious republic of her (" fair
proportions" by looping of the country Of Oregon.
We would have thought that Mr.. Webstcr-with
his large and srasping ambition, and with the per-
spicacity which il is absurd to deny him, and with
the large experience he ought by this time to have
acquircd-woud at last, in maturer years., have

1ho Concord interest is indeed in favor Of the Cen

this interest is strongly opposed. This is natural
enough. and right enough: they see their own in
terest at last, but am afraid they never would
have seen it, had not the Fitchburgh people knock
ed daylight into them. Concord may possibly sue
coed in getting to White River, but it is morally
certain that the Central Road will be extended
through the good old county Of Windsor to unite
with the Cheshire Road. As Vermonters, let us
secure as much of the road as possible within our
own State-aye and as much of the stock as posi-
bic. / can hardly exaggerate the estimation in
which Central stock is held by intelligent railroad
men here: any amount, almost, would be staked on
our road by some men-men of large means, to
boot. Still again let me urge Vermonters to take
stock: do hot take beyond your means--do not
rush into subscriptions in the expectation that it
will be long before the money will be required by
assessments for | apprehcnd that a goodly share
Of the money will be wanted soon: but let every
man take stock who is able to pay for what he takes
There can be no mistake about the matter the
Vermont Central Railroad will be good stock and
will command an advance in MARKET even if Rut-
land also succeeds, and Concord to boot. The
books for the Central stock will be opened here to-
morrow.

Rail Road from Ogdensbmg 10 Boston. We ex-
tract the following from the money article in the
N. Y Tribune of June 8:
The projected Railroud form Ogdensburg TO
Lake Champain, through Clinton, Franklin and St.
Lawrence Counties, is attracting much attention at
the North, and the Bostpnians appear disposed to
take hold of the matter with energy. The length
of the Road is about 1870 miles, ard it could be
built for about 81 100000 to $2,0O0000. Roads
from Boston to Burlington now either finished
or in progress, and these with the above proposed
road would give direct communication between
Lake Ontario and Boston. The effect that the com
pletion of this chain of roads would have upon our
public works is a question of deep interest. 1t is
contended that flour be transported from the
West through the Weland Canal to Ogdensburg
and thence by Railroad TO Boston at about onehali
the present cost avoiding by this route the payment
of 35 cents per Dbl. toll, to the Erie Canal. The
distance from Ogdcnsburg to Boston is about the
same as from Buffalo to Albany. 1t is believed by
the friends of the project that Western produce can
be sent from Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, &c. &c

falo. The effect upon the Canal revenues Of such
movement as this would be disastrous, and should
the result prove as is predicted, a counteracine
change of some sort must be made in the Cana
management, or Boston will be tapping the trade o.
New York to greater extent than she did wher
the Western Railroad was built.

.1noiher Slare Trader There was quite n little
excitement in town yesterday on account of the sur
posed arrival Of an American Captain, as passen-
ger in tie bark Anita from Pernambuco, who had
sold his vessel on the coast of Africa for SLAYER
The facts in relation to the case are substantially
as follows The American brig Porpoise, notice
of whose seizure by Buenos Ayrean man-of-war
and subsequent surrender to the u. s. Consul at
Rio Janeiro, was published sometime since, arrived
at Rio from Africa on the 23d of January last hav-
ing on board, as passengers Geo. Ii. Douglas, late
master, and the crew of the American brig Ken
tucky which had been sold on the Coast for q sla-
YER. Captain Douglass, shortly after left Rio, as
was supposed, for the United States, as he took out
passports via Bahia and Pernambuco.
Our Consul at Rio Immediately sent despatch
to the Consul at Pernambuco, requesting him to
keep lookout for Douglas, and to forward such
papers to whatever port In the United States he
might embark for, as would lead to his srrest and
detention, until the proper testimony, in relation to
his connection with the ~slavetrade, could be OBJ
tanned. Accordingly, the U. S. Marshal of this
District received a communication from the U. s..
Consul at Pernambuco, by the barque Anita. which
arrived here yesterday morning from that port in
forming him there were strong reasons 10 believe
that Douglass had taken passage in the barque for
the United States. A warrant was Immediately is
sued for his arrest, but, examining The Anita, no
such person could be found on board. One fact in
relation to this matter looks rather mysterious, viz
that although there were no passengers names on

1t is proper to remark, in connection with the a.
