fcndant TO an agent to be sued. A writ was made
and served upon the defendant who requested the

fact from him that the writ had been served and

This was qui tam action, brought under the
statute against the defendants for taking fraudu-
lent conveyance of property from debtor of the
plaintiff s. The plaintiffs counsel in opening,
stated that the proof would be that the conveyance
was made to one of the defendants, and not to
both. The defendants objected to any testimony
that did not prove a conveyance TO both. The
plaintiffs contehded that as in other penal actions,
they we're at liberty to introduce such evidence rs
would tend to prove that one all the defendants
were guilty of the offence charged. The Court
held that as the fraudulent conveyance the gist
OF the action, the conveyance must be proved as
laid in the declaration, made to both. The
plaintiff then moved for liberty 10 strike out the
name OF one Of the defendants, and TO proceed
against the other, which was refused by the Court.
Judgment for defendants, and reviewed by plaintiff.

The Wing Press ofthe State was never more
united in the good cause than they are at pres

party throughout the State. They know moth
ing OF the apathy which attends defeat. We
perceive in various sections ofthe State grad
ual rousing up, preparatory TO the coming cam
paign. The issue before the people mainly, is
the Tariff and Texas. The locofocos will pre-

The way Hon John P. Hale is making the
fur fly among the Locolocos of New Hanp-
shire is awful, in the highest degree. The
Concord Patriot of Saturday, devotes the whole
OF its second and third pages 10 the humiliation
Of this gentleman. The worst OF it all is, he
does not seem TO stay annhilated. Seven and
half columns, upon an opponent so powerIess
as these pro-siapery doughfaces profess 10 re-
gard Mr. Hale, is rather waste of ammunition.

The Cincinnati Republican.--It will be re.
membered that some short time ago we chroni.
cled the sailing from Cincinnati Of the barone
Muskingum, direct for Liverpool, with car.
go Of Western produce. We learn BY the las,
steamer that her safe arrival at the latter nor,
has created no little surprise, and is a subiect
of much remark in the English newspapers
We copy the subjoined brief paragraph from
the Liverpool Times Of The Goth Nav:
(NGi. mi.
'.lrrivGl Direct from Cincinnati. have
received file Of Cincinnati papers brought bv
the first vessel that ever cleared out at this civ
for Europe. Her voyage is quite an event in
the history of the Western States, and will, we
trust, be only the commencement of long.
continued and valuable trade between that Dart
Of the American Union and the old country.-
The building of a vessel of $50 tons on river
seventeen hundred miles from the sea- is itseIra
very remarkable circumstance, both as proof
OF the magni6cence of the American rivers and
the spirit Of the American people. The nayi-
eating Of such a vessel down the Ohio and the
Mississippi, and then across the Atlantic, would
few years ago have been thought impossible.
She brings a cargo of provisions; and we trust
that the success OF this first adventure will be
such as 10 encourage its frequent repetition.-
The name Of this vessel is the Muskingum.'
