The Randolph Will case. which has been
!itigated ever since the death Of the Tesla
tor, has been decided. The verdict Of the
Jury confirms the viii Of 1921, which man
united his slaves and left the bulk Of the
property to Mr. Bryant, the husband Of one
of his neices. The plea against this nstru-
ment was the insanity Of the deceased at
tie time it was drafted and executed. Aside
rom the magnitude Of the interests nvolv-
ed in the verdict there have been but few
trials in the country, prolonged for the
length of time or exhibiting more perse
ycr;ng and deXtorous tactics in counsel -
Every inch was defended to the !ast--all
the nice points of evidence were sifted with
narrow scrutiny, and the weight Of every
authority in the history of Jurisprudence
was thrown into one or the other scale to
eficct n prepor dcrance.

For an Enia sSed Edition of the
Fl A w K Y E.

TO keep pace viii the onward growth OF
this portion Of the Territory ind comply
with the EXPIRE ssed wishes Of large mum
Der OF our subscribers, we propose to IN
crease the Dimensions OF the HAWK. EYE
from its present 10 u double medium s;zc.
Such enlargement will give our subscribers
about double the amount Of reading matter
afford us an opportunity to lay before
them from week 10 week greater variety
of news and miscellaneous reading--and
render the paner together mors sttrac-
tive ana deserH Of patronage.
The HAwK.arE was the first Wing news
paper published in the Territory. At its
commencement and for the first few years
Of its existence it had to encounter the
fercest and most unwarrantablc opposition
but it has outlived all that-maintained its
integrity us u faithful exponent of whig
principles and will continue amid the
fluctuations of triumph or defeat to cling
to and enforce the adoption Of those prn-
ciples, as afiording the only political guar
anty to national prosperity.
To carry out our plan we shall be oblig.
ed to incur considerable additional expense
1t will therefore be necessary to vary our
terms so as to meet the exigency. Instead
of 81 so the subscription for the new edit
ton will be tpo dollars in advance, per
annum +; to all those who do not pay in
advance, twenty-five cents for every three
months delay will invariably be required.
The paper will appear in its enlarged
form in the course Of two or three weeks
and we hope that every Wing will encour
age the undertaking, by promoting its more
extensive circulation.
To those obtaining for US six responsible
subscribers a seventh copy will be sen,
without charge.

The week past has been quiet ia
business operations, more so than a
long time previous. But little wheat
has been received and only small
sale Of goods. Most Of our Merchants
have full stocks Of Merchandise and The
purchasers in Eastern Markets will be
insignificant for the Spring trade. The
arrival of quite number Of Boats has
given an appearance Of business which
is however deceptive. No freight Of
any account was received or shipped.
The river is open as high as Dubuque,
and probably above, with fine stage
Of water for navigation.

by vote of "A o23. This is sgnIfi.

must be considered as decided test
of the feeling Of the Senate towards
admission. The amendment, lost in the
House, providing for the division Of
Florida into two States, is quite likely
to be insisted upon by the Senate;
