JUDGE DUNCAN.

This distinguished gentleman is now in Staun-
ton engaged in holding adjourned term for the
trial OF Chancery causes. The promptness with
which he disposes of business, and the clearness
and force of his opinions, have for him golden
opinions among those most competent to estimate
such qualifications. The large number of old and
complicated causes left upon the docket when the
old Chancery Court was abolished, and the con-
stantly accumulating business, both at Law and
in Equity, in populous and wealthy County like
ours,-blessed as it is by the labors of some thirty
Lawycrs,-has rendered it impossible for Judge
THOMPSON, able and interchangeable as he is, to
keep down the docket. The visit of Judge DUN-
CAN is, therefore, a favor which is duly appreciated.
and will long be remembered by our law-going
community.
by the way, we wonder how long the Legisla-
ture will find it in their conscences to disregard
the just claims Of Judge THOMPSON to an increase
of his salary.

in regular form, agreeably to the form of govern

The first trial by jury took place at Monterey.
In which an American and Mexican appear to

from their names, appear to have been half Amer-

given general satisfaction.

THE AUGUSTA VOLUNTEERS.

The Augusta Company is attached to the first
battalion of the Virginia Regiment, which will, in
a few days, leave for the seat of war We hazard
little in saying that our Company will compare ia
vorably with any in the Regiment it is composed
of athletic young men, whose constitutions have
not been impaired by the designations which too
often affect the materiel ofarmies and which prove
more fatal than the arms of the enemy. Many OF
them arc skillful mechanics, favorably known in
our community, who will, if need be, prove useful
accessions to the army.
We are glad TO see that they duly appreciate
their double character of soldiers and citizens and
we trust that in all the chances and changes of their
term of service, they will remember that the Flag
OF Augusta must be borne CALAMITY in battle-pa
uently in adversty-mercfully in victory.
10 this Company has been confided the perlor-
nance of the duty of Augusta, so far as the enemy
are concerned, and that it will be performed faith
fully, we do not for moment doubt
To those who remain belongs the duty, not less
imperative, of inquring into the causes which have
made II necessary thus to risk the health and the
lives Of their neghbors and friends If it shall an
pear that the honor Of the Country required the
sacrifice, 1t becomes them, good citizens to sus-
tain that honor at whatever cost but if it shall be
ascertalned that no such necessity existed, our I'll
lers should be held to fearful reckoning for every
drop of blood that is she'd and for every tear that
falls. Is not this just ?-Is it not the course which
becomes Freemen?
