Of newspapers will hardly deign TO look at any
thing else. The time is. however, approaching
when our nominations FOR county officers will be
made. which will have tendency to stir up a
little excitement. As yet but few candidates
have been announced in the papers, although we
understand they are as abundant as ever. For
the Assembly we have heard mentioned quite
number, viz Samuel +. Brown, David B. Mont.

candidates for the other Offices are, we cannot
cay until they first announce themselves. There
will, no doubt, be considerable rivalry, and pro.

company;
"Be with us this day in the conflict, o
Lordt We are few, and the enemy are ma

when he went down from Gilgal TO Belh-ho-

TRIAL FOR HORSE STEALING.

The trial Of JAMES Nj. CLINTON, for stealing
horse, came on before the Superior Court
on Tuesday last. Previous 10 going into tri-
al, hIs conduct was SO singular as to excite a
doubt with regard TO his sanity. Judge DouG-
LASS thereupon had jury empanneled to try
the question Of the prisoners sanity. Such Of
theevldence as we heard went strongly to show
that the prisoner acted strangely at different
times, and was not regarded as perfectly ra-
tional by those in whose employ he had been
engaged. The jury rendered verdict of in
sanity without leaving the Court.
The prisoner was then remanded to Jail and
ordered to be sent on to the Lunatic Asylum
at Staunton. After his restoration he is 10 be
brought back and tried for the crime for which
he has been arraigned.-Vuginia Free Press

copy of the proclamation issued by him upon
his assuming the duties OF that office, on the

clares that the Governor found the city ''vr-
'tually without law or order. and infested with
robbers, murderers, gamblers, Migrants, and
'other evil disposed persons--the worst ofcrim-
'inas going free, unscathed of justice; even
'rapine and murder stalking abroad in open

that the peaceable inhabitants thereof have
mo protection, either of person or properly"

morals of his province" but if there is any
virtue in stringent laws and avowals Of de
termination toenforce them. he will soon have

sweep of the gamblers, hells, drinking shops,

zens who have been compelled 10 flee from
their homes through fear or other cause TO re-
turn, with the assurance that they will be pro-
