PRorEssoR WEBSTER. The Supreme Judicial Court
of Massachusetts has denied to Professor Webster a
trial. The Court stated, after duly weighing all
the arguments and circumstances connected with the
case, it could find grounds for granting the pris
oners petition. The case, therefore, stands it
under the trial and sentence, and no further hopes
can be entertained Of obtaining new trial. From
present indications, there is probability of the
prisoner escaping the sentence of the law heretofore
upon him.

ing a ihankess office in heraldng ;her

which is constantly exhibiting itself on the
part of Knoxville and Athens towards
Chattanooga, we think the Advertiser is
mista ken-at least in regard to Athens
There may be spirit of rivalry or jealousy
between Knoxvil and Chattanooga, but
we are certain no one at Athens has any
disposition to interfere with or envy the
prosperity of that place-if it should at.
tain to the size and commercial Importance
of New York (Which it has already III the
lively imagina'ions Of some Of its worthy
and speculative citizens,) it would not re-
suit injuriously to the people in this direc-
ton. We know that Chattanooga will be
place of considerable importance some
day; and we know also that it will have
to go through great trials and ,ribulations
before that importance con DO attained-that
its present prosperity is not built on
sound and healthy basis, and that crash
will come after a while. But even that
will eventually prove beneficial, as the
temporary prostration Of business will have
the effect to drive off the specializing por-
ton OF the population, and in due time their
places will be filled by sound, substantial
men, mechanics and others. who. upon the
ruins, will build up \ permanent, and DIFF
ferent sort Of prosperity from that now en-.
joyod by Chattanooga.
We hope after this positive and udmoni.
torv disclaimer, We will not be suspected of
any "petty malice" towards
