AN AGRAHIAN.-A correspondent Of the New
York Journal Of Commerce. writing from Queens
county, Long Island, N. Y, under date of Nov. Is,
says:
CAT our Court Of Oyer and Terminer, lust held,
William II Remson was tried and found guilty Of
setting fire to his fathers (Jacob Remsons) barn,
near Manhasset. He was sentenced TO imprson-
ment in the State prison for seven years. This
may be regarded as one Of the first fruits of agra
rianism in this vicinity.
"The prisoner is about forty years of age, and
has spent idle, rowing life, part Of the time
gagged in teaching a district school. He embraced
FOtpierism, Agrariansm, Anti-rentism, &c, about
the time these doctrines began TO be introduced
into this country through the medium of Of
your city papers, and ultimately booaIae quite
philosopher, writer, &c. Some years since he be-
came so thoroughly lndoctrinated with these theo-
rics that he actually published work advocating
an equal dipi,ion Of the land of our farmrs among
the handlers His father, who is of our most
respectable farmers, though himself already in
debt, compelled ultimately to borrow for
and give this son five hundred dollars in cash to
induce him 10 cease annoying him, and seek his
fortune elsewhere. Soon after, the son returned
one evening with large drove OF sheep, which nc
turned into his fathers moving field; and in one
night the fathers entire grass crop ruined for
that year. The five hundred dollars was soon
spent, and the has since annoyed his
worthy parent with demands for a division or share
OF his property; which demand the parent could
not comply with in justice TO himself and a large
family. The son, therefore, few weeks since,
set fire 10 his fathers barn; and. while the barn
yet burning, he alec set fire To several stacks of
unthreshed grain another part Of his fathers
| farm-all of which were consumed. The prisoner
was defended by able counsel, who could devise
nothing better than insanity defence But the
prisoners writings had not made sufficient con-
verts to agraranism and anti -rentism TO secure
his acquittal. The yeomanry Of Queens county
regard lightly all such nonsense"

RAmRoAD MOVEMENTS IN INDIAsA.-The pco-
pic Of Indiana arc making laudable efforts TO Sc
cure the greatest amount of railway Improvements;
meetings are held, stock taken, contracts given
out, and roads being constructed throughout the
State
large meeting recently held by the oiti-
OF Falmouth and vicinity to facilitate the early
completion of the Jeffcrsonvillc road TO increcct
the Terro Haute and Richmond route at Cambridge
city. The total cost of this road, hundred and
twenty four miles, is estimated at 8 ,e55, ,6O1.
A railroad meeting was held on the I'd instant
at Cambridge city, Indiana, to aid the great rail-
way enterprises of the West and especially TO has
ten the completion of the Terro Haute and Rich
mond railroad and the Jehersonvie road 10 Cam
bridgocity This meeting resolved that il for the
interest OF the Jeffersonyillo Railroad Company to
extend their road from Columbus TO interscct the
Terra Hsuto and Richmond road at Cambridge
city, and that they we're in favor of rendering to
the Jacksonville company the use OF "our road
from this place east"
The board of directors Of the Terre Haute and
Richmond road and Of the Dayton and Western
railroad company respectfully requested TO
take this matter into consideration.
We learn from toe STATE Journal that the Lafay-
ette and indianapolis railroad 10 all under contract,
and that the work is progressing with n rapidity
that will secure the completion of the whole line
by the first Of July next
The President Of the Tcrre Hauto and Indian
apois Railroad Company has just completed a
contract, on favorable terms, for the iron for the
entire road, (about seventy miles The whole guam
uty is TO be delivered at New Orleans on or before
May next, and il il intended TO have the road for
the whole distance between indianapolis and Terre
Haute opened next autumn.

The LATE JuDoE DANIEL SMTTH.-Itis is with deep
and sincere regret we record the death of this ex
cellent man. We have long known him during
his frequent vsits to Richmond as Judge Of the
General Court, and latterly the Oldest Judge OF
the Special Court Of Appeals. We shall only speak
Of him a jurst, from what we learn is the unan-
ios opinion of the courts and the bar of this city:
and that is, that he a most able, laborious and
upright judge, excelled probably by very few, if
any, in the State. There was asimplicity and bon
esty stamped upon his face, and visible in his de-
pertinent on the bench, well as in private inter
course, which il was impossible to mistake; and
these qualities mixed up with gentleness and
kindness of heart that few ever failed to be instant
iy attracted towards him by bonds OF sympathy.
We have often heard that, IN his own region OF
country, he was held in the highest admiration
and love BY friends, neighbors. and connexions.
Enemies he had none, not even political for, al
though his residence in the very centre Of the
tenth legion of Democracy, he not the less
spected b-cause independent Wbg. No
has heard that in him the iddicial ermiDe was ever
snled by even the breath of suspicion. In his man
ners and habits, Judge Smith Is said to have been
remarkably simple, and for one considerably ad
vanced in years uncommonly active We have
heard that within year or two past, it was his
custom, in that mountain country, to ride through
his circuit horseback at the rate of from forty
fifty miles day-an achievement which few of
younger years could accomplish. This venerable
man has departed. not only full of years and hon
ors, but his resting place will long be bedewed by
the regrets Of all who knew him.
