Trial Of John w. Stamp, charged ,rilA tie Mur.
der Of Henry Hamnand.
Gentlemen: The adjourned court for the trial
ofJno. W. Stump, charged with the murder Of
Henry Hammond, commenced this morning, be.
fore Judge Jno. c. Lc Grand, Judge Prick be.
ing detained in Annapolis. at the Court of Ap.
peals. The morning session was consumed in
empanneling a jury, and the opening speech Of
the deputy prosecuting attorney. In the after.
noon the examination witnesses was comlnenc.
ell. There were nine called TO the stand DR..
Horton, the first witness, was the attending
physician on the deceased, and testified as to the
nature Of the wound, the position in which The
deceased was found, SC. r. II. Archer, Jr..
was then called, and, under advice ofcounsel
refused TO testify on the ground that he believed
his testimony would render him liable 10 prose.
cution as an accessory after the tact.'' Geo
Stephenson was next examined.
lie had heard a third party say TO him, in the
presence Of the accused, that Stump had shot
Hammond; and when he asked Stump ''what was
the difficulty" Stump replied that ohe did not dc
ii 'rithout a cause" The other witnesses knew
nothing but common rlnnor, and ofcoulse their
testimony was worthless.
There was much disappointment evinced at
thesbsence Of Geo. Il. Richardson, Esq, who
was generally understood would be present t.
prosecute. To supply his absence, as far us pos
sble, Randolph Boulder, Esq, of your CITY. was
admitted to practice at this bar, that he might
aid the prosecution in the examination Of wit
ncsses, and in conducting the prosecution, should
Mr.. Richardson not be present hereafter. The
prisoner has the entire bar in his defence, but
Albert Constable, Coleman Yellott and Vim. 3.
Bond, Esqs., appear TO be the principal actors.
Stump is fnc-looking young man, Of perhaps
"a or % years ofage. His countcnance is de-
cdedly prepossessing, and as you look upon it, if
YOU are a pLysiognomist, you are particularly
struck with its mildness and bcncvolence. He
is surrounded by his friends, and though evident
ly much affected by his position, he looks calm,
composed and patient.
The rule under which Archer's testimony was
excluded will shut out other positive evidence
against him. PoI,

CONGRESS-. 1t is generally under.
stood that there will be no agitation of
the slavery question in Congress during
the present session. Petitions may be
presented for the repeal of the fugitive
slave law, but we have reason to believe,
that such petitions will be quietly dispo-
sed OF, without any effort to procure leg
islation on the subject. Members seem
to be well aware that, in touching thai
law, they would tread upon dang erous
ground. Whilst it is respected and en-
forced the Union may be preserved
but repeal it, and dissolution would be
the Immediate result.-Chpper.

HOMESTEAD ExEMPTIoN.-The Home
stead Law passed by the Vermont Leg
slature Of IS49, went into operation on
the first of this month. 1t provides that
house and land, to the value of $500,
with the produce Of the land, shall be
exempt from attachment and execution,
except for taxes.
In case of the decease of husband,
this amount of property shall descend to
his wife and children, without being
subject to his debts, unless made spe-
cially chargeabie thereupon, and such
homestead cannot be alienated or mort
gagged, except by joint deed of husband
and wife. The homestead is, however,
liable for debts contracted before its pur-
chase, and the husband may mortgage
the same at the time Of purchase without
the consent of the wife.

Mr.. WEBSTER AND TEMPERAHcE.-
The Hon. Daniel Webster's wine, 10
the extent Of 1000 bottles, imported for
his own use, has lately been sold by auc.
ton in Boston.-V arious speculations
are afloat as to the cause which induced
the sale, but the New York Sun says the
true cause is that he has lately been en-.
rolled as an honorary member of the
Temperance Society.
