AN ACCOMMODATING JUDGE.-The following
anecdotes told in Governor Ford's History
of Illinois:
SIN those days (from 1918 to lsSO) justice
was administered in the courts without muck
show, parade, or ceremony. The judges were
gentlemen of sense and learning, who had their
courts mostly in log houses, or in the bar-rooms
of taverns fitted up for that purpose, with ten,-
porary bench for Judges, and chairs and bencheS
for the lawyers and jurors. At the FIRST circuit
cuur, in Washington county, by Judge John Rey-
nOlds, on the opening the court the sheriff went
out into the court yard and said To the people,
Boys come in, our John is going to hold conrt, !,
This was the proclamation for opening The courrS
In general the Judges were -averse TO deciding
questions of law. They did not like the respon-
sibility of offending one or the other parties.-
They preferred to submit every thing they could
TO he decided by the jury. ] knew one who
when asked for Instructions to the jury on points
of law, would rub his head and the sides Of his
face with his hands and say to the lawyers,-
Why. gentleman, the jury understand IT,; they
need no instructions; doubt they will do justice
in the case.' This same julge presided at a.
court in which man named Green was coRvic-
ted for murer, and it became his unpleasant
duty To pronounce sentence Bpon the culprit.-
He called the prisoner before him and said to-
him, Mr.. Green, the jury say you are guily of
murder, and the law says you are to be hung
want you and all your friends down on InsliaH
creek to know that it is not who condemn you;
it is the jury aud the law. Mr.. G. what lime
would You like to be hung The law allows
yon time for preparation.' Mr.. Green said,
May it please Your honor, ] am ready at any
time; those who kill the body have no power to
kill the soul. My preparation is made, and
am ready at any time the court pleaseS.' The
Judge replied, 'Mr. Green, it is a very serious
matter to he hung; it can't happen to man but
once in his life, and you had better take all the
time you can get. Mr.. Clerk, look at rhe sln.s-
nae and see whether this day four weeks comes
on Sunday The Clerk looked as directed, and
reported that that day four weeks came on
Thursday. Then said the Judge, Mr.. Greene
the court will give you only 2" this day fopps
weeks. The case was prosecuted by Jsmes

The above exports were for this market; the other

some very sensible remarks upon cultivating the

clude supplies Furnished to whale sLiPs. The ex-
ports OF foreign produce, included in the foregoing
table, amounts 10 Sll941 TS.
IL will be seen that Irish potatoes constituted more
than halfof the produce exported. The little
labor required in their cultivation, the rapidity Of
their growth, and the constant demand tor them,
which is likely to continue, II produced at a low
price, have caused great increase in the crops
produced. There are several thousands of acres of
elevated forest land East Maui, well ada pied ,

potatoes produced here, when we'll ripened, are of
the finest quality, and We safely say that We

take however s made by the native potato grow
era in digging their crops when only three or TOUR

The elements Of national revolution, evolved
from the passions Of mankind, alwaystend to fatal
examinations; but it is the prerogative Of an en-
lightened public will to control them, and make
them subseryient to wise and patriotic issues Such
elements are now fearfully at work in the United
States, tending avowedly to revolution which
every patriot would dePlore as the greatest calam-
ity that could possibly befal this country. The ef
forts of the UNioN Party alone can avert that ca
lamity-the united efforts Of those who, nobly re
linquishng personal and old party considerations,
arc determined to stand shoulder to shoulder Tor
sLibsrty and the Union, noto and f0reuer, one and
insep0yable''
The fires of American patriotism require to be
rekindled in the hearts OF too many OF our coun-
trymen. Evil influences from abroad have found
their way amongst them, and smothered the
flames which ought never to subside in American
bosons. In one section of the country an ignis-
fatuus has been held up light to better pros
perity; in another, the moral sentiment has been
stimulated to monomana, with the design Of eff
fecting collision between the North and the South
and o dissolution of the American Union Even

for men Of both the old partesto throw aside their
old trammels and divisions, and to unite IN one
greater party. for the salvation Of the country 1t
10 high time that they should wake from their false
security. and look their real danger in the face to
reaaaery their true American character and resolve
with an energy to be relaxed that no foreign

A Remarkable Voyage.

Capt. w. Il. Walker, late of ship Envoy of this
port, returned home yesterday from San Fran
cisco, where he left his ship after disposng of her
cargo at that port. The Envoy was ormerly en-
ployed in the whale fishery from Providence, and
had been well used up in the service, when in lSi7
she was purchased, at comparatively tritling
cost, by merchant in this city, with the purpose
! of rehtting her for the same business
This design was however abandoned, owing to
her great size, and the difficulty of obtaining a
suitable person to take command of her. and she
was at length stripped and sold to Mr.. William o.
Brownel, dealer in old junk for the sum of y 325,
TO be broken up. Her new purchaser, however,
conceived the idea of refitting her for sea, and
having done so, he fortunately engaged Captain
Walker to command her, the captain becoming
the purchaser OF one quarter OF the ship, and the
Envoy accordingly sailed from this port July L.,
l3iS, on whaling voyage, ard proceeded to the
island of Whytootacke, where Capt. w. had on
previous voyage stored thousand barrels of oil
which he had purchased at a merely nominal price
from wrecked vessel. Having take board
the one thousand barrels of oil, Capt w. pro-
ceeded to MANILA and shipped the oil thence to
London, where ii was sold, netting TO its owner
the sum of $4,000
From Manila the Envoy proceeded to cruise for
whales in the north Pacific ocean, where in the
short period of fifty FIVE days, che took $500 bar
res of whale oil, and returned TO Manila in the
fall OF lSi9 and there again shipped TO London
l,S0O barrels of oil and 40 900 pounds OF whalrbone
which netted E7,75o, or S37 800 The Envoy
again sailed for the Pacific, a4d, during the last
season, took $500 barrels of oil and 5000 pounds
whalebonc (includmg, with the oil previously on
board, $500 barrels,l and the whole amount Of
catchngs having bee $500 barrels Of whale oil
and $1,000 pounds of whaebonc.
The Envoy then proceeded TO San Francisco,
where she arrived on the 9th of November. and
Captain w. there sold IS 900 gallons of oil one
dollar per gallon, and the remainder Of the cargo
(S5,000 ganons) at fifty seven cents per gallon.

The Envoy VAS considered unseaworthy by the

this port, and they accordingly declined taking a
rick upon her. The sanguine and unfortunate pro-
ector of the enterprise, Mr. Wm. O. Brownell, ac-
cordihgly assumed the entire rick, including the
one quarter owned by Capt. w.
