The trial Of Runaway was resumed yester-
day morning, and the courtroom was densely
crowded. Theodore G. Cuyler opened for the
defence, and commenced by reviewing the sew
eral acts Of the Assembly Of Pennsylyania on
this subject, and the testimony which they
would be able to present to the court, upon
which they confidently relied for an acquittal.
ave have seen here" he said, "the State OF
Maryland pressing on private prosecution
to bring about verdict of guilty. We have
seen witnesses recalled to make their testimony
more perfect, where weakness was discovered.
Testimony has been introduced which had no
business in the case, to sustain lie uttered
from the prejudiced lips Of the witness Kline,
when he says the defendant remained silent
when he charged him with urging on the
blacks, by ordering them to fire on the officers.
: You did not believe it then, when you heard
{ him assert it. 1t may be wrong in me to say
that Maryland thirsts for the blood of an in
nocent prisoner, but the conduct in the case
would seem to warrant it." After Cuyler had
finished, Elijah Lewis, one Of the prisoners,
was called on to testify in favor Of Hanaway.
To this the counsel for the United States OBJ
jected, and warm discussion of the matter
followed. The evidence of Lewis was finally
admitted aud, after hearing one more witness,
the court adjourned

THE ALLEGED CHALLENGE TRAaEDY.-The
New York Times Of yesterday reports having
received by the Prometheus the San Francisco
Picayune of the evening of November half q
day later than the Cherokee--which announces
the arrest of the mate Of the Challenge, on the
morning Of that day, nine miles beyond the
Mission, on the San Jose road. He was lodged
in the county Jail, and placed in charge of the
United States Marshal. The Picayune expresses
the belief that Capt. Waterman would also be
arrested.
The Journal of Commerce says that the Chal-
lenge sailed from New York with crew of sixty
men, large portion of whom are represented
as having been landsmen. The labor of sailing
the ship consequently devolved on the expert
enced portion of the crew, and was regarded
by them as too onerous to be endured. The
result is thus stated by correspondent Of the
Journal, writing from San Francisco on the
31st of October:
'sShe arrived here on the Goth instant, in
beautiful order, her crew in rather bad plight,
having suffered from dysentery, by which six
men died, and three were lost from the mizen-
yard in gale.J Some of the sailors ran away
before the ship came alongside the wharf, and
told such shocking stories of the manner in
which they had been treated, that great ex.
element was created amongst the boatmen and
sailors on the wharf; and the moment she ar
rived alongside the wharf, her decks were
covered with the mob, crying out for the cap
tain and mate, to lynch them; and had they
fallen into their hands it would have been inn
possible to rescue them. They fortunately left
the ship before she came to the wharf 1t ap-
pears that it was the intention of the crew to
seize the ship off Rio-murder the captain
and mate-get her into their command, and 60
where they pleased. This was attempted about
IL o'clock in the day. The mate was knocked
down and stabbed by the crew, but was rescued
without serious injury by the captain, who sue
ceeded in bringing them to duty, and they were
not very kindly treated afterwards. The cap
tain and mate have kept out of the way. The
mob have threatened the ship-to burn and
scuttle her. She is now in the hands of the
United States Marshal, with strong guard, as
also guard from the revenue cutter, and we
trust all win pass off without further disturb
ance."

Cssc.n..,i s.A marietta Read.

The, merchants and business men
of Philadelphia have had a meeting
on the subject oi the Hempfeld Road
and the connection OF the Cincinnati
and Marietta Road up the Ohio to
Wheeling. They say that Marietta
has more cause to expect and look
for funds 10 build the Read from that
pointto Wheeling than the people OF
the North Western Road to Par
kersburgh have TO expect funds from
Baltimore 10 build that Road. There
is some truth in this. There is not
anything like the means on tbs route
Of the Road TO build il from Marietta
TO Wheeling, or from Parkersburgh
TO i:s intersection with the Baltimore
Road. Philadelphia must build the
one and Baltimore the other. or the
ability Of the two, we think PhiIa-
delphia is ahead. Baltimore has an
immense interest in the Baltimore
and Ohio Road. II has advanced
millions and loaned its credit for 9TH
er millions till her credit is badly
stretched. The Road from Cumber-
land TO Wheeling must be built be-
fore the North Western Route to
Parkersburgh can connect at all with !
the Baltimore Read. We regard IL
probable thai. in time, both of these
routes will oe opened, but neither
will be finished for a number OF
years. Both Of them are hard, cost
y routes. but whsn completed will
% great thoroughfares for travel and
)usiness.-State Jour. u
