T CouRr adjourned Saturday

/" CouRr adjourned Saturday
evening, having occupied all the time
allotted to this county. Much OF
the business of the docket ready for
hearing was continued for want Of
time. Two suits for flowing the wa
ter back to the obstruction Of mill
privileges, Watson VS.. Leonard, and
Bennett and Mccall vs.. HaptonstaIl,
occupied about a third of all the
time; in both cases the verdicts were
for the Defendants. The cause that
created the most interest among the
citizens OF GalIipolis, was on a mo-
ton to dissolve the injunction, gran
ted by Judge Peck, during the winter
vacation, against fencing the public
square. The bill was filed by VIM.
H. Langley VS.. the Corporation Of
Gallipolis. The question was argued
by Cushing in favor Of the motion,
and Nye for sustaining the injunc-
tion, on Friday night. The Court
delivered the opinion Saturday, dis
missing the motion and sustaining
the injunction. As the answer was
not sworn to and no evidence had
been taken, the Court was obliged TO
take the allegations Of the bill as
true. and taking them as true the
Court said they were obliged TO dis
miss the motion. We presume the
end is not yet.

MAysvILLE AND BIC SANDY RAIL
RoAD.-The report Of the Engineer
of this proposed road has appeared,
together with the address of the
Commissioners, &c. The report
shows that the friends of this road
are looking to a connection with
Richmond, Va, by means of the
Virginia Central road. The advan
tages Of such connection compared
with. that of most others is of course
strongly set forth. No mention is
made Of the route down the Kama
wha, through this place TO Chillico-
the, the most direct and best route
10 Cincinnati, the West and South.
We refer to this subject now as ar
incentive to the immediate organiza-
ton of the Gallipolis, Jackson and
Chilicothe Company. And in order
10 accomplish this small amount,
the balance of the $4,000, must be
on the subscription books. The ne.
cessary amount can be made up in a
few days with a slight effort on the
part OF few men. Let that effort
be made at once, the Company or
ganized, when a report from the
Company may advise some people o!
the most feasible and desirable route
for building road with which the
Central road may connect.

The New York Tribune discusses the
policy which shuts up our Iron beds aud
furnaces and patronises those of Europe,
in preference, and says
"There never before was so great a
dearth of employment throughout the
Free States. as during the past winter,
and it still continues. And still we go
on, running in debt millions per month
for products that our own idle laborers
would gladly make. and calling it buy

heard of a large purchase of Railroad
Iron from England at S374 per tou, pay

WASHINGTON, March Is.

WASHINGTON, March Is.
The personal affair between Gov.
Brown and Mr.. Wilcox, Of Missis
sippi, has been honorably adjusted
through the interposition Of their
mutual friends, and there will be no
duel. 1t appears that, on the rem
contre. the Speaker ordered the
Sergeant-at- arms TO arrest both OF
the gentlemen. After they had
made mutual explanations an d
apologies, some member moved
that they be excused, and discharged
from arrest. But it had so happened
that the Sergeant-at-arms wa S
absent, when the order to arrest was
given, and that, in fact, no arrest
had occurred. This shows how dif-
ficult il is to arrest any member Of
Congress, however fragrant NAV
have been his offence against Parlia-
mentary usages. PugndciOuS law,
or the law Of fists, prevails over
"pistols and coffee for four''-as in
times past. South Carolina and
Alabama set the example week be-
fore last, and Mississippi follows in
the wake.
President making is .he order oil
the day here, and the whole atmos-
phere is imprsgnated with it. There
is canvasing in Congress, in the
rotundo Of the Capitol, at the hotels,
at the corners of the streets, and in
all social circles. You can't step
into a room or out in the streets,
without hearing enquiries about the
prospects Of one or another aspirant
tor the Presidency. And yet. politi-
clans on either side were never more
at fault as 10 who will probably be
nominated. Thus it probably will
be until the two conventions make
their selections. This being accom-
pIished, both parties will rally round
their nominees, for the long pull, the
strong pull. and the pull altogether
for the ascendancy. LEON.

LATE FROM PLEsIDo DEL NoRTE.--
The San Antonio Western Texan
Of the 10Th ult., has the following:
Mr.. James T. Peacock and six
others arrived here on the 18th inst,
eighteen daysirom Preside del Norie,
from whom we learn that the Mes
calero and Apache Indians are almost
daily committing depredations in
that vicinity. plundering the inhabi-
tants and driving off their stock.
We learn from Mr.. Peacock that
General Cordero, Governor Of the
State Of Chihuahua, had entered into
treaty with the Camanches, by
which the latter have stipulated to
kill Off the Mescaleros and Apaches.
Also, that about two weeks before
he left, a party of Mexicans and
Camnnche chief Labiook. with six
Of his warriors, had Just returned
from an expedition against the Mes
caleros, having taken four scalps and
captured some $50 head Of animals.
He represents the country as being
in miserable condition. The Indi-
ans are constantly crossing the Rio
Grande into Mexico, where they rob
and kill the inhabitants in all direc-
tions with impunity, and then recross
the river into Texas.

signed, have been presented TO Con-
gress against the renewal of the
Woodwork patent planning machine.
1t has been once renewed, and the

FIRE IN CINcINNATI.-The Sundays
Enquirer gives the following account
OF fire:
Between the hours of twelve and one
o'clock yesterday, fire originated in
the lumber yard of Stewart & Demi1g,
on the north side Of Third street, west
of Smith. A strong westwardly wind
prevailing, the flames soon communica-
ted with several large brick dwellings,
on Webb street, adjoining, belonging to
R. NJ. Corwine. together with three
brick dwellings owned BY John w. Hart
well, all of which were totally destroyed.
On Third street and Webb street six
frame cottages were likewise consumed
by the fiery element. Several frame
dwellings belonging to Messrs. VIM
ieTs, Dougherty, Stewart and others,
were likewise much damaged. Not less
than eighteen or twenty families were
rendered houseless by the conhagration.
The loss cannot be correctly estimated.
yet it is surmised that it will exceed
100000. The lumber yard of NJ. Fl.
Cook & Co, was likewise damaged
This is the most terrific conhagration
we have witnessed for some years
