Beyond that age the number Of female, be-

that there must be some law of the consti-

Not Guilty.,

After long trial, the defendants in the
Martha Washington case were declared by q
jury of their fellow citizens, to be not guilty
of the crimes imputed to them What re-
lief to them must be this escape after an
agony of suspense SO long. Those who have
watched the faces. full of anxiety, and of af-
fectlon, OF the wives of some Of the prisoners,
as they have sat day by day, in trembling
suspense. can form an idea of their JOY and
exultation, when mot guilty" struck on their
waiting ears, As we looked upon them in
the Court sitting beside men against whose
characters fearful accusations were made. we
thought Of a remark We have seen, that what
these women were doing, no man ever did un-
der similar circumstances. Faithful woman
stands at the bar with her husband, when he
is charged with crime; but when the same
accusation is brought against woman, when
heI purity is denied, her uprightness ques.
toned; her word disbeleved, her honesty
suspected, when thousand mouths are re-
peating assertions of her guilt; when her
fame is tradueed her character questioned,
and she stands pale and fainting at the bar
of justiee-where then is he, who once swore
naught but death should part them9
1t was a study for painter to watch the
play of these faithful women's faces, as the
trial proceeded. A blank and anxious look
when heavy charges were strongly assevera-
ted-a smile when some effort of the prose
eution failed-a tear when a word of SYM
pathy was uttered-a beaming countenance,
sparkling eye and an exultant bearing
when hope of triumphant result was ap-
parent
We may coldly talk over the varying
chances of escape or condemnation that the
trial has raised we may put ourselves in
the place of the jury. and with dubious mind
discuss the probable guilt or innocence of
the accused; but towards those loving faith
full women, we can have but one sentiment
-unbounded admiration for their unwaver-
ing fidelity Gin. San

tracts from the oration Of Mr.. Calvert, de-

We have just returned from short visit
to the capital of our State, which we had
not visited for more than nine years, and
must confess we were surprised to note the
little change or improvement in the appear
ance of the city since that time.
1t is matter of no little regret with US,
that a place possessing as many natural ad
vantagcs as Little Rock, aside FROM its be-
ing the seat of government of young, and
what ought to be growing and prosperous
State, should exhibit so few evidences Of
progress and prosperity and that regret is
greatly increased on account of the many
noble hearted and generous spirits we met
among its citizens. We noticed, however,
while there, that the incipient steps were
being taken to arouse from the lethargy
which has hitherto bound them, not only
the people of Little Rock, but of the whole
State. The Engineers of the Cairo and
Fulton Railroad had commenced the survey
Of the track over which the iron horse is to
run his rapid race; and we sincerely hope
that but few years will be permitted to pass
before his tireless tread may daily be heard

between the capital of our State and the
Texas border, When such facilities for
travel are afforded us, we viii frequently

about their city, and in the exuberance of
their good feeling, bestowed upon so quiet
