Dear Dispatch The Court resumed its
session this morning at II o'clock, and con.
tinued the examination of witnesses on he.
half of the prisoner. Nearly all the evidence
taken thus far has.been given IN by members
of the bar from Louisa &. H., at which place
the prisoner went to study law, and remain
ed for upwards of IL months. The witness
es from this place testify to great many of
his acts, which give very strong evidence of
his der&ng .ment, whilst at that place during
the years 1850 and 81. The impression upon
the minds of persons here, with whom /
have conversed upon this subject is, from
the evidence thus far adduced, that the
prisoner was evieently insane at the time
he committed the act, and, of course,
whilst in that situation, was not res
ponsible for any thing he did but as this
is q matter entirely with the jury, we must
await their decision. The taking of the evil
dence will probably be concluded to morrow
morning, after which the case will be argued
by counsel, which will doubtless consume
the whole af the present week
The Chinch bug and Joint Worm have
made their appearance to some extent among
Us, and great fears are entertained of their
doing considerable damage to the present
