The grand Jury of Harrison county Virginia

The grand jury of Harrison county, Virginia,
has lately indicted Mr.. W. P. Hall of Shinnston
and Mr. Ira Hart of Clarksburgh, in that coun-
ty, for promoting the circulation of the Tribune.
Mr.. Horace Greeley of this city was also indct-
ed as equally guilty with Messrs Hall and Hart,
if more SO. We believe that the trial was
expected to take place early in October, but for
some reason it was passed over. The ground of
complaint we understand to be that the Tribune
is an abolition document, the case having been
made out before the grand jury by producing a
copy Of the paper containing an account of the
fight of a number Of slaves from the protect
ing care of their masters. Though this was
copied, almost if not quite verbatim, from some
Southern journal, it was Judged to be sufficient
proof against the Tribune and it's friends, and
the indictment was made out accordingly
The following letter has been addressed BY
Mr.. Hall to the publishers of this journal
SHrNNsroN, Va. Oct. 20, 1856.
MEssks. GREELEY T. McRLRATH Since | re-
turned home find the storm raging as bad
as ever against me. They say shall stop the
Tribune club or they will bring my case up al
the next grand jury court and put me clear
through.
/ therefore request you to stop the club
This from friend. VIM P. HALL.
The authorities of Harrison county will see
from the above that Mr.. Hall has complied with
their directions, and is no longer to be held re-
sponsible for the sending of the Tribune into
that intelligent community; They will also
please to take notice that we respectfully decline
their proposal. Our subscribers in Harrison
have all paid for their papers, and We shall fulfil
onr contract by forwarding them with prompt
ness and regularity.
We hope to be duly informed before hand
when this indictment is to be tried. Il would
be very shabby of the gentlemen Of the first
families to deny US that privilege.-lN. York

Wisconsin for Fremont.

We have no doubt that Fremont has carried
Wisconsin. We have heard from but few coun.
ties, and with the exception of Milwaukee, Free
mont makes large gains; for instance, in Keno
sha county he gains $50 over the vote of 1854,
when the Republicans carried the State by 1000 !;
in Waukesha he gains 1882; in Rock 1914; in
Walworth 1918. We think these gains settle
the question so far as Wisconsin is concerned.
