TO the Editor of the National Era:
have already written you of the trial and
acquittal of the first fifteen of the Hickory Point
boys, and ] believe told you that twenty more
would go to trial on Thursday morning. At
any rate, such was the case. AS feared, lit
tie care or much less than was taken in the
former case, was used in the selection of Jury.
This was owing to too great confidence, inspi-
red by the success in the former one. In other
respects, the trial was mere repetition of the
6rst-the same counsel on each side, the same
witnesses, and the same evidence. The prose
cution tried hard to get additional evidence,
but were unsuccessful. Brides and threats in
profusion were offered to many of the prison
ers, in order to induce them to turn States
evidence-offers being made to enter nOUe
prosequi in their cases, as an additional bride.
Only one accepted the offer, but he was not
there for the purpose of fighting. He was one
of the men who waited on the Governor, and
afterwards went in advance of Harvey's party
with copy of the Governors proclamation to
the enemy, hoping that they would dispense
upon reading it, so that no fighting would be
done. But they had already received it. He
then left for Harvey's camp, engaged in the
battle, and became too bqsily engaged to make
acquaintance; and leaving the company be.

at the other trial, but retained on new charges,
were all subpenaed as witnesses in this. Well,
they were taken up to court, Friday morning,
but refused to be sacorn. After considerable

for manslaughter. All had been indicted fol

charged the jury, that if there were no evidence

1t is also said that a new treaty of commerce
is settled between Russia and Prussia, with
a view to international railway communication.
Private statements say that Prussia agrees
with France and Russia in requiring that the
Austrians shall evacuate the Danubian Princi-
palties and the English feet leave the Black
Sea.
Russia.-By letter from Vienna in the Co
logne Gazette, we learn something about the
diplomatic correspondence which resulted from
the intention of Russia to erect new Notifications
on the Finnish coast in the Bothnian Gulf. We
are told that this matter has come to an amicable
understanding, as far as the relations of the
French Government to Russia are concerned ;
but the British Government, it is said, still
maintains that in these Notifications there is an
invasion of the articles of the treaty of peace,
by which the erection of Notifications on the
Aland Islands is interdicted. Count Morny is
represented as having declared to Prince Gort-
schakof, in reply to direct question, that
France had no objection to the erection of the
proposed Notifications.
