The trial of the Rev. Daniel Downey,
for the alleged murder Of VIM. Mullins on
the 18th of December last, commenced be-
fore the Circuit Court on the 9Th inst, and
was concluded on the 18th. The evidence
was substantially the same as that publish
ed at the first trial. The case was opened
by VIM. s. H. Baylor, Esq, on part of the
Commonwealth, who was followed by Jas
Skinner, Fl. M. Bell, John Baldwin. and
Thos. j. Niche, Esqrs. for the prisoner
The argument was closed at late hour on
Saturday evening, by VIM. H. Hartman,
Esq, for the Commonwealth, and the case
was given to the jury. At tie opening of
the Court on Monday morning, they brought
in verdict of guilty. fixing his punishment
at eight years in the State prison. He re-
ceived his sentence with much composure.
which elected great sympathy in his behalf.
Seldom has trial in our midst, created
such interest, and given rise to such diver
sity Of opinion.

MISSISSIPPI AND THE SLAVE Trade
The following resolution has been introduce
ed in the Legislature Of Mississippi now in
session:
Whereas, at the adoption of the Federal
Constitution, every State which formed the
Union save one, tolerated and practised sla-
very and whereas, property in slaves is di-
rectly and fully recognized by said Consti-
tuition, and also BY the Holy Bible; there
fore.
Resolved, That the institution Of slavery
as now held and practised in the Southern
States, is neither legally nor morally wrong
and hence the law Of Congress making the
slave trade piracy should be repealed.

NOTICE

DY virtue Of d dssd ct tsus. execsted to as, -
ID trus ees, by Elijah Hunter, of record in the
County Court Of Augusta, will proceed TO sell on
the 2lst day of December, 1885, ppoa the p7emises
the terms of six twelve and twenty three soaShs
equal instalments, secured by bonds With personal
security, and retention of the title as ultimate secu-
rity, or so much Of the purchase money as will sat-
sfy the trust the terms Of the residue will be made
known on the DAY of sale,) except so much to be
paid IN hand as will pay the expenses attending the
sale,-the TRACT OF LAND therein embraced
lying Smiths Greek, in the Little Calf-Pastures
OF said County OF Augusta, adjoining the lands Of
Luke Woodward, Lorenzo Shaw & Co., Jacob,
kale, and Fleming Carol, containing
Two Hundred and Seven and a half Acres,
more or less, and being the same lands conveyed
by Ephraim Woodward and wife to said Hunter.
The advantages of the Tract to purchaser are
rare 1t is in that portion Of the County very little
sought after until recently, owing to its cOmpar-
atlvely great distance from the Courthouse but
this hnderance to full appreciation of the inate
value OF the lands in that section is now removed
by the location and construction of the Virginia
Central Railroad which passes within between three
ana tour miles OF the tract, with excellent road
from each to the other. There are Iron Works,
Mills, Churches and School houses almost in sight
OF the tract and in the midst of one OF Ost Quiet
neighborhoods in the County. The surface OF tho
tract is evenly, with but slight undulations we'll
| improved, and in fine heart. A large portion il
| now in Meadow, and altogether a meadow OF from
eighty to hundred acres might be easily made
and most of it may be erigated from the waters of
Smiths Creek. We doubt not that in FIVE years,
should times in pecuniary matters take favorable
turn the tract will realize to the purchaser one hum
dred per cent by resale. Lands, however. are
rapidly rising in value and price, in that section,
already.

The decided stand, which Gen. Cass has
taken in favor Of the Monroe doctrine Of
non-intervention by foreign powers into the
affairs of this continent, is likely soon to
be severely tested. Spain seems determined
to back her warlike declarations by an army
and navy, and if she does so, it will give
us the opportunity long and anxiously look
ed for. and afford us an ample excuse for
interfering in the affairs of this distracted
country. We believe the administration
has the nerve to push its claims to the Ut
most, and to contend to the last for our oft
promulgated doctrines. Under these cir
eumstances then, we need not be surprised
if the President in his forthcoming message,
should recommend some vigorous measures
to Congress, which we do not doubt will be
promptly reciprocated by that body. To
say the least Of it, Mexico is at present in
fearful state Of anarchy and confusion,
and lawful Intervention by any power
would be hailed as blessing by many of
its people. The U. S. is the only nation
which has a right to interfere, and nothing
should induce us to lose the present oppor-
tunity Of annexing SO fine and fertile ter
ritory to the South. This, together, with
the Nicaraguan and Cuban question will re-
quire all the nerve and strength which the
South can command, in the approaching
Congress. 1t is no party question, but a
southern one. We have no doubt but that
the opposition will consider it in the same
light. and be prepared to act in concert with
the Democratic party, where the interest of
the country is SO much at stake.

John LetCher and his ASSailantS.

Never in the political history Of Virginia
has man been SO shamefully misrepresen-
ted and abused as Mr.. Letcher has been.
Never in the annals Of Virginia politics, has
there been such vast amount Of calumny
and abuse heaped upon one individual, and
never in the annals of any country, whether
civilized or uncivilized, has there been such
an immense deal Of lying carried on in re-
gard to an honest man, as has been in regard
to Mr.. Letcher. Even the press of Virgin
la, which has SO long and SO deservedly been
considered pure and incorruptible, has been
the subject Of unmerciful Misrepresentation
It has been charged with having forfeited
its claim to the high and enviable reputation
which it has SO long sustained by being brib-
ed into the support Of Mr.. Letcher.
It is absolutely monstrous, that any man
or set of men should wilfully manufacture
and give circulation to such base misrepre-
sensations.
If the press has been bribed and any man
or set Of men, has made the discovery. why
should he or they be contented with indis-
criminate assertions and sly innuendoes
Why not point out the bribery and divulge
it to the world? The man that would pro-
mulgate such an ofense, would be perform
ing duty that owes to his fellow-men, tc
his country and to his god.
AS the sight Of water is to the poor victim
Of hydrophobia, so is the name Of John Letch-
er to his unfortunate opponents, and as the
victim of hydrophobia will use every means
to avoid direct aquatic contact, so will the
opponents Of Mr.. Letcher, use every means
in their power to avoid direct contact with
and his supporters. The name of Letche,
sends thrill of terror to the hearts of his
opponents, and hence we may readily account
for the unfair means to which his antagonists
resort
Among the charges brought against Mr.
Letcher, that of Ruffnerism is the most prom.
inent. Upon that his opponents still delight
to harp. It falls upon their ears like the
sounds of sweet melody, and lulls them t.
'ssweet repose." But to us til matter
Of surprise that any sensible man will take
any notice at all of charge so insignificant
and contemplate as that Of ''Ruffnerism y
But despite the feeble attempts of a few, te
throw the apple of discord into the Democrat
ic ranks, the people Of Virginia are nearly
all united in the support Of Hon. John Letch
er Of Rockbridge. One county after anoth
er comes out in support Of Letcher, declar-
ing that he is their choice, 'sfirst last anc
all the time,' and after the second day O.
December, when John Letcher will be de.
clared the nominee of the Petersburg Con.
vention, those who are nov so bitter in thei,
denunciation and uncompromising in thei1
opposition, will be the loudest and most 70.
ciferous in the praises OF Mr.. Letcher.-
