The trial Of George w. Hardy, an old and
respectcd citizen Of New Orleans, and a vete-
ran teacher in the public schools for over
quarter of century, for the killing Of Chas.
III. G. Stone, IA native of Nlrginle,) young
man of previously irreproachabie character;
and a Junior mem Ter OF one OF the largest aud
most respectable mercantile houses of that
citv. took place on the 18th instant. The
killing grew out of the charge that Stone bad
ssGu,ed the daughter Of Hardy, and then re-
fused to marry her. The trial seems to have
created intense excitement, aud the court
room was thrcnged with an anxious multi
tude, Tho defense admitted the killing, but
con,opded tha., under the circumstances, 1t
was unsuitable The case was submitted to
the iury, without argument, and 10 few
minutes returned verdict Of mot guilty 4"
The result produced scene seldom witness
ed in such place. Cheer after cheer re-
sounded throug Cd the building, and the IN
diensnt remoostrances of the judges, and
vigorous exertions of the deputy sberits, fall
ed to ouiet the enthusiasm. The denonstra-
t;ons were renewed outside the court room,
until Mr.. Harby succeeded in getting away
from his friends ard driving of IN carriage
with his daughter.

of many gentlemen. Of this We had none;
but the heavy rains which fell at the same
time, are supposed to have destroyed or
washed from the head the blossom, produc-
ing what is termed ScQJ, which now shows
| itself in more than one-half of the entire
crop. What escaped this disease, the rust
has taken hold Of, and must necessarily re-
duce the crop to about two-ffths of an aver
age one; and, indeed, it would be less, had
not the prospect ut the time Of heading for a
heavy yield been greater than for many
years feel confident, that from nv field,
which must have, with a favorable season, pro-
duced two thousand bushels, there will not
be reaped FIVE hundred Of good gIain-none
that will answer for seed.

with short crops there must follow short pur-

Loudoun County, Va.

The Militia OF the 56th Regiment were
regularly organized at meeting at HILLSIDE

four hundred present.
TIE officers of the several com panies were
duly elected. The day passed off quietly
and in good order.
Cavalry Company has been organized in
Marlborough and Wheatland, and Thomas
White, esq, elected Captain.
Fifteen slaves runaway from the neigh
bOrhood Of LoVettsville and Wheatland on
Saturday night last, Col. Mailman, John
y Washington, Mrs. Hickman, Vim. Wen
ner, and Col. Robert L. Wright are the suf-
lerers. This is serious loss, which will be
felt rather Cppressively at this time. Ifthere
could DO any possible plan provided by which
these losses could be prevented, it ought to
be done, and tha; Immediately. A free ne
gro by the name OF Lander Jackson, alias
Lander Lyons, the father, as we are inform
! ed Of some Of these slaves, was compelled, q
short time ago, to leave this County, aud we
are told he now resides in Maryland, near
Berlin, contrary to the laws of tina. State.
We have been shown several stalks Of
wheat from the farm Of Henry Saunders,
esq, which have been destroyed by worm
boring through the stalk alter the wheat is
in full head. He states that this is new
recruit to the army of wheat iestroyers, being
entirely different from the Joint worm. Ma

1t the rust, and predict not more than an
average half crop for the County. We hope

posed 10 the Court to have entered upon It's

will stand up to her engagements to the last
extremity, and any one who thinks she
ought 10 do otherwise, meets with no sympa-

rfce honor, integrity and their highest To-

spoke ably in opposition to Mr.. C.'s sug-

At recent meeting of the New York
Historical Society, Mr.. Charles II. Moore
read a long paper, in which he gave de-
tailed biographical sketch of General Charles
Lee, from the time he entered the army
in England, at the age Of eleven years, to
his death in Philadelphia, 10 March 1852
Mr.. Moore produced documents in the hand
writing of Gen. Lee, furnishing the most con-
elusive evidence Of his reasonable designs.
The documents were recently obtained from
England, and have never appeared in print.
The public will be curious to see these
documents, and the evidence Of their au-
thentcity. In the mean time, we prefer to
wait, before yielding belief to the charges OF
