The Robertson Poisoning Case.

ROCHESTER,, SATURDAY, JAN 10 1000.
The Robertson case was called at O'Clock this
morning The mother Of the defendant was the first
witness She swore that she had lived with her son,
more or less since he had been married. She had
lived with him for the past two years, and nothing but
harmony had existed between him and his wife.
The surgeon who attended Mrs. Robertson wasthen
called He testified to the uniform kind attentions of
the defendant to his wife, and described the effects of
the various medicines which the prosecution claims
were procured of Biegler by the defendant to poison
his wife, some Of which, he said, were simple and
harmless
One witness testified that young Biegler had said
that Mr. Robertson had pressed him for the money due
from his father but that he bad cords tight around
Robertsons neck that the money woud r0nrc from the
other way; also that Biegler had said that if be coald
have his own way he would be the only witne IS
against the defendant
Nj. Dunklee, the cashier of the Zimmerman Bank,
was sworn He said that the defendant was neg0tlat.
ing 10 raise money and take the presidency of the said
bank and that the 90 50 and 20 days. which appeared
n the evidence of the prosecution doubtless referred
to the time in which the defendant must raise the
money.
In the afternoon session the conversation of young
Biegler about having cords around defendant
neck" was coroborated by two witnesses. BY another
witness was proven that the defendant out of the
city at time Biegler he at his office for
medicine to poison his wife.
Nothing further of importance ELECTED.
Adjourned till 10 o'clock Monday.

sesrns 70 he paid to his orders by the Mormons
...,.o,od al over the United States and Europe,
S. nobt find no difficulty in governing the Mormon
ch,rcb from such retreat, which might, indeed
b, r,moyipg him from the dangerous test of imme-
d;,te contact with bis his people, give him still
stronger hold upon their faith and Imagination.
In the mean time, in the leisure of the camp at
Fort Bridger, il is not merely criticisms on Gov
Cummings proclamation aud the speculations upon
the proper punishment Of treason that are INDUCED
10. The idea seems to be entertained that SAT-
Lske CITY ought to have been, and even yet ought
10 be- entered this Winter at any rate, and the con-
duct of some of their own officers appears TO De
very freely criticised by the troops. 1t appears 10
us. however. TO be quite mistake TO charge the
present awkward position Of the troops either upon
the hostile demonstrations of the Mormons or the
want Of resolution and efficiency on the part OF the
officers Of the expedition. If the Mormons had
NOT lifted a finger IN the way OF opposition, IL was
impossible for the troops to have succeeded In en-
ternp the valley this Winter. 1t seems TO be pay
inc the Mornons altogether too high compliment
70 give them the credit at least go far as thing
vet gone of ioiliug the expedition. Their destruc-
tion of provision trains and driving off of cattle
NAV have contributed to render the present posi-
ton of the troops more uncomfortable and more
critical but it was not the proclamation of Brigham
Young nor bis occupation of the passes, nor his
skilmshibg parties; it was the ateness OF the sea-
son and the SHOWS in. the mountains that stopped
the advance Of the troops. The credit of this OPP
GRAFTON belongs not to the Mormons, but to those
who kept the troops in Kansas long after they
ought to have been in full march for Utah. II Was
this delay and the Deficiencies in the Quarfermas-
ters department to which our correspondent re-
fe,s not the hostile attitude of the MormOns that
has caused the mischief.
The feeling in the camp against Col. Alexander
IN consequence of the backward movement toward
Fort Bridger is. to Judge from Col. Johnston
letters to the War Department sometime since
published entirely unreasonable. In the first place
that movement was made in consequence OF Col.
.Jobpston's oIders-a fact which seems not to be
known in the camp; and, in the second place, the
original advance was not with any intention OF
marching into the Valley but merely OF wlnterlng
at Soda Springs instead of at Fort Bridger. The
difficulty which the rear of the army had in reach
ing Fort Brdger, justifes the wisdom OF Col.
Johnston in concluding TO stop there instead OF
attempting to reach Soda Springs.

NEw-ORLEASs, Friday. Jan. ID, 1872
A sudden storm Of wind came up this afternoon ac'
companed by rain, which amounted to nearly num-
cane.
Fifteen ships broke from their moorings and were
considerably damaged. The c. S. PenneI, OF Bath
ard the Ellen Stewart, were badly injured. Several
houses were unrocfei and otherwise more or less IN
juIed.
The lake end of the PoncharTain Railroad is about
half DESTROYED. The damage to steamboats,, which the
wind broke loose from their fasteungs, is immense
Cbiunevs were blown down, and several lives were
lost. Many towboats were also injured.
1t is impossible to get the full particulars or the
names of the boats injured aud destroyed, toaght.
The storm lasted only half an hour
The storm blew down fences and injured many
yerandahs of houses in this city.
U;s NO, known whether il extended to the Gulf, bu
many fears are expressed in regard to the effects IN
that region, and that the damage is much greater than
has vet been reported.

soroI Of which Gov. Denver so bitterly complains
The difference between Kansas and Nebraska has

ment the Federal Government has been desperately
bent upon putting Kansas into the hands oil 'ue
shareholders. no matter what might be the ma
jority Of the inhabitants opposed TO that course ana
no matter what might be the means employed for
that purpose: while in Nebraska, beyond merei!
exerting the patronage Of the Government upon tae

their natural course. Had the same pole! oeen

If in Kansas. ss In Nebraska, all questions had
" been determined BY a resort to the balot-oox,
there, too, as in Nebraska, call parties would
% have yielded ready acquiescence In such de-
a. cisons" If in Kansas this method OF determl-
nation by the bsllotbox has been secuted the Free
State men are not responsible forit. Gov. Denvers
censure can only attach to the Border Rufians,
who began By violating the ballOt-bOxes, by means
of an armed invasion from Missouri, and to the
Administration at Washington and their partisans
in Congress, who persisted in recognizing as lawful
and legal the bogus Legislature imposed upon Kan
sas by such detesta6le means, and who are now at
tempting to impose upon Kansas State Constitu-
ton not made by the people or with their ap-
proval. but the handiwork of an inconsderable
minority.
Gov. Denver knows very well that the danger of
civil war which now hangs over Kansas grows
entirely out of the refusal of the General Govern
ment to sustain Gov Walkers policy "of a full and
"fair expression of the wishes of the people by
"means of the ballOt.box." He knows also that
the former civil war which has left behind it such
bitter and distracting fruits was produced by the
removal of Reeder because he would not give his
countenance to election frauds. The Free-State
men have never asked anything more than to have
all questions determined by resort to the ballot
box; they ask nothing more now; and from the
mt Mt this right is conceded to them We shall hear
no more of disturbances in Kansas. On the other
hand it ia vain to expect that without the full con-
cesson of this right Kansas ever will be quiet

be given to the Jury on Monday The sympathy for
