WEEKLY TELEGRAPH.
AsHTABULA:
Saturday Morning, Oct. 80, 1858.

The Editor has not yet retRrned, but Is con
Adently eSpeeted tLs week.
We take his opportunity, therefore, to say,
In parting with The Readers Of the TELEoRAFH,
es we trust we shall now be permitted, that they
are chiefly indebted for their papers the past
two weeks 10 those who have had charge Of
this Office. Aud should we be disappointed 10
our expectation, as expressed above, we are
siill confident that the business Of the Office in
the same reliable hands, viii continue to be con
Quoted with equal care and promptness.
But as 10 the Editor we confess TO a good deal
Of apprehension, always when be goes away
alone. and had we even suspected that be con.
templaied so rash a step Ot this time, we Ger.
tainly should have labored with him. We have
not forgotten his long preaehments to u.s. on
the sublime ahd beautiful in res matrimonium
nor his eloquent pleadngs in behalf Of Provi
dence that Il is the manifest design, chat al
animated nature should go out in pairs. Wber
10 just as we were about to believe, .ere il
something 10 Il, aud sigh over the unequal dis
tribution ofthese delectabe blessings, off start;
tbs Editor ab re urroid 0bhoiTens as IL tc
eouiound u, and fru,t-ate this benefcent design
Now this is not right; at least we think it is
not We could not tell exactly, how we should
do, II we had been so blessed, but we think we
should not go away alone, ever; except pos
sbly, to quell rebellion, or suppress a mu
tiny, or on some very hazardous expedition.
As it is we are already engaged to take care
ef the children, and let the good lady Of the
house 60 next time,-and we doubt not, We
shall exhibit quite as much genius at this busi
ness, as at editing. a.so
N. B. If the Editor does not return beror

Dry Goods.


Business in n. Y, as we learn from the
Independent, has fallen off very decidedly.
The mass of undesirable goods in market is
very great, and prices of these are very
heavy. This is especially the case with
woolens. Desirable silks aud dress goods
are sold down to a very small stock, so that
prices are steady. Any goods, however,
below the choice qualities are selling at a
sacrifice. Ribbons especially feel the effects
of the present taste for feathers and velvet
trimmings for ladies' bonnets, and are dull
and heavy. Trade has been much concen-
tratod this season. A few houses have
been doing a very large business. Many
houses have done fair business, but a
great many have done but poorly The
wooden trade has done less than the silk
trade, on account of its great overstock Of
winter goods, Domestic goods are 10 mod
crate demand, but prices are not so firm.
The auction sales are unimportant The
jobbers find their trade much cHrtailed, but
are looking with expectation 10 renewals OF
orders aud a later trade; an expection
which is based on the fact, that the early
purchases were limited in amount. and hard
ly sufficient to supply a winter stock to
their country customers.

siderable attention from the fancy gentle
men, notwithstanding the Morrissey and
Heenan excitement. Two females, Mrs.

stands longest without rest to be the victor.
The parties are allowed any refreshments
they desire, but are not permitted to sit
down or leave the platform TO partake.-
They commenced this useful oecnpationyes-
terday at twelve O'Clock, and at twelve
O'Clock to-day were performing their rounds,
though with evident symptoms Of weari'
ness, and Flora, at first the favorite, com
planned of having taken cold last night
Both pedestrians have walked sixty con-
secutive hours on former occasions Lam

for legitimate trading trip to the coast of
Africa On their arrival al st. Micheals,
all hands were called aft, when Capt Dob
son disclosed to them his plans, saying he
was bound for the coast to obtain cargo
of slaves, and asked if they had any Oh
lection to go, offering at the same time
great inducements as to their pay. They
all, however, refused to accompany him on
such voyage, and the captain finding the
determination of the crew could not be
changed by any promises, and getting some
what frightened for fear the crew wonld
enter a complaint against him, he concluded
to abandon the vessel and the voyage

EMIGRATION TO KANsAss-Thc Kansas
City journal of the lst mentions that on
that day over 80 emigrant wagons left that
place for different points iu southern Kan
sas. among them were nineteen families
from the states of Wisconsin, Iowa Hi
nois, and Ohio. The land emigration to
the territory for the past two weeks has
been larger than at any time this year
There seems TO be a general exodus,
from the older western states, to the
rc farming valleys of southern Kansas
There is not probably in all our public do
main greater area of first class land fol
all branches of farming farms, pro
duce farms, dairy, orchard and vineyard
farm, hemp tobacco and cotton farms--anC
last, but not least, farms for the raising OF
shecp-than is TO be found among the coun
ties of southern Kansas. Our city is every
day crowded with detachments of this i'm
mense emigration, and there is one feature
among this moving multitude that we can
not fail to admire-it is an emigration o.
fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, with
all their household effects and their stock
and implements of agriculture"

Carr TOWNSEND, THE SLAYER, TO GosouTH
FOR TR1AL.-Judge Sprague, of the u. S.
circuit court at Boston, charged the grand
jury on Friday, that the court has no ju-
risdiction in the case of Capt Townsend, of
the SLAYER Echo, and that the law requires
that be shall be remanded to the judicial
district where he first landed The SLAYER
will therefore be sent to Florida for trial,
which is nearly equivalent to, his discharge.
This Interpretation of the law is assumed
to be the true one when Capt Townsend
was first brought north by mistake ol
Lieut. Alafit.

SINGULAR INSTRUCTIONS BY A KENTUCKY
JUDGE.-In Franklin Circuit Court, Ken
lucky, Wash Evelyn has been convicted of
killing Dan McCurdy, and sentenced to
the pententiary for five years. In MOTTO
ing the case, the Frankfort Yeoman re-
marks
Judge Nuttall instructed the jury that if
they believed the prisoner was sufficiently
drunk at the time the offence was commit
ted as not to know what he was doing, they
we're to find him not guilty. The substance
of the instruction was about this: If it
appeared that man intended to commit
crime before he got drunk, and committed
it in state of intOxication, his drunken
ness was no excuse or paliaton of the Of
fence; but if without having determined
to perpetrate crime, he became too drunk
to know what he was about, and in this
case committed murder, he could not be
held guilty.
1t is the decisions of such Judges that
are fast making Kentucky law by-word.
