JUDGE CRAwFoRD's CHARdE.-Judge
Crawford, of the Criminal Court Of the
District of Columbia, in his charge to
the grand jury, on Monday last, thus
refers to the spirit of lawlessness which,
unhappily, prevails TO greater or less
extent throughout the country:
The disposition to riot and street dis
order which has been so prevalent of late
years, not in Washington only, but eve
rywhere, is more discreditable to us in
the United States than to others; for we
of all people have the least reason, if we
have any, to complain that the means of
happiness and rational enjoyment are not
within the reach of every citizen. He
may be richer or poorer, more or less
fortunate than his noighbor in many
other important respects, but it is in eve-
ry mans power in this country to live in
competence and comparative ease under
the protection of the best government on
earth. But idleness, want of education
and neglect of moral culture, intemper-
ance, and, the source of all this moral
decline, the absence of parental discipline
and restraint, have SO Frustrated the bar
riers set up against vice and made so
many inroads upon virtue, that thought
full men begin to wonder where all this
is to end, and it is a question hard to be
answered. For you and me it is only
proper to move in the correction of these
evils as the law has given authority. If
a change in punishment is desired, or
more stringency is thought necessary,
another branch of the government must
be invoked. Until such alteration is
made, let us proceed as we have been
accustomed to do, and as we can only
lawfully do. Into this class of cases
recommend rigid examination, and hope
for conviction where there is guilt. The
most lamentable feature of this modern
turbulence is the carrying of firearms
and other deadly weapons, the general
use Of which transfers US to barbarous
times, when the strength of mans arm
was the arbitor of his rights, of which,
until very late days, advancing ciyiliza-
ton had relieved us. This retrograde
movement must be restrained, and shall
be punished, so far as this court has pow
er, in all cases of established guilt.

ANNUAL AcRIcuLTURAL EXHIBITIONS.
The executive committee of the United
States Agricultural Society have decided
to hold their annual national fair at Rich
mond, Virginia, on the Goth of October
that city having offered sufficient in
ducements for the acceptance of that To-
cality by the National Society.
The Maryland Agricultural Society
have also fixed upon that day for the
commencement Of their annual fair at
their agricultural grounds, near Balti-
more. The decision of the Maryland
society having been made before the
action of the National Association was
made known, it is to be supposed that
the State society will change the day fix
ed upon, so as not to interfere with the
exhibition of the National Society.
The fair of the National Agricultural
Society viii be continued one week-that
of the Maryland State Society usually
lasts three days.

MINNESOTA. - Governor Sibley, of
Minnesota, delivered his inaugural adj
dress on the I'd inst The position which
Minnesota recently occupied before Con-
gress and the country renders this mes
sage Of more than ordinary interest to
the public.
J. The peaceful admission of Minnesota
into the Union as State, without anar-
chy or bloodshcd, receives the first con-
gratulations Of the government; but he
dwells long ana bitterly upon the treat
ment she has received at the hands of
Congress, in SO long asls5yhsags 10 admit
her, notwithstanding her full compliance
with the requirements of the enabling
act. The following paragraph breathes
a truly conservative and patriotic spirit,
and is fitting rebuko to those discor-
dant agitators who are continually striv-
ing to sunder the bonds of our Union
Minnesota enters the Union as thir-
ty-second State. She extends friendly
hand to all her sisters, North and South,
and gives them the assurance that she
joins their ranks-not to provoke section
al discord or to engender strife--not to
enlist in a crusade against such of them
as differ. with her in the character of
their domestic institutiohs--but to pro-
mote harmony and goodwill, and to lend
her aid, on ali occasions, in maintaining
the integrity Of the Union.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF DOUBTFUL
IDENTITY. The Portsmouth 60. } Jour-
nal of the 4th instant furnishes the par
ticulars of case of doubtful identity
which in some respects throws Townsend
McHenry in the shade. Robert McAu-
ley went from Lucasville, Scioto county,
Ohio, about six years ago, to Califor-
MIA, leaving family behind. During
his absence they have been receiving let
ters from him, and only short timo
ago they received letter from him in
which he stated that it was his intention
to return home. He also wrote that he
was sick. During last week gentle
man presented himself at Piketown,
Ohio, and represented himself as Mr..
Robert McAuley, and said he was out
of money and was not able to walk home.
A citizen kindly volunteered to take the
sick. man to his supposed family. He
was taken to near relative in the
neighborhood where his wife Gas he
claimed) lived. The wife was sent for.
She came but failed and utterly refused
to recognize him. She said he was an
imposter, there being no resemblance
between him and her husband The
gentleman endeavored to relate circum-
stances to convince his wife and friends
that he was no imposter--and did seem
to know almost every thing that it would
be supposed that Mr.. McAuley ought to
know. The family and brothers still
refuse to acknowledge him, and. he is
now in Portsmouth sick and out of mo,
ney. What adds to the mystery of the
whole affair is the seeming fairness OF
his whole story. He knows all his old
neighhors and every thing about theii
history, yet his family don't know him.
Some of the neighbors say it is he, but
others denv il.

TIE ATLANTIC TELEeRAPu CABLE
81. Johns, NJ r., June 21.-The Gov
eminent will dispatch q steamer to Trim
ity Bay to pilot in the Niagara as near
as practicable to the point where it has
been decided to land the cable. The
Niagara will be expected momsntarily
on and after Saturday next, but from the
fact that the feet would use no steam in
reaching the middle Of the Atlantic, it
is quite possible that the Niagara may
not reach this coast before the LIST Of
July. This Office has been placed in
communication with the Office in Trinity
Bay, and it is understood that tho Tele-
graph Company will place their wires
hence to New York at the service Of The
press and public for the transmission of
such communications connected with the
great event as may be handed in for a
few days subsequent to the arrival of the
Niagara.

SwINDLISG.-Some queer revelations
are sometimes made in the courts. Last
week, in Philadelphia, suit was brought
to recover $685. for engraving plates for
work called "Kane's Arctic Expsdi-
ton" The evidence showed that Kane
had nothing to do with tho book, and
that it was, in fact, a cheat throughout.
II was proved that an engraving of a
picture representing tho, " Advance" as
stuck fast in the ice, was copied from an
old picture in the life of Captain Lewis
Cook, with the exception ofthe ice, which
was put in according TO fancy; that
the portrait of "Sontag," ono of Kane's
officers, was copied from the likeness Of
an old highwayman in the Police Ca
ze.te, and the occultation of Saturn from
an old geography, &C. The book, new
ertheless, gave immense satisfaction to
the public, who bought thousands Of
copies The jury made the publishers

Mr.. EDIroR-The present lowering
aspect OF the political horizon admonishes
us, if we will heed the warming, to select,
in the ensuing canvass for State officers,
men of the highest order of talent. We
of the west, particularly, need such m m
to represent us in the councils OF our
State. And while we have men in our
midst OF the highest order of talen;s-mAn
who would reflect lustre upon any posi-
lion they might be called to tiIl-we have
in too many instances, selected gentlemen
gilmore limited capacity to represent orr
interests, and have, from la cause. il
too many instances. been made tt G dupes
of our more astute Eastern brethren. If
we would succeed in developing the I'M
told wealth Of Western Virginia, we
must elect men to the L'gila:ure who
thorpu9hly understand the interests and
wants of this portion of the State, and
who have the ability to M Ike those wants
Enowr,' and those grievances redressed
Such a man Is Col r. Il. HARvEyof Put

ed with the intricate machinery of poll
tics both State ana federal. lie Is as
thoroughly acquainted with The interests

Great Men.

There are three distinguishing traits of
mind, or rather, orders ofmeu, in the word
recognized under the above head.
The first, and lowest, is that class,
which never originates any thing great,
nor follows IN tie wake of those who 10,
but is always found in the opposition
Having the organ of destructiyeness very
largely developed, this class is often
more TO be feared than admired. 1t often
attains to high distinction in It's way, and
sometimes seems even +" wonderful to the
pulling down of strong holds"
The second, and more useful class, is
that which, rising above the bootless effort
of opposing every thing, but not rising to
the summit of originating the great meas
ures which it supports, has the wisdom
and discretion to directi.s energies in the
right channel, and thereby eGectuate,
whatever genius has originated.
The third, and highest class, is that
which stops not to tear down tie humber
structures of others. bat, self-reliant, rears
its stupendous works in all the granduer
and magnifcence of their own originality.
OF these classes, Virginia has furnish
ed some illustrious examples. To the
first, belonged Randolph to the second,
Madison and TO the third. Jefferson.
But. who exemplify them now? Alas!
A multitude of little men futter in The
first class, 100 numerous and insignificant
10 be named, who attack the Union, North
and South attack the administration and
all it does /; attack sthe State, and her pol
10y, her system of Internal Improvements.
