The Hartford Press states that as Marshal
Jewell, of the firm of P, Jewell & Son ofthat
city, owning from Culpepper, Va, to
Alexandra, last week, he CHANGED to smile
at military company which was goiug to
the rescue of CharlestOwn. In the cars he
was beSet by the militia men, and though
rather of the conservative order at home, he
was led to ''free his mind upon the ridicu-
lous conduct at Harper's Ferry. They ex-
pressed a general determination to put him
off the cars. Inasmuch as he alone had paid
his fare, and the rest were all ''dead heads,
he respectfully informed them that he should
not leave, but that as many as laid their hands
on him should receive ticket for the other
world. After much wrangling on their part
and many jokes from Mr.. Jewell upon the
capture of Herper's Ferry by seventeen men,
they concluded to let him alone.

The Atlantic Telegraph {, Eumbmg.

A writer in the Boston Courier, Of the Sd ult

Company, showing conclusvely, by documen-
tary evidence, what has long been understood
by the people of the country, that the Atlantic

The whole thing was premeditatcd plan on
the part ofthe Company, to humbug the people
of the United States and England, contrved
and executed in order that a few spectators
connected with the concern might realize hand
some dividends rom the sale ofits stocks. This
work OF huge pretensions and evanescent glory,
which was born and d led amid one and the

in a grand enterprise, but only as the coolest
and most gigantic humbug ever heard Of in this
or any other country. All the proof on this
subject points unerringly to studied system
on the part OF the Company TO impose upon and
deceive community, the only motive OF which
was an unwarranted speculation in the sale Of
the Company's stock to the unsuspetting and
uninitiated in this country and abroad. BY
this system ofunparaIleled deception and false
hood, and by the connivance connected with
the Associate Press, a generous public conf
dence and sympathy have been Shamefully NAL
treated and duped; and the entire editorial
corps of the United States have been made the
unsuspccting instruments Of extending and per-
petrating this stupendous imposition. Its au
thors, whoever they are, should be exposed to
the contempt ofall men.

the extent this humbuS was carried, that hu

Magistrate of this Republic. together with the

This eminent and able jurist, whose talents
and learning have adorned the Supreme Bench
OF Ohio for period Of seven years, concluded his
second term on few days since. Elected under
the organization of the judicial department i'm
mediately succeeding the adoption Of the New
preme Bench ever since, not without some sac.
rifice on his part in pecuniary sense. He has
distinguished himself in his high capacity, by
the soundcess ofhis legal opinions, the vigor oI
his arguments, and the industry ofhiS well di-
rected research. His talents and integrity have
commanded the respect OF the bar, and the con.
fidence of the people.
Chief Justice BARLEY, after announcing the
disposition Of the further business of the ses-
sion for Tuesday, said "that his connection
with the Court would close with this day. The
annual change in the organization Of the Court
would take place on to morrow, when his sue
cessor would enter upon the discharge ofhis
duties. This change is by the oction ofthe ma
jority Of the people of the State; and submit,
said he, most cheerfully to this behest Of the
people, not only on account Of the high source
of its authority, bnt also, because my own per-
sonal interests which have, for some years, suf-
fered severely from my engagements in my Of
fetal duties, necessarily require my care and at
tention. And while have good reason to
know that my own interests and comfort, and
that of my family, will be promoted by the
change, have reason to believe that the public
interests-the cause o justice-will loose moth
ing, but trust, gain in the hands fthe learn
ed and distinguished gentleman who takes my
place. ....
"For the past seven years, have labored to
the utmost oil my humble ability to discharge
faithfully and truly the duties Of the trust com
mitted to me as member Of this court, In re-
viewing the results the laborous research and
legal investigations in which have been aSso-
ciated with the other members Of this court,
during that period, find many things upon
which my memory dwells with qualification
and pleasure. And although, in scrutinizing
my own short coming find instances in which
could wish that had bettered my efforts in
the discharge of my duties; yet have the ben
eff ofthe reflection, that in all my labors have
never ALTERED in doing what believed, at the
time, right and truth demanded in the admin
istration Of justice. j. Statesman.

eloquenly alluded to Washington and Clay as
eminent Patriots, Statesman and Freemasons.
The former he designated as the Farther OF the
Republic. the latter as its Preserver. The Wor-

He promises those that buy IRON him all the

Now if these merchants in Harrison county
who wished to get their printing done, had
brought the job to either the "SenhaeF' or Ere

that our friends are wiser now than they were

Planting Potatoes in the same Miil

cultural paper, as recollect, Of any one having
raised potatoes with corn in the same hif.
thought would try the experiment last spring.
had finished the potatoes that was intending
to plant, but having some ones left concluded
to plant them in the same hills with a patch Of
corn, and make the effect. Iplanted the corn
about the 25th of May the season being 50 wes
could not plant them sooner. dropped tho
corn and potatoes together, hoed them the same
time and dug the potatoes soon after cutting up
the corn. The ground was not firstrate, but
the corn was an average crop, full as good as
some near by where com was planted alone
The potatoes were first rate te-never saw finer.
shall try this again next Spring, and il they
succeed as we'll as they did this year, I shall
continue to plant them together. 1.-THE two
crops do as we'll together as seperate, it makes
a great saving Of labor to plant them together.
Has anv one tried planting two crops together2
iiso give the result through the Farmer. E. =.
