points on which an arrest of judgement was
asked in Browns case, in addition to rea-
sons mentioned yesterday. 1t hal not been
proved beyend doubt that he was ever cit.
izen of the L. S. He argued that treason
could not be committed against state, but
only against the general government, citing
as authority Judge Story. Also that the Jury
had not found the prinoner guilty of crimes
as charged in the indictment. and had not re.
sponded to offences charged, but found him
guilty of offences not charged. They found
him guilty of murder in the first degree.
when the indictment don't charge him with
offences constituting that crime.
Hunter replied, quoting the Virginia Code,
to the effect that techncaltes should not ar
rest the administration of justice. As the iu-
risdic ion over treason, it was stuff .ient to say
that Virginia had PISSED a law assuming that
Jurisdiction and defining what constitutes
that crime.
The Court reserved its decision. Brown was
present during the argument.

ecret History of Kossuth's Connection with Louis Napoleon.

x Mons, PuLsKY writes to the New York Eribune that the following are the prlncl- n points of the secret history of Kos prH's connection with LouIs NAPOLEON: &As soon as the war in Italy against fnstria was resolved upon, Napoleon, fictor Emanuel, and Count Cavour plann- a an insurreclion in Hungary as one of "a means of coercing Austria to evacuate |hly. They, however, knew Kossuth too 2e Il not to know that scheme by which Hungary would have acted as the catspaw & Italy, to be deserted by the allies in 6er hour of need, could not meet with his Sprobation. They therefore tried to ar Snge matters without him, but when they 3tw that his name and talents were indis- 6nsable to any rising in Hungary, and Sben they found that he had both the pow e and the will to prevent an ill-timed in-
 Erection, they made overtures to him Ile twice had an interview with the En- peror Napoleon-once at Paris, in the 3hleres. and once in the camp at Val Egio-where the plans for an invasion ol Hungary by French troops were discuss s and fixed, provided that the war should ezend to the shores of the Adriatic.
 This, however, did not take place, and Jus the Hungarian expedition was of
 prse postponed until the second Italian 1|mpagn, which cannot fail to follow in a " years, unless Austria changes her
 etem of policy.
 Whatever we may say against Napole- 0 that he Jeff the Tuscans, Modene$,
 Dmagnals, and Venetians in the lurch, 1hd did not fulfil his famous Milan prom !& to free Italy from the Alps to the Adrl- Ssic, still we cannot say that he betrayed Hungary or Kossuth. He threw away a
 endid opportunity of re-establishing
 nself by destroying Austria and giving
 edom to the nations oppressed by her ;
 he had not the nerve to incur the open
 etility of Prussia and the resentment of
 bgland, for it is certain that even the zberal statesmen of England believe that
 5rope requires an Austria. They wish
 better Austria, but an Austria they
 hst have to preserve their balance ol
 wer.

Tennessee Ninth Congressional District


 The crazy exutations of the Opposition on the election of ErHRrDcE are thus com men,ed upon by the Trenton Tenn,) Journal:
 In the ninth Congressional district, through fraud and the grossest misrepre- sentalions, with little intriguing with Democrats, MT. E,herdge has only succeeded by Eight votes, when in 1852 the district was given to him with an Opposition majority of as many hun dred. Indeed so great was his majority in the district that for one or two elections the Democracy did not deem il necessary to run a candidate against him Two years ago, however, they succeeded in de- fea,ing him by small majority. and in the present election with the heaviest vote that was ever boiled in it, he succeeds by only eight, and that through the grossest frauds that was ever practiced as we are prepared to show. This is the district that gives tone to all the Opposition rejoicing from one extreme of the Union 10 the oth- CT, yet we can see nothing in 1t. except the bare fact of his reelection over which they might crow. In period of eight or ten years the Democrats have only suc- ceeded once in carrying the district, and then by small majority. Divest il now of the illegal votes that were cast in each county, of which we have undisputed evil dence, and Gen. Atkins would stand be- fore the country with three to five hundred majority. Do they rejoice over this fact !

MrRovEb R. r. CATTLE GATE.-we have been
shown by the inventor Mr. Moses Hall, Jr., Of
Osborn, Green County, model Of an improved
Cattle Guard, or Gate, which he has Just had
patented, The gate is upright, and is attached
to timbers under the rails on either side Of cross
ngs. and the ends work loosely in pivot A
spring is attached to each end Of the gate on
both sides, and passes several feet long the in
side Of the rail, and is secured Ia q groove
(through which II works easily,) to tie. As
soon as the Aanges of the locomotive wheels
strike the spring the gate will fall fat, and re-
main so until the last wheel Of the rear car has
passed the place, when the gate will instantly
resume its erect position, and effectually keep
all kinds of stock from passing inside the en-
closure. The spring cannot be depressed by a
less weight than hand car, weighing from 800
10 1900 pounds, and of course the gate cannot
be pushed down by cattle. sffF y
This guard is certrinly the greatest desiderA.
tum for the pupose ever yet invented. Itiscom'
plete and will be strong protection to travellers
We hope to hear Of it being placed at the cross
lngs Of every Railroad iD the country.
