The RiRht Spirit.

The Atlanta. Georgia, American makes an ear
nest appeal to the Opposition Of that State to rally
for the approaching contest. We commend to our
own readers the zeal and determination evinced
by our Georgian contemporary. Listen to the fol-
lowing blast from his bugle:
"'Our Voice is for war; As we bolicve in the
eternity Of principle and revere the heaven born
cause Of Truth-inasmuch as VIC cherish fond
regard for the philosophy Of our own belisf-ior-
asmuch as we desire for our own enjoyment and
for the transmission TO posterty, Of those exalted
liberties secured to US by our Revolutionary faith
ers--we slenll s.and Gum for the right. IT We
are right, honest, and believe truly that the Demo-
cratic patty in it's blind infatuated and corrupted
mission is Fastening the Government to dismcni-
berment aud to ruin, TO sit idly by andneve raise
n hand or utter u word, wonld show in us moral
obliquity. If not absolute knavery."
Amer enumerating the sins Of tho corruption
crow il proceeds:

jure the Opposition of Georgia 10 rally for the

When Mr.. Graham had concluded Judge Craw-
ford left the room for few moments.
Mr.. Brady submitted TO Mr.. Ould some letters
Of Mr.. Key. which were identified by Messrs.
Ould and Carlisle as being In the handwriting Of
Mr.. Key.
Mr.. Brady proposed 70 read q letter. dated
March z6: 1858, from Mr.. Key to Mr. Sicklcs.

Mr.. Ould said that the 6rst of the letters pur-

enclosing letters from various parties, and replies
all the enclosures being copies in the hand Of
Mr.. Key. The objection was that these letters
were in no manner connected with the matter at
present being tried. The greater part of tho let
ters were Q correspondence between Mr.. Key and
other parties than Mr.. Sickles. They had no d.
rect connection with tho matter now being tried
by the court and jury.
Mr. Brady replied that in opening the case,
Mr.. Ould bad anid that he would prove the ineen-
tive by which Mr.. Sickles was VI gcd to kill Mr..
Key was malicious,nnd when the evidence for the
government was adduced II was not shown that
the parties had been even personally acquainted
whom the collision took place. The jury had only
been shown That's meeting on the street had taken
place. which had resulted in the death of one by
the hands Of tho prisoner. In producing this cor.
resI~ndence. it was the object of the defence to
show that friendly feelings existed betxcen the
prisoner and the deceascd-a species OF evidence
which was admissible in trials for murder.
Mr.. Guild did not think that these letters showed
their face that friendly relations existed between
the parties. Even if this were the cnse the letters

between the parties over a year before tho occur

of the deceased.

McKESziE. Our acknowledgements are due to the

work il we'll conceived and we'll executed. Sever
al persons iortuitously met ut quiet English wa
tcring- place, and. very unlike Engshmen, they do
termned. though strangers to each other. to make
themselves sociabe. The company consisted Of
Tresillan. two ladies, author. On artist, q sol
der, an Irish gentleman and an editor who record
ed the sayings and doings Of tho company. After
admiring tho picturesque beauty of the pl'ce. and
the Roman remains in the vicinity, they bcgucd
their leisure hours by storytelling. A few of
these stories are dull or extravagant, but most of
them are entertaining and we'll told. The book is
interpreted with interesting conversations on sub
jects relating to wit and literature On the whole
"Tresilian aud his friends" is n very readable
book.

Mr. Letcher, we understand, denies having yo-
ted for the appropriation topny the expenses of
Kossuth in Washington city. Technically, MIR.
| Lctcher Is right-because the appropriation was
paid out Of the contingent fund of the Senate
But how did the Senate get its contingen. fund.-
1t was voted by the House Of Representatives. and
Mr. Letcher, We suspect, was member of tho
Committee ot Way ..i Means which reported the
appropriation. So that. ia u roundabout way.
Mr.. Letcher is responsible for the vote. There
are other ways Of killing dog besides hanging
him.
