CoSvlcrroS.-On Monday and Tuesday the
Court in Albemarle engaged in the case Of
the Commonwealth vs.. Judy, slave, charged
with an attempt to kill her mistress, Mrs. Vim. o.
Terrell. Of this county, on the 9th day of April
last. The facts ELECTED in the examination made
out against the prisoner of the strongest cas-
es We have ever heard. The prisoner, every
occasion, has protested that one was implicated
with her in the deed. and has on more than one
occasion since expressed her determination t.,
take her mistrcss's life if ever she got out Of Jail.
The prisoner appears to possess the usual intelli-
gence of her nge and position and has been
treated by hor master and mistress with kindness.
With these facts before the Court readers will
doubtless imagine that the trial would inevitably
result in n sentence Of death. The Court did pass
that sentence and fixed the day of execution for
the list Friday in October. The prisoner at
the time she perpetraed the deed lin April only
eight years and ten months of age. and it is thought
it would he cruel to see young hung for
offence for which shcis not morally and bare
lv> legally responsible The common law fixes
the age!at which legal responsibility commences

RICH. VERY!

The Gdzette'S article last week attempting to
make political capital out of the action of w.
P. Schell in the Senate week or two ago, on
the extra pay question. lit will be reccollected
that Schell last session voted for the $500 er-
ira pay.) He offered an amendment to the ap-
preparation bill that the pay should be reduced
to $500, which carried, and in the evening, an
other member of the Senate, offered an amend
ment that the 500 should be restored, and Mr..
Schell and all the other Locofoco members of
the Senate uoted for the restorationi So the bill
making the pay 800 aoas passed unan imously
by the Looofoco Senate! Mr.. Schell is a queer
fish, isn't he? And tho Gazette is hard up for
capital! Mr.. Schell wanted the two hundred
extra, last session, and after few somersets
this session, he shows by his votes that he still
wants IT, Plenty of other Loeofocos, however,
would like it just as we'll as Mr. Schell.

PETERsoNs' CHEAP EDITION OF WAvERLEY
NovELs.-We have this day received ROB Roy,
BY Sir Walter Scott. being the third volume of
I. B. Peterson & Brothers new and cheap
weekly issue of the Waverley Novels, by Sir
Walter Scott Giving truthful delineations of
people, character and manners ever upholdng
the cause of religion, morality and virtue, they
should be welcome at every firesde where these
precepts are taught. The great barrier, here
tofore, to the introduction of these works, has
been the high price at which they have been
held, but this objection is being now overcome,
by the publication of these works of Scott in
such form and at such low price as to bring
them within the means Of all persons whatever,

Mount vernon Ladies Association.

We publish the following Appeal of the Vice
Regent of Pennsylvania, for the purchase of
Mount Vernon, as sacred duty We owe the
memory of the great immortal chief whose re-
mains are entombed in the hallowed grounds of
Mount Vernon, now about to become the prop
crty of the patriotic Ladies of America. Sew
cral payments have been made and some pur-
chase money yet remains unpaid. In no State
in the Union Is the name and fame of Wash
ington more raycred than it is in Pennsylva-
MIA 1t was in the Western part Of eur State,
then wilderness, that he displayed those early
and great qualities as military chief, which
prepared him for the more arduous conduct of
the campaigns of the Revolution. So long as
as the classic names Of Brandywine, German
town and Valley Forge, remain bright in the
annals of history, viii Pennsylyanians never
forget the duty they owe 10 the memory of him,
with whom the great chiefs of ancient and
modern times bear no comparison. Bedford
County was County before the Revolution,
and from her limits did many of her patriotic
sons 60 forth, and take part in the battles Of
the Revolution. Over her ground did the
Young and beardless Colonel at the battle of
Fort D1quesne, march at the head of his colo
nial militia. And here, in Bedford, for weeks,
did the old chief, then President, make his head
quarters, there being no necessity for his going
further West, as the mistaken boys Of the sWhis-
key lnsnrrectiou,' peaceably laid down their
arms and submitted to the laws of their country.
Many of our aged citizens remember him well,
and delight to talk of their recollections of his
personal appearance. &c. We hope our siti-
zens will subscribe willingly to the fund for the
purchase of the home and grave of the Father
OF his Country.
Miss ELLA WATSON Of Bedford, has been
appointed Manager of the "Mount Vernon La
dies Association" for the County Of Bedford,
with power to appoint Assistants in different
parts of the County, for the purpose Of collect
ing money to aid in paying the balance of the
purchase money due on Mount Vernon. Miss
Watson will make an energetic Manger, and she
Intends to commence soon to solicit subscrip-
tions in our place, but this should not prevent

AN OLD CITIzEN.-M Maj. JAMES BURNS, of
Juniata Township, in this County, was in our
town on Tuesday, looking as young aud active
as many men of 70, although he stated that on
that day he was one hundred gears and s,r
months old. He was, We believe, soldier in
the Revolution, and was at the battle of Bran
dywine. He is and was always one of our most
respected citizens. His name vii! be seen in
the list of applicants for license in our adyer-
tising columns, and he says that he has kept
tavern uninterruptedly for period of serenity
years.

will be more than six thousand million dollars.
The interest alone upon that sum will be more
than three hundred and sixty million dollars
per annunl. Is it wise to continue system
fraught with such consequences There IS no
hope of escape but ia such an increase of duty
upon iron as to prevent the further Importation
of il. beg Senators to look on the map of
the United States and upon tho British and
Mexican territory, which must and will be en-
braced in our system of internal improvements.
/ do not mean that we are to annex Canada or
Mexico refer to them as a part of system
of improvement to be developed by American
labor and enterprise. would remind you that
our railroads are the product of American la
Dor; that if we manufacture our own iron, the
entire profits of the lobor and capital employed
in their construction will be ours aud beg
you to pause for moment aud look on the
magnitude of the Interest to be developed, and
the amount of capital to be created. If our
progress be in the same ratio for the next thirty
years that it has been for the last ten, our IN
vestment in railroads will be nearly or quite
equal TO the present value of the entire proper
ty of this country, aud the profit on the labor
of their construction will be thousands OF mil
lions of dollars.
In conclusion, beg to remind Southern Sen
ators that it is not Pennsylvania, nor is it a
northern question. 1t is question Of 'sgere-
raj welfare" 1t is not question between the
North aud the South as competing sections
1t is question between the North and the South
the East and the West, as parts of one single
interest, united as one people in competition
with other nations, as independent parts of a
system of international commerce. These great
elements of wealth, coal and iron, are not pecu-
liar TO Pennsylvania. They abound in most Of
the States. They are the gifts of a bountiful
aud all wise Providence; and it is the interest
and the duty of all the states to unite IN pro-
noting the end of their creation. In this union
of interests and this development of our resour-
ces, the conflict between the North and the
South will end in common sentiment of mu-
tual interest, and we will become, as it is our
interest and our duty we should be, a united
and prosperous people.
