ESy James Hockenbury was tried In the
Court of Oyer and Terminer of Clearfeld Co.,
last week, for the murder of JohE Thompson
better known rs devil John Thompson, on
the 5th of last April. The RepuUicas says:
a number Of witnesses were examined for
the prosecution, all of whom agreed in the
leading incidents of the transaction; 10 wit:
That the parties came down on RATS and
landing at Lumber city, met at the hotel of
Mr.. Davis; that an alteration growing out of
quarrel of some standing took place between
them; that Thompson used violent, and high
ly abusing language to Hockenbery; that he
dared him to shoot; that be advanced towards
him and threatened to kick and otherwise Ill
treat him; that Hockenbury, at the time, had
gun in his hand which he obtained at Da-
vis's tavern, that he examined the lock and
cap; that when Thompson approached close to
him using violent language, Hockenberry re-
treated into the door of the bar-room, still
having the gun in his hands. Thompson as
hs came close to the door, turned his face to
the left and towards Curby's hotel, having
his side towards the door fDavis's bar-room;
that Hockenberry having the gun pointed to-
wards Thompson with the muzzle about three
| feet from him, it went off in his hands; and
that Thompson clapped his hand to his side,
| exclaimed he was shot, reeled short distaD Dce
off the porch. and expired as he fell into the
arms of Henry Darr. The witnesses, or at
least several of them testified to Hockenberry
having made an exclamation. saying "take
that and let folks alone" shortly after the gun
went off. The examination showed Thomp-
sons body to have been pierced by rifle ball.
although none of the witnesses knew the gun
to have been loaded with ball Other tcsti-
mony showed threats made by Hockenberry
to others that if Thompson did not quit abu-
sing him, he would shoot him.
The Jury rendered verdict of Guilty Of
Murder in the second degree" The prison
er was then sentenced to undergo an impris-
onment in the Penitentiary, for the term and
period of four years. Thompson was vel

A ReE.like-

The refusal of Governor Fitzpatrick to ac-
cept the nomination for Vice President from
the Disunionists, was a whitening rebuke to
them. In their dismay, committee of some
kind got together, and nominated Herschell
V. johnson of Georgia. Do the Douglas
men believe that committee has the power
to select the standard bearers of the party?-
Is not that power vested in the National Con-
vention, and in it alone? If Douglas should
withdraw, we presume the Same committee
would nominate candidate for President,

And at the shrine of woman knelt
As fervently as man may kneel
But thrice this heart hath been betrayed

High hopes that plead for life in vain;

The tyrant Love should cease to reign
And Peace, the beautiful, tue blest,

And Richard is himself againi

Railroad Company held meeting at Frank
lin on Tuesday, to consider the necessity fol
extending their road to connection with th
Mobile and Ohio and the New Orleans, Jack
son and Great Northern roads. Many friend
of the extension from the counties south q
Maury were at the meeting, aud spoke Ell
couragingly of the project. There is u,
doubt that The people along the line OF THU
road are becoming thoroughly convinced
and aroused to the necessity for 1t. Nash
Vile too, is deeply interested in this grca
work, and we hope our men OF capital will
aid it all il their power.
The proposed extension will be, we learn.
about S7a miles, and require 100000 10
grade il. OF this amount the Tennessee &
Alabama Company agree to subscribe $780,
900. Surely the remaining 100000 can be
raised in the counties along the line and else
where.
1t should give our city much pleasure to
know that we are to have a thoroughtare
directly communicating with the fertile
South, and Offering the shortest route between
the Ohio aud Mississippi Valleys and the Gull
of Mexico that can be made.
The Tennessee & Alabama Company re-
feet great credit on themselves by their will
linguess to aid in its construction. But to
no one will the public be Indebted more foI
the success of the enterprise than to Mr..
JONATHAN NORRIS, the patient aud indefati-
gable member of the last Legislature from
Wayne county. Through his endeavOrs this
project arose 10 responsibility and a success

speed. What say our New Orleans and Mo
