efficient Chief Engineer, G. w. r. Bayley, by the
exertions they make use of to further the compile

The Greensburg Imperial Of Saturday last says !:
| The weather for the last three or four weeks has

which the corn crops of this vicinity has been very
seriously injured, and 1t is supposed among the

Nixon and Donnell together at the time of the
shooting.
The above was the substance of the direct testi-
mony in behalf of the accused parties. Consider
able other testimony was given to impeaeh the
testimony for tho State. Sergeant Brooks and
Israel Gibbons swore that they got to where Gill
was lying, very soon after the firing. 1t was SO
dark that candle had to be lit to recognize him.
Torches were burning around at the time. Glib
bons could not identity Carley in Court as the one
who told him. just after the shooting, that he was
in the carriage on the same seat with Henry, and
saw the shooting, but could not tell who it was.
Gibbons stated that the reason he did not identify
Carley as the man who spoke to him was, that it
was too dark to see his face closely when he spoke
to him; but he had every reason to believe that
the man was Carley. As he failed to identify Car
ley in Court, his testimony on this point was ruled
out. Sergeant Brooks heard the same man that

darkness at the time prevented him from seeing
him closely enough to identify him in Cour

virginia Democracy In Convention.

NlrGin1u Democracy IN CouNeutlou'
The eirrepressible corhicl" ragged terri6Oal-
" in the Virginia Democratic State COnven'
tion. Wise or Hunter for the Presidency was
the bone of contention, and the final result
seems to have been drawn battle. The rows
were so numerous and determined, that althO'
the Wise party clearly had majority in Con-
yention, no definite action was taken in regard
TO Presidential preferences Aiter two days
fight, the Convention adjourned, having first
adopted q resolution to support the nominee of
the Charleston Convention. The majority also
favored Southern Conference as proposed by
South Carolina, which shows the prepOndsr-
enee Of the Wise element
A mass meeting was held after the COnven>
ton adjourned, which fully endorsed the South
CarOHna treason. The meeting was addressed
by Gen. Starke, Commissioner from Mississippi
to Virginia The spirit of his speech was that
the South would not 90 out of the Union, but
if not protected BY Federal authority, she
would seize the Federal property within her
limits and defend herself. The rebellious in
teutiOn was received with great cheering by
the Virginia Democracy. This is now the fire.
eating programme favored by the Administra-
iiOu. which is sending arms and ammunition
from Northern arsensls to Southern in unusual
quantities.
The Tribuno's Washington despatch states
that the Democratic Convention at Richmond
is regarded at Washington as q mass meeting,
and of no political importance. Mr.. Hunter
will have the Virginia delegation to Charleston
solid The Gazetts's dispatch says;
Reports differ as 70 the relative strength Of
Wise and Hunter in the late Virgins COnven-
ton. The friends Of the two candidates each
claim to have been ahead, so that the true con
dition of things cannot be sscertained until the
choice of delegates in the different CongressiOn-
al districts is had.

President nIaEiag In washlnrron.

Washington is the focus of politicians, and
of course of wire working among party mana
gers. !. The correspondent of the Ohio State
Journal on the 10th INDUCES in the following
speculations from that standpoint:
President making is now the great business
of certain politicians in Washington. Seward
has many supporters, but not so many as an
outsider would suppose, and not SO many as he
has among the people. Chase is a favorite
among Western men, and also among very ma
ny from the East. Cameron / do not think
makes any headway here, however it may be in
Pennsylvania Banks has foothold in two
or three New England States, and no where
else, The Bates fever is subsiding here, if not
elsewhere, and the men who were for Bates are
now for Judge Mclean, with a strong man on
the ticket for Vice President in case Of the
Presidents decease before the expiration of his
tenn of office. Mclean and Clay have been
spoken Of by some of the Presidential specula
tors. Mr.. Greely is understood to favor the
Fremont ticket over again, but the idea obtains
no favor here, though il may among the people.
Gov. Chase numbers very strong supporters
here, and it is q very noticeable fact that those
who number themselves as his adherents are
men of principle and intellect and who seem to
appreciate the crisis which is upon US.
In the Democratic ranks Mr.. Douglas is
walking rapidly into the affections ofthe South
en disunionists, since he has taken so Jealous
ly to dirt-eating. He and his friends are very
certain of his nomination at Charleston, and
are now laying pipe extensively. 1t is said
that an agent of Mr.. D. is now in Washington
with 100000 in his pocket to influence public
opinion in favor of Douglas. Alex. Stephens
is a powerful rival of Mr.. DOuglas-sO is Guth>
rie, of Kentucky. Seymour, of New York,
another, and Breckinridge, is not far behind
The 23rd of April will tell the stOry-aDd We
we must wait till then.
