FEDERAL Court.

Federal Court is once mOro in session in
this city, having recognized yesterday
Judge Jackson presiding. The Judge de-
livered his charge to the Grand Jury yes
terday, aud before many days We suppose
some of the traitors hereabouts will be in
fair way to get their rights" The
charge, which is very able one, will not
DO published at present. "A brief synopsis
however, will be found in our local column
this morning.
Now that our traitorous Judges and
Marshalls have all ran away aud Joined
tho rebellion, it would seem that Western
Virginia is coming to. We hopethe Conrt
will not uiuee matters, but will be con.
Quoted, us the Judge says it shall be, vig-
orOusly and in accordance with strict con-
attractions Of law. Let this be done and
much good will be tho result.

wARRExrox, Sept 8, 1861.
Editors InteLliqeueer:-It may not be un-
interesting for you to know of an amusing
panic which seized the secessionists OF
Short Greek neighborhood, Brooke county,
a few evenings since; occasiOned by the
presence of a steamboat mooring up near
the mouth Of the creek for low water
The steamboat Altamont passed down du-
ring the day, and being unable TO get over
the bar at the Twins, it came back and
landed to await more water. AT the time
the boatmen were securing their craft
some six seeessionists were seated on the
porch of Trimble's tavern, talking over the
troubles of the country, and expressing
their confidence of the ultimate success OF
JEFF. Davis & Co., when suddenly mem
Der of the cOnclaye suggested the idea that
the presence of said boat might have some
thing to do with visit from the Snake
Hunters.
The suggestion was enough. Mounting
their horses away they scampered, and
communicating the intelligence to their
friends of the same persuasion, by night
fall all of the Secessionists within miles
of the river were on the quivlye expecting
a visit from the "snakers," with all of its
terrors. The Union men of
the neighboThood avow that not "se-
cesher" within six or eight miles of the
river went to ''roost' that night, and many
left home. The Union men here generally
have been merry over this stampede and
deem it fair disqualification of the Scrip
tural saying, that the wicked fee when
none pursue. EX-SENATOR

Tnn story that tie forts At HAtteras In
let surrendered for lack Of ammunition
q evidently erroneous. The captors found
large stores of ammunition there. The
guns Of the forts were not equal to those
Of the feet in range; and 1t was evident,
when the enemy surrendered, that the
place could not hold out much longer. A
further resistance would have only caused
gneedless loss Of life.

Certainly nothing else conceivable could

The case was desperate Onound demands

of martial law will bring the guerrillas of

with submitted.

entries at these two offices, are here.
with returned, and l suggest, that Won
cause a re-eXamination of them to he
made. Many of the entries appear IN
have been allowed, on proof Of a sin.
gle witness, of a settlement commenced
only u few days before the entries vera
made. The improvements mentioned
are of a trifing character, and, Of
course, no dcclaratory statements arc
filed. The precipitancy of the entrv
after settlement, leaves no time for cuj.
tivation or substantial improvement.
Other circumstances also indicate fraud.
Much of the land thus entered, infer
has V been offered at public sale.
aid the apparent result of these short
prescriptions is such as the law forbids.
riz: the sale of public land at private
entry, before it has been offered at pub.
lie sale. *******
The allowance of presumption, where
there has not been il bona .6Ae settle
ment and cultivation, evidently iniures
the prosperity of new communities,
whilst Il proper administration of the
presumption laws promotes their pros.
pcrity.
When unoffcred land that is sur
vcyed is claimed by presumption, the
law requires a d%cclaratory statement to
be filed within three months after set
Element; and !, therefore. am of the
opinion that an entry Of the land is not
contemplated till after thethrcc mouths
expire, unless it is proclaimed to be of.
tered at public sale before the three
months have elapsed. If, therefore, on
the denomination of the entries now
returned to you, it is found that the set
Elements were not made three months
or more before the entries, and Il pub
lie sale has not been proclaimed by
which the three months may have been
cut short, such cases should be sent
back to the local office for report, after
notice to claimants to show the bona
th of their settlements, and the cquit-
able grounds on which they rely for
confirmation of their entrics****.

To Be. or not to Be.

Should the alternative to Which this
Government is fast hastcning-com-
promise or anarchy and d~cspotism
dc presented to any loyal American,
though he may be of the most ultra of
either faction, if he be governed by
reason, it would be an easy task for
him to choose. The time has arrived
when concessions must be made to hold
this fabric together. The Union must
be preserved as it is. or Il chapter of
anarchy, bloodslled and ruin cntailcd
upon us without a parallel in history.
Two confcdcracics with interests as di-
verse as those of the North and South.
could never exist in harmony. Grant
ing that confederation of the Southern
States might dc formed without immc-
date bloodshed, it would but delay the
dire calamity. The Border States would
be the immediate sufferers. Without
a law for the arrest of the fugitive slave,
and in their close proximity to the aboli-
tionists of the North, either slavery
would soon cease to exist within their
confines, or var would as cncvitably re-
suit.
We, then, as Union-loving citizens
of this great Republic, W it to our
selves, to our country, and to postcrity,
to agree to any honorable and fair COM
promise by which the Union may be
perpctuatcd. This is not the proper
time for a strict adherence to party lines
and party measures. We must con-
cedc that the people of the South are
as earnest and sincere in their convic-
tons as we ourselves.
A step has already been made in the
proper direction in several of the North
ern States, in the repeal of their Per-
sonal Liberty Laws. This shows ads
position to meet the exigcncies which
have arisen with Cancellation and mild
ness. But this, farther than the spirit
manifested in their repeal, amounts to
but little. We must look for an adj
justmcnt ofthc Territorial Question by
the Union Convcntion-somc COM
promise that will conciliatc both North
and South. The proposals of adjust
ment which have come to our knowl-
edge are fraught with serious objections
yet it may be our duty to accept. The
spirit of patriotism should rise superior
to every emotion.
