At dinner, when ill the bOarders were
present. she thus accosted him:
"Mr. -. request you to leave the

OF all the ills that affict men and women, few
are so agonzing as Dyspepsia. 1t is a sort Of
combination Of many diseases. What is still
more unfortunate is, that the treatment Of the
malady is not generally understood. Tue medi-
oines usually taken do no sort OF good whatever.
Thanks to science and DR. GREELEY, q specific
has now been obtained. GREELRY's BOURBON

once begin cure. Thousands of we'll. attested

The evidence having been concluded, Mr..

The evidence having been concluded, Mr..
Dsvidge, on the part of the defence, proposed
to submit the case without argument to which
Mr.. Ould, for the prosecution, s'a'ed that he
had no objection, II the court would explain to
the Jury such parts of the law in relation to
riots as we're applicable to this case.
The court then briefly explained to the Jury,
that riot was tumultuous disturbance Of the
public peace, whether the purpose intended to
be accomplished was lawful or unlawful. To
constitute riot, however, it was necessary that
the parties should act in concert, or what is
called by preconcert. II was immaterial wheth.
er the plan was arranged an hour or minute
before the sctual outbreak. 1t was just as much
. stipulated riot II It occurred without . mo-
msnts notice, - IL . contract had been ex
prossly signed to that effect.
The case was then given to the jury, who i'm.
mediately retired.
The case Of Elizabeth Msgruder, colored,
charged with stealing one revolver and twelve
shirts from Jesse B. Haw, was then taking up.
After hearing the evidence, the Jury rendered
. verdict Of not guilty, without leaving their
box. Bradley and Norris for the defence.
The court then adjourned.
The jury in the Wigwam case had not re-
turned when the court adjourned, and were
still out st late hour last night.

The accounts Of John Little, administrator
Of the late 8. J. Little and guardian Of Julia

involve over $4,000, and the court held them
for examination.
The Mcintyre will case was called, but on

1t is printed on a large Sheet q by AZ inches
and Is furnished at the low prices stated below
!, will contain all the original matter OF the

1t will contain all the news of the day, foreign

original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will re-
ceve special attention, and, in all respects, the
effort will be made to establish the character OF
the Republican Era as

In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the incoming Administration Of Mr.. Lin
coin, but disclsimiug, however, any pretensior
10 be the organ Of the President elect.
| There is no other Republican paper in tht
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it, and
II Is believed that recent events have opened tc
such paper an important sphere of useful ef.
fort. The time has come, when the actual ad.
ministration of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the Misrepresentation
which have made those principles SO distastefu
to the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity
hope to mako 1t useful. To the whole countr,
they offer journal which will discuss nstiona
politics from national standpoint, and which
wa never bs swerved from patriotic duty by an,
overpowering pressure Of local interest.

Prospectus of the National Republican

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party of the United States ought
TO be fairly represented iu the daily press of the
National Metropolis, we have embarked In the
enterprise of supplying the citizens Of the District
of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title of the "NArIoNAL REPUBLICAN"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the public
mind OF groundless prejudtces which have been
Sngendered against it, by the false accusations
OF its enemies Having the utmost confidence
that the administration of Mr. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield it Il cordial, but not a ssrvile support. In
tue great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies Of the Republican
party, the people OF Washington AMI the District
Of Columbia have more at stake than the people
OF any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity of the Federal Union, against the machiu-
ations of those who would rend it asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that it is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident, therefore, that in yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln a cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of IN immense
majority Of the people Of this District and vicin.
lty,
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican a mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news, it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published In this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity of the city, and to the advance
ment Of the moral and material welfare Of its
inhabitants.
I We deem it unnecessary, however to multi
ply promises, as the paper viii. Immediately make
its appearance, aud will then speak for itself
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week
Mail subscribers, $3.50 u year, payable in ad.
vance.

ana avenue and Second street.

ALEXANDRIA ITEMS.

From he Alexandria papers we CLEAN the
following:
The fishermen are overhauling their seines
preparatory to entering upon the spring busi-
ness. There have been small receipts Of shad
at the wharf for q week or so past, and on Sat-
urday last some 500 very fine ones were
brought up.
Immense aocks of geese and ducks were seen
yesterday evening flying down the river. This
sight is considered by the weather.wise as in.
dicative Of an approaching cold spell.
Col. Samuel Cooper, late Adjutant General
of the United States army, left this city on
Sunday for Montgomery, Ala.
On Sunday evening, Mr. B. Delphey and
lady went to church about u o'clock, leaving
their married daughter, Mrs. Fields, in back
room, the front door being unlocked, and the
gate not fastened. Upon returning from
church, they found the gate open, and when
they reached their chamber, on the second
floor, what was their horror to find everything
in confusion, showing unmistakably that they
had been robbed. small desk or box, which
had been used to keep money in, was opened
BY key which fitted perfectly, and which was
left lying on chair near by, and the contents,
consisting of between $500 and $500 in gold,
large cameo breastpin, . gold chain, and
several finger rings, were taken. A $40 coun.
terfeit note, lying upon the desk, in full view
was not taken, and the top of the desk had q
piece Clipped off, as if to create the impression
that it had been forced. These facts, in con
nection with other incidents, show most clearly
that the theft was committed by some one
thoroughly conversant with the family affairs.

Virginia Convention.

Richmond, March l2.-Mr. Summers made
powerful and effective speech three hours long,
to-day, rongly advocating the peace PROPOSE.
tions, and commenting upon each article in
turn. He urged such action as would meet
the views OF the whole State, and showed the
folly of passing an ordinance Of secession for
reference to divided people. He said that
Virginia ought first to command the peace on
all sides, then call Border State Conference,
with the peace propositions as an acceptable
basis of adjustment. The Convention should
then adjourn over, and await the result. He
had full confidence Of an eventual restoration
ofeunion md harmony. Ex.President Tyler
replies tomorrow.
