Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1861-04-19

Here is specimen of impartial adnlinistra-
ton, AMI a beginning of irregular exercise Of
auth GRITTY. Truly, the South is almost under
the iron heel Of despotism and need be sur
prised at no extravagancc Of the political
masters OF affairs. Prominent men of his
own party admit that he has ovcrstepped the
limits of law in the oath demanded of the
military, and in the call for militia; but they
say necessity warrants his action. Behold the
first fruits of centralized power, and the dis
regard of the essential axiom of our republic
the States haze rights.
Win Msrylanders endorse these assump-
tions-support such conduct, and respond to
his calf Are we not sufficiently enslaved to
one-man power, in Hicks, who thinks he is
the State, and can speak and act for her in
the most momentous conjuncture Of affairs
that ever occurred 2 Let no man heed the call
of the great incapable in Washington, more
than the passing wind, and let all men pray
Heaven to save us and the State from Hicks
and the consequences of his ignorance and
folly. At present, We can only wait and
watch ovents-while holding ourselves in
readiness to do whatever will be required in
defense of States' rights against-the centraliz-
ing despotism OF Republican rule at Wash
ington.
MURDER Cash. the criminal court Of the
District of Columbia, on the 4th instant the
trial of James Foley, soldier indicted for the
killing Of Michael Murphy, his comrade, on
the 9th Of February, was commenced and oc-
cuped the attention Of the court for several
days
The defence was conducted by Mcssrs.
Robert G. Thrift and John Il. Norris, and the
prosecution by Mcssrs. Ould and Page
The plea of the defence was, that the prison
er was laboring nnder an attack of mania a
potu or deirium tremcns, at the time Of the al
legged killing. Mr.. 0uld attorney for the
United States, addressed the jury at length,
and was replied to by Mr. Thrift, on behalf of
the prisoner, in speech ofabout three hours
duration, Of great power and eloquence, in
which he reviewed tie facts and circumstances
constituting and surrounding the case, and
the law applicable thereto and was followed
by Mr.. Norris, on the same SIDE, in speech Of
signal ability.
The case having been closed, the jury re-
tired, and after the lapse of several hours, re-
turned verdict fguilty as indicted. Where
upon his counsel moved the court for new
trial, and took bills Of exceptions to several
of the instructions of the court to the Jury
which exceptions will be argued before the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
District of Columbia, at the May Term.

it, are speculations that cannot be an
swered just at present, inasmuch as he
took occasion to make very long and rapid
tracks for the nearest wood before he could
be interrogated. Some ten or fifteen of
our most experienced huntsmen gave chase
the following morning, but were unable to
get "bead" on the animal, owing to the
fact, no doubt, that Bruin did not feel
disposed to be made game of SO early in
the season. The near approach CT wild
animals to the habitations of man in the
fall is said to be sure indication Of a
coming hard winter.
MAN SHoT-We learn from the Blairs-
vile papers that John Devinney, Jr., of
that place, was shot and dangerously woun-
ded by some rebels in Western Virginia,
a couple of weeks since. Mr.. d. ha6 an
interest in some oil wells in that section,
and was attending to business connected
Herewith at the time. 1t appears that he
fell in company with some Secessionists,
and being Union man himself, gave ut
terance to Union sentiments whereupon,
one of the rufians drew a pistol and de-
hberately fired upon him. The ball took
effect below the left shoulder and passed
out near the breast. At latest accounts he
was doing well, and was expected to re-
cover
SOMETHING LIKE SHAKE.-We are
given to understand that some of the
Johnstown folks who attended our County
Fair represent it to have been "no great
shakes" This is ridiculous mistake
The exhibition was a particularly Fair
shake, in as much as it shook five hun
dred dollars, more or less, from the pock-
cts of visitors into the Golfers of the Soci-
ETY.. This, We may append, is the sort of
shake that affects most pleasantly. Can
it yes, it must have been-that the
only article that attracted the favorable
attention of the aforesaid "JohnstOwn
folks" was the display of Sour Grapes

WHAT SHOULD BE DoNE.-Every
young man not engaged il the service of
the country, should strive with all possible
dispatch to prepare himself for usefulness

"HE WEEKLY PRESS.

THE WEEKLY PRESS has been established
on a secure and permanent foundation; but it
is, in reality, a marvellous example of the de-
gree of favor which rightly-conducted LIT
ERARY, POLITICAL AND NEWS JOURNAL
can receive at the hands of liberal and en-
lghtened Public.
The general features of the Paper, in addi-

NETS, will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOG-
RAPHY and Original and Selected TALES,
chosen for their lessons of Life, illustrations
of History, depicture of Manners, and general
merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the
tastes of both sexes and all ages.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally
acknowledged to be of an elevated stamp,
shall not only maintain its present high STAN

valuable contributions from able Writers.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS need not be enlar-

PEOPLE against Executive Usurpation and
Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation ever de-

that the intelligence and patriotism of our
Citizens will always be preservative of just,
