4 CURIOUS TRIAL The Philadelphia pa
pers report curious trial which has Just
been held in that city. The Ledger says
Euos Prizer and Henry T Darlingto pro-
priet@rs OF the Bucks County 1Dteliigencer,
were put on trial in the Quarter Sessions be-
fore Judge Allison, on & charge Of libel The
prosecutor was Henry Black. resident Of
that city, but formerly OF Bucks county, and
he complained that the defendants had, on
the Esd of April last, published an articte
giving the state of feeling in the county IN
regard TO the attack upon Fort Sumter, and
after narrating some of the incidents attend
ing the uprising OF the people, the article re-
ferred TO Mr.. Black, and con tinued "This
man undertook TO defend Secessinnism among
n crowd of people, at Sixth and Germantown
Road, Philadei pnia, when he was seized by
the oystanders, rope pat abou. his neck, and
he was nearly strangled by their violence. It
is said that the arteries OF his neck were laid
open by tie rough treatment he received"
The case occupied the entire day in its trial,
and was given to the jury late in the after
noon. Judge Allison, in charging the jury,
said it was proper matter of publication 10

that the community may be on their guard.

the article, anu that IL was published without
malicious motives, and the defendants, If
hey proved substantially the truth of The arti
Gle, they are entitled TO an acquittal. If it
was true that Henry Black had avowed hi n
self a Secessionist, and therefore traitor, the
defendants had the right to publish the fact
Aud In regar'i to the other clause, that the
prosecutor had been treated with violence, i;
was for the jury to say whether that was mol
calculated to hold him up to public scOrn.-
The defence, III setting up the truth Of the
article, must cover all the material facts
charged against the prosecutor.

Firing was recon menced yesterday against

We're fired, of course doing no damage.

en- Wednesday night an attempt had been

prepared for an engagement, and doubtless

the news is TOO good TO be true

This ne VS. reached US through a private let

Another Instance of the con temptble spirit
of the troops at Old Point lately came to our
notice, and from the source we gathered it,
NAV be relied upon.
These Lincoln r3scals went to a lady's house
in Hampton, when she was absent, took from
her number OF beaut pictures, her crock
cry ware, and many articles Of value and
smash ed them in pieces. Not content with
this, they took large feather bed, cut it all
to rags and scattered the eaLhers in all direc-
tions. We cannot conceive how the hearts
OF these men are SO prone to commit such
depfedations upon peaceful, unoffending peoe
pie ButsUch are their natures-such are tn.
men, the ruffians, we ara TO fight. Vile and
despicaole fanatics arIayed against Sou thern

Of young men between the ages of fifteen and

CIvILTY Is A FoRTuSE -Civility is fortune
itself, for courteous man always succeeds
we'll in life, and that even when persons OF
ability sometimes fall. The famous Duke of
Marlborough Is q case in point 1t was said
Of him by one cotempoIary, that his agreeable
manners often converted an enemy into a
friend and by another, that it was more
pleasing to be denied a favor by his grace, than
to receive one from another man. The gra-
cious manner Of Charles James Fox preserved
him from personal dislikes, even at the time
when he was, politically, the most unpopular
man in the kingdom The history of the world
is full Of such examples of success obtained
by civility The experience Of every man
furnishes if we but recall the past, frequent
instances where conciliatcry manners have
made the fortunes of physicians, lawyers, di.
vines, poll ticians, merchants. and indeed, in
dividuals OF ali pursuits. To men, civiiity is
what esuty is to women; it Is q general pass
port to favor, letter of introduction, writ ten
in language that every one understands. Ol

tsous one has twice the chance for for tune.
