The War among the Jnstces--Court VS..
Court.

trial was progressing, yesterday, of a
somewhat peculiar character We could not
precisely get at the merits of it, bat the
salient points are these
Justice Alison, on Bear River, issued a war
rant for the arrest of Joel Stoddard for ma
icious mischief, the charge being made, so
far as we could learn, by man with whom
Stoddard had had numerous litigations re-
specting property. Meantime, Stoddard was
being tried in the court of Justice Cannon, nt
McDonald's Min, for the same olfense The
Constable came right into Cannon's court and
proceeded to execute his warrant Cannon
demurred and claimed jurisdiction and custo-
dy of the prisoner. Much loud talking and
considerable threatening occurred on both
sides, Stoddard refusing to be taken by Ali
sons constable and throwing himself back on
his reserved rights So the affair ended
But, subsequently Justice Alison issued war
rants for the arrest Of Justice Cannon and Mr.
Mcdonald, who had taken sides with Cannon
In the late contest, charging them with re-.
sistance of civil process or something of that
sort against the peace and dignity, etc. The
parties acquiesced, we believe, in the arrest :;
at any rate they appeared in Justice Alison S
court, and applied for a change of venue to
Marysville, which application was granted,
and the case came before Justice Merritt, yes
terday. Justice Alison, Justice Cannon, and
perhaps the Constables Of each, were in court
har with ,r.itp H., Al
gressed, with General Rowe for the prosecu-
ton and Charley Hubbard for the defense
They had gotten through with the testimony
of Mr. Asken, an aged gentleman somewhat
precise in his language and inclined to John
sonian phrases, and who is the author of an
unfinished history Of Bear River, hereafter to
be published, and Charley Hubbard had
ended an argument on motion to discharge
defendants, which was denied, and General
Rowe had moved TO bring in new witnesses
to prove certain points which Hubbard had
shown were not proven, which move of Gen.
Rowe's was allowed, when we took up our
hat and left there being no prospect of ter
mination of the case for some time to come.
We confess we have no earthly idea how
such a case ought to be decided. it being
conflict between Court and Court, but we
rather think that one Justice could hardly
order prisoner to be taken from the custody
Of another, when each one was claiming him
for trial on precisely the same charge There
is some fun in the case anyhow, had we time
TO report it.

DREAMS OF THE DIsuSIoxIsrs.- Ken
dali in late letter on the secession move
ment says:
ALREADY the men who expect to lead in
the Southern Confederacy have declared
themselves in favor of re-opening the Afri-
can slave trade. They have no hope of the
accomplishment of that object so long as their
respective States constitute a portion of the
present Confederacy. But should new
Contederacy composed of the cotton States
be established, undoubtedly one of their first
acts would be to legalize the African slave
trade. Its immediate effect would be to de-
pricate the value of slaves more than fifty
per cent. throughout all the slaveholding
States; for while the cost of a good hand
from Virginia in the cotton States is not less
than $1,000 able hands brought direct from
Africa under an unrestricted lave trade can
soon be purchased for 5000. And if the
Southern Confederacy should then conquer
Mexico and annex Cuba, what a magnificent
empire it will become"

is a sweet-yoiced singer, and has sort of
quiet popularity which is none the less strong

WooD.-A couple of horses, drawing load
of wood. arriving opposite DR.. Thompsons
office on D street, refused to bulge any
further. All efforts to make them proceed
were unavailing. Whether they thought Dr.
Thompson was entitled to the load of wood
and they were determined he should have it,
or whether they got disgusted with pulling
through the mud of d street, Just at that
point, we can't say. Finally they broke
like couple of devils, with alternate Jerks,
and got loose from the wagon. AS soon as
this was dene they stopped, and what was
the final result we don't know for, just at
that moment we left.

How MUCH LEAD IT TAKES TO KILL Sol
DIEh-One hundred years ago, Marshal Sake
said that to kill q soldier, it requires his
weight in lead This result, which appears
strange, was fully confirmed at the battle of
Solferino.
From the most reliable information that
can be obtained, the Austrian army fired s.
100000 shots. The loss ofthe French army is
estimated at 1000 killed, and 10, 900 wound
ed. The proportion, therefore, was 700 shots
for every man hit; and for every man killed
it was 4,200 shots, Each bullet averaging
one ounce in weight, it took, therefore, 252
pounds of lead for every man killed-show-
ing that the Marshal's estimate, instead ofbe-
ing extravagant, was below the mark.

VOICE FROM ARKANsAs.---In these times o.
secession. and "Indepen1ent Republic" move
ments, says writer in the Nevada Trans
script, an evidence of attachment to our IN
ion, is traly refreshing. Especially is it SO,
when coming from q sectiono or State which
has heretofore been characterized for blood
thirstiness and hot-headed. revenge, rather
than for cool reflection, in times OF excite
ment ike the present. 1t is therefore with
no ordinary pleasure that we chronicle the
following, copied from a letter received re-
Gently by citizen of our place, showing the
strong Union sentiment in Arkansas, and the
almost absolute want of sympathy among
her citizens, with the headlong course pursued
by South Carolina:
"a few DAYS since, after a parade of post
ers DC, calling the citizens together, to ini-
tiate such measures as might be necessary to
preserve the rights of the South, some three
hundred assembled at Camden, in pursuance
to the call. The assemblage was addressed
by Col. Lyon, who, when he had concluded
put proposition something like this: All
who favor secession, and sympathlse with
South Carolina, and are in favor of organic
ing companies of minute men to assist her if
necessary, are requested to march to the
right--and all those who are willing to con-
tinue in the Union and submit to the Presi-
dency of Abe. Lincoln, will pass to the left. ,
Strange as it may appear to one outside of our
State, only four marched to the secession side,
while the remainder, near three hundred in
number, simultaneously moeod to the side of
the Union This think may be regarded
as a fair criterion by which to judge of the
Union sentiment in Arkansas"

ishing town of about fifteen hundred or two
thousand inhabitants, situated at the head of
