The Tr1bune,s Persecution OF the Chi
caEO Times.
Editor Chicago Tribune:
Nil DEAR SIR: have been very much pain !
ed and mortified to witness the uncharitable /
spirit which you have exhibited towards the |
editor Of the " Chicago Times" You talk and |
write shout hin "a if he WAS as bad traitor |
as there is in Chicago. Now, Sir, do you not |
believe that the editor Of the ts Chicago 77nsss'
Is patriot? I do most fully believe that he |
is, and that he loves his country. And for
him TO be charged with secession sentiments |
in this day Of danger to the Republic, is most
into1e1able!
Nov sir, venture the assertion that you
cannot find an editor more faithful in defend
ing his country than the editor OF the - CHI
eu9o 1fmes!'" The only question is, what
and where Is his countrYs take the ground,
that the country which be now lives in, is not
bis own country. He is not at home here.
He does not belong In Illinois, or In any OF the
Northern States! secessia is his proper home.
"The1e his best friends,-his kindred dwell"
He is an alien and q stranger here, and eei-
IDENTIFY is not happy. What a pity that he
should be thus Imprisoned In this atmosphere
Of fres labor, and deprived Of the associations
so congenial to his spirit. He should arise
and 20 to his master JET, who will receive
him with open arms, for the importan. dre-in-
the rear service he has performed for the
secession cause.
| Yours In pity for the Jefate.

FRIDAY EVENING, July IS, 1852.
The market for gold to-day has been decidedly
"panicy." The buying price opened at yester-
days figures vaz.: 16 per cent premium, but pr1~
vate dispatches and the report OF the first New
York stock board, knocked the market completely
into ''pl'' Some dispatches during the day gave
the figure IS low as 1a In New York, but the only
reliable one we could get vas 147l. Brokers here
bought st all eorts Of figures. varying from 10 to Is
per cent. The more usual figures were about 1a9
IS. During noet Of the day holders at yesterdays
figures were decidedly blue, bnt at the cloEe when
dispatches reported that the n. r stock board
had closed at 1e58, they felt better. The fact
is our brokers |have been following the Wall
etreet figures too closely for their own good. For
weeks past coin has been rapidly flowing to that
centre OF mammon, and the amount nov piled up
there must be ENORMOUS.
The causes which in our Judgment have pro-
duced the decline, and the lessons that ahould be
learned from it are discussed In another place In
tLis paper.
New York exchange continues rather close and
moet Of the leading houses are charging 4 and
make no concessions even to customers on round
lots from that figure The buying price is pa13
II. with tendency to the upper figure.
The brokers to day pay 5G5K for old Treasury
notes.

Another objection Is, that In order to be prac-

structed many times larger than the one pro-
posed By Mr. McDermott~ Take such 3 rain
as visited this city on Friday Of last week for
falling over q space two miles square, and it

consequence would be that every cellar and

our city. Tie same trouble would be likely to
happen upon the breaking ofany portion ofthe
machinery which would necessisate the stop.
objections might be raised, but enough has
been said to show the utter rfmpracticabflity oi
the scheme. Other schemes have been de-
vised which upon examination are liable tC
grave objections.

ry under Maj. White, about 395 strong, made
raid into Poolesville, Md. They found there
30 men of Col. SCOTS 900, quartered in

TIERS ABOUT TOWN.
Supreme Judicial Court.

CRIMINAL TERM.-Fox, j., PRESIDING.
MoNDAY.-In the case of Joseph w. Lamb
indicted for arson, in setting fire to the barn
of S. M. Baker, Esq, in Windham, the jury
returned verdict of guilty. His counsel,
Messrs. Howard & Strout, then filed a motion
for the arrest of judgment on the grounds
1st-That the Indictment is bad, for duplici-
ty in setting forth and charging several sepa-
rate and distinct ofienses; not oil the same
class or nature in character.
2d-Because the verdict of guilty is gener-
al upon all the counts in said indictment:
while the first and second counts are defective
and insufficient in law to authorize any judg-
ment to be rendered thereon-because in nei-
Their of said two counts is it alleged that the
dwelling house within the curtage of which
the barn, alleged to have been burnt, was stu
ated, and, by the burning of which barn in the
night time, it was alleged that said house was
endangered) was occupied by any person, at
the time of such alleged burning of said barn.
3d-Because neither of the counts in said
indictment are good and sufficient in law.
A motion for a new trial was also filed, on
tee ground that the verdict was against law
and the instructions of the Court; and because
1t was against the evidence and the weight of
evidence in the case.
Saturday, January Sd, was assigned as the
time for hearing on these motions. The
prisoner was required to furnish sureties in
the sum of $1,000 for his appearance them
Court then adjourned to o'clock Tuesday
morning, at which time Judge Davis will come
in and finish the business of the present term
The second jury has been discharged. There
is case of adultery to come before the first
jury.
Judge Fox left yesterday for Norridgewock,
to hold the term fpr Somerset County. He
has dispatched business with great rapdity in
this, his first appearance on the bench in Cum
berland County, and has given satisfaction to
the members Of the bar who have been engag-
ed before him,while, at the same time, he has
evinced the disposition, as far as lies in his
power, to protect the community from thieves
and scoundrels.
