Ihe Oonvletlon OF Gnmble.

The trial of George Gamble, late Bag
gage Master on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, for robbiug the mails while under
his charge last summer between this city
and Cumberland, was concluded yesterday
evening by verdict of equity" The
trial developed one of the most remarku-
BILE and interesting trains ofcircumstantial
evidence on record. The proofthroughout
was circumstantial, but SO connectedly and
naturally circumstautial that verdict
against the prisoner was inevitable.
OOe feature of special interest was the
identification, by means of expert persons
In hand writing, of the anonymous ICON
science) letter published yesterday with a
letter written over Gamble's signature.
The two letters, although one was at.
tempted to be disguised, bore such re-
markable similitude that the jury could
not doubt the common authorship of both.
1t is believed from the facts developed
on the trial that Gamble was only one of a
mail robbing conspiracy. 1t is thought
certain that he had partner or partners
The anonymous letter confessed to that
fact.
A singular circumstance connected with
the trial was that all the appliances made
use ofby Gamble to throw the investlga.
ton OF his track recOtled upon him, aud
more than all other evidence tended tc
produce his conviction.
The minimum senteuce of 1vhicb tho io1
admits is ten years imprisonment.

of appointing delegates to the Parkersburq

NaPOIeon's Letter to the SOvere1gns.
The Paris papers Of November II pub
lish the text of the letter of Napoleon in
viting the sovereigns to q European Con-
gress. The following passage occurs in
the letter:
We are threatened with danger so much the
more formidable because the improvement
effected by civilization, which has bound the
people together by an identity Of material in
tcrests would render war still more destruc-
tive. Let us not wait before taking our part,
for sudden and irresistible events to disturb
our judgment and draw us despite ourselves
into contrary direction. Called to the throne
by Providence and the will of the French peo-
pie, but trained in the school of ADVERSELY it
is perhaps less allowable for me than any other
to ignore the rights of sovereigns and the leg t.
innate aspirations of people. Thus am ready,
without precOnceived system, to enter an In
ternational Congress with the spirit of moder,.-
ton and justice ordinarily the portion OF those
who have endured SO many various trials. If
take the initiative in this overture l do not
yield to an impulse of vanity, but because am
a sovereign, the most credited with ambitious
projects, and have got it at heart TO prove by
frank and loyal step that my sole object is 70
arrive, without o shock, at the pacificatiOn of
Europe. IT this proposition be agreed to. I
pray you to accept Paris as the place Of meet
ing Europe would perhaps see some advan.
tage in the capital whence the signal for over
throw has so many times issued becoming the
seat of conferences destined to lay the basis of
general paciicatiOn.

pecuniary loss but their loss is nothing in
contrast with the sacrifice Of life which SO many
have made for their county. l have heard
shareholders here, who have at least $50, 900
In slave property, say, and have heard the
wealthiest planters of Mississippi say, they had
no tears to shed over the grave of slavery.
They say there is no use of crying for spilled
milk. This State is older than Iowa. But
slavery has kept you far behind Iowa. You
have as opulent resources AMI as salubrious
climate as State could wish, and, with free
labor and free schools, your future career may
be bright and glorious. l think men who are
prudent and sagacious will act on the theory
henceforward that free labor and free schools
will take the place of slavery in Arkansas.
CONCLUSION.
Citizens of Arkansas! consider the extra
ordinary era in which you live. Your State,
yourselves, your acts, will be canvassed in his
tory, and judged by your posterity. They will
ask were you wise? were you bold ? were you
patriotic? Be equal then to the times. Be
stirring as the times. Rise to the events
around you. 1t is no emper0rs nod which is
shaping the destinies of this nation. 1t is the
awful voice of an aroused and mighty people,
insisting that there shall be no backward steps
in American civilization.
And to you, gallant and noble soldiers, let
me say, do as you have done. The grace and
renown of this age will be reflected in the en-
lightened and heroic conduct of our Union
armies. Put on Industrious soldiership. Con-
tinue patient and courageous. The blood shed
in rs was shed for us and for the future. You
are fighting not for those only who live in this
generation, but for those who shall come after
you. As you perform the drudgery of the
camp; as you stand out on guard in nights of
storm as your limbs ache in the long march,
let this thought warm the blood in your veins,
and kindle fresh ardor in your souls. that you
all, Al. &c
country, but are saving what others in the
past have struggled and died for; and that
your services will bless and receive the praise
of generations yet unborn.

Railroad on the Brain.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
They have got railroad on the brain
badly at st: Paul. To illustrate, a CORES
pondent of the St. Paul Press dwells
rather grandiloquently upon the large
number of railroads which they are going
to have at that place, describing them as
follows:
Our seven railroads will then be-: first. the
St Paul and Pacific, the main line between the
Minnesota and Mississippi rivers second the
branch line of the st. Paul and Pacific, north
OF the Mississippi river; third, the Superior
and Mississippi; fourth, the Cedar Valley
fifth, the Minnesota Valley sixth, a branch Of
the Tomah and st. Croix from Prescott sew
enth, the Winona and St. Paul; and there Is
even considerable probability that an eighth
will be built, viz: from st. Paul via Hudson to
Bayfield,.
We admire the hopeful degree of conf
dence that pervades the breast of this St.
Pauler, but we fear it will be long while
before all his anticipations become real
lied.
