DECISION IL THB CASE OF COLONEL WILEY .
Colonel w. J. Wiley, brother of Senator
Wiley of West Virginia, was tried last week
at Paramount for bridge burning. He was in
dicted, says the Iedette, for violation of a
law of the State making it felony TO burn
bridges of a certain description.
"IIe filed a plea. stating that 1T the time of
the commission of the offence n war was
being waged between the Government of the
United States and persons i'll rebellion against
il, under the name of the Confederate States ;
that he was an officer III the rebel army; that
he burned the bridge by order of his COM
manding officer; that the act was an act OF
war, done in prosecution of the rebellion
and that for it, since it was done. the Presl-
dent had pardoned him. The Attorney Tor
the State demurred to the plea, and the Court
held that for an act of war committed by a
soldier of the late rebel army under the order
of his commanding officer, and in accordance
with the usages of war, the parlon OF the
President is a bar TO prosecution oil the
soldier in State court for the same act, rs
a violation of the State law
Colonel Wiley is we'll known i'll Richmond,
where he was employed during the war i'll the
service of the Confederate States.

Liida Cbrn. It's Idius. culture, and Uses By
EDWARD ESrIElp. New York: d. APPLE.
roS \ Co, ii3 and 4ij Broadway.
This work is a compilation of the most va.
luable information which has been published
in relation to the cultivation of Indian corn :
and All the most important results of long ex-
perience are now for the first time published
in collected form. As the country RECEIVERS
from the prostration of war, corn will gra-
dually fall in price, and then particularly the
farmers of this State will find it unprof table
TO raise 1T for sale in market In the North
western States this has long been the case ard
1t Is known that corn, which will only bear the
cost of railroad transportation for Il short dis
tance in its natural form, becomes highly re-
munerative when converted into pork beef or
. mutton. In this connection, attention is called
TO the interesting chapters in Mr.. ENFIELD 5
work upon the cost of pork mutton, beef,
butter, and cheese, made from corn. Pork is
likely TO rule high for some time To come, and
so long rs that condition of affairs continues,
all farmers will find il TO their advantage TO
study the best means of cultirating and pro
ducing large crops of corn.
The h'e Word. BY EDWARD MEYRICK GoUL-
BURN, ID. ID. New York: APPLETON x Co..
AS and iij Broadway.
This little book con tains series of short rel-
gious essays upon the gift of speech and its
employment in conversation. II is written in
the true spirit of Catholic Christianity, free
from sectaranism and in tolerance, inculcatiug
the principle "that words, to redeem them
selves from the charge of being idle must fri.
I'll some cfMe eads trhich icOrlS lrtre deSi1leti
TO .fulM." DR.. GorLBrRN has evidently no de-
sire to discourage innocent mirth and recrea-
ton but enioins upon us the duty and neces
. sty of so acting and speaking as to avoid iniu-
ring others in word, thought, or deed. The
essay on Profane Language, the definition of
an Idle Word, and Hints for the Guidance of
Conversation, have q particular interest in
these days of profanity, gossip, and scandal
mongering, and can scarcely fail to be produc-
tive of good wherever carefully read.
