DR.. Littleton.

The trial Of DR.. Littleton was in
progress as we went to press last
week The testimony was conclu-
ded on Wednesday evening. The
argument of the counsel and the
charge of the court consumed the
whole of Thursday. The jury re-
tired to consult on their verdict
early Friday morning, and were out
until one O'Clock, when they bro't
in a verdict of manslaughter, the
indictment being for murder in the
second degree. The counsel for the
defendant have made motion for
a new trial on the ground that the
verdict is contrary to the weight of
evidence. On account Of the alb
sence of Judge Smith, who is hold
ing court at Day ton, the motion
has not yet been argued, but the
term Of court stands unadjourned
for the purpose of hearing this mo-
ton, which will be done at the ear
liest opportunity. or course no
sentence will be pronounced until
this motion is disposed of.-Le5a-

to behold his better half seated in

clear voice, stretching out her

back and slept on. In the morning
he spoke to her about it, and was
not more surprised than amused to
learn that she had been born in the
country, and that a fayorite Shang-
hal which roasted with his feathered
family in the hen-coop, near the
maternal bed chamber, frightened
her motherby his loud growing, and
thus the child was marked" And

A VALUABLE Milk FARM.-Mr.
Ross Winans, of Baltimore, now
over seventy years Of age, purchas-
ed in 1861, q farm Of about 700
acres, along the banks of the Patap-
SEQ River, and about six miles from
Baltimore. His land cost him $780,
900; he added buildings at a cost
of $4,000; his fencing cost him
$1,000, and he manured at an out
lay of S67, ,O00-making the total
cost of his estate Sl20,000. Dur
ing the year ending on the 1st of
May last, his sales Of milk amount
ed to $4,000 Il; Of cows and
calves, in the same period, he sold
$11,9S6 worth, and had fifteen or
twenty more animals on hand than
at the commencement of the year
He however purchased $9,098 worth
of cows and heifers during the year
At the close of the year he had on
hand 22O tuns of hay, and his total
product Of hay for the year was
estimated at l 800 tuns-a great av
erage per acre. His system Of ma
nuring tends to build up and nour-
ish his land, and not to impoverish
it. His milk is sold to the small
grocers in Baltimore, at 30 cents a
gallon.

But it hardly needs remark, thai
those decisions were made under
circumstances widely different from
those which now exist.
They were made by the Courts OF
States which had succeeded in their
attempts to sever their colonial con
nexion with Great Britain, and sane
toned acts which depended for
their validity wholly upon that sue.
cess; and can have no application
to a rebel self.styled government,
seeking the severance Of constitu-
tional relations Of States to the Tn
ion, but defeated in the attempt,
and, itself, broken up and destroyed.
Those who engage in rebellion
must consider the consequences.
If they succeed, rebellion becomes
revolution; and the new govern
ment will justify its founders. If
they fail, all their acts hostile to
the rightful government, are viola
tions Of law, and originate no rights
which can be recognized by the
courts Of the nation whose author,
ity and existence have been alike as
sailed.
We hold, therefore, that compul-
sorry payment, under the Sequestra-
ton acts, to the rebel receiver, of
the debt due to the plaintiffs from
the defendant was no discharge.
It's claimed, however, that what
ever may be the right Of the plain
tifs to recover the principal debt
from the defendant, they cannot re,
cover interest for the time during
which war prevented all communi-
cation between the States in which .
they respectively resided
We cannot think 50. Interest is
the lawful fruit Of principal There
are, indeed, some authorities to the
point thatintcre,t which has accrued /.
Turing war between independent
nations, cannot be afterward recoy-
cred though the debt with other
may be. But that rule, in
our judi ment, is applicable only to
such wars. We perceive nothing
in the act Of July 18th, 1861, which
for time all pacific in
tercourse between the legal and in
portion Of the country, that
requires Or justifies the application
Of that rule to the case before us.
Legal rights could neither be origi-
lated nor defeated by the action of
.he central authorities of the late
rebellion.
The plaintiff must have judgment
for the principal and interest of his
debt, without deduction. /
