FROM PENDLETON COUNTY.

We copy, from the Wheeling Register.
the following extract from n letter written
for that paper by a correspondent from Pen
dleton, dated October 2is,, 1867:
Our Circuit Court convened on the Is.
and adjourned on the 9th inst, His Hon
or, Judge Bunker presiding. The FIRST case
that came up was that of John Middleton.
who had been indicted some time since for
the murder Of George Heudrick, in the win.
ter of '6l, son of Reuben uendrick, of this
county, boy of fourteen years old, who
never did bin any harm in the world. The
facts of the case are these: Middleton and
some of his party came to the house of
Mr.. Hendrick after night aud ordered a
light, which was got, and after pluudering
around the house, and finding nobody there
but Mr.. Hendrick, his wife, and this boy,
he raised his revolver and shot him through
the head, killing him in few moments.
without giving any notice or cause for the
act. He then left. On leaving, Mr LII
walked into the yard in great distress, as
father necessarily would be, saying "you
have killed my boy" and he replied, with
an oath, $50 hack into tie house and stay
until morning, or II! do you the same way"
la the trial of the case, the State was rep
resented by Mr.. s. Ii. Corn, State Attor-
ney. The prisoner was defended by Geo
A. Blakem,re, of franklin. The defense
put in plea of drunkenness. The eyi.
dence was not very conclusive, but having
two OF his colleagues in murder and plum
der on the jury, Martin Bennett, of Cap
tain Suyder's so-called Swamp" company,
and Henry Dever, both absentees from the
late Southern army, who were for clearing
him at FIRST, but finally found him guilty
of murder in the second degree, aud fixed
his time Of Imprisonment in she State PEN
ltentiary at eighteen years. The Sheriff
lsft next morning with the prisoner for
Wheeling twas the opinion of everybody
that he would be hung, aud when t!,e jury
came from their room, u change in the coun-
tenance of His Honor was very visible to
the eyes of all, When the prisoner heard
the verdict he remarked, Il have one mere
friend yet" That was the Governor, who
would pardon him.

speaking of Burr and Hamilton, said
Burr, above al men whom l ever knew,

yading and covering up the arguments of

dust into the eyes of the jury, aud make
them believe that there was neither force
nor sense, nor anything else ia the argu-
ments OF the opposite counsel. He never
met position or answered an argument,
but threw around them the mist of s,phis-
try, and thus weakened their force. lie

always on the right side (in his opinion },
and always perfectly confident

that could ever be fairly claimed for them,
and attacked and demolished them with the

IN cause unless he believed he was on tue

that the vote Of the Radicals, (propcD was

ter OF this paper, (6lling the Editors chair

we have reason to hope that, in the T.egis-

on public questions, as deli6erately as he
will express them temporarily, while, on

comes true and faithful son of hers to DO.
In the adjoining County of Mineral, Mr..
WM NJ. WEIGH, (Rad) beats Job Sions,

The news from the State at large is Of a
favorable type. The reaction against the
ntfra-radicattsni which has prevailed in the
State, has certainly set in, and we trust that
the rule Of that Ism is coming to its end ere
long. The triumphs, in adjacent States, :
