SURRATT'S THIAL.--In the Surrat iltal
Yesterday the testimony bore almost exclusive
" upon the character for truth and veraclty OF
witnesses heretofore examined. The prosecu-
ton, it. will he remembered, put upon the
stand a number of citizens OF Ce"ll county,
Nd. who swore that Stephen i. Cameron, q
witness for the defence, was not to be believed.
To-day the defence met that evidence by pro-
ducing large number of the best citizens OF
Elkton and Of Cecil county, most OF whom
testified to an intimate acquaintance with Mr.
Cameron, to moving in the same social circle,
and they all gave him as good a character as
any man could desire. Among these witness
cs we're Hon Hiram Mccullough, representa-.
tive in Congress from the Cecil district, and
number Of the oldest citizens.
At times during the progress OF this case the
prosecution has attempted to make capital be-
fore the jury. and to create feeling against
Surratt by eliciting the fact that many OF the
prisoners witnesses had sympathlzed with TIE
South in the recent struggle. The delrnce IN
bringing witnesses to-day 10 sustain Alr.
Cameron : character, promptly met that sort
| Of argument by showing that most Of the Wit
nesses who testified to his good character for
| truth had either served in the Union army CT
| were earnest sympathizers with the lInlon
cause.
The testimony in rebuttal has not yet closed,
bnt in order to save time witnesses for The
| defence IN su;rebuttai were allowed to be put
| upon the stand to-day. 1t IL scarcely possible
that the testimony will close this week. The
prosecution is awaiting the arrival OF Two gen
lemen connected with The Northern Central
| Railroad, and the detcnce has yet quite anunI-
Der Of witnesses az to character, &c.
| Mr.. G. V Hess, wholn the defence attempted
to show was the man taisen tor ;llrratt by l'ye,
on the night OF t he assassination, was IN court to-
day, and he vas asked 10 stand beside Surratt,
in order that the jury might compare them
with each other. Surratt is much taller than
lfessl,aS paIor lace, and wears light nl0us
tachc. Hess moustache Is very black.
The interest in this trial does pol aecla to
abate in the least although it has 'etn III pro.
gress seven weeks. Almost every arHIiahia
| seat within the bar Is still occupied by Illcs,
and some half dozen OF Tie latter have been
present every day. They bring lunch with
them and sit the day out, no matter how hot
or uncomfortable the room may be, Bait. SHa

Is VIRGINIA A STATE?-Thc only ground
upon which Congress proceeded to recognize
such Il State rs West Virginia. and to admit it
into the Union is declared in the very act OF
admission To be the consent O! the State III
Virginia, and of the proposed State of West
Virginia. to the formation OF this new State.
But if Virginia was not State OF this Union,
Virginia could give no such CONSENT and it
follows inevitably that if Virginia is now not,
after the rebellion has been put down, State
OF the Union, she v as not State OF the Union
in December, 1862, when this act was passed,
and if Virginia is not State OF the Union,
neither is West Virginia. When, therefore,
in these military acts Congress declares that
Virginia is not legal State, the legality of
West Virginia is necessarily impeached.--
