A correspondent of the Augusta Constltu-
\ tlonalst says:
EDGEFIELD COURTHOUSE, January II.
ltEditor of CopStitutiOndliSt-Dur the past
week several very important cases nave Deen
tried in our court. The will case OF Hugh
Mosely occupied two days. This was second
trial, as the case had been tried two years ago
and sent back, on the ground of misdirection
by the Judge. The tcstator had by his will cut
of his wife and child, Except her dower.) and
gave his property TO niece. HIS WIDOW
Sought to set aside the will, on the ground
that at the time he made his will he was labor
ing under morbid delusion on certain SUBJ
ject; but as no insanity had been proved, the
jury sustained the validity of the will. The
case Of Grice VS.. Mobley, on an acton
of case, for cntcing away the laborcrs OF
thSblaintiff in 1867 This was novel case in
our court, and being the first cause of the
kind, attracted unusual attention. The accu,
sation was that four laborers were cnticed
away by the defendant. The jury gave verdict
action commenced here, Attaway VS.. eoleman,
in 1868, but the defendant paid UP 'he DANA
ges before the first term Of the court. slfni-
lar case OF Hankerson VS.. Foreman, and the
iury gave q verdict for $3.50. Hon. Y. +.
Leslie, land commissioner and senator from
Barnwell, undertook to have the verdict SET
aside at the February term in Barnwel, lSGo,
hnt failed. The writer of this was present, and
heard Leslie upOn the cOnstitutionality OF the
verdict, He said if any such law existed, ne
should have it Immediately repealed. All nave
to say is. that if one neighbor entlces away
the laborers OF another, after tney nave maze
an agreement for specified time, ana gone 10
work, by offering them more IMAM luey ale
getting, they should be held accountaDle LOT
damages, and be made TO pay smart ana dam,
a9es besides; and the the good citizens VIII
endorse all such yerdicts. This eatcing away

Trade with the PROVINCES.

At the meeting Of the Social Science As.
ISOLATION, in Philadelphia, Mr. T.. II. Derby
of Boston, made an address on the mutual
relations of the British Provinces and the
United States. The question considered was
Would the admission Of the British Provin.
ces into our Union benefit the Provinces and
The States, extend their markets and lower
the cost Of living and production? Mr.. Der
by noticed the fact that each patty has what
the other requires. The Provin ,es have for.
esis, timber, mines and fisheries aud produce
oats, barley and potatoes in great abundance
for all Of which there is demand and
ready market in the States which have in
abundance what the Provinces require man.
ufactures of various kinds, corn, pork, sugar,
cotton, rice and tobacco.
That it is for the mutual benefit Of these
countries to have free trade is proved by the
operation of the Reciprocity Treaty. Dur.
ing the eleven years that that treaty was in
operaton, the trade between the States and
Provinces rose to 100000 tons; the ton.
mage OF the Provinces doubled, the exports
to the United States tripled, aud even exceed.
cd the shipments to England Two years al.
ter this reciprocity treaty had ceased all the
provincial shipments to the States, except
lumber had fallen off more than IS per cent ,
provincial tonnage had declined corresnond.
inely as had also the price OF land and the
provincial emigration to the States increased
enormously while New England, especially
los. q large portion OF her food aud raw ma,
.er'al' These facts secm to answer very sat.

union is desirable between the States and the
Provinces Of North America, N '"'
