The high court is over. 1t wound up
lis business finally OF Saturday morn
ins.rendcring its decisions. There was
u1 pleading before it after Thursday.
The Judges left on the first train tor
their homes except Judge Moore, who
tarried over Sabbath. Perhaps he is a
bachelor and was not in a hurry. L
think the honorable gentlemen were
pleased with cur town and community,
and spent very pleasant term and will
come to us again with pleasure. The
members of our bar already renowned
for their courtesy and hospitality, both
in the forum and at their homes, made
q fine impression upon their honors,wh
will doubtless treasure them in memory.
The sessions of the Court were very
harmonious, there appearing no friction
on the bench OF with the bar. The
case of most interest to our community
was that of Farmers Bank OF Virginia,
against n. Willis, Esq, respected cit
zen of our section. The amount In
yolyed was about $4,000. The case
WAS brought up from the Circuit Court
of Jefferson, where it had gone against
Willis. The sympathy was with Mr.
Willis, and his bOndsmen, Flagg, Wash
ineton and Eichelberger. The Court
in its wisdom affirmed the decision OF
the lower Court, of course,we conclude,
according to law, impartially and true.
We may imagine 4 jury warped III Its
feelings upon a local question, and CIV
inr verdict with n biased judgment.

f,.rcnt sections of the State, and know
inc neither party to the suit would give
their decision on strictly legal principles
The Camp above Winchester closed
ON Monday morning, after II days du-
ration. They were not to be beat by
the wet weather, with which they had
to contend at the first of it. They held
over the second Sunday. \ deep reliS-
ious feeling was abroad among the pco-
ule during its last days. Seventy or
eighty protested conversion, and the
meeting will be continued at the neigh
borino towns of Middletown and New
town, | learn there were from 25OO to
5000 persons present on Sunday, VINO
were discoursed to by Rev EosSer,wlth
his accustomed eloquencc and power.
The services in the afternoon were mix

crs and sermon at night. But three or
tour ministers staid to the last, and they
were very much worn out from eXces'
sivc lahors.
