4 RELIC OF TIE PAST.

The battery of the Virginia Military
Institute, consisting of 6 picccs--two-
twelve pound howitzcrs and four siX-
FOUNDER field picccs-captureu by the
fcdcralS in Richmond evacuation, has
been restored to the College by the
Secretary of War. At the time the
corps of cadets and the Institute officers
were ordered to tichnond in the
spring of 1861, this battery, given the
State in 1858, under direction OF Hon.
w. l.. Marcy, Secretary War, with all
its equipment and outfit was included
in the order. Tho cadets composing
the graduating class of the corps were
commissioned in the Virginia line and
appropriate disposition made of tho
officers and the rest of the corps, and
the battery reserved for disposal by
Gov. Lctchcr. Az this .juncture the
Richmond lIowitzcr Company, com
manucu by Geo. w. RandoIph, with
six guns on field carriages, had re-
cruitcd in men sufficient to form three
companies aud Il battalion of that nurn-
Der Of companies was accordingly or
dcrcd, under command of Randolph
The Institute battery, including the
entire outfit in harness, ammunition,
&C., was issued to Capt. Shields, now
of the Richmond Wing, who immcdi-
ntrly reported TO Gen. Bonham, then
passing to Manassas with Il South Car
oiint brigade Of inf:tntry. The fnsti-
tutc battery was retained by the How
itzcr company till the spring OF 1853,
when il WAS substituted by Napoleon
guns, and the carriages being much
worn the battery was returned To- the
Virginia armOry at Richmond, where
it remained till the advent Of the fctlcr-
al troops in 1865. It's return to the
Institute is especially gratifying and
the realization Of ga hope long dc.
fcrrcd."
Tho campaign Of the federal general
Hunter in lSG / left the Institute bar
racks and buildings in ruins, her libra
riC4 and vnluablcs in ashes; but from
. this ,it-sUittiOn she has arisen and Ina.
restored with greater -plcndor all tha

going forward in her destiny Of stil
greater Usefulness, the Institute ha
reason 10 rejoice nj the return IF hr
long lost jewels.

the other persons there did, they are
equally guilty, even if they went to
ColfaN after the fight was over, or left
it before the killing of the negroes COM
mcnced.
The demand OF Nash on Irwin to
serve as Il deputy sheriff is no excuse.
Nash had no right to attack the Court
house. His remedy was open ut law ;
he could not make it question of
battle who was the legal sheriff. For
four other prisoners, Gibbons, the two
Lemoines, and Hickman, the defense
claim that they were not present at
Colfax. 1t is not necessary to prove
that these prisoners were in Colf;,x on
the 18th. If it is shown that they, at
any time in April, We're in the con-
spiracy, they are as guilty as if they
tie.
If you find the accused are guilty of
this conspiracy, it is next necessary for
you to determine whether in this con-
spiracy Tiilman was killed. This must
be proved to your satisfaction before
any verdict on the last sixteen counts
can be rendered. You may, however,
find all or any of the prisoners guilty
of all or any of the counts charged.
This is Il case of Importance and mag
nitude to the people of the United
States and State of Louisiana. On one
side is involved pnbIic peace and order;
ON the other the lives of these prisoners.
But l trust that if they are guilty, you
will have the courage and manhood to
say so by your verdict. And may God
assist you in your Judgment.

n committee of the South Carolina
Legislature has sustained Judge Il. l..
Carpenter, who was accused of having
dismissed II coiorcd jury on tho ground
of prejudice. The committee find that
the twelve negroes were the most mex
pericnccd and incompetent men on the
panel, entirely unacquaintcd with the
simplest forms of law in regard to t,c
vcrdicts of jurics, and that not one OF
them could read or write. When asked
if they had agreed in Il case of grand
larceny, the foreman replied first, ono
BILL" and then, "Nonc guilty." Judge
Carpenter discharged them on the
ground that they were incompetent to
sit under the statute, which requires
jurors to be men of "Sound Judgment"
After the verdict had been entered and
the foreman had Ir.adc his mark, three
OF the jurors told the court that they
had not agreed to the verdict, but be-
licvcd the prisoner guilty. The com
mittcc wisely decided that Judge Car
pentcr acted honestly and faithfully in
dismis5ing these ignorant persons from
the consideration Of eases involving
liberty and life.
