The last WaH and Testament of Gen
Washington.-We are not In The habit
Of making any very. extended remarks
in r. ference to books, but the real merit
of The one above mentioned, induces us
to depart from our general rule, and give
II more than passing notice. 1t con-
tains so much of information in regard
to the properly of Gen. Washington, that
ae do think IL should be in the hands
of every lover ofihe Fa her OF bis coun-
try. The Typ ,gr 'phical appearance Of
the book is not it's least reco,nmenda-
tion, as It is printed in style of the art
which challenges admiration. In addi-
to the last will al d testament IF Gen.
Geo. Washington, the book contains
not only complete schedule OF bis pro.
perty, but anecdotes of this remarkable
man, biographical sketches ofthe family,
and fac sim'le of the Washington Coat
Of Arms The publication is commen-
ded by such men as Thomas F. Bayard,
Chivalier M. Cerratli, (Iate Italian
Minister) the late Hon. Reverdy John
/ son, Benjamin f. Butler, George s.
Boutwell,, (ate Secretary of the Treasury
aud many others.
II vii: be furnished in pamphlet form
at the extreme low rate Of so cents per
copy, and in cloth binding for $1.0O.
Mr.. S. e. Pryor has secured the agen-
cy for this work, is now canvassiDg a.
mpng our ci',zens for Its sale, and we
trust that all will see the necessity of
| procuring copy of 1t. It is the only
authenticated copy in existence, and Is
really worth double the amount of mon
| ey asked for it.
To be Indicted. The Gazette learns
| from Coroner Groves that 81 'sAttorney
f7renniuston -i.teods to prosecute Joseph
Phillips and Mrs. Downey on tho charge
that they murdered the late Edward
Downey. 1t seems to us that this would
ne useless, as there was no proof before
the Coroner's jury that could possibly
lead to conviction OF the parties iuplI-
Gated. Had poison been found in the
stomach by the chemists, then there
would have been conclusive evidence of
foul play, but IN its absence, connected
with the testimony of the physicians, all
the rumors in regard to the matter, based
on the assertions of man under the
influence Of liquor, will amount to moth
ing. The verdict Of the Coroner's jury
aud the testimony of the attend
ing physicians, would be more conclu-
sive Than mere rumor or even agreement
Of strange circumstances. and the jury
would be forced to render q verdict of
not guilty. II is therefore sound policy
It seems 10 let the matter pass without
further notice, unless there be some new
discoveries that will change the entire
aspects of the case.
