The Garland Trial.

The Lunenburg correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch says:
"The Addisons,I believe never would have
cared to exert themselves on behalf of the
prosecution but for the fact that it was stat
ed that Joe had sought to shelter himself
behind tree. They could not stand any
accusation of cowardice against their below
ed brother. What they did, am told was
more to defend his memory than to punish
Garland. y
"Mr. Taylor made great reputation for
himself. He is q man Of about thirty, and
not of large statue; but his head seems as
full of law and common-sense as an egg is
of meat. All the attacks which counsel
deemed their duty to make upon him as
the representative Of private malice he
took in good part. He is by no means want
ing in spirit, but he refused to ruin his case
by an angry explosion, however the taunts
may have justified it.
There is a good deal about this case that
has not yet come out. The private letter
written Addison by Miss Hatchett when
she sent him the one to Garland would
throw light upon the subject 1t ought to
be published. TWAS read by three or four
people, and various accounts are given of
it. On one hand it is statsd that she there.
in released Addison from his engagement
On another, it is represented that it says
Addison first told Miss Hatchett Garland
was circulating reports about them =
Miss Hatchett will now return to this
county, and it may be that some one, for
her, will make an explanation of points
now poorly understood. Addison's letters
to her might reveal great deal. The whole
truth will come out after awhile"

TO THE unsophisticated, the most re-
markable thing about political affairs in
Virginia is the fact that while the republi-
cans of the State have regularly nominated
party candidates in the field and are striy-
ing to elect them, and, at their meetings. are
passing resolutions, of which the following
is a sample-''Resolved That we. the re-
publicans of Norfolk, are National republi-
cans, and we owe allegiance to the National
republican party'-the republican Admins
tration is doing all it can 10 defeat and
crush them, and to make them subordinate
to man who was their most proscriptive
enemy until he found that his own party
thoroughly understood him and would
therefore not prefer him. But to those who
remember that the President is the same
man who was removed by republicans from
the Collectorship of New York for cause.n
and that General Malone has promised him
the vote of Virginia in the next national re-
publican convention there is nothing re-
markable about the thing referred to, indeed
it seems as natural as failing off log.'

ton he held until his death, except when
the State was under military rule. A purer
and nobler character no man ever possessed,

amid the sincere regrets of the people OF

all the traits that make Virginia gentle
men-"one of the olden time;-and we can
pay no higher tribute to his many virtues
