Especial TELEGRAM To the Disps,ch. !

! LlNEABlRG COURTHOUSE, VA, August
14.-The crowd here to-day was almost I'M
precedentedIy large, the whites being
chiefly drawn together as witnesses, iu-
rors, friends. and spectators in the Garland
case; the negroes 10y n meeting for the
election Of delegates TO the Burkeyille
/ Convention.
Garland has been closely confined in
! Jail since Judge Dickinson two weeks ago
refused him bail when applied to on a writ
Of haJenS corpus. lie has a comfortable
room and a decent bed, and is fed from
/ the hotel. lie has behaved himself very
handsomely, the officers say. He was
visited by some reporters this morn
/ ing. and cOnversed with them rea-
/ Oily on general topics, and to one who
asked him il there was any foundation for
/ the intimation in Miss IIatchett's first letter
that during his residence in the Southwest
his hands were stained with human blood,
/ he said it was not true; that II he thought
/ anything like that was to be introduced in
the trial he would have her Stbp0naed.
A. matter OF fact, however, she is way
down in North Carolina. and consequently
/ beyond the jurisdiction Of this court.
NOT ENGAGED TO HER.
/ believe it has not heretofore been pub
lished that Addison died in great agony.
\ gentleman here who saw him several
times after the wOunding says his suffer
ings exceeded anything he ever saw or
heard OF. Before he was removed from
the field he asked that the doctor would
tell him the character Of the wound. Being
told that, to say the least, it was very dam
gerOuS, he instantly dispatched a mes
senger to Burkcyille to telegraph his
mother that he wanted to see her:
and when his mother came on from
/ Baltimore he called for a double dose
Of morphine that he might be quoted. and
she spared the knowledge Of the eycru-
ciating pains he was enduring from the
wound through his bowels. Besides the
singular facts that Garland and Addison
had never met until the day Of the shoot
ing, and that, living within seven mile, q
each other. they conducted their core
spondcncc by tri-weckly mail, it now ap-
pears that neither Addison or Garland
was engaged TO the young lady.
