Standing Army—A scrap of History.
The annexed extract from Hinton’s History of
the United States by Knapp, vol. 1. p. 234, will
show the jealously which heretofore existed in
this country against a standing army :
“Jealousy of a standing army had also a pow
erful influence upon the military arrangements of
America. Indeed this spirit early insinuated
itself into the legislative bodies of the colonies,
and was displayed in many of their measures.
An indication of this feeling appears a the ad
dress presented by the provincial assembly of New
York to General Washington, while cn his tour
ney to the American camp. “We have the ful
lest assurance” say they, “ that whenever this im
portant contest shall be decided, you ill cheer
fully resign the important deposit cojnmitted to
your hands, and resume the characlrr of our
worthiest citizen.”—Congress, as a body, unques
tionably participated in this jealousy, find was a
fraid to trust a standing army with the power
necessary to con Met the war, lest at success
ful termination, this arm should tu-corrfe the mas
ter of the country for whose liberies it had
fought.” ‘ s [

Singular trial in France-1
Since the commencement of the present year,
Parisian society has been very much edited by a
charge of murder alleged against a yhung wo
man moving in the higher classes, who is char
ged with having poisoned her husband, M. Laf
large. This young lady, Marie Capjnle, is the
daughter of an officer of superior ray;-t, and the
niece of M. Garst, Governor of thjj Bank of
France, and her position, of course, k> Hevery one
to douot that such a crime as that alleged to her
charge could have been committed I*, her; but
the charge having been raised, and thf evidence ,
adduced sufficient to induce her committal for tri- ,
al, other facts were brought to the remembrance !
of her former acquaintance, which led to suspi- ’
cion that she had been guilty of acts ft pilfering; |
among others an old friend and coinydnion, the j
Viscountess Leosand, had lost a parure in dia- j
monels, and having had cause to suspec; her quon- '
dam friend, she caused her to be prosecuted, and
after a . rial, which has lasted several d-jys, she has
been found guilty, and sentenced to v tyvo years
imprisonment, to the restitution ot th<|sh amends,
or their value. When the judgment the court
was communicated to her, it would s a m she be
came greatly affected, and tainted avvak, and con
tinued suffering very considerably, bet-: we have
heard nothing to confirm the report < f or
even of apoplexy, which had likewise spread
about.—But the. most melancholy see lie is to fob
low, when she will be tried lor the murder ot her j
husband, by poison. Unfortunately tjh-ise crimes
are so common in France, that it requires all
the excitement which rank can gi ,r o to draw
them from the mere common-place of) a routine 1
case. Madame Laffarge, having been married last j
year, accompanied her husband to Brice, where .
he had some iron works which he di|?|cled him- |
self. Having been there for some tinj =, she ad- j
dressed him a letter in which she assumed him she i
loved another; that if not adulterous fin fact, she ;
was so in feeling and affection, and lhajfehe would j
become so as soon as the distance whi-fh separa- j
ted her from her real or imaginary could he ;
passed; he treated this letter as lhc| effect ot
some momentary excitement and remonstrated j
■°?ith her upon tno character of its language, in j
the hope that he would he able to biiiq* her back .
to the sentiments of propriety, which ho had giv- j
er, her credit for, and this lie had appeared to ef
fect. She admitted the impropriety pf having
written such a letter, the basis of which|she slated
tube untrue, became more closely allied, in ap
pearance, to his family, and more attached to
himself. Towards the end of the l ift year, he
had occasion, on account of his con percial ai
fairs, to leave his manufactory and proceed to
Paris; while there, for the Jour a’cs Hop, (twelfth
day,) she sent him a cake, made I)'» her own
hands, as she states, in a veiy affectio&ale letter,
adding that she had forward* i anothe; {to her sis
ter, and kept one also for herself, an | pointing
out the precise moment at which she vlished him
to oat his, as at that moment she woujl eat hers,
and that though separated by a ot many
leagues they could mutually he utried |t the same
banquet. Laffarge did so, and was seized
with dreadful vomitings. However, lij lrom sus
pecting his wife of such a llend-iikc ap, he imag
ined that the cake had become spcijyu on the
journey, or that he had impruccntly eaten 100
large a quantity, and therefore sough# the ordi
nary remedies, which had the effect if restoring
him to health, though leaving him in la state ot
weakness. As soon as he was able to travel, he ;
returned home to seek his fatal nurse; for if what
has appeared by the “ instruction” chji be relied
npon, it would seem that from the imff|eni of his ,
re Uirn she had watched over him, tended him in
bis sickness, in his sufferings, in his fait agonies,
with kindness, solicitude, and nil the affection ot
®devoted wife ; whilst every cup whiifh she pre
sented to him was drugged with arscni-%
And supposing she is found guilty of this
cr| nio. do’you imagine that she will be condemned
I°death] No! the jury, in its discretion, will I
bnd extenuating -circumstances, ami tjhe will bo j
condemned to the galleys, from \vhicl;| regard for !

Georgia, £ In the Superior Court, Septem-
Columbia County'. 3 her term, 1840.
Present his Honor John Schly.
MTE. the Grand Jury, sworn, chosen and etn-
T 7 pannclled for the county of Columbia, at
September term, 1840, make the following present
ments:
We have examined by r our committee, the offi
ces of the Superior, Inferior, and Ordinary Courts,
and laid them in such a slate as reflects much
credit upon the different officers.
We have examined the insolvent list, and allow
the Tax Collector the sum of fifty dollars and sixty
cents.
We present as a grievance the bad state of some
| portion of our public roads, particularly that por
-1 Ron between Big Kiokee and Greenbrier Creeks,
| leading fiom Augu-ta to Washington; also, th t
portion between Little River and Kiokee Creek,
leading from Augusta to Petersburg; also, that
portion of the Cobbham road from Bond’s section
below Wright’s Mill, to tlie forks of the road be
low ; a portion of the road in {district No. 3, and
also the lull on the West side of Jonathan Woods’
residence on the Washington road, and recommend
the attention ot the Inferior Court to this matter.
And we further recommend the letting out the
roads in this County to the lowest binder, and that
our B’enator and Representatives in the next Legis
lature have an act passed for this special purpose.
We respectfully' recommend with due defference
of opinion, a change of management as regards the
Penitentiary of this State. While similar institu
tions in other States are a source of revenue to the
States, ours has been an expense; and from the
experience of others we should at least learn some
thing. We therefore earnestly request the Legis
lature at its next meeting, to examine this subject,
and ascertain if it would not be belter to let tlie
same out to the lowest bidder to have, use, and
exercise tlie same powers that are now allowed
the principal keeper, restricting him to the policy
ii tended by the Blato m the punishment of crime,
in as humane a manner as it can he done, with
such guards thrown around the institution as may
be necessary to secure humane treatment of the
convicts.
To his Honor, Judge Schly, w r e tender our thanks
for the courtesy' lie lias extended to this body dur
ing the present term, as also for the
with which lie has despatched business. We ten
der our thanks also to the Attorney General for
the promptness and efficient manner in which he
has discharged his duties.
We request the foregoing presentments to be
published in the Chronicle & Sentinel of Augusta.
