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 ! ber innocent and highly respectable pjunily, will i Preserve her. ; \ ffj Tlie Tippecanoe Club of Ward t\o. 1 is re quested to meet at the usual place on THURSDAY EVENING next, the 29th inst., at TfMj’clock, by appointment of THE PRESIDENT.

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.
