Hutu he did, but tluii it w* entirely un

The prosecution war represents 1 by Mr.
Mcthviu, of fteovia, the defence by G .l,
Peavy.ol Ureenvillle Bothof.lbeaegentle
men were very untiling in their (flurtspiu ;
handled the case iu a akililul manner
wi rding up with speeches that would no
have uisgtaccd the bar ol any court.
About had an hour alter the conclusion
< I the speeches, the court gave its decis
ion, which w m man- laughter, and bound
the piis'mer over under a Umd of |DCO,
which he had no trouble in giviug.
Without diacuasiug the point*, I wil
add, that this verdict war a surprise to
uiDt-tciiihs of the citizen*, who have at
-1 ended the trial.
Thus ended a Dial that hat Urn attend
ed w itb at least one unusual and peculiar
feature. AH the animosity, bitterness ano
hatred that Ute trial has develop' and, has
proceeded Irom the immediate rela'ivet ol
the prisoner. It is to be feared that they
Lave beeu actuated mo o by prejudices
and hatred,engendered in a family quar
rel, then by a sense that law or Justice has
been greedy violated.—A* an evidr see of
tt, I will relate a little jgjrcumatatice that
took place when Cub I'eavy was making
his concluding speech. Mr. Jjlm Button,
brother to the prisoner, r<*e up in the
court room and screamed out, at the top
ol hit voice, add/rising tbe prisoner./ You
are a O—d d—in murderer; you killed
my Uother-ic-law ; you are a G-d d—d

Gen. Hardee, whoso manual of infantry
tactics was m u-e in all llie southern ar
mies, visited a rural Georgia town one day
during tlic war, and the commander ot a
sieond-claaj militia company sought to do
himself and tlic omoral honor by parad
ing lii* command iu front of the inn In
which Hardee had rooms. The writer
upon tactic* came out upou the balcony
to review Ilm command and the militia
ollicer pul Ids men through their paces.
In one ol tlic him ut ivrcs tlic men became
i onlusud, and got into a hopeless tangle.
Ilurdco, in telling the story, said that he
could think o| uo possible way iu which
they might be extricated, and waited with
grunt curiosity to sue what the command
er would do. That rut ul tact ieian looked
at the contused mass for a moment with a
scow 1 of porplexlty upon his forehead;
then his lace Cleared, and ho shouted thu
order t ...
"Disentangle to the Font; march.”
Whereupon thu men rushed forward
and formed anew line without regard to
the older ol Hie old one. Harden said the
command was not iu his own or any othir
nook on tactics, hut that it ought tube.
11 seems that liiciully relations have
been restored between Honator 11. IL Hill
sod Hun. A. 11. Stephens, who for the
psat five oi six years have not been oa

onciliation was spontaneous aud mutual;
jhat a common fcloud conveyed to each
what kind words were said of him by the
other , Hint Mr. Hiepliens having lauded
Mr. Hill's speeches, the latter was m vod
lo fot-plym ess ol his old enemy, whom ho
approached, and giuspiug his hand ad
